According to the new rules after the labor negotiations and Su Feng's requirements, the Raptors uniform team quickly reached a verbal agreement with Duffy with a total value of about 54 million for five years, a starting salary of 9 million, a player option for the final year, and a trade veto right in the contract.

Because Su Feng has no relationship with the Raptors, according to the verbal agreement reached by the two parties, the Raptors intend to officially complete the contract extension with Su Feng on July 1, after the free agent market opens.

It's just that just when the team's general manager Gruward and owner Chad were about to open champagne to celebrate their success in keeping Su Feng......

Next door, the battered Grizzlies boss Griffith quit.

This year, with the Raptors winning the championship, Vancouver fans have long since taken on the shape of the Raptors.

Look at the Grizzlies' sluggish ball market, and then look at the attention of the Raptors' explosion......

Do you say Griffith can not be in a hurry?

Back then, when the Raptors and Grizzlies joined the NBA together, everyone was a difficult brother, but now ......

Thinking about the future of the Raptors after renewing their contract with Su Feng, the expectations are full......

Griffith admits that he was sour.

On the 22nd, at the league's owners' season summary meeting, looking at Chad, who took advantage of the break in the meeting to learn from the old Bass for the championship parade, Griffith said at the meeting:

"I can't imagine that an MVP player like Sue will earn a measly $9 million in the next year!"

According to the regulations after the labor negotiations, because the starting salary of the player's contract is related to the number of years he has played in the NBA and the salary space of the team, after ending the rookie contract, Su Feng can get a starting salary of $9 million.

And then, because Su Feng does not have the right to bird, he naturally cannot enjoy the highest salary increase in contract renewal with the parent team like Kobe Bryant and Iverson.

In Su Feng's original time and space, in order to obtain the bird rights in the Warriors in the future, Durant and the Warriors adopted the game of signing a short-term contract first, and then signing a big contract.

You know, in the NBA, there is also a gap between the top salary and the top salary.

The reason for this gap is that in the 98/99 season, the league added these details to protect small and medium-sized teams.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, after labor negotiations, NBA players generally have to wait until their third big contract or play a certain number of years in the NBA if they want to get the theoretical absolute maximum salary.

Obviously, these rules and regulations also laid the fuse for the subsequent shutdown.

Because as Griffith said, although Su Feng is only 21 years old, as the MVP, he can only get $9 million in the next year.

Some All-Star players who haven't even touched the floor of the semifinals will benefit from the NBA before the collective bargaining and can get nearly $17 million in wages next season.......

Do you think it's fair?

Therefore, as a "righteous person", Griffith believes that he must stand up and make a wave of grievances for Su Feng.

"I also think it's incredible that an MVP like Sue can only get $9 million."

On the side, old Bass, who knew what Griffith wanted to do, immediately echoed after listening to Griffith's words.

As a natural opponent of the players, it seems that Griffith and Old Bass want to give Su Feng a salary increase, but in fact, these elites have other plans in their hearts.

And after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, as one of the participants in this meeting, Stern also found a very serious problem.

That is, if the Raptors can really sign Su Feng with this cost-effective contract with the highest salary, then he will have a headache if he wants to dismantle the Raptors in the future.

Because don't look at Su Feng's future only more than Kobe, Iverson and others will only get more than $1 million less per year, but for the NBA in this era, more than $1 million in salary space is enough for the Raptors to sign a high-quality veteran in the free agent market to supplement the team's immediate combat power.

Therefore, the Raptors are the Raptors......

For Stern, who doesn't want the NBA to have a monopoly for too long, the thunder that should be buried for this Raptors still has to be buried.

In addition, in Stern's view, if a supernova like Su Feng can't match his value with the first salary contract, it will easily make future young people lose the motivation to fight.

So, after an afternoon of discussion, Stern and the bosses decided to take the opportunity of Su Feng's contract renewal to increase some motivation for young people in the future.

And Raptors boss Chad, when he noticed that so many people were paying attention to the renewal of the Raptors and Su Feng, he couldn't help but have a sense of crisis.

As soon as he returned to Toronto, Chad approached Gruward for a discussion and informed Gruward of the meeting.

After hearing the news, Gruward had to smile bitterly: "It seems that we have to negotiate a new contract with Sulai." ”

"That's the same idea for me, whatever he wants, we'll give it." Chad nodded.

Although he is usually very picky, Chad knows very well that the more other teams are looking forward to the Raptors' death now, the more he has to keep Su Feng.

