Chapter 930: The Lakers and Players Who Are Not Bad for Money Renew Their Contracts

The Los Angeles Lakers have been a bit irritable lately, which is hard to see in the playoffs at the end of March and early April, after all, for these teams who don't have to worry about the playoffs and the rankings, it's time to adjust. It is completely unnecessary to play with such emotions at this time.

Of course, the Lakers' irritability will soon disappear, after all, for these professional players, such mental adjustment ability is still available, and when the new month comes, there is also good news for the Los Angeles Lakers.

That is, the Los Angeles Lakers' star player Kobe Bryant won the award of the best player in the West in March, in this case, he has completed the monopoly of all the awards of the month in a single season, of course, although the NBA is now about to end the regular season, but although it is about to end.

But after all, it's not really over yet, so there is still one last one left for the best of the month, but if it is still based on the Lakers' record and Kobe Bryant's own personal performance, it will be easy for him to win all the best players of the month in the West this year, and if this is really the case, there will be no suspense in this season's regular season MVP.

Of course, in addition to Kobe's Player of the Month, Zhuang Fei also won the Best Coach of the Month, and Paul also won this year's Rookie of the Month, similarly, like Kobe Bryant's regular season MVP this year, Zhuang Fei won the fourth best coach trophy of his career this season is basically a sure thing, and Paul's Best Rookie award is a little more difficult than Zhuang Fei and Kobe, and this year's champion Okafor's performance is very good. Plus his former teammate at Wake Forest, Gerard Wallace. There is not much difference between these three people. The competition is fierce.

"Zhuang, I didn't sleep well last night."

Recently, Kupchak is absolutely Zhuang Fei is simply torturing himself, or this guy is too persevering, actually for Scarlett's movie, running on both sides of the team and the crew, although it does not affect Zhuang Fei's work in the Lakers, but there is no doubt that this definitely affects the current sleep of this Chinese. Because early in the morning, the Chinese head coach of the Lakers always couldn't sleep on the table without being able to get up.

"Well, yes, I have to hold on for a while" After hearing Kupchak's words, Zhuang Fei, who was lying on his desk, also raised his head a little lazily and said sleepily, if it wasn't for Kupchak's reminder, he would have almost fallen asleep.

"In this way, it's better not to be too reluctant, pay more attention to your body" Looking at Zhuang Fei, who had lost all his majesty at this time, Kupchak also felt a little funny and said, but after Kupchak finished speaking. Zhuang Fei shook his head slightly with a wry smile.

He had already agreed to Scarlett to play the leading role in her movie, and the movie was determined to be the third part of La Dolce Vita. Then he can't help but be busy, he wants to make a casual cameo appearance in a few scenes like a Lakers player, but who made him the actor? But sometimes he really regrets that he has nothing to do, thinking about filming the fourth part of La Dolce Vita, and it will be good to find a short film script soon? But anyway, since it has come to this time, there is no way back, no matter what it is really too tired, he has been playing at home for a while now, although the Lakers are playing at home, but he can't sleep 4 hours a day.

"By the way, Mitch, what's the matter?" After dispelling his drowsiness a little, Zhuang Fei also looked at the general manager of his team with a smile and asked, and at this time, Kupchak quickly handed over the information in his hand to Zhuang Fei after hearing Zhuang Fei's question.

"This is the list of players who need to renew the contract after the end of this season, after the end of this season, Hardaway, Hill and Webb, Bobby Simmons and Jackson and Wharton all have only one year left on their contracts, this is the contract extension we have drawn up, you see if it is appropriate" After Zhuang Fei took over the report, the general manager of the Lakers also explained.

And Zhuang Fei was also shocked after glancing at this renewal report, the Lakers really don't consider the luxury tax at all, the total salary of the Lakers this season has reached more than 90 million, and now it is only a little worse than the New York Knicks, who have hundreds of millions, if these players are renewed according to the amount on this renewal report, the Lakers' total salary will rise next season, or next season.

After all, judging from this report, Hill, Hardaway and Webb's salaries have not decreased and all of them have increased, basically an average contract of 3 years and 48 million, while Jackson is a 5-year contract extension of 42 million, according to Jackson's market price, the maximum annual salary of signing a five-year long-term contract hovers around 7 million, but the Lakers are willing to give this role player who is currently considered the best in the league an annual salary of more than 8 million. Even Bobby Simmons, who was signed on an exceptional contract last year, was able to earn an average annual salary of 3 million, and more importantly, this is only a preliminary draft, which means that there is room for improvement.

