Why did Doug Rivers submit his resignation to Angie three times? Let s take a look at Boston on the eve of the storm

Let’s not talk much, just follow the previous article.

As mentioned above, after Denian Gee took office as the general manager of the Celtics in the summer of 2003, after two years of careful planning, he has saved up a lot of superstar fragments with great transaction value. What he wants to do, while continuing to accumulate fragments, he also needs to always observe the relationship between the NBA super giants and the team, and take action immediately whenever there is any trouble. However, before that, Ange still has an extremely urgent thing to do, that is, dealing with Lafrenz's super big LJ contract.

Lafrenz is one of the rare 3D centers in that era, good at three-pointers and blocking. In 2002, the Mavericks signed a 7-year and 70 million contract with him, but a year later, Danny Angie brought him over with Fat Head Dod Walker. Unexpectedly, Lafrenz's body was very crisp and was reimbursed in the first year of coming. It was difficult to return to the peak after his comeback. In the 2004-2005 season, Lafrenz averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds, and the contract had 4 years and 47 million.

What level of contract was an average salary of 12 million at that time? It is no exaggeration to say that buying a second-in-command is more than enough. The contract is too large, the years are too long, and the competitive level is generally brittle, and there are huge potential for injury. These factors make it difficult to deal with Lafrenz's contract. Angie took Lafrenz around the trading market and got kicked for half a circle...

Angie relied on Lafrenz's pot on Fatto Do Walker. His logic is this - if you didn't talk to me back then, our relationship wouldn't be so bad - we have no relationship It's so bad, I can't trade you - I don't trade you, and Lafrenz can't come to the Celtics - so it's all your fault...

On August 2, 2005, Angie planned a big deal involving the most teams and players in NBA history at that time. It's quite ridiculous, but in fact, all involved are Karamis. The Celtics sent Antoine Walker and got Kuntel Woods + two Karamis who had never played in the NBA and the second round picks of the two Heats. Woods was also sent to the Knicks and got another second round pick. Angie used Walker to exchange for three second round picks. In the middle of the season, Angie finally made a deal that was quite acceptable, and exchanged Ricky Davis for the Timberwolves' Szebiak + a 2007 first-round draft pick - pay attention to this draft pick, it has not expired, and later with Garnett's big deal, it was returned to the Timberwolves. What's this called? It's called using your money to do your business!

In the transaction, Angie also wanted to bring White Mambascola Bryan into his bargaining chips, and he didn't need to add anything on the other side. He gave it to him purely for nothing, but was threatened by the Timberwolves - if you dare to add White Mambas, I dare to turn off the computer...

White Mambas: Have you seen it? What is the real team soul!

Including the six-and-a-half season of this year, Szebiak played for six and a half seasons with the Timberwolves. He was quite good in the previous few years. He entered the All-Stars in the 2001-02 season, but since he was beaten by Bruce Bowen in 2003, he was completely damaged by one kick. That was Wang Xiaoer's New Year, which was worse than one year, but his contract was still 39 million in 3 years.

The photo of Uncle Bao San kicking Szebiak was not found, but it was similar to this one. After Szebiak came to the Celtics, in order to increase the transaction value, Rivers arranged for Szebiak to brush the data. Although Szebiak dribbles and defends a layer of paper, after all, he averaged 17 points per game and nearly 40% of the three-point shooting percentage. There are still people in the market asking about him!

Ange was overjoyed and quickly ordered Rivers to arrange for Lafrenz to brush the data, but Lafrenz clearly expressed his rejection with his actions. He averaged 7.8 points per game and blocked the road directly. For a whole season, Ange used various relationships, pulled banners, posted posters, found endorsements, and posted advertisements. Lafrenz couldn't give it away, and Ange completely knelt down...

The entire season, the Celtics were the most collapsed. The person is not Lafrenz or Angie, but Doug Rivers. In fact, Rivers has a good hand this year. The core Pierce averaged 26+7+5 per game, and is still the level of the top small forward in the league. The rookies Al Jefferson, Deronti West, Ryan Gomez, Kendrick Perkins, Tony Allen, Gerrard Green and others have also grown up slowly. According to our old Li's strong ability to support the bottom, it is not difficult to enter the playoffs.

But I can't resist the old lady eating Croton - the air leaked from front to back, Rivers rushed forward desperately, but Angie was deliberately trying to make a fuss. Whoever played well, the team's second leader Fatto Dodork was sent away at the beginning of the season. In the middle, Ricky Davis played the best half of his career and was sent away by Angie. Old Li had to follow Angie's instructions and give Szebiak and Lafrenz enough time to brush data... In the end, the Celtics had only 33 wins that season, ranking The 11th place in the East, he did not make the playoffs for the first time in his career...

However, for Lao Li, this year was at most an appetizer, because Anji completely collapsed Lao Li in the second year. According to Anji himself after winning the championship, Rivers submitted his resignation to him three times this year, but Anji did not approve it once. That question is, how did Anji torture our Lao Li in the 2006-2007 season?

Three days after the 2006 draft, Angie was the busiest general manager in the league. He chose Randy Foy with the 7th pick in the first round. This guy was the most terrifying three-pointer shooter in the NCAA back then. He averaged 20+6 in his senior year, and was also the flagship of American basketball at the World College Games. Rivers was very excited after getting Foy, thinking that he could replace Szebiak, who could not do anything except three-pointers..

Old Li couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth. Before he could go down, Angie traded Foy in a blink of an eye. Foy + Dan Dikao + Lafrenz = Theo Ratliff + Terfil of the Trail Blazers.

