Chapter two hundred and seventy-first here comes the digger
In the past few days, in addition to preparing his speech at the championship celebration, Louis is openly recruiting professional agents.
Outsiders will think he's just filling a hole in his personal team, but insiders can pick up on important information from his actions.
Louie's contract is public, and everyone in the circle knows he can opt out of the contract this summer.
But he won't necessarily jump out because the Celtics are under a lot of pressure to re-sign this summer.
Bird is a contract year, although he made it clear that he will stay in Boston, but if the Celtics want to keep him, it is bound to offer the top three salary in the league.
After completing the second MVP+FMVP season in his career, Bird can already be regarded as the first player in the league.
Retaining him is not only the desire of New England, but also the goal that the Celtics must accomplish.
Followed by the extension of Laimbeer, Sampson, Maxwell, Henderson and others.
Laimbeer has played for four seasons on a child labor contract, and now he has two championships in his hands. He is also qualified as an All-Star, and he will definitely be given a sub-max salary.
Sampson defeated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with an average of 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4.4 blocks per game.
The series gave Sampson a reputation as the league's No. 1 center.
Whether it is the first center or the top five players in the league, they are all worthy of a salary of the same level as Bird.
Maxwell's contract, signed in the early '80s, was a big deal at the time, and now he's hungry for a bigger one.
Henderson, as Thomas's backup, also made his mark.
So many people need to renew their contracts, and most of them are big contracts. If Louis jumps out of the contract and other clubs raise prices, the Celtics may not be able to afford it.
Many clubs believe that Luigi will not jump out of the contract.
Because the Celtics are a very suitable team for rookie coaches to brush their resumes.
With an unprecedented record in his debut season, plus a championship and Coach of the Year titles, if he's smart, he should wait until the end of the contract before asking the market.
However, Louie's decision to publicly hire an agent makes it clear that he wants to test his worth in the free market.
He has a bad reputation outside, but no team will go to the coach based on the reputation.
Pat Riley thinks he's the Celtics' anchor;
Jack Ramsay calls him the 'Silmarillion' of young coaches;
Those coaches who opposed him were ravaged over and over again by him with the Celtics.
Even if he doesn't count his coaching ability, his scouting ability is top-notch.
On June 15th, four days before the start of the draft, a lobbyist from New York came to the door.
The man was Billy McClellan, who negotiated with Louie on behalf of the New York Knicks.
It's an old tradition for the Knicks to dig Boston's corner, and Auerbach was almost poached by them with the largest management contract in history.
Louie's connections in New York are okay. Knicks executive Sonny Webblin is his friend, and general manager Dave Debusschere has a few ties with him.
It's just that he and the local media are at odds with each other.
With Bernard King, the core of the team, there is still a big beam.
Knowing that there is such a big problem, they still want to poach people. It can only be said that the Knicks have no doubts about Louie's ability.
Before Louis' agent was chosen, the olive branch was thrown over.
Louie entertained McClellan seriously and took over the contract.
This is a five-year contract, and the amount is too high for Louie to expect.
2.2 million in 5 years
If Louie signs this contract, he'll probably be the most expensive coach in the league.
"You guys should know that I haven't announced that I will jump out of the existing contract, although I can do it, but I haven't done it yet." Louie put down the contract and said with a smile, "In other words, you are recruiting illegally, if I Report to the league and guess how many draft picks you'll get kicked out?"
The Knicks are at a time of internal and external trouble, and Weblin doesn't want to continue running the team, so the team's owner, the owner of the Madison Gardens, the top management of Gulf and Western Industries Inc., is picking a real expert to Figure revives professional basketball in New York.
Webblin seemed to expect Louie to be out of his contract, so he recommended him to the top.
That's why McClellan came to visit.
Hearing Louie's words, McClellan laughed: "You and Mr. Weblin are good friends, so I don't think you would do that."
"You're right, but I'm really not going to talk about my future with someone I don't know well."
Louis said seriously.
McClellan didn't expect that the largest coaching contract in NBA history would not impress the 24-year-old who should have been overly inflated.
"That is, if it's an acquaintance, you might be willing to talk to him about the future?" McClellan's reading comprehension is very good.
"You can say that," Louis said.
