When the meeting ended, Rodney Hurd left muttering, Daryl Morey packed up the information and returned to his office, and Blake Dolan put his legs on the table, leaned back, and looked at Sarah next to him.
MPresti asked:
"I think we can impress Sterling, but what do we do with the sixth pick? I don't think it's a good idea to draft with such a good pick. It's a bit wasteful."
Sam Presti took out a small Rubik's Cube from his pocket. It had been his hobby for many years. Whenever he needed to think, he would take out the Rubik's Cube and twist it unconsciously in his hand:
"The draft is the stupidest way to use this pick. Trade it. Countless teams will need this pick, and those teams also have what we need. Before that, I suggest placing those who are late in the lottery.
Some players came to the Knicks for workouts, and then praised them crazily to the media, trying to convince them that this year's draft would be more dazzling than that of 1996, and the players would be more talented."
"Who is the most charming player we have? There is no doubt that Kurt Thomas, he is in the best moment of his career now. In fact, I don't want to trade him, but I need to use him to package those damn bastards."
Let's go!" said Blake Dolan, lighting a cigarette. He did not want to trade Kurt Thomas. This insider supported the Knicks' penalty area after Ewing left, and he showed enough toughness against O'Neal twice last season.
He was even elected Eastern Conference Player of the Month twice.
"Not everyone has the appetite to eat Kurt Thomas. You know, his contract is in the last year and is as high as 9.7 million. Only those players who urgently need inside players will consider him. And have you ever thought about it,
If we don't find a new team to accept him, how much will we pay for him after the new season? A big man who averages close to a double-double per game." Sam Presti said while playing with the Rubik's Cube.
"I know, but it makes me sick to think that soon we're going to be eaten like a feast on the table by those assholes from other teams!" Blake Dolan said: "Well, I mean expensive in the paint.
Today, we are looking for some inside players who are still on their rookie contracts, shit! Do you have any good way to clean up the pile of garbage on the team right away?"
"No, no one in this league is a philanthropist or a garbage collector. You'd better be prepared to be saddled with a garbage contract, because no one will do business with you at a loss," Sam Presti said.
"Done!" Sheldon Cooper looked up and glanced at Sam Presti: "I got the information about the players of Tau Ceramics Club and Barcelona Club!"
"Good job! Sheldon! Send that information to Daryl! Let him analyze it as soon as possible! Although the offseason has just begun, there is not enough time left for us!" Sam Presti stopped immediately
Holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Sheldon Cooper and said.
"You want to move Carlos Navarro's idea? I remember that the Spaniard was selected by the Washington Wizards last year, but stayed in Barcelona." Blake Dolan looked at Sam Presti and said.
"When you have a lot of junk contracts, you need to use your brains on how to find players from overseas who can play for you. They need to prove themselves in the NBA, so the price is low." Sam Presti said: "Early on
I studied Carlos Navarro myself when I was with the Spurs. That guy had a deep affection for Barcelona, and Barcelona didn’t want their prince to play for a small team in that damn place in Washington. But it’s different now. This is New York.
, a city countless times more dazzling than Barcelona, and as long as we can satisfy Barcelona's buyout fee and the appetite of the Washington Wizards, it is not impossible for this top shooter in Europe to appear at Madison Stadium. What we have to do now is to let Dali
I'm going to analyze all the information on this guy and see if he will be a good fit for the Knicks."….
"Then why is there still Tau Ceramics Club? Do you want to rob Spain's two giants at the same time?" Black Dolan asked uncertainly.
"Why not! Now that it's crazy enough, let's get a little crazier. Tau Ceramics Club is a giant in ACB and has as many talents as Barcelona. This is why I asked Sheldon Cooper to find information on all their players, including
The youth team is cheap, but has immediate combat effectiveness. Unlike the rookies in the draft, those players have played in the European League. The only question is whether Daryl is capable enough to screen for us, and whether they
Can survive in the NBA." Sam Presti said with a smile.
"I think you should do something now, such as finishing the Clippers first." Black Dolan stood up and walked to the door before saying: "Sometimes I really doubt that you are a crazier guy than me at heart."
Sam Presti stopped rotating the Rubik's Cube, and the perfect hexahedron of the Rubik's Cube was displayed in his hand. He glanced at Blake Dolan and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Black Dolan gave him a helpless look and was about to walk outside when Sam Presti stopped him:
"Okay, Mr. Knicks head coach, I suggest you consider your coaching staff during this period, because right now, you are the only one on the entire Knicks coaching staff."
"What do you recommend?" Black Dolan turned around and looked at Sam Presti.
"No old guy will come to help you, but you can find some Knicks veterans, such as Patrick Ewing. Even if you just let him be responsible for coaching the inside, at least New York fans will still be happy to see their hero stay, because I
I received news that both the Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic are interested in asking Patrick Ewing to serve as assistant coach." Sam Presti pushed up his glasses and said.
"Okay, I'll keep this Knicks hero, but can you tell me, is there any tactical assistant coach willing to come to the Knicks?" Blake Dolan asked: "Or am I the only one who studies the damn tactics?
"
"It seems that you really need to study the damn tactics alone, because those old foxes can't possibly want to work under a young man." Sam Presti said.
"I knew it! If possible, would I also invite Charles Oakley to join the coaching staff? With these two guys as bodyguards, I can even come in and out of the White House at will!" Blake Dolan's headache is not that he lacks an inside coach or a coach.
Assistant coach, but the chief tactical assistant coach who can really help him.
"If you can invite Daddy Oak, of course it would be best. He is not just a villain, he is a very, very smart villain. Believe me, what I say is true." Sam Presti said with a smile.
"When I find them, we will invite them together, because I don't want to have my balls smashed by that rogue old dog Oakley! The problem is that guy is still playing basketball! Man! He hasn't retired yet!" Blackmore
Lan said.
"If you show up with Patrick Ewing in front of him, he can do the thing of retiring immediately! Ever since that Patrick Ewing guy became an assistant coach with the Wizards, Charles Oakley has said more than once that he also wants to get an assistant coach.
