The rest is just noise

In August, Louis returned to the United States from China.

He has been traveling between China and the United States every year for the past three years, and this has gradually become an established itinerary.

The biggest thing that happened this month was the trade between the Lakers and the Spurs.

Wilkins + cash for David Robinson, the details have been mentioned before, so I won’t repeat them.

The Knicks' signing went smoothly. Baylor first signed a non-guaranteed contract with Billy Donovan. Moreover, according to Louis' instructions, Baylor also added an interesting option to the contract.

"If both parties reach an agreement, he can take up other positions under the arrangement of the team."

Brad Rohaus signed on easily.

He signed a 5-year, 1 million contract.

Miller's contract was wrangling for a month, and Baylor was undoubtedly a vampire. Miller's agent, Steve Greenberg, proposed a starting salary of 500,000, but he forced the price down to 350,000.

Finally, Miller signed a four-year, $1.5 million rookie contract with a team option.

After learning the details, Louis could only say that choosing Baylor as the deputy general manager was the right decision. He could really lose face and quarrel with the players.

Moreover, he always considers himself an old-school player.

He opened his mouth and said, "How could a rookie earn so much money in our era?" and the mental attack was, "Just be content, you haven't proven yourself at all."

Outside New York, an unexpected piece of news emerged.

The Lakers used the veteran clause, also known as the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar clause, to sign Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for 4 million in two years.

Louis remembers when West said that the Lakers did not intend to keep Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. What was he saying?

A brief look at the Lakers' current lineup makes it clear.

Robinson must go to the Navy to serve, and there is a vacancy at the center position, so they need Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to play for another two years. For Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, money is not earned in vain. Even if he has already conducted a retirement tour, he still has to play two more years.

Year, anyway, it is not the first time for him to play with the fans' emotions.

Maybe he thought the fans owed him this.

There are not many other things. For example, the Houston Rockets lost a head coach, the temporarily named Charlotte Spirit hired its own general manager, and the Warriors hired Don Nelson as vice president of basketball operations... these are all

Some news that is irrelevant in the short term.

Earlier this month, while Louis was still enjoying his vacation, Lorraine was about to make her debut as Monica Bellucci.

Penny Marshall's drama will start filming next month. The male lead is Tom Hanks and the female lead is Elizabeth Perkins. They are both my favorite actors. However, what is interesting is that at this time

Hanks was not the "Forrest Gump" who would be remembered later, nor was he the team leader in "Saving Private Ryan". At least before 1987, he was an actor, but no one remembered his movies.

Lorraine only plays a minor role in the play, and Penny promised to give her some scenes to show herself.

After reading the script, Louis felt that it was okay and very innovative. Probably every child has imagined that they can grow up overnight. They hope to be "omnipotent" like adults. And every adult may be missing the past.

During my childhood, I occasionally secretly sighed.

The script of this drama reminded Louis of Andy Lau's "Child's Dream" which made him very sad. Andy Lau gained the ability to grow up overnight, but when he regretted it, he found that he could no longer go back. In this movie

, the ending of the male protagonist is much better.

He didn't know whether the movie would be successful because he hadn't seen it.

Just by looking at this script, if it were him, he would buy a ticket.

Lorraine is very excited, this is the first stop on her acting career, but she still has something to deal with - find a reliable agent.

This matter is still under the control of Louis. Louis must ensure that her agent understands what scenes are acceptable and what are not.

If the other person doesn't understand or shows any hesitation, Louis will ask the other person to leave without hesitation.

In the end, they settled on an agent who was experienced, had no bad reputation, and got along well with every artist under his banner.

His advice to Louis was: "If you want Monica to be remembered not just for her beauty, then you should find a way to make her acting skills better."

Louis thinks what he said makes sense. If he doesn't have acting skills, he can only be a vase.

Otherwise, no matter how many resources we have, we will only end up being criticized like Jing*.

In mid-August, Louis resumed work.

But it was forced because something happened.

Dale Ellis had a car accident while driving in his hometown. According to reports, he was driving drunk. The accident did not kill him. He went to the hospital but suffered multiple injuries and is expected to need to rest for 2-3 months.

When Louis heard the news, he was so angry that he couldn't even drink Coke.

He returned to the office and yelled at Ellis in front of Baylor for 20 minutes.

"Calm down, he's in the hospital now. It's useless for you to scold him. You'd better hope he gets better. After all, Dell is our starting player." Baylor comforted.

"Starting? Huh, when he comes back, he may not know who will start!" Louis sneered.

This summer, Miller has been staying with Wilson. They were college teammates back then and won the national championship together for UCLA. Now they are playing on the same team. This is a rare relationship.

For players born in UCLA, the Knicks are a rare good place because they play in the N.UCLA system that has the same roots as the Bruins.

Miller knows that the second position under Louis needs to be able to run tactics and hit long-range shots. This is his specialty. This summer, he and Wilson spent every day in special training.

Louis remembered that Miller was a rookie with high immediate ability. If he could really integrate into the system in his rookie season, he would definitely remove Ellis from the starting lineup.

If he gets emotional over this, the only option is to trade him.

Anyway, he has already established himself as the league's top shooter in the past few seasons, so he doesn't have to worry about being traded.

Louis has had enough of him.

In addition to Ellis, Song Tao was also unable to return to the team on time.

The Bangkok Asian Championships will be played from November 14th to 27th. Not only will he not be able to return to the team on time, he will also miss the first month of the regular season.

Regarding this matter, Louis has informed him that he can rest assured that he can play for the national team and come back after finishing the matter.

When Song Tao was able to successfully land in the NBA, Louis took care of his domestic relations. The most important point was that he promised that as long as he was recruited by the national team and provincial team (National Games), the Knicks would not have any additional influence.

Therefore, instead of exerting additional influence, Louis will also provide additional help to the national basketball team.

So after the start of the new season, the Knicks will only have 13 people on their roster.

This is not a big problem, 13 people are enough.

Under normal circumstances, Louis will play ten-man rotation in a game. If there is garbage time, he will let everyone go up and play. If he encounters a strong team, he will rotate about 10-11 people.

Originally it was not that eventful, but Ellis' incident brought back Louis' bad memories from last season.

Louis is deeply responsible for his love for Ellis. Without these potential problems, his starting lineup is as solid as a rock and no one can shake it.

Now, as long as Miller plays well, Louis will definitely beat him.

For a while after that, the Knicks were basically fine.

The news is all from other places, and the only news about the Knicks is Ellis' recovery situation.

The New York media also commented extremely fiercely on this matter.

The Knicks could have been better last season, but it was precisely because of Ellis's frequent absences and poor form that the team's chemistry was often poor.

The new season was about to start, and he had another car accident, and the injury would last until December.

The trouble he caused off the field was enough for the media to confiscate his on-field performance.

Louis didn't even have the intention to say a few nice words to him. When he mentioned him, he basically had an indifferent attitude and tone.

The only thing he emphasized was that the Knicks would not be disrupted by anyone's absence.

Starting from mid-August, Louis would go to the Blue Palace basically every day, but he had nothing to do. He took back the tactical design drawings submitted by Zhao Yuanzheng to study and think about how the N.UCLA system could be improved.

Most of the time, his job is to be a good dad.

Lu Wuxia has transformed from a cute baby into a little devil. Louis wants to strangle her to death at least three times a day.

But Lu Wuyan still has more than a year of cuteness, so during this time, all his love is given to his daughter.

This is obviously a preference for girls over boys. Anyone who understands this understands. When will the little boy stand up?
