MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-v2 Chapter 1504 Ferry all over the league
Latest URL: Louie never thought he would one day be the **** of the league.
Recently, President Lu is studying one thing—how can we get rid of the big burden of Danny Ferry?
As we all know, Louie took Ferry's garbage contract in exchange for draft picks. If you want to make a deal now, only Ferry is suitable, because his salary is very high, with a full $8 million. The tricky thing is that this contract will last until the summer of 2003.
The Celtics are now rebuilding the team, and it's okay to carry a garbage contract, but Louis just wants to sell people.
Therefore, when a team intends to make a trade, Louis will call and report Ferry as soon as possible.
The only trade that came close was using Ferry for veteran Kevin Willis.
In the end it was Louis himself who terminated the deal.
Willis is a power forward, but he is too old. From a functional point of view, he can still be used, but his contract is too long, and it will not expire until 2004. A veteran of his age is degrading every year. After this year, maybe next year will be another price.
Then, the Magic were peddling Pippen again. Louie had the cheek to ask Ferry for the price.
The other party didn't give Louis a chance to say a second sentence at all, and ended the negotiation with a "thank you".
Magic is definitely the team that most wants to change its own destiny.
O'Neal and Webber left one after another, and they failed to grasp the peak period of these two super insiders to make the team successful. Now, they have to pay for the risky deal they made for the Bo championship.
A few years ago, the Magic sent their 2001 and 2003 first-round picks to the Celtics in order to get Pippen.
Now, the 2001 first-round pick has turned into the sixth pick last year and helped the Celtics select Pau Gasol.
At the moment, everyone thinks that the 2003 draft may be the biggest draft year since 1984, but the draft has been traded to the Celtics by the Magic.
Now, they hold the only valuable Pippen in their hands and want to exchange some valuable assets. How dare Louis make an offer with Ferry?
I really don't want any face!
In this way, the story of Louie trying to change the entire league with Danny Ferry became an anecdote in the media.
ESPN's signing writer, self-proclaimed Boston sportsman super Celtics fan Bill Simmons joked about this: "If LegendLu can exchange Ferry for valuable assets, I believe Isiah can lead the team to win the championship! "
This reminded Louis of an interesting incident from his previous life.
The story of changing all over the league also happened in his previous life.
The Thunder's Singler, the Rockets' Mamba, and the Lakers' Deng Yingqiao are known as the Big Three in the league. At that time, these three teams were often ridiculed. Unexpectedly, he has become the front wave of the league today.
At this time, Louis needs to use some connections. Under normal circumstances, Ferry is difficult to trade out.
Not only because Ferry itself is worthless, but also because the Celtics can't get the first round.
Three first-round picks for the next seven years have already been sent out. According to the Ted Steppy rule, they can no longer send out picks, and they can send a first-round swap at most.
Louis no longer shows mercy like a wild beast in the courtship period, but uses the records of each team, as well as the short-term and long-term goals of each team, to make this optimal solution.
Louie eventually turned his attention to Danny Ainge.
Ever since Kemp ate himself into a dirtbag, the Grizzlies have lost their competitiveness.
In addition to Kemp, the only player who can do it is Antoine Walker.
The rest, like *** Rauf, Damon Stoudemire, and Dale Davis, are all capable but unable to provoke the leader.
The problem is that if Walker is the only core of the team, it will also not be able to bring changes to the team.
All kinds of changes have made the Grizzlies currently ranked bottom in the West. So Louis turned his attention to them.
Angie himself is wary of making a deal with Louie. Giving the Lakers in 1997 almost ended his management career.
But this time, Louie didn't ask much, he only exchanged Ferry and the second-round pick for *** Rauf, and promised to give Angie a friendly suggestion for the 2002 draft.
Angie knew how accurate Louis was in his selection.
Moreover, Rauf was also a rotten product in his hands. He is no longer the lunatic guard who made the Blazers afraid.
In recent years, Rauf's state has seriously declined, coupled with his eccentric temper and strange illness, he can play up to 15 minutes per game.
Ainge is not interested in either Ferry or the Celtics' second round, but he is interested in Louie's proposal.
Later, Angie discovered that Rauf's salary could not match Ferry's.
Ferry's annual salary is as high as 8 million US dollars. What kind of animal management can offer this kind of person a long-term contract with an 8 million annual salary?
Unbeknownst to Angie, this meant he would have to send a few bonuses if the deal was to go ahead.
Obviously, Louie doesn't like Rauf, what he likes is the extra head. Adding hair is Louis' main purpose.
"Coach, who do I put in the deal?" Ainge decided that if things went wrong, he would end the negotiations.
He will never suffer the same loss twice.
