218: The birth of the first highest salary in history!

The Lakers signed a clear-eyed, gentle gorilla to serve as Shay's helper.

Two of Georgetown's greatest players are officially in the NBA.

Mo Ning wanted to shout when he saw it: "I'll make up the head!" ”

In fact, the earliest target of the logo was Morning, but the Hornets' asking price was too high, and in the end, Mourning was taken by the Heat.

Although Mo Ning is short, he is at the peak of his life after all.

A gorilla after a serious injury, even local fans in Los Angeles are not particularly optimistic about him.

However, no matter how sweet a girl is, there will always be a salty place.

No matter how much you don't like a player, there will always be something to shine in.

Although Finley and Ewing are doubtful, they have good personalities.

Logo's signing of Gorilla and Finley at least ensures that the team can avoid a repeat of what happened last season.

With Finley's character, even if his ability rises in the future, he will not fool around.

And Ewing and Shay have an excellent personal relationship, and they have been seriously injured, so they will definitely be Shay's second child willingly.

This Lakers team will definitely not collapse from the inside again!

The lesson of being forced to dismantle the team this time made Logo deeply understand the importance of "sustainable development".

The Lakers' goal is no longer as simple as one or two championships.

If you want to win three consecutive championships, the internal environment must be stable.

Logo doesn't believe it can create a three-in-a-row miracle in modern basketball.

It doesn't have to be the champion itself that kills the champion!

After Ewing is also in place, what Lakers fans are most looking forward to now is undoubtedly Shay's official contract extension with the Lakers.

Barkley is also very concerned about this matter, because to put it bluntly, professional basketball is in this area, which is similar to KTV.

The size of the contract is often directly related to strength.

If you're cheaper than others, you're really not as big as anyone else, or if you're not as good-looking.

It's the same in basketball, especially in this era when there aren't too many rules on contracts. The amount of the contract is sometimes very indicative of a player's position and strength.

However, Fliggy thought that the Lakers should not spend more than 20 million to sign Shay.

Unless Jerry. Buzz got water in his head.

Old pig I will definitely be the highest paid player next season!

Outside, people are also predicting how much the Lakers will give Shay.

Most people's predictions believe that the Lakers will open 20 million after the day.

This is already a guess with the courage to let go.

After all, this year, the annual salary of a basketball player has reached 20 million, which is already an astronomical amount.

If it weren't for the Knicks' active offer, people wouldn't even dare to think in the direction of 20 million.

There are different opinions about the size of Shay's contract.

No one knows what kind of contract Shay will eventually sign.

And actually

Even Shay himself didn't know how big his next contract would be.

Falck's negotiation strategy this time was to listen passively, rather than actively bidding.

There is a disadvantage of active bidding, that is, it is possible to pay a lower price than the boss's psychological expectations.

For example, Old Bass was originally going to sign Shay for 22 million, but Falck himself quoted 20 million.

Isn't that a big loss?

Therefore, Falck has not talked to the old Bass about the specific contract amount.

He simply told Bass: "I'm sure you'll come up with a fair price." ”

Falck will take Shay directly to sign the contract on the day of the signing, and when the time comes, in order to win Shay steadily, Bas will definitely take out the highest value of his psychological expectations!

This move is really wonderful to retreat into advance.

In this way, when Shay arrived at the old Bass office, the old Bass was actually very nervous.

He originally wanted to throw a check to Shay, and then handsomely threw down a sentence: "Fill it out!" ”

But on second thought, if Shay wrote too much and couldn't afford to pay for it, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

So, Old Bass still gave a specific offer.

In order to win 100% of Shay, he did raise the offer to the maximum he could afford.

Meanwhile, major sports channels are awaiting news of Shay's signing with the Lakers.

Directly opened a number of live programs for this purpose.

As soon as Shay signs with the Lakers, reporters will immediately send the news back to the station.

Then the TV station immediately told the fans the results.

Even the signing was broadcast live, which shows how influential Shay is in the basketball world at this time.

