NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 71 Auerbach's Exploration

Seeing the hot discussion about LeBron James and many media confirming that this year's No. [-] pick must be LeBron James, Aaron Goodman finally heaved a sigh of relief and called "Magic" Johnson to express his gratitude: "Thanks, buddy!"

By the way, I also sent some "souvenir products" to Johnson.

"Magic" Johnson is the boss Aaron Goodman is looking for.

Johnson didn't care: "It's not a big deal. The kid is very talented. I'm just telling the truth. Besides, EJ likes LeBron very much."

However, boasting so hard must be for the sake of "native products".

Of course, both parties are aware of this, but there is no need to point out this kind of thing.

Hanging up the phone with satisfaction, Aaron Goodman is going to continue to use the media to promote LeBron James. He has not forgotten that Juwan still has the stage of "March Madness", so LeBron James' current momentum must continue.

"I really didn't expect Auerbach to stand up suddenly at this time!"

This really helped me a lot!

The "Boston Globe" report was a pleasant surprise for Goodman, which gave him more aspects to mention when promoting LeBron James.

Not just "enhanced version of Johnson", but also "Celtics hope hand-picked by Auerbach"!
Don't forget, who was the last "Celtics hope" appointed by Auerbach?
Therefore, this is also a very gimmicky excuse!

Goodman is really grateful to this old man who has retired for many years...

It's just that he was grateful, and the Cavaliers got a little angry. Why did this old man suddenly appear again?Haven't the rumors in the rivers and lakes already retired?But listening to this means, has he started to participate in the work of the Celtics management again?Why is it this year?
Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert even called David Stern directly: "He wants to rob LeBron James, President, you have to give justice!"

It's no wonder that the entire Cavaliers are so flustered from top to bottom.

First of all, whether LeBron James can be selected this summer is extremely important to the entire Cavaliers, and even to the entire Cleveland!
To put it bluntly, this city needs heroes!
That hero is LeBron James.

Second, the person who is going to rob LeBron James is none other than Auerbach, but anyone who has heard his story, there is no one who does not put "Forever God" on the public screen. This guy is really sloppy!
"Man, trust me, there will be a good result!"

David Stern patiently persuaded Gilbert to hang up the phone, and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows again.

As a person who has dealt with Auerbach for more than [-] years, he is very clear that the "cardinal" is just a temptation.

It's impossible for this old guy to announce the person he wants to pursue so bluntly!
From David Stern's point of view, the target of the "Cardinal" is likely to be Juwan, the "second generation of Larry Bird"...

He has been in power for more than [-] years, and he believes in his own judgment very much.

But the problem is... LeBron James must be given to Cleveland, so as to maximize the value of this guy, and it is more in line with his "one man, one city" strategy.

This made him dare not bet that Auerbach's gun had no bullets in it!
"This is the cardinal!"

Just started to test it a bit, and it will make the outside world go crazy.

David Stern suddenly regretted a little, shouldn't this old man come back.

But the words have been said, and now he can only see the tricks.

Auerbach also appeared at the North Shore Garden Arena at this time, and his appearance made all the staff excited.

In fact, not only the staff members were excited, but all Boston fans were excited after the Boston Globe's report came out.

Auerbach's call showed more than just his admiration for LeBron James. Boston fans saw more of him coming back to take the helm.

With him at the helm again, Boston fans believe that the dilapidated giants of the Celtics will soon be revived!
Auerbach, who was silent all the way, entered the general manager's office, only followed by Angie, and he asked, "How is the situation?"

Angie said: "It has a great impact. Now LeBron James is much more powerful than Juwan. It is estimated that Aaron Goodman will have some moves behind him. It is not impossible to completely overwhelm Juwan in a short time!"

"That's all right, we can wait and see what David Stern's reaction will be!" Auerbach leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. At the age of 86, he felt tired even if he just thought about it for a while, but looking at him like an old god, it makes people feel that even if he just thinks about it for a while, he has already won.

At least Angie felt at ease.

In fact, they just received a bad news before. Jerry West took over the Grizzlies much faster than they expected, and even his methods were much tougher.

The general manager who made the Lakers another "dynasty team" after the Bulls does have two brushes.

But fortunately, Aaron Goodman suddenly stood up at this time and teamed up with Johnson to make a show, which gave Auerbach a chance to play the test card.

If he tested David Stern's reaction.

If David Stern really wants to give LeBron James to Cleveland, then he must sign the No. 100 pick to Cleveland, so as to guarantee [-]% that he will not be cut off by him.

In fact, what Auerbach wanted was for David Stern to give the first-round pick to Cleveland.

You know, the Grizzlies' first-round pick this year is only protected by the No. [-] pick.

In other words, as long as the Grizzlies can't get this year's first-round pick, then this pick belongs to the Pistons.

Since Jerry West took over the Grizzlies faster than Auerbach imagined, then Auerbach has nothing to hesitate, just kick him out, and you don't want to play this year.

Of course, it would be even better if David Stern insisted on fighting with him and not signing Cleveland's No. [-] pick. If I don't get Juwan, can I still get LeBron James?

When the goal is not just a "Tim Duncan", Auerbach believes that David Stern will definitely not be able to play him this time.

At the same time, this is Auerbach's gesture of favor. He believes that David Stern can guess that his real target is not LeBron James.

Life is a trade-off~
A war between Auerbach and David Stern surrounding the 03 NBA draft has officially started.

Zhu Wan also noticed the outside world. When he saw Auerbach calling LeBron James "the future of the Celtics", he was secretly stunned: "This is the proud son of heaven!"

Although he is also a little strange.

It seems that the original Auerbach didn't say such a thing, did he?

Could it be that I misremembered?

Forget it, forget it, let him go!
However, in Zhu Wan's opinion, he is at most the second pick in the first round of this year's draft.

No way, the current momentum of LeBron James is too impressive!
slip away.

Of course, Zhu Wan is not depressed, in fact, it is already a good result for him to be in the top five of the first round.

The four-year contract is at least 400 million, which is equivalent to about 400 million per year. There is really no problem in improving life!

"Thanks, Charles, thank you so much for this time!"

"You're welcome, buddy, these are all trivial matters, don't forget Xia Tian, ​​bring the little guy, I haven't seen him for so long, I still miss him!"

"Don't worry, see you in summer!"

After staying in Washington for more than half a month, Juwan prepared to return to school with a fruitful Okafor.

But at this time, he received a call from Caron Butler: "Dude, do you want to go to the All-Star Weekend!"
