"The owner of the Clippers is too arrogant. That's the whole reason why I refused to buy their shares. ”

Scarlett Johansson said clearly in the WhatsApp group.

This group was named the 'Duke Regiment Building Group'.

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

He even said, "Do you think the Clippers need Snoopy right now?" ”

This is a very flamboyant and presumptuous force.

But he didn't pretend.

Because, the day after he finished loading, ESPN revealed the message: Snoopy asked the Bulls to trade him.

When he learned this message, he quickly called West. But West had already received an order from above: not to eat back grass.

So, Sterling missed the Duke of Snoopy.

If God gave him a chance to do it again, he would have held West's hand tightly, gave up the match, and said sincerely and movingly, "Yes, I am willing, I am willing to give up the shares, as long as you can get Snoopy!" ”

Donald Sterling is a Jew who has all the qualities of a savvy businessman. He knows better than anyone what Snoopy's arrival means. As long as you can get Snoopy, even if you transfer some of your shares, you will only get more.

Donald Sterling understands this truth, and the Bass family understands it even more. After all, the Buss family bought the Lakers back then, or borrowed money from Donald Sterling.

So, when West claimed to be representing the Duke's Woman Foundation into the Bath family's office, he was courteous to everyone. Including the old Bass, they all rushed from the hospital to attend the meeting.

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

"I'm definitely not boasting. As we all know, Duke Snoopy has absolute initiative in transactions, and our fund can influence this initiative. If you're going to allow us to buy 20 percent of the Lakers for $100 million, then all you have to do is hand over your chips. ”

West laughed and said, "This is your only chance to get Snoopy." If you're going to miss it, all I can say is a pity. I'm going to head to Oakland next, and as you know, the two new owners of the Warriors Club also have a deep friendship with the owners of our foundation. ”

"You're robbing !!!" Jeanie Buss said very irritablely: "You must know that the Lakers' current market value is $900 million, and $100 million wants to exchange for 20% of the equity, which is a dream!" ”

West spread his palms and leaned back.

To be honest, he wasn't a brilliant negotiator.

But he just has the confidence.

He said calmly: "Do you know you're rejecting the NBA's most appealing superstar? I didn't compare it with Magic Johnson's $14 million acquisition of 4.5% of the Lakers' shares, which is already very empathetic. Ms. Jenny, if you continue to speak to me in that tone, we can end this meeting. ”

He was calm.

Jeanie Bass was so angry that she even jumped up and shouted. In her opinion, now that the Lakers' roster is very gorgeous, there is no need to fight for Snoopy at all.

However, her words were not yet spoken. Old Bas waved at her and told her to hurry away.

Old Bass was the smartest man in the Bass family, even though he was too old to speak. But his ability to judge is still unmatched by his children.

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

West agreed.

They reached an agreement for $99.99 million in exchange for a 19.99% stake in the Lakers.

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

If Snoopy joins, the market value will definitely rise by more than this hundred million dollars. Since the Bulls acquired Snoopy, their market value has risen from $550 million 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 trading decision.

Because when it was signed, it was destined to be a bully clause that was completely inclined to Snoopy. Who made the general managers of other teams bad for the Bulls at the NBA all-club convention at that time? In that collective bargaining agreement, the player who got the most benefit was Dugg, followed by Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant and others.

After West sent the message of the contract to Scarlett and the others, Scarlett immediately contacted Duge.

But to their surprise, he disappeared completely.

The phone is turned off, and WhatsApp cannot be connected.

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

……

Tom Thibodeau has been the busiest man in all of Chicago since he was promoted to general manager.

He spent all his time dealing with phone bombardment from twenty-nine other teams, and countless people even started playing the favor card with him. His former club, the general manager of the Boston Celtics, Danny Angie, even chatted with him on the other end of the phone for half an hour about his co-worker years, hoping to trade Dugg to Boston based on the time he once had together. Boston is willing to eat any garbage contract, willing to give any chips!

But... Boston's three melons and two dates are really unsightly. It's not that Thibodeau is floating, but the Big Three are really old.

Moreover... Youth armies like the Thunder have all come out: except for Durant, you can pick whatever you want. And an hour later, he spoke again: Durant can also be picked!

The Celtics' resources are just not enough.

There are also rockets, and Morey, who has been in the buckle rope business all his life, is even more funny. He even offered to trade Kevin Martin, Parsons Chandler plus Louis Cra for Duggaboozer.

Isn't this a special draw?

Tom Thibodeau directly blocked his phone. When is it, still come to make trouble!

In contrast, the other two teams in Texas are much more sincere, and they are also full of promises: the conditions are arbitrary, as long as the salaries are equal, there is no problem at all.

But... The problem is that these two old powerhouses really don't have any bargaining chips to get into now.

Looking at the entire league, how many people can barely make it to 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 Howard .......

Take your pick from these teams.

