The day after the draft, in Min Congda's apartment.
Waking up from his sleep, Min Congda felt a warm feeling in his lower body.
He thought in confusion: "Damn it, did I wet the bed?"
When his mind became clearer, Min Congda realized that it was Daddario who was responsible.
The beauty star's morning wake-up call service made Min Congda feel very useful.
"Slow down...it's so early in the morning...you haven't had breakfast!"
Min Congda didn't have breakfast and was a little hungry.
And Daddario just had a meal of honey sago.
It was such a stimulation as soon as he opened his eyes that Min Congda couldn't bear it.
In the United States, the welfare of the working class is indeed a bit too good.
The two had breakfast together, and Daddario said that he was leaving Los Angeles and returning to New York today.
As an actor, the work of filming cannot stop. Daddario is still very concerned about his acting career.
However, according to Min Chongda's observation, Daddario's talent as an actor is actually limited, and many films cast her because of her good looks and perfect figure.
Hollywood is a place where unwritten rules are everywhere, and female stars have to pay a lot to get to the top.
The United States is a country of freedom, the source of all evil, and the bad things in the entertainment industry are unique in the world.
Min Congda has been in Los Angeles for almost a year and has seen a lot of gossip.
He thought to himself, if one day NBA-Batman doesn't have enough traffic, it would be good to post some Hollywood flair.
Because of his family background, Daddario's parents are both upper class and can stay away from these hidden rules and bad things.
The advantage is that this girl retains a purity that is rare in the entertainment industry, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for her career to develop significantly.
After all, many great achievements are the result of force. The result of a good family background is to muddle along without being able to force yourself.
"Curry and George are both from pretty good families. They don't have to force themselves to play hard, so they shouldn't have any particularly high achievements? That's not right. Corvo's family is pretty good, isn't he and a psychopath? Play as hard as you can? Forget it, you have to choose, you have to believe in your own vision."
Min Congda was still satisfied with yesterday's draft.
Although Curry failed last year, Min Congda, who is good at self-comfort, feels that he can accept it.
As long as Curry is an ordinary star, the Clippers will be struggling on the edge of the playoffs every year.
This has the advantage that firstly, the team's market value will not soar too high, and secondly, the lineup is good, and you can spend big contracts.
Spending too much money on big contracts will increase the team's salary space, and it will be able to pay the luxury tax in the future.
Luxury tax is a big expense that Min Congda has always been thinking about.
Because the money you spend must be reasonable, otherwise if you offer Ruffin a maximum salary contract, let alone the system disagrees, the league will intervene and investigate.
At noon, Min Congda went to the airport with Dadario to watch her get on the plane and leave Los Angeles.
Feeling reluctant to let go, the relationship between the two gradually deepened. This girl was indeed beautiful, sweet and rich.
I feel free again, and I am back to my single days when the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is wide and fish can jump.
"Would you like to ask Balang to go on an adventure tonight? Hey, forget it, let's go to the headquarters. There's still a lot of work to do."
Min Congda thought about being able to play music every night after being free, but he felt bored in his heart.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the headquarters in the afternoon. In the morning, Piombetti sent a message saying that there were draft and transaction matters to be dealt with.
Arriving at the general manager's office, Piombetti reported yesterday's draft situation.
The Clippers selected Damai James from the University of Texas with the 19th overall pick.
Piombetti said: "We originally wanted to select Bledsoe from Kentucky, but the Thunder took Bledsoe with the 18th pick, so we could only take James."
Min Congda thought to himself, if there is no LeBron James, you can just get Damai James to fool me, right?
Min Congda took a look at Damai James' information. The small forward with a score of 203 met Min Congda's draft standards and was very good.
Piombetti added: "We got a call from the Thunder this morning, saying they wanted to trade Bledsoe with us."
Min Congda asked: "What price are they asking for?"
Piombetti said: "The price they are asking for is a first-round pick in 2012."
In 2012, the Thunder were thinking about what happened in 2012.
Min Congda thought for a moment, should the Clippers go bankrupt in 2012?
There is no use keeping this pick. The trade will get Bledsoe to fill the team's salary space.
And on the back line, the Clippers really need a backup small guard to take some of Curry's time away.
Curry is playing more and more minutes and playing better and better. He should find someone to mix things up with him.
Just in case, Min Congda took a look at Bledsoe's profile.
He is 185cm tall and has a wingspan of 19cm. He has excellent physical fitness, strong breakthrough ability and strong three-point ability.
Moreover, he graduated from the prestigious Kentucky University. This year, the University of Kentucky had a bumper harvest. All five starting players were selected in the first round.
Bledsoe's performance in high school, college, and the NCAA was very impressive, which made Min Congda hesitate.
This kid feels very strong. Selecting him is not a good thing for the team.
So, Min Chongda said to Piombetti: "We already have three starting guards, there is no need for another one. And I still want to keep the 2012 draft pick."
Piombetti nodded and continued: "Then we will reject the Thunder's trade application. Then with the 51st pick, we took Jeremy Lin from Harvard University."
"Harvard University, holy shit, there are people from Harvard University who play basketball and enter the NBA... Oh, no, Jeremy Lin? Who is this? Is he a Chinese player?"
Min Congda saw Jeremy Lin's information and found that it turned out to be a Chinese face!
What is the situation, why did Piombetti choose a Chinese player?
Piombetti explained: "He is not Chinese, he is Chinese-American. The reason why we chose him is because the two players we planned to win were picked up in front of us, so we had to activate the No. 3 alternative and take the Jeremy Lin got off."
Min Congda repeatedly looked at the information about Jeremy Lin and searched his mind for memories from before the time travel. He really couldn't remember such a No. 1 figure in the NBA.
He shouldn't be a particularly great star, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected in the 50th round in the second round.
"Why choose him?"
"Because of you, Mr. Smart."
"because I?"
"Don't you want to launch an Asian basketball talent development plan and explore the Chinese market? I think winning Jeremy Lin will be beneficial to your plan."
Min Congda thought to himself, you are such a good Piombetti, you are very considerate of me.
Keeping up with the team's new policies and working around the leadership's development guidelines, you are really a good subordinate.
Min Congda thought for a moment, and since he is a Chinese-American, he actually has nothing to do with the Chinese.
Moreover, his ancestral home is not in the mainland, but in Wanwan, so his influence is even smaller.
Just keep it. If there is a yellow face in the team, Min Congda is showing favoritism.
Look at those Indian guys. After they become senior executives in a company, they immediately let Indians occupy various positions.
As for the Chinese, we still need to unite.
After confirming these two draft picks, the signing ceremony can be held tomorrow.
But an hour later, Thunder general manager Presti called Min Congda.
"Hey Smart, are you really not interested in Bledsoe? We can talk."
