    Yes!  In a previous life, Carlos Boozer's son suffered from sickle cell anemia in 2007. By that time, he had left the Cavaliers and went to play for the Utah Jazz.  .  .  Unexpectedly, with a gentle flap of my butterfly wings, the drama originally scheduled for 2007 would take place ahead of schedule.

    My brain didn¡¯t turn around in time, and I stayed there for 2 minutes.  Although 2 minutes is not a long time, it is definitely a long time for Carlos Boozer. He became a little anxious and shouted to me with a ferocious face:

    "Kwame! My salary is only 780,000 a year. After excluding daily expenses, I don't have much money left. In addition, I bought shares in the casino some time ago. Now I don't have any more money at all. Even I  I borrowed a large part of the money to buy the casino shares!¡±

    "Kwame! Lend me one million! I can use the casino shares as collateral! I will definitely pay it back to you after I get the big contract!"

    "Even if you ask me to sell you the shares in the casino!"

    ""

    Chauncey Billups saw that I was silent and thought I was a little reluctant. He quickly added: "Kwame, actually, Carlos didn't originally plan to borrow money from you. Originally, we planned to  It's almost enough to make up for it! But I didn't expect that this time I would have a conflict with Danny Fordson, and we would all be suspended, so we wouldn't have much money"

    The salary of NBA stars is indeed not low, but their tax burden is also quite high. People like Billups and Larry Hughes with an annual salary of four to five million can get 300 million.  Not bad.  NBA players spend so much money that they can hardly save much money in a year. This is why so many NBA stars declare bankruptcy within a few years after retiring.

    Carlos Boozer¡¯s face was full of expectations. He was looking forward to getting a positive answer from my mouth, an answer that could temporarily solve his current predicament.

    This is a definite answer, I will definitely give it, although I do not have the ability to help all the people in this world who need help.  But I still have the ability to help people around me get out of some difficult situations, especially when they are having trouble with money.

    I didn't say anything. I just reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out my file bag, took out my checkbook from the file bag, tore out a check, filled in the amount, and signed my name.  I stamped it with my seal and handed it to Carlos Boozer.  Said: "2 million! That's enough!"

    Carlos Boozer's eyes were filled with moisture, and he seemed to be holding back the tears from rolling down his eyes. He reached out and took the check, and said vaguely in excitement: "That's enough!  enough!"

    Chauncey Billups, Larry Hughes, and Brandon Haywood showed joyful smiles on their faces. They were happy that things ended successfully, especially Larry Hughes.  Open your mouth and say:

    "I'm just telling you! If you have money issues, you have to go to Kwame. 1 million is as big as a mountain to us, but to Kwame, it's just a hair on his head! See, Carlos needs 1 million  , and Kwame directly gave away 2 million, this is strength. This is the gap"

    Chauncey Billups stretched out his left hand and touched his bare head, and said with an embarrassed look: "Are you still afraid that Kwame won't lend money to Carlos?"

    "Do you think Kwame is like Grandet like you? We agreed that I would lend Carlos 500,000 and you would lend Carlos 500,000, but you promised well. But now, you actually say that you don't have that much money.  ? Your salary is five to six million a year, and you actually say you have no money. Who would believe you?" Larry Hughes countered.

    "I really have no money. I bought a house in St. Bede some time ago, which cost me nearly 6 million U.S. dollars. I don't have any cash on hand! Now I still have a loan of nearly 1 million U.S. dollars in the bank.  ?¡± Chauncey Billups said aggrievedly: ¡°I originally wanted to save a few weeks¡¯ salary and scrape it together, maybe 500,000, but I didn¡¯t expect this to happen, and my salary was stopped directly.  . . ¡±

    Seeing Chauncey Billups' aggrieved look, I also felt a little sorry in my heart. After all, they were punished because of me, and they beat up Danny Fortson because they wanted to stand up for me.  Now that I, the boss who pays their salaries, can no longer pay them, I feel really sad.

    "Hey!" I frowned and sighed, and said slowly: "It would be great if I could pay you a salary. I don't lack the money, but it's really easy for that bastard David Si  Tern has caught the clue! If he catches us, we will have to shed our skins even if we don't die!"