……

"Huh?" Su Feng Clause'? ”

On the 23rd, when he learned from Bill Duffy that the league was about to launch the "Su Feng Clause", Su Feng, who was practicing throwing with Fraser, almost didn't have a mouthful of Gatorade sprayed on Fraser's face.

"Yes, if we follow the new rules, we will be able to get 30 percent of the starting salary." On the phone, Duffy laughed.

I'm going to drop a Westbrook......

In this life, Su Feng never expected that because of his relationship, the "Ross Clause" would be born in the 90s.

"And what does Raptors management mean?" Su Feng asked curiously.

"What they mean is that after the new rules come out, they will renew your contract and give you the treatment that an MVP player deserves." Duffy said.

Su Feng nodded, I have to say that the Raptors are indeed full of sincerity in this contract renewal negotiation with him.

It's just that......

Unlike the starting salary, which occupies 25% of the team's salary space, 30% ......

Hiss ————!

After taking a sharp breath, Su Feng quickly felt how difficult it is for a team to create a dynasty in the NBA.

Because without even waiting for the future, Stern has already begun to bury mines for this Raptors.

It seems that the "Su Feng clause" is raising his salary, but in fact, Su Feng knows very well that this is compressing the Raptors' future salary space by increasing his salary.

Brilliant!

It's so clever!

is different from the "joke" who only knows how to play tricks behind his back, Stern, who has always only played Yang Mou in terms of team dismantling, and even Su Feng has to be convinced when it comes to leveling a bowl of water.

Because since this clause is named after himself, it is impossible for Su Feng to refuse a salary increase, right?

Wake up, for Su Feng, who has now changed his life ideal to become the first person in basketball, go to the pinnacle of his life, and marry Bai Fumei, he will not do that kind of stupid thing that damages his reputation.

Moreover, Su Feng has no reason to help the Raptors save money.

In addition, Stern may not believe it, and in the future, Su Feng will even go by himself without him dismantling it.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Su Feng said to Duffy: "Then I still have to add a condition to this contract renewal." ”

And on the phone, when he heard that Su Feng was going to put forward conditions, Duffy felt that it was Su Feng who was talking to him like this, because if it was someone else, Duffy would definitely kick it directly.

"It's Steve's contract year too, right?

So, I want to add that the Raptors must complete a contract extension with Steve after the free agent market opens, otherwise I won't play no matter how much money I give. Su Feng said.

"Huh?" On the phone, Duffy was shocked.

Nash doesn't fight, and you don't fight either?

Wait a minute......

Duffy, who is also Nash's agent, always feels that he has been cheated by Su Feng.

Because if he just ran to make a request to the Raptors, then you think about how the world would think of him Duffy.

Although Su Feng's move is tantamount to indirectly helping Nash and himself, it is inevitable that people will think that Duffy is a vampire agent who is taking the opportunity to blackmail the Raptors.

However......

In the face of Su Feng's resolute attitude, the honest man Duffy was destined to be the only one to take the blame for Su Feng this time.

Sure enough, when Duffy passed Su Feng's original words to the Raptors uniform team, Gruward hated the "insatiable" Bill Duffy in his heart.

However, in the face of this Su Feng's agent, even if Gruward was angry in his heart, he had to greet him with a smile.

In fact, the reason why Su Feng asked Duffy to make such a request was because he was worried that because of the emergence of the "Su Feng clause", the Raptors would squeeze Nash in the next contract renewal with Nash, which would cause Nash to be dissatisfied and leave the team directly.

You must know that as the helmsman of the Toronto Black Pearl, Su Feng's organizational talent now depends entirely on Nash...... Ahh

Therefore, although there are other point guards on the market to choose from, if Su Feng has to choose, at least in his Toronto career, the man he wants to take the helm for him......

It's Nash.

And it was obvious that Su Feng's worries were right.

Because even if the Raptors soar this season, Chad's goal-picking attributes are unlikely to change.

In competitive sports, there are always fans who question the owners of some teams.

That is, the team can win the championship by spending a little more, but why are these owners unwilling to spend money?

In the world of sports, there are no more bosses like Chad in the minority.

In Su Feng's previous life, when he was a fan, he couldn't understand why the Manchester United owner let go of Ronaldo, why AC Milan let go of Kaka, and even couldn't understand why Alexander was unwilling to invest more in Yao Mai.

But in this life, after thinking from the perspective of a capitalist, these problems were quickly solved.

Because for the capitalists, if they can succeed with the least amount of money, then why not?

From the perspective of making money, spending less is equal to making money.

Therefore, when he and Gruward decided to offer Su Feng a new contract, Chad also gave Gruward a dead order to save money in other areas.

