Chapter 1119 Come on, Angie!

"And what about Reggie Lewis?"

"I don't want to trade a healthy player for a player with a heart problem."

"Coach Lu, Scottie Pippen is my dream lover, you can make any price, I must get him!"

"I'll take it for Danny Manning."

"Haha, the weather is nice today."

"Yeah, great for fishing."

Hearing that Louis wanted Manning, Shafir had no idea about Pippen.

Although Sampson won the MVP and FMVP, he is already 35 years old, and Manning is the player who can rely on the future.

However, compared to the upcoming draft, and the free agency in July, there is one more important thing right now.

In the summer of 1995, the NBA expanded again. Remember the URL m.xbeqge. com

And this time, the expansion of the alliance is outside Canada.

The Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies entered the league.

There are two teams destined to bleed.

They are the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks.

Both teams have depth that no other team can match, and eight-man protection rosters are too few for them.

They will almost certainly lose two players each in this expansion draft.

The Lakers are much simpler. They only need to put Wilson, Pippen, Robinson, Ellis, A.C. Green, Divac, Kerr, Ceballos on the protection list, and the others love whoever.

June 22

The NBA's expansion draft has begun.

The Heat's protected list is: Sampson, Manning, Drexler, Petrovic, Dumars, Lewis, Rodman, Jaylen Rose.

The Knicks' protected list is: Ewing, Miller, Hill, Kemp, Stockton, Christie, Houston, Cassell.

The equally enticing roster of players on both teams that didn't make the protected list are: Dale Davis, P.J. Brown, Randy Brown, John Salley, Stevens, Reggie Williams, Raou husband, Kukoc, Mahon.

Facing this list, the two teams can't wait to give up some team selection opportunities and bring them all home.

The Raptors, with the No. 1 pick in the expansion draft, took Knicks all-around forward Tony Kukoc first and then P.J. Brown from the Heat.

The Grizzlies took Mohamed Raouf of the Knicks and Dale Davis of the Heat.

For the Knicks and Heat, this is no small blow.

But relatively, the Heat have been more affected.

Both P.J. and Davis are important inside rotations, and their presence is an important guarantee that the 35-year-old Sampson can dominate the playoffs.

The Knicks didn't feel anything.

A versatile forward with a weak defense like Kukoc doesn't fit the Knicks' needs, and Raouf looks like an unwanted kid.

Although he made great contributions to the last three championships of the Knicks dynasty, in New York, only Louie really admired him from beginning to end.

Sam Cassell was promoted to Stockton's backup after Tomjanovich took over.

Raouf tends to be reused only when the Knicks have no cards to play.

His bizarre ailments and disturbing religious beliefs are too dangerous, and sending him away this way is the best way the Knicks management can think of.

At least in Vancouver, no one cares about his problems.

What surprised Louis the most was that the Atlanta Hawks did not put Liu Yuqing on the protection list.

Last year, Liu Yuqing entered the NBA lottery as the tenth overall pick in the first round and did not get the treatment he deserved. The team didn't cultivate him because he didn't agree with the coach's philosophy and lacked communication with his teammates.

In his rookie season, he averaged only 9 minutes of playing time per game. Because he did not have the ball, his performance was dismal, averaging only 2 points and 2 rebounds per game.

The Grizzlies, who had already taken Raouf, didn't seem to mind having one more geek in the team, and chose Liu Yuqing as well.

Then there's this year's draft, where the top five picks are the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings.

The Lakers don't have a first-round pick this year. If they don't make a deal, they will basically have to watch the show on the sidelines.

Louie doesn't want to be a spectator, he also wants to attend this annual party.

Because he was interested in Michael Finley at the University of Wisconsin.

Look at this guy, his name is Michael, just like his son. Although his son is no longer called this name, seeing this name is like seeing his own son.

"Jerry, I don't care, you have to get me a mid-to-late first-round pick."

West's pupils shrank.

"What price are you willing to pay?"

Louie joked: "You shouldn't have to send Scottie Pippen to get a mid-to-late first-round pick, right?"

West didn't take the joke, "Where's Cedric Ceballos?"

"This is a promising star who averaged 17 points per game on our team. You sold him for a mid-to-late first-round pick?"

"What about the first round in the future?"

Louie said lightly: "You know I'm in Boston, and I hate trading my first-round pick the most."

"I see."

West walked out of the president's office with a gloomy face.

Jim Bass waited until he was gone before saying, "Sir, are you embarrassing Jerry a little too much?"

"Is it embarrassing? If he can't even do this, then the Lakers deserve to be rotten in the West for so many years."

It's not that Louis disrespects West, he just feels that it is rare to have such a good player under his command, and he will be sorry for the talent of the other party if he doesn't give him some work.

If it was Baylor, Louis wouldn't dare let him help him get a first-round comeback, because that old guy is likely to lose two first-rounds in order to get himself a first-round.

At this time, an international call came from Louie's office.

The call came from Vancouver, and the person who called him was his old subordinate, Danny Ainge, who had just been appointed as the deputy general manager of the Grizzlies.

About a month ago, Ainge was the Knicks home announcer.

Now, the general manager of the Grizzlies' management team is vacant, and there is no president on it. That is to say, the deputy general manager is their top decision-maker.

"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know you went to Vancouver." Louis asked with a smile, "Does it feel good to go abroad?"

Angie answered cheerfully: "Not good at all, this team sucks."

"So you want to turn them into a strong team, right?"

"Yes, coach, I want to negotiate a deal with you."

Louie felt old again, with all the players under his command already in management.

In the future, I am afraid that I will meet an acquaintance with any phone call.

"tell me the story."

"I heard Scottie Pippen is not for sale by the Lakers?"

"Well, he's not."

"That is, he can be traded?"

"Your understanding is getting better and better, Danny."

To these old subordinates, Louis likes to make fun of them when he has something or nothing.

Angie has long been used to it, but business matters.

"Coach, I can give us the sixth pick in the first round and the 29th pick in the first round (from the Heat) and MAR, do you think we can get Scottie Pippen for that price?"

"Can't get it."

"I can give you another first-round pick in the future."

"Danny, I only want to know the present, not the future." Louie smiled, "If you can move the sixth pick a few spots ahead, maybe we can talk more."

"How many places to mention?"

"I think the third pick is good."

"Reed wouldn't agree."

"So, you can try to get the No. 2 pick."

"With that pick I'd probably go straight to Jerry Stockhouse."

"Yeah, you can." Louie gave a piece of advice. "If I were you, I wouldn't be interested in Jerry Stackhouse. He's nothing like MJ's hair."

Louis and Angie chatted for twenty minutes.

Ainge's hunger for Pippen was urgent, and he knew that Pippen's arrival would give the Grizzlies an immediate foothold.

This need is not to win the championship or the team's future~www.readwn.com~ but to keep him in the management position.

The Grizzlies currently don't have a general manager, and if he can get them to the playoffs in their first or second year, who else can compete?

General manager?

President?

These are all achievable goals.

Moreover, if you really make a difference, you don't have to stay in Vancouver. Some teams are willing to ask him to guide the country.

Louie suddenly found that the gate to get Kevin Garnett didn't seem to be completely welded?

Do something, Angie!
