Chapter 241: The Boxer (Fourth Shift)
After negotiating the signing of Milicic, Min returned to Los Angeles alone.
He suddenly felt worthless for himself, why did he give the whole team a holiday, and he was still busy working?
The phone calls were made one after another, flying by plane, running long distances, racking their brains to calculate their salaries.
As a result, he didn't have a penny of his own salary, and the Clippers employees also took paid leave!
If you choose the worst manager, Min Congda will definitely not run.
Fortunately, Min Congda was very satisfied with the two signings and found his favorite bad player.
Although Bonner and Milicic are both insiders, they are not in line with Min Congda's previous strategy.
But both men are white, and there are too few that can be played on the inside line of the white people in the league.
Their previous experience also proves that just like that, the two contracts are at a premium.
Coupled with the arrival of the alliance's fine of 500,000 yuan, Min Congda's personal financial situation was much fuller at once.
His income is after tax, according to the federal and state tax rates in the United States.
With an after-tax income of $500,000, it is almost one million before taxes.
So this is a very considerable bonus, which makes Min Congda full of motivation to work.
The other piece of good news is that by July 14, the Clippers' two-week vacation will be over.
The employees are finally coming back to work and helping Min Congda carry the burden on his shoulders.
On the day of work, the Clippers almost returned to work with a sense of impatience.
People from all departments came to the team's headquarters at the Staples Center early in the morning.
I didn't go to work for two weeks, my salary was still paid, and the team could still operate.
What does it mean? It shows that without them, in fact, the Clippers can play very well, maybe even better.
After the holiday, Min Congda held a senior management meeting to inform everyone of the team's signing decision during this time.
In fact, everyone has already received the news, the alliance is such a circle, and no one knows whom.
There is naturally a lot of opinion about signing Bonner and Milicic or two four-year contracts with such a large amount.
They all thought that this would definitely become two stinking and long garbage contracts, and they couldn't wait to clean it up in two years.
But the prestige that Min Congda accumulated last season caused no one to dare to oppose him.
So, the two signings went through, and Rosser and the people in the legal department began to prepare the contracts.
The two signings seem simple, but in fact, they have to pick people one by one, and there is room for careful calculation of salary.
It was very difficult to keep talking on the phone, and even going to people's homes to talk.
Min felt that his lower-average intelligence had reached the limit of his work.
Let him complete any more transactions, this and that, he can't bear it.
So, he handed over the rest of the roster adjustment to Sax.
"I have a few requirements, the first one, try to fill the salary space and exceed the salary cap. The second, the middle class to Ricky Davis, the contract is drawn up as soon as possible. Third, if there is a deal, small repairs and small repairs are the mainstay, don't think about big deals, stability first, stability first! ”
After emphasizing these events, on July 15, the Clippers held a signing ceremony in the press room of Staples Center.
The Clippers welcomed four new members, Matt Bonner at No. 15, Milicic at No. 31, Bledsoe at No. 12, and James Harden at No. 13.
Among these four people, the most relaxed and indifferent person is Bledsoe.
As a rookie, he is full of yearning for the NBA, no matter which team it is, as long as he can play, he is getting started anyway.
The man with the most mixed feelings is James Harden, who feels the impermanence of the NBA.
He played well in his rookie season with the Thunder, and he also had a good relationship with Durant and Westbrook.
Presti even said that he would train himself well, and he would sell him to Los Angeles.
Fortunately, Harden himself was born and raised in Los Angeles, so it would be great to be able to return to Los Angeles.
When it comes to the number of nightclubs and the quality of the girls, Los Angeles has no one on the West Coast.
The person in the best mood was Matt Bonner, who came to Los Angeles and went to see the house first.
found that the housing prices here are really at the bottom, which is very suitable for buying the bottom, and he will definitely be able to make a fortune in the future.
At the moment, he has set his eye on an apartment that is easily accessible between the Staples Centre and the Training Centre.
It's very convenient to play at home and go to training, and he's heard that the Clippers are very good.
The players have transportation subsidies, food subsidies, and soda drinks in the training center are free to take without coins.
If you drive to work, the team will also give you a fuel subsidy, so don't be too intimate.
In comparison, the Spurs have picked a lot of doors, and what can be saved is somewhat unpleasant.
He also heard from employees that the general manager of Smart was very generous and paid everyone for holidays and salaries.
This kind of general manager and living environment is exactly what Banner dreams of.
I just don't know what the atmosphere of the team is, but it would be perfect if it could be better.
And the most tense and contradictory mood is naturally Milicic.
What worries him the most is that at the signing ceremony, another reporter asks what is expected of him.
He was afraid that those promises, those promises, would be the stabbing knife against him in the future.
After showing the jersey, in the reporter's question session, someone asked:
"Mr. Smart, you signed Milicic for 4 years and 35 million, what do you expect from him? Do you think he can give full play to the potential of the 2003 Eye Show? ”
The question is distinctly thorny.
The Los Angeles media did not understand Min Congda's summer operation and made a lot of criticism.
First of all, Gordon traded for Harden, exchanged a certainty for an uncertaintie, and got rid of the No. 2 defender who played well in the playoffs.
Most people think it's a very bad choice, and it's incomprehensible.
As for winning Bonner and Milicic, it is even more bad.
Two white insiders, the Clippers inside line was already slow.
Now there are two more slow guys, for fear that others will not be able to break through, right?
Milicic has scratched this kind of lottery many times, and it has been proven to be a "thank you for your patronage" lottery ticket.
You spend millions to buy it and try it, 35 million in 4 years, you want to be crazy?
It's better to keep the old Camby, at least Camby can still contribute 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game when he starts.
Very good data, Min Congda actually let him go and let the knights take Camby.
When Milicic heard this, his whole body began to get nervous.
He was afraid that Min Congda would publicly say that he had high expectations of him.
Min Congda replied: "I think Darko is a good boxer, his fists are very hard. Our team lacks some hardness and I'm going to add something tough to the team. He can punch a hole in the wall with one punch, really, I saw it with my own eyes. Whoever wants to get into the Clippers basket easily next season will have to wait to be punched. Are you right, Daktro? ”
When Milicic heard Min Congda's words, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, shook his fist, and said, "That's right, my boxer under the guardian basket." ”
