Nine Hundred and Fifteen: [Transaction Confirmation]
Snoopy's final farewell letter shattered the last fantasy of Chicago fans.
From the long and affectionate text, they finally understood the reason why the Duke left.
It was not for his own interests, but he did not want to be a hero who invaded Derrick's space.
At the same time, the big deal that was publicly stopped was fully explained. Doug did not want Rose to leave, although everyone knew that Rose's departure would be a better choice for the Bulls, Snoopy personally, or Derrick Rose personally.
However, Snoopy could not get over that level.
He could not accept the fact that the original owner of the room was thrown away because of his arrival.
Although no one would blame him for this, because the NBA is a business league after all.
As long as he accepts all this silently, people will still give him the most fanatical pursuit and the most crazy love. And he will fully enjoy the fruits of victory once he wins three consecutive championships. His status will reach an incredible level.
"But this bastard didn't do that." Jimmy Butler said in an interview, with a look of confusion on his face: "I don't know why he left because of Derek. Can't he stay because of me? He is my best brother and best teacher in the NBA." Snoopy did not respond to his question. Just like... Joakim Noah even shed tears in front of the camera: "This bastard always does such incredible things. What we think is extremely precious is worthless to him, and the code of conduct he thinks is extremely precious is something we can't understand at all." "I really really hope he can stay. I can't imagine what the Chicago Bulls will become without him!" When Joakim Noah said this, tears fell from both eyes at the same time. This makes it impossible to associate the actions he took to isolate Snoopy. It has to be said that the Duke is an infectious and charismatic person. He always makes people around him remember him and respect him. Why can't he be a little selfish? 》
The headline of the Chicago Tribune expressed the voice of all Bulls fans. They could understand Doug's decision, but they couldn't accept it.
Almost everyone thought: Why do you have to bear this kind of self-blame? Why should professional sports talk about personal feelings? Although it is difficult for us to give up Derrick, if Derrick is traded to Golden State, we will only feel sorry for a while, and then hug you harder. Can't you just pretend that nothing happened?
The Duke's departure statement can be said to have subverted the perception of the NBA.
The NBA's most commercially valuable superstar, the winner of two consecutive Finals MVPs, chose to leave because he didn't want his teammates to suffer. This is something that has never happened in sports history.
And this... just proves that the Duke has a heart as bright as a diamond.
Whether you are a fan or not, you can't help but cheer for him and be moved by him.
Because not everyone can give up the kingdom they have built with their own hands and go to another country to start over. You know, Doug is only one step away from dominating the league. As long as he wins three consecutive championships, LeBron and Durant, superstars of the same level as him, will be knocked down by him.
Now, when this open letter was sent.
The two of them were the most relieved. When Doug left the Bulls, although the Bulls were still one of the strongest teams in the East, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to win three consecutive championships.
However, they didn't know at this time. Both Presti and Pat Riley were in contact with the Bulls.
Although the whole world knows that these two small forwards represent the highest level of the NBA, why not do it if Snoopy can be exchanged?
Pat Riley has always been thinking about reconciliation. Presti is also facing salary pressure at this time. He has already started to trade James Harden, but if Snoopy can be dealt with. He can completely let go of Ibaka while trading Durant. Anyway, the Duke is omnipotent, from inside to outside, one person can be used as five people.
But unfortunately, the Bulls can't do business with them.
This is Derrick Rose's bottom line.
At the same time that Snoopy decided to leave, Rose has become the absolute core of the Bulls in the next ten years. Reinsdorf will only try to repair their relationship now, instead of offending Rose.
...
"It must be very hard to make such a decision?"
Kobe Bryant was lying in the luxurious French palace of Duke Snoopy. Their houses were not far apart, about a five-minute drive.
He had been with Snoopy during the days he disappeared.
He did not come here for the Lakers trade, but he thought from the bottom of his heart that the puppy needed a friend to accompany him now.
After all, Chicago was his foundation, two consecutive championships! It was only one step away from the three consecutive championships, so he gave up just like that...
"It's okay. I don't lack the courage to start over." Doug said calmly.
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "I have never missed the finals."
"So, which team do you want to go to? Lakers?" Bryant asked. This was the first time he talked about the content of the trade. When he said the word Lakers, his heart almost jumped into his throat.
The puppy raised his eyebrows: "To tell you frankly, my first choice is the Golden State Warriors, which is closer to Silicon Valley. I know it is always programmed outside that I like Hollywood, but in fact I love those startups more. They can Let my assets skyrocket.”
"However, this is not something I can decide. I guess... the Golden State Warriors don't have enough chips to interest Chicago."
As soon as Doug said this, Kobe couldn't wait to ask: "So what do you think is the bargaining chip for Chicago's interest?"
Seeing the anxious look on Black Mamba's face, the puppy couldn't help but chuckle, and then said: "What I can be sure of is: it's definitely not you. Your current transaction value is too low."
This makes Black Mamba very angry.
He even wanted to grab Doug's neck. At this time, Daphne walked in: "Hey, you two better keep some distance. My father will come over later. It is easy for my father to think that you are so close." Very good stuff.”
"Remember, Kobe. Don't make fun of my marriage."
Daphne warned.
Yes, recently the two families have started talking about marriage again.
This sounds like good news, but Doug still has a headache about it, because the Duke group has been planning to become a bridesmaid, and Snoopy can't even imagine such a scene.
Is it like the jokes circulating on the Internet: I wish the bride and groom a long life together, and I wish the bridegroom and bridesmaids will have a baby soon?
Ding dong!
At this moment, Bryant's cell phone rang with a message. He looked down, with ecstasy on his face, and then screamed: "Wow!! The transaction will be confirmed soon."
