Chapter 272: A Thousand Dollars Buy Horse Bones (Fifth Update)
On Oct. 31, Clippers team doctor Dr. Clems performed surgery on Curry's ankle.
Min Congda was outside the operating room, waiting for the results of the surgery with Curry's family and agent.
The operation was not long, it was over in more than half an hour.
Dr. Clems came out of the operating room, and everyone hurriedly gathered around him.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly.
Min Congda was surprised: "Huh? Didn't get saved? ”
Everyone was startled, and immediately reacted and rescued a yarn!
Curry is doing ankle repair surgery, not that people are going to die!
The doctor said, "I'm just tired and catching my breath, don't be nervous." ”
Min Congda said: "You're tired... So what are you shaking your head for? ”
"When I repaired it, I observed his ankle tendons and soft tissues, and the condition was worse than the results of the examination, and it was already tattered like a sweater," the doctor said. So the surgery was still worth it, and it was a key part of his reconstruction. If you recover well, you might be able to make it to the end of the season. ”
It turned out that the doctor shook his head to lament the severity of Curry's ankle injury, which was much more serious than it looked.
Old Curry was greatly relieved to hear the doctor say this.
Curry's agent, Austin, is most concerned about Curry's contract.
He immediately stepped forward and asked Min Congda: "Mr. Smart, Curry's contract ......"
Min Congda said: "Are you worried that the commission you get in your hand, will I treat Stephen badly?" I chose him with the champion and let him have surgery, will I treat him badly? ”
Austin smiled awkwardly, no way, who made Curry the only influential player under him.
He was able to be Curry's agent purely because he had a good relationship with Dell Curry, so he signed Curry.
Aside from Curry, the only player he has the biggest name is Lul Deng.
If he doesn't point to Curry for dinner, who else can he count on?
Min Congda said that he said two sentences, and he still said very generously: "Don't worry, this season will be renewed in advance, with a maximum salary, 82 million for 5 years!" The final year is a team option. It will be implemented from the 2013-2014 season and expire in the 2017-2018 season. ”
As soon as these words came out, Austin exclaimed, held Min Congda's hand tightly, and said, "Mr. Smart, your generosity is really beyond words!" ”
Dell Curry, who was on the sidelines, was a little shocked when he heard this contract and couldn't believe it.
It's only the second year, and it's just a big contract for 5 years? I've never seen anything like it.
Dale Curry said, "Hey Smart, you should think about it again and go back and have a meeting with management." And then talk to the boss? ”
Min Congda thought to himself, what's the use of the management meeting, don't they all listen to me?
As for the boss? Raheem Sterling made an appearance in Los Angeles in mid-September and went to Africa again.
This old boy let Min Congda run the Clippers last season, and his worth has risen! There's a lot of money on the account.
Even if the system doesn't influence and control him, he will continue to hand over the Clippers to Min Congda's full management.
Min Congda said: "Dell, this is the highest salary, the longest contract, I can't give a bigger and higher contract." ”
Dell Curry said: "I didn't mean that, I mean, it's too much risk to the team. ”
Although this contract is definitely beneficial to Curry, it is precisely because it is so beneficial that Dell feels that he will not be able to do so.
Min Congda said: "What is this? When the Lakers signed Magic Johnson that year, they gave a 25-year, 25 million contract. The Warriors signed Webb at that time, also on a 15-year, 78 million contract. Curry is also the top pick, and in my opinion, his value is the same as that of Magic and Webb. I give a 5-year contract with a maximum salary in advance, so what's not to like? ”
"And Dell, you know, the salary cap has been lowered this season, to 58 million. So Curry is still a bit of a loss to sign the salary cap, and the salary cap will definitely go up even more next season, and if you want a bigger contract, we can wait. ”
When Min Congda said this, Dell Curry knew that it would be too fake to refuse.
At this time, Curry had been pushed out of the operating room, and he was very excited to learn that Min Congda was going to renew his contract for 5 years and 82 million.
He grabbed Min Congda's hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry Smart, my ankle... I'm really sorry. ”
Curry apologized for his ankle injury and not being able to help the team.
The season had just begun, and in the second game, Champion Yuanxiu was injured and underwent surgery.
On the advice of his doctor, Curry was to take a five-month break.
In other words, he won't be back until March at the earliest, when the season is coming to an end.
He will miss most of the season and could affect the team's ability to make the playoffs.
At the same time, as the team's most popular star, his absence will undoubtedly affect attendance and ratings.
Can Min Congda not know about these situations? Isn't this all a good thing!
Griffin was not selected in last season's draft, and as a result, Griffin was reimbursed for an injury.
Now that Griffin has paid, it's finally Curry's turn to rest injured.
Min Congda used a very sincere voice to hide his happiness and said, "Stephen, you must recover as soon as possible." Rest assured, the Clippers are growing, and so are you, and it's just a minor setback in your growth. ”
Curry was very touched by Min Congda's comfort, and finally settled down and rested.
Min Congda, who has always been decisive, is no exception this time.
The surgery was done in the morning, and at noon Riccelle had a press conference to announce Curry's injury.
Then in the afternoon, the contract was drawn up and the contract was renewed with Curry in advance, with an amount of 82 million for 5 years.
Everything was done without delay, and the management Olser and Rosser did not have any opinions.
The relevant media immediately reported on Curry's surgery and the Clippers' decision to renew his contract.
This move immediately caused a lot of controversy, but this controversy is already a small one among Min Congda's various controversies.
Most people still think that Min Congda's contract is too reckless, and at the same time too big.
Curry's situation has only been played for a year, and he didn't have any honor in the first year, so he directly gave him a maximum salary for 5 years?
Even if you are optimistic about Curry's future development, you can reassure yourself that you want to renew your contract in advance, and you can sign a contract with a smaller amount and a shorter time.
Why go straight to the top salary?
However, Min Congda's operation has also attracted praise from players and some big names.
"Smart's generosity will bring more benefits to the future of the Clippers."
It was none other than Jerry Buss, who gave Magic a 25-year contract in the first place.
Bass is a man who understands the truth that a superstar is a team's greatest asset.
He led the Lakers in an unwavering execution of the superstar strategy that made the Lakers the most successful team in the league.
His operation of buying horse bones has made the Lakers a place that many stars are willing to go to.
However, now his health is deteriorating, and he is rarely involved in team management.
Knowing through the newspaper that Min Congda had renewed Curry's contract ahead of schedule, he remembered the scene where he met this kid in Las Vegas.
"He's right, his management methods really don't need me to teach him."