The Clippers are definitely passing, because the Bulls have no shortage of point guards right now, and Derrick Rose is in charge, and it's time to run wild towards the top.

Miami and the Thunder have certainly been passed, and they would have been good trade partners. But Rose didn't want to be teammates with these former rivals, and he didn't want to make Dugg uncomfortable.

As for New York, there is no need to mention it at all.

Although Cameron and Stoudemire can complement the Bulls very well, making the Bulls the most luxurious team in the league. But... Dugg will certainly use a veto.

So, even if James Dolan is about to move his office to Chicago now, it won't be of much use.

Because it's simply not possible.

Finally, pick and choose.

If you don't consider draft picks and later rebuilds, 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 Bryant, who picks them at will.

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

"The Golden State Warriors' chips are also very tempting."

Tom Thibodeau looked at the email from Auckland, and he couldn't help but say to Reinsdorf.

The Warriors have pretty much torn down the entire team, and they're willing to trade Curry back and forth, plus a couple of potential rookies and draft picks for years to come, and they've given away everything they can.

Reinsdorf was dumbfounded.

His mind hadn't woken up from the devastation of Snoopy's departure. Now fans all over Illinois are roaring and asking what the hell is going on? Why is Snoopy leaving.

To be honest, Reinsdorf himself has not even figured it out. How did Snoopy get like this with a deal that didn't happen? Can brotherly feelings be more important than dynasties? Staying with the Bulls is the next Jordan, why leave alone and start from scratch?

He simply couldn't understand Snoopy's brain circuits.

This has made him feel very anxious for the past few days.

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

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but curse again.

This is so embarrassing.

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

Looking at the angry boss, Tom Thibodeau could only silently play an X at the Warriors, even though he knew that the Golden State Warriors were different from the Houston Rockets' chicken thief, and they really gave it their all.

But, since the boss doesn't agree, what else is there to say?

"I'll talk to Kupchak and Bass Jr., they've arrived in Chicago." Tom Thibodeau said.

"Well, slaughter them hard. We all want it except Kobe. If you want the Lakers to sink completely, let's let Snoopy and the Black Mamba play, they've wanted to play together for a long time anyway......"

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

This feels like taking care of Bao Xi's weakness for 20 years, as soon as Yang Tiexin appeared, Bao Xiweak gave up all his glory and wealth to him.

……

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

Now, the deal has just happened.

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

He hadn't greeted himself even a word since the shocking news broke out in Chicago. This made him feel sad every day: It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so ruthless, even if it is a domestic violence husband, it is impossible to treat each other coldly as soon as he gets married.

Am I going to be traded again?

He couldn't help but ask his agent.

His agent didn't have a little bottom in his heart, he could only say: "Everything is thinking in a good direction." Besides, the Chicago Bulls already have Joaquin Noah, so there's no need for them to ask for you anymore. ”

It's a bit weird, but it makes a lot of sense.

But... Tom Thibodeau, a stubborn academic, is not a normal logical person by nature. He couldn't guarantee that he would play the Georgetown game, put two iron-clad defensive centers on the court, and play old-school in the era of small ball.

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 very sincerely in an interview with Time Warner TV.

And his sincerity soon became a reason for the Los Angeles fans to cheer.

These guys are too... It hurts. The world knows they love Snoopy to the point of madness, and the story of the Duke dog's coming-of-age has been with Californians since the Orange County Chronicle first published a serialized report on UCLA's Wonder Players.

Now, when they learn that Snoopy will have a chance 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 he 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!!"

That's what every Los Angeles fan is saying, and they can't help but raise a few octaves when they read the Duke's name, a treatment that not even Kobe Bryant has ever enjoyed.

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

Although Snoopy is a Chinese, he was back when he was a UCLA top student. The Orange County Chronicle has already done a long story about how he has grown from a short inside man who can't dribble to the superstar he is now capable of doing everything inside and out.

This emotion is carried out thoroughly.

So, how can it be easily replaced?

And when the whole world is looking for Snoopy, trying to get first-hand information.

The Duke posted a long post on his personal page, in which he described his recent feelings in very painful terms.

"Rest assured, it's a really tough decision."

"When I learned from Derrick Rose that he was going to leave because of my better development......"

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

"When I knew that our forcible combination hurt the growth space of another person and the value of the court......"

"I was personally brought to Chicago from New York by Derek, and I will always remember him hugging me and welcoming me to Chicago. The past three years have passed like a white horse, but the wonderful picture has always remained in my mind, we have grown together, advanced together, and won two championships together......"

"There was always a lot of laughter in our dressing room, we were all like brothers, and there was always dancing and singing on every long flight. And when we return to our home stadium, the cheers from the crowd always wash away our fatigue and make us uplifted......"

"I've gained so much in Chicago, the unreserved trust of my teammates, the 1,000 percent love from the fans, and the support of the management...... It was my first kiss on the championship trophy and the first peak of my career......"

"But now, the time has come to separate......"
