Chapter 265 Finalized
"I want the joint command of the team, does this still count?"

Ning Caichen looked at Wharton steadfastly, as long as Wharton said no, Ning Caichen would find another home.So far, none of them have considered teams other than the Lakers. Although they don't want to leave Los Angeles, if they really can't meet the requirements, he won't insist.

Ning Caichen knows that many coaches in the NBA will fully consider the feelings of the star players when they arrange tactics. Their own coaching ability is not very strong, and they often need to rely on the star players, so I often see some coaches on the court. There is a set of tactics from the beginning to the end, and the main star is forced to complete the field. When the situation cannot be controlled in an important game, this situation often occurs.

Wharton had already prepared himself. Although he still had doubts about Ning Caichen's coaching ability, at this time, he had to tie the two uncles to the boat.

"There is no problem with this. I promised you a long time ago, and I will never break my promise." Wharton said a little excitedly. It seems that he is only short of success with Ning Caichen's final nod.

"Haha, believe me, let Ning take charge of the team with you, and you will become one of the best coaches in the 21st century." Paul smiled mysteriously like a trust.

Wharton was stunned, the best coach of the 21st century?He never thought about it, although he also thought about reaching the legendary height of Popovich, but he has self-knowledge, and being able to bring the Lakers to the playoffs is his biggest dream.Now, with Paul and Ning Caichen joining him, he is only one step away from his dream.

Ning Caichen stretched out his hand, palm down, hanging in the air, looked at Wharton and said, "Then, I think we've made a deal."

"what!"

Wharton was overjoyed, and tremblingly put his hand on the back of Ning Caichen's hand, he couldn't believe that he had really dealt with Paul and Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen glanced at Paul and motioned him to put his hand up.

Paul shrugged, put his hand up and said, "OK, this is a great moment. I believe that everyone here at this moment is a witness to history."

Ning Caichen turned around and looked behind him. It was empty, only to see a lady in cleaning clothes mopping the floor at the door.

"It's unbelievable. I didn't expect that I really negotiated this deal. Oh, my God, I'm probably going to be popular. I'm the hero of the Lakers." Walton became a little incoherent.

"By the way, you are the coach of the team, not the president of the team. Is it really effective to talk to you?" Ning Caichen then remembered that Wharton is not Rivers or Popovich. The coach does not have the relevant rights to operate the team, so it seems inappropriate to discuss a deal with him.

After hearing this, Paul couldn't help but cast a blank look at Ning Caichen, "You don't think of this now, do you?"

Ning Caichen scratched his head and said, "I, am I inexperienced? When I was in the Clippers, the head coach Rivers always came to interview me. I didn't expect Walton to be just a coach!"

The corner of Walton's mouth twitched, he was still there, what was meant by "just a coach", it seemed that the coach was a dispensable role in the team.

"Don't worry, he must be backed by the team owner, otherwise you think he would agree to us without permission." Paul is an old fritter, how could he not think of such an idiot question.

"Ahem, Ning, don't worry, I can still speak in the team. The team owner and president have given me full authority to deal with the transaction with you."

"That's good." Ning Caichen was relieved, but he was too careless. If Wharton agreed verbally, it would be useless if the Lakers management didn't admit it later.He is not afraid that the Lakers will not want them, he is purely afraid of trouble, contacting the team management is really annoying.

"Huh, they authorized you to take full charge of our trade negotiations. Is it because they know our relationship and want to lower the price." Paul pointed out the strategy of the team management.

Ning Caichen was shocked immediately and started talking about the price. He likes this topic.

The corner of Wharton's mouth twitched again, negotiating with an insider was different, it was embarrassing, everything was seen through.

Wharton scratched the bridge of his nose and said, "Well, that's not true, it's just that they think that if I do something, the success rate is higher."

"Although I don't care too much about the price, the quotation must be worthy of my strength. You must not fool me like Rivers." Ning Caichen is a little worried now, and should not have said anything at the beginning If you don't care about the price.

"Don't worry, no, you will be satisfied." Wharton assured, looked at Ning Caichen and asked in a low voice, "Well, Ning, what was Rivers' quotation for you back then?"

Ning Caichen glanced at Wharton, acting like an idiot, could he tell you?

"Go and investigate yourself! As long as your bids are sincere enough, I won't go too far."

A few people chatted for a while, and Walton couldn't wait to go back to the team. He wanted to bring this good news back to the team, and he had to prepare the contract, and he was going to sign with them immediately.

That night, Walton and other team management staff were already waiting for the arrival of Ning Caichen, Paul and others in the meeting room of the Lakers headquarters.

Both Ning Caichen and Paul brought their own teams to sign the contract, of course lawyers and agents were indispensable, but Ning Caichen's team only needed him and Luo Yijing, while Paul brought five people.

