After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 219 218: The birth of the highest salary in history!
The Lakers signed the handsome, gentle gorilla to be Shay's good helper.

Two of Georgetown's greatest players are officially meeting in the NBA.

Mourning looked at it and wanted to shout: "I will make up the head!"

In fact, the earliest goal of Logo was Mourning, but the Hornets' asking price was too high, and Mourning was eventually taken by the Heat.

Although Mourning is short, he is at his peak after all.

A seriously injured gorilla, even local fans in Los Angeles are not particularly optimistic about him.

However, no matter how sweet a girl is, there will always be a salty place.

No matter how unpopular players are, there will always be something to shine.

Although Finley and Ewing's immediate combat power is doubtful, they have good personalities.

Logo signed Gorilla and Finley, at least to ensure that the team can avoid what happened last season.

With Finley's personality, even if his ability increases in the future, he will not fool around.

And Ewing and Shay have a very good personal relationship, plus they have been seriously injured, so they will definitely be Shay's second child willingly.

This Lakers team will never disintegrate from the inside again!
The lesson of being forced to dismantle the team this time made Logo deeply understand the importance of "sustainable development".

The goal of the Lakers is not as simple as one or two championships.

Since you want to win three consecutive championships, the internal environment must be stable.

Logo still doesn't believe that it is impossible to create a three-peat miracle in modern basketball.

What kills the champion does not necessarily have to be the champion himself!

After Ewing is also in place, what Lakers fans are most looking forward to now is undoubtedly the official contract extension between Shai and the Lakers.

Barkley is also very concerned about this matter, because to put it bluntly, professional basketball is here, which is similar to KTV.

The size of the contract is often directly linked to strength.

If you are cheaper than others, then it must be that no one is bigger, or no one looks better.

The basketball world is the same, especially in this era when there are not too many rules and restrictions on contracts.The contract amount can sometimes be very indicative of a player's status and strength.

However, Fliggy thinks that the Lakers should never spend more than 2000 million to sign Shay.

Unless Jerry Buss got his head wet.

Laozhu, I will definitely be the player with the highest salary next season!

Outside, people are also predicting how much the Lakers will give Shay.

Most people's predictions believe that the Lakers will only open 2000 million at the top of the sky.

This is already a bold guess.

After all, these days, the annual salary of a basketball player reaches 2000 million, which is considered an astronomical figure.

If it weren't for the Knicks' initiative to make an offer, people wouldn't even dare to think in the direction of 2000 million.

Regarding the size of Shay's contract amount, there are different opinions from the outside world.

No one knows what kind of contract Shai will end up signing.

And actually
Even Shay himself has no idea how big his next contract will be.

Falk's negotiation strategy this time is based on passive listening rather than active bidding.

There is a disadvantage of taking the initiative to bid, that is, the price you may bid is lower than the boss's psychological expectation.

For example, Old Bath originally planned to sign Shay for 2200 million, but Falk himself quoted a price of 2000 million.

This is not a big loss.

Therefore, Falk has never discussed the specific contract amount with Bass.

He simply told Bass, "I'm sure you'll come up with a fair price."

Falk will take Shay directly to sign the contract on the day of the signing. At that time, in order to securely win Shay, Bass will definitely show the highest value of his psychological expectations!

This trick uses retreat as advance, which is really wonderful.

In this way, when Shay arrived at Old Bath's office, Old Bath was actually very nervous.

He originally wanted to throw a check to Shay, and then said handsomely: "Fill it whatever you want!"

But on second thought, if Shay wrote too much and he couldn't afford to pay, it would embarrass everyone.

Therefore, the old Bath still gave a specific offer.

In order to win Shay [-]%, he did increase the offer to the maximum he could bear.

At the same time, the major sports channels are waiting for the news of Shai and the Lakers signing.

Directly opened a number of live broadcasts for this purpose.

As soon as Shai signed with the Lakers, the reporters would immediately send the news back to the TV station.

