On June 24, four days before this year's draft, Jerry West walked into Louie's office.

"nailed it."

West put the fax in his hand on Louie's desk.

"Oh, talk about it."

West said the content of the transaction: "We sent Steve Kerr and this year's second-round pick plus 300,000 cash to Utah in exchange for their 20th pick in the first round of this year and Tom Qian. Two years of Perth's use rights."

Louie asked without a smile, "Can Chambers still be used?"

West also knows this very well: "He averaged 11 points per game in Utah last season. He is a playable backup. The purpose of Utah's trade is to save money."

Louie continued, "How much money did we save Utah?"

"Chambers has two years and $8 million remaining on his contract."

Louis breathed a sigh of relief, West's efficiency and stability were not unexpected.

Chambers' contract is not difficult to deal with, and West's ability to connect with Utah must have used a lot of relationships that Louis could not think of.

"Good job Jerry, I'm sure you'll be the General Manager of the Year next year."

Louis inadvertently forgot that West was no longer the general manager.

West couldn't help but say: "Mickey is the general manager."

"Isn't he the deputy general manager?"

"He's the only person in the building with a general manager in his title."

Sometimes, Louie wanted to tease West.

But he was too serious, and Louis was afraid that the other party would take his jokes seriously, so he could only communicate in a relaxed tone as much as possible.

"Actually, you came just in time." Louis picked up the remote control and pressed it a few times.

The TV screen in the office began to play a game that West had not seen.

Through the introduction of the commentary, West learned that it was this year's McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game.

"You don't seem to have watched the game?" Louis asked unexpectedly.

West said indifferently: "The players in this game won't be in the league for at least three years, and it's too early to focus on them."

"Jerry, times have changed." Louie said eloquently. "None of the five hottest players in this year's draft is a senior. In fact, there is even a high school student among the five."

Because the Lakers don't have a high pick this year, West doesn't pay attention to those hot rookies.

But Garnett is rare, making the cover of Sports Illustrated before entering college.

"You mean the kid in Chicago?" West asked.

"That's right." Louie laughed. "Jack McCallum wrote an article for him and published it in the Illustrated. By the way, he was still on the cover of that issue."

There was finally a trace of a smile on the serious West's face: "That's not a good sign."

"Why do you say that?"

Next, the LOGO man will show the rare and strange President Lu what it means to be knowledgeable.

"Before him, there were three other high school basketball stars who landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated," West recounted those people, "Rick Mount in 1966.

Mount

SG), Tom McMillan in 1970

McMillen

PF/C), Mike Peterson in 1971

Peterson, do you think any of them were as successful as we know them today? "

Louie was stunned for a few seconds, "I know Tom McMillan, he is a conscientious insider, I really don't know the other two."

"So, Sports Illustrated, like writers who like to create gimmicks in their articles, will only produce bubbles." West was almost convincing Louie, "It's not worth your attention."

If Louie hadn't come from the future, he would have been speechless.

"Jerry, I don't believe the Illustrated article either. We should judge with our own eyes."

When Louis' words came to this point, West could only stay and accompany him to watch the high school star game.

This game is full of stars shining everywhere, in addition to Garnett, there are future NBA stars such as Marbury, Pierce, Carter, Jamison, Raheem and so on.

West was mostly distracted by the dazzling talented teenagers on the court.

"This Vince Carter...seems more of a trapeze than Michael."

"Paul Pierce is going to be a great offensive player even in the NBA."

"Stephen Marbury..."

However, the most dazzling, still Garnett.

With 18 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, he led the Western Conference stars to win and was elected MVP.

Looking at the way he plays, even West thinks what "Evolved Danny Manning" says is true.

"It's worth picking him with the first pick." West said regretfully, "It's a pity we don't have a chance."

Louis smiled and asked, "Who said that?"

West stared at Louie without saying a word.

He finally understood what Louis meant by reconstruction.

