Philadelphia 76
In other words, the 98-01 Philadelphia 76ers in the original timeline.
Their most brilliant time was when they reached the finals under the leadership of Iverson and Mutombo.
Fighting hard against the OK Lakers and biting down G1 abruptly, the hope of the Lakers winning the championship was shattered.
perhaps.
For the 76ers, people’s memory only stays on Iverson and Uncle Mu.
But Mo Ran, a longtime fan, is well-know.
That year the 76ers could reach the Finals and take a bite out of the OK Lakers.
Except for Iverson and Uncle Mu.
The contributions of two other people cannot be ignored.
One of them is Eli Snow recommended by Mo Ran.
Well, the other one, the big man Jerry West had his eye on—Theo Ratliff!
Who is Theo Ratliff?
This buddy’s defensive ability on the inside is unparalleled.
In his career, he averaged more than 3 blocks per game in eight seasons.
There was even an average of 4.4 blocks per game in a single season.
It’s an uncompromising cap king!
Of course, to be the shot-blocker, that’s the future.
The current Ratliff is a super blue-collar who does not receive much attention in the Detroit Pistons lineup.
As a first-round pick in 1995, he averaged 4.5 points and 4 rebounds per game in his rookie season.
Last season, he averaged 5.8 points and 3.4 baskets per game.
The two key figures add up to even less than 10.
This level of police inside players, the NBA is caught a lot.
But unfortunately, LOGO took a fancy to Ratliff’s shining point.
That’s his capping attribute.
In Ratliff’s rookie season, he had five blocks in a single game.
Last season, there was 8 blocks in a single game!
Jerry West is clear.
The opponents of the Lakers in the new season, each inside has a monster.
The Rockets and the Jazz on this side of the West.
Celtic, Nice on the eastern side.
Although there is Mo Ran, there is not much pressure on the inside.
But accumulating more inside blue-collar workers to help Mo Ran share some pressure is the most important thing for LOGO right now.
Mo Ran focuses on the Lakers’ backup point guard after Kenny Smith’s retirement.
Jerry West is concerned about how this can enhance the team’s interior blue-collar role.
One of the two is responsible for the outside line and the other is responsible for the inside line.
In the absence of any communication, the division of labor is clear.
“Mo, what do you think of Theo.
Seeing Mo Ran’s smiling face, Jerry West thought that Mo Ran had a different opinion.
“I think he’s pretty good, general manager.
Mo Ran handed Ratliff’s information back to LOGO: “If possible, I think I can quickly complete these two transactions.”
Since neither of them has any opinion on the players they recommend, Mo Ran feels that the sooner the trade is the better.
So, Jerry West opened his acting moment.
He first called the Detroit Pistons and offered Grant Long.
“Grant Jerry, are you serious?
Pistons general manager Doug Collins wrote the name of Grant Long in the corner of the newspaper directly in front of him.
Then rejected Jerry West’s offer.
Thinking of the Lakers’ trades and leaks last summer, Doug Collins doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.
Looking to trade Grant Long?
Do you see me as a fool?
“Sorry, Jerry, Grant is the most important part of the team, we can’t live without him, you’d better change your goals. 22
Collins’ approach to this wave of rejection is also ingenious.
He also gave Jerry West a step down.
The other party will definitely not offer others, and this call will end there.
“Well, Grant is our first choice, but if you need him badly, I’ll have to listen to you, . . .
Hearing Jerry West’s words, Doug Collins was about to hang up when he heard a voice on the other end of the phone:
“I can only change the target, shouldn’t Theo Ratliff not be for sale?
what?
Doug Collins was stunned.
Big brother, I’m talking about another goal, to give you steps to hang up the phone decently.
Why did you really change the target offer?
Now, Grant Lang has been rejected by the not-for-sale trick.
This Theo Ratliff, it’s not easy to refuse!
Doug Collins briefly took a look at Ratliff’s two seasons with the Pistons.
Aside from the occasional flash in capping, he’s mostly blue-collar and unremarkable.
Compared to Grant Lang, who was quoted previously by LOGO, Ratliff is not a star and a half.
When Doug Collins calmed down and smart IQs regained the high ground, he thought:
Jerry West quotes Theo Ratliff, and more is also giving himself a step down.
It is worthy of being a LOGO, and it does things decently.
“No problem, we can make a deal now…
Soon, this deal about the mediocre Ratliff was reached so easily.
Hanging up the phone on the Pistons side, LOGO made a backhand call to Seattle.
SuperSonics general manager Wally Waugh has been busy this summer.
He sent Sean Camp away in exchange for Vin Bay.
To maximize the retention of the team’s competitiveness in the West.
At least stabilizing the team to enter the playoffs for many consecutive years is not a problem.
To deal with this kind of head, Jerry West can’t use the same trick he just did with Doug Collins.
Collins: What’s so weird about that?
“Wally, I want Eli Snow.
After dialing the phone, the LOGO used the chips directly: “Is a second-round pick enough?
“Hey, Jerry, I promise, no one in this league dares to deal with you so fast.
Wally Waugh is wary: “Erie Snow? A second-round pick, is it worth calling in person to ask the price?”
“Two second-round picks. 99
“make a deal.