    "Damn Stern!" Brandon Haywood said through gritted teeth.

    A room in the wardThere was silence. The five of us were all immersed in our anger towards David Stern and didn't speak for a full minute.

    Larry Hughes raised his head, broke the brief silence in the room and said: "Kwame! What will we do next? I mean, what do we need to do during the suspension period? We can't do it either.  When you are competing, just wander around outside all day long!"

    Maybe Larry Hughes didn¡¯t mean anything else, but my heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble!  Larry Hughes and the others stayed here for two or three months. During these two or three months, they were free to move around and do whatever they wanted. There was no one to restrain them at all!  And these few months without restraint can easily cause problems, just like when Vin Baker drank when he had nothing to do, and Sean Camp took drugs when he had nothing to do, which directly ruined his career!

    We can¡¯t leave them idle, we need to find something for them to do.  .  .

    My brain is running at high speed, hoping to find something suitable that can constrain their activities and at the same time be meaningful to the Wizards.

    Organize them to participate in community activities?

    There are only a few communities and orphanages in Washington, and you can¡¯t stay in those communities or orphanages every day!  In that case, NBA stars are too worthless!

    Organize them to play amateur leagues?

    These five people can form a team, but they don't even have a substitute, and they are used to the NBA level and they really don't necessarily want to watch those amateur leagues.

    Organize them to hold fan meetings across the United States?

    This was the time when they were being shouted at and beaten.  Going out to organize a fan meeting isn't it like looking for a rotten egg to slap you in the face?

    Thinking, thinking, my brain suddenly flashed with inspiration, and I remembered the movie called "The Descendants of Jordan" that I saw in my previous life.  Why don't I write this script and let these guys tinker with it during the suspension, so that the Wizards can be promoted positively.

    After thinking about everything, I looked up and said to Larry Hughes with a smile: "During the suspension, how about you guys go make a movie?"

    "Movie?" the four people asked in surprise!

    "Yes! It's a movie!" I replied with a confident smile: "I'm going to write a script, a script that can promote our team. You four will be the main actors in it. I will work with Spike Lee in New York.  Let's discuss and let him direct this movie. I will make this movie the best sports movie of the year. I will make this movie" I was looking forward to it.

    But my longing was interrupted by Chauncey Billups: "Kwame! You're not dreaming! We only have less than two months, and you haven't even written the script yet, or the actors or anything."  I didn¡¯t make a good choice. Isn¡¯t it a bit too idealistic? Besides, we haven¡¯t acted in any movies or anything"

    "Yeah! How can we act now that we don't even have a script? Besides, none of us have acted in any movies. Don't mess up your investment" Larry Hughes also said timidly.

    "Ha" I laughed and said very confidently: "I have been thinking about this script for a long time. I am very sure that it will be a very good work. Once this movie is released, I believe that the Washington Wizards  The popularity in the United States and even the world will be on the next level! Of course"

    I paused, looked playfully at Chauncey Billups and Larry Hughes, who were still biting each other just now, and said playfully: "Of course I will also pay you enough.  I guarantee he won¡¯t lose a penny less than what you lost due to the suspension"

    "What did you say" Brandon Haywood looked at me with wide eyes and excitedly, and asked very uncertainly: "You said that the losses we 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 clearly didn't believe it. They asked in unison: "Is it true?"

    "Really!" I stated my position solemnly once again and explained: "This incident has been publicized by David Stern. The reputation of our Wizards team will be ruined this time. If we don't  If we take some measures, it will bring us immeasurable losses, we must do something!"

    I paused and glanced at the other four people in the room. Seeing that they were all listening solemnly, I continued: "We must make positive publicity for our fight, and the best effect is  There¡¯s no better publicity than a film with a profound impact.¡±

    "Is it a basketball movie?" Carlos Boozer seemed a little nervousZhang, he stretched out his tongue, licked his dry lips, and asked in a low voice.

    I nodded and said seriously: "The story starts from the fight between us and the Mavericks. The four of you were suspended, and the whole people shouted for beating" (To be continued)
