The Rest, Only Noise

As long as you work in the professional leagues, every season, there are always a few promising teams that self-destruct.

The recovery of the Lakers was an accident, the cheer of the 76ers was an accident, and the wrong decision of the Celtics coaching staff was an accident within an accident.

Fitch missed the championship, but it wasn't time for him to dismiss.

The Celtics signed him to a four-year deal with the last year left. The Celtics are undoubtedly a team full of potential, a team that every coach dreams of, and if he wants to get a contract extension, he has to make a difference next season.

After the Finals, Louie's work at all stages of the season is over.

Compared to last season, now he is like a painter.

He knows exactly what he wants, and the time has not yet come, so he will reserve as much knowledge as possible.

Before the draft, Louie went to New York because he saw a business opportunity.

A businessman named Thom Edwards is going to sell his stake in "Oracle", which is worth $200,000, although only 3%. This is almost all of Louis's savings now.

But wanting to buy the shares in his hand also requires a bit of access, so he contacted the Knicks owner Sonny Weblin.

Webblin was very forthright and took the initiative to introduce Louis.

Later, it was also on Webblin's face that Louis reached a deal with Edwards.

Louie didn't know the "Oracle" company himself, but this company translated as "Oracle". It is this company that reached a consensus with a Martian company from China in 2020 to become its "trusted technology provider".

Although the Mars company was not right, it was undoubtedly the mainland company with the most rapid growth in those years. Oracle Corporation can become the technology provider of that enterprise, and the future development must not be bad.

After Louie bought the shares in Edwards' hands, he discovered that Oracle originally designed a database called Oracle for the CIA.

IT is their main business and data is the focus.

Looking at it this way, maybe in the future he can use this company to obtain some high-level basketball-related data.

Louis had accepted Weblin's favor, and naturally he had to repay it.

Thinking of the sustainable development of Oracle in the future, this kind of favor is very heavy, and Louis can only provide some help in his professional field.

After he went back, he checked the Knicks' draft picks this year, and spent a few days examining this year's rookies.

On the eve of the draft, Louie contacted Weblin again, Craig Hodges, who the Celtics could not use, and the player he focused on this year, Georgetown University's "Sleeper" Sleeper Fever Lloyd recommended Webblin.

"Lu, I know you never misunderstand." Webblin is very clear about Louis's reputation in the scouting circle, "I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Louie said modestly: "All I can do is give you some extra options, and it would be great if I could help."

Louie doesn't feel that he betrayed the team by doing so, because the Celtics really don't need these two people right now. The conflict between Thomas and Archibald has not been resolved, and a few more guards will explode.

Moreover, even if these two joined the Knicks, they could not make a qualitative change in their competitiveness.

Louis only regarded it as a favor, and it wasn't enough.

In mid-June, Auerbach gave Louis another promotion.

Louie moved from senior scout to chief scout, a position left by John Kirillia's departure.

In addition to the chief scout, Louie also serves as an assistant coach, with two positions and two salaries. His monthly income is already second only to Fitch in the coaching staff.

At the same time, Louie also applied to Auerbach for expansion. He can't do everything himself. As the chief scout, can he have few senior scouts or secondary scouts to greet him?

Auerbach bites hard, and only gives him an extension of one senior scout or two junior scouts.

"The video captain is recruiting assistant coaches again. I don't have any **** money to support you!" Auerbach said angrily.

Louie's wrangling failed, and he could only accept this limited expansion.

He doesn't want to recruit secondary scouts, because the salary and treatment are very low, and even if he recruits, most of them are messing around.

Louie put out the recruiting advertisement through a connection with the Boston Post.

There are more people contacting him than expected, and there are many retired players who are idle at home and contact him with college scouts.

Youth is the label of Louis, but it is no longer a factor to despise him.

For a few years, he successfully linked his "young" to "promising".

Among the names he knew or didn't know, Louis chose "acquaintances".

Rudy Tomjanovich, who retired last season and was unhappy in Houston.

Tomjanovich wanted to continue playing for the Rockets after retirement.

He did the same for a year, and after retiring, he ran around as a scout, but the death of the owner, Maloof, made the team's future full of uncertainties. This comes at a sensitive time for Moses Malone to become a restricted free agent when his contract expires.

The Rockets began negotiating with Malone's agent two years ago, and it was about to be done, but Maloof died of illness. On the surface, son George was going to inherit his father's last wish and keep Malone in Houston, but behind his back has been delaying the progress of the contract.

During the season, they suddenly announced the transfer of ownership of the team.

The new owner isn't interested in spending millions to re-sign Malone.

The heartbroken Malone is ready to join the free agency~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the old Rockets, including Tomjanovich, must also seriously consider their future.

Tomjanovich stakes his future on Louie.

The 22-year-old Louie is already the chief scout and assistant coach of the Celtics. His ability to know people is obvious to all, and his coaching ability was also reflected in the 1981 playoffs. In the future, he will be a dragon among people with all-round development. , head coach? General manager? Control a team? Both are possible.

"Rudy, you have to think carefully. We are no better than Houston. No matter what we eat, live or wear, we have to fight with the people above to approve the funds." Louis was really worried that the outsiders would not be able to adapt to the Celtics. 60's style.

Tomjanovich said pragmatically: "Don't worry, as long as I can eat and eat, I will be satisfied."

With such a high level of consciousness, Louis would have no words to refuse him.

"On behalf of Boston, I welcome you to join us." Louie patted Tomjanovich on the shoulder and smiled, "Maybe you will be better than me in the future, and I may have to rely on you to make a living."
