In the end, until Chen Jiyuan left, Iguodala did not give a clear answer. There is no way to do it, this kind of thing that is related to your own vital interests in the next few years is not so simple to make a decision.

Chen Jiyuan also knew that such a thing could not be too persecuted, so after saying those words, Chen Jiyuan got up and said: "Andre, I hope you can believe me, I can swear in the name of God, I really want to be teammates with you, that's why I said these words." ”

After Chen Jiyuan stood up, Iguodala also stood up. Iguodala and Chen Jiyuan hugged each other, and then Iguodala said: "I think, I need to think about it, your construction is really a bit unbelievable, so, I need some time to accept, and I will call you later." ”

Chen Jiyuan nodded. Understood.

After Iguodala and Latin shook hands, Latin and Chen Jiyuan left.

This conversation, for Chen Jiyuan, was not a success, but it was not a failure either, mainly because Iguodala's refusal seemed to be very firm.

It seems that the intention of getting Iguodala this season is doomed. Originally, I chose Lefou. Chen Jiyuan also proposed to use David Lee and other chips to trade with Philadelphia, but soon, the Philadelphia side decided. The main reason for this is that the Philadelphia 76ers and Clippers captain Elton Brand have reached an agreement. Elton Brand's arrival is almost a foregone conclusion, unless captain Elton Brand does something like Carlos Boozer did to break his verbal agreement. But Brand didn't have a reason to do that. Philadelphia is offering Brand a five-year, $82 million contract with a maximum salary. The owner of the Clippers is really too Nima. This is the reason why the Clippers have been in the best for so many years. That's why Los Angeles is mentioned, and the team that everyone knows is the Lakers. No one thinks of the Clippers before the Lakers when they think of Los Angeles. It's because of this boss who hangs the sky.

Brand's verbal agreement made the 76ers completely abandon the idea of trading with the Knicks. Although David Lee is a good player, he is still a little worse than the long-established captain.

David Lee's scoring ability is still a little inferior to Captain Brand. The 76ers don't plan to rebuild. And since Iverson left, for so many years, the Philadelphia 76ers have never been completely pushed to rebuild. For this reason, they missed out on a number of superstars such as Kevin Durant, Westbrook, Derrick Rose, etc., until later, they found that they really couldn't win a championship without tearing down and rebuilding. At this time, the 76ers sent everyone away, leaving behind rookies and draft picks. The 76ers have no plans to rebuild, and for them, Brand, who has matured, is obviously a better fit for the current 76ers than David Lee, who is still growing.

Chen Jiyuan, who did not achieve his goal, and the one who came left in the afternoon of the same day.

Here, Chen Jiyuan felt that this matter was over, but some people didn't think so. For example, Philadelphia 76ers' newly appointed general manager Stefansky, Stefansky has just become the general manager of the 76ers. The heel is not fully established. However, when the news of Brand joining Philadelphia 76 was revealed, Stefansky believed that he would be praised by everyone. However, until then, you can't let your team's backcourt core have any problems. Otherwise, if the frontcourt players of their team have just been improved, and the backcourt players have lost a big general, then the strength will not have made great progress. Then all the hard work before and after running before and after is in vain. Therefore, there must be no problems with Iguodala's contract renewal. Could it be that Iguodala is not satisfied with the price? Or was it the Knicks who unilaterally wanted to poach Iguodala and Iguodala refused? What the hell is going on, it looks like it's necessary to talk to Iguodala. The fastest and most stable update dìng)

Iguodala, Elton Brand, this is my brainchild for next season, so we can't go wrong. Stfansky told himself a thousand times in his heart.

Time passed quickly, and when it came to July 10th, the 76ers officially announced the signing of Elton Britney, and at the signing conference, Stefansky had a smile on his face, "It's very exciting to sign a talented player like Brand," Stefansky said, "We are convinced that his talent, physicality, experience and leadership will make our team better and better." He will soon integrate into our new team and he will be an integral part of our team for years to come. ”

Indeed, signing Brand would make Stefansky's life in Philadelphia better. And now, as long as Iguodala can continue to get a contract extension, Stefansky believes that he can fully establish himself in Philadelphia.

Therefore, after completing Brand's contract extension, Stefinsky immediately called Iguodala, hoping to meet and complete the contract renewal as much as possible.

