Davidson shook his head directly at Petri, sighed and said, "Let me figure out how to do this."

"It's definitely not possible to sell Battle at this juncture, unless we don't want to go further in the playoffs this season."

Petri also nodded helplessly, if he didn't have a way, he wasn't a fool, how could he have the idea of betraying Battle.

Back at their lodgings, Muresan and Battle were watching television, which featured the old movie Godfather.

After coming to the United States, Battle was completely obsessed with the Godfather series of movies and watched them several times

"What's wrong, Wilson, what's going on?" When Battle saw Davidson with a sad face, he couldn't help but ask.

"Today, while there are no outsiders, let's have a good chat with the three of us." Davidson sat on the couch and said to the two of them.

In fact, it is not only Battle's contract that is problematic at the moment, but also Muraysan's contract expires after this season, and the Kings will definitely have to come up with a reasonable contract at that time.

"George, your rookie contract is over at the end of this season, have you ever thought about preparing your next contract?" Davidson asked Murraysan first.

Muresan shook his head, "Probably just look at it, when the time comes, let's take a look at the contracts between Rodman and Mutombo, it doesn't matter if it's less than them." ”

Davidson smiled and nodded, Muressan's temperament belongs to the kind of temperament that does not fight or grab, but even so, the king must not treat Muresan too badly in terms of contract, otherwise, Davidson will definitely not agree to be the first one.

Muresan's contract is only a minor issue, and after this season, the Kings will be able to clean up a lot of junk contracts.

For example, Lionel Simmons, who is completely playing soy sauce, has his contract with an annual salary of 2.7 million that expires.

Little Potato Webb's contract of 2 million has also expired.

The 2.6 million soy sauce Bobby Hurley is also out of contract.

These three alone can save more than seven million annual salaries, and there is no problem at all in renewing Muresan's contract.

In fact, in Davidson's view, the real value of the King's ghost lineup last season was actually 3.5 million Richmond, 2.4 million Walter Williams and 1.05 million Brian Grant.

This season, we have to add Murraysan and Battle, and the rest of the players are of little value in Davidson's opinion, and if they can be disposed of, they should be disposed of as soon as possible.

Predictably, the King's salary space will certainly not be a problem at all next season, and if it weren't for Battle's special situation, Davidson wouldn't have had a headache.

"Daba, your situation is a bit complicated, let me tell you about the situation first." Davidson then told Battle about the situation without any concealment.

After hearing this, Battle was directly dumbfounded.

He didn't know the rules at all, he just thought that the stronger he was, the higher the contract he could get, but he never expected that there would be such a cheating rule here.

"Wilson, this is too tricky, what should I do now?"

"It's too bad, I have to earn two years less, maybe I have to make 10 million dollars less, good guy, more than 80 million yuan!"

"That's enough for me to buy half a small city," Battle said, winking.

On the one hand, he was shocked by Davidson's annual salary of more than five million, and on the other hand, he was also shocked by this rule.

The purchasing power of more than 80 million yuan in the current era is absolutely unimaginably high.

In a place like Beijing, you can buy a good house for 100,000 yuan, and if you put it in a small city, a house for 10,000 yuan, and more than 80 million yuan can buy half a small city.

"Let's all figure it out." Davidson said with a bitter face.

All three fell silent, rubbing their temples and beginning to ponder.

A few minutes later, Muresan jumped up directly on the couch.

"I thought of it!" Mu Leisan said excitedly.

"What's the idea? Big George. Battle asked in surprise.

Davidson also looked at Murraysan in surprise.

"Why don't you let the Kings give up next year's team option and sign another two-year contract with the bus, so that after two years, the bus will be able to get a high salary." Muresan grinned.

Battle clapped his hands and applauded, he thought it was a good idea.

But Davidson knew that this was not a perfect solution.

First of all, it's really hard to say whether the Kings will agree or not, and they are afraid that if they really give up the team option and Battle runs away, then they really have no place to cry.

Giving up the team option means that the team will give up the contract with Battle next season, and Battle will become a full free agent, and he will still be the kind of free agent who can go directly to other teams to get a high salary, and the Kings must have scruples.

This kind of thing has not happened in history

The player tricks the team into giving up the team option and runs away, and the team tricks the player into exercising the player option and sells it

The classic example of a player cheating on a team is the Cavaliers and Boozer, and the classic example of a team cheating a player is Green Kai Aangie cheating on Baines.

Anyway, there is absolutely no shortage of tricks in the alliance.

In addition to the reason why the king was afraid of being deceived, this method actually saved Battle a year of high salary.

After all, if he leaves after two years, Battle can directly get a high salary, and now with this method, it will take three years

Without this method, if Battle wanted to stay with the king and get a high salary, he would have to have to pay four years.

Davidson explained the pros and cons of this method carefully to Battle.

"It's okay, Wilson, if you can win the championship, you can actually accept it."

"It's not easy to come to play, and you can't just patronize it to make money, at least you have to make a name for yourself, otherwise, you won't be able to explain to domestic fans."

"Besides, the year lost here will be made up for sooner or later, and it's a big deal that you can ask the king to sign the contract when the time comes," Battle said with a laugh.

Davidson was also happy, and the problem that bothered him was solved.

But then we have to communicate with the Kings and ask them to give up Battle's team option, as long as the Kings agree, then the matter is completely settled.

Finding Petri, Davidson told Petrie about the situation.

Petri's face was full of shock.

"Wilson, are you sure?!"

Davidson nodded, "Naturally, sure, if I'm not sure, I'll come to you to discuss this?" ”

"You really made Battle give up a year's high salary and then prepare to stay in our king? God, how is this possible! Petrie was stunned.

He is ready to leave Battle at the end of his two-year contract.

In his opinion, there is only such a possibility, if he were himself, he would definitely run away, who has a grudge against money
