The Rest, Only Noise

Looking at the King's lineup, just as Louis expected, none of them was eye-catching.

The only good players may be Jordan's North Carolina teammate Kenny Smith and the Knicks' complete backcourt sharpshooter Jose Hawkins. The rest of the players, Louis can't see any of them.

Bill Russell said very freely: "You can choose anyone, as long as you can make a deal, we have nothing not for sale."

Louie couldn't help laughing: "Bill, although I'm not very demanding, but I'm not collecting junk. Do you want to send me with these players?"

Russell saw that a good deal was going to be ruined because they didn't have a good bargaining chip, and immediately said: You can negotiate anything you want! "

Louie didn't rush to John Salley's idea.

Since Sally wasn't a bomb yet, he didn't show any signs of exploding.

So even if Russell took the initiative to call, he didn't really want to trade.

If nothing else, Salley's role in the murder press is one that few on the Knicks can afford.

Both Bird and Thomas struggled with injuries after the Celtics, and the young Knicks take a step up every year.

This trade off and the other changes, and it may be a few years before the Celtics are no match for the Knicks at all. So the murder press doesn't need to be as flawless as it used to be, and it doesn't need to be as directed.

Over time, there won't be any more teams that need the Knicks to focus exclusively on murder presses.

Murder presses can become a bottom-line tactic.

Just as Shan Wang hit Xiangbei deliberately at the beginning of the second half, he almost blew up Xiangbei with full-court pressing.

Since such a perfect murder press is not needed, a player like John Salley, who is obviously more valuable, should be sent to a team that can play the ball.

If he can become a member of the world, Louis will never get stuck.

It's really that the Kings can't give any good bargaining chips. Even if Russell wants to add future draft picks, it is difficult for Louis to be tempted.

To put it bluntly, because the Kings did not have a player that Louis could look up to, John Salley became a non-sale product.

Selley didn't trade, and Russell put his targets on Hornacek, Rodman, and Marley.

Not to mention, Russell has a good vision, and he is all about future All-Stars.

"Bill, let me tell you straight, don't think about anyone but Ronnie Sekali."

Louis opened up.

"Ronnie Sekali?"

Seikali is only a rookie, and he can only play garbage time in the Knicks. Although the efficiency is good, if the playing time increases, no one can say what it will be.

"Oh, Lu, aren't we friends?"

Come on... don't the guys from Boston like to play favor cards when they talk business?

"Yeah, because we're friends, so if you give me Jose Hawkins, I can give you Ronnie. And, I'll only accept the two for one-for-one."

"goodbye!"

Russell hung up the phone without saying a word.

He was disappointed, helpless, and felt that the business of professional basketball was far less simple than he thought.

Russell may be the player in the history of basketball who knows how to win games.

In terms of basketball talent and immediate combat power, he is no match for Chamberlain. But Chamberlain has only won him once in his life - and, Russell's teammates made 27 All-Stars, Chamberlain's teammates made 25 All-Stars, don't say anything about Russell's teammates, Chamberlain can't play five, what's the point of being close together? The difference - but he just won Chamberlain for the rest of his life.

Because he wants to win and knows how to win.

Throughout his career, he has opened the door to victory. But after retiring, when he tried to replicate the success of his playing days in management, all he got was failure.

In the 1970s, he was the coach of the Seattle SuperSonics. In order to establish authority, when he was training in the team, he let those players who did not obey the discipline try to break his defense one-on-one. Educated hard. As a result, instead of helping him discipline the team, it made players feel alienated from him.

He soon became disillusioned with the burgeoning professional basketball scene and thought his philosophy of success was only appropriate for the '60s.

It's the 80's now and he's back, is the result any different?

Louie didn't make a deal with him, not entirely because the player was unattractive, but also because Russell didn't intend to use the draft pick to increase his chips.

Like Auerbach, he treats draft picks as treasures.

The deal with the king could not be completed, and Louis asked Zhao Yuanzheng to find Oakley.

Although they failed to make a deal with the king, the call served as a reminder to Louie.

Why save Oakley until the end of the season? Now is the time when his trade value is at its greatest.

Zhao Yuanzheng called Oakley.

Louie chatted with him a few words about the deal.

"Coach, are you going to trade me?"

"No, I haven't discussed trading you with any team right now. I just wanted to ask you, if there's a right team that wants you and they're offering the right chips. Do you want to leave?"

After this season, Louis and Oakley's pre-season agreement.

To break the deal, Louie would have to get Oakley's approval.

Of course, he has the initiative to break the contract, but he is a man of faith, especially the verbal agreement with Oakley.

Because he didn't want to leave an untrustworthy impression on the other party.

Is it worth it to ruin his glorious image for an Oakley? of course not.

After thinking hard, Oakley said, "Coach, if you think it's appropriate, just trade."

The remarks showed how much Oakley wanted to play longer.

The Knicks' power forward position is seriously inward, and Louie often sets up twin towers. Sometimes Rodman plays more time at the 4 than Oakley.

For a blue-collar power forward in his prime, this life is indeed a torment.

"I see. If there is any news, I will notify you."

After Oakley left, Zhao Yuanzheng asked, "Coach, is there a deal?"

"Not sure yet."

Louis walked out of the president's office and went straight to the general manager's office—although the former name of the office was changed, the location of the office has not been changed. The only thing that has been changed is the sign at the door of the office.

The Knicks' current general manager is Elgin Baylor. Although he is the nominal head of operations, he will not make any transactions without Louis' approval.

This year's trade deadline ~www.readwn.com~ He was going to be as dead as he was last year. As a result, Louis appeared.

"Any news on the market?"

"There's a lot of news." Baylor, who had nothing to do, was left to listen to the trade flow of each team. "Russell is very restless in Sacramento. I heard people say that he is trying to make a big deal. ."

"I know about this, and the person who negotiated the deal with him was me."

"Isn't it?"

"Don't worry, we didn't make a deal. The Kings' chips are too shabby."

"I said yes." Baylor only wished that he had rejected Russell himself, "With their bargaining chips, even I can't exchange them, and they still want to make a big move, it's funny!"

ps: I didn't find an excuse for the lack of words. Um…
