Chapter 216: Buying a House and Training Hall Report
After winning the Asian Cup, Wang Feng did not return to China, but flew directly to Los Angeles.
This signing is different from the previous Cavaliers, a four-year long contract, basically confirming that Wang Feng will stay in Los Angeles for at least three years, so he has to find himself a place to live, not renting a house but buying a mansion, and use the remaining time to complete his weight gain and other training.
The problem of residence is not a problem for Wang Feng's current financial resources.
There is Bill. Duffy, a famous American agent, can really save a lot of things, including buying a house and looking at a house, Wang Feng just said his needs, and the other party quickly helped him find a good house, located across the street from the Staples Center Arena, about 400 square meters of penthouse, worth 5 million US dollars.
Speaking of which, Wang Feng has seen this apartment on the news before, it is Kehuai. The set that Leonard bought after joining the Clippers, Leonard spent 6.72 million when he bought it in December 2019.
I didn't expect it to be two years earlier, plus Bill. Duffy's interpersonal relationship, Wang Feng only used five million dollars to win.
Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a little funny, he signed a contract with the Lakers, took the road of James first, and now bought Leonard's house in advance, does this count as taking someone else's way, living in someone else's house, and making others homeless?
Of course, this is a joke, with Leonard's worth, how can he not afford to buy a house? Besides, Wang Feng paid for it, and this is his house.
Five million US dollars, that is, more than 30 million Chinese dollars, is no longer an astronomical amount for the current Wang Feng.
Last season, his salary with the Cavaliers was 18 million US dollars, deducting various taxes, and it was close to 12 million, and Wang Feng's commercial endorsements in China are even more numerous, all of which are well organized under the care of the Dream Team team, which can bring Wang Feng more than 80 million Chinese dollars per year, which is still because Wang Feng basically only accepts domestic commercial endorsements, and has not received foreign commercial endorsements, otherwise the endorsement fee will be higher.
He is now a real rich man, coming to Los Angeles, the center of the national entertainment industry, the commercial value will rise even further, and the Lakers' maximum salary and his annual salary in the first year of his contract can reach $28 million.
The money has been earned, and of course enjoy it.
Wang Feng chose to buy a house in this location mainly because it is only one street away from Staples Arena, so he doesn't need to worry about the traffic congestion every time the team has a game.
signed the contract to pay, and Wang Feng's first mansion in his life was bought in this way.
……
After the housing problem was settled, Wang Feng went to the Lakers' training hall.
Coincidentally, not long ago, the Lakers' newly completed training venue, the UCLA Health Center, was officially put into use, with all the supporting facilities, all of which are brand new, and the gap between them and the Cleveland arena is extremely obvious.
"Big city is really fragrant ......"
No, it should be a wealthy family.
Although it is now the offseason, the training hall that has been put into use already has players doing daily training.
After Wang Feng came to the arena, the first thing he saw was the Lakers player Jordan who was running to adapt to the new training hall. Clarkson.
Seeing Wang Feng, Clarkson took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello Wang, I'm Clarkson, it's so cool that you announced that you're joining the Lakers in the summer, and I can't wait to play with you!"
Clarkson appeared enthusiastic.
This is normal.
The Lakers signed Wang Feng with a 4-year 118 million sky-high contract, the intention is very obvious, they want Wang Feng to become the leader of the Lakers and a star!
As a rookie in the same year as Wang Feng, Clarkson has been with the Lakers for three years, serving as the team's main bench rotation role.
Last season, he played a full full game in 82 games, including 19 starts, and averaged 14.7 points, 3 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.2 minutes per game.
Next year will be Clarkson's contract year, and if he wants to get a good offer, he will definitely have to play better stats, so it is important to build a good relationship with Wang Feng, a player destined to become the core of the Lakers.
"Hello."
Wang Feng shook hands with him and nodded slightly.
It's not just Clarkson, it's only early September, more than a month before the start of the preseason, and many players are still on vacation, and most of the players who train in the Lakers' arena are some rookie players who have just been drafted by the team and players who have just been traded and want to get familiar with the stadium.
For example, Kyle, who was drafted with the 27th pick in the first round. Kuzma, the 30th pick in the first round, was drafted Josh. Hart.
and center Brooke, who was traded from the Nets early on June 21. Lopez.
Wang Feng's annual salary of $28 million is well-deserved first in the Lakers, and the second highest salary in the Lakers is Brook. López too.
Last season, Brooke. Lopez still averages 20.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game for the Nets, and although his ability to protect the rim is not very good, his scoring ability as a center is remarkable.
However, in another time and space, with the addition of Lopez to the Lakers, his personal data began to drop significantly, from 20.5 points last season to 13 points, and in the following seasons between the Lakers and the Bucks, the average points per game was only about 12 points.
In the 2020-2021 season, Lopez won the championship trophy with his brother Antetokounmpo as the starting center of the Bucks, which was the highlight of his career.
The reason why the Lakers chose to trade Mozgov, who signed Mozgov for 15 years, in exchange for Lopez, is not because of his average of 20.5 points per game and excellent status offensive skills, but because Lopez's 22 million big contract will expire next year, when the Lakers can free up a huge amount of salary space, and can pursue a top star in the free market and form a duo partner with Wang Feng.
"This matter has to be written down, and when Lopez's contract expires, the Lakers can sign him with a mid-level contract, although this guy is not worth 20 million, but if it is five or six million, it must be worth the money."
The players present basically took the initiative to greet Wang Feng after seeing Wang Feng, and they behaved quite friendly.
But there is only one player, as if he didn't see Wang Feng, who has always practiced shooting on the court by himself.
This rather unusual behavior immediately made Wang Feng notice the other party.
That was last season, the second-round pick in the first round of the NBA Draft, Brandon, who is regarded by the Lakers as the cornerstone of the team. Ingram.
