Chapter 311 The person who should be anxious is you, I am not anxious

Chapter 3 The person who should be anxious is you, I am not in a hurry

Anyone who is familiar with Jordan is unlikely to be unfamiliar with Jerry Krause, the designer of the Bulls dynasty.

Before 1996, he did all the right things.However, since 1996, it has been wrong.A management personnel is eager to get the same respect as the players, has a tense relationship with the players, and has a bad relationship with the coach he single-handedly promoted. During the second period of the three consecutive championships, the side effects far outweighed the positive effects.

After the disintegration of the Bulls dynasty, Klaus's last big deal was to get the second of the three high school treasures at the same time in 2001, but it turned out to be a joke, and his career as a general manager came to an end.

In fact, there are many general managers like this. After the highlights, they quickly fade away, and they frequently fail.

At this time, Klaus had just changed from a scout to a general manager, and it was the time when he was ambitious.

"Hello, Jerry, I'm Louis." Louis introduced himself, "Dave has a stomachache, and I'm temporarily taking over here. If you need anything, you can tell me."

Klaus didn't seem surprised that Louis answered the call.

"It's like this, Coach Lu, I want to use our No. 11 pick in the first round to make a deal with you."

"Great, what we want most now is draft picks." Louis asked, "I don't know who you want?"

It didn't occur to Klaus that he would have to repeat the process.

"John Stockton, what do you think?"

"Jerry, you're so good at choosing, John is our only one not for sale." Louis didn't believe that there would be such ignorant people.

It's like making a trade request in 2K to someone who's on the untradeable list.

"Lu, no matter what, please make this deal with me. John is the player we need most. In addition to draft picks, I can give you something extra."

Louis didn't have the patience to watch him play monkey games: "Jerry, if you insist on John, our conversation may end here."

"Is there really no possibility of a deal?"

"There is no such possibility."

"Okay. It's a pity. Maybe we can talk about other deals besides this. My chip is still the 11th pick in the first round."

Sure enough, Louis saw Klaus' fox tail.

"Except for John and Ewing's signing rights, we have no items not for sale."

Louie wants Klaus to keep things simple and stop messing around.

Originally, he didn't plan to make a big move in the draft, just choose the person he wanted to choose.

But now it seems that some people have already set their minds on the Knicks.

"I think, after getting Ewing, you should no longer need Bill Cartwright." Krause's tail was already exposed, "Coach Lu, I know that Bill's value is higher than the 11th pick in the first round, but he is recovering from a serious injury after all, and his state is difficult to guarantee. This is an equivalent exchange."

"Haha, Jerry, you're such a smart guy!"

Louie laughed, and Klaus thought it was done.

"But I can't decide on this matter myself, it needs to be discussed internally."

"Time is running out, please hurry."

"Ok."

Louis hung up the phone, and De Buschel, Wood and Kruger all looked at him.

"How is it?" Debusschere asked.

"They want Bill Cartwright."

"It can be given, we have Patrick now, and Bill is in the past tense." De Buschell said.

Debusschell thinks the logic that can be given is the same as that of Krauss.

In terms of ability, Cartwright can change to the top seven picks, but it is difficult to guarantee the state of his comeback after injury. Therefore, although the 11th pick in the first round is a bit low, it is still an option.

Louie's doubts are: "Chicago already has Kevin McHale, Charles Barkley, Dave Corzine C, Dave Greenwood, why does it need Bill?"

"Why?" Debusschel asked naively.

Louis smiled faintly: "This is the most interesting part. Even if this is a deal that is beneficial to them, they shouldn't do it. They don't need Bill."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for the call."

After a while, the phone rang again.

After Debusschere answered the phone, he said to Louis, "It's from the Cavaliers."

"Bingo!" Louis snapped his fingers, "That's right!"

He remembered that in 1986, Krause's first major operation when he took office was to make a deal with the Cavaliers in exchange for Charles Oakley's signing rights.

That makes sense.

Krause is nesting dolls, he wants to get Cartwright first, and then use Cartwright to trade Cartwright for the Cavaliers' ninth pick, and he can be sure that he will make the Cavaliers spit out more things.

"Lu, I don't feel well."

De Buschel put his hand on his heart, not sure if it was really uncomfortable or fake.

"You go, leave this to me."

Louie answered the phone and said, "Hi Harry, this is Louie."

Cavaliers general manager Harry Weltman said: "Coach Road, let's talk about a trade that is beneficial to both parties."

"Great, my favorite is a win-win situation." Louis answered, waiting for the opponent to throw out chips.

"Time is urgent, I said it directly." Wiltman's style was more aggressive than Klaus, "We want to exchange Bill Cartwright with the ninth pick in the first round."

Louis deliberately made the other party wait for a few seconds before replying: "Harry, it's very difficult for you to select Bill Cartwright with the ninth overall pick."

"If it's a healthy Bill, it's really hard."

"He is healthy now." Louie quickly accepted the other party's words. "In fact, during the regular season, he has already recovered. We did not let him come back for the long-term plan of the team. He was only fractured, not a tear in any part of the knee. Besides, he is a center that does not rely on his body, full of wisdom and leadership. To tell you the truth, I really think from the bottom of my heart that the ninth pick is not enough for Bill."

Wiltman used a method of pressure: "Coach Lu, if you are not satisfied with our chips and want to increase the price, you can speak up, but time is really running out. If we don't complete the transaction as soon as possible, you will miss the players you want!"

"No, I'm not in a hurry, Harry, if we don't get the deal done, it's you who should be sorry. You have to find one in a bunch of lottery tickets that works, and as long as Bill proves himself in the new season, I can trade him for better chips."

After Louis finished speaking, he also asked the assistant in the office to say, "Pour me a Coke, thank you."
