Chapter 284 Rodman is here
(Please subscribe, recommend, and monthly tickets)
Rodman is also a very strange player. Even if there are countless strange players in the NBA, Rodman can be regarded as the top one among these countless strange players.
Many things cannot be considered with normal thinking in front of such players. Things like absent from games and training are not considered anything in front of such players. They will beat anyone who doesn’t like you. They will stand on the court and see how their teammates play, etc. These behaviors are just on the court on the team, and there are more outside the court, and there are even more. I can’t count them even if I eat, drink, go for a gamble. I won’t say anything about abnormal things like changing a hairstyle every day. If I don’t change my hairstyle, I will change my hair color every day, etc. As for those extremely strange aesthetics and styles, I won’t say anything about them. In short, everyone doesn’t understand Rodman’s world!
If such a player had not been reluctant to throw him away because of his very strong ability, this guy would have been out of the NBA long ago, and he would have been out of the NBA as far as possible. However, it is obvious that the reason why he was able to stay in the NBA and become an important player in the NBA strong team is naturally that he does have the ability to make everyone unable to give up.
Rodman is a very special player, and his weirdness is the same as his specialness. When the Spurs used Elliott, a new All-Star small forward and the Pistons to exchange Rodman one-on-one, at that time, many people thought that the Spurs had taken advantage of it. Although Elliott was a new All-Star player, who is Rodman? The only person in the league who has won the best defensive player twice as an outside player and an inside player. After a defense, these things were ruthless. The league's rebounding champion. An extremely old inside All-Star.
In this era, it is not easy for outside players to become All-Stars, while it is even more difficult for the same inside players to become All-Stars. In this case, Elliott replaced Rodman, and it seems that the Spurs took a little advantage, but this team that only took advantage after using Rodman for one season found that this was not the case at all.
This guy is indeed strong. He has strong defense and strong rebounding, but his temper is also strong. The team's boss David Robinson has taken all the means but he cannot conquer him. This player who no one in the team can manage is simply lawless. In this case, Rodman is a double-edged sword for the Spurs. He can also hurt himself while hurting others. Especially after the new general manager Vicky took office, he was very unhappy with this extremely special player of the team. As a famous hardcore player in the league, he was very unhappy with the team.
The direct disciple of the head coach Larry Brown, Vicky's temper is equally strong, and the guy Buford, who is the team's help, is also a brother he invited from university and a direct disciple of Larry Brown. It can be said that although Larry Brown has already gone to the Pacers, after Vicky took office, he is really planning to rebuild the iron blood and discipline of Larry Brown in the team. Larry Brown does not like undisciplined players. How can Vicky and Buford like it?
Therefore, it is not news that Vicky or the Spurs want to trade Rodman. They are also very interested in many Rodman teams, but they are extremely worried while they are interested.
This is a very difficult player to use. It is useless for the weak team to hold it in your hands. It is useful for the strong team to be useful but cannot conquer him. After all, even David Robinson was cheated so badly by him. Which boss in the league dares to say that he is better than David Robinson?
Although David Robinson is not the first NBA player now, or he can't even rank the top three players, but he can count players who are better than him in the league and can't even subdue him. How many players in the league can subdue?
Therefore, many strong teams are interested in him, but none of them are willing to offer him a quote, because if this guy is used well, it is really good. If it is used well, it is a possibility that the team can be killed. Moreover, it seems that the probability of using this guy well is much lower than that of using this guy well.
Therefore, after Vicci put this guy on the shelves, there were many people asking for the price, but there was really no one who wanted to trade, and there could not be one. There was one, but Vicci defined it as being here to rob. Bulls general manager Klaus, the famous Grandet in the league, hoped that the Spurs could send Rodman to the Bulls, and he would give the Spurs a super insider. Vilperdo, if Vicci hadn't called when he heard the offer, he would have hit the guy hard on the face with a heavy punch.
Velperdo? Super insider? Can defend, can stand up and grab boards, and is taller than 2.10 meters. He can be an assistant to David Robinson. The key is that he is still a champion-level player and can also come to the Spurs to teach David Robinson how to win the championship.
Let’s not talk about whether Velperdo said so well. If this guy is really so good, he can’t be a thousand-year substitute. Grant is not going to leave. There have been rumors before that Jordan doesn’t like him as he beat him on the training ground. It’s okay that Jordan hasn’t come back. This inside player who averages 4+5 per game can also play a substitute. But when Jordan comes back, this guy will of course get out of here. The Bulls’ general manager actually wants to exchange him for an All-Star inside player like Rodman. This is no longer a robbery, but a waste of money!
