the great gatsby

Chapter 131 Undercurrent is turbulent
Gatsby scored 50+ triple-doubles and made a statement for himself, but he was also exhausted. He got into the system to recover that night, and he was refreshed the next day. However, he received a message when he woke up: Henry Thomas becomes a member of CAA!
Gatsby smiled and finally came.

This is indeed big news. People who don't know it don't think it is big news, but Gatsby, who is in the United States, knows very well what it means.

First of all, who is Henry Thomas-Henry Thomas is the agent of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh;

Secondly, what is CAA? Creative Artists Agency, Creative Elite Cultural Agency Co., Ltd., referred to as CAA, is a brand of all-round brokerage business. Founded in Los Angeles, California, USA in 1975, it represents and brokers numerous artists in the fields of film, television, music, stage play, games, sports and the Internet.

How influential is CAA, not to mention other things, just like sports, CAA sports agency agency represents more than 1000 athletes, these athletes are involved in sports including baseball, American football, hockey, basketball, football, tennis, golf etc.

In the NBA, stars he has worked with include Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul, and Oklahoma City The Thunder's Kevin Durant and the San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker's total contract agency value exceeds $7 million!
The point is that LeBron James' agent, Leandro, also belongs to CAA. Leandro is one of CAA's ace agents. That is to say, Wade, James, and Bosh are all under the banner of CAA!
"CAA has completely controlled the free agent market this summer because they have the three most valuable clients," said a team manager who did not want to be named.

"It's really exciting!" Gatsby could only see these news in the media in his previous life, but now he is in the league and personally participates in these things. The feeling is completely different. He knows that next season, the Heat will soon form the Big Three. It was a huge monster, and he knew how hateful such behavior was when he was in it!
The weather in New York has gradually become cold, but James Dolan's mind is quite hot, because Gatsby's performance recently made him feel that the rise of the Knicks is in an instant. More importantly, Donny Walsh and his It was revealed that Rich Paul, a close friend of LeBron James, contacted him recently. Although it was just to talk about some insignificant things, James Dolan knew that this was James expressing goodwill to the Knicks.

The most widely circulated story about Rich Paul is that he used a jersey to form a lifelong bond with James.When James was still in high school, he was already famous all over the world.And Rich Paul is just a vendor selling retro jerseys.By chance, the two met at the airport.

Rich Paul didn't wear his usual polo shirt that day, but wore a jersey of legendary NFL quarterback Warren Moon.James, on the other hand, was wearing the jersey of another famous quarterback, Michael Vick.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.The two looked at each other, and the intersection of their lives took place.

Rich Paul is wearing a vintage authentic jersey, while James is wearing a replica, not the original.

I don't know if the two had any embarrassment at that time, and how they started.Anyway, the final result is that James bought the jersey from Rich Paul, and Rich Paul and James kept contact information with each other.

Later, James opened his own company LRMR, which was taken from the English initials of James and his four friends, and the other three points were: Randy Mims, Maverick Carter and Rich Paul.

The four of them have a clear division of labor.James is responsible for expanding the territory in the NBA and increasing its influence.Rich Paul and two others are responsible for running the specific affairs.Carter is in charge of commercial activities, he is the CEO of LRMR marketing company, Mims is in charge of James' personal affairs, and Paul has transformed from a jersey dealer to an NBA agent.

Under the introduction of James last year, Rich Paul joined the brokerage industry giant Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and learned from the top agent Leon Rose.Around Rose, Rich Paul grew rapidly.

Rich Paul almost represents James' own opinion. Now that Rich Paul has expressed his kindness to the Knicks, it means that James is already considering joining the Knicks.

In order to attract James, the Knicks have started to operate a few years ago, but James’ attitude has always been not salty, there are reasons for the Cavaliers, but more of the Knicks themselves are not up to date, which James Dolan knows in his heart very.

Now that James suddenly took the initiative to express his goodwill, James Dolan had some guesses in his heart. The Knicks have seen results in cleaning up the big contracts in the past two years. The huge potential shown is the fundamental reason why James changed his mind!

Thinking of this, he had some ideas in his heart.

"It's me, oh? Donny, um, okay, I'll be there later." When Gatsby was training in the training hall, he received a call from Donny Walsh, saying that his boss was waiting for him in the office. Cibby took a quick shower and rushed to James Dolan's office.

When he arrived at the office, James Dolan showed Gatsby a box of cigars, the Danneman cigars Gatsby liked very much. Gatsby lit a cigar and took a puff, letting the smoke of the cigar swirl in his mouth to feel to more fragrance.

"How was it? Is it better than last time?" James Dolan smiled.

"Indeed, it's much better. Why is the fragrance so strong this time?" James Dolan didn't come to him to taste cigars, but Gatsby was not in a hurry and asked along the way.

"This batch is a collection of Danneman's. The vintage is relatively good, and of course the price is much more expensive." James Dolan said with a smile.

"It's worth it. Good things are naturally expensive." Gatsby enjoyed it quite a bit.

"That's true, Gatsby, I heard Mike say that you have some opinions on recruiting superstars next season?" James Dolan asked.

Gatsby's heart skipped a beat, here he comes.

"That's just chatting, but Stoudemire and Cameron are indeed what we can get with our hard work, and you two should recognize this." Gatsby said.

"You have the same opinion as Isaiah, he is also doing this." James Dolan said.