Then the TV station immediately told the fans the result.

Even the signing was broadcast live, which shows how influential Shay is in the basketball world at this time.

Although Shay failed to hit the three consecutive championships last season, it is undeniable that he is already a player who can compete with Jordan in terms of traffic!

Bill Simmons was invited by ESPN to participate in a live show to predict the extension amount of Shai and the Lakers.

Simmons feels that Shay is most likely to sign for 1800 million a year.

"How is it possible to drive to 2000 million? The Lakers are not a charity.

Besides, Shay is not worth 2000 million.

If Shay really created the miracle of three consecutive championships last season, let alone 2000 million, even 2500 million is worth it.

But Shay's failure last season has proved that he is not as strong as everyone thought.

Therefore, his new contract will never exceed 2000 million.

Of course, as I said before, it is very possible that Shay will end up using 'money' as an excuse to escape from Los Angeles.

One Finley and one Ewing, it is impossible to keep Shay. "

At the same time, in Old Bath's office.

Jenny and her father sat across from Shay, very nervous.

Yesterday, Old Bath solemnly told Jenny: "My dear, the situation is serious this time. I'm afraid I have to give something more."

Jenny was shocked at the time, Dad, you don't want to add an additional clause to the contract.

Send me to Shay too! ?

Great!
Ah no, don't~
But... for our family business, why not sacrifice a little girl?

Old Bus looked at the shrewd Falk and the Shay he dreamed of, took a deep breath, and pointed out three fingers straight to the point: "This is the best I can bear!"

Falk leaned into Shay's ear:

"2300 million, I think it's about the same, after all, it's directly covered by the salary cap!
Anyway, as long as it exceeds 2000 million, even if it is making history, it can create a lot of gimmicks.Just taking advantage of this time to release new shoes, we can still make a fortune! "

When Xie Yi heard it, hey, you really have a zebra head, and you speak clearly.

Shay also knows that 2300 million in this era is already quite respectful for his quotation.

After all, the highest salary in the NBA in 2008 was only 2300 million.

Seeing that Shay and Falk didn't agree directly, but were discussing something in whispers, Old Bass panicked.

It's over, wouldn't it be less?

So the old Bass hurriedly interjected: "Shay, in fact, I have the same dream as you, which is to let the Lakers build a three-peat championship dynasty!"

Falke knew that Bass was playing the emotional card, and he probably wanted to bargain, so he helped Shay answer: "This dream is still a bit difficult technically."

"I know it's difficult, so I'm willing to pay 3000 million to renew Shea's contract, which is 1000 million more than the market value! I just want to prove that I am determined to overcome difficulties with Shay!"

Shay and Falk were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Co-authoring three fingers is not 2300 million! ?
3000 million!
What is the concept of an annual salary of 3000 million?
We have to wait until 2014 for the salary of NBA players to exceed 3000 million!

By 2018, the annual salary of 3000 million yuan will gradually become normalized.

Shay is equivalent to 20 years in advance, and got a maximum salary contract that surpassed the entire era!
That's right, in the original history, although Jordan also received an annual salary of 90 million in the 3000s.

But you have to know that when Jordan got 3000 million, he was already the undisputed No.1 in the league.

And before Shay had achieved such a high achievement, the old Bass directly paid 3000 million!
When Falk heard this, he immediately changed his words pretending to be calm: "It's not about money, Dr. Bass. Shay and I, we mainly respect the same dream! Nothing else in mind, just three consecutive championships, sir cause!"

When Old Bus heard this, he laughed from ear to ear: "So, you agreed?"

"Of course, although there are some differences from expectations. But Shay told me that the Lakers will not sign."

Old Bath hurriedly handed over the contract, and Falke also hurriedly took out his pen.

They all wanted a quick fight, and they were all afraid that the other party would regret it!
But before signing the contract, Falk made an additional request.

He promised Shai to sign a four-year contract with the Lakers. In fact, he could sign for 20 years.

