0823: [Snoopy's draft vision]
In terms of personal ability, Daphne is beyond reproach.
As soon as the film company was ready, she single-handedly obtained the copyright of "Beauty and the Beast" from Disney at a super low price. "Dream Manufacturing" will shoot a live-action version of this classic cartoon.
When the brothers of the hard training group learned that the little duke's company had obtained this classic IP, they recommended themselves one after another: I want to play the beast.
Each has its own reasons.
Westbrook thinks he's characteristic, Harden says he's hairy like a monster, Kevin Love thinks he's big, and Paul George, who thinks he's tailor-made for the role.
Snoopy's reply was unanimous: I'm not going to let my movie be ruined in your hands.
In fact, even Snoopy himself, who is rumored to be widely rumored by the outside world, did not serve as the main actor. He doesn't want to do anything wrong with the movies he invests in, and he still leaves things like movies to professionals to deal with.
Of course, as a top traffic with strong appeal, he doesn't mind playing a supporting role to embellish, as for the rest, it's better to leave it to professionals.
His focus this summer is still on basketball.
Of course, judging from Daphne's announcement schedule, in addition to the fifteen days in the training camp. The rest of the time is basically cut into pieces by various arrangements. For example, from mid-July, he will travel to Europe for two weeks of promotion and two concerts in London and Paris.
In August, he will return to Beijing for a solo concert and a five-city tour in Asia.
Immediately after returning to the United States, two more films were filmed. Coupled with the fact that the Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles held two concerts in a row, he basically didn't have much personal time.
"I'm a money-making machine."
Sometimes, Snoopy laughs at herself.
……
Chicago's massive salary pressure didn't work out, and the Bulls began to make cuts.
On draft night, the Chicago Bulls sent away James Johnson and traded him as a bargaining chip for the No. 19 pick, selecting Jimmy Butler, a signed player under Daphne.
Subsequently, it was announced that it would not match the contract offered to Bogans by the New Jersey Nets. In addition, Chicago media revealed that the Bulls have halted contract extension talks with Ronnie Brewer and CJ Watson.
This means that the Bulls' huge small forward phalanx last season was wiped out in an instant, and the four big bench bandits left at the same time.
Coupled with Stephen Marbury, who has retired from the NBA, most of the Bulls' championship-winning team has left!
This is very rare in the history of the NBA, and it is generally rare for a championship team to voluntarily disband its own team.
But there is no way, the salary pressure is too great.
James Johnson, Bogans, Brewer, and Watson are all expiring contracts except for James Johnson is a team option, they won the championship as bench bandits, and their value has risen with the tide, and the Bulls want to renew all of them, at least 13 million per year, which is still a human price.
With the current salary situation of the Bulls, it is impossible to renew the contract.
After all, Snoopy is about to sign a contract with a maximum salary, and Joakin Noah's annual salary of 10 million yuan will also officially take effect next season. Coupled with the buyout of Eddie Curry, who is still included in the salary space, Carlos Boozer and Lore Deng share two tens of millions of annual salaries...... I can't bear it!
Moreover, with Tej Gibson's performance this year, after squeezing his last child labor job next year, his salary will definitely go straight to 10 million.
Gary Foreman is racking his brains to save food and grass.
But... That's all there is to it.
We can only pin our hopes on the free market, hoping that there will be a veteran who will accept a base salary to defect to the Bulls for a championship.
……
Snoopy, despite having some opinions about trading James Johnson, eventually nodded. After all, he doesn't have much room to survive in Chicago, and when he goes to Toronto, he even has a chance to hit the outside core.
This is actually a good choice for his career prospects.
As James Johnson left Chicago, the little duke suddenly felt a little sad. He found that the Bulls locker room was no longer free of the Knicks' old department, Eddie went to Toronto last year, James Johnson also went this year, and will see each other up to three times a season in the future. As for Stephen Marbury, he even crossed the ocean and went to the home country of the little duke.
For Marbury today, spiritual pursuits are far greater than financial desires.
Frankly, with his performance last season and the blessing of a championship, he could go to any team and sign a full mid-range.
In fact, many teams aiming to get the little duke have long been eager to send him an offer, hoping to play a good positive role. Especially the Lakers, who lack a point guard, even offered Marbury a two-year, 11.3 million contract.
However, the old horse has made up his mind.
It can be regarded as devoting yourself to another stage of life.
The farewell call to James Johnson was a painful affair, and the little duke hesitated for a long time before dialing the phone.
But before he could speak, James Johnson took the initiative to speak, saying it was a good thing to go to Toronto, where there were more opportunities, and that Eddie Curry was there.
At the same time, he thanked Snoopy for taking care of him during the past two years, which he believes laid the foundation for his career.
In the end, he did not forget to say: "In the future... If there is a conflict on the pitch, you can safely give your back to Joaquin Noah. He's a reliable guy, and I've trained his boxing skills to never let people sneak up on you from behind. ”
It was good before.
But when he said this, the little duke's nose suddenly became a little sour.
Then, he said, "Get out of here and make a lot of money in your Toronto, you third-rate boxer!" ”
……
The little duke has always been an emotional person, and he will take the initiative to protect and take care of those who follow him.
That's why, in an interview in Los Angeles after the draft, he explicitly told reporters: "I think Leonard is the strongest player in this year's rookie." ”
"Klay is going to be one of the best shooters in the NBA. Jimmy Butler has the blood and drive of the counterattackers, and Kemba Walker, and I love his solid style of play. ”
Snoopy praised all the young players who knew him well and had good relationships.
Because these people all attended his training camp last year and have a good relationship with him.
This year's No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving, also attended his training camp, but he was not satisfied with the recklessness he showed with Barnes.
So, he just gave a passing blessing.
Snoopy is so love-hate-hate.
Of course, his words were quickly disseminated by the media. After all, he is now an NBA single-season Grand Slam winner.
Soon, the draft pundits refuted his words.
Think he's cronyism.
At the draft pundit, Kyrie Irving far surpasses all the rookies Snoopy's name.
And, they think Derrick Williams, Tristan Thompson, Kante and the like are better than these rookies who are late in the first round.
Among them, one of the things they swear the most is that.
"Gimmer Fredade is a phenomenal goalscorer, Snoopy doesn't know anything about the ball. He inherited the draft gaze of the Chicago aces, don't let him walk into the draft room! ”
"Snoopy always prefers role players who are good defensively, and if you look at the names he mentions, all of them are team-type players. I think it's a result of his personal experience, he's gone from a blue-collar center forward to where he is now, and he thinks the same is true for other people. It's like Jordan the Flyer, who always thinks that the one who jumps high is a potential superstar! ”
……
Continue to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. A lot of friends reward these days, and tomorrow I will thank them one by one with three chapter updates.
