The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: "Pour me a Coke, thanks."

Cavaliers general manager Harry Weltman almost broke when he heard Louie was still in the mood for a drink.

Originally, he wanted to force Louis to make a quick decision by using the knight's turn to choose immediately, but the other party looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and he would not trade if he couldn't get the sweetness.

"Little Lu, what more do you want?"

Weltman wants to trade for an immediate combat power, and if Bill Cartwright recovers well, his ability should be able to surpass the ninth pick and every insider after that.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Sampson had dominant performances in the Finals.

The famous saying that the center wins the world has spread again, and teams without insiders want to find a good insider for themselves.

The Knicks have a suspected broken finished insider, and now they have Ewing, they should not think about keeping Cartwright.

Weltman didn't expect Louie to not eat his way at all.

"Harry, you should know that what we want most right now is draft rights. If you are on the basis of the ninth pick, you can give me a few more draft rights."

"impossible!"

Weltman hung up the phone angrily.

"Hello? Hello?" Louie stared at the phone helplessly, "Is it so rude?"

Wu De asked, "Have you hung up?"

"Um."

The Cavaliers' reaction is understandable. If the Blazers have Wharton's ptsd and Louis has Zhou Qi's ptsd, then the Cavaliers definitely suffer from a ptsd called Ted Steppi.

To this day, they are all paying the debt for Steppi's guilt.

Steppi ptsd's keywords are junk contracts, and draft picks.

He ruined the future of the Cavaliers in a few years, causing the Cavaliers' management to have a ptsd reaction whenever they heard the other party wanted a draft pick in a trade.

Louis believed that when Wiltman calmed down, he would call again.

About a minute later, Wiltman called again.

"Little Lu, anything but draft picks."

"Looks like we have nothing to talk about."

Just as Louis was about to hang up the phone, the other party nervously said, "I have a compromise!"

"Oh, come and listen." Louie reminded, "It's the Cavaliers' turn to make a choice right now? You have to hurry up."

"We can't give you the first-round pick directly, but we can activate the first-round pick swap option!"

"This seems to be possible."

"How is it, little Lu?"

"I like your proposal. If that's the case, I'd like to be eligible for a first-round pick swap between you and me for the next two years, what do you think?"

"I can't accept your proposal!"

"Don't get excited, this is the only way for you to get Bill Cartwright. If you don't accept it, we'll stop here." Louis couldn't help laughing, "I repeat, Bill is now 100 healthy."

Five seconds of silence, Wiltman seemed to be struggling.

In terms of record, the Knicks were on a par with the Cavaliers last season, but next season they have Ewing.

However, it's just a special one, can it really turn the world upside down?

Look at Olajuwon's situation in the Rockets, it's not much better without helpers.

Besides, Bernard King has been reimbursed.

"Harry, this is not unacceptable!" The head coach of the Cavaliers, George Karl, not only did not perceive the danger, but also spoke enthusiastically and gave decisive advice, "Little Lu almost traded all the combat-effective players in the Knicks team. He went out to change draft picks. He thought he had the future in his hands, but the reality is that the Knicks are very weak. Next season, they will definitely be seventh from the bottom. As long as we strive to get out of the lottery, we can rely on a relative Swap the first-round pick with them!"

Weltman was moved by him: "Are you sure Ewing can't make them competitive again?"

"Not for the next two years at least," Carl affirmed.

Hearing this, Wiltman had a plan and said to Louis, "Little Lu, okay, I accept your proposal, but you need to give us the right to swap first-round picks for the next two years."

"No, Harry? Do you really think we're not going to be competitive for the next two years with Patrick Ewing?"

Louis suspects that the Weltman family has Japanese relatives. This is a bet on team luck. Whoever is more competitive will work for whomever.

"Little Lu, do you agree or not, give me a happy word!"

From the Cavaliers' point of view, this is equivalent to trading the No. 9 pick for Cartwright and the lottery picks for the next two years.

But for the Knicks, too, the Cavaliers' picks for the next two years are definitely lottery.

Both parties feel that the other will work for them.

To Louis, the knight is courting death.

It's still a long way from winning the championship, but it's easy to get out of the lottery, and it's hard for the Cavaliers.

