Chapter 507
Yes! In the previous life, Carlos. Boozer's son developed sickle cell anemia in 2007, when he left the Cavaliers to play for the Utah Jazz. Unexpectedly, after a gentle flap of my butterfly's wings, the drama originally scheduled for 2007 was staged in advance.
My brain didn't turn around in time, and I was there for 2 minutes. Although 2 minutes is not a long time, it is a good match for Carlos. Boozer was definitely a long one, and he was a little anxious, and he shouted at me with a somewhat hideous face:
"Kwame! My salary is only 780,000 a year, and I don't have much money left after deducting daily expenses, plus I bought casino shares some time ago, and now I don't have more money at all, and even I borrowed a large part of the money to buy casino shares! β
"Kwame! Lend me a million! I can use casino shares as collateral! When I get the big contract, I'll definitely pay it back to you! β
"Even if you ask me to sell you the shares of the casino!"

Chauncey. Seeing that I didn't speak quietly, Billups thought I was a little reluctant, so he hurriedly added: "Kwamei, in fact, Carlos didn't plan to borrow money from you, originally planned, a few of us can get together, and it's almost enough!" But I didn't expect this time with Danny. Fortson clashed, and several of us were banned, so we didn't have much moneyγγγγγ β
The salaries of NBA stars are indeed not low, but their tax burden is also quite high, like Billups and Larry.BA players spend so much that they basically can't save a few dollars in a year, which is why so many NBA stars declare bankruptcy within a few years after retiring.
Carlos. Boozer's face was full of anticipation, and he was expecting an affirmative answer from my mouth, an answer that would temporarily solve his current predicament.
This is the affirmative answer. I will definitely give it, although I do not have the ability to help all the people in need in this world, but I still have the ability to help the people around me get out of some difficulties. Especially when they are having trouble with money.
I didn't speak, I just reached out and pulled open the drawer of the bedside table. Took out my bag, took out my checkbook, tore off a check, filled in the amount, signed my name, stamped my seal, and raised my hand to hand it to Carlos. Boozer, said: "2 million! Enough is enough!"
Carlos. Boozer's eyes were filled with moisture. He seemed to be holding back the tears from rolling down his eyes, reached out to take the check, and said excitedly and vaguely, "Enough! That's enough! β
Chauncey. Billups, Larry. Hughes, Brandon. The three Haywood had a happy smile on their faces, and they were happy that the matter was coming to a successful conclusion, especially Larry. Hughes, he said poorly:
"I'll just say it! The problem of money is to find Kwamei, 1 million is as big as a mountain for us, but for Kwamei, it is just a hair of his hair! See, Carlos needs 1 million. And Kwamei directly threw out 2 million, this is the strength, this is the gap... β
Chauncey. Billups reached out his left hand and touched his bare head. He said with an embarrassed face: "Are you still afraid that Kwame won't lend money to Carlos?" β
"Do you think Kwame is like you Grande? said that I would lend Carlos 500,000, and you lent Carlos 500,000, but you promised well, but now, you actually said that you don't have so much money in your hand? You have a salary of five or six million a year, and you actually say that you have no money in your hand, who do you say believe it?" Larry. Hughes shot back.
"I really don't have any money, I bought a house in St. Bide some time ago, and it cost me almost $6 million. Where do I have any cash in my hand! Now I still have a loan of nearly 1 million in the bank? "Chauncey. Billups said aggrievedly: "I originally wanted to save a few weeks' salary, let's make it up." I was able to get 500,000, but I didn't expect this to happen. My salary was stopped directly... β
Looking at Chauncey. Billups looked aggrieved, and I also felt a little sorry in my heart, after all, they were punished because of me, and they beat Danny violently in order to stand up for me. Fortson's, and now that my boss who pays them no longer pays, I'm really upset.
"Hey!" I frowned and sighed, and said slowly, "If only I could pay you a salary, I don't lack this money, but it's really easy to be fooled by that bastard David. Stern got the handle! If we are caught by him, we will have to shed our skin if we don't die! β
"Damn Stern!" Brandon. Heywood said through gritted teeth.