Even when he was treating Vicky, the new general manager of the league, it was obvious that there were indeed many general managers in the league, especially the new general managers, but can Vicky be a fool? Of course, it was impossible. What made Vicky very depressed was that he wanted to take Rodman, but after being humiliated by the Bulls and Klaus, he was about to find the person to take over. Finally, after contacting him for a long time, he couldn't contact anyone who was willing to take over.
He even called the Pacers for help from his master Larry Brown, but the Pacers were not interested in Rodman. Their team had two super rookies and a super offensive center in the interior. There was indeed no shortage of Rodman in the interior, and there was even more lack of Rodman on the outside, except for the last two games with the Knicks. Almost all Pacers players performed beautifully in the playoffs. In this case, the Pacers did not have to take Rodman. Moreover, Vicci didn't like Rodman. Can Larry Brown like it?
Finally, the Spurs' general manager reviewed the lap and found that it seemed that the Bulls were the only team that was willing to trade Rodman in the entire league. At this time, the Spurs general manager thought of the secret laughter of the Bulls when he hung up the Claus call. Obviously, the Bulls general manager had already known that the final situation would be like this. Even if Vicky had a low IQ, he was destined to be cheated by him. Unless he was willing to ruin Rodman in the team and destroy the team's chemistry.
Of course, being plotted like this is a very unbearable thing for Vicky, but he really had no choice but to throw Rodman away, so he had to send it to the Bulls. However, the quote given by the Bulls was simply humiliating. Although Rodman was not worth a lot of value, the bottom team did not need it. Ordinary strong teams could not subdue him. Most of the super strong teams were incomplete. Even if they were slightly incomplete, they were more willing to choose others to supplement them, even if they were not as strong as Rodman. After all, this was safer. Although the league's insiders were also popular now, there was never a shortage of excellent insiders, such as the Magic, Grant and Rodman. Who would they choose? Of course it was Grant.
Therefore, although Rodman is the best defensive player in the league, rebounder, champion player, and a veteran All-Star player, this guy is not as valuable as a three-point shooter. Vicky's requirements are actually not high. As long as he can give him a mid-range pick, it's fine, but even such a requirement, no one can satisfy him.
If I hadn't seen news all over the United States yesterday, crazy satirizing that the Lakers' starting inside line was the weakest starting inside line in NBA history, the Spurs' general manager wouldn't have come to Los Angeles in person.
It's right for the Lakers to be a weak team, it's useless for ordinary weak teams to get Rodman, but can the Lakers be an ordinary weak team? This team is a bottom team with ambitious ambitions. Generally, weak teams with few ideals do not have any demand for Rodman, but the Lakers are different. They got Lin Han, who is willing to come to the Lakers, not to show off. In this case, this team must use any means to make the team stronger.
However, with the current strength of this team, those relatively strong free agents will basically retreat. It is difficult for the Lakers to supplement high-quality players. In this case, Rodman's Qiuyun is more attractive.
I have to say that Klaus thinks that Vicky is an idiot, which is indeed a bit over the past. The new general manager of the Spurs is definitely not an idiot. An idiot can discover business opportunities from the garbage when the whole world mocks the Lakers' garbage!
When he came to the Lakers' general manager's office with Jerry West, there were already three people in the office. Two of them Lin Han knew, one was Bill Bateka, the current Lakers' coach, and the other was Vicky, the general manager of the Spurs. As for the other person who looked in his forties, Lin Han did not recognize him until after Jerry West introduced him. This guy who looked a little silent was Jerry West's direct disciple. Jerry West had trained him for almost ten years. If Jerry West was the real emperor of the Lakers, then this guy named Mickey Mpuchek was the prince of the Lakers.
Whether it is the team's general experience, Kupchek or the team's acting coach Bill Bateka, these are all direct lines of Jerry West's direct line. Bill Bateka was the Lakers coach before Bass joined the Lakers. He was Chamberlain's training coach back then, and now he is the Lakers' senior consultant and scout director. As for the team's head coach, he is the agent. Now the Lakers are still looking for a new coach, and seem to be hesitating whether to find another one or let the Magician serve as the part of the team. The Magician said that he will never come back if he doesn't give him the position of head coach.