Originally, if the other party bargained, he might only need to exchange first-round picks next year. I didn't expect the other party to be more greedy than him, not only wanting Cartwright, but also trying to win the lottery for free in the next two years?

Then it's up to you.

Louie happily accepted the offer: "We've made a deal, Harry."

"Now tell me, who are you going to pick with the ninth pick in the first round!"

"No, Harry, please follow the rules and fax the league to confirm first."

Well, Louis hung up the phone.

Debusschere clutched his chest, and both the executive and the president looked at him.

"I'm done." Louie.

Wu De patted the table excitedly: "Okay! What did we get?"

"A No. 9 pick, and two first-round picks with top-10 potential."

Krueger asked unexpectedly: "Is the knight so crazy about a guy who is recovering from a serious injury?"

"It can't be crazy. We and the knights are betting on the future, but I know where the future is. The knights can only pray to God." Louis confidently.

Debusschere asked: "Ninth pick, who do we pick?"

"You fax the alliance first."

Among the remaining people on the draft list, those who are worthy of the ninth pick are: Schramf, Oakley, and Joe Dumars.

In fact, Louis originally wanted to choose, only Oakley and Malone.

This shouldn't even be a multiple choice question.

The top 30 superstars in history and the top blue-collar workers, how to choose, know with your toes?

What's more, the Knicks and Stockton have chosen Malone and copied the pick-and-roll system. The Knicks' competitiveness will not have to worry about the next 20 years.

This is the best option without the Celtics and Jazz getting in the way.

From the style of the game, Malone and Ewing do not conflict, they can both pull away and shoot, and a 4 and a 5 are just right. However, if Ewing is to grow up smoothly, Louie needs a rebounder, a super thug, someone who can hide Ewing in the fight and let his talent shine without letting him fall into the shadows. In this regard, Malone only meets the needs of rebounding.

Now that Malone can't get it, he has to pay more attention to Ewing's future.

What spark will Stockton have with Ewing?

Louis has made a decision.

After a while, the call from the Cavaliers came.

"Little Lu, it's time." Weltman asked, "Who do you want?"

"Charles Oakley," Louie said.

On the other end of the phone, Harry Wiltman was even happier.

Who did the Knicks pick? He had never heard of it.

Oakley isn't a favorite in this draft because he's playing in the secondary league. With the strength of the second-tier alliance, no matter what it is, they will be discriminated against and looked down upon.

But Louie can't bet on Oakley's pick falling, because the Bulls have the 11th pick in the first round. If he doesn't take Oakley with the ninth pick, the Bulls will definitely use the 11th pick in the first round.

In front of the TV, David Stern reported the Cavaliers' choice.

Oakley, who doesn't know what happened, can only follow the general process, thank God, thank his family, thank the Cavaliers for selecting him, and how he will work hard.

Looking at him in a suit and leather shoes, he looks like an honest and good man. In fact, the first villain in the 1990s, the king of fighting, and in the entire basketball history, he is a pantheon-level thug. Don't use James Johnson, whose name is so loud, to fight. Oakley is the kind of ruthless character who can fight and dare to fight. He has been in the league for 20 years, fighting countless times, and has never met an opponent.

One of Louie's most memorable stories was in 2001, when Tyron Hill, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers, joined the team in a game in Toronto. There was no sign. When the two teams practiced, Oakley walked straight to the 76ers player Tiron Hill and slapped the other side. The cause of the incident was that Hill did not pay back the money he owed, so Oak used a slap to impress him.

"Lu~www.readwn.com~ Since the deal is reached, why don't you look happy at all?" Kruger asked.

How can they understand? Louis sighed softly: "Because you don't know what I missed."

After Cartwright was traded, the Bulls did not call again.

The first round between Jerry Krause and Louie was a familiar one.

Klaus at least knew that Louis was not the kind of person to be fooled, and Louis saw how cunning Klaus's trading methods were.

He likes to play with chain sets, one link after the other.

He trades with a, but he doesn't really want something from a, because he knows that b wants something like a from a, so he first trades something like a from a and then talks to b about what he really wants.

This is a real good trader.