There was silence in the hospital room, and all five of us were caught up in David. Stern didn't speak for a full minute in his rage.
Larry. Hughes looked up, broke the brief silence in the room and said, "Kwame! What do we do next? I mean, what do a couple of us need to do during the lockdown? We can't just wander around outside all day while you're playing! β
Or Larry. Hughes didn't mean anything else, but my heart couldn't help but tremble! Larry. Hughes and a few people stopped for two or three months, and during these two or three months, they were all free to do whatever they wanted, and there was no one to restrain them at all! And this unconstrained few months is prone to problems, as in the article of the year. Baker had nothing to do and drank, Sean. Camp had nothing to do and went to take drugs, which directly ruined his career!
You can't let them be idle, you need to find something for them to do ...
My brain was running at high speed, hoping to find something that would constrain their activities and make sense to the Wizards.
Organize them to go to community events?
There are only a few communities in Washington, just a few orphanages, and you can't stay in those communities and orphanages every day! In that case, NBA stars are too worthless!
Organize them to play in amateur leagues?
These five people can form a team, but they don't even have a bench, and they are used to the NBA level, and they really don't necessarily look at those amateur leagues.
Organize them to host fan meetings across the United States?
This is the time when they are being shouted and beaten by everyone. Wouldn't it be a whole thing to find rotten eggs and beat your face when you go out to organize a fan meeting?

Thinking, thinking, my brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I remembered the movie I had seen in my last life called "Jordan's Descendants". Why don't I write this script and let these guys take advantage of the suspension to tinker with it, so that they can also promote the Wizards positively.
Thinking about everything, I looked up and smiled at Larry. Hughes said: "How about you going to make a movie during the suspension? β
"Movies?" The four of them asked in unison in surprise!
"That's right! It's a movie! I smiled confidently and replied, "I'm going to write a script, a script that will promote our team, and the four of you will be the main actors in it. Lee discussed, let him direct this movie, I will make this movie the best competitive movie of the year, I will make this movie... "I'm looking forward to it.
But my longing was Chaunceon. Billups interrupted: "Kwamei! You're not dreaming, are you? We only have less than two months, and you haven't even written a script yet, and you haven't chosen the actors or anything, isn't it a little too idealistic, and besides, we haven't acted in any movies or anything... β
"Yes! Now I don't even have a script, how can I act? Besides, none of us have acted in any movies, so don't mess up your investment... "Larry. Hughes also said timidly.
"Hah... I laughed and said very confidently: "I've been thinking about this script for a long time, and I'm very sure that this will be a very good work, and once this movie is released, I believe that the Washington Wizards' popularity in the United States and even the world will go to the next level!" Of course... β
I paused and looked playfully at Chauncey, who was still biting the dog and the cat just now. Billups and Larry. Hughes glanced at the two of them and said playfully: "Of course I will pay you enough, I guarantee that he will not lose a penny less than your losses due to suspension... β
"What do you sayγγγγγ" Brandon. Heywood's eyes widened and he looked at me very excitedly, and asked very uncertainly, "You say that the losses we have caused due to the suspension can be made through filming?"
I smiled and nodded, indicating that what I said was true.
But Chauncey. Billups and Larry. Hughes and Hughes were obviously a little unconvinced, and the two of them asked in unison, "Really?" β
"Really!" Once again, I solemnly stated my position and explained: "This incident has been reported by David. With Stern's publicity, the reputation of our Wizards is stinky this time, and if we don't take a little action, it will cause us immeasurable damage, and we have to do something! β
I paused, glanced around the room at the other four people, and when I saw that they were all listening solemnly, I continued: "We have to make positive publicity for our brawl, and there is no better publicity than a film that has a profound impact. β
"Is it a basketball movie?" Carlos. Boozer seemed a little nervous, and he stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, asking in a low voice.
I nodded and said seriously, "The story starts with this brawl between us and the Mavericks, the four of you are suspended, and the whole people shout and fightγγγγγγ (To be continued)