Although Shay failed to hit the third consecutive championship last season, it is undeniable that he is already a player who can compete with Jordan in terms of traffic!

Bill. Simmons was invited by ESPN to participate in a live show to make a prediction on the amount of contract extensions between Shay and the Lakers.

Simmons feels that Shay's signing for 18 million a year is the most likely.

"How is it possible to open to 20 million? The Lakers are also not charities.

Besides, Shay is not worth 20 million.

If Shay really created the miracle of three consecutive championships last season, then not to mention 20 million, it is worth 25 million.

But Shay's defeat last season has proven that he is not as strong as everyone thinks.

Therefore, his new contract will never exceed 20 million.

Of course, as I said before, Shay will probably end up fleeing Los Angeles under the pretext of 'money'.

One Finley and one Ewing can't keep Shay. ”

At the same time, inside the office of Old Bass.

Jenny and her dad sat across from Shea, nervous.

Yesterday, old Bas solemnly told Jenny: "My dear, this time the situation is grim. I'm afraid, I'll have to give something more. ”

Jenny was shocked at the time, Dad, you are not going to add an additional clause to the contract.

Give Shay me too!?

All right!

Ah no, don't~

But. For the sake of our family business, why not sacrifice the little girl?

Old Bas looked at the shrewd Falck and the Shay of his dreams, took a deep breath, and directly compared three fingers straight to the point: "This is my greatest capacity!" ”

Falck leaned into Shay's ear:

"23 million, I think it's about the same, after all, they are all directly given with a full salary cap!

Anyway, as long as it exceeds 20 million, even if it creates history, it can create a lot of gimmicks. Just take advantage of this time to release new shoes, and we can still make a lot of money! ”

When Shay heard it, hey, you're really a zebra head, and you say it right.

Shay also knows that 23 million in this era is already quite respectful of his own offer.

After all, the highest salary in the NBA in 2008 was only 23 million.

Old Bass panicked when he saw that Shay and Falk did not directly agree, but discussed something one after another.

It's over, it won't be less, right?

So Old Bass hurriedly interjected: "Shay, in fact, I have a dream like Ling, which is to let the Lakers build a three-in-a-row championship dynasty!" ”

Falck knew that Buzz was playing the emotional card, probably trying to bargain, so he helped Shay answer: "This dream is still a bit difficult technically. ”

"I know it's difficult, so I'm willing to renew Shay's contract for 30 million, which is directly higher than the market value of 10 million! I just want to prove that I'm determined to overcome this with Shay! ”

When Shay and Falck heard this, they were dumbfounded.

Isn't it 23 million to hold three fingers together!?

30 million!

What is the concept of 30 million annual salary?

It will have to wait until 2014 for the NBA to have a player's salary exceeding 30 million!

It was not until 2018 that the annual salary of 30 million began to gradually normalize.

Shay is equivalent to twenty years ahead of schedule and got a contract with the highest salary that surpasses the entire era!

That's right, in the original history, Jordan also received an annual salary of 30 million in the 90s.

But you have to know that when Jordan got 30 million, he was already the undisputed first person in the league.

And Shay, when he hadn't achieved such a high achievement, Old Bass directly opened 30 million!

When Falck heard this, he immediately pretended to be calm and changed his words: "It's not about money, Dr. Bass. Me and Shay, we mostly respect the same dream! There is nothing else in my heart, it is three consecutive championships, a big career! ”

When Old Bas heard this, he smiled from ear to ear: "So, did you agree?" ”

"Of course, although it is a little different from what was expected. But Shay told me that non-Lakers don't sign. ”

Old Bass hurriedly handed over the contract, and Falck hurriedly took out his pen.

They all want to fight quickly, and they are afraid that the other party will regret it!

However, before signing the contract, Falck made an additional request.

He promised Shay a four-year contract with the Lakers, in fact, for twenty years.

Because of the second year of his contract, Falke asked for a player option.