"It's too rich" Zhuang Fei also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead after watching it, although the commercial value of the NBA has soared in the past two years, and it has been recently rumored that after the Los Angeles Lakers' TV broadcast contract ends, the Lakers plan to seek a 10-year TV broadcast contract close to $2.5 billion, it can be said that this team is indeed not bad for money.

"Well, it's just the price, the floating space is 10%, you talk to the player's agent, if you can't talk about it, come to me" Zhuang Fei finally suppressed the shock in his heart, and then handed the report back to Kupchak with a smile, and Kupchak, who re-received Zhuang Fei's order, also nodded, Zhuang Fei's meaning is obvious, he and the player's agent have only 10% bargaining space, but according to the original contract, there is basically no problem, maybe this 10% There is no need for space.

"By the way, Mitch, here are some tickets for this year's NCAA finals, you can take them" Just as Kupchak was about to turn around and leave, Zhuang Fei took out a very delicate small box from his drawer and put it on the table in front of him.

"Tickets to the NCAA finals?" Kupchak was also surprised, and then picked up the box and opened it to see, there was not just one in it, but a stack, this stack had seven or eight, or even ten, so when he opened the box and saw these tickets, Kupchak found that his hands were trembling for a while, these things are priceless things.

"What, Mickey, isn't it too little, if it's too little, you can also take it with you" Zhuang Fei looked at the sluggish appearance of the general manager of his team at this time, and felt a little funny, and then took out a box from his drawer and pushed it in front of Kupchak, and at this time Kupchak directly wanted to faint.

"No, no, these are enough" but suppressing the shock in his heart, the Lakers general manager hurriedly shook his head and said, but although he refused, Zhuang Fei still had no intention of recycling the box.

"These are for Mr. Jeribas, you can send them for me" Finally, seeing Kupchak like this, Zhuang Fei also smiled again and said. And Kupchak was also relieved when he heard this.

This year's NCAA finals, because there is no Wake Forest to participate, so Zhuang Fei received a lot less free tickets this year than last year, in addition to the NCAA league tickets last year, there are also ACC League and Wake Forest free tickets, but this year only the NCAA League and the ACC League sent dozens of tickets to Zhuang Fei, and it is precisely because there is no Wake Forest to participate, so Zhuang Fei has no interest in this year's NCAA finals.

However, Zhuang Fei is not interested, but these people in the Lakers are very interested, so these tickets were all thrown out by Zhuang Fei, and when Zhuang Fei gave Lakers players NCAA finals tickets everywhere in the past two days, the looks on the faces of these Lakers players were not much better than Kupchak, of course, except for a few players who had followed Zhuang Fei before, such as Jackson, he knew that when Wake Forest won the championship last year, the Celtics players got more tickets from Zhuang Fei.

Of course, someone can send so many free tickets, which directly represents Zhuang Fei's status in the NCAA, after all, the current chairman of the NCAA is the principal of Wake Forest, but after getting so many votes, the processing of these tickets has always been a headache for Zhuang Fei, if these tickets with a good position are released, basically there is no problem with buying so many 20,000 US dollars each, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei, who cherishes his reputation very much, is impossible to do such a very useless thing as taking free tickets to buy and sell.

At this time, Zhuang Fei and the Lakers are a little bit more wealthy, and in the area of NCAA finals tickets, no one has Zhuang Fei's wealth.

On April 1, 2005, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Golden State Warriors, which was the 72nd game of the season for the Lakers and the game in which the Lakers could break 70 wins this season.

The Lakers have basically been playing at home for a period of time, so the Lakers players have been in good shape recently, at least this physical state is more than a little bit stronger than the terrifying Eastern trip not long ago, so this game is for the Warriors team, although under the old Nelson's tutelage, they are in good shape now, but it is obviously impossible to compare with the Lakers.

Therefore, there was basically not much suspense in this game from the beginning, the Lakers basically crushed the Warriors from the beginning to the end, and in this offensive battle, the Lakers also defeated the Golden State Warriors 138-116 in the end.

After defeating the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers' record also came to 72 games and 70 wins, and after Phil Jackson, Zhuang Fei became the second head coach in Lakers history to lead the team to break through 70 wins, but obviously, everyone can see that Zhuang Fei's team is not just a goal of 70 wins, and it is basically a matter of time to break Phil Jackson's 74-8 record created by the Lakers.
