Chapter 1087 The happiness of authority dog ​​is so simple

The first thousand and ninety-eighth chapter authority dog's happiness is so simple

In Los Angeles, Louis first had to solve the problem of accommodation.

Louis and his family spent the first few days at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Before coming to Los Angeles, Louis wanted to buy a house in Beverly Hills, and now he finally had the chance.

He decided to make the first large non-investment expense in his life.

Bass is a real estate agent himself, and he took the Louis couple to see more than a dozen villas for sale.

In the end, Louis followed the preferences of Lorraine and Li Xuanbing and chose Sunset Villa on Westridge Road.

Known as a world-class mansion, the house occupies an area of ​​8.29 acres. The surrounding environment looks like a park, overlooking the beautiful city of Los Angeles, with mountain and sea views at the same time.

In Lorraine's words, she enjoyed the isolation.

Although only minutes away from the Sunset Strip, it enjoys the highest level of privacy and security, and the facilities in the villa make Louis feel like he can never leave here.

Inside, there is a swimming pool, state-of-the-art spa, expansive courtyards that connect to tennis and basketball courts, and the main 14-square-foot main house has a main gallery entry that provides access to the living room, paneled study, professional movie screening room, dining room, and second-floor library.

The master suite is even more luxurious, with two bathrooms and a private study (which Louie plans to transform into a New York den).

There are also orchards and vineyards on the back side of the villa. If the elderly in the family want to, they can spend a lot of time on it every day.

Lorraine thought she might not be able to find a better house, but in fact the price of this house was only mid-range in Beverly Hills.

Li Xuanbing felt as if she had come to heaven, Louis only hoped that she would never know the price of this manor.

Louie bought Sunset Hills for $1200 million.

This money is just a trivial matter to him. Over the years of investment, he has unimaginable wealth before time travel.

Louis paid all the money in cash without selling the assets.

Bass is very emotional, his employees may have more money than him.

Although Louis delegated power to West for reinforcements, West would call Louis whenever there was news.

After Louie arrived, the first free agent the Lakers signed was Steve Kerr.

West felt that Kerr's shooting would be something Louie would like, and he's still an average point guard.

Louis: OK.

So the Lakers signed Kerr with a three-year, $3 million contract.

A day later, West's call came again.

"Zhao wants Olden Polynice C."

"Okay, but you have to tell me who this is first?"

Of course Louis knew Polynice, but the man's reputation was not great nowadays.

Like the player the Bucks traded for Dirk Nowitzki—what's his name—Pollinis' reputation is largely due to the fact that in Louie's previous life, the SuperSonics traded Scottie Pippen's signing rights for him.

But the deal that ruined a general manager didn't happen in this world.

Polynice just became a parallel lottery pick with NBA quality who could play in the league for many years, but that was it.

"You don't want him?" West asked.

Louis said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want it. It's okay to sign a short contract."

"David probably needs a backup."

"Isn't Moses Malone bad?" Louie felt there was a better choice, "or Bison Dele C/PF?"

West did not succumb to Louis' prestige as president, and immediately gave his own judgment.

"Moses wants a big contract to retire, and he is a poison in the locker room." West added, "Bison is very young, and he doesn't have the mentality needed for a substitute player. Although they are all better players than Alden, we only need a substitute among the substitutes."

If it was Baylor, he would go after Malone or Bison Dele without saying a word.

West was able to analyze the problem rationally and calmly. Anyway, Louis didn't want those two people at first, so he just asked tentatively.

"Jerry, don't be so nervous. If you want Alden, you can. If this is what Coach Zhao means, I will support you."

"I will not make a decision without your consent."

"I agree, Jerry, but on a short contract."

Louis really doesn't have time to take care of team affairs these days, moving to a new home is just one thing, and the other is to find a school for his children.

At the same time, Wang Zhizhi followed them to Los Angeles.

At present, Xiao Wang is only 16 years old, but he has already achieved a national reputation in New York and is one of the best players in his class.

