"Damn! What's going on?"
The Blazers' draft war room exploded as soon as the results came out, with Stu Inman and Jack Ramsey in a frenzy, calling front-line staff to find out what they were doing.
The two who made the choice on behalf of the Blazers said timidly: "It's what Mr. Weinberg meant."
Everyone suddenly thought that Weinberg said that he wanted to communicate with the staff in front. Although it was very strange, he did not expect that the boss actually went beyond the management to advocate the draft in person?
This is simply an omen of death!
Weinberg is a real estate businessman, what does he know about basketball?
"Must call Mr. Weinberg and ask!" Ramsay was furious that his plans had been ruined, leaving him unable to see where the road lay ahead.
Stu Inman picked up the phone and called his boss.
Employee questioning boss's decision?
That's a kill in most industries, but it's not impossible in professional sports, where Weinberg is a low-key businessman.
"Is something wrong, Stu?"
Weinberg answered the phone and asked in a flat tone.
"Mr. Weinberg, there's something going on in the draft... We didn't get the guy we planned."
"Oh yes, I'm sorry."
"The staff at the front temporarily changed our options and they said ... that's what you meant."
There was a ten-second silence on the other side of the phone.
"Is there a problem?" Weinberg asked nonchalantly.
Inman doesn't know what will happen next: "We have the most professional management team, you trust us and we work hard, but now, what you have done has disrupted the team's plan, we have not been able to get us The most needed player."
"Most needed player, you mean Sam Bowie? That young man who had a seven-hour medical during a workout?"
"Yes, it is."
"You said we needed him, did you really? Is that true?" Weinberg's words made Inman uneasy, like a sudden change of person.
Weinberg's voice became more and more indifferent: "I looked at our roster and found that we don't need the inside, we have a great inside combination, Mychal averaged 16 points and 9 rebounds per game last season. n Cooper is averaging 10 points and 6 rebounds in 23 minutes. What we need is not a young man with an uncertain future, we need a solid rebounder, you're telling me that Sam Bowie will improve Our basketball?"
"But Michael Jordan definitely couldn't improve our rebounding..."
"He can change the whole team!" Weinberg's voice became stern, "Listen, I'd rather give the future of the team to the nationally recognized once-in-a-decade guard than to a trying guard. A seven-hour medical examination was done during training, 'tenacious', 'can bear all pain', someone who dares to fight against fate! Especially when there are other options, why should we take risks instead of Go choose someone who is destined to fight, and you tell me why?"
Now, Inman can be sure that Weinberg has definitely consulted some professionals for advice.
These words should not be uttered by a real estate businessman.
Weinberg seemed to have been brainwashed, completely distrusting the team's management, and only believing some words that he did not know who instilled in him. His modesty and low-keyness are all gone, like a bossy boss.
"I tell you, either you accept my choice, or you can change your boss!"
If someone with a good temper gets angry, the consequences are hard to predict.
Weinberg is too humble and low-key, so management does not take his opinion seriously. If it is replaced by a strong boss, it is bound to plant fear in everyone's heart. Because people in management are not afraid of Weinberg, they are not afraid of serious consequences, which may be the reason why they insist on going the wrong way to death.
But now, things have changed.
Louis in front of the TV bit off the pasta in his mouth.
He felt like he was about to have a nosebleed, witnessing with his own eyes that familiar history was torn to shreds by him, and he ran to a future that was no longer certain.
This feels so unusual.
Jordan going to the Blazers will affect the pattern of the NBA in the next 15 years.
He had to consider how strong the Jordan-Drexler pair would be.
Technically, Drexler is a stronger, more all-around offensive wing, but not as good as Pippen's all-around defensive end.
Jordan is still Jordan.
The 1984 Trail Blazers were far better than the 1984 Bulls, they made the playoffs last season, they had a lot of good players, they just lacked a real superstar, thanks to the Pacers' second-to-last record in the league. The No. 2 draw was handed to them.
Louie breathed a sigh of relief. He returned Weinberg's favor and fixed the biggest mistake in Blazers history.
Whether you're watching this in 2024 or watching it in 1984, the Blazers' decision to pick Bowie over Jordan is an utterly stupid decision.
