597. Or I'll sign you
"Eh, boss, you're too stingy! Last time we came there was red wine, this time how to make juice! Thompson was very dissatisfied, "When you come to Oakland, we take you to the most famous nightclub to take turns to play, and if you don't take a woman to the hotel, you have to order a few pours, what are you called, by the way, the same bronchitis as Kobe, not to mention, Mary is a good woman, this is as it should be, but you asked us to play electric at home?" Let's not talk about playing electric, this time I don't even have alcohol! ”
Liu Ren rolled his eyes: "No money." ”
"Just kidding! Not to mention the income of your agency, Durant and Kobe are both players of your company, and you have your own brand, there will be no money! You're just stingy! Thompson looked disdainful.
was despised, but Liu Ren had nothing to say! Although the company that acquired Pelinka did not announce the specific details of the transaction, it will certainly not cost too much money, because Pelinka is anxious to sell the brokerage company and then buy the shares in the hands of the Lakers Jim Buss to become Lakers management.
Liu Ren's acquisition of Lakers shares is only known to the league, and it will not be deliberately announced, and there is no player in the league's rules who are not allowed to hold shares in NBA teams, and Liu Ren has used other companies to cover up this matter, so there is naturally no need to announce it.
So in Thompson's view, Liu Ren is now in the stage of making a lot of money, the kind of ......
Liu Ren has entertained Curry at least twice a year in the past two years, and if the Warriors are going to play against the Lakers or Clippers in the playoffs, there will be one time, and today is the time for Liu Ren to entertain Curry, of course, there is also the slightly squeezy Thompson next to him.
Regarding Chick's acquisition of Pelinka's company, Liu Ren really didn't expect that the acquisition of Jim Buss's Lakers shares would be unexpected, and he would accidentally become the small boss of the Lakers! Although it nominally belongs to H&L brokerage media company, Liu Ren has more than 80% of the company's shares, and the remaining 10% of the shares belong to the chick, basically it can be said that 7% of the Lakers' shares are his, in addition to the five Buss sisters and brothers, and the big investor, he is the seventh largest shareholder of the Lakers!
However, Liu Ren's money has also become tight, in addition to the necessary liquidity on the company's side, other stocks and deposits are all gone, and he probably sold some of the real estate projects in China out of kindness, and most of them were converted into rental houses, which were rented to those migrant workers and white-collar workers at a low price.
In other words, Xiaoniu is estimated that she will not give Liu Ren pocket money for several years, and he will only receive that salary to survive.
Fortunately, a bigger contract will be signed at the end of this season, although it has not ended in the first month of this year, but according to the assessment of the professional financial analysis company, there is no big problem for the NBA salary cap to exceed 90 million next season, and Liu Ren is confident that he will win a super big contract, which is estimated to be no smaller than Anthony Davis's 5-year 140 million contract.
Liu Ren hurts every time he thinks of this, if he wants to renew his contract early at the end of last season, he will definitely be able to get a contract extension that reaches 30% of the salary cap, and the Lakers may even give up Liu Ren's cheap salary of 6 million in the last year this year to sign the maximum salary directly, but the current salary cap is 70 million, and the maximum salary is only 21 million starting salary, which is too far worse than the contract he can get next year with a minimum starting salary of 24 million according to the prediction of a professional financial company.
But because it has been four years since the rookie period has passed, Liu Ren has only played in the NBA for five years after playing this season, that is, he has not met the terms set by the veteran, and he cannot sign a new contract with a starting salary of 30% of the salary cap, but after another four years of rookie period, the Rose clause cannot be used, and he can only get a new contract with a starting salary of 25%, which is the most painful part......
"Clay, can't you see it? Boss: This is because we stole the first place in the league, and you don't know how stingy he is! "Curry is also inflated......
"Right now you're not number one in the league! Tomorrow we will take back the number one in the league! You're just lucky not to have met us before. Liu Ren said unhappily.
"Okay...... We wait. "Curry is starting to be tsundere.
Although Thompson is dissatisfied that today's drink has turned into juice, he is used to Liu Ren's various stinginess, just like he is used to the title of shooting three-pointers......
But even so, Thompson is still more interested in Liu Ren inviting them to play in his training gym than Liu Ren asking them to go out to play, which means that Liu Ren regards him as a player at the same level as Curry, and Liu Ren invites all the Lakers players to play at home are superstars.
Liu Ren doesn't know how this statement came out, although he really only invited those superstars, but it's not that he has to do this, but the role players of other teams don't have any chance to get in touch with it, but it makes Thompson not angry with Liu Ren and proud of Liu Ren's invitation.
Thompson played for a while, he really didn't know how Curry became friends with Liu Ren, a boring guy, he can play a video game, he still chose to practice shooting, anyway, Liu Ren's training gym has everything like the team.
Seeing Thompson leave, Curry hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, I have something I want to consult you." ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Ren felt that Curry had been weird today, except for the incident about the first place in the league, he was silent at other times.
