Guard With a Knife

The owners of the Clippers are so arrogant. That's the whole reason I refused to buy their shares.

Scarlett Johansson made it very clear in the WhatsApp group.

This group was named 'Duke Regiment Construction Group'.

Prior to this, they instructed the fund manager to approach the Los Angeles Clippers, but Donald Sterling was obviously arrogant. He doesn't think fund manager West can convince Snoopy to join.

He even said: Do you think the Clippers need Snoopy now?

This is a very flamboyant and presumptuous pussy.

But he didn't pretend.

Because, on the second day after he finished playing, ESPN exposed the news: Snoopy asked the Bulls to trade himself.

When he knew the news, he quickly called West. But West has received orders from above: don't turn back.

So Sterling just missed Duke Snoopy.

If God gives him another chance, he will definitely hold West's hand tightly, give up that comparison, and say sincerely and touchingly: Yes, I am willing, I am willing to sell the shares, as long as you can handle it Snoopy!

Donald Sterling is a Jewish man with all the qualities of a shrewd businessman. He knows better than anyone what Snoopy's joining means. As long as you can get Snoopy, even if you transfer a part of the shares, you will only get more.

Donald Sterling understands this truth, and the Bass family understands it even more. After all, the Bass family borrowed money from Donald Sterling when they bought the Lakers.

So when West claimed to walk into the Bass family's office on behalf of the Duchess Women's Foundation, he was greeted with courtesy by all. Including Old Bath, they rushed over from the hospital to attend the meeting.

Now, the whole world knows that Snoopy may leave Chicago, and Chicago is also privately beginning to accept some offers.

I'm definitely not boasting. As we all know, Duke Snoopy has absolute initiative in transaction matters, and our fund can control this initiative. If you allow us to acquire 20% of the shares of the Lakers for US$100 million, Then you just need to hand over your chips.”

West smiled and said: This is the only chance you can get Snoopy. If you want to miss it,

I can only say sorry. Next I will go to Oakland, as you all know, the two new owners of the Warriors Club and the owners of our foundation also have a very deep friendship.

You are robbing!!! Jenny Buss said violently, You know, the current market value of the Lakers is 900 million U.S. dollars, and it is a dream to exchange 100 million U.S. dollars for a 20% stake. !!

West spread his palms and leaned back.

To be honest, he is not a great negotiator.

But he has confidence.

He said calmly: Do you know that you are rejecting the most charismatic superstar in the NBA? I didn't use Magic Johnson's acquisition of 4.5% of the Lakers for $14 million as a comparison. Very empathetic already. Ms. Jenny, if you continue to speak to me in this tone, we can end this session.

He is unflappable.

Jenny Buss was so annoyed that she even jumped up and yelled. In her opinion, the Lakers lineup is already very gorgeous, and there is no need to fight for Snoopy.

However, she has not yet spoken. Old Bass waved to her and told her to leave quickly.

Old Bath was the wisest of the Bath family, even though he was very old. But his ability to judge is still unmatched by his children.

After sending Jenny Buss away, he began to haggle over the shares with West. Then he emphasized that if Snoopy did not agree to the deal in the end, all agreements made today would be automatically voided.

West readily agreed.

They reached an agreement to exchange 19.99% of the shares of the Lakers for US$99.99 million.

Yes, the negotiation session is so boring because they all know that is not the point at all. The point is...Snoopy joins.

If Snoopy joins, the increase in market value will definitely exceed this 100 million US dollars. Since the Bulls acquired Snoopy, their market value has risen from 550 million US dollars to 950 million today, surpassing the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers.

But now, according to Snoopy's contract, they have to make a trade decision.

Because when it was signed, it was destined to be an overlord clause that was completely inclined to Snoopy. Who made the general managers of other teams play tricks on the Bulls at the NBA all-club meeting. In that labor agreement, the player who got the most benefit was Dug, followed by Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant and others.

After West sent Scarlett and others the news that the contract was completed, Scarlett immediately contacted Dug.

