Guard With a Knife

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. "Star Dream Manufacturing Company" will shoot a live-action version of this classic cartoon.

When the brothers in the hard training group learned that the company of the little duke had obtained this classic IP, they all offered themselves: I want to play the beast.

Each has its own reasons.

Westbrook thinks he looks distinctive, Harden thinks he's hairy like a monster, Kevin Love thinks he's huge, and Paul George thinks he's tailor-made for the role.

Snoopy's answer was unanimous: I will not let my movie be ruined by your hands.

In fact, not even the rumored Snoopy himself is in the main cast. He didn't want to run amok in the movie he invested in. Movies should be handled by professionals.

Of course, as a top traffic with a strong appeal, he doesn't mind acting as a supporting role for embellishment. 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, except for the fifteen days in the training camp. The rest of the time is basically cut into pieces by various arrangements. For example, starting from mid-July, he will go to Europe for a two-week promotion and two concerts in London and Paris.

In August, he will return to Beijing to hold a solo concert and start a five-city tour in Asia.

Immediately after returning to the United States, two more films were shot. Coupled with two consecutive concerts at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, he basically doesn't have much personal time.

"I'm a money-making machine."

Sometimes, Snoopy will be so self-deprecating.

...

Chicago's huge salary pressure finally failed to hold back, and the Bulls began to make subtractions.

On draft night, the Chicago Bulls sent away James Johnson, traded him as a bargaining chip in exchange for the No. 19 pick, and chose Daphne's signed player Jimmy Butler.

Subsequently, it was announced that it would not match the contract offered by the New Jersey Nets to Bogans. In addition, the Chicago media revealed that the Bulls have stopped negotiating with Ronnie Brewer and CJ Watson.

This means that the Bulls' huge small forward phalanx last season was instantly cleared, and the four major bench bandits left at the same time.

Coupled with Stephen Marbury who has retired from the NBA, most of the Bulls' championship team has left!

This is very rare in the history of the NBA. Generally, few championship teams will take the initiative to disband their teams.

But there is no way, the salary pressure is too great.

James Johnson, Bogans, Brewer, and Watson all have expiring contracts except for James Johnson, who is a team option. They won the championship as bench gangsters, and their worth has risen accordingly. The Bulls want to renew all of them. Come down, at least 13 million a year as a base, 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 maximum salary contract, and Joakinoah's annual salary of tens of millions will also come into effect next season. Coupled with the buyout of Eddie Curry, who is still included in the salary space, the two tens of millions of annual salaries of Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng... I can't afford it!

Moreover, based on Taj Gibson's performance this year, after squeezing his last child labor next year, his salary will definitely go straight to tens of millions.

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 some veterans will accept the basic salary for the championship and join the Bulls.

...

Although Snoopy had some opinions on the matter of trading James Johnson, he finally nodded. After all, he didn't have a lot of room to live in Chicago, but when he went to Toronto, he even had a chance to attack the core of the perimeter.

This is actually a good choice for his career prospects.

With James Johnson leaving from Chicago, the little duke suddenly felt a little sad. He found that the Bulls locker room no longer has the old Knicks. Eddie went to Toronto last year, and James Johnson also went this year. After that, they will meet up to 3 times each season. As for Stephen Marbury, he even traveled across the ocean to the homeland of the little duke.

For Marbury now, the spiritual pursuit far outweighs the financial desire.

Frankly speaking, with his performance last season and the blessing of the championship, he can go to any team to sign a full middle class.

In fact, many teams aiming to get the little duke have long been eager to invite him, hoping to play a good positive role. Especially the Lakers who lack point guards, they even offered Marbury a two-year contract of 11.3 million.

However, the old horse has made up his mind to go.

It can be regarded as investing in another stage of life.

The farewell phone call with James Johnson was a very painful thing. The little duke hesitated for a long time, and after a long time of wording, he dialed the phone.

But before he could speak, James Johnson took the initiative to say that going to Toronto is a good thing, there are more opportunities there, and Eddie Curry is there.

At the same time, he thanked Snoopy for taking care of him in the past two years. He believed that these two years 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 court, you can rest assured that you will hand over your back to Joakim Noah. He is a reliable person, and I have trained his boxing skills. No one will sneak up on you from behind."

It was fine before.

But when he said this, the little duke's nose suddenly became a little sore.

Then he said, "Go to your Toronto and make a lot of money, you third-rate boxer!"

...

The little duke has always been an emotional person, he will take the initiative to protect and take care of those who follow him.

This is why after the draft, when he was interviewed in Los Angeles, he clearly told reporters: "I think Leonard is the strongest player in this year's rookie."

"Clay will be one of the best shooters in the NBA. Jimmy Butler has the blood and drive of a counter-attacker, and Kemba Walker. I like his solid style of play very much."

Snoopy praised all the young players who knew him well and had a good relationship.

Because these guys all attended his training camp last year and have a good relationship with him.

Although this year's No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving, also participated in his training camp, he was not satisfied with the aggressiveness shown by him and Barnes.

Therefore, he just expressed his blessing in passing.

Snoopy is such a clear love and hate.

Of course, his words were quickly spread by the media. After all, he is now the NBA's single-season Grand Slam winner, and he promises everything.

Soon, those draft experts refuted his words.

Think of him as nepotism.

Among the draft experts, Kyrie Irving far surpassed all the rookies whose name was mentioned by Snoopy.

Moreover, they think that guys like Derrick Williams, Tristan Thompson, and Kanter are better than these late first-round rookies.

Among them, the point they are most committed to is.

"Gimme Freddie is a phenomenal shooter. Snoopy doesn't understand the ball at all. He has inherited the draft vision of Chicago's ace player. Don't let him enter the draft situation room!"

"Snoopy always prefers role players who are good defensively. Look at the names he mentioned. Without exception, they are all team players. I think this is caused by his personal experience. He went from blue-collar center to Up to now, he thinks that others are too. It's like Michael Jordan, who always thinks that the person who jumps high is the potential superstar!"

Continue to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. Many friends have given rewards these days, and I will use three chapters to update tomorrow to thank them one by one.
