The Rest, Only Noise

Lewis Shafir couldn't sit still as soon as the words "I can only wish you luck" came out.

Is this Louie so impulsive? Don't want to talk about it?

Shafir came with the mentality of fighting him for a long time.

Two days after the expansion draft got them, they had two days to slowly argue, and he didn't want the Knicks to bleed, he just wanted to get as many benefits as possible.

If you have something to say, you can bargain if the price is too high.

What a bargain for you!

This Louis came up and "can only wish you good luck"? Was there such a negotiation? Is this still the little demon who introduced the standard rookie contract rules at the annual meeting?

"Coach Lu, if there is anything inappropriate, you can say it, and we will talk slowly."

Shafir could only laugh.

Louie looked like a stunned young man: "It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not. Your asking price has exceeded our bottom line. Two draft picks, or the seventh pick, are impossible."

"Coach Lu, everything is easy to negotiate. Since you don't think this price is suitable, we can talk more and talk more deeply."

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but it's such a big thing, why bother?"

Louie's tone has grown impatient, but his posture has changed from lying on the desk to leaning against the wall against the desk.

He also performed the stunt of placing a single finger to open a Coke.

It's a pity that there was no audience at the scene. If the kid Zhao Yuanzheng was there, he would definitely praise him "the coach's work is really good".

"Expanding the draft is a big deal for us, Coach Lu, how can this kind of thing be sloppy?"

"Sorry, I didn't think it through, but think about it, Lewis, we're not talking about a multi-million dollar player deal, or a No. 1 or No. 2 trade, but a The question of who's on the bench who's playing less than 15 minutes per game on our team. Of course I want to keep John, but if you're asking too much, then I'll have to give it up. But it's still not a big deal, it's not going to be true Some people think that the loss of a John Salley will make the Knicks not a championship favorite this season, right?"

Shafir scrutinized Louis's words and found that it was really the case.

John Salley is a good player, but he's certainly not a star like Dale Ellis.

The Knicks' ability to release Ellis is already shocking.

To be honest, a player like Ellis deserves a lottery pick.

If the Knicks don't even care about the loss of Ellis, how can they bleed for a Sally?

"Coach Lu, I understand what you mean, you are only willing to take the 26th pick in the first round, right?"

"That's right, Lewis." Louis laughed, "You should know Elgin. He can't hide things, and he goes all out in everything, even in transactions. As soon as he comes up, he gives us our bottom line. You guys, I'm quite unhappy..."

Bottom line...

very unhappy...

A first-round 26th pick is the bottom line? My God, what a cockroach!

Shafir has a lot of mental activities, but he started to please Louis: "Coach Lu, if you don't want to give us more draft rights, you can give us some other..."

"others?"

Louie is acting stupid.

"Hey, use your imagination."

Damn, what a bitch!

Louie now knew why this man didn't do anything, really, he really only saw things that didn't matter.

"You mean, cash?"

"Bingo!" Shafir said with a smile, "Coach Lu, if you are willing to pay a little more cash, we can reach an agreement."

Louis didn't expect the other party to be such a thing.

He was actually mentally prepared to send the 11th overall pick in the first round. As long as the opponent and him seesaw to the end, he will definitely bleed.

That was the price that had to be paid for keeping John Selly.

However...

"How about $50,000 in cash?"

"Deal!" Shafir said decisively, "We have reached an agreement, Coach Lu!"

Louis was stunned: "Then make a deal?"

"It's done! I'll send a fax to the alliance right now!"

Louie hung up, feeling very different.

He didn't think things would work out so smoothly, and the Knicks didn't pay much to keep John Salley.

At this point, he can only pray that the general managers of next year's two expansion teams are also such idiots.

Louie was too lazy to go to Baylor's office and called him.

When he heard that Louie used only the end of the first round + $50,000 in cash to get Shafir, Baylor called out, "Is that person sick?"

"It really doesn't look like he's not sick."

"No, how could he agree? Is John Selly so low?"

Louie is understandable, the Knicks, except for McHale, are not of high tactical status.

Ewing is only the fourth shot point in the starting lineup, and others needless to say.

Sally's main role is to serve as a pressing insider for murder. He is fast, agile, dares to strike, can foul, and kills opponents with a smile. He is a replica of Ranbir.

But these characteristics are useless for weak teams that have just entered the league.

For a player who is mainly defensive, it is a waste to go to a weak team.

Louie guessed that Shafir didn't value Sally for this reason.

It can only be this reason, otherwise it really doesn't make sense.

"How much do you think we're going to lose this time if you open your mouth?" Louis boasted. "Learn, Elgin. Sometimes you can satisfy someone with your fingers, so why bother? Wronged your second brother to farm? Foreplay is more important than you think."

Baylor couldn't hear such vulgar words, and hung up the phone on the spot.

The agreement between the Knicks and the Heat was soon announced by the league.

In terms of public opinion, it is basically one-sidedly complaining that the Heat ask for too little.

Players from other teams who aren't on the roster may really be trash. The Knicks are different. They have played long rotations for a long time, and this characteristic of the game proves the reliability of their roster depth.

Only a lineup in which most players are of similar level can support this kind of gameplay.

If Salley can play 15 minutes with the Knicks, he can go to another team to play 25 minutes or even start.

For such a young player who can play, it's fine if he doesn't choose to go home himself, but he only needs the end of the first round and 50,000 cash?

When you are a beggar?

On the matter of the pre-election agreement, the Hornets have a completely different attitude from the Heat.

They reject all agreements to pick on the expansion draft.

In addition to the deal with the Knicks, the Heat reached more deals with other teams.

The Celtics gave the Heat a second-rounder, making them commit to not selecting team meritorious John Long in the expansion draft.

The Lakers also gave the Heat a second round, which also made the Heat give up on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the expansion draft.

It's understandable to want to make sure that the veterans are on their own teams for the rest of their lives.

The Heat want the beauty of adults, after all, these people are about to retire, and it is useless to use them.

After this operation, the Heat reached an agreement with seven teams before and after ~www.readwn.com~ and won a total of one first-round and six second-round.

If the other party is also a transmigrator, thinking about using the draft right to pick up the leak, Louis can understand it.

However, based on the opponent's operating record, the probability of Lewis Shaffield being a crossover is much higher than the probability that he uses these second-round picks to make the All-Star.

Therefore, based on the various actions of the other party, Louis made a clear inference.

Nothing else, just want to take a little advantage.

So, it's understandable why the Heat were the end of Lewis Shaffield's career as a general manager.

He is really stable and loves to take advantage.

When these two indicators appear on the same person, you can only see the rows and columns of his operation records without any bright spots, and the team has no hope. In the end, he can only leave.

Because most teams don't want to mess around.