It is equivalent to signing every year, and Shay can jump out of the contract at any time.

The purpose of this is not to run away, but to allow the Lakers to have salary space to strengthen every year.

Shay's 30 million has directly exceeded the sum of the salary cap.

If you sign a multi-year contract at a time, it means that the Lakers can't do anything on the free market for all these years.

But if the player is given the option, Shay can jump out of his contract every summer and then renew it with the Bird Clause when the reinforcement is over.

So repeatedly, Shay can make money, and the Lakers will not be directly locked by Shay.

Falck was well aware that salary was only part of Shay's way of getting money.

Shay still wants to win more championships, so that his status and fame will be greater, and his commercial value will be higher.

If Shay's status and commercial value can be used to make his fashion brand completely successful, then the 30 million is worth a plate of fruit!

Of course, if Shay's form dips due to injury, he can also choose to continue with the rest of his contract.

After all, the right to jump out of the contract is in Shay's hands.

Don't worry about being unwanted after jumping out of the contract.

Old Bass didn't think much of it, and immediately agreed to this request.

Now as long as Shay's record and box office guarantee can be stabilized, Old Bass is willing to do anything.

Although the Bullets previously gave Webb the option to play the player the following year, causing Webb to leave the following year.

But old Buss doesn't have to worry about this problem, because Shay can only get an annual salary of 30 million if he renews his contract with the Lakers with bird rights.

If he jumped out of the contract and joined another team, the other team would not have Shay's bird rights, and it would naturally be impossible to give Shay more than the entire salary cap.

After adding the player option clause, the two parties signed the four-year contract worth 120 million Daole.

Although it is essentially signed every year, it is more face-saving to publicize the contract of 100 million yuan~

Watching Shay finish signing, Old Bass let out a big sigh.

Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep.

But watching Shay sign it, Aunt Jenny's eyes were full of tears.

No

That's it?

That's it?

Shay, don't you have anything more than that?

You don't fight the boss's daughter's idea at all!

Shay: You may be mistaken, I'm a close man, how can I make such an impudent request?

After signing the contract, Buzz shook hands and hugged Shay.

Old Buss looked at the two championship trophies won by the Lakers in the 90s in his office, and suddenly was full of ambition:

"Shay, with you, I believe the 90s belong to us! By the way, what are the technical difficulties we just said about the triple championship? ”

Shay waved his hand: "Technical problems, it's not impossible to overcome!" ”

Then, Buzz and Shay pushed open the office door and walked out together with their arms around each other's shoulders.

The moment I walked out, there was a lot of glitter outside.

Reporters waited outside their offices early, all waiting for the first-hand news of the Lakers and Shay's contract extension.

On major sports channels, there are also real-time pictures of Shay and Old Bass.

Seeing that the two entered the intimate room, they knew that the renewal of the contract must have been negotiated.

Now the question is, how big is the contract amount.

Although Old Bass had just spent money and his heart was dripping blood, at this moment, he was extremely proud:

"Fans in Los Angeles don't have to worry because Shay has agreed to a four-year contract with us!"

Hearing this, Lakers fans cheered.

This is the first positive news for the Lakers in the free agent market this year!

But how can this little bit of information satisfy everyone's curiosity? So a reporter immediately asked: "Dr. Bass, can you tell me the specific amount of the contract?" ”

Old Bussbeet stuck out a finger.

Inside the studio, Bill. Simmons laughed directly: "Poof! It seems that we all overestimated Shay, he and the Lakers actually only signed 10 million a year! Laughing to death, and saying that it made our jaws drop, and that's it? ”

Barkley, who was watching the live broadcast, also smiled, Shay is still not as valuable as an old pig~

Isn't it clear which is stronger and which is weak?

Pippen continues to cry without tears, your lower limit is already an upper limit that I can't reach!

One Yi is equal to five skins, and it's also embarrassing, okay!