"What are we going to do?"

West believes in his own vision, but if even Louie is optimistic about Garnett, there is absolutely no reason to miss this child.

"Do you still think Scottie should be part of the team's future?" Louie asked jokingly.

West suddenly felt too much like his decision to trade Wilkins for the rights to David Robinson.

Moreover, the plan that year was provided to him by Louis.

West's relentless tone made Louie burst into laughter: "I'm ready to say goodbye to Scotty."

What is a mindless comedy?

This is heartless comedy!

West definitely didn't want to make Louie laugh, but he made a laugh that 90% of movies that focus on unintentional comedy couldn't.

Just when Louie was expecting Angie to surprise him, another old friend called.

"Rudy, I regret the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals."

The caller was Tomjanovich.

Louie believes that at this sensitive time, Tomjanovich was not calling to catch up.

Tomjanovich took ten minutes to warm up, and then suddenly asked: "As far as I know, Scottie Pippen is not for sale by the Lakers?"

Louis smiled lightly: "Rudy, let's talk straight, we've been friends for so many years, do we need to be roundabout?"

"Then I said it?"

"Go ahead."

"Can Grant Hill and Reggie Williams get Scotty?"

It appears New York has no intention of waiting for Hill's talent to materialize.

Louis' thoughts turned sharply, and he soon knew how to talk.

Got Hill? It's a good idea, but Hill is a player who needs time to develop, and he really doesn't want to wait for this good gentleman to become a talent.

It's not that he doesn't have the time, but he doesn't have the experience to develop this type of player.

When Wilson entered the league, his skills were already very mature. He only needed to accumulate game experience and get rid of some bad habits, while Hill needed the kind of medical miracle that Mr. Fukada had to rehabilitate.

"I'm not interested in this offer."

Louie dismissed Tomjanovich flatly.

"There is nothing for sale in New York except Patrick, Sean, Reggie."

"I don't like anyone else in New York except Sean."

"You don't want either, Patrick?"

"Do you think Benj wants him to come to Los Angeles?"

"That's true..."

"So, are you willing to play Sean?"

"Looks like we can't get along, Sean is in a way more untradeable than Patrick."

As for that kid's virtuous behavior, if Hill didn't take the blame for him, he would have to be scolded by the family tree, and the Knicks would still be a treasure?

"but..."

Louie's "but" makes Tomjanovich want to be rough.

"But what?"

"You know we plan to rebuild, and although you can't get Sean out, it's not the only way to get Scotty." Louie cast the bait out, "If you can get the top three picks this year, maybe we still have Gotta talk."

Louie hung up.

This time there are two hooked.

It's not that Louie is unkind, it's just that the Grizzlies have limited resources.

Counting on Ainge to turn his sixth overall pick into the top three is no small feat.

The Knicks have more trade resources, and in theory, there are no untradeable picks if they want.

Hill's rookie season has been pitted, but his talent is still there, and his potential has a chance to be realized, but the Knicks can't wait.

Trials for each team are getting more and more news.

The Rockets were the easiest, having the No. 1 pick after all.

The Spurs are in a difficult situation. The No. 2 pick is very good, but the attributes of the currently recognized No. 2 pick Jerry Stackhouse conflict with Jamal Mashburn. The selection is incompatible, and it is a pity not to.

The Celtics are also struggling. Kevin Garnett is a recognized top-three pick, but they don't want to entrust the team's future to a high school student who hasn't been tested in college.

The Lakers are also trying out the rookies in the middle and late stages of the first round~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although Louis already knows who to choose, he has to pretend.

Now that the news has been released, the Lakers' asking price for Pippen is an arbitrary pick in the top three picks. Although the Grizzlies and the Knicks are obviously fighting, as long as the news spreads, interested players There will be more and more teams.

The Portland Trail Blazers, who have already lost their eyes, are also exploring all possible trade plans.

YYSY, Fukada sauce still has the foundation.
