Chapter 311 A Difficult Choice

"Pour me a cup of Coke, thank you."

Cavaliers general manager Harry Wiltmann almost broke the effort when he heard Louis was still in the mood to drink a drink.

Originally, he wanted to use the Knights' turn to choose this trick to force Louis to make a quick decision, but the other party looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. If he couldn't get the sweetness, he would not trade.

"Little, what else do you want?"

Wiltman wants to get an instant combat power. If Bill Cartwright recovers well, his ability should be able to surpass the ninth pick and every inside player afterwards.

Jabbar and Sampson performed dominantly in the finals one after another.

The famous saying that those who win the center will win the world spread again, and teams without the inside want to find a good inside for themselves.

The Knicks has a suspected broken finished insider, and now he has Ewing again, so he probably won't think about keeping Cartwright.

Wiltmann didn't expect Louis wouldn't take his tricks at all.

"Harry, you should know that what we want most now is draft picks. If you are on the basis of the No. 9 pick, you can give me a few more draft picks."

"impossible!"

Wiltman hung up the phone angrily.

"Hey? Hey?" Louis stared at the phone and said helplessly, "Is it so rude?"

Wu De asked: "Have you hung up?"

"Um."

It is understandable that the Cavaliers responded fiercely. If the Trail Blazers have Walton ptsd and Louis has Zhou Qi ptsd, the Cavaliers definitely suffer from a ptsd called Tedstepi.

Until today, they are paying off the debts that Stepi has committed.

The keywords of Stepi ptsd are junk contracts, and draft picks.

He spent several years destroying the Cavaliers' future, so that the Cavaliers' management would have a ptsd reaction whenever they heard the opponent's draft pick in the trade.

Louis believed that after Wiltman calmed down, he would call him.

About a minute later, Wiltman's phone came again.

"Little, anything but a draft pick."

"It seems we have nothing to talk about."

Louis was about to hang up the phone, but the other party said nervously: "I have a compromise!"

"Oh, let's hear it." Louis reminded, "It's the Cavaliers' turn to make the choice right away, right? You have to hurry up."

"We can't give you the first round pick directly, but we can activate the first round pick swap option!"

"It seems that this is OK."

"How about it, little reveal?"

"I like your proposal very much. If so, I hope to be qualified for the first round pick exchange between you and me in the next two years. What do you think?"

"I can't accept your suggestion!"

"Don't be excited, this is the only way for you to get Bill Cartwright. If you don't accept it, we'll stop here." Louis couldn't help laughing, "I'll say it again, Bill is now 100 healthy."

For five seconds of silence, Wiltman seemed to be struggling.

In terms of record, the Knicks were on par with the Cavaliers last season, but they had Ewing next season.

But, just a Ewing, can it really make a big deal?

Let’s take a look at Olajuwon’s situation with the Rockets. It’s not much better without help.

Besides, Bernard King has been reimbursed

"Harry, this is not unacceptable!" Cavaliers head coach George Carl not only did not notice the danger, but also spoke enthusiastically and gave decisive suggestions. "Little Lu traded almost all the combat-capable players in the Knicks for draft picks. He thought he had the future, but the actual situation was that the Knicks' immediate combat power was very weak. Next season, they would definitely be the seventh last. As long as we strive to leave the draw zone, we can exchange them with a relatively back first-round draft pick!"

Wiltman was moved by his words: "Are you sure Ewing can't regain their competitiveness?"

"At least not in the next two years," Carl said affirmatively.

Hearing this, Wiltman thought about it and said to Louis: "Little, okay, I accept your proposal, but you need to give us the right to swap the first round of picks in the next two years."

"No, Harry? Do you really think we who have Patrick Ewing are not competitive in the next two years?"

Louis suspected that Wiltman had Japanese relatives at home, and that he was lucky in the gambling team. He saw who was more competitive and would work for whoever was more competitive.

"Little Lu, do you agree or not? Give me a happy word!"

From the Cavaliers' perspective, it is equivalent to using the Nine draw to exchange for Carterwright's lottery and the next two years of lottery.

But for the Knicks, the same is true, the Cavaliers' draft picks in the next two years will definitely be lottery.

Both parties think that the other party will work for themselves.

For Louis, the Knight is seeking death.