Iguodala rejected an early contract extension from the Philadelphia 76ers last season, and this year, the first thing St Vannes did after taking over was to have a long and detailed conversation with Iguodala. It's to keep Iguodala in Philadelphia. Originally, Iguodala's words revealed this meaning, as long as you value me, I will renew the contract, what is valued, that is, the contract given can reach Iguodala's psychological price. And, Stefansky knew that Iguodala wouldn't have a high price in mind. After all, Iguodala didn't fully show the superstar demeanor of a dominant superstar in his rookie seasons, so it is impossible for Howard's super contract last season to fall on Iguodala, so what Iguodala is fighting for is just a contract as big as possible.

However, this was all before, and now the situation is a little unexpected, the damn New Yorker, it's them, especially that Latin, that bastard, it's his arrival, and the whole thing is now in Stefansky's heart. I'm worried that the crazy people in New York will give me some unreasonable contract, and in this case, Philadelphia will pay more if they want to keep Iguodala. Such a thing is not a good thing for Stefinsky.

The meeting with Iguodala was still very fast. After Iguodala's training in Los Angeles, he returned to Philadelphia to enjoy the vacation. Although Iguodala's contract has not yet been completed, Iguodala's agent, Rob Pelinka, has already sued Iguodala, don't worry, he will solve the contract extension with the 76ers.

In fact, it was indeed settled, and Pelinka told Iguodala that this meeting was mainly to discuss the details of the contract. As long as you finalize these things, I think you'll be able to renew your contract with the Philadelphia 76ers in no time. We've had enough time to delay, and the fact that Latin went to you before gave us the leverage to raise the price. Now, the initiative is on our side.

Iguodala also knows these things, and the contract renewal is a sure thing, and in the previous conversations, Iguodala's intention to express Xiàn is also inclined to renew his contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Therefore, the worries generated by Stefansky are completely unnecessary, and there is no way to do it, the more important things people do, the more cautious they will be, and the more they will have too many unnecessary worries and illusions.

After meeting, Iguodala and Pelinka did not have too strong words, but they did not talk about the contract renewal, and Pelinka, who had the initiative, knew that at this time, they had to wait, wait, and wait until Stefinsky could not wait. In this way, they will have an advantage in the following talks.

However, it was clear that Stefansky had no intention of taking the initiative in this conversation, so it was very refreshing to talk about the renewal of his contract shortly after the conversation began.

With this in mind, Stfansky and Iguodala decided to let the fish go unchecked in this conversation.

And when Iguodala offered to sign a three-year contract, Stfansky only gave it a little thought and agreed.

Stefansky would not be surprised that Iguodala would make such a request, but he would be unhappy, but this slight unhappiness would not be reflected on his face at all. Even veterans like Pelinka can't see Stfansky's upset. There is no way, it can only be said that Stfansky is too well hidden.

Stefinsky is not surprised because there were several precedents not so long ago. The county precedents are LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Both of them signed three-year contracts with their parent clubs after their rookie contracts ended. That's why LeBron James was a full free agent when he left. Because James signed all short contracts. There is no such thing as a long-term contract of 6 years.

Iguodala's request had already been mentioned to Pelinka on the way here. So Pelinka doesn't find it strange now. Although Pelinka actually disagrees with this. Because for an agent, the longer the contract that can bring his players, the better. Three years is obviously not a long contract. But that doesn't matter. Anyway, the renewal is almost complete.

After the contract becomes three years, then many things need to be changed. The biggest change is the total number of contracts. Regarding this number, Iguodala did not ask for any excessive balls, although today's Stefansky is obviously soft, but at this time, it is not good for both sides to propose any impossible number, after all, Iguodala still wants to play in the 76ers.

In the end, after negotiations between the two sides, the number was set at 38 million. This is for the 6-year 82 million mentioned before, the money will be more in three years, but there is no guarantee of a long-term contract, that is, if Iguodala has not played a superstar-level game in the past three years, then the renewal of the next contract will obviously not increase in price, and it will even be lower than the previous price. Now Iguodala is the first year. Therefore, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Under this contract, Iguodala has an average annual salary of $12.5 million for three years. In the previous contract, Iguodala's salary for the first three years was a total of $35.8 million, or about $11.9 million per year. Every year, he will earn 600,000 US dollars less, that is, 4.66 million yuan. Generally speaking, Chinese win a 5 million jackpot, and after paying taxes, they don't get this money. Therefore, this contract can still help Iguodala make a lot of money, of course, provided that Iguodala can maintain this competitive form in the future, and then after this contract ends, he can renew a contract like this, which is really profitable.

