297: Early contract renewal, not optimistic Tony (4.5K votes)
Wayne, Schwartz, Patterson, and Allen sat in their offices, discussing the bright future.
Paul. Allen wasn't in Portland in the first place, after all, he didn't just have a team business, he was busy with a lot of things.
But hearing that Wayne intends to renew his contract early, Alan Sr. said that he had to come for anything.
Although he can't come, this renewal can be completed.
After all, Schwartz and Patterson have already agreed.
But when the boss comes and the boss doesn't, the feeling for the players is different.
"Congratulations, Way, you're about to become the first player in NBA history to use the Bat rights to complete a rookie contract extension."
Wayne smiled and nodded, it's a good thing that the salary has increased, but why can't he laugh......
There's no way, let's not talk about the NBA with imperfect rules in ancient times.
In modern times, it is true that no team has been able to dominate for many years.
Old rascal...... You all say he's a hooligan, what's the solution?
The NBA has so many rules and regulations in place to prevent this from happening.
But...... Iron also needs its own hardness.
Before Wayne came to renew his contract, he also made a phone call to Pao Luo and told him that he planned to renew his contract early.
lest the thing think too much.
As a result, the cannon on the other end of the phone giggled, saying something like "remember to buy me a watch when you renew your contract".
It's really MLGB, I'm serious, okay!
With Pao Luona's head melon running 5 times faster than Ji Tai, he should also know that follow-up dating will be a problem in a few years.
But now that I think about that, I might as well think about how to defend my title.
Therefore, Pao'er is still very optimistic. Anyway, you can still rub the watch!
"By the way, you called Carter the other day, what did he say?" Patterson changed the subject.
"You may not believe it when you say it, he said that he wants to win the championship on his own, and he doesn't really want to join a team that is already a championship.
Oh my God, no one can say no to the Trailblazers! That's turning down the champion! ”
After Wayne said this, he suddenly felt as if he had heard it somewhere.
That's right!
In Wayne's previous life, when Yao Ming rejected the Lakers, the Zen master was so surprised and said so.
No one can say no to a champion, really?
Well, it seems that there are indeed some people in this world who insist on what they think is right.
And, even putting aside the illusory argument of wind bones, Carter's joining the Trail Blazers is indeed very risky from the perspective of knife music.
Carter is already 30 years old, and the reason why he jumped out of his contract early and entered the free agent market is so that he can take the opportunity to sign another long-term contract when he is still in good shape.
When this new contract ends, four or five years later, Carter will be 34 or 35, and there will be no one willing to give him a big contract at that time.
As a result, this is pretty much the last big contract of Carter's career.
And the Trail Blazers can only sign Carter on a short-term contract, which is exactly the opposite of Carter's expectations.
From a practical point of view, Carter is also unlikely to join the Trail Blazers.
Even if he only signs a two-year contract with the Trail Blazers, two years later, Carter will be 32 years old, and it will be difficult to sign a big contract.
In the past two years, there are probably more than 30 million dollars.
Carter was amused by his brain, and he put more than 30 million knives to be Wayne's younger brother.
"Well, it looks like Vince will end up staying in New Jersey, sorry!" Patterson shook his head, then handed Wayne a contract.
"This is the contract we put together, according to the maximum salary of Wayne terms, based on this year's salary cap, the starting salary is 30%, and the first year is $15.94 million, a maximum increase of 8% per year. That counts......
About 94 million in five years! ”
Patterson swallowed his saliva.
The difference of 6 million is 100 million!
As soon as the rookie contract ended, he was able to sign a contract of about 100 million yuan, and the times have really changed!
Jordan in the 90s earned more than 90 million in his entire career, while Wayne earned more than 90 million in one contract.
It's a rising tide.
Wayne wasn't particularly surprised to hear the number.
After all, it came from the era when 100 million yuan contracts flew around.
Moreover, Nike's 300 million is indeed too solid.
Even Wayne's top salary, which triggered the Wayne clause, has the highest annual salary of more than 20 million in the year.
Nike contracts also have an average of 30 million a year.
94 million in 5 years, this is undoubtedly one of the largest rookie contract extensions in history since the introduction of the salary cap rule. If it can be signed for 6 years, Wayne's contract amount will exceed 100 million!
But in Wayne's view, that's not an exaggeration.
But really, this is already the maximum salary. Compared with Howard's 5-year 85 million, it is nearly 10 million smaller!
Wayne clause is really terrible!
Schwartz looked at Wayne and nodded. Because he was Okafor's agent at the same time, he knew how exaggerated the price was.
The Bobcats are also preparing to renew Okafor's contract recently, and the price is only 74 million for 6 years.
