The rest is just noise

"We selected the best player in this draft class with the 14th pick in the first round!"

In Zhao Yuanzheng's eyes, Sean Kemp is a definite choice.

Because he believes that under Louis, Kemp's future is limitless.

Louis isn't that excited, but the Knicks' core talent is indeed overflowing now.

For him, there are only two things left in the draft.

One is to use late draft picks to strengthen the lineup as much as possible, and the other is to disgust Jerry Krause.

The Bulls' highest draft pick this year is the 17th overall pick in the first round.

Louis found one of Krause's main targets, B.J. Armstrong PG of Edwards University, from the draft board.

Louis knew Armstrong was one of the gems of this draft class.

In the main timeline that fans are more familiar with, he was selected as an All-Star along with Horace Grant when Jordan was playing baseball.

In the eyes of some people, this has even become another black spot for Jordan, because they were not All-Stars when they were with Jordan.

No matter what Louis' future holds now, the Knicks don't need Armstrong, and he won't destroy the team's lineup just to disgust Krause.

When it comes to the draft, if he wants to disgust Krause, there are many ways.

Louie picked up the phone and started calling teams that owned the three picks before the 17th pick.

They are the Nuggets, Bucks, and 76ers.

Louis appeared to be interested in their draft pick, but he actually wanted to hint to them that Armstrong was a good choice.

Moreover, in addition to these three teams, Louis also spread the news to other teams.

In the few minutes that the Nuggets, who hold the 15th pick in the first round, were thinking about it, the phones of various teams rang frequently.

The Nuggets did not believe in Louis, but several teams were willing to believe in Louis' vision and were ready to intercept and draw.

Just when Louis thought that Armstrong would most likely be won by the 76ers or Bucks, Lewis Shafir took action.

Shafir sent Grant Long and this year's second-round pick to Denver in exchange for the 15th pick in the first round, and used that pick to select B.J. Armstrong.

The moment his favorite candidate was cut off, Jerry Krause stared at the phone and wanted to smash it.

His assistant quickly came over to protect the phone: "Jerry, you can't smash it! The draft isn't over yet, and we don't have a backup phone!"

"Little is too much!" Klaus roared.

What made Klaus even more angry was that Louis knew all about his plan. If there wasn't a traitor, how could the Knicks know exactly who they wanted to choose?

With this thought, Klaus was sure that there was a spy within them.

"Check! Check hard! I want to know who in the scouting department has contact with them, don't let anyone go!"

Louis was very satisfied after screwing up the Bulls' draft plan.

As for the other people in Krause's plan, Louis is not going to stand in the way, because it seems that Armstrong is the Bulls' only gain in this draft. As long as he is not selected by the Bulls, his plan will be completed.

Louis called Shafir by the way.

"Lewis, what's going on with that deal?"

It's not that he didn't want to recommend Armstrong to the Heat.

After all, his plan now is to turn the Heat into a strong team that can occupy a place in the Eastern Conference, so the rationality of their lineup must be considered.

Although Armstrong is good, his immediate combat ability is definitely not as good as Brian Shaw's, not to mention they also have Cheeks at his peak. If they choose Armstrong and don't have the resources to train him, it would be better not to choose him at all.

"Coach Lu, you want B.J so much, I think he must be a talent." Shafir asked nervously, "You won't be unhappy if I do this, right?"

Louis smiled helplessly.

This transaction really reeks of being unwise and following the trend.

"I don't blame you, but why did you hand Grant Long over?"

"Denver asked for it."

"You can bargain with them!"

"The situation is urgent. If I don't make a decision, they will choose someone."

Louis was sure that Denver played a game of extreme pressure on Shafir, but it was really not surprising that Shafir took a lot of damage and got what they wanted.

"Although you have Hank Gathers, he has a heart problem and must strictly control his playing time. If there is not a strong substitute at the fourth position, there will be big problems in the rotation."

“I really couldn’t care less at the time.”

Louis was speechless to him. Since the transaction had already taken place, there was no point in worrying about it.

