"He is not a good choice." Black Dolan said: "The information shows that he is an alcoholic and even has a history of drug abuse. His character is very flawed."
"But the data also shows that this guy has amazing talent and is omnipotent at the power forward position. His attack range can reach beyond the three-point line. At the same time, he has fast footsteps that are comparable to those of a small forward and excellent defensive ability. In addition to his personality and
Attitude, you can't find any shortcomings in his skills, and the most important thing is, he's young enough," Sam Presti said.
"That's what I want to say. No matter how outstanding his skills are, his disgusting history proves that he is not what we need." Blake Dolan said firmly.
"Before you make a decision, take a look at this information." Sam Presti motioned to Daryl Morey to hand a piece of information to Blake Dolan:
"Although this guy had bad records in high school and college, they were limited to fighting. His records of alcoholism and drug abuse started last year, and then he completely deteriorated this year. Now, the Houston Rockets have no good impressions of him.
, but they would only advise this guy to quit drinking or even taking drugs, but they ignored why Eddie Griffin became like this. The Houston Rockets and those experts believed that it was because this poor kid entered the league and got a lot of money.
Lost, but I don’t think so, because the information collected by Daryl is obviously more detailed than theirs. The guy’s brother, Powell Griffin, died of a sudden heart attack, which was the root of this guy’s depravity. You are a psychologist.
It’s not clear what this means.”
"Faith collapsed." Blake Doran flipped through the information and said: "When someone's belief pillar collapses, he needs to anesthetize himself and let alcohol or drugs numb his guilt or sadness. But, are you sure this person named Powell
Is it Eddie Griffin’s spiritual pillar?”
"Eddie Griffin's learning of basketball was completely supported by his brother Powell. That guy has always encouraged Eddie Griffin since he was a child and gave countless suggestions, such as telling Eddie Griffin not to enter the NBA too quickly.
It is entirely possible to play another year in college to gain experience, but because of this incident, Eddie Griffin had a falling out with his brother. He did not listen to Powell's advice and declared his participation in the NBA draft that year. Last year, Powell suddenly
After suffering a heart attack, the strange thing was that Powell's last call was not to the emergency center, but to his brother, Eddie Griffin. Eddie Griffin did not answer the call, so he was at the funeral.
After learning about the phone call, he burst into tears. He thought he had killed Powell. He felt guilty for the dead people. From then on, he began to use alcohol to anesthetize himself, and became withdrawn and eventually developed into drug abuse. However,
He is not so addictive yet, we can save him, psychologically, you as a coach can enlighten him, but in training, we need our oak daddy to whip him." Sam Presti in Black
Dolan introduced while flipping through the information.
"Are you sure the head coach's guidance is effective? That guy has developed to driving a truck and masturbating," Blake Dolan said.
"You can treat him as your mental patient and cure him, and you will gain huge gains. Even if he cannot be cured, we won't lose much by giving up on him. He is still on a rookie contract. But he masturbates.
The problem isn't a breakdown in faith, it's a matter of our oak daddy telling him to masturbate at the right time!" said Sam Presti.
"Okay, I can try." Black Dolan said, lighting a cigarette.
Next to him, Charles Oakley obviously seemed to be getting a fun toy: "Bring that kid to the Knicks! I will make him happy! Do you think you can spend a lot of money after making a lot of money? Let me tell him that his salary is
It’s not even enough to buy me a bottle of wine! I didn’t feel like I owned the whole world when my annual salary was several million! That bastard really dares to think! He is satisfied with the pitiful salary of his rookie contract! I will tell him what the difference is!
"….
"Okay, let's talk about the next one. I think if Black has always wanted a tougher forward, maybe Stephen Jackson from the Spurs last season can enter our sights. He became a restricted free agent this summer. However, the Spurs did not
Instead of giving him the big contract he wanted, he was sent to the Hawks. In the same predicament, the Hawks didn't intend to give him a big contract, but they have the right to match other teams' offers. We might be able to try to get him. He is that kind of guy.
Players who are ready to fight can at least contribute immediately when they come to the team, which is much better than the guys we have on the bench now." Sam Presti said: "And, as someone who works for the Spurs,
Stephen Jackson's character is very straightforward and easy to get close to. As long as you are sincere to him and let him like him, he will work hard to play for you, because he has been working hard to prove that he did not rely on Tim Duncan to get the championship ring.
A team that needs cleaning, he would be interested in."
"How big a contract can we give him? Or, do you know how big a contract the Eagles plan to give him?" Blake Dolan said. Stephen Jackson is indeed a good choice. If he is available, at least he will not be better than the small forward position.
Shandon Anderson came on as a walk-on. As for Sprewell, he can't wait for the start of next season.
"Judging from the salary and the current situation of the Hawks, they may only give a short contract of one year, which will not exceed 3 million. This number is the limit that the Hawks can recognize, because they want to leave a big contract for Jason Terry.
, at the same time, there are Glenn Robinson and Theo Ratliff on the team, and their situation is not much better than ours. Compared with them, our salary space is much larger, of course, this depends on Spreeway
After you leave." Sam Presti seemed well prepared before this meeting.
"Are there any teams interested in Sprewell?" Blake Dolan asked.
"For our Mr. Madman, the teams with the greatest interest include the Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs. However, you can also imagine that the bargaining chips they offered cannot attract us. The Sacramento Kings are willing to give us
We have Bobby Jackson and two additions. The Minnesota Timberwolves are willing to give us their power forward Joe Smith. This player is good, but obviously does not match our Mr. Madman. The Spurs are more straightforward and are willing to use Malik Rose and Bruce Bowen.
Mr. Madman, who took over our average of 16 points per game, completely regarded us as a substitute recycling bin. Well, these three are the most interested at present. The other teams are waiting for our next move. By the way, although Alan Houston's
The contract is scary, but because of his outstanding performance last season, many teams are interested in him, and averaging 23 points per game is an attractive enough number." Sam Presti said.
"Other than taking advantage of the situation, it seems that the other teams do nothing. They don't care if they look ugly?" Blake Dolan put the information on the table and said in a mocking tone.