But to their surprise, he disappeared completely.

The phone was turned off and WhatsApp was unreachable.

It was as if an ice cube had disappeared into warm water without a trace.

...

Since Tom Thibodeau was promoted to general manager, he has become the busiest man in Chicago.

He spent all his time dealing with the phone bombing of twenty-nine other teams, and countless people even started playing favor cards with him. Danny Ainge, the general manager of his old club Boston Celtics, even chatted with him on the phone for half an hour. Boston is willing to eat any garbage contract, willing to give any chip!

But... the three melons and two dates in Boston are really not worth it. It's not that Thibodeau is gone, but that the Big Three are really old.

And... young players like Oklahoma City are out: Take your pick except Durant. And after an hour, he spoke again: Durant can also choose!

The Celtics' resources are really not enough.

There is also the Rockets, and Morey, who has been in the buckle business all his life, is even more funny. He even proposed taking Kevin Martin, Parsons Chandler and Louis Carla for Doug Gaboozer.

Isn't this just looking for a draw?

Tom Thibodeau directly blocked his phone. No matter what time, come to make trouble!

In contrast, the other two teams in Texas are more sincere, and they also fully agreed: the conditions are open at will, as long as the salary is equal, there is no problem at all.

But... the problem is that these two veteran teams really don't have any bargaining chips to catch their eye.

Looking at the entire league, how many people can barely enter the exchange list?

The Clippers have Paul, the Thunder have Durant, the Miami Heat have James and Wade, New York has Anthony and Stoudemire, and the Lakers have just acquired Howard...

Take your pick from these teams.

The Clippers must have been passed, because the Bulls have no shortage of point guards now, Derrick Rose is in charge, and it is time to rush towards the peak.

Miami and the Thunder must have also been passed, they were originally good trading targets. But Rose didn't want to be teammates with these former rivals, he didn't want to make Doug feel bad.

Not to mention New York at all.

Although Cameron and Stoudemire can complement the Bulls very well, making the Bulls the most luxurious team in the league. But...Dug would definitely use a veto.

So, even now that James Dolan is about to move his office to Chicago, it doesn't matter.

Because it is simply impossible.

Finally, pick and choose.

If you don't consider draft picks and later reconstruction, there is actually only one team that really fits, the Los Angeles Lakers.

The chips given by the Lakers are also very sincere: except for Kobe who picks at will.

His words are actually just nonsense. In this level of transactions, only the Lakers still regard the Black Mamba as a treasure. The Bulls don't need Kobe at the end of his career at all, they thought it was 2007.

The chips of the Golden State Warriors are also very attractive.

Tom Thibodeau looked at the email from Oakland, and he couldn't help saying to Reinsdorf.

The Warriors almost dismantled the entire team. They were willing to trade back and forth with Curry, plus several potential rookies and draft picks for the next few years, they gave everything they could.

Reinsdorf was speechless.

His mind hadn't recovered from the trauma of Snoopy's departure at all. Fans all over Illinois are now roaring, asking what happened? Why Snoopy is leaving.

To be honest, Reinsdorf didn't even understand it himself. How could Snoopy be so angry about a deal that didn't happen? Can brotherhood be more important than a dynasty? Staying in the Bulls is the next Jordan, why leave alone and start from scratch?

He couldn't understand Snoopy's brain circuits at all.

This made him feel very anxious these days.

So, he just took a cursory glance at the Warriors' offer sheet. Then he said impatiently: There is no All-Star, did the Oaklanders learn from Houston's Morey? Do you think we are doing tens of millions of business? We are now trading the second-largest player in NBA history. Michael Jordan's super business superstar! F...K!

Having said that, he couldn't help but cursed again.

This is so frustrating.

A group of chicken thieves also wanted to take advantage of the fire.

Looking at the furious boss, Tom Thibodeau could only silently put an X on the Warriors, even though he knew that the Golden State Warriors were different from the chicken thief of the Houston Rockets, and they really gave everything they had.

But, since the boss disagrees, what else to say?

