0745:[Duke's Terms]
Snoopy's remarks dispelled the concerns of Bulls fans.
Of course, the more important proof is that he assisted Derrick Rose to complete dagger-like assassinations on the court many times.
That night, Rose had 37 points, five assists and five rebounds. Once again, he proved that he was the No. 1 point guard in the East.
Of course... This was built on the basis of the placement of the Little Duke in the Swingman of the Guard.
After all, for the guy who averages assists more than two-time regular-season MVP Stephen Nash and is second in the league, it's hard to put your name on it if he bills himself as a point guard.
In fact, Snoopy's pitch positioning has been a headache lately.
In the voting channel of this year's NBA All-Star Game, Snoopy's position is guard.
This made the other guards in the East a little aggrieved, because the little Duke is an unquestionable All-Star starter in terms of popularity and strength. But... There are only two turnip pits.
Isn't throwing Snoopy into the list of defenders in a situation where Dwyanwade is sure to occupy a situation, doesn't that cut off the promotion path of a large number of other good guards?
So, Joe Johnson asked very seriously on his Twitter: Why not let Snoopy continue his position last season? He's obviously a striker!
However, there are no spare positions on the striker's side.
LeBron James takes one, and then Snoopy. Stoudemire, who finally embarked on the road to scoring crown in the New York Knicks, is going to cry again, as well as a large group of players such as Chris Bosh and Paul Pearce.
As a result, there are voices saying that Snoopy should be a center: he grabs so many rebounds and blocks per game, and on the defensive end, his basket protection efficiency is second only to Dwight Howard and Tyson Chandler.
Dwight Howard has a lot of opinions about this.
He didn't want his All-Star start to be ruined. Moreover, the tactical battle with Stan Van Gundy during this period was enough to make him anxious.
In fact, he had already made a final representation to the general manager last week: either trade me, fire Stan Van Gundy, or increase my right to sell!
Unlike Dwight Howard, who kept the conflict under control and resolved it internally, as the trading day approached. Rumors of a trade between the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks are getting louder, and the New Yorkers can't wait to come up with various trade proposals.
In order to get Carmelo Anthony, they even manipulated the draft pick until 2018.
The Knicks, who had been empty-handed all summer, had to stud under huge fan pressure.
But for this operation of the team's management, Big Apple fans are not paying for it. In their eyes, even if they get Cameron, it is just a remedy.
If Snoopy had been left behind, would the Knicks be the way they are now?
At the thought of this, Donnie Walsh was inevitably pulled out and whipped. This is despite the fact that he had long been fired and was fined a large sum of his pension money by a New York state court for an early tax evasion. But that still wasn't enough to calm the anger of Knicks fans. After all, the damage he inflicted on the Knicks is irreversible. In the words of the New York Times, Donnie Walsh is destined to be nailed to the historical pillar of shame, and he will forever be equated with stupidity. His move to trade Snoopy and Stephen Marbury for Tyrou Thomas, is the dumbest act in NBA history.
In fact, the Knicks didn't re-sign Thomas this summer. Thomas has been poached Charlotte by Michael Jordan on a $30 million contract.
If you have to draw an equal sign, it is equivalent to exchanging Snoopy and Thomas for a bunch of air.
Snoopy's court value can be easily inferred from the Bulls' market capitalization growth this season: $320 million. And this is only his first season with Chicago, and by the time he leads the team to a championship, the Bulls' market value will soar again. That's why, now in Chicago, Snoopy's poster portrait is gradually pushing Derek Rose to the edge.
The capitalists are no longer satisfied with establishing the concept of dual-core, and the bull bosses, who tasted the sweetness in the eighties and nineties, can't wait to start the second god-making movement. Even if... Derrick Rose is a Chicago native and has a deep mass base that can't stop him. After all, the smell of money is fascinating. Derrick Rose is good, he's a cash cow, he's got a big prospect and his input-output ratio is amazing. However, this is built without Snoopy. If Snoopy were owned at the same time, any capitalist would not hesitate to tilt most of his resources to him.
In fact, the paparazzi reporters, entertainment media, business endorsements, and product promotions around him are also playing a role in fueling the fire.
The economist even mentions the concept of a 'Snoopy economy': for the average tabloid reader, Snoopy's life is like a train wreck cut through by a couple of duchess girls. However, he is a gold mine for everyone involved in the Snoopy Industrial System, from paparazzi to perfume merchants. Whether he's dunking on the pitch or pushing Justin Bieber off the field, or appearing on different occasions with various duchess girls, every exposure makes Snoopy more and more magical. According to the recent Forbes Fortune List, he is worth $925 million and is growing rapidly, a figure that will even increase fivefold when all of his companies go public. But for the entire "Britney Spears economy", this is only a fraction. The paparazzi expect to earn around $70 million a year from the sale of Britney Spears' photos. Celebrity gossip, tabloids, websites and other media outlets get an estimated $120 million a year from Snoopy. If Snoopy had been on the cover, a celebrity tabloid could have sold 52 percent more .......
And that's why the players' union has been looking to Snoopy to represent the players' body in the recent heated collective bargaining agreement.
They hope that Snoopy will step up and push back forcefully against the proposal of the sponsor representative to change the distribution of the league's basketball-related revenue (BRI). After all, it's been 57 percent for so many years, and no one wants their income to plummet next.
In this regard, LeBron James, the first person in the league, has already made a statement.
Kobe Bryant doesn't care about that, he's a basketball-focused guy who has been struggling with the recent dip in Los Angeles.
In this regard, Snoopy has not taken action.
Representatives of the management have begun to revise a new agreement to curry favor with Snoopy, and they have finally relented from years of oppression of child labor on rookies. Sources revealed that they said that superstars like Snoopy, who made consecutive All-Star games and led the team to the Finals, should be treated specially. Their first salary cap should go up from 25 percent to 30 percent of the salary cap, and they can have the right to end their fourth-year rookie contract early.
This is undoubtedly a bombshell.
If calculated according to this year's salary cap of 58 million, Snoopy's starting salary for the next contract can be increased from $14.5 million to $17.4 million.
For this, there is no controversy. After all, a superstar like this deserves more money.
But the next day, the proposal to end the rookie contract early left many players unhappy.
Because, most of the high-pick rookies including James, Wade, and Anthony are honestly taking four years of cheap rookie contracts before starting to get the maximum salary contract. If Snoopy is allowed to cross the fourth year of his rookie contract and go straight to the salary cap, it will be unpleasant for many people.
In this regard, the advice given by the management representative is: "We must reward the super newcomers who bring great influence to the alliance. We'll set strict conditions for this clause, such as leading the team to the Finals twice in the first three years of their rookie season. ”
This sentence is equivalent to tailoring it to Snoopy.
Of all the active players, Snoopy is the only one who has led the team to the Finals twice in a row.
Isn't this a clear display to please Snoopy?
However, when this was drafted as the 'Duke's Clause', it was released. Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Bulls, who is known for his stinginess, immediately made a public statement: "We have Snoopy ready for a five-year, $90 million contract. As soon as the new collective bargaining agreement is passed, it can be implemented immediately. It doesn't even matter if this season is based on the new wage system. ”
He was even more generous to Snoopy than Michael Jordan.
In fact, when Snoopy learned about the "Duke Clause," he was talking to startup founders from Silicon Valley about investing.
"That's really good news." Snoopy told George Chen, who was next to him: "It means that I have more money to invest in these promising Internet companies." For example, this company called Instagram. ”
George Chen frowned, he actually wanted his employer to have some savings. After all, as an investor, living in an ordinary affluent neighborhood like Chicago is shabby.
