After negotiating a contract with Robinson, Richard felt like he was officially in the job.

However, the official signing will only be done in July when the door of the trading market opens.

After Robinson's contract is finalized, the next step is Big Ben's contract.

Big Ben has been following Richard, so he hasn't got an agent until now, and he came to negotiate a contract with Orsie himself......

When he saw Big Ben walk into his office with a smile on his face, Orshi felt as uncomfortable as a dead fly.

He may have had a brain in the water, and Richard said that he would give Big Ben a 3-year, $3 million, similar to the level of O'Neal Jr.'s rookie contract......

At that time, it was over, and I had to make so many moths!

Now it's over, although Big Ben didn't play an All-Star level contract this season, but he wants to spend it with an annual salary of 1 million? Don't even think about it......

"Hey, Mr. Orhi, it's a pleasure to meet you......" Big Black laughed.

Orsi rolls her eyes, upset to see yourself.

Last season, Big Ben averaged 11 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1 steal per game, and was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team, although it is not the league's top blue-collar interior line......

But the first-line blue-collar inner line can still be counted!

With such strength, if it were not limited by the labor and salary agreement, it is estimated that Big Ben could get a contract with an annual salary of about four million......

You must know that Dudley, who is also a blue-collar insider, is too far worse than Big Ben's strength, but everyone has received an annual salary of 3.5 million.

Even if there are restrictions on labor and salary agreements, Daben's salary will be greatly increased.

According to the labor agreement, the second contract of the second-round pick must be signed for at least two years, and the annual salary cap is higher than the mid-level salary or 125% of last season's salary.

Big Ben's salary of seven or eight hundred thousand dollars last season, 125% is definitely not much, but if you take it according to the middle class, it is amazing.

Next season's median class will be about $2.33 million, and next season's middle class will be about $2.6 million!

If you sign a contract for two consecutive years, you can get a salary of $4.93 million in the next two years......

Think about the original Richard asked Daben to sign 3 years and 3 million, and Orsch also raised the bar with Richard.

Well, now you don't have to sign 3 million for 3 years, counting the salary that Big Ben just finished this season, Olhi will have to pay Big Ben about 5.7 million salary in three years!

Almost double the offer that Richard said!

It's a big loss, a blood loss!

Now Orsie fell into deep regret and self-blame, what was he thinking at the beginning, and directly promised Richard how good it was.

……

Now that the contract has been negotiated, what can Olhi do?

I can only pinch my nose and admit it......

The only thing that is worthy of Olxi's gratification is that this middle class is actually quite valuable for the strength of Big Ben, and if you don't give it on your side, some teams are willing to give it!

Now Big Ben can only get a middle-class contract at most, even if he is now a complete free agent, if other teams want to sign him, they can only give him a middle-class contract at most.

Therefore, the current big Ben will not have the kind of thing like Arenas in the future, the home team cannot match the contracts given by other teams, and miss out on good players......

But when Big Ben's contract ends for the next two years, something could happen to Arenas......

At that time, the devil will know if there will be a Ben-Wallace clause.

……

At present, the Trail Blazers also need to renew the contracts of Robinson and Big Ben, so basically Richard has completed the contract extension of the player.

The next step is to start looking at trading......

Player trades, draft picks trades, and more.

The lottery has long been over, and the draft picks in the hands of each team have been fixed, and the Trail Blazers who entered the playoffs are naturally not eligible to participate in the lottery, and their own first-round picks are the eighteenth pick in the first round!

And the draft pick he got from the Hornets was even more miserable, only the 23rd pick in the first round......

With such two first-round picks, it is basically useless to select the players they like in this draft with a very low star production.

So Richard immediately began to contact the parties to make a transaction......

……

Several newcomers of the team have not returned home at all since the end of the last yacht party, and have been staying at the team's training ground for training.

Big Ben deeply felt the lack of his strength, if his strength could be stronger, then the opponent O'Neill would not be blown up.

Fight with Marlon, and you won't fall into the disadvantage.

So Big Ben began to frantically hone his strength, and with the help of the team's nutritionist, he began to gain muscle!

According to this kind of training intensity, after training for half a year, the ghost knows how terrifying the devil muscle man will become.

Big Ben has now fully recognized his positioning, scoring can be without, and even scoring zero in a game is no problem, but there must be rebounds, defense must have, and fights must be won!

He had a hunch that he would definitely have a battle with Malone in the future!

In this battle, he must find his way back......

Xiao Ao's point, it is also crazy to gain muscle and polish strength, strength is basically the key to whether an inside player can gain a foothold on the inside, if there is no strength and tonnage, what to take to occupy the inside advantage, what to take to the hard steel with others.

Xiao Ao is not the kind of player with delicate skills, so the only thing in front of him at the moment is to train hard!

While gaining muscle and polishing strength, Xiao Ao also trains his mid-range shooting ability as much as possible.

Unlike Big Ben, Xiao Ao also has to take on some offensive responsibilities and develop a good mid-range shooting ability, which will definitely make Xiao Ao more threatening on the offensive end!

You don't need a terrifying mid-range shot like Rashid, it's enough to open up the opponent's defensive space under the basket.

……

As for Kobe, he is a little lonely now, because Zhang Weiping returned to China and went to reunite with his daughter-in-law, he appeared in the stadium in the early hours of the morning every day, training alone, and there were team staff at the end of the three days to adjust the basket.

……

Seeing the crazy training of the players under his hands, Richard was naturally very happy, and the growth of newcomers depends on conscious training!

Don't underestimate the off-season training, which can determine the level of performance of the players in the new season.

Those who train hard may play far beyond the level of last season in the new season, such as Oladipo, who was traded to the Pacers by the Thunder in the future, after an offseason training, he was originally sprayed as a good-for-nothing Thunder second leader, and after arriving at the Pacers, he directly incarnated as Ola Jordan, all kinds of powers!

There are countless examples of how hard training in the offseason has been completed in the new season.

Richard is now also looking forward to whether these newcomers he selected can make any amazing improvements in the new season!

In the season that just ended, these newcomers selected by Richard actually performed extremely well, but they can't be called amazing!

What kind of level these newcomers will play in the new season, in fact, Richard has no score in his heart......

However, seeing them train so hard, I don't think it will be much worse.

Especially at this point in Kobe, Richard felt the need to continue to let go of his shackles before the start of the new season.
