The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1098 The happiness of the permission dog is so simple

In Los Angeles, Louie first had to solve the problem of accommodation.

Louis and his family spent the first few days at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Before coming to Los Angeles, Louie wanted to buy a house in Beverly Hills, and now he finally has the opportunity.

He decided to make the first big non-investment expense of his life.

Bass himself is a real estate agent, and he took the Louis and his wife to see more than a dozen villas for sale.

In the end, Louis followed the preferences of Lorraine and Li Xuanbing and chose Sunset Hills on Westridge Road.

Known as a world-class mansion, this house covers an area of ​​8.29 acres, and the surrounding environment looks like a park, overlooking the beautiful Los Angeles, and has both mountain and sea views.

In Lorraine's words, she enjoyed the isolation.

While only minutes away from Sunset Boulevard, with the highest level of privacy and security, the facilities in the villa make Louis feel like he can never leave here.

Inside there is a swimming pool, state-of-the-art spa, expansive courtyard connecting tennis and basketball courts, and in the 14,000-square-foot main house, the main gallery entry has access to the living room, wood-panelled study, professional movie screening room, dining room and the library on the second floor.

The master suite is even more luxurious, with two bathrooms and a private study (Louis plans to transform it into a New York cubby).

The backside of the villa is also equipped with orchards and vineyards, where the elderly at home can spend a lot of time every day if they wish.

Lorraine thought she might not be able to find a better house, but in fact the price of this house is only mid-range in Beverly Hills.

Li Xuanbing felt like he had come to heaven, and Louis only hoped that she would never know the price of this manor.

Louis bought Sunset Hills for $12 million.

This money is just a trifle to him, and the investment over the years has given him an unimaginable wealth before crossing.

Louis paid all of the money in cash without selling his assets.

Bass was very emotional, and his employees may have more money than him.

Although Louis gave West the power to reinforce, West would call Louis whenever there was news.

After Louie arrived, the first free agent the Lakers signed was Steve Kerr.

West thinks Kerr's shooting will be something Louie will like, and he's also an average point guard.

Louie: ok.

So the Lakers signed Kerr to a three-year, $8 million contract.

A day later, West's call came again.

"Zhao wants oldenpolynicec."

"Okay, but you have to tell me who this is first?"

Louis, of course, knew Polynes, but the man's reputation is not so great these days.

Like the guy the Bucks traded for Nowitzki—what's his name—Polinis's reputation is largely due to the Sonics taking Scottie Pippen's rights to sign in Louie's previous life. replace him.

But the deal that ruined a general manager didn't happen in this world.

Polynes just became a parallel lottery pick with NBA strength and was able to play in the league for many years, but that's about it.

"You don't want him?" West asked.

Louie said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want it. It's okay if I sign a short contract."

"David might need a replacement."

"Is Moses Malone bad?" Louie felt there was a better choice, "or bisondelec/pf?"

West did not succumb to the prestige of Louis's president, and immediately gave his own judgment.

"Moses wants a big contract to retire, and he's locker room poison," West added. "Bison is young, he doesn't have the mentality that a bench player needs, even though they're better players than Alden. But we just need a substitute within a substitute."

If it was Baylor, he would go after Malone or Bison Dele without a word.

West was able to analyze the problem rationally and calmly. Anyway, Louis didn't want those two people, he just asked tentatively.

"Jerry, don't be so nervous. If you want Alden, you can. If this is what Coach Zhao wants, I will support you."

"I won't make a decision until I get your consent."

"I agree, Jerry, on a short contract."

Louis really doesn't have time to manage the team these days. Moving to a new home is only one of them, and the second is to find a school for his children.

At the same time, Wang Zhizhi also followed them to Los Angeles.

At present, Xiao Wang is 16 years old, but he has already made a national reputation in New York and is one of the best players in his class.

In order to get a better workout, Louie also needs to help him find a good high school.

By the time these things are done, it will be the end of August.

Most of the players in the league have found a home, and the remaining players are either marginal, or are still wrangling with too high prices, or veterans who are not interested.