Of course, the Magician's words are more like acting cute. As the beloved player of the domineering CEO Jerry West, he can indeed act cute and make requests in front of Jerry West. However, from this we can also see how deeply rooted the Lakers general manager is in this team. The team, from fans, players, to the first person in the team's history, and to the management of the team, are all his people. Now Jerry West has introduced a team boss like Lin Han who seems to have a close relationship with him and the Magic. As the team's boss, seeing the team in this situation, I'm afraid I can't sleep well.
At this time, in the Lakers General Manager's office, Lin Han came in and greeted the Lakers' big guys and sat down on the side and looked at the cramped Vicci with a smile on his face. It has to be said that Jerry West was quite kind in front of Lin Han. But after entering his office and sternly looking, his domineering aura was indeed extremely intimidating, which made Vicci, who had been chatting and laughing with Kupchek and Bilbertka before, also became a little cramped.
This time he came to the Lakers to seek a deal. Vicci hoped that his guess was correct. After all, although he guessed that the Lakers would have a strong desire for powerful players, it depends on who it is. If it is an ordinary powerful player, it would be fine. But this is Rodman!
When he thought of this, Vicci, who was a little embarrassed, subconsciously glanced at Lin Han after Jerry West sat in his position. If the Lakers were really willing to take over Rodman, then Lin Han would need to tame Rodman. Can this little guy Lin Han do? For a moment, Vicci also had a lot of thoughts. Lin Han has a big name, but it may not be possible to tame Rodman. If Lin Han does not have confidence, or the Lakers do not have confidence in Lin Han taming Rodman. Then even if the Lakers have a strong sense of hunger for powerful players, it is difficult for them to take over Rodman as a pit guy.
Thinking of Elliott winning the sixth man in the Jazz at this time. Thinking about Rodman’s actions in the team at this time, Vicky really had the urge to cry. In the deal with the Pistons, the Pistons must have thought he had made money, and the Spurs also thought he had made money, but in the end he found that the person who really made money was not the Spurs or the Pistons, but the Jazz. Who should I ask for reason?!
"Greg, I've read your deal application. Do you want our No. 12 draft pick? Do you think Rodman is worth the price?"
After Jerry West sat down in his seat, he took the transaction report handed over by Kupchek, glanced at Vicky with a smile and said lightly, and he also delivered the transaction report in his hand to Lin Han.
When Jereh West asked this, Vic was also suffocated because he didn't know what Jerh West was thinking. Vic's face was a little nervous. After looking at Vic's expression at this time, Lin Han took the transaction report and looked at it, and was also a little surprised.
The Spurs sent Rodman and the league's first scorer that year. The contract this season is about to expire and will become a free agent soon. Dale Ellis exchanged for the Lakers' inside player Sam Poway and the Lakers' No. 12 draw.
The conditions for this transaction are actually not bad. Although Rodman's trade is not worth much, at most it is only a mid-round draft pick in the first round, Sam Powell is a small pit for the Lakers. This player who pitted the Trail Blazers on the NBA's history's shame pillar was an extremely famous negative textbook in the league. It is a negative textbook that is as famous as the Jazz's Polyns. In 1984, the Trail Blazers gave up Jordan in order to choose Sam Polyns, which is considered to be the stupidest draft in NBA history. After the Supersonics chose Pippen, they exchanged Pippen for the excellent physical condition at that time. Polyns is considered the stupidest draft trade in league history. Of course, Polyns performed wildly in the Jazz's finals this season, defending Ewing, one of the three major centers in the league, and Sam Polyns has washed away the shame.
Of course, Bowie's trick is not to say that he is not strong enough. On the contrary, Bowie is very strong and very good. At least in this world where the inside is strong, as long as he stays healthy, Bowie is also competitive. The key is health. This is also the reason why the Lakers were willing to get him and give him an annual salary of more than 3 million yuan. However, after coming to the Lakers, he has never seen him healthy. In recent times, Los Angeles media have forgotten him when mocking the Lakers inside. Who knows how many games this guy can play next season?
For many other teams in the league, an inside player who earns more than three million yuan an annual salary and rarely plays, even if he is strong, he can only be a burden. After all, the league's salary cap is only 15 million yuan now. More than three million yuan is more than one-fifth, which is the maximum salary in the league. In most teams in the league, the annual salary is already the highest salary.
