This year's free agent market has long been predicted to be the craziest year in history. Fastest updates

At 24 o'clock in the evening of June 30, the madness began to stage, and hundreds of millions of yuan contracts began to break out one after another.

Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards agreed to a big five-year, $128 million contract.

Soon after, he announced early that he would not go anywhere except the Raptors, and DeRozan, one of the garbage brothers, reached a five-year, 139 million contract with the Toronto Raptors.

The Hornets of Jordan, the god of basketball, and French small forward Nicolas Batum have reached a five-year, 120 million contract.

Drummond also quickly agreed a five-year, $130 million contract with parent club Detroit Pistons.

These players have signed huge contracts with their parent clubs.

On the first day of the opening of the free agent market, a 100 million yuan contract that was once extremely rare in the NBA flew all over the sky!

"Chen arrives! Come here!! ”

Chen Zhi was practicing in the basketball court room of the Highland Park mansion, and Zhou Jian ran over breathlessly with his mobile phone!

"Contract! Contract! I received a quote contract for you! ”

Zhou Jian shouted excitedly, not at all like a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Chen Zhi was shocked when he heard this, "Which team sent it!" ”

On the first day of the free agent market, he sent an offer for the contract, and it was clear that Chen Zhi took it very seriously.

"Won't you ask how big the contract is first?" Zhou Jian didn't answer, but asked excitedly, "Contract amount, ask me about the contract amount!" ”

Zhou Jian, who received a contract as an economist for the first time, seems to be more excited than Chen Zhi, who received his first player contract.

"May I ask if you are Zhou Jian, where has my brother Zhou gone!" Chen Zhi joked when he saw this.

"60 million! 60 million in 4 years! Rice knife! Oh, my God! It's so sincere, it's so sincere! Chen, go to the bull! Gosh, you're definitely the highest-paid undrafted first contract in history! ”

The figure of about 60 million is too big, Zhou Jian couldn't suppress it, and without waiting for Chen Ao to ask, he had already shouted it out over and over again.

He is not afraid that Chen Zhi will joke that he has not seen the world, at least he has seen much more of the world than Chen Zhi, so he knows how much 60 million meters of gold there is.

Hearing this number, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be surprised, sure enough, as Zhou Jian said, the Bulls management was too sincere.

Of course, Chen Zhi has seen the debates about his annual salary on the Internet, and the most daring and crazy prediction is only a full middle class, about five or six million.

In fact, Chen Zhi couldn't help but reply to a post, "I think Chen Zhi can get a contract that is larger than the amount you said, such as 8 million a year." ”

However, the message after that made Chen Zhi very embarrassed.

"Look at the way you write English so neatly, and you advocate Chen Dao like this, you are Chinese, man! But Chen Zhi is definitely not worth the price of 8 million! ”

“lol! Upstairs is like a torch! ”

"Ha, this big brother from Huaxia, you should learn how to use abbreviations, chatting is not written in English, don't be so one-sided!"

Countries where English is the mother tongue are indeed very different from the English taught in Chinese schools in the daily use of English.

Even in Chen Zhi's expectations, it is already very good to have a contract with an annual salary of about 8 million, and this amount is already more than two million more than the amount that Zhuangyuan Xiu can get!

I didn't expect the Bulls to be so generous, this is probably related to the fact that the Bulls urgently need a starting point guard and they are also in the rebuilding period.

"Do you want to say yes to them right away?" Zhou Jian said excitedly, "I don't think there is any need to read the details of the contract!" ”

This agent is too "qualified", amateur is amateur, no professionalism, and probably carried away by a big contract.

"Let's take a look! I'm curious about that, aren't you? Chen Zhi said.

"Okay, I'll pass you a copy of the contract!"

Chen Zhi took out his mobile phone and opened the document sent by Zhou Jian and read it slowly.

When Chen looked at the contract, Zhou Jian simply looked at it, this is a 2+1+1 contract similar to the first-round rookie, the first two years of the contract are guaranteed, and the third and fourth years are team options.

After the first season, the Bulls can choose whether or not to execute Chen's contract until the third year, which means that if Chen doesn't meet expectations, the team can terminate the contract in the third year, which is a normal clause, which is included in the standard contract of first-round rookies.

However, regarding the amount of the contract, Zhou Jian immediately understood that the average annual salary of the contract given by the Bulls is actually not 15 million, including bonus clauses, and the amount is still very high, if Chen can get an average of 10 assists + 5 rebounds per game in any season, he can get a bonus of 2 million, otherwise he will not get 2 million.

Still, it's a high-value contract.

"I don't think there's a problem, what do you think?" Zhou Jian asked.

After reading it, Chen Zhi didn't find any problems, nodded and said, "There's no problem." Brother Zhou, you can reply to them, and you can sign a contract as soon as the freezing period expires in July. ”

"Hmmm! Good! Zhou Jian replied excitedly when he heard this.

Since July 1st, the team has entered the next season in a broad sense, and the team can negotiate with the player, but because the NBA league needs time to calculate the financial income and expenditure, and thus calculate a series of specific amounts such as the salary cap and luxury tax for next season, the team and the player cannot reach a formal contract during the freeze period, and can only reach a verbal agreement. After all, many salary calculations in the NBA are related to the salary cap, and the contract can only be accurate after the salary cap is specified.

The oral agreement reached during this period is only bound by credit, so there is a possibility of repentance due to dishonesty, but the law will not pursue it, because the oral agreement has no legal effect.

Originally, the freeze period in July was as long as 10 days, but after the "Joe Keep Promises" incident of DeAndre and the Dallas Mavericks, the league shortened the freeze period to five days in order to reduce the occurrence of such broken promises.

In other words, Chen can complete the contract with the Bulls on July 6 at the earliest!

Zhou Jian had already opened the email and was about to reply to the Bulls, but he heard two ding-dong sounds, and the new email arrived, looking at the title, Zhou Jian said: "The Spurs and the Heat also sent an offer contract." ”

Zhou Jian casually opened the email from Spurs, but there was no contract template, only a few sentences.

He couldn't help but say: "If you are particularly interested in the Spurs, such as the old man who admires the Spurs, or the other teams you try out are a group of blind people, you can come to the Spurs, we can only give a contract of about the middle class, because our interior line is in urgent need of reinforcement, and we can't spare more salary space, you know, the Spurs are notoriously poor!" However, if you come to the Spurs, I will definitely train you to become a superstar in the league. ”

"Haha, it's very *** vicious!" Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