For a general manager like Warley who put his interests first, Jerry West had to put his interests on the table.
Let the other party see that it is profitable, and the transaction will be completed smoothly enough.
You know, Eli Snow is also a second-round pick.
According to Wally Walker:
A second-round pick who averaged 3 points per game in one season is discounted to two future second-round picks.
If I don’t do this business, do you think my brain is not good?
So ever.
Jerry West made two deals in two completely different ways.
Sean Luce was sent away in exchange for Theo Ratliff.
The 99-year second-round pick and the 2002-2002 second-round pick were sent to the hook team in exchange for Eli Snow.
When the Lakers started to take action in the trading market after the training camp started, the media immediately focused on these two transactions.
Then, they found out.
This…, what is this TM?
Eli Snow?
Theo Ratliff?
Who is this person?
Compared with the two new aids that the Lakers switched to the team, even Sean Luce, who they sent the hook, has more to write about.
The striker, who entered the league in 1992, contributed 15 double-doubles in his rookie season and averaged 15 points per game in his rookie season.
Of course, it is also written here.
Sean Luce’s peak will always stay in the first two seasons of his career, and after that, it will be the same level of police with Ratliff and Snow.
In summary.
When people looked forward to studying these two transactions, they were disappointed.
The so-called summer of the Lakers is not over yet, and the team will strengthen.
That’s it?
As a spearhead for mocking the Lakers’ summer operations.
The “Boston Honest” newspaper, after the confirmation of these two transactions, published an article for the first time:
“Los Angeles defending the Lakers hopeless, the team’s signings got into a dead end! 99
The Celtics have a wave of stud Pippen this summer, plus full-level rookie Duncan, All-Star point guard Kidd, and Kobe Bryant, who has accelerated the upgrade.
It’s like a championship-winning look.
…for flowers
Against the Lakers.
In addition to signing Rivers in the summer, this is also a free agent that the Celtics did not take the initiative to renew.
Almost nothing.
Do you really think signing Rodman can defend the title?
Do you really think that just replacing two mediocre players can strengthen the team’s lineup?
In this world, how can there be so many leftover beads waiting for you to pick them up!
In the Boston Candid article, they directly stated:
This is how the Lakers tasted the sweetness of Big Ben and Bowen, and started Shi Lezhi’s high-roller lottery player.
Apparently, in the Boston media’s view.
The Lakers’ two lottery tickets this time must be thank you for your patronage.
Boston media preempted.
The New York media was naturally not to be outdone and kept up with the fill-ups.
The New York Times decisively activates the yin-yang body:
“Jerry West reappears in a god-level deal! Theo Ratliff + Eli Snow may be the most successful signings in the summer of 1997!
Fools all know that the most successful signing this summer is the ultimate exchange of blood in Nice.
This wave of “New York Times” obviously showed YYGQ’s skills to the extreme.
Their editor on the basketball tile is an old intersex too.
But interestingly, today’s edition of The New York Times sells staggeringly.
It turns out.
It’s not just New York editors who are intersex.
Many fans in New York are also old hermaphrodites.
They really like to watch this kind of yin and yang news about the Lakers.
no way.
Between big cities and big cities, there is bound to be no harmony.
After the New York and Boston media began to criticize the Lakers’ summer signings.
The western team that the Lakers can’t deal with the most is the Utah Jazz.
The media in Utah also began to analyze the Lakers’ signing plan this offseason.
Their brushwork is different from Boston and New York.
“The Utah Jazz are about to avenge the Lakers, the Western Conference champions in the new season, which already belong to Salt Lake City! 19
Boston pointed to a dead end for Lakers signings.
New York has a yin and yang peculiarity.
Utah wrote the word villain on its face.
If you have the ability, you Lakers will come and beat me!
If you really dare to fight, I’m not afraid.
Close the door and put Karl Malone on!
With Malone’s iron here, the Utah media is even more unscrupulous.
Seeing the general disapproval of the external media, Mo Ran really wanted these media to increase their efforts.
Please hurry up and criticize the operation of the Lakers.
Otherwise, in the future, other leaked transactions will not be able to proceed!
Let the bashing be louder!
Just Boston, New York and Utah is not enough!
What about the media in Chicago?
You are taking action!
When he thinks of his potential future trades, Mo Ran can’t wait to turn himself into a keyboard warrior and spray the Lakers management with blood.
Look at Jerry West, in order to exchange for two ordinary players in the eyes of the media, he came up with all kinds of tactics and various operations.
If the Lakers management is a big idiot, does the LOGO still need to work so hard?
Therefore, Mo Ran feels that the media’s criticism of the Lakers’ management is not a bad thing.
Instead it’s a good thing.
As for these media jumping like this now, that’s easy to handle.
Wouldn’t it be the end of the new season to blow the home team they support?
“Boston Celtics, New York Nice and Utah Jazz, 93
Wait… how did something weird get in there?
Nice and Celtic, after all, they were strengthened in an all-round way.
Your jazz, a defeated general, actually shouted up?
I really thought I wouldn’t dare hit you with Karl Malone?
Looking at the schedule, Mo Ran silently recorded the time for the first game between the Lakers and the Jazz.
Salt Lake City Martial Arts Club seems inevitable!