So although Sam Bowie only has one year left for the contract, it is also a garbage contract. The Spurs are willing to exchange Rodman for the No. 12 pick and are willing to take over a garbage contract. This is indeed sincere, at least for most teams.
However, it is obvious that the Lakers are not one of most teams. For teams like the Lakers and the Knicks, not to mention a garbage contract that only has one year in a contract, even a garbage contract that has 10 years is not a burden. After all, there is no luxury tax now. The team has money and can be willful if they have money. Otherwise, Jerry West would not have come to Lin Han for the sake of a transaction. He eats so many garbage contracts.
As long as they can improve their strength, what is a garbage contract? For the Spurs, their willingness to eat a garbage contract is equivalent to losing a draft pick in the late first round. A garbage contract like Sam Bowie can now be equivalent to a draft pick in the late first round, so the Spurs used a draft pick in the late first round, Garrodman for the draft pick in the 12th first round. As for Dale Ellis, the top scorer in the league that year, it was just to balance the trading salary space. The Spurs had never thought about renewing him. Naturally, it was worthless.
According to the equivalent exchange, a first-round No. 12 draft pick is exchanged for Rodman and a draft pick in the late first round. The Lakers did not lose, and both sides were considered equivalent transactions, but it is obvious that for the Lakers, a real first-round draft pick is much more important than Bowie's garbage contract. If an equivalent exchange like Vicky, the Lakers are willing to swallow 10 garbage contracts for 10 first-round draft picks. For the Lakers, having money is so willful.
So this equivalent formula of Vicky can be established in most teams in the league, such as the 76ers, Clippers, Hornets. These teams have participated in the Jazz and Lakers' transactions before. After sending away many garbage contracts, they also gave out lottery-protected first-round picks?
Therefore, when thinking about this, Lin Han, who had originally frown, also had a playful smile on his face at this time.
Rodman, this guy Lin Han really wants to be a player who can improve the Lakers' strength, but Vic wants to take advantage of the Lakers. Although Sam Bowie is a garbage contract, it depends on if he can't get on next season. If he can be healthy next season, then he will not be a garbage contract, and the Spurs can make more money by then.
"This guy looks a little honest, and he didn't expect that he is not a good person either."
When Lin Han thought of this, he also smiled secretly in his heart, but it was obvious that it was not that simple for Wizard to take advantage of the Lakers. Without asking Lin Han to wait for long, Jerry West quickly made a final decision on Wizard's deal application.
“I agree with this deal in principle”
Jerry West looked at Vicky who was a little nervous at this time and said lightly. It would be strange if Vicky was not nervous at this time. However, after hearing Jerry West's words, the Spurs head coach, who was originally a little nervous, was ecstatic for a moment, but before Vicky had been ecstatic for a long time, Jerry West spoke again.
"However, there are some places that need to be adjusted for this offer. Alice and Rodman can exchange Savi and No. 12 draws, but you need to give a lottery-protected first round pick in the future."
After Jerry West finished speaking, the expression on Vicky's face became a little interesting. After a long time, he still did not fool Jerry West and the Lakers. Seeing Vicky's almost constipated expression at this time, Lin Han almost laughed out loud.
"You can think about it, but I think you don't have much time left. Tomorrow is the draft. I think you should already have a player you like."
Seeing that he was hesitant at this time, Vicky was fucked by force but was fucked. Jerry West also smiled. Although he didn't know much about Klaus robbing Vicky, he also knew one thing. Although he was not as sarcastic as Klaus, he could not be fooled by a junior. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to say it out. Jerry West still needs face.
"Okay, we agree"
I have to say that Vicci is a very independent and decisive person. After his face changed and he was struggling for a while, he nodded fiercely. The general manager of the Spurs agreed to Jerry West's request.
When the Lakers and Spurs trade was completed, Lin Han also shook his head with a bitter smile when he watched the Spurs general manager leave Jerry West's office with a slightly frustrated back.
"Lin, the bargaining chips we gave are actually very good. If it were other old guys, in the face of this situation, this guy might have been cheated to death."
After Vic left and looked at Lin Han, Jerry West said with a smile.
"I know, it takes a price to pay for young people."
After Lin Han finished speaking, Jerry West also nodded with a smile.
Don't think that only players in the world are full of players, and there are many veterans who cheat. The same is true in the management world, and it may even be even darker. Compared with the more unconventional Bulls general manager Klaus Jerry West, it is indeed a good person. Although it was a small robbery of Vicky, overall it is still equivalent to exchange. The trading plan proposed by Vicky. As long as Bove is healthy next season, the Spurs will make a big profit, and now the Lakers' trading plan is that Bovey is healthy next season, the Spurs will not lose, and they will even make a profit.
