Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 609 [Bulls trade, defenders come to vote]

Of course, what Stephanie imagined didn't happen, and there were more people in the villa than she imagined.

At night, she lived with Xia Baowen's brother and sister, and Wang Jun was worried that Wang Leying would see her going to the toilet at night, which would frighten her into a heart attack.

Early the next morning, Stephanie went to look for Aken. She came in a hurry and didn't have any clothes to change, so she went there in a ghostly manner. And Aken only listened to the voice, not the appearance, and successfully signed the contract.

She called to report the good news, and Akon promised to help her find a music style, as long as he was satisfied, she could release an album in the future.

Because she was happy, Stephanie proposed to invite Wang Jun and others to go to the restaurant for dinner.

Wang Jun refused. "Forget it, haven't you officially worked yet? It won't be too late to invite you after you release your album and become famous. Now we are all richer than you, and one family runs a restaurant."

Wang Leying also said: "Yes. I believe you will be famous."

"Really?" Stephanie was very happy, who doesn't like being praised?

"Of course, we all liked you very much in "The Extreme". You and that handsome guy were very conspicuous." Song Ting continued.

The two weirdos, of course, are conspicuous.

Stephanie took it as a compliment. "Taylor will be very happy to know, Wang, you are such a good person. We thought that when we saw you again, you would not know us."

"My memory is not that bad. Also, don't give out good card randomly."

Wang Jun's help is just a matter of little effort. After graduation, Stephanie dawdled around with the dream of becoming a singer.

After hearing about this incident, Ajiali also wanted to be a singer. She has a good voice and good looks. But her family has a big business, and she must enter the family business in the future.

Stephanie is a familiar, lively person. Not at all restrained, I was happy to play in Los Angeles for three days before flying home.

She packed up her things and was going to Atlanta to report that Uzik's headquarters was there. Her job is to write and compose songs for the company's artists. If you have something that suits you, you can also ask Aken to give some advice. Then audition.

At this time, Wang Jun and others only regarded Stephanie as a young man pursuing her dreams, and never thought of the amazing achievements she would make in the future.

In fact, being able to roam the streets at will is an astonishing achievement for an apparently mentally ill patient.

While Wang Jun was on vacation in Los Angeles,

Hinrich officially left, the team did not match the contract.

Wang Jun called to bless Hinrich and understood the management's choice. It's a pity that old teammates can't fight side by side. But with such an obvious premium contract of 65 million in five years, the Bulls would be crazy if they kept him.

Paxson's offers to Hinrich are all reversed, and the salary is reduced year by year, so that the luxury tax can be paid less. Even if the Eagles offer an annual salary of 60 million, the Bulls dare not match it.

The Bulls will not throw out big contracts just because the players are suitable for tactics, it depends on the price/performance ratio.

With Wang Jun around, Hinrich didn't have much possession of the ball. He waited for the opportunity to shoot three-pointers on the outside after halftime. He was a pure role player. If you don't renew his contract, you can find a guard with similar strength in the 5-year space of 48 million.

There are no big names in the free market. Luol Deng wanted to leave the Bulls, which happened to be a bargaining chip for someone.

Paxson doesn't consider keeping Luol Deng.

It is an unspoken rule of the NBA that many players will be replaced in the contract year, and it is never a good thing to force them to stay. They made it clear they wanted to leave. Can you play well in the new season? When you play, you have to brush up the data and strive for a big contract.

It doesn't matter if it's a bad team. If such a player appears on a strong team, the entire system will be disrupted, and conflicts will occur in the locker room.

In the last year, many teams also worried that Luol Deng would leave after playing well and could not renew his contract. Therefore, only teams with sufficient salary space are interested in him. The Bulls have only one trading target, and that is the Raptors.

The Raptors lacked an outstanding swingman. Calderon was forced to start multiple games at the 2 position. Peterson was poached by the Hornets, which made their prospects for the new season not good.

Raptors management considered two options. One is to poach Heat free agent Jason Kapono in the free market, which cannot be dug with a low salary. The Heat can keep people. If the middle class is paid 24 million in four years, it is likely to be a bad contract. The whole league knows that Kapono has poor defense and is only good at shooting three-pointers.

The Raptors' defense was mediocre. Last season, No. 1 pick Bargnani was heartbreakingly weak. If Kapono came and started again, they would be unable to defend.

Sam Mitchell, who won the best coach last season, of course wants to lead the Raptors a step further. Luol Deng is an excellent small forward who can attack and defend, which is just right for the team.

After Paxson took the initiative to contact, the Raptors management attached great importance to it.

However, as soon as Paxson stated his goal, the negotiations reached an impasse, because the Bulls wanted starting point guard TJ Ford.

Ford and the Raptors renewed their contract for 4 years in advance last season, with an amount of 32 million. Considering that the contract is not long and the price is not high, it is considered a great value.

Ford averaged 30 minutes per game last season, with 14 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists. His breakthrough was unstoppable, and he was an important contributor to the Raptors' division championship.

After research, Paxson and others are optimistic about Ford's ability to break through and counterattack. His speed is amazing, if it is not for the potential injury, it is likely to be another Iverson. He can play a role when he comes, and he is much cheaper than Hinrich.

Ford and Duhon share playing time, and it is enough to play 25 to 30 minutes a game to ensure physical fitness and reduce potential injuries.

As long as the deal is reached, the Bulls will be able to hit their opponents to vomit blood in a counterattack next season.

The Raptors management held a meeting to discuss, and agreed that Ford could not be let go, the offensive power of the pick-and-roll dropped sharply, and there was no outsider who could attack with the ball.

The deal is fine, they are only willing to send backup guard Calderon.

Spanish defender Calderon joined the NBA as a non-draft. His efficiency is not low. He averaged 8.7 points and 5 assists in 21 minutes per game.

As a heavy guard, Kelderon is not fast, has poor lateral movement, defense is not as reliable as Hinrich, and the offensive style of the two is similar.

Paxson thought again and again that if he didn't change guards, Duhon alone would definitely not be able to stand up next season, so he proposed that the Raptors add a protected first-round pick.

Calderon has rich experience in the game and is very accurate in three-pointers. These characteristics are suitable for the Bulls. Most importantly, his salary next season is only 2.47 million, almost half of Luol Deng's, much cheaper than Hinrich.

Everyone in the management believes that there will be no better bargaining chips, and other teams are not as short of swingmen as the Raptors.

The two parties finally made a decision and the deal was concluded.

The Bulls don't need Calderon to play good numbers, they just need to be a qualified role player.

The transaction was officially announced, and Luol Deng was very happy.

He understands the situation of the Raptors and knows that this team lacks small forwards. Although the team has two stars and a champion, they are both young and have no record or qualifications. He will get a chance to perform.

If he helps the Raptors break through, his popularity will definitely increase.

The only fly in the ointment is that joining the Raptors has to go to Canada and live in Toronto. This is the reality, Luol Deng is not a superstar, and it is not up to him to decide where he wants to go.