After seeing Paul's team, Ning Caichen realized what a wise decision he had made to bring Luo Yijing over as a manager and part-time private lawyer.Luo Yijing's current role is a lawyer, and after signing the contract, he became his personal agent again. How much salary has been saved by this, he has to consider whether it is time to give Luo Yijing some salary increase.

The arrival of Ning Caichen and Paul shocked the entire management of the Lakers.

The main event was finally coming. After greeting the Lakers management, Ning Caichen and Paul were separated, ready to formally sign the contract.

Ning Caichen and Paul have already dealt with each other. He will not sign a long-term contract with the Lakers all at once. After all, his career has just begun and he does not want to hang himself on the Lakers. But if the Lakers really suit him , It will not be too late to renew the contract at that time, and Paul, he knows that his peak period has passed, so he must sign the last long-term contract.

Ning Caichen was holding that thick stack of contracts, all he cared about was the quotation page, so he pulled out the quotation page, and gave the rest to Luo Yijing, who was beside him, to let her see if there was anything The trap is in.

In fact, the NBA's relevant rules are very complete and very transparent. All player management regulations are clear. If it exceeds the league's regulations, the contract will not be counted, so the most important thing is the quotation page.

After Ning Caichen saw the quotation, he didn't react too much. This quotation can barely be regarded as a superstar contract.

4+1 contract, 5 million US dollars for 1.7 years, the fifth year is a team option.In the first year, he can get an annual salary of 5 million U.S. dollars, and then increase year by year, up to 2560 million U.S. dollars in the last year.

This is a superstar contract, but not a top superstar contract. Although Ning Caichen did not meet Ning Caichen's expectations, he was able to accept this offer.

After reading it, Ning Caichen smiled and said, "It's too low, it doesn't match my strength."

Lakers owner Jenny was taken aback when she heard this, sure enough, Ning Caichen was not satisfied!

After listening quietly, Luo Yi took the quotation from Ning Caichen.

It is indeed low. Judging from the current quotations of players, Ning Caichen's first-year value will not be less than 2800 million U.S. dollars, and the level of more than 3000 million U.S. dollars can match Ning Caichen's worth.

"However, I can accept this offer, but I have conditions, and the contract period needs to be changed." Ning Caichen continued.

The Lakers owner Jenny immediately smiled when she heard this, looked at Ning Caichen and said, "Ning, you said, no matter what you ask, we will do our best to satisfy you, but, you know, we still plan to sign Griffin , so everyone’s quotations are considered to be at the normal level, so we can only satisfy you in other aspects, I hope you can understand.”

Ning Caichen doesn't care whether he wants to sign Griffin or not. These are just excuses. If the Lakers really want the championship, how can they do it without blood?Always wanting to exploit players, how can there be such a good thing.

However, Ning Caichen doesn't care about these things. He is really not very interested in the salary offered by the team. As long as there is a contract that can respect him, that is enough. Just sign a commercial contract, but it is higher than the salary. Too much.

"I can't sign with the team for too long." After speaking, Ning Caichen took out a pen and scribbled a few words on the quotation page.

Jenny quickly took the offer, and when she saw it, she screamed in her heart that it was cheap, and Ning Caichen hardly raised the price.

2+1 contract, 3 million for 8 years, the third year is a player option, and the three-year annual salary is average, and there is no increase year by year.

It's a bit low. The quotation they gave was room for counter-offering, but the price offered by Ning Caichen was far from reaching their upper limit.

Jenny couldn't help but looked at Ning Caichen seriously. He is a handsome and attractive young man, and he doesn't look stupid. Why can't he get along with money? Is this the unique quality of Chinese people?

Jenny thought that Ning Caichen would speak loudly, but she didn't expect that Ning Caichen just reduced the contract period from 5 years to 3 years.Ning Caichen is the highlight of their transaction. Even if they can't win Paul, they must try their best to keep Ning Caichen. They are ready to fight a "protracted war", but they can't Thinking that Ning Caichen would not return the price, this made them very uncomfortable for people who had been negotiating for a long time. After preparing for so long, it was done in two or three steps. It really didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

Ning Caichen was not in a hurry, and just looked at the beautiful boss who was thinking.

No, it is impossible for Ning Caichen to accept such a price.

Jenny knows the value of Ning Caichen very well, and Ning Caichen knows it himself. Anyone who understands basketball on the earth knows the value of Ning Caichen. Regardless of the role of his own ability on the team, it is the Chinese market behind him. All teams are coveted.

Jenny looked at Ning Caichen again, and not only did she not see the noble quality of being indifferent to the world in Ning Caichen's eyes, but she saw the shrewdness of a profiteer.

This Ning Caichen is not easy!
