NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1299
"3 million in 2700 years? No, this contract is still too small."

In the end, he issued an invitation contract to the Spurs' restricted player George Hill. The contract is $5 million for five years, $4000 million per year.

According to the new labor agreement, this is the longest contract that George Hill can get.

After the Spurs received the invitation contract, general manager Buford was immediately embarrassed.

Now the team has Duncan + Bosh + Artest + Parker, which has exceeded the salary cap, and the pressure on the luxury tax is very high. The new season may bear a luxury tax of 8000 to [-] million. With the small ball market of the Spurs, it has already borne it. Great, it is impossible to match this contract.

"Greg, what do you think?"

He informed Popovich that Popovich didn't want Hill to go to the Suns, but he couldn't stop him, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

In this way, the Spurs gave up the matching invitation contract.

"The Hammer is finally back, and I hope the new season will be better." Buford said expectantly.

Hearing this sentence, Popovich said he wanted to vomit blood.

But he knows that the team's operations are already in trouble. If the operating income does not increase, bankruptcy is possible, or the current lineup will be dismantled, so it is hard to say anything.

George Hill and his agent were very happy after being notified. Although the Spurs are very strong now, the Suns are a double-dynasty team. Although they didn't even make the playoffs last year, isn't this the return of the Hammers? ?
And now that the Hammers are back, the Suns are the most watched big team in the league. If he joins the Suns, he will definitely receive more attention, which is far better than staying in a small team like the Spurs.

Not surprisingly, George Hill and his agent accepted the contract and announced that he would join the Suns.

After winning George Hill, David Griffin was very happy and said to Payton excitedly: "Popovich helped us train George Hill, and we will go to grab Kawhi Leonard three years later. People we like."

"Ha ha……"

Payton laughed, and then said: "Now our starting lineup has the main center, main power forward, and main guard combination, and only the main small forward is missing. David, you have to speed up the time, the more people in the free market Come less and less."

"Don't worry, I have to complete the deal without sleeping these days." David Griffin laughed.

He then calculated the salary, Li Ba’s was not counted, Garnett and Kidd both had veteran contracts of 100 million, Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons were both low in the draft, and they also only had a million annual salary , Even less than that, the four people add up to only 400 million US dollars, plus George Hill's 800 million, plus Ginobili's 1400 million, a total of 2600 million US dollars.

According to the new boss Hassan, in the next few seasons, without worrying about the luxury tax, the team can still sign a player with a maximum salary, and even a star player with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars.

He also needs to find a center substitute, and in the free market, there are two, one is Tyson Chandler and the other is Nene.

These two players have a problem, poor physique, easy to get injured, and can only play for 10 minutes, not a [-]-minute player.

Moreover, both of them are weak in offense and strong in defense, and their annual salary levels are similar, both above tens of millions.

Tyson Chandler was also a former Suns player and Li Ba's younger brother. Griffin chose Chandler, which was also explained by Li Ba.

He offered a four-year, $4 million contract and reported it to Chandler's agent.

Chandler's agent is Jeff Schwartz, the number one gold medal agent in the NBA, and he is also ranked sixth among the top ten sports agents in the world.

Now he is on the same level as him in the league, that is, Gao Yuanyuan who holds stars such as Li Ba, Dayao, Ah Lian, Harden, Derrick Rose, Gasol Jr., Love, and Westbrook.

"Tyson, it's only 4800 million, which is 1200 million lower than the Knicks' contract. Do you want to go? If you really want to go to the Suns, I'll help you negotiate the contract." He said.

With his ability, he will definitely be able to get a higher contract than this one.

"Let me talk to the boss, you know that the Suns have no salary space at all." Chandler thought for a while and said.

"Tyson, if you look for the hammer, it may be difficult to get a higher contract. This is a business, just talk to the management directly."

Schwartz persuaded, he thought for a while and said: "Actually, I don't agree with you going to the Suns. You should play the main force. You still have such strength, and you don't lack rings. The Knicks are the ones you should go to." team."

Chandler considered it again and again, and agreed to the agent's offer.

So Schwartz rejected the contract from the Suns and asked to increase the contract to $4 million in four years.

David Griffin certainly cannot agree to this offer. He is looking for a substitute, not a main player. The annual salary of 1200 is already high enough.

Next, he contacted Nene's agent, Dan Fagan.

Speaking of Dan Feigen, in fact, when Ah Lian had not yet entered the league, he was optimistic and wanted to sign Ah Lian. Unfortunately, Ah Lian was training with Li Ba at that time and was signed by Gao Yuanyuan. He was a step behind.

Dan Fegan was delighted to receive Griffin's call.

After the end of Nene’s rookie contract, the Suns approached him, wanted Nene to join the Suns, and issued an invitation contract. Unfortunately, the Nuggets matched the invitation contract. This time, the Nuggets did not have the willingness to renew Nene for 6 years as high as before.

In fact, for the sake of the championship, he and Nene have been waiting for news from Li Ba and want to join Li Ba's team.

"4 million in 4000 years?"

Dan Fagan is very embarrassed. He really wants Nene to join the Suns. It was like this 6 years ago, and it is still like this now, but the contract is too low, right?
The Wizards have already offered a contract for Nene, also for 4 years, up to 5200 million U.S. dollars, with an annual salary of 1300 million U.S. dollars, which is a bit big.

"But the Wizards don't have a championship. Dan, I want to play in the Finals. I haven't played in the Finals. I haven't even played in the Western Conference Finals."

He called Nene, and Nene's reply was simple.

Dan Fagan is really in a difficult situation, no agent does not want his players to get higher contracts.

"Finally found a substitute for the Hammer." Griffin was very happy when he received Dan Fagan's reply.

Nene is better than Chandler, because he can play the fourth and fifth positions, which is a greater addition to the lineup.

However, the starting small forward has not been settled yet.

Li Ba returned to Xianbei Castle on this day, and time has slowly entered October. The new season will start on NO.30 in October.

"Be sure to use Chris Paul to the Lakers or the Heat. Both teams lack good point guards. We need them to become stronger."

"James won the championship last season, and our sales revenue skyrocketed. We should make persistent efforts in the new season."

"Go and talk to the Clippers owner Sterling, he is very interested in money, we have to hurry up."

"As far as I know, Chris Paul doesn't want to go to the Clippers. He wants to go to a championship team. I think this can be achieved."

"In addition, Deron Williams has not yet signed, we can operate it."

"In this way, we will send a lot of money to the Lakers and Heat!"

"It's nothing compared to what we're getting. And I suspect Adidas is sending money to the Suns as well."

"If there is evidence that Adidas funneled money to the Suns, we can appeal them to the league."

"It's a good idea."

At the Nike headquarters in New York, a meeting about the NBA is being held, chaired by president Philip Knight himself.
