Chapter 352 Finalize the big contract!
"Chen Yu, if you stay in Los Angeles, as long as we still have time, we can do a lot of things together. I will use up all the tickets for your family to watch games every year! I watch you play every day, and you score goals. Sometimes I will shout louder than anyone else, and when you finish the game, I will wait for you outside, and I can drive you home... You can also come to see me on the set and bring me delicious food. We also You can watch many, many movies together, go to many places together, just like today, let all your friends know me, and then all my friends will know you..."

There was a sense of longing in Elizabeth's words.

Chen Yu's smile gradually climbed to the corner of his mouth.

He hugged Elizabeth: "Suddenly feel that life is unparalleled!"

... time is gradually passing.

Soon, Chen Yu also met with the Lakers executives.

For Chen Yu's request, the Lakers also found it inconceivable...

The fact that Chen Yu didn't sign a long-term contract was actually a bit puzzling to them themselves, and they also hoped to try their best to get Chen Yu to sign a long-term contract.

Under normal circumstances, unless it is a superstar, or a low-salary, high-value player with unlimited potential, otherwise, most teams still don’t want players to sign long-term contracts, but Chen Yu happens to be a player with a suitable salary and unlimited potential. So the Lakers very much hope that the contract with him can be signed longer.

They have been fighting for Chen Yu now, and hope to let him stay, but this does not mean that they are completely relieved of him.

In fact, everyone was still a little worried about Chen Yu's potential injury.

It would be fine if they could shorten the signing for a few years. Of course, people are so concerned about gains and losses. They also worried that Chen Yu would fight better and better, but they regretted it for the rest of their lives because they didn't negotiate a compromise at this time.

Therefore, the Lakers are also negotiating with Chen Yu and the others, and at the same time they have put up the bird rights as a bargaining chip: roughly meaning that if Chen Yu can sign a three-year contract, the Lakers will be able to own his bird rights. At that time, Chen Yu had the ability to renew his contract with a maximum salary.

But even after saying that, Chen Yu still made Bill Duffy refuse.

So, after several rounds of negotiations, the two parties finally settled on the amount of the contract.

Because Chen Yu only signed for one year, his contract guarantee amount is 1000 million US dollars, and there is another 300 million US dollars as a reward: if the Lakers can enter the playoffs, Chen Yu will play 50 games in the regular season. If he does more than one game, he can get the reward of 300 million U.S. dollars. If he only does one of them, he can only get the reward of 150 million U.S. dollars.

In addition, Chen Yu also gave in a step: next year, the Lakers have Chen Yu's priority, that is to say, when Chen Yu becomes a free agent, the Lakers can participate in other teams' bids for Chen Yu, as long as the salary is higher. Not lower than other teams, then Chen Yu must sign with the Lakers.

Calculated in this way...Chen Yu's salary has risen sharply, from 200 million to more than 1000 million!
These days, the salaries of players in the league are far from exploding, and more than 1000 million US dollars is almost the salary level of an All-Star level. Chen Yu is very satisfied with this contract.

In this way, there is not much problem with the source of funds for the third time he wants to improve his tolerance, and this salary is already No.3 in the Lakers, second only to Kobe Gasol, and it is also a fortune in the league. Not a small number.

No matter in terms of face or heart, Chen Yu felt flattered by such a salary.

... A few days later, Chen Yu and the Lakers officially signed a new contract. This contract had been exposed by the famous reporter WOJ before it was officially signed, and immediately caused an uproar.

The offseason is called the long grass period again, because everyone can’t watch the game and have nothing to do. They compare various stars almost every day, and repeatedly watch and study the past games. Analysis, if any news comes out during the offseason, everyone will immediately follow and comment on it.

When Chen Yu signed a new contract with the Lakers, it immediately attracted several points of controversy:
Are the Lakers going to pay a huge luxury tax for Chen Yu?Don't they still have Nash?How are you going to deal with these things now?
Then, the Lakers actually signed a second-round pick with such a high salary. Isn't this disrupting the market?What does last year's Rookie of the Year Lillard think?What do the rest of the round think?Will the owners of other teams in the league jump out and object?Just like dismantling Kobe and Paul back then, let the Lakers feel helpless again?

Then, the Lakers are now signing Chen Yu with such a high salary. Are they planning to bet on Chen Yu in the future?But in the next time, Kobe will definitely not be able to return to play, so where will the Lakers go next season?
Each problem has many different solutions. Anyway, in everyone's eyes, this matter has become the most noteworthy thing in the NBA recently.

During this time, after obtaining Chen Yu's consent, the Lakers finally held a press conference in Los Angeles. This press conference was mainly aimed at signing Chen Yu, and Chen Yu also chose to participate. .

By this time, everyone knew that the signing between the Lakers and Chen Yu had been officially completed, and there was no suspense left.

Everyone has also seen the final contract details of this signing.

Although they also saw the reward money, they soon discovered that the reward money was not that high. Even after deducting the reward money, Chen Yu still had a guarantee contract of more than 1000 million. It's jaw-dropping!
All kinds of questions are actually waiting for this press conference.

In the face of many questions from everyone, in fact, the summary is the previous few questions.

The Lakers officials who participated in this press conference were particularly categorical:

"The whole process of our signing Chen Yu is legal and in line with the league's various regulations. We don't think there is anything wrong with our signing process!"

This is the answer to the question that broke the rules.

"We shouldn't judge a player by first-round picks and second-round picks. We don't think it's fair. Chen played a wonderful season and he deserves a big contract from us! So we've done a good job. Prepare!"

This is to answer the question that everyone thinks that Chen Yu's second-round pick should not spend so much money to sign.

"Next we will enter the playoffs, and we will still attack towards the championship! I think Chen will be an important piece of the puzzle on our way to the championship!"

This is the question of how the Lakers will use Chen Yu after the answer.

After answering the three questions, it sounds full of confidence, but in fact it is beyond reproach.