With Maddy still one year left on his rookie contract, in Chad's view, it is not impossible for the team to pay some luxury tax appropriately, but if the salary cap is too much, it will be difficult for him to earn back even if he wins the championship.

Before the NBA's new TV deal was negotiated, in fact, there were only one or two teams in the NBA that could make money.

So, at Chad's behest, Gruward did intend to offer Nash a contract that was slightly lower than the market was in.

But......

Now forced by the obscenity of Duffy's "bringing Su Feng to order the uniform group", he Gruward, even if he has ten heads, does not dare to suppress Nash's price anymore.

"Sue, I heard what Bill said, I didn't expect you to help me like this."

And Toronto, when he learned that he had received Su Feng's favor again, at this moment, that is, Nash was not a woman, otherwise he would have to make a promise.

According to the Raptors' initial agreement with Nash, Nash will sign a five-year contract with the Raptors worth about $33 million.

This contract is slightly larger than the contract that Su Feng signed in his previous life, Nash signed in the Mavericks, because Nash in this life has a championship bonus.

In addition, like Su Feng, Nash also chose the player option in the final year of his contract.

Because although Nash, who is Canadian, likes to play in Toronto, he also sees the "future" of the Raptors from this negotiation.

Nash knows very well that after the contracts of himself, Big Ben and Su Feng expire, it will be difficult for this Raptors to form such a strong team again.

Therefore, he does not want to leave his fate to this petty team at that time.

After securing the contract renewal of Su Feng and Nash, Joe Smith also came to say goodbye to his teammates one by one before the team's championship parade began, as Su Feng expected.

At present, there are not a few teams that are willing to provide Joe Smith with a big contract, and in this life, without the constraints of the yin and yang contract, not only Joe Smith's future is brighter, but also the future of the Timberwolves will be more promising after less punishment from the league.

In a trance, Su Feng, who had already shocked history to the ground, was preparing to participate in the team's championship parade, and on the other hand, he began to look at the list of the 1999 draft and fell into deep thought.

In the '99 draft, there were two famous international players.

One is Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK47".

And the other is Ginobili, nicknamed "The Pampas Vulture".

In Su Feng's previous life, these two would be selected by the Jazz and Spurs at the 24th place in the first round and the end of the second round respectively.

Judging from the two draft picks the Raptors have this year, if they want to select Kirilenko, the Raptors will have to trade up.

Because the Raptors had a strong performance in the '98/99 season, they were relatively low on both draft picks this year.

However, Su Feng didn't plan to bother with these two great gods this time.

Because both Kirilenko and Ginobili have a fatal problem, and that is that they have contracts with their old European clubs.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, Kirilyenko will have to wait until 2001 to land in the NBA, and Ginobili will be even later, and this will have to wait until 2002 to land in the NBA.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the 99 draft, the draft order of these two was not high, which was related to their contracts with their old European clubs.

For the current Raptors, there is no doubt that combat power is what the Raptors are most in short need.

In addition, Su Feng is sure that he will leave the Raptors in the future, so he doesn't want to work hard to train newcomers for the Raptors.

You must know that when Ginobili and Kirilenko complete their leveling, Su Feng may leave the Raptors at that time.

Moreover, even if Su Feng can use his mouth to persuade Kirilenko and Ginobili to join the NBA in advance, it is useless.

Because the NBA restricts the relationship between the team's buyout fees for international players, this time, Raptors owner Chad can't do it even if he wants to.

Therefore, under Su Feng's hint, Davis quickly handed over his reinforcement plan to Gruward.

There are a lot of quality rookies in the top 99, so if you can trade up, trade as much as you can.

And if you can't trade up, then use both of these draft picks as bargaining chips to exchange for a meat shield that can carry O'Neal back.

For Su Feng, who knows how perverted O'Neal will be next season, in his opinion, if the Raptors want to defend their title next season, they must plan how to sink this fathead fish from now on.

After all, with O'Neal, Kobe, Rice, Lewis and others in the lineup, from the point of view of book strength, this Lakers team is definitely stronger than the one in Su Feng's memory.

As for the opponents in the east......

Let's not talk about opponents like the Pacers and the Heat.

After another first grade, the hell knows how strong the Celtics will be next season......

One thing to say, if the Raptors want to defend their title next season, the difficulty is definitely galaxy-level.

"This crown is a key ......"

On this day, touching his falling hair, Su Feng silently sighed in his heart.

Because if he doesn't win this championship this season, then if he wants to win the championship in the future, he really doesn't know what year and month he will have to wait.

In short, it's good to be ahead on the start.

But if you forget the awe of this era because of this, it is only a matter of time before Su Feng is overtaken next......
