Chapter 16 Rookie Contract (Part I)

Osborne arrived at the president's office, where he and Dacomilisic were taken to separate rooms to prevent leaks of the contract. Although Osborne's fight was rumored, and he was interviewed today, he made a big remark, which is simply the rhythm of carrying out the fight to the death, but Osborne was still included in the championship lineup of the Pistons by Joe Dumas, which is one of the championship maps. However, Osborne's rookie contract is not guaranteed, and the rookie contract generally has a lot to do with the draft pick, since the NBA changed the rookie signing rules, the rookie contract has become more and more cautious, even the rookies at the top of the draft rankings have parallel goods, such as the most famous parallel goods champion Kwame Brown, as well as the famous rookie Milicic, and the most famous rookie Michael Jordan, and of course, the rookie Kobe Bryant who was directly traded to the Lakers after being selected by the Hornets until the 13th pick. All of the above shows that the draft pick is not indicative of a player's future achievements.

Speaking to the team's president, Joe Dumas, Osborne said: "The head coach just told me that I was here to sign a rookie contract with Daco Milicic. Joe Dumas said: "Yes, the rookie contract is going to be determined today, do you have an agent or something, negotiate with the team on your behalf. As soon as Osborne thought of his cheap brother Ivan, he knew that he was a rookie who had just become an agent, and it seemed that his family was quite wealthy, so he decided to complete the signing on his own, and he said: "President, tell me the details of the rookie contract, I can solve it myself." But Jo Dumas asked: "You are not 18 years old this year, you are still a minor, you can't exercise the conditions of independent contracting, you still have to find a guardian, and there is no hurry, you can come back at night to sign the contract, otherwise it will not be beautiful to get into trouble." ”

Osborne thought that his birthday was January 1, 1986, but today is July 1, 2003, he is only 17 years old and not yet 18 years old, and he has no choice but to find the unreliable agent brother Ivan to solve it, but when Osborne was about to call Ivan, the system god suddenly said: "Osborne, don't rush to sign a contract first, I'll give you a reference, you first tell your team president Joe Dumas that you need to think and think, and leave the president's office first." Osborne heard that the system god who was usually there suddenly wanted to give him a reference, and he immediately felt that this signing must be very important, so he said to Joe Dumas: "President, I need to think about it and give you an answer in the evening." Jo Dumas knew that he had to be cautious when signing a contract, so he said: "Okay, you go back first, don't be in a hurry about the signing." With that, he motioned for Osbourne to leave. Then Osborne left the president's office and walked out of the training hall building, and went directly to the car where Ivan was still waiting, and after Osborne got in the car, he said to Ivan: "Let's go back first, today's physical test went well." Ivan didn't say anything, and drove back to the luxury hotel, and then Osborne said to Ivan: "Brother, you better find a house with an independent training room and swimming pool first, it's not a long-term solution to always live in a hotel." Then Ivan replied: "Okay, Osborne, I will find a house that you are satisfied with as soon as possible, I will go first, you must have a good rest." ”

When Ivan walked out of his room, Osborne couldn't wait to enter the system space, and then Osborne asked the system god: "What advice do you have about signing the contract, why are you in such a hurry to call me out?" The system replied: "I'll ask you a question first, do you plan to play for the Pistons for a long time or make a name for yourself and move to some well-established team." Osborne really didn't think about this problem, the key is that Osborne is not sure how long he can play famous, but he still replied: "I don't think I'm suitable for the Pistons captain time, although the Pistons are relatively good in 03~06, but in the final analysis, they play civilian basketball, not superstar basketball, and I will have to part ways with them sooner or later." Why do you ask this? After listening to Osborne's answer, the system god pondered for a while, and then said: "You are a player who wants to become a superstar after all, and it is not suitable to stay in the small temple of the Detroit Pistons for a long time, so let's give you two suggestions, depending on the kind you choose, the first suggestion is, I will help you gain a foothold in the Pistons, and then you hide your level as much as possible in the Pistons, and after winning the championship, you will actively seek a trade, and the second is that you quickly rise to become a superstar in the Pistons, Let your head coach Larry Brown feel the crisis brought about by your rise, so that your appearance will destroy the team's chemistry, and then Larry Brown will definitely compress your playing time for the sake of the team's record, you will take the opportunity to express your dissatisfaction, and then let the team president Joe Dumas choose one of the two, choose you or Larry Brown, but the Osborne Pistons will definitely choose Larry Brown, after all, the Pistons themselves are a teamwork team, the starting five Tigers in the Pistons center Ben Wallace, power forward Rasheed Wallace, Small forward Tysha Ann Princes, scoring guard Richard Hamilton, and point guard Chancey Billups, these five people, to say that the individual ability is not very strong, but the combination can beat the Lakers with F4, so the Pistons' style of play is team basketball, not superstar basketball, after all, the Lakers' superstar basketball failed miserably in team basketball. So when you have the potential to be a superstar, it's going to make Larry Brown feel in crisis, and you're out of step with the style of the team, so the Pistons are going to be head coach Larry Brown, and you're going to be traded, but you can choose to go to that team. ”

Osborne thought about it carefully, he was able to win a championship when he first entered the league, and it would be perfect if he could get a championship every season in the future, so Osborne replied: "I choose the second one, and you crackle and say a lot of suggestions about the second one, don't you just want me to choose the second one?" But I wouldn't have chosen the first suggestion without your hint, it's not in line with my character, I definitely have to be one of the core members of the Pistons' championship-winning lineup, not the so-called hugging of the thighs to get a championship ring, I don't want to leave regrets in my perfect life, otherwise people will always say in the future, you see how lucky that OMG is to be able to get a championship ring just after entering the league, I want them to know that this championship is earned by my hard work, not by playing soy sauce, you see Kobe Bryant, how powerful, there have been five championships, but because the early stage of his basketball career has been living under the shadow of the peak shark O'Neal, as soon as others mention his three consecutive championships, they say that he hugged O'Neal's big thick legs, and LeBron James, the rookie champion of the same class as me, is also a very powerful figure, but he did not hesitate to be scolded for the championship, and Bosh and Wade formed the most terrifying Big Three at that time, although he finally won two championships in a row, and also won two regular season MVPs and finals MVPs in a row, Anyone with a discerning eye knows his huge role, but he is still considered to be hugging his thighs. I don't want to be one of those two, I decided, I'm going to win the Finals MVP in my rookie season, you have to help me. ”

After hearing Osborne's ambition, the system god suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but he didn't expect that there would be a brazen person like Osborne in the world, and he complained in his heart: I'm so stupid, really. Then the system god roared at Osborne: "With your current physical conditions and technical conditions, in such a short period of time, you will not be able to grow to the level of MVP in the finals, unless the judges are blind, they will agree to you becoming MVP." You can just treat the regular season MVP as a dish in your bowl and go straight to a grand slam. ”
