Chapter 114: 113: Add two more fierce players to the Lakers who quietly become stronger(1/3)

Chapter 114 113: The Lakers have quietly become stronger with the addition of two more strong players (thanks to Xiaoyao? Suixin’s 9000 reward)

"The logo is too much, Divac must stay today.

If he leaves, I won’t do it anymore!”

In the Lakers' general manager's office, Dunleavy couldn't believe that the man with the logo actually wanted to trade Divac.

Dunleavy originally thought that Divac's firefighter-like performance in the last quarter of Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs would win him the favor of the management.

Unexpectedly, the team is still thinking about trading him.

Moreover, the target of the trade is actually Trail Blazers player Clifford Robinson, who just lost in the finals!

Dunleavy just didn't understand. Apart from being the backdrop for Jordan's show, does this guy have any dazzling qualities?

Is it worth trading Divac for a power forward who averages 12 points per game?

Logo looked at Dunleavy in disbelief, "Are you threatening me?"

Then let’s make an agreement and have double happiness!

However, Logo still saved some face for Dunleavy and did not say this out loud.

He just waved his hand:

"Don't talk so much, I think Carlisle is right.

We need big men who can shoot and are athletic.

This is perfect for Shay.

Clifford Robinson has strong athletic ability and is very active defensively.

Although he can't stand up to centers like Olajuwon and Ewing, who in the league can stand up to them?

With his arrival, the team's fast attack will be smoother.

And don't forget, that guy has the potential to make three-pointers.

If this is the case, Shay's room for breakthrough will be too great.

I think Robinson is indeed the best fit for Shay.

Matching a lineup is just like finding a wife, beauty is not the most important thing.

Suitability is the most important thing.”

Seeing that the Logo Man had already made his decision, Dunleavy was a little angry.

As a head coach, I don’t even have the right to retain a key player?

In fact, it would be fine if only the Logo Man made this decision alone, but the key issue of trading Divac was originally spoken out by Carlisle.

I would rather listen to Carlisle, the assistant coach, than listen to me, the head coach.

Who does this team listen to?

Carlisle: Let's discuss it, whether it's serious or not.

Not only the matter of trading Divac, but also during the game, Dunleavy felt that Carlisle had greater decision-making power than himself.

Shay also seems to have a better relationship with Carlisle.

Dunleavy suddenly felt that he seemed particularly redundant!

It just so happens that Dunleavy's contract expires this season.

The Milwaukee Bucks, his old team when he was an assistant coach, have also offered him an olive branch.

Let him be the head coach and deputy general manager of football operations!

Dunleavy would have agreed to the Bucks a long time ago if he hadn't considered the Lakers' bigger market.

Now that the logo is so ruthless, Dunleavy also directly shows off:

"Seriously Jerry, I don't agree with this deal.

Divac is an important part of the team, if you trade him, I will leave immediately!"

Dunleavy is not only fighting for Divac, but also fighting for his rights as the head coach.

Logo's eyes became serious. You kid turned your nose on your face, didn't you?

"Shay is the most important part of the team.

Everyone else can be put on the shelf."

After hearing this, Dunleavy also knew what Logo Man meant.

There is no need to discuss this matter.

Dunleavy nodded and stood up: "I quit."

After that, he walked out of Logo Man's office.

Everyone in Carlisle is stupid, that's not it.

Wasn’t everything fine just now?

Why is this Dunleavy acting like a high school girl, getting emotional whenever she wants?

He looked at the logo with fierce eyes and hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

"Uh hahahaha, Mike, he doesn't mean it.

Oh, you know, middle-aged men always have so many days in a month.

It’s okay, I’ll just make him some brown sugar water to drink later.”

After Carlisle said that, he wanted to slap himself.

What the hell am I talking about!?

This experience shows that he is a good man who always takes care of his wife.

Unlike Ewing and others, they only know how to shout for the next batch.

West shook his head: "Okay, stop talking, I've seen this scene before, it's okay. Now, let's start working on the draft."

What kind of troubles have you never seen with Logo men?

As for the head coach escaping during a critical period of the team, he has not only seen it before with the logo man.

He even did it himself!

When Magic first joined the team, the entire Lakers team was ambitious.

They all feel that the lineup of Magic + Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will definitely allow the team to have a good performance.

As a result, at this critical moment when everyone was high-spirited, Logo Man actually resigned from his position as head coach.

At that time, Bass, who had newly bought the team, was so angry that he almost lost his temper.

Logo mainly felt that there was too much pressure and felt that he did not have the ability to lead a team to win championships as a coach.

As a coach, his on-the-spot command ability is too poor.

Many times, he would only yell at the players during timeouts and could not arrange any tactics at all.

Rivers: Isn’t that what coaching is all about?

So West eventually resigned and retreated into the background.

The situation now is almost exactly the same as it was then.

Shea proved in one season that he was the right answer for the Lakers, and the whole team was encouraged to start strengthening.

As a result, at this critical moment, the head coach took the bucket and ran away.

History is indeed a cycle.

The logo man said it’s okay, I’m very experienced in this matter!

There are so many outstanding coaches in universities waiting to be selected, are you still worried that you can’t find them?

Let’s get the draft matters settled first!

So before the draft started the next day, Shea and countless Lakers fans saw a shocking news in the newspaper:

"Dunleavy took the initiative to resign, leaving the Lakers head coach position vacant!"

"Without a coach at a critical moment? How far can the Lakers go next season?"

"Rumors say that a disagreement between Shay and Dunleavy caused Dunleavy to leave."

Shay:???

I was shot even while I was riding a horse!

But it is true that once the head coach of any team resigns, most people's first reaction is that the coach and the star do not get along.

Just like when you mention practicing ball control and breaking the press, everyone's first reaction is that he is a hard-working basketball player.

This is caused by inertial thinking.
