Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Timberwolves management hurriedly held a special meeting and sent general manager Milt Newton to take full responsibility for signing the contract with Bai.

Team owner Glenn Taylor emphasized to him at the meeting that in order to sign Bai Xiaonian as soon as possible, he can do whatever it takes! Seeing that the boss was so concerned about this matter, General Manager Mittel Newton immediately called Bai Xiaonian's agent Jeff Schwartz at the meeting.

With a warm offer from Milt Newton, Jeff Schwartz soon appeared in the Minnesota Timberwolves' general manager's office.

On weekdays, Jeff Schwartz gives people the impression of an amiable ordinary middle-aged man, but now when it comes to serious business, he is an out-and-out old fox.

"It must be stated in the contract that Wood will play at least 20 minutes per game this season..."

Schwartz slowly talked about his conditions, and looking at his leisurely appearance was as easy as setting up the dragon gate array.

"Okay, that's fine."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Milt Newton hurriedly agreed, this was not an unacceptable request for them, after all, they had chosen Bai Xiaonian as the core of the team.

After saying that, Milt Newton also picked up the glass of water beside him and moistened his throat, it seems that the ace agent in this NBA is not very good...

"I need Wood to have a trading option!"

"Poof..."

After hearing Schwartz's new conditions, the hot water that Milt had just drunk in his mouth squirted out before he could swallow it urgently, but fortunately Jeff Schwartz, who was sitting opposite him, ran fast, otherwise he would definitely end up wet.

"I'm sorry, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly..."

Milt Newton felt that the guy in front of him must have been confused just now, so he decided to give him another chance to reorganize the language.

"No, no, no, you heard me right, Mr. Milt, I need Wood to have a trade option!"

Jeff Schwartz squinted his eyes and said that his image at the moment was like a devil in Milt's mind.

And Rob Bablek, vice president of basketball operations for the Timberwolves, who sat on the side and didn't speak, stood up directly and said sharply:

"Impossible! The new collective bargaining agreement states that there are only two situations in which a player can get the veto on a trade. The first is to automatically generate a Bird clause that automatically creates a Bird clause after playing for the same team for more than two years, which allows for a large contract extension that is not subject to the salary cap for the current season. And the veto power on the trade is only available if the player only signs a short one-year contract at the same time as the Bird clause is triggered..."

After saying a lot of words, Babrick paused slightly, and quietly glanced at Jeff Schwartz, who was sitting across from him. The latter threw him a "please continue your performance" look.

"The second scenario is that only players who have been in the league for eight years and played for the same team for four years are eligible to include a trade veto option in their contracts."

After saying what he wanted to say, Babllake breathed a long sigh of relief, he can be regarded as fighting for the interests of the team, right?

Suddenly, he found that Jeff Schwartz, who had not interrupted him, was looking at him with a playful gaze, which made his scalp tingle for a while, and he couldn't help but wonder what he had just said, could he have said something wrong?

"I said Milt was new here, right?"

Instead of responding directly to Bablig, Jeff Schwartz turned to the silent Milt Newton instead.

"Uh... Yes, this is Rob Bablake, our VP of Basketball Operations, who just took over last week. ”

Mittel-Newton scratched his head and replied.

"No wonder, Mr. Barbllake, please listen clearly this time, I'm talking about the trading option! Not a veto on a deal! ”

Jeff Schwartz laughs and says that the trade option he is talking about is a high trade margin in the contract, a safe option that any player can add to their contract.

"You have to understand that even the trade option is something that only All-Star level players have..."

Milt Newton took Schwartz's words and said, but he was interrupted by Jeff Schwartz before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't you think Wood's potential is definitely an All-Star level? I just don't want my players to be sold like commodities. ”

At Jeff Schwartz's repeated insistence, the Timberwolves had to accede to his request.

"In addition to that, we have to talk about the issue of Wood's bonuses, being selected to the All-Rookie team, being selected to the All-Star team, being selected to the Rookie of the Year, being selected to the best team, being selected to the best team, being selected to the best team, being selected to be selected to the best team, to be selected to be selected to the best team, to be selected to the All-Star team, to be selected

Jeff Schwartz's request was quickly answered by Milt Newton, after all, the higher Bai Xiaonian's achievements in the league, the only good for the team.

"In addition, we need a 20% share of the sales of player merchandise and derivatives, which I don't think is too much!"

“ok！ No problem..."

Milt readily agreed to this request, because he knew very well in his heart that the other party's request was not a lion's mouth.

In the end, after more than two hours of negotiations, Jeff Schwartz secured a four-year rookie 2 contract worth a total of $21.52 million for Bai Xiaonian, and after Bai Xiaonian played two years of playing, the Timberwolves had the option to continue or give up the next two years of contract. Or directly use the Bird clause to throw Bai Xiaonian a bigger contract.

Of course, Jeff Schwartz is not worried that the Minnesota Timberwolves will give up Bai Xiaonian at that time, after all, anyone can see Bai Xiaonian's bottomless potential now.

What's more, the fourth year in this contract is Bai Xiaonian's player option, and he can go outside to accept offers from other teams at that time, if both sides are satisfied with the price, it is not impossible to pat his ass and fly away.

"You're going to be glad you're wise today in the future, because you only spent $20 million to get the best guard in the world!"

Jeff Schwartz stood up satisfied after successfully completing his work, stretched out his hand and said.

"I hope so!"

Gritting his teeth and pouting those words out of his mouth, Milt Newton swore he would never want to see this pesky guy in front of him again!

………

When Jeff Schwartz put this contract in front of Bai Xiaonian, it really scared our little white children's shoes, where is this like a contract, it is completely a bully clause!

Looking at the arrogant super agent in front of him, Bai Xiaonian had to congratulate himself on how correct his decision to hire him was.
