Guard With a Knife

After the Lord Duke arrived in Chicago, he did not choose to meet Gary Forman or Reinsdorf for the first time. He went to Rose's residence in the morning of the next day.

On this matter, he hopes to have a frank and open chat with Derek.

And his decision led to a series of dramatic and unreasonable development trajectories.

Because he had just arrived at Derek's luxurious manor, he ran into Armstrong who was in a hurry. This well-known agent from the Wasserman Media Group, the nation's second largest brokerage company, is looking anxious. It can be seen that he is in great trouble.

He finally persuaded Derek Rose to choose to leave, but in the end... he was directly rejected by the Bulls just before the trading distance was officially closed. This made the Golden State Warriors into a huge anger, and they felt that they were being fooled.

There are also sponsors who are equally angry. They have even prepared a new contract renewal worth 200 million US dollars. As a result, now that Rose cannot go to the Golden State, he continues to grow under the wings of the Duke, and his commercial value will inevitably be greatly reduced.

And this guy Rose is actually relieved, it seems that he doesn't want the sponsorship contract worth 200 million dollars at all.

Is Snoopy really worth your sacrifice?

Armstrong almost roared and questioned, but Rose always responded with consistent silence.

And when he walked out of the room with Adidas' contract over forty pages, he bumped into Duke Snoopy head-on.

Suddenly, his depression and anger, which had nowhere to rest, found a vent.

"Is this your latest masterpiece? Snoopy!!! In order to make your Duke brand surpass Adi, you would rather abolish Derek than let him look for better opportunities? You are indeed The most selfish player I have ever seen!"

Armstrong questioned like a gun.

This left Du Ge confused and he didn't know what to do.

And Armstrong was still talking there: "Do you know what Derek gave up for you? Chicago was originally his team, he was the pride of Illinois. He originally had absolute authority here. But... After recruiting you, he gave up the ball, the right to speak in the locker room, and the core position..."

"Also, he rejected the sponsorship of hundreds of millions of dollars last year, do you know? He doesn't want to leave here. But now, he is finally convinced by us that he is willing to go to Golden State. Why do you want to stop it? Just because you need one Pippen?"

Armstrong became more and more angry as he spoke, and even handed Adi’s sponsorship contract to Doug.

"Look at what you did well. Snoopy, this is a new contract that the sponsor will execute immediately after the original transaction."

Armstrong handed the heavy contract to Dugge.

Du Ge took a look, his emotions became extremely silent from unknown. In this contract, Adi’s offer is not unreasonably generous.

The 40-page contract shows that from the 2012-2013 season to the 2016-2017 season, the German brand needs to pay Ross about 12 million US dollars a year. In addition, it can also receive up to 6.25 million US dollars in royalties and 480 Ten thousand US dollars in appearance fee and the right to use a private jet. In other words, Ross’s annual contract revenue exceeds $20 million.

Even more shocking is that Rose's family and friends can benefit from this contract. This endorsement contract stipulates that Adidas needs to pay Ross' brother Reggie Ross an annual fee of 250,000 to 300,000 US dollars, and Ross’ childhood friend Randall Hampton should pay an annual salary of 50,000 to 75,000 US dollars. The identities of the two in the contract are Ross's consultant and assistant respectively, and Adidas' expenditure items are called consulting fees.

In addition, Adidas annually sponsors the AAU team and the high school league team that Rose has played for, spending $165,000 and $50,000 in sports equipment, respectively. The full name of the American AAU League () is the American Amateur Athletic Federation, for primary and middle school students. Rose has stated many times that his development is largely due to his performance in the AAU and high school basketball teams.

Du Ge patiently read the main contract terms.

Then he raised his head and looked at BJ Armstrong.

Armstrong was also an NBA player a long time ago. In fact, he is the former owner of the Bulls' No. 10 jersey.

"I need to talk to Derek."

Doug handed back the contract, and then stepped into the room. Entering the living room, Derek's brother was talking about Derek excitedly. When he saw Snoopy coming, he didn't give a good face.

He believes that if Snoopy hadn't gotten in the way, he had now got a job that symbolized the affluent class. With an annual salary of 250,000 US dollars, in addition to getting more from my younger brother, this is on par with the Wall Street elite.

