@Bill Simmons : 我认为达拉斯独行侠队关于卢卡·东契奇的交易从一开始就是个错误,这简直是一场灾难。湖人队和独行侠队的比赛已经成为NBA最令人期待的比赛之一,勒布朗·詹姆斯在比赛中不断地重新塑造自己,这让我印象深刻。他找到了与卢卡·东契奇共存的方式,并且在场上发挥着多重作用。我认为湖人队是一支真正的竞争者,并且有潜力夺冠。 @Sheil Kapadia : 费城人队现在更关注老鹰队的超级碗胜利,而不是76人队的糟糕表现。老鹰队的超级碗胜利对球迷来说非常令人满意,尤其对贾伦·赫兹来说更是如此。老鹰队的夺冠窗口期可能持续4到5年,成功的关键在于他们过去几年的选秀和一些精明的签约。我不认为老鹰队会交易核心球员,但如果迈尔斯·加勒特被交易,他们可能会考虑收购他。牛仔队不太可能交易米卡·帕森斯,因为他们已经为其他球员支付了巨额薪水。老鹰队是超级碗夺冠热门,我认为酋长队和乌鸦队被高估了。德州人队、维京人队和包装工队是潜在的夺冠黑马,公羊队上赛季表现出色,有潜力再次冲击超级碗。马修·斯塔福德被交易的可能性很大,他寻求一份年薪5000万美元的合同。公羊队可能不会交易他,因为他们仍然认为他可以带领球队取得成功。海盗队可能是潜在的买家,但巨人队不太可能交易得到他。泰坦队应该选择卡姆·沃德作为状元签,如果他们不选择他,他们应该将他交易给其他需要四分卫的球队。布朗队也需要一个四分卫,但他们可能不会选择沃德。巨人队、喷气机队和海盗队也需要四分卫。海鹰队可能会交易吉诺·史密斯,但我不认为他们会这样做。维京人队可能会选择贾里尔·麦卡锡。 @Dave Bernad : 我从邮递员做起,一步步成为制片人。制作电视节目需要解决各种问题,从签订合同到选角、选址、处理网络和营销等。制作《白莲花》的过程非常独特,HBO对迈克·怀特给予了充分的信任,这使得该剧能够成功。该剧的成功源于一系列巧合事件,这些事件很难复制。该剧的选角过程非常迅速,我们主要选择了自己认识的人。该剧的成功也离不开HBO的信任和对创作过程的尊重。 supporting_evidences Bill Simmons: 'Watching LeBron reinvent himself on the fly' Sheil Kapadia: 'I'm still kicking myself for not picking them.' Sheil Kapadia: 'I think it's the biggest story in the NFL right now.' Sheil Kapadia: 'I think the thing with, I think the reason why they wouldn't is because teams are, kind of overconfident in their ability to evaluate quarterbacks.' Dave Bernad: 'I was 14, grew up in Washington, D.C., walking through a mall, come across a movie set' Dave Bernad: 'Mike literally didn't know what it was, but he had been thinking about these three different shows over the last 15 years.'
