The Rest, Only Noise

Vol 2 Chapter 1298: Again later

Latest URL:

Bill Russell, 63, walked past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 50, at the award ceremony for the NBA's 50 greatest stars, saying, "Hello, kid."

Strangely, no one, including Kareem himself, felt it was wrong for Russell to call a 50-year-old man "kid."

After that, the celebration officially began.

The real attraction of the celebration is long overdue.

Now it's just to give awards to these superstars. For them, this step is the most important, but the audience is mainly concerned about who gets in and who doesn't.

In a joyful atmosphere, the celebration of NBA 50 superstars came to an end.

After returning to Los Angeles, the players and assistant coaches (birds, hooks) can take another day off, but Louie needs to return to work as soon as possible.

With 12 hours to go before the trade deadline, this is the Lakers' last chance to strengthen before the playoffs begin.

If the Lakers' goal this year is a championship, there are basically only four imaginary opponents.

Blazers, Knicks, Celtics, Heat.

These four teams have a superstar inside.

Among them, the Blazers and Heat are inside single-core, while the Knicks and Celtics are inside dual-core.

The Lakers also have two inside cores, but how much can Garnett play when he's too young to weigh down his shoulders?

Or should the Lakers put half of the burden on the 21-year-old?

In order to guarantee the bottom line inside, the Lakers still need signings.

Right now, the inside of each team is a high-quality chip, and the Lakers can only give veteran James Worthy.

Under normal circumstances, the Lakers have no room to operate.

But in Vancouver, Canada, outside the United States, NBA 50 superstar Dennis Rodman is very unhappy with his situation.

Old teammate Angie couldn't hold him down anymore.

Rodman's attitude is clear, either trade him or indulge him.

An Ji did not expect that this bird man would start to be confused as soon as he entered the 50th National Congress, but there was nothing he could do about it.

A normal Rodman is a huge benefit to the team. The problem is that this person is not normal.

Rodman is not only to be traded, but also designated next home - he wants to play for Louie.

Angie has no illusions about Rodman.

If the transaction object is Louis, then there is actually still to be discussed.

So, as soon as the All-Star weekend was over, Ainge contacted Louie and made Rodman's request to the Lakers crystal clear.

With Rodman's salary, the Lakers could not have exchanged him.

But Rodman's contract has a lot of qualifications, and only when those conditions are met can he receive a full salary.

Due to Rodman's personal reasons, his contract with an annual salary of $6 million is now only less than $3 million. If the Lakers can send James Worthy and one of the rookies, the contract can be matched.

Another rookie that Louie has prepared for the deal is Malik Rose.

If Rodman were to come, the Lakers' four would become more crowded, leaving little room for Rose.

But the question is, is it really going to get Rodman over?

Louie's worries puzzled Jim Bass.

In Bass's opinion, Rodman is the winner of eight championships. Can Worthy and Rogers be exchanged for the sale of the 50 greatest stars in NBA history? Do you need to hesitate?

"Sir, are you worried about Dennis getting out of control?" Little Bass asked.

"It's not a worry," Louie said pessimistically, "but I know very well that he's going to get out of control."

Buss said: "The big deal is to suspend him. Anyway, we just exchanged him with two players who are not usually needed. If he is not honest, we will suspend him from the team. If he keeps repeating. And three violations will remove him from the Lakers.”

Easy for this kid to say, but asking Louie to do it

It's not that easy, because he and Rodman are so involved, there's a lot of personal emotion in it.

Louie believes that as long as the playoffs are reached, Rodman will correct his attitude.

But he was worried that Rodman's unprofessionalism would ruin the atmosphere on the team.

In this matter, Louis did not make up his mind alone.

He called Wilson to ask for his opinion on the matter.

"Coach, I'm really not sure if this is a good idea," Wilson said. "I believe Dennis can help, but I also believe Dennis will bring some bad habits over."

"So what is your opinion?"

"The schedule has gone through 3/5, I think ... I can manage him for the rest of the schedule, and Dennis will be a great help for us once we get to the playoffs."

Wilson made his point.

Then, Louie called Barkley.

Barkley didn't have a good impression of Rodman. When the Blazers and the Knicks fought, it was Rodman who stinks the most.

But Barkley also felt that Rodman could help the team.

Moreover, when it comes to bringing bad newcomers, he himself is a negative example.

"I don't think I've got any young guys out of my league?" Barkley said. "Coach, you have to trust those guys, and I really trust Dennis to play well for the rest of the season."

The weirdest part of the whole thing is that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Louie, who is closest to Rodman, is the one who doesn't trust Rodman the least.

He seemed to need to use these calls to increase his determination to make deals.

Finally, Louie called Rodman.

Rodman answered the moment it rang, and it looked like he was waiting for the call as well.

"Coach, am I going to Los Angeles?"

Louie said hello casually, but Rodman didn't even bother to say hello, and pointed to the key.

"Do you think I want you to come?" Louie asked. "Do you think I need a troublemaker who doesn't come to training on time, has a quirky temper, and likes to fight the referees?"

"Coach, I'm not going to promise you that I'll be as professional as Benj, but I promise I'll do everything I can to help you..."

"No, Dennis, all I need is your reassurance."

Louie said heavily: "I want you to promise me that you will change your mind. If you don't come to practice on time, I will suspend you. If you cause a scandal to discredit the team, I will kick you out of the Lakers. If you If your actions have any negative impact on the young people in our team, I will terminate your contract without mercy."

Rodman agreed with Louie's every condition, and said he would have no complaints if he did get to that point.

This matter is settled.

Later, Louis called Angie back.

When Angie learned that Louis had agreed to take Rodman, a sense of relief could not help but feel in his heart.

Then, he asked, "By the way, coach, who do you want with a player that came with the Dennis deal?"

"Bring me a 2 or 3 shooter if you can."