Because in the second year of the contract, Falk wants player options.

Equivalent to a year-to-year signing, Shay can jump out of the contract at any time.

The purpose of doing this is not to run away, but to allow the Lakers to have salary space for reinforcement every year.

Shay's 3000 million has directly exceeded the total salary cap.

If it is signed for many years at one time, it means that the Lakers will not be able to do anything in the free market in these years.

But if the players are given options, Shay can jump out of the contract every summer, and then use the Bird clause to renew the contract after the reinforcement is over.

Repeatedly, Shay can make money, and the Lakers will not be directly locked by Shay.

Falk is well aware that salary is only part of Shay's path to money.

Shay still needs to win more championships, so that his status and fame will be greater, and his commercial value will be higher.

If Xie Yi's status and commercial value can be used to fully develop his fashion brand, then the 3000 million yuan is worth nothing!

Of course, if Shay suffers an injury and his state declines, he can also choose to continue to implement the remaining contract.

After all, the right to step out of the contract is in Shay's hands.

Don't worry about jumping out of the contract and no one cares about it.

Old Bath didn't think too much, and immediately agreed to the request.

Now as long as Shay's record and box office guarantee can be stabilized, Old Buss is willing to do anything.

Although the Bullets gave Webber player options in the second year before, Weber left in the second year.

But Old Buss doesn't have to worry about this issue, because Shay can only get an annual salary of 3000 million if he renews his contract with the Lakers with the bird rights.

If they jump out of the contract and join other teams, other teams do not have Shay's bird rights, so it is naturally impossible to give Shay a salary that exceeds the entire salary cap.

After adding the player option clause, the two parties signed this 4-year contract worth 1.2 million dollars.

Although it is actually signed every year, it is more face-saving to publicize the [-] million yuan contract~
Seeing Shay finish signing, Old Bus let out a sigh of relief.

Tonight, I can finally sleep peacefully.

But seeing Shay finish signing, Aunt Jenny had tears in her eyes.

Not
Is this settled?
it's over?
Shay, don't you have any more excessive demands?
You don't want to hit the boss's daughter's idea at all!
Shay: You may have misunderstood me. I'm an upright person. How could I make such an impolite request?

After signing the contract, Bass shook hands and hugged Shay.

Old Buss looked at the two championship trophies the Lakers won in the 90s in his office, suddenly full of ambition:
"Shay, with you here, I believe that the 90s belong to us! By the way, what technical problems did we say about the three consecutive championships just now?"

Xie Yi waved his hand: "It's not impossible to overcome technical problems!"

Afterwards, Buzz and Shay pushed open the office door and walked out together with their arms around each other's shoulders.

The moment I walked out, there was a flash of light outside.

The reporters were waiting outside the office early, everyone was waiting for the first-hand news of the Lakers and Shay's contract extension.

The pictures of Shay and old Bass also appeared in real time on the major sports channels.

Seeing that the two entered the arena intimately, one knew that the contract renewal must be negotiated.

The question now is how much the contract amount will be.

Although Old Bus's heart was bleeding just after spending the money, but at this moment, he was extremely proud:

"L.A. fans needn't worry because Shai has agreed to a four-year deal with us!"

Hearing the news, Lakers fans cheered.

This can be regarded as the first good news for the Lakers in the free agent market this year!
But how can this little information satisfy everyone's curiosity?Immediately, a reporter asked: "Dr. Bass, can you tell me the specific amount of the contract?"

Old Busby held out a finger.

In the studio, Bill Simmons laughed straight away: "Pfft! It seems that we all overestimated Shay. He and the Lakers only signed 1000 million a year! Laughed to death, and said that we were shocked, but it turned out like this ?”

Barkley, who was watching the live broadcast, also laughed, Shay is still worth less than the old pig~
Which one is stronger and which one is weaker, isn't it very clear now?

Pippen continued to cry without tears, your lower limit is already the upper limit that I can't touch!
It's embarrassing to say that one Yi equals five skins, okay?
The reporter looked at Old Bath's gesture and carefully confirmed: "1000 million a year?"