I'll have a chat with Kupchak and Bass Jr. later, they've arrived in Chicago, Tom Thibodeau said.

Well, kill them hard. We want all of them except Kobe. To make the Lakers sink completely, let Snoopy and the Black Mamba play, anyway, they have wanted to play together for a long time... ...

The more Reinsdorf spoke, the more bitter he became, and the more he spoke, the more he felt like he was about to cry.

It felt like Wanyan Honglie, who had taken care of Bao Xiruo for twenty years, and when Yang Tiexin appeared, Bao Xiruo gave up all his glory and wealth and went to him.

...

Dwight Howard has been a little depressed recently. Before the trade, Kobe Bryant chatted with him every day, talked on the phone and texted him like a couple in love.

Now, the transaction just happened.

This guy turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

He hadn't said a single word of greeting to himself since the shocking news broke out in Chicago. This made him, who was cheerful every day, have a gloomy cloud on his face: It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so heartless, even a domestically violent husband can't treat each other coldly as soon as he gets married.

Am I about to be traded again?

He couldn't help asking his agent.

His agent didn't have the slightest idea, so he could only say: Think in the right direction. Besides, the Chicago Bulls already have Joakim Noah, so they don't need you anymore.

Although this statement is a bit weird, it is logically smooth.

But... Tom Thibodeau, a stubborn academic, is not a person with normal logic in essence. He could not be sure, so he played the Georgetown set, put two iron-blooded defensive centers on the field, and played old-shool in the era when small balls were popular.

Thibodeau can really do this kind of thing.

I don't know what's going to happen next? All I can tell you is that I haven't bought a property in Los Angeles yet.

Dwight Howard said sincerely in an interview with Time Warner TV.

And his sincerity soon became a cause for cheer for Los Angeles fans.

These guys are so... hurtful. The whole world knows that they love Snoopy so much that they are crazy. Since the Orange County Register first published a serial report on the wonder player, the story of the growth of the Duke Dog has been accompanying the people of California.

Now, when they learned that Snoopy will have the opportunity to return to Los Angeles.

Can they not scream with excitement?

In this situation, it is really difficult for them to take into account Mr. Warcraft's feelings.

Although everyone knows that Dwight is the No. 1 center in the NBA and is from Florida, and the last No. 1 center from Orlando won three consecutive championships for the Lakers.

But, that's really different.

He's Snoopy!!!

It's the voice of every Los Angeles fan who can't help but raise a few octaves when they say the Duke's name, a treatment not even Kobe Bryant enjoyed.

After all, Bryant is an outsider, he is from Pennsylvania, and he has Italian experience.

Although Snoopy is a Chinese, it was as early as when he was a top student. The Orange County Register has already made a long report on him. People are watching how he grows from a short man inside who can't dribble to the current superstar who is omnipotent both internally and externally.

This emotion is carried out very thoroughly.

So, how can it be easily replaced?

While looking for Snoopy all over the world, trying to get first-hand information.

His Excellency the Duke posted a long article on his personal homepage, in which he described his recent feelings in painful terms.

Believe me, this is a really tough decision.

When I learned from Derrick Rose that he would choose to leave because of my better development...

When I learned from Armstrong that Derek gave up hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsements for me...

When I knew that our forced combination hurt another person's growth space and court value...

I received Chicago from New York personally by Derek. I will always remember the scene when he hugged me and welcomed me to join Chicago. These three years have passed like a fleeting moment, but the wonderful pictures are always in my mind. We grew up together. , advanced together, and won two championships together...

There are always laughter and laughter in our locker room. Everyone gets along like brothers. Every long flight is always accompanied by dancing and singing. When we return to the home court, the cheers of the scene can always wash away our fatigue and make us feel better. Inspiring...

I have gained so much in Chicago, the unreserved trust of my teammates, the 1000% love of the fans, and the support of the management... This made me kiss the championship trophy for the first time, and let me I reached the first peak of my career...

But now, it's time to say goodbye...