Of course, the Spurs are now trading Rodman to the Lakers, but Rodman has long since nowhere to go to the resort at this time. Even if he is traded, I'm afraid he will have to wait until the start of training camp next season before he can come back. And according to this guy's urinary nature, it's hard to say that he can't come back when the training camp is open.
If Lin Han was not the boss of the team and did not need to participate in the team's decision-making, Lin Han might have been on vacation at this time. However, it is obvious that at least this season, for the results of next season and for the Lakers to get a very scammed lineup at this time, Lin Han could not go on vacation.
"Dale Ellis, another striker swinger"
When Lin Han left the Lakers' work building and returned to his home, he thought that another player who came from the Spurs traded also smiled a little interestingly.
The Lakers are short of other players now, but they are not short of the second and third positions. It seems that the Lakers' No. 10 draft pick Jerry West told Lin Han that he also has a second and third position player.
In addition, Lin Han called Bowen yesterday and hoped that Bowen would return to the NBA and come to the Lakers to help him. If Bowen really came back from Europe, I'm afraid the Lakers' second and third positions would be terrifying. However, judging from Bowen's tone, this guy seems to have not learned it, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to come back this season.
"Ali, let's draw"
After Lin Han returned home, he didn't wait long before he came to the system space. Now Lin Han has a lot of system items, including his own attributes, training cards, fusion cards, skill points, etc. Of course, the most important thing is naturally a purple-gold milestone and a golden milestone.
The Purple and Gold Milestone has a 100% chance to draw the Purple and Gold skills from the Purple and Gold players, and the Golden Milestone has a 90% chance to draw the Purple and Gold skills from the Purple and Gold players.
According to Lin Han's design, the skills used to draw purple and gold milestones will lose. Perhaps the purple and gold players' purple and gold skills are stronger than the purple and gold skills of golden players, but they still lose.
In this case, Lin Han’s design is a special lottery for purple and gold milestones, while the golden milestones are just about drawing skills from the golden legendary players.
Originally, Lin Han didn't want to draw at this time. After all, the Lakers' lineup has not been built yet. Who knows what role the Lakers need him to play?
If the Lakers need more organizational passes by Lin Han, Lin Han will use the golden special golden lottery opportunity exchanged for the purple and gold milestone, and exchange all the lottery items for talent categories, hoping to draw a talent in the organizational category. However, if the Lakers do not need Lin Han’s organization, but need Lin Han to score crazy points or do other things, then Lin Han’s choice will be different.
However, when Rodman's deal was completed and the structure of Lakers players was gradually formed, the things that Lin Han had to bear were basically clear. Although this team lacked the inside line now, in the current NBA, it was difficult for Lin Han to really play in the inside line when facing a strong team, unless he encountered Barkley like that.
Therefore, Lin Han has discovered that if he doesn't have a little bit of organizational talent, this Lakers will probably kill him next season.
If Lin Han wants to have organizational skills instead of assists, he must at least have a vision skill. If he wants to have vision skills, he needs to upgrade the system first and improve the ball quotient attributes. Lin Han does not want to upgrade the system now. In this case, if he wants to play organization, he cannot count on vision skills, but can only count on vision talent.
Vision skills can drive some advanced passes, and vision talent can also be achieved!
"Are you going to specify the item type or a regular special lottery?"
"A lottery for designated talent items!"
After Lin Han finished speaking, Aili was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Lin Han really wanted to bet on luck. You should know that the most likely thing that was the five items were golden items, the other three were bronze-level special items! If this really happened, you would definitely be cheated to death!
However, seeing Lin Han's extremely firm eyes at this time, Aili nodded as well. With a wave of his little hand in the void, a small five-grid special lottery roulette appeared in the void. When Aili and Lin Han saw the items on the roulette, they were almost all shocked!
1. Powerfulness is infinite (power-type talent)
2. Thunder and Thunder (comprehensive talent)
3. Micro-touch (scopic-like talent)
4. Wind and Lightning (Excellent Speed Talent)
5. Instant Perception (Extraordinary Vision Type)
The reason why Lin Han was shocked was that he finally saw a talent of vision, and Aili was shocked that among the five talents, three golden talents actually appeared!! (To be continued...)