Old Bass shook his head: "No, no, no, I mean, a small goal. We and Shay reached the largest contract in history with 4 million dollars in four years! Shay is worth this price, he is the world's Best player ever!"

As soon as Old Buss said this, the entire basketball world was shaken!

In the studio, Bill Simmons' smile froze completely, and his jaw was about to dislocate.

He looked at the live broadcast partner with a confused face: "Just now, Dr. Bass said one? Not 1000 million!?"

Simmons covered his face, feeling the burning pain in his face.

Once again, Shay totally exceeded his expectations!
The donut in Buckley's hand also fell to the ground, and the whole pig was completely petrified.

He raised his trotters and did the math, 4 million in 1.2 years, that means 3000 million a year! ?

3000 million a year! ?What an international joke! ?

Originally thought that 2000 million would be the ceiling, but the Lakers actually added another 1000 million to the ceiling! ?

Xie, is he so valuable! ?

Barkley had only been working as the "highest salary in history" for a few days before he was blasted into scum by Shay!
Pippen was sweating profusely, one Iraqi was not equal to five skins, but [-] skins!

So much skin is enough to make a dumpling!

Mourning is also paying attention to the news of Shay's signing. He must be concerned about the signing of the contract.

So while watching the live broadcast, he also sent a text message to Xie Yi: "Let me know the contract is signed, and Dad will help you see if you have lost money."

After seeing the amount of Xie Yi's contract, Mo Ning swallowed, and hurriedly sent another text message: "Little Mo has been wandering for half his life, and only regrets not meeting the Ming Lord. If you don't give up, Xiao Mo is willing to worship Ning as a foster father! "

At this moment, it's not just Simmons, Barkley, Pippen and Mourning.

Fans all over the world paying attention to this signing were terrified!

The total salary cap is only 2300 million, and it turns out that Shay's salary alone is 3000 million!
This.
This also means that Shay's worth next season may be higher than the combined worth of some teams!

Director Zhang said, this contract is very unreasonable, but it has to be signed like this!
Sure enough, as Shay said before: "When I officially renew my contract with the Lakers, everyone will be shocked!"

Xie Yicheng does not deceive the public!

Whether you accept it or not, you must be extremely shocked now!
No matter how much you belittle Laozi, Laozi can get the highest salary in history!Are you angry!
Becoming the highest-paid player in history is extremely glamorous, but also, the pressure is great.

If Shay does not perform well next season, or the Lakers' record does not meet expectations.

Then Shay will definitely be criticized.

Inflated social status is a very shameful thing in the sports circle.

Players will be labeled as "incompetent", and the boss will be labeled as "the wronged species".

Everyone is embarrassed.

In fact, Bill Simmons is already complaining: "This is definitely the stupidest contract extension in NBA history! As long as Shay can't lead the team to win the championship, then this contract extension will fail!"

After being slapped madly in the face by Shay again, he was furious and began to take the rhythm crazily.

Bill Simmons feels that the current lineup of the Lakers is simply incomparable with the previous two consecutive championships.

Madman was replaced by a rookie who didn't know if he could play.

Fliggy, who was in the top five of the MVP rankings all the year round, was replaced by the semi-disabled Ewing.

And role players such as McMillan, Dell Curry, AC Green and Sam Perkins are also getting old and have entered a period of decline.

Even new signing Ricky Pierce is already a veteran.

How can such a Lakers win the championship?

This season, the Lakers' failure is doomed!

For a while, Old Buss seemed to be the biggest victim of Boss Cai.

But Shay doesn't think so.

The teammates may have become slightly weaker, but Shay himself is getting stronger!

This offseason, he can definitely complete an upgrade through training.

And after this upgrade.
Shay should finally be able to show some decent performance in the middle distance!

Don't worry, just wait a while and Shay will tell everyone.

3000 million, worth it!
