The Rest, Only Noise

Vol 2 Chapter 1573: BossLu

i'k

This sentence became the headlines of the major media, and many famous sports writers used it as a headline to welcome Louie's return.

It has been six years since Louie last coached. This period of time is not long or short, but for some fans who have just contacted the NBA in recent years, they don't know what Legendlu's return means.

For a while, the national media were brainwashing Louis' achievements. From the summer of 1983 to the summer of 2000, despite the three-year window period from 1993 to 1996, in 14 years, Louis won 11 championships. Accumulated 970 wins and 231 losses.

Whether it is the number of championships won or the winning percentage of coaching, Louis is the king of kings. "Sports Illustrated" directly called Louie the goat in the introduction article of his return, and super Kemi Bill Simmons gleefully stated that Legendlu's record of 1,000 wins will be achieved with the Celtics.

For the league, Louie's comeback has some rules to patch.

First, Louie is the boss.

There is no precedent for a boss coaching in history.

Wouldn't it be messed up if there were other bosses who wanted to become NBA coaches as soon as they got hot?

Therefore, after Louie came back, the league made a patch for this. Starting from the 2006-07 season, all head coaches in the NBA need to pass the assessment of the coaches union to receive a coaching certificate.

As for the coaches who have coached in the NBA before 2007, the unified default is that they have obtained the coaching certificate.

This patch stops other bosses from imitating Louie at the root.

Of course, if there is a boss who has obtained a coaching certificate, what's the big deal about letting him coach? Obtaining a certificate shows that he is very professional, and a professional boss is also a good thing for the team.

In August, Louie officially became the head coach of the Celtics. At the press conference, he revealed that his term of office would be three years.

As for the goal, of course there is only the championship.

There are also reporters who pointedly mentioned how to deal with the father-son relationship with Lu Wuxia when coaching the team.

Louie said professionally: "There are no fathers and sons in the team, only coaches and players."

Louie's return has reassured many Celtics fans.

This is the best replacement for Bird they can think of.

The only thing to worry about is whether Louis will be unfamiliar with coaching after six years away from the front line.

But this worry was quickly overshadowed by Louie's achievements.

The first thing Louie needs to deal with after taking office is the trade application of Carlos Delfino and Ersan Ilyasova.

They think they have the ability to play in the NBA, but they will not get a chance to play if they stay in the Celtics, so they hope that the team will trade them to a place where they can play.

Louie appreciates this kind of player who proposes a peaceful breakup without making a fuss.

Therefore, Louie actively contacted the team for them.

Delfino and Ilyasova didn't play many NBA games during their time with the Celtics, but they played a lot in the Development League. Whether they played in the NBA or the Development League, their styles were very distinctive .

The biggest feature is that they all shoot with one hand.

These days, those who can make stable three-pointers and open up space for star players will have a meal.

The Indiana Pacers heard the news.

After friendly negotiations, the two parties finally reached an agreement.

Celtics send Carlos Delfino, Ersan Ilyasova and Jose Calderon back from Pacers for Zaza Pachulia and a 2009 first-round pick and 2007 and 2008 second-round pick.

Louis didn't intend to send Calderon away, but he got a message.

The Greek defender Vassilis Spanoulis, who was selected by the team a few years ago, decided to land in the NBA. Therefore, in order to move the Greek Kobe, Calderon was simply sent together.

The Celtics have slimmed down the lineup. On the other hand, each NBA team has changed to varying degrees.

For example, the New York Knicks refused to provide a maximum salary pension contract for Chris Webber who used the player option.

It is said that James Dolan's attitude made Webber furious. He suffered a stress fracture for the Knicks and ended up trading it back?

If you consider it from a human point of view, the Knicks are indeed ruthless.

But if you consider it from the perspective of money, you can fully understand what the Knicks have done.

The Knicks already have McGrady and Hill with two maximum salaries on their books. Now, the rookie contracts of Zach Randolph and Samuel Dalembert have also expired. Stay in New York.

Although the Knicks can take five maximum salaries, doing so will blow up the salary cap, so for the sake of their own wallets, they can only live up to Webber's loyalty, and Dolan will bear the infamy.

Weber thought to himself, you are not benevolent and I am not righteous.

He originally wanted to join the Knicks' biggest opponent in the Eastern Conference-the Miami Heat directly.

Just when the Heat's management was preparing to welcome Webber with a sliding knee, the Lakers in the West provided a more feasible plan.

The Lakers are willing to give Webber a maximum salary pension contract.

But they don't have cap space.

Under the terms of the new broadcast agreement concluded in the summer of 2006, the "freedom to travel" rule that had been in place since the 1990s was amended.

According to the original rules, once you become a free agent, if the team you join does not have enough salary space, you can recruit a third party to make a transfer in the form of a sign-for-swap.

But doing so has inadvertently left room for the resurgence of superteams to maneuver.

As a result, the rules were adjusted under a new collective bargaining agreement.

The "free travel" rule only applies to players over the age of 30.

Webber is 33 years old this year, and he naturally complies with the rules.

It's already August, and many teams don't have enough cap space.

Louis smelled an opportunity to make a profit.

Also, the Celtics have space.

The Celtics have only reached a verbal agreement with Pau Gasol at present, and they will not officially sign the contract until he returns from vacation in Spain, so they only have the two maximum salaries of Yao Yueban and Alan Houston on their accounts.

After the new labor agreement took effect, the salary space increased by 11 million US dollars, and the Celtics have room to sign Webber naked.

Louis took the initiative to come up and negotiate with the Lakers.

The Lakers will add Rasheed Wallace to the deal, but as a sign-and-exchange tool, the Celtics are naturally asking for more.

Louie is not interested in players, but he is very interested in the first round of the Lakers.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the team that builds bridges for superstars will get at least 2-3 first-round picks in return.

This made the Lakers hesitate.

Because Webber is 33 years old and has just suffered a stress fracture, is it really necessary to send him Rasheed Wallace plus a few first-round picks?

It's a gamble.

There's so much instability in Rasheed Wallace that it's like a ticking time bomb.

The Lakers already have Artest as a ticking time bomb, and it was a last resort to use Rasheed Wallace last season. Now that there are better options, there is no reason not to change. Even if it is for the stability of the team, it is worth it.

"Old Lu, you've been ruthless enough, you'll be blacklisted in the future, there's something wrong with the bottle."

After Zhao Yuanzheng left these words, he reached an agreement with Louis.

The Los Angeles Lakers sent Rasheed Wallace, first-round picks in 2007, 2009, and 2011, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com got Chris Webber from the Boston Celtics.

After Rasheed Wallace got his hands, Louis didn't even look at the other party's medical report, and continued to make deals.

The Celtics have enough insiders, they don't need to roar Tianzun.

Louie's offer is clear: Rasheed Wallace, 2 first-rounders, 1 first-rounder

Change, private me who is interested.

Rashid

· Wallace is unattractive, but a 2-1 first-round swap is unusual for a rebuilding team.

The New Orleans Hornets came up, and they were willing to use Mike Dunleavy to take over.

Dunleavy is a tall swingman. This offer is very much in Louis's mind. The two sides hit it off and the deal was concluded immediately.

Boston Celtics send Rasheed Wallace, 2007 first round (Lakers), 2010 first round and 2011 first round swap to New Orleans for Mike Dunleavy.

So far, the Celtics' offseason operations have been completed.

Interested people found out that Louis actually hoarded 5 first-round picks in 2009. What is Bosslu trying to do? The 2009 draft is still early, should we start preparing now? Louis didn't say anything else, so he died down and waited patiently for the arrival of the preseason training camp.