Although it is still far from winning the championship, it is very easy to get out of the Lotto ranks, and it is hard to say about the Cavaliers.

If the other party bargained, he might have to switch the first round of picks next year. Unexpectedly, the other party was even more greedy than him. Not only did he want Carterlett, but he also tried to earn a lotto for free in the next two years?

Then everyone depends on their abilities.

Louise accepted the other party's proposal unsupportantly: "We've made a deal, Harry."

"Now tell me, who do you want to choose in the ninth pick in the first round!"

"No, Harry, please follow the rules and send a fax to the league first."

After saying that, Louis hung up the phone.

Debschel covered his chest, and the executive and the president looked at him.

"I've done it," said Louis.

Wu De slapped the table excitedly: "Okay! What did we get?"

"One No. 9 pick, and two first-round picks with top ten potential."

Kruger asked unexpectedly: "Is the Knight so crazy for a guy who has recovered from a big injury?"

"It can't be said to be crazy. We and the Knights have bet on the future, but I know where the future is, and the Knights can only pray to God." Louis said confidently.

Debscheer asked: "Who will we choose in the ninth pick?"

"You send a fax to the league first."

Among the remaining people on the draft list, the ones worth choosing with the ninth pick are: Schramf, Oakley, and Choudhumas.

In fact, Louis originally wanted to choose only Oakley and Malone.

This shouldn't even be a multiple-choice question.

The top 30 superstars and top blue-collar workers in history, you know how to choose between the top 30 superstars and top blue-collar workers?

What's more, the Knicks and Stockton chose Malone and copied the pick-and-roll system. There is no need to worry about the Knicks' competitiveness in the next 20 years.

This is the best option if there are no Celtics and Jazz who interfere.

In terms of playing style, Malone and Ewing do not conflict, they can both shoot, and one with a fourth position and one with a fifth position is just right. However, if Ewing wants to grow up smoothly, Louis needs a rebounding maniac, a super thug, and a person who can hide Ewing in a fight, let his talent shine, and not let him fall into the shadow. From this perspective, Malone only meets the needs of rebounding.

Since Malone can no longer get it, he has to pay more attention to Ewing's future.

What sparks will Stockton bring to Ewing?

Louis has made the decision.

After a while, the Cavaliers' phone call came.

"Little, it's time." Wiltman asked, "Who do you want?"

"Charles Oakley." Louis said that name.

On the other end of the phone, Harry Wiltman was even happier.

Who did the Knicks choose? He hasn't heard of it.

Oakley is not a popular candidate for this draft, because he plays in the second division. With the strength of the second division, no matter what he plays, he will be discriminated against and underestimated.

But Louis cannot bet on Oakley's pick to fall because the Bulls have the 11th pick in the first round. If he doesn't pick Oakley in the ninth pick, the Bulls will definitely use the 11th pick in the first round.

In front of the TV, David Stern reported the Cavaliers' choice.

Oakley, who didn't know what happened, could only follow the general process, thank God, thanked his family, thanked the Cavaliers for choosing him, and how he would work hard.

He looks like an honest and good man. In fact, the number one villain in the 1990s, the king of fighting, and in the entire history of basketball, he is a pantheon-level thug. Don’t use the James Johnson who is so loud that he is so loud that he is a fierce character. Oakley is the kind of tough guy who can fight and dares to fight. He has been in the league for 20 years, fought countless times, but has never met any rivals.

The story that Louis impressed him the most was in 2001, when Tyron Hill, who played for Philadelphia 76ers, followed the team to the Toronto game. There was no sign. When the two teams were practicing, Oakley walked straight to Tyron Hill, a slap to the other side. The cause of the incident was that Hill owed money and refused to pay it back, so Oak used the slap to deepen his impression.

"Lu, since the deal has been reached, why do you seem unhappy at all?" Kruger asked.

How could they understand? Louis sighed, "Because you don't know what I missed."

After Carterwright was traded, the Bulls did not call again.

The first round between Jerry Klaus and Louis was a familiar face.

Klaus at least knew that Louis was not the kind of foolish person, and Louis saw how cunning Klaus' trading style was.

He likes to play serial condoms, one by one.

Transaction with a, but he doesn't really want something a, because he knows that b wants something like a, so he first trades something like a into his hands and then talks with b about what he really wants.

This is a real dealer.