The contract length is one year longer than Wayne's, but the salary is a full 20 million less.
That's the difference between Wayne's clause extension and the average rookie extension.
Speaking of which, it is also embarrassing.
In college, Okafor was higher than Wayne in terms of popularity and commercial value.
In their rookie season, the two are still competing for the best rookie.
As a result, only a few years have passed?
Okafor couldn't even eat Wayne's exhaust.
This is professional basketball!
Aren't there enough examples of college geniuses getting lost after entering the NBA?
"If there are no problems, Wei, you can sign. The new contract will come into force next summer. After that, you will be the highest paid player! ”
Wayne smiled and nodded, signing his name on the contract, and the first player in NBA history to exercise bat rights was born.
Half an hour later, fans around the world saw the staggering rookie's contract extension.
Just after the rookie contract is executed, you can sign 94 million, and in a few years, if someone can trigger the Wayne clause, then the rookie contract renewal contract must not be hundreds of millions!
Wayne: Sit down, it's all routine from now on. As you will find out later, my contract is not exaggerated at all.
After completing the contract extension, Allen, who was going to pay Wayne nearly a small goal for the next five years, opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
I'm not afraid to spend this money, I'm afraid I can't spend it.
Wayne can stay with the team, at least for the next few years, he doesn't have to worry about the team's decline.
When Howard saw the news of Wayne's contract extension, he wanted to cry without tears.
It's all early contract renewals, it's all top salary, and Wei Ge has nearly 1,000 W's more than me......
What a wickedness!
Why did you agree to renew the contract at the beginning?
Howard is now caught between injustice and injustice.
Follow the promise to renew the contract, the money is less.
If you don't keep your promises, people will say that you are loyal and trustworthy.
It's so hard to be a person!
The point is that Howard is now stuck very uncomfortable if he doesn't meet the conditions of the Wayne clause.
If he has met the conditions, then the league has offered to help the Magic pay the extra salary after the contract has been negotiated before the terms come out.
It's just that the salary cap still has to be counted on the head of the Magic.
This is considered a buffer measure for the league to suddenly announce this clause, and the part of Durant's salary that was overpaid because of the Rose clause in the original history was borne by the league.
But Howard doesn't meet the conditions right now, and he has to play for another year before he can trigger the bat stake.
Then there's no way, and the balance beam master Boss Si can't help you.
Struggle for yourself.
On the evening after Wayne completed his contract extension, he and Patterson also discussed Tony. Allen's deal.
After all, Schwartz is also Tony's agent.
"The Celtics just don't let go, for the sake of Tony's status in the team, I can't directly tear his face, that's not good for Toney.
This matter, as long as Anji doesn't let go, there is really no way. Schwartz shook his head, Danny, the man can be said to be a stone in the toilet.
Stinky and unpleasant.
"But...... We also haven't extended our contract with the Celtics early for the time being! So, next summer, Toney will be a restricted free agent. If you're looking to continue teaming up with Tony, next summer is your chance. ”
With Schwartz stirring in the middle, are you afraid that you won't be able to get an Anji?
If you change it this year, the Celtics can still get some chips.
Sign directly next year, Anji won't fart!
The only question is whether Celtic will match the offer, after all, Tony will not be a complete free man next year even if his contract expires.
If Angie really wants to be disgusting, even if the Trail Blazers make an offer to Tony, he may be a match even if he doesn't need Tony.
Wayne believes that Angie can do this kind of thing.
But then again, a lot of people's contracts will expire next summer, and the Trail Blazers can free up some space at that time.
Well, then, I can only ask Alan to come up with a proposal that Angie can't match.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems in Pioneers.
"Look again, Danny. If Anji plays like this, sooner or later the car will overturn. ”
Wayne nodded, so it seems that the opportunity to continue to join forces with Tony is not impossible.
It's just that it may be a year later.
Tony, Tony, I haven't forgotten you.
After recovering from injury, you must hold on well!
At this time, far away in Indianapolis, the Simon brothers could not have imagined that they and Downey were killed. Walsh's contract extension actually went wrong.
"What? New York? When the Simon brothers learned that Walsh wanted to move to New York, they were a little surprised.
Walsh is an old hero of the Pacers after all, and after so many years, he has never said he wants to go.
Walsh really didn't want to leave at first, but he couldn't help it, the Knicks gave too much!
Think before Larry. Brown went to New York and it was a big deal, and you know how big New York is.
That's right, big spending.
The New Yorkers have never skimped on their game of swords, and that would satisfy Walsh's ambition to build a team with stars.
And one more thing — after the Wayne clause came out, Walsh felt that he couldn't make a name for himself in Indianapolis.
If one of those three beasts triggers the Wayne clause, with the Pacers' money investment, it will be difficult for this team to turn around.