He literally put "I don't know you, please come and talk to me" on his face.
Having said that, McClellan knew he wouldn't come up with anything.
His biggest trump card is this contract that shouldn't be turned down.
But Louis easily refused.
The numbers on the contract don't seem to matter to him, he wants more, and those are not for him to decide.
So, Louis wanted to meet someone who was bigger.
He must be able to make a reliable commitment before he can continue the negotiation. If not, he would rather put himself on the free market as an auction item.
After McClellan left, Louis suddenly remembered that he might have done something that would make Versailles more frequent in the future.
New York originally paid me $2.2 million, but I turned it down because I was too low a lobbyist. It's a shame to think about it.
Sounds good, doesn't it? He feels good too.
But the story didn’t end there. Before Louie could tell Li Xuanbing that he had rejected a contract worth $2.2 million, the Knicks called again.
This time, it was the "acquaintance" Louie wanted, Sonny Webblin.
"Since I'm here in person, Coach Lu, as a landlord, should you treat guests to dinner?"
"Sonny, you know what, you were the first American to invite me to dinner. I thought you Americans liked the AA system."
Since Webblin is coming, Louis will definitely give him enough face.
If it weren't for Webblin, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to invest in Oracle.
In investing, even if you know what you can invest in to make money, if no one leads you in, you can only watch the money fly away.
Webblin brought Louis in, so he turned money into money through a little investment, and his worth increased little by little.
That's why he flatly rejected New York's biggest coaching contract in history.
Money is a good thing, of course, but for some people who have been out of touch with their basic economic needs, money is just one of the good things, and there are other things that are more alluring than money.
On June 16, there are still 3 days before the draft conference will be held.
Louie has a restaurant in Boston.
Webblin asked him to treat him, but he didn't say where.
Boston is only a place like this, and it is difficult to eat delicious food. Therefore, Louis simply found a Chinese restaurant that he often came to.
When Webblin learned that Louis had set the negotiation venue in the Chinese restaurant, he ridiculed him a lot.
"Let me put it this way, you're doing it like you're putting a $100,000 protagonist in a $10 million movie."
What is this? China's future will be dominated by the weirdness of the protagonist with a salary of 160 million in a TV series with a budget of 50 million.
With their business ability and no audience, they can only keep making movies/TV dramas of low quality. Why?
Louis waited for a few minutes, and Weblin arrived as promised.
But he didn't come alone, he had a companion.
His companions are burly and definitely athletes when they were young. They didn't gain weight after retiring and looked very capable.
With white hair, he looked especially like the mental villain who provoked the protagonist in the opening ten minutes of an Italian gangster film and was then killed.
"Dave, are you here too?"
Dave Debusschere, the Knicks legend and current general manager, came along with team chairman Webblin to symbolize the importance the Knicks entire basketball department places on recruiting Louie.
During this time period, they should be anxious about trying out rookies, worrying about the operation of the offseason, and worrying about how to adjust the contradiction between Sleep Floyd and Bernard King.
Now they are all out to Boston to lobby Louis.
Debusschere said calmly: "Sonny didn't pull me here, he thought it would better show our sincerity."
"Indeed, I have seen your sincerity." Louis said, "Please take a seat."
They sat down, the two apparently had not eaten Chinese food very much and didn't want to be too tender, so ordered General Tso's chicken like a veteran.
In fact, people who like to eat Chinese food will hardly order General Tso's chicken, a dish that Chinese people don't know at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Louie can't tell the truth, and ordered a fried noodles and a large portion of dumplings with a smile.
It's definitely a strange thing, not to mention Webling's eight-figure worth, Louis and Debusschere, who are both multi-millionaires, gathered to talk about cheap lunches in a Chinese restaurant million contracts.
"Louis, talk about your request." Webblin smiled, "You can rest assured that as long as it is related to basketball, we will never have any questions."
"This is not in a hurry."
Louie opened a bottle of Coke.
"Would you like a drink?"
"No, if you drink too much of this thing, you won't be able to give birth to a child."
Louie was too lazy to say that he was already a father-to-be.
He filled himself with a glass and looked at the two most powerful men in the Knicks basketball operations department: "I want to ask you two, why should I jump from the promising Celtics and join the Knicks?"
