Chapter 609 [Bull Trade, Guards Come to Vote]

What Stephanie imagined didn't happen, of course, and there were more people in the villa than she thought.

At night, she lived with Xia Baowen's brothers and sisters, and Wang Jun was worried that she would be seen by Wang Leying when she went to the toilet at night, which would scare her sister into heart disease.

Early the next morning, Stephanie went to look for Akon, who came in a hurry and had no clothes to change, so she went in a ghostly manner. And Akon only listened to the voice, didn't look at the shape, and successfully signed the contract.

She called to report the good news, and Akon promised to help her find a musical style, as long as he was satisfied, he could release an album in the future.

Because she was happy, Stephanie proposed to invite Wang Jun and others to the restaurant for dinner.

Wang Jun refused. "Forget it, don't you have a formal job yet? It's never too late to wait until you release an album and become famous. Now we are all richer than you, and one of our families runs a restaurant. ”

Wang Leying also said: "That's right. I'm sure you'll be famous. ”

"Really?" Stephanie is happy, who doesn't like to be complimented on people?

"Of course, we all liked you very much during "The Amazing Race", and you and that strong man and handsome guy were particularly conspicuous." Song Ting continued.

Two eccentrics, of course, conspicuous.

Stephanie felt it was a compliment. "Taylor will be glad to know, Wang, you are such a good man, we thought that when we saw you again, you would not know us."

"My memory is not so bad, and besides, don't send good guy cards randomly."

Wang Jun's help is just a gesture, Stephanie has the dream of becoming a singer after graduation, she is completely an old man, and it is good that she can find a job.

After hearing this, Ajiali also wants to be a singer, she has a good voice. Good looks, too. However, her family has a big business, and she will definitely have to enter the family business in the future.

Stephanie is a self-cooked. People who love to be lively, and they are not half restrained. I'm happy to play in Los Angeles for three days before flying home.

She packed her things and was going to report to Atlanta, where KonvictMuzik was headquartered. Her job is to write songs and compose music for the company's artists. If there is something suitable for you, you can also ask Akon to give some advice, and then audition.

At this time, Wang Jun and others only regarded Stephanie as a young man pursuing her dreams, and they never thought about how amazing she would achieve in the future.

In fact, as an obvious mental patient, being able to walk around the street at will is already an amazing achievement.

While Wang Jun is on vacation in Los Angeles. Hinrich has officially left and the team is not on a matching contract.

Wang Jun called to bless Sinrich and understood the management's choice. It's a pity that old teammates can't play side by side, but with such an obvious premium contract as 65 million for 5 years, the Bulls would be crazy if they kept him.

Paxson's offer to Hinrich was all reversed, with salaries decreasing year by year, so that he could pay less luxury tax. The Eagles are offering an annual salary of 60 million, and the Bulls dare not match.

The Bulls don't throw out big contracts just because the players are suitable for the game, it depends on the value for money.

There is Wang Jun. Hinrich didn't have much of the ball, and after half court he waited for opportunities to shoot threes, a pure role player. If he doesn't renew his contract, he can find a defender with similar strength in the space of 48 million in 5 years.

There are no big names in the free market. Lore Deng wants to leave the Bulls, which can be used as a bargaining chip for another person.

Paxson is not considering forcing Lore Deng.

It's an unspoken rule of the NBA that many players will be traded out of contract years, and it's never a good thing to keep them. They made it clear that they wanted to go. Will you be able to play well in the new season? When you play, you have to brush up on the stats and fight for a big contract.

It doesn't matter if it's a bad team. When there is such a player in a strong team, the whole system will be disrupted. There can also be clashes in the locker room.

In the final year, many teams were also worried that Lore Deng would leave after playing well and would not be able to renew his contract. So only teams with plenty of salary space are interested in him, and the Bulls have only one trade target, and that is the Raptors.

The Raptors were already lacking good swingmen, and Calderon was forced to play multiple No. 2 starts. Peterson was poached by the Hornets, which made their prospects for the new season look bad.

Raptors management has considered two options, one is to poach Heat libero Jason Capono in the free market, low salary can't be poached, and the Heat can keep him. If you open a 4-year 24 million middle-class dig, eighty percent of it is a bad contract, and the whole league knows that Capono has poor defense and is only good at shooting three-pointers.

The Raptors were originally average defensively, and the champion Bagnani was soft and heartbreaking last season, and when Capono came to start again, they couldn't defend.

Sam Mitchell, who won the best coach last season, certainly wants to take the Raptors to the next level, and Lore Deng is a great small forward who can play both offense and defense, and is a good fit for the team.

After Paxson took the initiative to contact, the Raptors management took it very seriously.

But as soon as Paxson said his goal, the talks stalled, because the Bulls wanted starting point guard TJ Ford.

Ford and the Raptors renewed their contracts for 4 years ahead of schedule last season for an amount of 32 million, which is worth it considering that the contract is not long and the price is not high.

Last season, Ford averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists in 30 minutes per game, and his unstoppable breakthrough was a major contributor to the Raptors' victory in the divisional championship.

After research, Paxson and others are optimistic about Ford's breakthrough and counterattack capabilities. His speed is so impressive that if it weren't for the injury concern, it could well be another Iverson. He can make a difference when he comes, and it's much cheaper than Hinrich.

Ford and Dujon share playing time, just 25 to 30 minutes a game, to ensure fitness, but also to reduce the risk of injury.

As long as the deal is made, the Bulls will be able to fight back next season until the opponent vomits blood.

Raptors management held a meeting to discuss and unanimously agreed that Ford could not be let go, and the power of the pick-and-roll offense had plummeted, and there was no one on the outside who could attack with the ball.

The trade is okay, and they are only willing to send backup guard Calderón.

Spanish guard Calderón joined the NBA in the non-draft, and his efficiency is not low, averaging 8.7 points and 5 assists in 21 minutes per game, the offense mainly relies on shooting, the passes are hand-to-hand, the body is strong, the height is 191CM, and the weight is 95 kg.

As a heavy defender, Kheldron is not fast, has poor lateral movement, is not as reliable defensively as Hinrich, and the offensive end has a similar style for the two.

Paxson thought twice that if he didn't change the guard, he would definitely not be able to rely on Dujon next season, so he proposed that the Raptors add another first-round protected draft pick.

Calderon has a lot of experience and is accurate from three-point range, and these characteristics are suitable for the Bulls. The most important thing is that his salary next season is only 2.47 million, which is almost half of Lore Deng, which is much cheaper than Hinrich.

Everyone in management agreed that there would be no better leverage, and that other teams were not as short of swingmen as the Raptors.

The two sides finally made a decision and the deal was concluded.

The Bulls don't need Calderon to play great numbers, they just need to be a good role player.

The deal was officially announced, and Lore Deng was delighted.

He knows what the Raptors are like and knows that this team lacks a small forward. Although there are two stars in the team, one champion, but they are both young, and they have no record and qualifications, he will get a chance to perform.

If he helps the Raptors break through, his popularity will definitely increase.

The only fly in the ointment is that to join the Raptors, you have to go to Canada and live in Toronto. That's the reality, Lore Deng is not a superstar, and it's not up to him to decide where he wants to go.
