From today on is the king

Chapter 1589 1588. Liu Mang's Overlord Clause

There are only 7 days left to report to the national team on July 5.

On July 7, a few days after the draft, the Eagles management finally made an appointment with Liu Mang for a meeting.

In fact, starting from the 28th, the priority of the Eagles management has always been to contact Liu Mang, but there has been no response.

No matter if you call Levia, Alexia, or Dinah, the reply you get is that Liu Mang is resting.

Schwartz now has to deal with the unexpected situation of McGrady being traded, discussing the next endorsement issue with sponsors, and Kevin Love being selected with the fourth overall pick, which is also a major event for the company. After Liu Mang returns to China, after the duel with the NCAA champion and runner-up, there are still many endorsement activities...

Many, many things, Liu Mang asked Schwartz to leave him alone, but Schwartz really didn't care...

Anyway, I can't control it.

In the president's office of the Phillips Arena, looking at the boss who seems to be very nervous, Liu Mang has actually calmed down now, but it's really interesting to see this scene.

Liu Mang can probably understand where Jordan's pleasure in bullying the team's general manager came from when he was in the Bulls.

But Liu Mang is not as bad as Jordan, he just waits like that, and waits until the team's management team can't contact the head star for several days and is about to collapse.

Because Liu Mang did not interact with the rookie, when Milicic came to Atlanta for the physical examination, Liu Mang did not show up, but Wade and Grant Hill went to meet the new teammates... This series of events has given the media a lot of reverie and speculation in the past few days. These news also made Price very disturbed, wondering what Liu Mang was thinking.

In fact, Liu Mang didn’t think about anything these days. On the night of the 28th, he had a breakup meal with McGrady, Kwame Brown, Brad Miller, Jermaine O’Neal, four traded teammates, and Michael Finley and Desmond Mason, who chose to retire. He stayed at home for the next two days, playing games with the little girl, watching TV, and teaching the little girl some boxing skills.

Little Lolita is already 13 years old, Liu Mang thinks she should practice some self-defense skills.

Don't think that Levia is very strict, she loves little Lolita, she doesn't want little Lolita to suffer from martial arts, so she doesn't teach her, but Liu Mang wants her to learn.

The matter has become a foregone conclusion, what else can Liu Mang think about.

leave?

Even McGrady was so open-minded to appease him to stay. Liu Mang is not a fool. He knew that when he was at his peak, the team could not do anything against him, and with his commercial value, even if he was 40 years old and insisted on playing with 3000 million yuan, the team management could only endure it, and happily counted the money and endured it.

There is another key point, and it is also the point that the Eagles management is ruthless...

Jason Terry is still there.

This was Liu Mang's final bottom line, and the Eagles management did not touch it.

A lot has happened these days,
After McGrady joined the Raptors, he quickly renewed his contract with the Raptors. The Raptors offered a contract extension that no one could refuse, 8200 million for three years, extending the contract to 2012 to prevent McGrady from leaving in 2009.

In the Eagles, McGrady took the initiative to cut his salary by 100 million a year. It was because he won the championship in the 04-05 season. When he went to other teams, McGrady naturally wanted the highest salary he could get.

After the signing of this big contract, McGrady's salary in the 2011-2012 season reached 3019 million US dollars, becoming the second star in NBA history with a salary of more than 3000 million US dollars.

On the second day after McGrady renewed his contract, Kobe also renewed his contract with the Lakers, extending the contract that expired in 2011 to 2014, 3 million in 8450 years, and 3020 million in the last year, just overtaking McGrady by 13 dollars in the 14-[-] season...

Garnett became a completely free agent starting at 7:1 am on July 0, and many teams wanted to contact Garnett.

Some teams have also begun to officially operate summer operations. The biggest problem for the Eagles right now is the renewal of Liu Mang's contract...

It feels like the boss is almost funny, and if he plays again, he feels that the boss who is not so strong in heart will cry. Liu Mang glanced at Schwartz next to him, and Schwartz took out a contract and handed it to Price.

After Price snatched the contract away, Schwartz looked at the empty hand, feeling weird, and said: "This is the contract we have drawn up, Steven, you can ask the team lawyer to see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

"3+1!" Price picked up the pen and wanted to sign a contract, but he held back and handed the contract to the lawyer next to him.

The contract was very formal. It was a template downloaded from the NBA official website where only registered players or team owners could log in. The lawyer saw that there was nothing wrong with it and handed the contract back to Price.

