The one hundred and fourth big contract
"Mr. Marles, after a review by our team management, we agreed that you can become the next super center of the Lakers, and we can offer you a seven-year, 83 million starting salary of 9 million, you know, this is the highest amount of contract ever offered by our team without last year's Shaq. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Jenny Buss who spoke, she is the daughter of Lakers owner Jerry Buss, she used to be a model, she is an out-and-out beauty, she is 36 years old this year, but she is still charming, and she is dressed very formally today, a professional suit all reveals the unique intellectual beauty of a mature woman.
If Durham hadn't reminded Tony of the ridiculous romances of this woman's youth, Tony would have really been a little thoughtful.
"Jenny, I'm sorry, although my client is loyal to the Lakers, he wants to have more options in the future, so seven years is too long." Fulham still maintained his professional smile, "If I need a long-term contract, I think the five-year 60 million offer in Philadelphia will be more suitable for my guests." ”
In fact, he originally disagreed with the refusal of the Lakers' offer of a long-term contract Toney, but Durham persuaded him by saying that this is a risky move by Tellham, because if he signs a long-term contract, Tony will be more secure, and the price of tens of millions of annual salaries is definitely not low, you know, the contracts of those well-known centers in the league this year are also about 10 million, Hakim Olajuwon's contract this year is 11.1 million, David Robinson is 12.4 million, Shaq O'Neal is 12.8 million, the Lakers can open such a contract, which basically has put Tony and the well-known centers in these leagues on the same level.
With such a conscientious contract, Tony couldn't help but want to sign it directly, with an annual salary of tens of millions! That's an annual salary! What exactly was Talham thinking?
Looking at Talham sitting calmly on the side, Tony's eyes were full of suspicion, and he didn't know if Talham's decision was right or not.
"Durham, I didn't expect you to represent Tony." Jerry West couldn't help but sigh, "With you as a profiteer, it seems that our Lakers are going to bleed again today." ”
"It's my job to get the best interests for my clients." Durham said with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Jerry Bass, who had been sitting tall and silent, spoke.
"Hahn, I know your character, so tell me what kind of contract you think is right for your client."
In the face of the respected old Bass, Durham did not dare to hide anything, "I want to get a 2 to 3 year guaranteed contract for my client." ”
Jerry Bass pondered for a while, "Then we can offer a 3-year, 32 million contract, and it is guaranteed, I hope you can reconsider, this contract is a lot less than the previous one." ”
When Durham heard Old Bass's offer, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
"42 million for 3 years, with a player option for the third year." Talham spoke very quickly, and Tony's eyes widened at this point.
What kind of plane is this Tellem, this appetite is a bit excessive, and he even raised 10 million directly, isn't he afraid of angering the Lakers.
Sure enough, a hint of anger flashed in Jerry Bass's eyes, and his tone gradually became cold, "Mr. Tellham, we are very sincere in negotiating with you, and we hope you can respect us, our salary cap this year is only 26.9 million, and we can't afford to pay half of the salary space to keep a sophomore, even if his talent is excellent." ”
Speaking of this, Jerry Bass changed his words, "Mr. Durham, I think you should have prepared another corresponding plan, why don't you talk about it?" ”
"Okay." Durham nodded, and he stood up, "As for the contract, I insist on the requirement of 42 million for three years, but we can make concessions, and we can accept the team option in the third year." ”
"Oh?" Jerry Bass was a little moved. While the price is high for a rookie who has only been in the league for a year, and they can't predict what Tony's future holds, three years is enough, and the team still has the initiative in the third year, and if Tony's performance doesn't meet expectations, the team can refuse to execute his final year of contract.
began to think about the pros and cons, and after a while, he made a request again, "But we can only offer a starting salary of 10 million in the first year, and we will increase it by 4 million per year." ”
In this way, Bass directly reduced the risk again, according to what he said, Tony will get 18 million contract in the final year, but this will depend on Tony's performance before deciding whether to give it or not.
After listening to the old Buss's words, Durham finally nodded at Tony with satisfaction, and he signaled that Tony could accept the contract.
Durham is actually not worried that the Lakers will not execute the contract in the last year, as long as Tony does not experience any big injuries, he will definitely be able to play superstar-level in three years, and it is good now, if he really refuses to give in, then even if the Lakers agree to Tony, it will be very hot to think about the next. 14 million, this salary has surpassed the vast majority of people in the league, if Tony really signs such a contract, then Trim can expect that in the next season, Tony will definitely be ruthlessly criticized by the outside world, if these affect his commercial contract, it will be worth the loss.
10 million, this price is just right, which proves Tony's strength, is it too public.
But Tony didn't think about it so much, he was very excited, 10 million, which means that Tony is already on the same level as the superstars in the league in terms of salary.
Tony got Tum's offer and he signed the contract.
Back home, Tony is still difficult to calm down, you know, although he also got an advertising contract worth tens of millions last year, but this time it is a salary, which means that his strength has reached this level in the eyes of the team management, which has played a big role in increasing his self-confidence.
But in addition to the excitement, Tony also felt the great pressure, every penny is worth it, Tony can be said to have to play better next season, and his performance must be better than Kobe, after all, Kobe's annual salary this year is only 1.17 million, if he takes an annual salary of 10 million but plays about the same as 1 million, it is almost predictable, Tony will become the object of everyone's ridicule.
Thinking of this, Tony's excitement of signing a big contract suddenly dissipated.