Valley/span> After that, the Knicks used the 26th pick in the first round to select the physical man Doug West (Doug WestSG), and then used the 1st pick in the second round from the Heat to win the small forward and power forward.

Chuky Brown, the wild wing who can play as a forward.

At this point, the Knicks draft operations are all completed.

Louis was originally going to suggest that Shafir take down Clifford Robinson (PF/C/SF), who fell to the second round. Unexpectedly, the Blazers had a keen sense of smell and launched a trade to obtain a high-ranking second-round pick.

In addition to Kemp, one of the biggest leftovers in this draft is in the pocket.

If Louis knew Robinson, he might give up on Kemp.

The only thing he knew about Robinson was Jordan's famous shrug in 1992.

When Jordan set a record for half-time three-point shooting percentage in the Finals with a hot touch, he shrugged, "I can't control myself." At that moment, Robinson appeared in the camera.

That's why Louis remembers Robinson.

He only knew that Robinson was an important role player on a finals-level team, but he didn't know that he was a decathlete wing spider.

In terms of style, he is like Rasheed Wallace before Rasheed Wallace.

The Trail Blazers' acquisition of this guy is an added bonus. They already have the league's top wing talent, depth, and strength, and they become even stronger.

But under Rick Pitino's "cull" system concept, can this team exert its full strength?

Louis is not optimistic at all. You must know that starting next season, the Lakers will welcome a center in team history, and that is David Robinson, who has officially made his debut after completing his service.

The Trail Blazers finally got rid of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and now the Lakers directly added a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Just thinking about Louis makes me worried about Jordan. He won't be stuck in the West by the Lakers again, right?

Moreover, in addition to Robinson, the Lakers also took Vlade Divac in the draft, which is something Louis overlooked.

He forgot that Divac was still in this draft.

In addition to him, Zhao Yuanzheng and the scouting department under R.C. Buford will not pay attention to overseas players.

Just thinking about the twin towers of Robinson + Divac makes the Blazers feel like they are suffocating.

Afterwards, the Knicks sold their second-round pick, No. 27, to the Heat for $200,000.

Since this was the last draw, Louis didn't have much to choose from, so he let Shaffir do what he wanted.

As a result, Shafir was sold to the Orlando Magic for $210,000.

This made Louis so angry that he called again: "What do you mean, Lewis?"

"Coach Lu, to be honest with you, I don't want to buy it. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't do this kind of business."

"So you sold it to Orlando?"

"They wanted it. Besides, Minnesota offered more than Orlando. I didn't sell the pick to them because of your face."

He really couldn't fix it for Louis.

"You didn't think I would thank you, did you?"

"Coach Lu, the weather is really nice today.":.

"goodbye."

Louis hung up, and Belle looked amused.

"Why do you think this guy should be the general manager? The more I think about it, the angrier I get!" Louis suddenly felt that this year's draft was extremely frustrating. Apart from disgusting Klaus, nothing good happened.

Baylor reassured: "Indeed, you really shouldn't interfere in Miami's affairs. Now this person is relying on you."

"In the long run, this is a good thing. At least we can understand the dynamics of Miami. Although the guy is just like you, the general manager is not doing a good job."

"WTF!" Baylor yelled, "Don't get involved with me!"

Louis didn't expect Belle to be allergic to this joke.

But the more anxious Baylor gets, the more he likes to make this joke. What can this old guy do?

"Elgin, just understand what I mean. I just broke the news about Armstrong's trade and didn't notify him, but he acted very quickly and took care of Denver before other teams. Although it was a bit clumsy, but under the circumstances

, if you want to quickly take over Denver, you can only do that."

Louis smiled lightly and said: "This guy is very well-informed."

Baylor looked unhappy and said, "I don't care what he is like. If you compare me with him again, I'm really worried about you!"

"Why are you so anxious? Do you think you are much better than him? I haven't settled the score with you about the expansion draft yet!"

Belle would never have imagined that Louis was so incompetent. It had been several days, and he was still bringing up old scores?

"Didn't I expect this to happen?"
