Chapter 1115 Take Your Time To Learn

The news that the tragedian was preparing to come back touched the hearts of many people as soon as it came out.

Because Louis is also back.

Fans have reason to believe that the tragic master came for Louis.

Imagine how the tragic master would play under Louis?

Imagine what kind of sparks he and Benj would have.

Imagine how he would use his experience to help Kevin Garnett improve himself.

Fans' ideas are often different from those of the parties involved.

The tragedian first contacted Louis as soon as he came back, and then contacted Wilson by phone.

After they finished talking on the phone, Wilson immediately contacted Louie to express his thoughts.

Benj isn't worried about his leadership being challenged.

In his own words.

"If I can't compete with a 36-year-old man, then what am I doing in Los Angeles?"

Benj's concern about the tragedy master is mainly in terms of strength.

What is certain is that the current tragedy master can no longer play the first position in professional games.

This is because of his sheer weight.

During the five years after retiring from the game, due to lack of exercise, the tragic teacher gained 20 catties in weight.

Fortunately, he still has height, and with this weight, even if he can't play the first position, he can still play the fourth position.

"Sounds dangerous." Louis joked, "The last coach who wanted Irwin to play the [-]th position has been 'fired' by him⑴."

Wilson only knew a little bit about the past, but Louis was a witness.

"Coach, be confident, you are our president."

"What's so great about the president, Irwin is still a shareholder of the Lakers."

"It's just a minority shareholder. Moreover, if he wants to come back, he has to give up his shares. At that time, he will only have one identity, and that is your Lakers player."

It is comfortable to chat with people who can speak well.

"If Patrick could talk half as well as you, I probably wouldn't have left New York."

"If Patrick was half as easy to live with as you, I would definitely be his Robin."

Wilson, who left New York, has a characteristic that Louie likes very much, that is, he likes to black Ewing for no reason.

As someone who's been doing it for nearly a decade, Louie and Benj have more to talk about.

After that, they forgot about the comeback of the tragedian, one started the conversation, the other answered it, and after blackmailing Ewing for a few minutes, they said hello to each other's families, and hung up the phone in an extremely harmonious atmosphere.

At present, most of the Lakers' contracts have expired.

除去还没正式签约的三名新秀，账面上的合同只有威尔逊（4年5500万）、艾利斯（3年1200万）、罗宾逊（5年2000万/1996年夏天到期）、A.C·格林（5年1000万/1997年夏天到期）、迪瓦茨（6年1800万/1998年夏天到期）、塞巴洛斯（4年500万/1996年夏天到期）
The space occupied by the contracts of these four people is less than 2700 million, and the salary cap for the new season is 3000 million.

The money is definitely not enough to sign a star, but what they need now is not a star, but a substitute to increase the depth of the lineup.

Due to the heavy tasks, Louis returned to work at the forum after only giving himself one day off after the draft.

After sending away Steve Kerr, the position that the Lakers need most at present is the No. [-] position.

Louie leans toward a veteran who can hold the floor.

To this end, he discussed with West for a day, and selected a seasoned veteran from a long list of players -- Sedale Threatt PG.

This person entered the industry as a sixth-round pick in 1984. He has been tested by various teams and is a plug-and-play player.

Aside from his ability on the court, perhaps Slater's greatest strength is his second child.

It is said that he conquered countless bones and skins in the night market, and he spent half his life in the army. There are 14 heirs with names and surnames, and there are countless illegitimate children.

Slater is 33 years old. When he learned that the Lakers wanted him, he immediately left other teams and negotiated with his agent.

Slater wanted to play for the Lakers.

He is the kind of "real Lakers don't need to be recruited" that Kobe said, so, after a while of negotiation, Slater signed with the Lakers at a two-year 2 million below the market price.

That leaves room for $100 million and, of course, a full middle-class ordinance.

Even if the space and mid-level regulations are used up, the Lakers can still use the minimum salary regulations to select players who aspire to play for the Lakers.

Louie and West have a clear division of labor.

For the rest of the signing, Louis let West take full responsibility.

Because the contract that the Lakers can offer is no longer attractive, whether they can sign someone or not depends on their mouths.

Louie didn't want to waste time on this.

As a top tool man, West's drudgery is when he comes into play.

Louie took care of Divac.

The reason for dealing with him is very simple. If the tragic division is to come back, the Lakers' fourth position will be a bit crowded.

When necessary, Louis will let the tragedy teacher play in the fifth position.

Garnett is Louis' key training target for the next few years.

He doesn't want to put Garnett in the third position like the Timberwolves, which will make him develop many bad habits.

Although his current body can't withstand the inside confrontation at the NBA level, the Lakers don't need him to start every game from the rookie season like the Timberwolves.

Louie wants Garnett to realize from the very beginning that he is an insider.

Another rookie, Ostertag, has a body that fully meets the standards of professional basketball, and it is enough to be a meat shield that can protect the basket.

The only thing that attracted Louie to Divac before was his ability to cope.

Now that Garnett is here, there is also a tragedy teacher who may come back, so this master should stay where he is cool, and he didn't answer the phone a few days ago, which turned against him.

Basically no strong team is interested in Divac.

Because the goal of a strong team is to be a champion.

What is the level of the centers of those teams that want to win the championship? Divac obviously can't meet the requirements.

On the contrary, weak teams are very interested in Divac.

Divac is the kind of star player who can teach young players lessons and help others get better.

However, this is also the characteristic of supporting insiders.

The teams that are struggling to pursue Divac mainly include the Rockets, Grizzlies and Mavericks.

Mavericks general manager Norm Sonju wants to trade Horace Grant for Divac.

In fact, this proposal can see his intentions.

Louis had used Oakley as Ewing's bodyguard in New York in the early years, and now Garnett was much thinner than Ewing back then, so it was appropriate to send Grant as his bodyguard.

But he didn't expect Louis to give up this training method.

The Rockets plan to start with three highs in the new season.

Insiders like Divac who can shoot three-pointers and have top coping skills are rare.

Rockets general manager Bob Weinhauer is a cautious man.However, no matter how cautious people are, there are times when they overturn.

Many general managers who built championship teams didn't even have the chance to be famous in history, but Winhall's career was tied to a humiliating trade.

Fans may not know him, but they must know this deal.

He's the guy who sent Nowitzki to the Mavericks and brought Robert Traylor PF back to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Louie laughed when Winhauer offered to swap Todd Day SG for the 1996 and 1999 first-round picks.

"Bob, can we be realistic, Vlade Divac can make you a playoff team in no time, do you think your first round will work?"

"Vlade Divac can make you a playoff team in no time" is one of the many lies Coach Lou has told.

Wen Haoer asked impatiently: "Coach Lu, can you tell me what you want?"

"I'm sorry, Bob, there are many teams that want Vlad. I don't have the energy to find out who is what we need in your lineup. It depends on you to find out." Louis said, ending with "I'm going to answer the next call, and hope to get your offer" and hung up the phone.

Louie found Jim Bass looking at him with the look of a policeman interrogating a prisoner.

"Sir, is Vlad really that good?"

"If he is really that good, do you think I will trade him?"

"My God, you are so insidious!"

"Hmph, what is this? People are sinister. This is the society we live in. The truth contained in it is complicated and profound. Learn it slowly!"

⑴To help you recall, a few words by the way, oh no, it is to strengthen your memory-the Magician in 1982 was dissatisfied with the team positioning of then Lakers coach Paul Westhead, and publicly requested a trade at the beginning of the season.As for who left, I believe I don't need to say more.
