"I've got bad news, Franco." Alex said. "What?" I asked. "The Elasto Painters dropped your contract." He said, making me furious. "What?! Why?" I asked. "They think that you can not go back to the game as your rookie self." He said, making me feel angry. "That's ridiculous." I said. "So what are we gonna do now?" I asked. "You can sign with other teams in the PBA, go overseas to the CBA, or declare yourself eligible for the 2024 NBA Draft." He said, making me think for a bit. But I want to do what I wanted to do since day one, to play in the NBA. "I want to dream big before trying out other options, I declare that I'm eligible for the draft." I said. He quickly screams, saying "Oh my, oh my! Everyone's gotta know this!" He quickly grabbed his phone and told everyone that I'm eligible for the next draft. I think it's funny how he behaved and I said, "Man, you're crazy" with a smile on my face. "This IS the time to be crazy! You made a big decision, dude, are you crazy?" He fires back a question to me. I just replied with a laugh.