But there is an anomaly. He rejected the high-priced contract renewal offered by the team, and also rejected the price inquiries from other teams, in a state of "do not approach strangers".

The media couldn't help but ask: "Is he going to retire?"

The player then called Louie's house.

"Coach, I want to play in Los Angeles."

The caller was Dale Ellis, who won the first championship of the Knicks dynasty.

His contract with the Hornets expired this summer, but he declined a five-year, $40 million extension offered by the team.

Ellis' reasons for rejecting the Hornets are outrageous among the outrageous.

"Song is gone, this team has lost its championship genes, and I have no interest in playing with a bunch of Luthers."

Hot knowledge, the "Song" in Ellis' mouth is Song Tao, the former Knicks player. He is also the first Asian player to enter the NBA. He has returned to China, but the Chinese fever he led was in the NBA in the 1990s. more and more high.

That year, after being a backup for the Knicks for a few years, Song Tao was traded by Louis to Philadelphia with a few rings, proving that he was a player capable of standing in the league even if he left the relationship with Louis, and then when his contract expired. After joining Charlotte, he played a few years as a starter on a strong team that was severely lacking at the five.

Song Tao is indeed an important member of the Hornets, but it would be too nonsense to say that he has any champion genes.

Ellis offended the Hornets management, players, and fans with one sentence, and ruined the reputation of Shi Yishe he played there.

"Dell, why do you want to come to Los Angeles?"

Ellis' phone call reminded Louie of Miller and Spike Lee in New York.

Who would have thought that Miller would still be an enemy of New York fans after becoming a Knicks member?

The Ellis fans, led by Director Li Da, walked into the garden every home game night with hatred for Miller.

Miller was the only Knicks player who could hear fans boo him at home before Rauf's demon.

"I want to play for you."

Ellis' answer was simple enough to refuse.

Louie said helplessly: "I'm not the coach of the Lakers now."

"Sooner or later you're going to be a coach again," Ellis said. "I don't want to play under anyone else anymore. I miss everything in New York. I want to go back in time. Charlotte was all shit."

What did Rex Chapman, Glen Rice, Larry Johnson, Terry Ball do to Ellis?

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

The next day, Louie drove into town on a rare occasion and headed to the administrative offices at Forum Arena with the news that Dale Ellis wanted to join the team.

There were West, Yuanzheng Zhao, Kupchak, Jim/Jenny Bass and some people Louis didn't know yet.

"I agree."

Zhao Yuanzheng knew better than others how loyal Ellis was to Louis.

What more can you ask of a player who can start on any team but is willing to come off the bench for you in his prime?

"I love his dunks."

Little Bass's self-righteous look makes people want to laugh.

"Jim, Dell's forte is the 3-pointer," Jenny scoffed. "He probably hasn't dunked in ten years."

Kupchak looked at West tentatively: "I heard that Dell is not a good player."

"He was in a bad way in Charlotte," West commented without any personal emotion. "Glen Rice claimed he was humiliated by Dell for not passing the ball, Larry Johnson was mocked by Dell every day, Ray Cox Chapman was abused by Dell for not running tactics... and off the court, he also has a lot of problems, it may not be a good idea to introduce him~www.readwn.com~ Sounds like Ellis is in The group of young people who abused the Hornets, but Louie did not lead the team to play against the Hornets. He could see who was excluding who.

And, here's a simple question.

How can Ellis use his own power to simultaneously exclude Aunt, Rice and Chapman, who were regarded as the team's future by the Hornets?

It doesn't make sense.

It seems that both West and Kupchak have objections to this matter, and Louis doesn't want to take the time to convince them, it will be too tiring.

"I see. Your worries about him are very reasonable. Expedition, please bring Dale's information and the contact information of his agent to the president's office." Louis walked up to Jim with a smile, "Who can take me there. President's office, today is my first day at work."

Jim jumped up immediately and said, "Your Excellency, please come with me."

You know, the joy of a permission dog is that simple. 16569/11001938