Curry hesitated again and said: "Under Armour wants to renew my contract, and I rejected their 5-year, 70 million contract. ”
"70 million in 5 years? They sent the begging guys, right? You're the hottest point guard right now, less than 20 million and they're too embarrassed to speak? "Liu Ren thinks Under Armour is the head watt!
"That's right, so I refused, but two days ago they gave me a five-year, 100 million contract."
"That's great!"
"I still refused."
“……”
"I'm not happy! Very unpleasant! Why short contracts again! Do you really think I'm just an accidental outburst? I'm upset! And you have to give me a price increase after we have a good record? But my agent kept trying to persuade me to renew my contract, and he was just for that signing fee! Don't let me know how much money Under Armour gave him! ”
Curry's face is really not suitable for anger, it looks like a child is angry.
However, Liu Ren understands Curry's thoughts very well, in fact, he doesn't blame Under Armour, after all, it is not the two giants of Adi and Nike.
Although Curry and his Warriors have risen as strongly as Liu Ren in that world, because of Liu Ren's appearance, the Warriors did not win the championship, and Curry did not win the MVP.
And this hesitation made Curry unhappy, Curry has always been confident that he is no worse than anyone else, although he has a good relationship with Liu Ren, he still wants to beat Liu Ren.
As for the agent, there are often efforts to match players to sign with a certain company or a team, no one believes it, which is also the reason why more and more young players who have not signed an agent or players who have only signed a short-term contract for a few years since James opened a brokerage company would rather pay hundreds of thousands of liquidated damages to go to James's agency, and the same is true for choosing Liu Ren's agency, because James and Liu Ren's agency are player-centric, and making money is of course very important, but it will give more consideration to the development of players, as well as ...... The possibility of huddles.
And most brokers are how to make money and how to come.
Liu Ren suddenly had an idea: "Stephen, let me ask you." ”
"What?"
"When does your contract with Under Armour expire?"
"At the end of December."
"Otherwise, I'll sign you......"
“……”

“. The Lakers vs. Warriors game brought to you by T Sports TV, I'm your old friend Kenny, and I'm here to introduce you to the ...... between the two sides."
Kenny Smith was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"I said Shaq, who do you think will win the Lakers or the Warriors?"
Kenny Smith endured and continued, "I'll give you ......"
Interrupted again, O'Neill shook his clothes and said, "Charles, from today onwards, you will call me the Great Mentor!" ”
Kenny Smith said he wasn't angry and continued, "I'm here to introduce you to ......"
Unsurprisingly, he was interrupted again, and Barkley said with a look of disdain: "Mentor? What endorsements did you receive from China? By the way, the last time I went to China for a big meal, it tasted amazing, I heard that their chef graduated from a chef academy called New Oriental, did you change your career to become a chef? ”
After Barkley finished speaking, he and O'Neal both looked at Kenny Smith, apparently the two of them had deliberately interrupted Kenny Smith.
"I'......," Kenny Smith despaired, "I'd better tell you." ”
O'Neal tidied up his clothes again: "This big tutor is a basketball tutor!" ”
"Hahahaha...... Laugh at me, Shaq, are you still a basketball instructor? Do you teach someone how to use the fat and then hit the basket? Barkley scoffed.
"Damn! You go ask the boss! What I taught him is not powerful! O'Neill immediately retorted.
"Yo yo yo, can you still teach the boss? Teach him free throws? Could it be that you taught the boss such a bad free throw? Oh, my God! The fans will be splashing paint on your home! Barkley cried.
"......" O'Neill was instantly choked speechless.
Kenny Smith looked sad, how can he partner with these two second-class goods......
……
In the comic commentary group comics, the Lakers and Warriors game has begun.
Whiteside narrowly won the jump ball with Randle, not to mention, Randle's explosiveness is really amazing, and the height difference of nearly ten centimeters almost won the jump ball from Whiteside's head.
Fortunately, Whiteside had already seen Randle's bouncing explosiveness in the preseason, and this time he was fully focused on jumping the ball and was not stolen by the opponent.
However, the Warriors are extremely quick to defend, and the Lakers' quick one-shot play is basically useless against top teams.
The Lakers attacked first, and Antetokounmpo advanced with the ball.
Today's Lakers starting lineup is Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside.
LaVine, Biyombo, and Nance Jr. were rested in rotation, but Blake was put on the activation list, D'Antoni seems to value Blake more for Biyombo and Blake, Biyombo's offensive awareness is really bad, his physical fitness is not stronger than Blake's, and he does not have Blake's offensive awareness.
Biyombo is actually a very good player in D'Antoni's opinion, with excellent defense and vitality, but without offensive awareness, he can't integrate into the Lakers' system, and D'Antoni can only choose to give up.
The starting lineup on the Warriors' side is the death five again, Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Randle, and Jason Thompson.
