Chapter 103: Tony's Agent

"Well, young man, don't always be so emotional. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Durham felt Tony's cold eyes, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this little guy has a big temper, "You know, I'm one of the most famous agents in the NBA, and the benefits I will bring you will definitely far exceed the rewards you pay." ”

"But, as far as I know, this brother Kobe next to me, the price you charge is an average price, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to open your mouth in front of others, right?" Tony laughed suddenly, and he returned the salute with a hint of banter. "Besides, it's a sure thing that I'll get a big contract next, to put it mildly, you won't play a big role, can you get more money than others?"

Durham was not embarrassed to hear Tony's words, "Indeed! Now who doesn't know that you Tony Mars is a big celebrity, you have the hope of winning a big contract in the second year of your career, for our agent, your value can be said to be immeasurable, but it also means that you are unstable, the league history has played in the rookie year but then quickly fell everywhere, players like you are actually very dangerous for us, you are still too young, I can't see the future direction of your career at all, If you play a good price but I don't get a contract of equal value for you, it is my dereliction of duty, if I get a big contract for you and your performance does not deserve this contract, your reputation will be damaged to a certain extent, so that the commercial contract will be reduced, then I will lose a lot? ”

Listening to Tellem's mouth, Tony was a little dazed for a while, but then he reacted, this old fox, don't look at the light and breezy appearance now, he is actually very shrewd.

It's true that Tony has only played for a year, and his future does have some instability, but everyone knows that this instability is minimal, unless he suffers some devastating injuries in the future, otherwise, he has a bright future for at least the next ten years.

Fortunately, Tony's brain turned fast enough that he was not fooled by Talem.

"You can withdraw 5% of my annual salary, and the commercial contract gives you 25%, which is the bottom line that I can accept." Tony thought for a moment and said.

"Deal!" Durham agreed very dryly, and then he stood up directly as if he was afraid that Tony would regret it, and stretched out his palm again, "Mr. Mars, happy cooperation in the future." ”

Looking at Durham who was smiling like a brilliant chrysanthemum, Tony couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he was still too young after all, and he fell into the trap of this old fox again, Tony even suspected that the big lion in Talham at the beginning might not even intend to be able to get this price.

This trick is really beautiful.

Tony shook his head with a wry smile, and the words that came out of his mouth spilled out, and he could only sign his name on the contract.

"Mr. Tellham, I hope that in the future, these careful thoughts of yours can be used to get a contract for me, not for me." Tony gave Durham a meaningful look, but Grimm still had a professional smile and a calm look, as if nothing had happened before.

"Kobe, you really introduced me to a good agent!" Tony glanced at his mouth, he felt that he was clearly being cheated by Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was also a little embarrassed, this Callum did have a big appetite, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Okay, now that the contract has been signed, then, from now on, I will be your agent." Durham double-checked the contract, and when he found it correct, he retrieved the stack of documents back in his bag. "So, may I ask my boss, what do you need me to do next?"

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow Mr. Jerry West is coming to me about a contract extension, and I need you to help me deal with them. Tony was just cheated by Tellem, he naturally wouldn't give him a good look, and he also wanted to see if this Tellum was as powerful as the outside world legend.

Durham rubbed his forehead, "My boss, you threw me such a problem on the first day of work, Jerry West and his assistant Mitch Kupchak are both well-known profiteers." Durham said with a headache, but Tony didn't notice the slightest anxiety in his eyes.

This guy looks completely confident.

But it just so happens that Jerry, the legendary godfather of the Lakers, can be used as a litmus test for Talham to prove his strength.

Next.

In the Lakers conference room, Lakers owner Jerry Buss sat at the head of the round table in the conference room, Tony and Durham sat next to him, and then Jerry West, Jenny Buss, Jim Buss, Del Harris, Mitch Kupchak and other Lakers executives lined up in turn.

The NBA free market opened on July 1, and now it has only been three days, and Tony has received olive branches from several teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, and Indiana Pacers, among which the Philadelphia 76ers are particularly crazy about Toney's pursuit, and they have offered Tony a huge contract of 62.8 million for 5 years, which is undoubtedly a sky-high contract for a sophomore.

The 76ers haven't seen much improvement since drafting small guard Allen Iverson last year, finishing with a dismal 22-60 record.

Originally, they planned to rely on the top pick to sign Tim Duncan to form the future combination of Iverson and Duncan to complete the team's revival, but what they didn't expect was that the Spurs were worse than them, and the Spurs only got a 20-62 record all season, and they naturally picked the top pick to draft Tim Duncan, which made the 76ers' plan fall through.

So the 76ers have no choice but to target the free market.

This year's free agency market isn't as exciting as last year's, and Tony is pretty much the biggest player.

Toney was not interested in signing with the 76ers, and he wanted to turn it down outright, but Tellham stopped him, and Toll told Toney that the 76ers were a very good arrow, and they could use this to negotiate with the Lakers' top management.

The Lakers unsuccessfully freed up a lot of space to chase Shaq last year, and this year there is simply money, and Durham is not worried that the Lakers will not be able to afford that price.