In order to get better exercise, Louis also needs to help him find a good high school.

By the time all these things are dealt with, it will be the end of August.

Most of the players in the league have found their next homes. Among the remaining players, they are either fringe players, or those who are asking too much money and still wrangling, or veterans who no one cares about.

But there is an outlier, he rejected the high-priced contract extension offered by the team, and also rejected the asking price of other teams, in a state of "stay away from strangers".

The media couldn't help asking: "Is he going to retire?"

The player then called Louie's home.

"Coach, I want to play in Los Angeles."

The caller was Dell Ellis, the first champion of the Knicks dynasty.

His contract with the Hornets expired this summer, but he rejected the team's 5-year 4000 million contract extension.

Ellis' reasons for rejecting the Hornets are outrageous.

"Song is gone, this team has lost the championship gene, I am not interested in playing with a group of Luthors."

Hot knowledge, the "Song" in Ellis's mouth is the old Knicks player Song Tao. He is also the first Asian player to play in the NBA.

Back then, after working as a substitute for the Knicks for several years, Song Tao was traded to Philadelphia by Louis with a few rings, proving that he was a player capable of gaining a foothold in the league even without Louis’ relationship.

Song Tao is indeed an important member of the Hornets, but it would be nonsense to say that he has any champion genes in him.

Ellis offended the Hornets management, players, and fans with one sentence, and ruined his prestige of playing there.

"Dell, why do you want to come to Los Angeles?"

Ellis' call made Louis think of Miller and Spike Lee in New York inexplicably.

Who would have thought that Miller would still be an enemy of New York fans after becoming a member of the Knicks?
The iron fans of Ellis, headed by director Li Da, walked into the garden with hatred for Miller every home game night.

Before Rauf, Miller was the only Knicks player who could hear fans booing him at home.

"I want to play for you."

Ellis' answer was so simple it was simply impossible to refuse.

Louis said helplessly: "I am not the coach of the Lakers now."

"You're going to be a coach again sooner or later," Ellis said. "I don't want to play under anyone else anymore. I miss everything in New York. I want to go back to the old days. Everything in Charlotte is complete shit."

What did Rex Chapman, Glenn Rice, Larry Johnson, Terry Ball do to Ellis?
"I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

The next day, Louie made a rare drive into town, headed straight to the administrative offices at the Forum, and brought news that Dale Ellis wanted to join the team.

There were West, Zhao Yuanzheng, Kupchak, Jim/Jenny Buss and some people Louie didn't know yet.

"I agree."

Zhao Yuanzheng knew better than anyone else how loyal Ellis was to Louis.

What more can you ask of a player who can start on any team but is willing to come off the bench for you in his prime?
"I love his dunks."

The way Bass thinks he's smart makes people want to laugh.

"Jim, Dell's strength is the three-point shot." Jenny laughed, "He hasn't dunked the basket for ten years."

Kupchak looked at West tentatively: "I heard that Dell is not an easy player to get along with."

"He's had a bad record in Charlotte," West commented without any personal emotion. "Glenn Rice claims he was humiliated by Dell for not passing the ball, Larry Johnson was mocked by Dell every day, Rex Chapman was insulted by Dell on the sidelines for not running, and he has a lot of problems. Bringing him may not be a good idea."

It sounds like Ellis is abusing the young Hornets, but Louis has not led the team to play against the Hornets, and he can see who is squeezing whom.

And, here's a simple question.

May I ask how Ellis can single-handedly squeeze out the Hornets' auntie, Rice and Chapman at the same time?

It doesn't make sense.

It seems that both West and Kupchak are against this matter, and Louie doesn't want to spend time convincing them, that would be too tiring.

"I see. Your concerns about him are very reasonable. Yuanzheng, please bring Dell's information and the contact information of his agent to the president's office." Louis walked up to Jim with a smile, "Who can take me to the president's office, today is my first day at work."

Jim immediately jumped up and said, "Your Excellency, please follow me."

You know, the happiness of permission dog is so simple.