Louis said flatly, "You can choose, I can do it."
At this time, Angie's eyes fell on someone on the team's roster-Blevin Knight, who signed a 4-year 20 million contract with the team last year, and the 5 million difference was just filled by him.
Angie likes the player Knight.
In Angie's view, if this person can increase his height by 10 centimeters, he will definitely be a top ten player in the league.
Even without the 10cm height, he is an excellent commander. For the Celtics full of young people, this kind of clear-headed player is what they need most. At the same time, Knight is not that important to the Grizzlies, it is a perfect addition to the trade.
Angie realized instantly that Louis' target was Knight.
"Coach, I have a better suggestion," Ainge said. "I'm going to trade Nick Anderson and Blevin Knight for your Danny Ferry and Joan Barry. As for the second round pick, you will see." Here, I have only one request, except when the draft starts in 2002 and 2003, I also need your advice."
Louis is heartbroken, his well-behaved team of angels actually wants to send out two lovely angels?
But so what the heartache, the deal still has to be done.
"Forget it, don't ask for the second round. I'll give you the 2003 first-round swap." Louis laughed, "What's the use of asking for the second round?"
Angie wasn't interested in the second round of the Celtics. As for the first-round swap that Louie mentioned...it was a standard empty glove white wolf.
By 2003, the Grizzlies must still be in the lottery zone, and the Celtics may not be. Is it possible that he will take the initiative to exchange the lottery pick for the Celtics at the end of the first round?
"Okay, I agree."
Angie learned another trick from Louis.
When you catch an opportunity, you must wipe out your opponent. If there is no opportunity, you can also create an opportunity out of thin air, just like Louis did today.
Obviously the Celtics took advantage of it, but Angie didn't feel a loss at all. Because the players he sent out were tasteless to the Grizzlies. Although the players he got were rubbish, Louis' right to make suggestions in the draft was likely to change the team's fate.
In the end, it was Louie who was buying and selling his talent in the draft, but Angie still had to give in.
Half a day later, the league announced: "The Boston Celtics will send Danny Ferry, Joan Barry, and the rights to a 2003 first-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies for Nick Anderson and Brian Nye. special."
The day after the deal was completed, Camille Bill Simmons made a high-profile announcement: "In honor of Louie, I have decided to change my middle name to Louie."
Everyone knows he's grandstanding
, but Simmons's reaction was basically the reaction of the public opinion circle.
Louie's operations didn't end there.
He doesn't like Nick Anderson, who is one of the beneficiaries of the butterfly effect of the time traveler. Because of Louie, he didn't make it to the Finals in the early 90s, and he didn't have a chance to miss four consecutive free throws in the Finals to sweep the team.
Anderson, who has entered the end of his career, can still average 7 points per game with a 44% shooting rate. In his previous life, his average shooting rate at the same time was less than 30%
Of course, even the current him is an old man that not many people want.
He is carrying a salary of 6 million US dollars, but fortunately, it is an expiring contract, and Louis does not intend to rot people in his own hands. Long before the deal with the Grizzlies is completed, he has already figured out who to give him to take over up.
The answer is the Philadelphia 76ers.
This time Louis is not going to please people, but to give Benj a chance to play brother basketball.
Who is his brother? Nick Anderson.
The two were good friends in high school, but their careers have not intersected much. Now, he finally has the opportunity to lead his good brother to win the championship. In order to realize this wish, he forced general manager Brad Lowhouse to send one or two It is also a matter of course to have a good substitute to complete this beautiful thing.
Nick Anderson hadn't even cleared his Celtics medical before he was packaged by the Lous to Philadelphia for Greg Bkner (SG) and Eduardo Najera (PF/SF).
These new aids ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Louie's favorite is Eduardo Najera, a Mexican who can't run fast or jump high but plays desperately. Every coach loves a player like that.
As for the reaction brought by the transaction, it should be as enthusiastic as it is.
"If LegendLu is not the GM of the year this season, it will be a blatant robbery and steal! What other general manager can use Jumbari and Danny Ferry to strengthen the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions at the same time. The lineup depth of No. 4 and No. 4? Messiah just proves that he is still Messiah. For a GM who has left his name on President Hill, he has not won any GM of the Year in his career. ridiculous!"
If it wasn't for the reminder from the media, Louis himself would not have realized that he hadn't won the best general manager of the year.
It's kind of surreal that he didn't win the award?
PS: To clarify, the fact that Louis recruited Zhou Qi as the GM assistant of Guanghui’s management in the early days is mainly my own imagination and what I heard at the time. Don’t take it seriously. Now that they have made such a fuss, maybe they can know what the real situation was back then.