However, Chen Jiyuan's original plan was only to let Iguodala leave the Philadelphia 76ers as soon as possible, so he would let Iguodala have such a contract, because if he did this, after three years, after Philadelphia found out that Iguodala was not the leader's material, he would not give Iguodala a top salary, which means that he would be in a situation of semi-giving up Iguodala. In that case, the Knicks will have a chance to take advantage of it, and even, Chen Jiyuan feels that the Knicks at that time will definitely get Iguodala, because the Knicks at that time Chen Jiyuan is confident that it will become a strong team, and Iguodala has no reason to refuse if he gives Iguodala a good contract. Originally, this was Chen Jiyuan's idea, and Chen Jiyuan also felt that this was a way to kill two birds with one stone. On the plane, I was still proud.

However, what Chen Jiyuan didn't expect was that because of this change, the continuous changes that occurred, even Iguodala didn't expect that just because of such a small three-year contract, just because he proposed this three-year contract, it made General Manager Stefansky have a little opinion about himself. And the root cause of this little opinion is that Stefinsky has just come to Philadelphia to work, and at this time, Iguodala made a different request, which is nothing, but Stfansky is a person who loves to think a lot, then, at this time, it is a problem, and Stfansky will have such a seed planted in his heart - this thing has an opinion about me. Is it provoking me?

Although it is only a seed now, sooner or later, after going through various things, this seed will sprout, grow, and eventually, it will become a towering tree, and perhaps, before the day it becomes a towering tree, the two people have been separated. This is a consequence that Chen Jiyuan never thought of. Iguodala had no idea that such a thing would happen. All kinds of coincidences collided together, leading to the occurrence of the current situation. It can also be said that God sent Stefinsky to send Iguodala to Chen Jiyuan.

Here, after Chen Jiyuan flew back to New York, he started practicing in New York, and on the other side, Latin began to look for a coach. Latin went out of his way to talk to each other one by one. Mainly because Latin's age is relatively young, and Latina also knows that this is his strength, but at the same time his own disadvantage. All you have to do is use your strengths and cover up your weaknesses. So, at this time, Latina must not stay in New York. You have to go to the door in person, otherwise, Latin, a junior, will be said to be a big guy. In that case, it will be very detrimental to the recruitment work and the search for the manager in the future.

When Latin was looking for a coach everywhere, Chen Jiyuan also knew about Iguodala's signing work, and after knowing that Iguodala chose this three-year contract, Chen Jiyuan was very happy. I happily called Iguodala, and before Iguodala could speak, he said, "Hey, Andrey, thank you, brother, I'm going to let you know one thing, you made the right decision today." Believe me. Ha ha. ”

Chen Jiyuan was excited, but a woman's voice came from the other side, and she said weakly: "I'm sorry, please wait a minute." ”

Then, Chen Jiyuan heard the sentence coming from the microphone: "Andre, someone is looking for you." ”

Chen Jiyuan's head is full of black lines, this Nima is really coincidental. Depend on.

After a while, Chen Jiyuan heard Iguodala's voice, and Iguodala said, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Jiyuan had to repeat what he had just said: "Andre, thank you for believing in me, I will not let you down, I will let you know how correct your decision is today." ”

Iguodala smiled and said, "I hope so, too." After all, it's a six-year contract, so how can you not feel distressed. ”

Chen Jiyuan also knows that for a player, there is nothing better than a long-term contract. This kind of stable and high contract is exactly what all players are looking for.

However, Chen is confident that he can get Iguodala to get a better return than this contract. The reward is not just about money, it's about winning championships, and it's about what Iguodala wants.

If you want to talk about Iguodala's wishes, in fact, Iguodala has never said that he is suitable to be a leader, Iguodala has been treated very well in the 76ers, as the boss, who doesn't like it, all kinds of privileges, and tactics are all set for themselves.

Soon, however, Iguodala will feel tired, and Iguodala has never said that he wants to be a superstar like James, Kobe, and Wade, and that is not the right basketball path for him. Iguodala thought so, and then did so, gradually, in the team, Iguodala began to organize more, began to put more energy on defense, but the 76ers wanted Iguodala to be a leader, a leader who can change the shape of the court with scoring, not a second-in-command.