Price looked at the only things that could be changed, namely the salary and additional terms.

薪金还没确定，附加条款写的是2008年7月11号生效，以2008年7月10号公布的新工资帽为薪水基础点。

The maximum salary of the 4-year veteran specifies the terms, which is the starting salary of 30.00% of the latest salary cap, and the player option for the last year.

Portrait rights and other aspects are the highest stipulated by the NBA, which is no problem.

The last one is considered a harsh requirement. The so-called overlord clause is also the transaction rejection clause...

That's fine too.

Liu Mang has just played for 7 years, and he can add a deal veto clause to the contract.

After patiently reading the details of the contract, Price couldn't wait to sign and seal it.

Liu Mang's 3+1 contract extension with the Eagles is to ask for the highest salary after 10 years of playing.

Players who have played for more than 10 years and have bird rights can sign a new contract with a starting salary of 30.00% of the salary cap. The extension of the contract can also be triggered, just like the super salary received by Kobe and McGrady. .

Liu Mang's only concern is the issue of labor negotiations at that time, but it's just a concern. For Liu Mang, that will at most affect the contract period, and Liu Mang did not intend to sign a too long contract.

After the Maidi incident, Liu Mang's desire to control his future became even deeper!

……

……

At noon on July 2008, 7, after signing the contract extension with Liu Mang, Price immediately announced to the media and fans that Liu Mang had renewed his contract.

This made the Eagles fans who had been anxious finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Price also announced the overlord clause in Liu Mang's contract, which was used to appease the fans.

There are only two players in the history of the NBA who have the overlord clause, one is Kobe, and the other is Liu Mang who has just signed a new contract.

This is quite a sincere contract clause, which satisfied the fans of the Eagles and Liu Mang a lot, and reduced their dissatisfaction with McGrady being sent away.

At the same time, it also gave the Eagles a sigh of relief for those anxious players.

Without Liu Mang...the Eagles may still be a strong team, but they are no longer the original Eagles.

The Hawks successfully renewed Liu Mang's contract, which was the first major event that happened during the offseason.

Liu Mang was in the headlines again. He was a little happy to see another wave of hooliganism. Next, he was even happier to represent the national team in the Olympic Games, and to play the Olympic Games in his own country, which had a completely different meaning.

but……

On the night of July 7st, Liu Mang was helping Levia and Alexia pack their luggage when a big news suddenly broke out, stealing the limelight from his contract renewal!

Pulled to the computer by the little Lolita, Liu Mang watched the news and read aloud: "Pierce forced the palace to make a deal, Angie clearly refused, and publicly criticized Pierce... Phoenix is ​​crazy, do you want to imitate Brother Farmer?"

This news came very suddenly. It may be that Pierce made such a decision after seeing Milicic's successful transaction in the past few days.

It was only four days after Milicic's transaction, and the details of the transaction were only revealed on the 29th and 30th of last month, that is, yesterday and the day before yesterday.

Liu Mang felt that Pierce might have made the decision to force the palace after the free market opened today...

Pierce was a rookie in 98. The three-year rookie contract was renewed for 4 years, and then renewed for 5 years. The contract expired in 2010. He wanted to use the situation similar to Milicic to blackmail the management, but Angie decisively rejected it!
"Brother Changtian? Uncle, are you talking about Milicic of our team? He succeeded in forcing the palace to trade, and others will definitely want to imitate it." Little Lolita responded.

"It's different, Dana. Angie of the Celtics is very different from the management of the Raptors. He won't be threatened like this. Pierce has killed himself this time..." Liu Mang felt that Phoenix was in big trouble now.

Forcing the palace also depends on the person, and if the first one of this kind of thing is successful, the second will definitely not be successful.

No team wants this kind of thing to become the norm!
Angie publicly rejected Pierce's forced palace, and criticized Pierce, just to combat this situation from happening again.

If this kind of thing becomes normal, it will be too bad for the team. Even if he turns against Pierce, Angie is not willing to let such a thing happen again.

On the other side, in Cleveland, a high school player who claimed to be only 23 years old was also watching the news, as if a basin of ice water poured into his restless heart.

James also wants to walk away like Milicic and force the team to trade, but his image does not allow it. Milicic's trade has a great impact.

And now that Pierce has just filed a trade application to force the palace, James can only suppress his restless heart...
