Chapter 1131 Take Jokic

noon.

Qin Tao got some bad news from Danny Angie.

The Thunder have officially matched Ennes Kanter's contract, keeping the Turkish center in the team at a price of 7000 million for four years.

This can be seen.

Sam Presti's deal with Durant was actually not that serious.

But in other words, keeping Ennes Kanter can also reduce the outside world's grievances about the loss of Durant.

But when everything has not yet been settled, it is meaningless to assume more now.

after an hour.

When Qin Tao and Zarya exchanged some things, Danny Ainge called again, which immediately lifted his spirits and decided to go to the team in person.

soon.

When Qin Tao appeared behind the Celtics' office building, a slightly shy figure immediately came into view.

The visitor is quite fat, and can be described as white and fat.

His face was a little tough, and a sense of maturity rushed over his face.

But he is only 20 years old, and he has just won the MVP in the Adriatic League.

That's right.

He is Nikola Jokic from Serbia!

It has been said before that this young center is ready to join the team.

But because of some minor problems, I have not come to the team to report until now.

The summer league has only just started, so as long as the contract goes well, he will be able to participate in the competition immediately.

Meet Qin Tao.

Jokic was a little nervous, and exchanged a few sentences with Qin Tao in English with a slight local accent.

look at him.

Qin Tao was only excited.

honestly.

When I got the chance to get him last year, it was really exciting.

natural.

Jokic was able to fall to the second round, and it was entirely because of the league he played for and because he was not very famous.

And although the league is not particularly obsessed with the physical fitness of the players.

But Jokic's size and talent really make them see little future.

But it is undeniable that this guy has a very soft touch and a very good reading ability on the court.

With him on the court, he can always bring surprises to the teams he plays for.

Especially his coping ability.

When he stands in a high position, he can be said to be a large point guard in terms of his vision and sharpness!

at the moment.

This cute fat man, who can be said to be only one year younger than Qin Tao, has gradually relaxed under Qin Tao's guidance.

then.

The two chatted and laughed, and Qin Tao met his European agent for the first time.

This is a middle-aged uncle with a big beard. He is not so well dressed, but looks very neat.

The two greeted each other and got to know each other, and Danny Angie, who went out to pick up things, came back.

see them.

Danny Ainge had a big smile on his tired face.

Leaving aside Jokic's talent and strength, he has to treat the players hand-picked by Qin Tao well.

This is a matter of face, but it is also his absolute trust in Qin Tao.

After all, the choice of a core player will not be particularly bad, unless his vision is like Master Joe's.

The next thing is very simple.

Jokic confirmed with his European agent, and then happily signed this four-year contract that has reached a maximum of 120% relative to his pick.

The total contract amount reached 550 million US dollars, which shows the sincerity of Danny Ainge and the sincerity of the team.

After all, a second-round pick who is not particularly optimistic, if he is not sure about his future development, then many will sign a three-year contract.

It's different now than two or three years ago.

Because the second-round picks have gradually played extraordinary performances, most teams will choose three-year contracts instead of two-year contracts, which will save them a loss of N billion!

The contract is complete.

Qin Tao and Danny Angie immediately took a photo with Jokic and his agent and posted it on the official social platform.

With such a high salary, Jokic, a second-round pick, immediately became the focus of discussion.

After all, Qin Tao and the general manager of the team were all dispatched. This treatment is really not something that ordinary players can have.

then.

Since it was just after noon, Jokic and Jokic didn't eat much, so they decided to have a good meal.

When it comes to eating, Danny Angie is really awesome.

After paying the bill in advance, I just sat there for about 10 minutes and left very eloquently.

Only three of Qin Tao were left in the box.

have eaten.

Because it was the first time we met, it was somewhat awkward.

However, Jokic's agent was very tactful, and instantly lifted the atmosphere.

His topic was very interesting, and he actually talked about Chinese culture, which made Qin Tao feel at ease.

The next communication is easy.

As the core of the team, Qin Tao naturally informed them of the team's situation as soon as possible.

Regarding the transaction and signing, he has no way to tell for the time being, after all, it involves the operation of the team.

As for Jokic's position in the team, Qin Tao can't guarantee it now, and they dare not ask themselves.

You are good and I am good for a meal.

Although Qin Tao was not lucky enough to get some guarantees from Qin Tao's mouth, being able to join this championship team is already quite a surprise.

Besides, Qin Tao and the team's treatment just now are very optimistic about Jokic, at least he will get some playing time next season.

Next, Jokic needs to work hard on his own, and strive to use his own efforts to get a position where he can better express himself like Olynyk.

At last.

Jokic's agent directly made a request in a helpless tone.

He said.

As an agent in Europe, and he is still the kind of person with connections, but in North America, his ability is really insufficient.

Qin Tao knew a thing or two about this issue.

Because he wanted to join the NBA and the Celtics this season, Jokic and his agent contacted Zarya as soon as the free market opened.

But because there are a lot of things going on recently, and Zarya's attitude doesn't care that much, so they don't have a North American agent to take care of them for the time being, and they have to rely on themselves for everything.

I thought about it.

Qin Tao didn't dare to promise anything, he just said that he would talk to Zarya when he got home.

This answer somewhat disappointed Jokic and his agent. It seems that it is time to consider other suitable agents or brokerage companies.

Their attachment to Zarya was all because of Qin Tao.

honestly.

They had hoped for the Chinese market, but the most important thing now is Jokic's position in the team.

He is only in the first round of the show, and if he wants to get more playing time, he doesn't just rely on hard work.

Everyone understands the truth, so they care more about Zarya.

Once she becomes a player under her banner, then you have to look at the Buddha's face even if you don't look at the monk's face, right?
Everyone is in the same team, can't take care of one or two?
Besides, everyone is an international player, barely one-third of fellow players.

It was a good idea, but the contact with Zarya was not successful.

Now that Qin Tao said he was going home to talk about it, they needed to consider other agents.
