Piomberti and a group of executives were confused when they saw this work arrangement.

I thought there would be a dozen or so things about this work arrangement, from the draft to the free market to trades, and training camps or something.

Starting in June and continuing until October, four months is enough time for the team to craft the lineup.

It's been a promising season and morale is high and we all want to help the team go one step further next season.

With the Clippers' current roster, if a heavyweight forward is brought in at the No. 3 position, the team can already compete in the West.

As a result, there are three work arrangements, the first two are related to the draft, and the third is directly on vacation?

It's too early, when is the holiday going to be, is the new season going to begin?

With Olshea and Rosser both gone, Gary Sachs asked carefully, "Mr. Smart, we're just going to give up on the free market signing?" ”

Min Congda said: "Yes, the draft selects people to train well, what else do we want to sign, do we still have space?" ”

"This year's salary cap should shrink, there won't be too much space, but it's still there," Sachs said. Jaric's contract buyout expires, and 7 million salary space is freed up. Then, Camby's contract expired this year, and $10 million of space was released. So, we have $17 million in salary space. If you make some transactions or buy out, you can make up 20 million space, which is enough to sign those big fish in the free market. ”

Min Congda was shocked when he heard this, NND, the Clippers can actually make up $20 million in salary space?

If you do a closer look, Randolph renewed his contract ahead of schedule, so the original salary of $17 million for the next year became $15 million.

Curry is more than 4 million, Davis is 12 million, Gasol Jr. is more than 3 million, Gordon is 2.8 million, Ricky Davis's contract expires, and the remaining corners add up to more than 1 million, and the total salary is 37 million.

The salary cap for next season should be around 57 million, and the Clippers really have 20 million free.

When the time comes, you can sign a rookie contract with a cap, and then use a middle class and two base salaries.

The championship team was armed all at once!

Min Congda's cold sweat was flowing straight down, but fortunately he took Olshea away.

Let him go to China to open up wasteland, if he stays in Los Angeles to operate, he will really fool James at that time.

And then the system doesn't allow him to refuse a reasonable request to sign, isn't that the end?

The traffic and championships are there, the tickets are selling well, the first championship in team history, and the market value has doubled......

In this life, don't want to get more than $300 million in bankruptcy dividends, and eat some dead wages tied to the position of general manager of the Clippers for the rest of your life!

At that time, the team's record is getting better and better, and they will lose more than a dozen games in a season, not to mention that they can't get the salary for losing, and you may not find a chance to scold the referee if you want to.

Then make a little bit of money, and when you win all the way to the playoffs, you will directly win all your money.

The more Min Congda thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more determined he was to give the team a holiday.

He coughed and said, "Everyone has worked hard for a season, and it is time to take a vacation." As for the work of the free market, this year is mainly about filling in the gaps, don't waste too much energy on those big fish, they won't be interested in the Clippers. We still have to focus on the draft and focus on the draft to build our strong Los Angeles Clippers. ”

"I've spent a whole season showing you how important the draft, patience, and long-term vision are, and why are you still obsessed? Always thinking about catching big fish in the free market and picking up ready-made. I tell you, there will be no pie in the sky, you have to give up your illusions and work hard. ”

Speaking of which, everyone looked at Min Congda and thought, you still give us a holiday if you work hard?

Min Congda also felt that it was not quite right, adding: "Comrade Lenin once said that rest is for better work, and those who do not rest will not work. ”

Everyone looked at each other again, blinking at Min Congda, Mr. Smart, this is the United States, why do you still use Lenin's famous words?

Min Congda coughed lightly again and said, "As for me, I was going to give everyone a holiday in July, and by the way, I used part of the money earned by the team last season to give everyone bonuses, at least $10,000 per person, and $50,000 for management." If you don't want to take paid leave and get a bonus, then forget it, work, overtime, no money. ”

When everyone heard Min Congda say this, they got up one after another, walked away, what kind of work are they still on, isn't it fragrant to take the money home to rest.

Before leaving, Piomberti still asked very professionally: "The team's 20 million space must be used up, otherwise it will not reach the bottom line." ”

Min Congda said: "Don't worry, I still don't know this?" I'll be looking at some suitable players and I'll let you know if I need to provide support. ”

Piomberti nodded and left the office, leaving Min Congda alone in a chair.

"Sad, a bonus of 10,000 to 50,000 US dollars per person, just to keep you from working, where can you find such a good general manager? Look at other senior managers, which one doesn't have the money to pay their salaries and bonuses first, millions and hundreds of millions. ”

"As for me, I just give you money, and I don't let you work, my own money can only come from the system, and I can't get the team's money! What a wickedness. ”

"There are still 20 million Lao Tzu who have to spend it, what kind of poor ghost line is there in the NBA, I RNM, is there a poor ghost of 20 million?"

If it weren't for the system limitations, Min Congda really wanted to use the 20 million to sign himself, and his management ability would be worth 20 million annual salary.

But the 20 million is not enough not to be spent, not only to spend but also to spend, filling the salary cap.

In this way, the salary cap will rise in the future, and the salary of the players will also rise, and the luxury tax will be given the opportunity to pay in the future.

The luxury tax is a huge expense, and in addition to paying players excess wages, they also have to pay a huge amount of money to the league.

If you hand over the money, you will hand it over, and there can be no gain.

It is often tens of millions of expenses, how could Min Congda let go of such a costly part.

However, who should be signed in the free market?

This stumped Min Congda.

Popular players like James and Wade are definitely not going to work.

It's not that players who are too bad can't do it, it's not that Min Congda doesn't like it.

It's that you can't give too high a salary, and the system will make a judgment.

After thinking about it, Min Congda decided to open 2K and take a look and select through the game.

"What kind of players do you choose? It's better to find the kind of player who used to have a bit of strength, but was outdated. Or players whose talent has not been realized, the advantage of this is that the strength is not much, but they can be given a relatively high salary. ”

In order to escape the judgment of the system, Min Congda formulated an idea, which is to find balloon stars and potential players whose talents have not been realized.

This type of player often carries the aura of the past, but in fact the strength is not very good, and the price is still inflated.

It is the one that Min Congda wants the most.