And if none of them can trigger the Wayne clause, it proves that they can't carry the hope of reviving the team.
Both horizontally and vertically are dead.
So, Walsh simply chose the easiest path: "Don't play anymore!" ”
It just so happened that the Knicks used the money ability to throw an olive branch, so why not take the opportunity to yo-yo?
What kind of old ministers are not old ministers, they are all seeking life.
Well, these two owners, who never care about the team, overestimate the weight of so-called loyalty in the NBA.
"Are you sure you're leaving? Downey. ”
"I've been with the Pacers for 25 years, and I thought it was time for a change."
Walsh nodded, the Pacers had already won the championship two years ago, and he had no regrets.
And just like that, in this player transfer period, Donnie. Walsh also completed his transfer.
After the negotiations, the Simon brothers looked at each other.
They don't know how to basketball!
This Walsh is gone, who will manage the team?
Who is the most reliable to look for?
"Or else...... Shall we contact Larry? ”
"Right now, it's just him."
※※※
Looking at the Lakers and Trail Blazers who haven't signed any noteworthy players so far, Danny Brown. Angie was very happy.
After all, champion-level teams, everyone is cautious about trading with them.
If they continue to strengthen them, other teams are asking for their own hardships, so they will not agree easily.
There are no big names in the free agent market this year except for Carter.
Therefore, the road to reinforcement for the Trail Blazers and Lakers is not destined to be easy.
Even, it is possible to get nothing.
Angie didn't continue to bask in the short-lived victory, Garnett hadn't sat down yet, and his heart was always empty.
Although the trade is basically gone, he and McHale are also very happy.
But if it's difficult, it's hard to get it, and in KG, he has the right of veto on the deal.
Now, the Mavericks are frantically seducing hard people.
After all, the Mavericks were also No. 1 in the West last season, and it's impossible for you to say that it's hard not to think about it.
What Angie can do is continue to increase the attractiveness of the team.
So, follow Pierce and Ray. Aaron's meaning, Angie has recently been recruiting a commentator.
That's right, narrator.
He wanted to invite Reggie. Miller is back on the mountain!
Although Miller Sr. won the championship in '05, Angie felt that no one could refuse to take one more.
Moreover, playing in the NBA, even the base salary of a veteran is higher than that of a commentator.
Miller came over to play as a substitute, played a game for more than ten or twenty minutes, and easily got a salary and a championship, why not?
The point is that Miller is in good form and it is said that Ray. The last time Aaron met Miller in a game, he found out that the guy was really still playing.
If Miller could come, the Celtics would at least have a solid battery.
Everyone knows how important the battery is, and if Odom had a solid three-point shot and Ariza could shoot a three-pointer last season, would the Lakers lose?
Odang: After all this time, you still whip the corpse? I've been vomited by Kobe Bryant, and I know it's wrong!
Webb: I've been whipped for years.
But Angie only called to talk to Miller for a few words, and was rejected.
Miller didn't even want to meet with Angie: "Thank you for your kindness, but I just want to win a championship with the Pacers, and I already have it." ”
Miller said, pulling out the beautiful championship ring and looking at it, "Say it again...... I'm not going to betray Bird like you did, Danny. ”
Angie:!!!
Betrayal of Byrd?
Anji hung up the phone, thinking about it very carefully, it was difficult to ......
Sure enough, the next day, the Pacers officially announced.
Your big beep is back!
Bird will officially take over Walsh's role as president of the Pacers!
"I already have plans for the future, and I think we can make the playoffs instead of messing around!" At the press conference, Bird said.
In this way, after the grizzly bear of the western-stirring stick, the eastern-stirring stick was also born.
Granger in the third year, Roy and Ade in the second year, if Bird plays his cards well, it is not impossible to make the playoffs in the East.
Angie clenched his fists, obviously thinking that he could easily advance in the east, but Bird was here, and the trouble was there.
If the Celtics really meet the Pacers in the playoffs, they won't win, but it won't be easy to win.
Bird made the whole team fight and disgusted the Celtics.
No, just after taking office, Bird was disgusted with Angie.
If you want to say that Bird didn't ventilate Miller, Angie doesn't believe it.
Otherwise, Miller wouldn't have uttered the words "I won't betray Bird."
"Damn, it's all about bad things!"
But fortunately, that afternoon, the trade between the Celtics and the Timberwolves that shocked the whole league still happened.
The situation for next season is getting more complicated.
Wayne bit his lip as he watched the news of Garnett joining the Celtics.
That's fine.
In the future, Anji and Hard Special will be able to catch them all!
Next season, play Celtic.
Let them win, count me Gao Dewei as losing!