A lot of historical revisionists always try to wash the ground for the Trail Blazers with "people at the time didn't know how good Jordan would be", is this true? Jordan used a lore to help North Carolina win the championship in his rookie season. Since then, he has become famous in the United States, and his sophomore year has basically become the best college student in the United States. In his junior year, elite players such as Ewing, Olajuwon, Tisdale, etc. have been elected as the best in the United States. Playing terrifying dominance, the top three college coaches in history, Bob Knight, begged his good friend Inman to choose Jordan, even if he let him play center. He didn't play a game in the NBA, and the hook built a whole shoe production line for him. In reality, the moment the Blazers selected Bowie, the boos resounded throughout the audience than the Rockets selected Olajuwon as the No. 1 pick. The cheers are louder ⑴.
The Blazers are definitely the team that has been hurt the most by the iron rule of "selecting the inside" in history. They missed an obvious superstar, not just Jordan, any outside player in history can't be stopped in this draft. They pick insiders, and the only one who can stop them is Weinberg, the boss.
Now, the bug was fixed, and Louie sat there listening to the two narrators blow Jordan's **** like crazy.
Albert said excitedly: "This guy is not to be missed!"
Kidney deficiency commentator Kaneseka looked at Jordan's highlights as if he had eaten a bullwhip: "He can hit the key ball, is the focus of attention in the crowd, and can maintain amazing body control in the air. He is very amazing. The creator of , very much like Dr. J, but not that big, but definitely at that level. I bet Michael's going to be a very, very great player. He's going to be a national athlete."
Louie was happy with the result, and heartily felt that Stu Inman and all the Blazers fans had to kowtow to him.
They "difficulty" "missed" "seven hours of physical examination", "recovered strongly after two years of recuperation", "great and able to bear all pain", "dare to fight against fate" Sam Bowie, was A boss who suddenly started micro-manipulation forcibly selected the future star of "The Unmissable Guy", "Dr. J 2.0" and "National Player".
The gap between these two choices is probably the laughing stock, being scored into the NBA's shame column, writing the saddest page in the Blazers' tragic draft history, and mastering the future of the NBA, the team's appreciation of hundreds of millions of dollars, and Take 2-10 championships and have the greatest player in NBA history. that is all.
The Blazers selected Jordan, which completely changed the choice after that.
The Bulls need a guy who can hit the ball, and they're very pragmatic and pick only the best.
If you can't get Jordan, choose Barkley.
Jordan was accidentally "cut off", and Barkley's draft went up three places.
Next, Jordan's teammate Sam Perkins, a 1984 All-American, went to the Mavericks.
The 76ers selected Sam Bowie. In this life, his name is no longer associated with Jordan. Maybe future fans will forget him, but at least he doesn't have to appear in Jordan's story like a joke with the Blazers.
He's so graceful and decent in interviews that Louie can't help but feel sorry for him, and he's still a decent center when healthy, even though it's only 54 percent of his career.
Over the course of the draft, a trade occurred that didn't get anyone's attention.
The New York Knicks traded Slip Floyd to the Philadelphia 76ers for their 10th overall pick and their 1987 first-round pick.
This is a chain deal. The Knicks got the tenth overall pick in the first round and then made a deal with the Dallas Mavericks.
They made a second trade with the Dallas Mavericks, swapping their first-round picks. The Knicks were the 10th pick in the first round and were obviously more valuable, so the Mavericks needed an extra 1986 second-round pick.
Then, the Knicks used the Mavericks' 15th pick in the first round to select the little-known John Stockton.
The Knicks trade didn't make any splash in the market, but it exploded the Utah Jazz's draft war room.
"Why did Dallas pick John? They didn't try him out at all!"
Frank Ryden hugged his head and yelled ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ as far away as Debusschere in New York sitting next to Weblin when they got a call from the Mavs and were told the Jazz wanted Stockton The right to sign the contract, the mood is urgent.
"No, John is going to be a Knicks guy and he's going to wear our jersey."
Debusschere refused any trades, and then said to Webblin: "Although I don't know the young man from Gonzaga, LittleLu must have his purpose in doing this, and there may be something special about that young man. The place."
"So, go ahead and do what he says." Webblin viewed the Knicks' performance on draft day as a test for them by Louie.
If they pass the test, Louie will choose the Knicks.
Since they were eager for that young man to change professional basketball in New York, they had to do his bidding.
Next, the Knicks used their third-round pick to select an even lesser-known international player, Oscar Schmidt.
They were dubbed "silent machines for manic draft days" by the media.
Every time the Knicks pick someone, there's a moment of silence.
Everyone is weird.
"Who did they choose?"
⑴ Just typing these words makes me angry. What **** me off even more was that Stuy Inman washed himself years later: "Even on that team, he was hidden." Jordan and Barkley dominated the draft team, and Inman was there Watching Jordan for ten days and saying Jordan was hidden by Knight's system? What the hell!
