Negotiations between the Lakers and Robinson's camp quickly reached an impasse.

Because West went against Louis's death order - not to give Robinson a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

According to the normal negotiation process, West offered a five-year, $35 million offer that made Robinson's camp very angry.

That means 7 million a year.

Robinson's agent Lee Fentress said angrily: "Are you really sincere in negotiating? If you are sincere, please come up with a better offer. This is a complete humiliation to David!"

Fentress could be forgiven for being angry.

In the eyes of Robinson's camp, Robinson is still the league's top center.

What contracts do the other top centers in the league hold?

The first is Ewing, who holds the highest salary in the league. From this year to 1998, his starting salary will be US$18 million.

Then there is Olajuwon. Not long ago, the Trail Blazers reached a three-year contract with him worth $36 million, which is almost 12 million per year.

As expected, O'Neal will sign a max-salary contract extension with the Magic this summer.

Sampson, who is getting stronger with age, also earns tens of millions of dollars in annual salary in Miami.

The Robinson camp considers Robinson to be on the same level as those mentioned above.

If they can get tens of millions of dollars in annual salary, Robinson can too.

"The premise is that he does not encounter ACL."

West acted very realistically and made Robinson's camp understand that today is different from the past. Unless Robinson can prove that he is still the league's top center, it will be difficult to get the offer he wants.

But people's hearts are always greedy.

Of course Robinson can be satisfied with 7 million per year, but if he continues to insist, won't the Lakers raise the offer?

That will allow him to make more money every year.

Negotiations between the two sides have reached an impasse.

On December 2, a dramatic game from the NHL attracted the attention of many non-NHL fans.

In the game against the Detroit Red Wings, the league's top team, the Montreal Canadiens lost by 10 goals with an astonishing 1-11 margin. This is also a direct manifestation of the insurmountable internal conflicts within the Canadiens.

The Canadiens' star goalkeeper, Patrick Roy, was directly responsible for this debacle. He was slouching on the field, and the coaching staff insisted on keeping him on the field, knowing that his mind had already flown to other teams.

humiliated.

After the game, Luo Yin frantically cursed all his teammates and coaching staff except the captain, and then, he got his wish and was traded.

"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"

The Los Angeles media also paid attention to this matter, and they regarded Luo Yin's break with the Canadians as the NHL version of the "Miami Meltdown."

The so-called "Miami Collapse" actually refers to what happened within the Miami Heat on the eve of the Canadians' most humiliating game in team history.

Danny Manning is eager to challenge Sampson's status and frequently declares his sovereignty to show the outside world that the Heat are his team.

no problem.

Sampson will be 36 years old after the new year, and he is very happy to see Manning take over.

However, another player on the Heat team, Dennis Rodman, recalled bad memories of Manning.

Manning is too much like the Ewing who was driven crazy by jealousy of Benj.

Rodman has reason to believe that if Ewing and Benj had not fallen out, Louis would not have chosen to take a two-year break after 1993, and he would not have left New York, let alone joined the Heat.

He doesn't hate Miami.

Although this is not an international metropolis like New York, it is a tourist city with beautiful scenery, pleasant environment, and beauties everywhere you look. Moreover, it also has a very mature adult film industry.

This is Rodman's new hobby. He likes to get in touch with the women who make adult movies.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery of Miami is, it is not New York after all.

If the team can maintain the appearance of last season, Rodman can treat Miami as his second home. However, everything Manning does reminds Rodman of Ewing and those unhappy things.

Therefore, Rodman chose to come forward to beat Manning for Sampson.

He started with a curse word and said, "You are not qualified to be the boss at all", which angered Manning, and the two got into a fight on the training field.

Rodman naturally had the upper hand, and Manning was badly beaten and missed the game that night.

Lewis Shafir tried his best to block the news, but underestimated Manning's ability to fight in court.

How could Manning give up after receiving a beating?

That night, all the well-known media got the inside story spread from Manning's camp. After a period of editing and deletion, it vilified Rodman and beautified Manning.

The next day, media outlets across the country reported the "Miami Meltdown."

Shafir was exhausted both mentally and physically. He had obviously tried his best to block the news, but the thieves could not be prevented - Louis was too experienced in this.

Seeing what the Heat were like, Louis suddenly realized that he had done a good job during his years in New York. At least, he allowed the Knicks' conflict to drag on for six years before it fully erupted.

The Heat had just won the championship, and they exploded within two seasons.

Billy Donovan complained to Louis about this matter, implying that he wanted to trade Rodman.

"Billy, are you telling me this because you want to send Dennis to us?" Louis asked alertly.

Donovan could only smile bitterly.

Where else could Rodman be sent?

He wanted to send Rodman to Los Angeles, but it was actually for the good of the other party.

Although Rodman didn't make any mistakes while playing under him, at most he missed training for no reason, disappeared for several days and missed games for no apparent reason, and behaved badly when he was unhappy on the court... Apart from these, Rodman was still a good person.

players.

Because Donovan was an assistant coach with the Knicks, Rodman had basic respect for him.

But respect alone is not enough.

Donovan couldn't think of anyone other than Louis who could make Rodman straighten his attitude.

"Coach Lu, I really don't know what to do with Dennis."

"Why do you want to deal with him? Have you already come to this point?"

Donovan's answer surprised Louis.

"Indy (Manning's nickname⑴) has made it clear that he no longer wants to be teammates with Dennis. If we insist on keeping Dennis, then he can only ask for a trade." It feels uncomfortable to be threatened, but Donovan and Shafi

Er was powerless, "We can only satisfy him."

Obviously Louis and Manning have not exchanged a few words, but through various rumors in the past few years, his dislike of this person has already exploded.

"So what do you think, do you want to meet his unreasonable demands again and again? Are the Heat a team owned by Danny Manning alone? Have you asked other players for their opinions?"

"Dennis doesn't have many friends in the team... Even the fight with Indy this time was an accidental act... No one is on his side."

Dennis didn't have many friends on the team.

This sentence hit Louis.

He recalled those unforgettable times in New York. How many friends did Rodman have in the Knicks?

Benj may be considered half.

And then? No more.

Although Rodman won seven consecutive championships with that group, he only had half as many friends as Benj.

What does half a friend mean?

They may not usually call each other to greet each other.

After spending so many years in New York and winning seven championships, he only made half a dozen friends in the end.

Taking him to Los Angeles?

Louis is not an emotional person. He feels regretful and sorry for Rodman, but let him let the past go.

Donovan thought Louis could make Rodman behave, but Louis didn't think he could.

At least he didn't do it in New York.

Looking back on Louie's last season in New York, Rodman began the craziness of lacking professionalism like today.

At that time, Louis could only take advantage of his illness to take him into the starting lineup and officially correct Kemp.

In the Lakers, he doesn't have this need.

Whenever Rodman comes, he has to come on the bench.

Who wants a substitute who doesn't behave at all?

Louis has decided to turn a page. His coaching career in Los Angeles has just begun, and the team has not even been finalized. He does not want to have a negative example like Rodman on the team to teach the young people in the team.

"Billy, thank you for being so considerate of Dennis, but I have no intention of reliving old dreams."

Louis calmly gave a rational answer.

Ultimately, the Heat needed to make a trade they didn't want to make.

On December 3, the league office announced: "The Miami Heat will send Dennis Rodman and Wang Mukong to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Dontonio Wingfield PF and Jeff Malone."

⑴ Manning has two nicknames in this plane, one is Sampson II, and the other is taken from the name of the actor in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Indiana Jones. Indy is the nickname of Indiana.
