Chapter 248: New Contract
After the finals, the off-season officially began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In previous years, the offseason was the busiest time for each team's general manager, because the offseason was the best opportunity for each team to make reinforcements.
In addition to trading with other teams and signing free agents, it is also particularly important to renew players whose contracts have expired.
As long as the door to free agents is opened, I believe that those players who have recovered their "free bodies" will keep calling~~
In this year's free market, only Eiji Sawakita can be called a big fish, and Kenji Fujima, but considering his relationship with the team, it is almost impossible for him to leave the team. So some good role players are also quite sought-after, and if their parent team doesn't come up with contracts in advance, it's very likely that the chicken will fly the egg.
In this regard, the best one is the Aomori Green Python.
They were the first to sign a contract extension with the team: center Nagami Uchiyama and defender Kawakami Abe.
Although the Green Python team was swept out of the playoffs by the eventual defending champion Rover in the first round of last season's playoffs, the team still believes that the players they have cultivated can impact better results, which may also be the helplessness of the small ball city team.
Although there are other teams that have given Uchiyama a higher offer than the Green Python, this center with pigtails is still very loyal and resolutely chose to stay on a 4-year contract of 15.5 million. And his teammate, defensive titan Abe Kawagami, is staying in Aomori with a 3-year, 6.8 million contract.
With the two retained, Aomori can also make the playoffs next season.
Perhaps Aomori Green Python has set its sights on next season, the team's small forward Matsunaga 300 5-year contract of up to 29.5 million has finally expired, I believe that Aomori should not give Matsunaga such a big contract at that time, so the Green Python team will have enough salary space to chase other big-name players.
Therefore, giving a contract with a maximum salary requires a certain vision, and if you don't do it, it will be like the Green Python team, which will be difficult to turn over for many years.
Soon after, the Antlers announced the renewal of the team's two starters outside of Trident: center Kubo Fuji and ball control Jiyasu Akiyama.
Although in the previous finals, the Antlers unfortunately lost the championship, but the strength of the team is still undoubted, and the combination contract of the Trident has not expired, in this context, although the ability of the two is limited, but as long as they can assist the Trident well, the team is still very welcome to return.
If there are big fish in addition to Zebei in this offseason, it is only the defender of the Radiant team, who was also selected for the national team last season.
The Radiance team originally wanted to renew his contract early, but Kuroki's agency team still wanted to test the free market. After all, Kuroki's progress in recent years has also been quite obvious, and at the age of 28, when he is upright, which team can sign him is a very rapid improvement in his immediate combat power.
Testing the free agent market can also be seen as a kind of pressure on the home team, so if the Radiant team is really reluctant to Kuroki, they will have to come up with a higher contract.
However, Kuroki didn't have to be long, and a week later, Kuroki renewed a 4-year contract with the Radiant Team for 18.5 million, so Kuroki also became the team's highest salary.
The team also used Kurogi as a cornerstone to build the team.
Team Koei not only brought back Kuroki, but also brought center forward Kokuto Shirai back to the team with a two-year contract of 5.8 million.
Although Shirai's offensive skills are a little monotonous, as a frame protector, he is still relatively trustworthy.
Not only the players who have been in the league for many years, but some rookie players, after ending their first contract, have also begun to figure out a way for their future.
Some of these rookie players have relied on their performance in the past few years to reflect their value, and their value has skyrocketed, while some players have quietly disappeared into the sea of people.
The Ogura Samurai team's power forward Shimizu Nagahiro and the Sapporo Dragons striker Oda Hayashiko belong to the former.
Their respective parent teams are even more fond of the players they have cultivated, and they have completed the contract renewal a year in advance, but according to the JBA regulations, those renewals are only verbal agreements and do not take effect, but as long as there are no accidents, you and I are willing. It's just a matter of time.
7.2 million for 3 years, and 10.5 million for 4 years, Shimizu Nagahiro and Oda Hayashiko respectively got the second contracts of their careers.
The signing of this contract means that the two are officially based in the alliance.
The rest of the free agents to watch out for are the Hokkaido Lavender's leading defender, Sekiya Kohoku.
Guan Gu's brokerage team also started negotiations with Lavender's top management like a bubble drama.
There is only one point of disagreement between the two sides - whether Guan Gu is worthy of the top salary.
The Sekiya team wanted a four-year, 22.4 million maximum salary contract, but Lavender only offered a three-year 12.6 million contract.
Because of last season's Black Eight Miracle, the Guan Gu team dared to ask the team's top management for a maximum salary, but last season's continuous injuries made Guan Gu's state much worse than before, coupled with some off-the-field lace news, it was really difficult for Lavender to buy.
In such a situation, Guan Gu also tried to wait and see the offers of other teams, but throughout the league, only the deep-pocketed Great White Shark gave a 3-year contract of 15.6 million.
Although Sekiya's team is still a little dissatisfied with the offer of the Great White Shark, considering the background of Tokyo, the big ball market must be better than a remote place like Hokkaido.
But just when the Sekiya team immediately agreed to the Great White Shark, the Lavender team couldn't sit still, and they also raised the contract to 15.6 million for 3 years.
Although there are many problems in Guan Gu, it would be a pity if such a starter was lost just because of 3 million.
After seeing this, the Sekiya team also weighed the pros and cons, and finally rejected the offer of Tokyo Jaws, but did not accept Lavender's offer, but re-signed a 1-year 5.8 million contract with Lavender.
Such a contract seems to the outside world to be just a delaying tactic, and if it is not good, this time next year, there will be another bubble drama for a longer time.
And Guan Gu's release of pigeons also made the great white shark's hatred list in addition to Rukawa Kaede, there is one more person.
In fact, Jaws sometimes should think about why it still can't attract big-name stars with such a background and environment as the capital.
One statistic may tell the answer: Jaws hasn't had a player play for the team for three seasons in a row in the past five years.
In other words, here, the players can't find a sense of belonging, even if the big city, no matter how good the stadium, no team feeling, it still can't impress the athletes themselves as a "person".
As the Fukuyama Flying Wave with the most expiring contracts this offseason, all four of their starting lineup have expired their contracts except for Mu Dugongyan.
This situation is the most worrying for the team's top management, once something happens, the Flying Waves team will directly lose the entire starting lineup. (To be continued.) )
