On the issue of money, there are other people who are known to deliver great speech. Those are Donald Trump, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.  Their fame, personality appeal has enabled them to pull in more than $250,000 per speech, and propelled them to the top of the list of the most expensive speeches.  Donald Trump delivered speech that earned fees on top with the staggering $1.5 million for each when he delivered at the company’s real estate wealth expos in 2006 and 2007.  

Even though Donald Trump got highest fee payment for speech, the former US president Bill Clinton is on the top of list when it comes to raking in the dough at the lectern.  Companies or organizations wish to pay much money to greatest speakers who can deliver massage that can change the mood of environment.

The Chicago BULLS!

April 17, 2008

The Chicago Bulls had a very dismal season this year. Many of the fans, including myself, had to go through a season where it seemed like nothing could go right. Last year, the Bulls sat in the no. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference. This year, they came in a terrible ninth. However, looking in hindsight, this could be a genius strategic move on the part of the Chicago Bulls.

For years, analysts have talked about two things that could help the Bulls. One was that they needed a dominant center that could take some pressure off of players like Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and Luol Deng. The second thing that could happen is that Chicago somehow trades and picks up a player with superstar status.

With the ninth worst record in the league this year, and the lottery coming up, Chicago has a 17% chance to get the number 1, 2, or 3 spot in it. This is a good thing because with the weighted system in place, the teams with the three worst records have rarely got the number 1, 2, or 3 spot in the draft since the system was in place.  Chicago can do a couple of things if they get one of those treasured picks. They can pick Brook Lopez if they get the three pick and secure a dominant center, finally. If they get the 1 or 2 pick, they can trade that pick with a couple of their players to another team for a superstar.

In any event, I believe that Chicago has put themselves into a very favorable position even in the midst of a terrible regular season.