The reporter looked at the gesture of the old Bass and carefully confirmed: "10 million a year? ”

Old Bass shook his head: "No, no, no, I mean, a small target. We reached a contract with Shay for the largest contract in the history of .4 years and 120 million knife music! Shay is worth the price, he's the best player in the world! ”

As soon as Old Bass said this, the whole basketball world was shaken!

Inside the studio, Bill. Simmons' smile froze completely, and his jaw was about to dislocate.

He looked at his live broadcast partner with a confused expression: "Just now. Is Dr. Bass talking about one? Not ten million!? ”

Simmons covered his face, feeling the pain in his face.

Once again, Shay completely exceeded his expectations!

The doughnut in Buckley's hand also fell to the ground, and the whole pig was completely petrified.

He lifted the pig's trotters and calculated, 120 million in 4 years, which means that it is 30 million a year!?

30 million a year!? What an international joke!?

originally thought that 20 million would be the sky, but the Lakers actually added another 10 million on the basis of the ceiling!?

Shay He. Is it worth that much!?

Barkley's "highest salary in history" has only been a few days before he was blown up into scum by Shay!

Pippen was in a cold sweat, one Yi is not equal to five skins, but a special one is equal to fifteen skins!

That's enough to wrap a dumpling!

Mo Ning also paid attention to the news of Shay's signing, and he must be concerned about signing the contract.

So while watching the live broadcast, he also sent a text message to Shay: "Notify my dad when the contract is signed, and my dad will help you see if you have lost anything." ”

As a result, after seeing Shay's contract amount, Mo Ning swallowed his saliva and hurriedly sent another text message: "Xiao Mo has been floating for half his life, and he only hates that he has not met the master." If the public does not give up, Xiao Mo is willing to worship Ning as his father-in-law! ”

At this moment, it's not just Simmons, Barkley, Pippen and Mourning.

Fans all over the world who are watching this signing are stupefied!

The salary cap is a total of 23 million, and as a result, Shay's salary alone is 30 million!

This.

This also means that next season, Shay's worth alone may be higher than the combined value of a whole team of some teams!

Director Zhang shouted, this contract is very unreasonable, but it has to be signed like this!

Sure enough, as Shay said before: "When I officially renew my contract with the Lakers, everyone's jaws will drop!" ”

Shay Cheng does not deceive the public!

Whether you accept it or not, you must be extremely shocked by now!

No matter how much you belittle Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can get the highest salary in history! You're not angry!

Being the highest-paid player in history is a great thing to behold, but again, it's a lot of pressure.

If Shay doesn't play well next season, or the Lakers don't live up to expectations.

Then Shay will definitely be reviled by words.

The inflated value is a very shameful thing in sports circles.

Players will be labelled as "incompetent" and bosses will be labelled as "big wrongs".

Everyone is embarrassed.

Actually, Bill. Simmons is already complaining: "This is definitely the stupidest contract extension in NBA history!" As long as Shay can't lead the team to win the championship, then this contract renewal will be a failure! ”

He was madly slapped in the face by Shay again, and he became angry and began to go crazy with the rhythm.

Bill. Simmons feels that the current Lakers' lineup is not comparable to the previous two consecutive championship periods.

The madman was replaced by a rookie who didn't know if he could play.

Fliggy, who is in the top five of the perennial MVP rankings, was replaced by Ewing, who is already half-disabled.

And McMillan, Dale. Role players such as Curry, A.C. Green and Sam Perkins are also getting older and have entered a period of decline.

Even the newly signed Ricky. Pierce is already a veteran.

How can such a Laker win the championship?

This season, the Lakers' failure is doomed!

For a while, Old Bass seemed to have become the biggest wrongdoer before Boss Cai.

But Shay doesn't think so.

His teammates may have really gotten a little weaker, but Shay himself is getting stronger!

This offseason, he's sure to get a boost through training.

And after this upgrade.

Shay is in the middle distance, and he should finally be able to put on a decent performance!

Don't worry, wait a little longer, and Shay will tell everyone.

30 million, worth it!