The moment when Lafrenz was sent away, Angie knelt on her knees, tears flowing. Thank God, she whistled up to the sky, and Doug Rivers cried and was so full of pear blossoms that were raining. Not only Foy was sent away, but Terfell was also the famous XJBD in the league...

Smile, make a fuss, don't joke about Angie's professionalism. On the third day after the draft, Angie made an important deal that could change the team's history for ten years - he used his first round draft pick in 2007 + 1.5 million cash to get Brian Grant and this year's No. 21 rookie Rajon Rondo.

There is also an inconspicuous small deal worth paying attention to. Angie used a second round pick to exchange the Nuggets for this year's 49th rookie power forward Lyon Poway. Powell made great efforts in the Celtics' two finals trips.

Of course, after the draft, it was a free market signing. Anji had three basic salary and signed three unsuccessful Calami rookies to fill the lineup. The season ended, and he was cut off before the end of the season...

Of course, whether it was Rajon Rondo or Lyon Bowie, that was the next thing. As a rookie, he had to play as a substitute this year. For example, Rondo had to hand over the towel to Terfell...

As mentioned earlier, Rivers submitted his resignation to Anji three times in a row this year. This first happened shortly after the start of the game. Lao Li and Anji had huge differences on how to use Al Jefferson.

In fact, at the beginning, Jefferson was within Angie's future plan. Although Jefferson, who was 23 years old, was silent on the bench in Boston in the first two seasons, averaged 7 or 8 points per game in 15 minutes, he could see his solid basic skills at the basket and excellent offensive ability. He was a complete killer in the interior. In the past two years, Angie and Rivers jointly suppressed Jefferson and hid him to avoid exchanging the super giant fragments. The opponent named Jefferson.

But the key is that as soon as Lafrenz leaves this season, who will play center? Theo Ratliff, who was a two-year, 23 million contract, only played two games, but was reimbursed due to injury. According to the principle, according to Lao Li's intention, he wanted to bring Jefferson up. After all, they are in the third grade. If Jefferson is suppressed, they may have to make some trouble in the locker room - Jefferson is dissatisfied with the treatment and applied to leave the team.

But Angie insists on letting the big fat Kendrick Perkins start, and his attitude is very firm. In Angie's heart, Jefferson is the player with the highest trading value in the team. Unless he is a super giant, ordinary stars cannot change, and they must hide him for another year.

In the first seven games of the new season, Big Fat Perkins started, Celtics won one and six losses, and after two consecutive kneeling waves, Lao Li also knelt... After the first 20 games, the Celtics won 5 and 15 losses, Lao Li submitted his resignation to Anji for the first time - I quit! Anji was forced to agree to Jefferson as the starter. As a result, the Celtics won five consecutive victories. Jefferson performed quite well, contributing 29+14, 28+10, 22+10, 20+14 in a row. The only 6+13 in the game was that the Celtics beat the 76ers by 20 points, causing Jefferson to go for 28 minutes.

In the middle of the season, the team was in trouble again. Pierce made a continuous recession due to an elbow injury on his left hand. Logically speaking, this is not a major injury, but Pierce just didn't. The reason why fans outside the world speculated was that Pierce was instructed by Anji. His purpose this season is to show off to the end! Pierce played 47 games throughout the season.

You should know that the Celtics are just such a core. If Pierce doesn't play, Old Li will be in a miserable situation. After six consecutive losses, he relied on Tony Allen and Szebiak's inspiration, two wins and one loss, and then a huge wave of eighteen kneelings. After winning one game, he knelt six games in a row...

Old Li was almost driven crazy by Anji. After the game, Old Li submitted his resignation to Anji for the second time. Anji still comforted Old Li to stay calm...

Doug Rivers: 18 consecutive losses! Let me tell me how I should calm down! I have never been so embarrassed in my career... I'm so big-eyed. This is...Brother, I beg you, just let me go. I have an 80-year-old mother above and a snatch, a snatch, a snatch and a snatch and a snatch and a snatch and a snatch and a snatch and a snatch and a snatch-down child...

The last 10 games of the season, the Celtics ended with 2 wins and 8 losses. After the whole season, the Celtics lost 24 wins and 58 losses in the East and the bottom was at the bottom of the East..

After the season, Pierce, Angie, Doug Rivers, the team boss and a group of senior team executives jointly held a meeting. At the meeting, Pierce officially applied for a deal to Angie. At the same time, Doug Rivers applied for resignation for the third time, but they were all beaten back by Angie. When facing the boss, Angie solemnly said-

"Your efforts will not be wasted, please believe me for the last time!"

After speaking, he also bowed to everyone present. Since Angie entered Boston, he has indeed been under great pressure, not only from the players, but also from the boss. His broken record has seriously affected the team's market value and the sales of home tickets. Everything is forcing Angie to make changes in a short period of time, proving that he is not an incompetent person who has gained fame!

This day will come soon!

On June 15, 2007, the NBA Finals slowly came to an end in Duncan's "The Future Is Yours". Just 12 days later, Ray Allen came, and a month later, Kevin Garnett also came. The Celtics officially formed the three giants that are unprecedented. The team turned over and sang serfs and won the championship of that year. Doug Rivers later used this championship ring to defraud the league for eighteen years.

So the question is, how did Ray Allen and Garnett be introduced to Boston by Angie? What kind of bargaining chips did Anji pay? Due to limited space, we will talk about it in the next chapter.