Doug ignored Reggie Ross' bad face, but said to Derek: "Let's talk!"

The two walked to the video room upstairs, then closed the door and started a private chat.

No one knew what they were talking about, although Armstrong and Reggie Ross both wanted to know what was going on inside. They are very worried that Derek will be deceived again. What they have to do now is: desperately instigate Derek to break free from the bull's current situation.

Rose is a man who can be a leader in any team. Why should he be under Snoopy? His energy in all aspects should not be suppressed.

About an hour later, the two came out of the room.

Derek Ross looked very depressed, but Snoopy had a kind of relief.

When he left, he didn't even forget to hug Derek and pat his shoulder.

This made Armstrong and Reggie Ross both fall into a huge panic, and they worried that Snoopy could easily handle Derek again.

When the Duke left, they hurriedly did Derrick Rose's ideological work, trying to persuade him not to be deceived.

But Rose raised his hand impatiently: "Don't try to figure out Snoopy with your selfish thoughts. The emotions between me and him are definitely not the so-called money that can be washed away."

He almost roared.

Both of them were stunned.

After a while, Rose slumped on the sofa, and he said leisurely: "Now you have done what you want. Snoopy will leave Chicago soon. You can get everything you want."

what? ? ?

Reggie Ross and Armstrong both fell into a great shock.

This is something they didn't expect.

After all, everyone knows that the Chicago Bulls are now the hottest team in the NBA. It is the center of the league and symbolizes kingship. As the absolute leader of this team, Snoopy enjoys unprecedented glory and attention. As long as he continues to win a championship and achieve three consecutive championships, he can become active Jordan.

But... he actually wants to give up?

What a benefit this is.

why?

Reggie Ross and Armstrong looked at each other, they couldn't understand this mode of thinking. How could someone spit out the delicacies of the mountains and the sea?

Was Snoopy's head broken?

Even Reggie Ross couldn't help muttering like this.

"Who told Snoopy that I gave up the sponsor's hundreds of millions of endorsement contracts?" Derrick Rose asked, raising his head.

Armstrong was a little panicked for a moment, he hesitated, unable to speak for a while.

"Now, you know that my relationship with him does not involve any interest. I can give up hundreds of millions of contracts for him. Now he is giving up a dynasty for me..."

Derek Rose shook his head helplessly, tears flickering in his eyes.

...

In the end, Doug didn't visit Gary Foreman, he didn't know how to face Foreman.

When Armstrong took out the sponsorship agreement and told him that Rose had made silent sacrifices for himself in the past two years. He suddenly felt that he was exploiting Derek, and when the team prepared to trade Rose behind his back, he even thought he was full of sin.

He is not a person who likes to owe others things, especially not wanting to owe favors.

A large part of the reason for joining the Bulls was because of Rose's sincerity. But now, he became the one who directly forced Ross away, and he couldn't accept this setting.

This thinks that this will put his career in dust, even if he wins ten championship trophies, he can't cover up his inner weakness.

Moreover, he did indeed feel a situation: Chicago's lineup is too strong. Derrick Rose led the team alone, can also make it to the finals, and even win the championship. Although I can sometimes make a conclusion, but overall it is still icing on the cake.

That being the case, why not go to a team that can challenge yourself better?

Therefore, the text he sent to Gary Foreman clearly stated: Unfortunately, Mr. Foreman. I think it's time for me to leave. I will always remember this happy time we spent together~www.ltnovel.com~ We face difficulties and climb the peak together, but when I find that I will inevitably become a huge beast in front of Derek, I just Can choose to leave.

This is Derek's team. He is a native of Chicago, and I am just a Ranger. I am very grateful... you brought me here three years ago. I am also very grateful to all the Bulls fans for my love and admiration over the past three years. But now, it's time to talk about separation.

From this second, you can negotiate a deal. I believe that my departure can get you all the chips you want, and the Chicago Bulls will definitely become stronger under the leadership of Derrick Rose.

And I will return to the United Center Arena with a new identity, just hope that at that time, the boos will not be too loud. You know, I am a very emotional person.

If I can trade me to the West Coast, I can't stand the pain of playing against the Chicago Bulls four times in the regular season each season.

Finally, I wish you good luck.

From the Bulls No. 10 player, Doug!
