Chapter 16 Shady Contracts
The thought of a newcomer who has just turned 18 years old may be among the top inside lines in the league, the already popular NBA has once again stirred up a thousand waves!
The NBA has not appeared in the grand occasion for nearly ten years, many old fans have begun to pay little attention to the NBA in recent years, the superstars that erupted in the last century, after nearly 20 years, have basically disappeared, and the only remaining Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, Ray Allen, etc. retired in 2016, I have to say that it is a pain in the hearts of fans.

But a generation of newcomers replace the old, this year's NBA is full of highlights, many old fans who were originally disappointed in the NBA have returned, plus Sun Dahei's last game gave all Chinese fans a huge surprise, it can be said that the NBA is now more than when it was popular in previous years.
Since Lao Ding took over the work of Sun Dahei's agent, he is really dedicated, and he contacted various media friends he knew before that night, and said hello to his current position as Dahei's agent.
Many domestic media are in a hurry now? There is such a big news in the basketball world, and a Chinese young man has appeared in the NBA, and they have no idea about it...... They were almost bloodied by the dogs who were scolded by their top bosses. But no matter how they inquired, they couldn't find out Sun Dahei's contact information at all, and they didn't dare to sleep until midnight, thinking about how to explain to their boss tomorrow.
Now Lao Ding's phone call is simply the solution to their urgent need!
Immediately afterwards, Lao Ding struck while the iron was hot, applied for Sun Dahei's official Weibo, and left his work phone number.
Then this night, Lao Ding's phone was never interrupted, interviews, cooperation, endorsements, people from all walks of life almost burst Lao Ding's phone, but Lao Ding still has two brushes, for these calls, have adopted procrastination.
It's not okay if you don't drag it, for example, a domestic underwear manufacturer, taking advantage of the fact that Da Hei has just played a good game now, opened an endorsement contract for Da Hei for 150,000 yuan a year, and almost made Lao Ding angry, who is stumbling on this money?
For a whole night, Lao Ding didn't close his eyes, and the calls came in one after another, and now Lao Ding regretted it a little, he just put the phone out, isn't it a little reckless.
Early the next morning, Sun Dahei saw Lao Ding coming out of the house with red eyes.
"Oh, Dahei, I was just going to look for you? Coach Kerr asked us to go to him, as if to discuss the renewal of the team's contract! Early in the morning, when it was finally quiet, Cole called Lao Ding, who had just squinted for less than three minutes, completely exploded, opened his mouth and answered the phone and came to a national scolding, fortunately Cole didn't understand Chinese......
On the way to find Cole, Sun Dahei and Lao Ding chatted, and when they heard Lao Ding finish talking about the tragedy he had done, he couldn't cry or laugh!
Lao Ding is also real, where is he now, he just played a game, and it is strange that those merchants who ask for endorsements can pay high prices!
Da Hei and they now live in a small apartment near the training ground, of course, it was rented by the Warriors, and it is only a few minutes' walk from the training ground, and the training ground provides food, so Sun Dahei doesn't have to worry about eating and living in this area.
When the two walked to the training ground, they found that there were a lot of people, not only the head coach of Cole, but also two strange middle-aged men.
"Come, big black, let me introduce you, these two are the big bosses of our warriors, Peter Gubor, and Joe Lacober, haha, it's our boss's meaning to wake you up so early, they drove over before five o'clock today!" Cole laughed and introduced them to both sides.
Lao Ding secretly said, these two are famous capitalists in the United States, and they actually went out for the sake of Dahei? It stands to reason that investing in an NBA team is just a business for them, unless it is a talented rookie like Zhan Huang, it is possible to get the attention of the team owner! And Dahei is just playing a game now!
Sun Dahei is still somewhat familiar with one of the Warriors' owners, Joe Lacober, the owner who threw himself into the Tang Shen Five-Body Body, is still quite famous among fans, and Dahei now knows a lot about some celebrities in the NBA, and he recognized this boss at first sight.
There are many behind-the-scenes owners in the NBA who are even more well-known than some players, such as Mark Cuban of the Mavericks, Alexander of the Rockets, and now Joe LaCober of the Warriors.
Needless to say, Mark Cuban is the best rated boss in the NBA, and he really has nothing to say about his players, the German old driver is almost forty years old, and it is impossible to renew the contract for 2 years and 50 million in any team, but Mark Cuban did it, in stark contrast to the Heat's Riley, who treats the team's pillar and spiritual leader, the old Flash Wade, and is reluctant to give even a 20 million contract!
Alexander of the rocket, this person is a typical businessman, and he is generally not highly regarded in the country.
Now that Sun Dahei has come to the Warriors team, the owner LaCober is indeed a good boss, at least he has a good relationship with the players on his team.
After the introduction of the two parties, Sun Dahei knew that it was time to talk about business.
Now in front of Sun Dahei and the Warriors, the only serious thing is the ten-day short-term contract, although Sun Dahei has not seen much of the world, anyone can guess it, can attract the two bosses of the team to come in person, then the Warriors will at least give Sun Dahei a guarantee contract this time!
It's a pity that Sun Dahei couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he could only let Lao Ding come forward in this matter.
Under the bargaining of Lao Ding and Cole, the final result was placed in front of Sun Dahei.
According to Lao Ding's understanding of the NBA, the Warriors are indeed sincere, but unfortunately they are limited to the salary line and cannot give a higher salary.
First: renew the guaranteed contract for this season, and the salary is calculated according to the league's base salary, which is about $540,000.
Second: Before the start of next season, the Warriors will be responsible for all the basic living expenses of Sun's team in Oakland
Third: Due to the fact that Sun Dahei's current basic skills are not very solid, the Warriors will hire a professional coaching team for Sun Dahei, and the language teachers will also be provided by the Warriors! Most importantly, the team can help Sun bring in Ben Wallace, a four-time DPOY in the league, to help him improve his basket protection skills.
Fourth: In order to make up for Sun Dahei's low salary, the warriors are willing to privately provide Sun Dahei's father, that is, the old grandson, with a job with an annual salary of about one million!
These four clauses are just a verbal agreement negotiated between Lao Ding and the Warriors, except for the first agreement, which can be put on the surface, the remaining three are suspected of private transactions between the team and the players, especially the fourth, which is simply a naked shady transaction, so there can be no contract on paper.
Da Hei thought about it, he and his dad can get a salary of about 1.5 million together, plus the coaching team and English personal trainers hired by the Warriors for themselves, providing living expenses and other conditions, the Warriors have definitely invested more than two million dollars in themselves!
Of course, the Warriors have made a huge bargain, and if the Warriors directly offer Sun Dahei a contract of 2 million, then the amount of dollars they need to pay will definitely be more than double this amount.
