Chapter 1284 The Root of Enduring Prosperity

Under the suggestion of general manager Cole and head coach Lan Shengli, the Clippers completed the renewal of Love and Jordan with a four-year contract of 4 million and a three-year contract of 7200 million.

For a long time in the foreseeable future, these two people will become the inside pillars of the Clippers.

And the two people who have completed the contract renewal can also prepare for the final stage of the regular season with more peace of mind, and work harder with more energy.

Not to mention Love’s fully guaranteed contract with almost a maximum salary, of course it is perfect. Even a contract like Jordan’s annual salary is nearly 900 million U.S. dollars, which can be said to be an upstart.

"The next thing is the early renewal of Harden's contract during the offseason. If George renews his contract early tomorrow, the future salary space is really tight~ But fortunately, Billups' 1350 million contract ends this season. It will expire later, but it’s nothing~, if you want to maintain the flexibility of salary space, it’s still a very important thing~!”

Lan Shengli sighed.

As the head coach of the team, Lan Shengli has aroused the heart of a general manager.

"Congratulations, I will call you millionaires from now on, haha~!!"

In the training hall, Lan Shengli saw Le Fu walking in with training equipment on his back and said.

"No, it's ten million~!!, haha~!!"

Love sat down and responded with a smile.

"Haha~, I'm envious, I'm really envious~!! It's nice to have money~!"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"Of course, you are rich and willful~!"

Love sighed.

"I hope you can all sign big contracts, earn more money, and help the team win the championship~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Of course, this is what I have to do~!"

Le Fu said with a firm expression.

"How's the injury on the left palm~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"I have been doing regular inspections, the cracks have not changed, and they are in good condition. I hope they can be maintained like this until the end of the season~!!"

Love responded.

"Of course, I hope so too~, this kind of thing can only be prayed~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"I think it's very unfair. He stole my rebounds, so he's paid more than me, huh~!"

Here, Jordan also quickly walked over with his training equipment and said.

"I haven't robbed much in these few games~, when I robbed a lot before, wasn't that also when you were not present~!!"

Love explained.

"Yeah, DeAndre, besides, don't say you can make three-pointers, even if you can hook and hit free throws, you may already have an annual salary of tens of millions, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli on the side followed suit.

"Cut, it's all because of the damn "shark hacking tactic", otherwise, how could I be so passive~!!"

Little Jordan still said with a disdainful expression.

"Haha, so, let's hurry up and practice free throws~, if you can practice free throws well, then naturally there will be no such situation as "shark-cutting tactics"~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Wait, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~"

While chatting, Lan Shengli's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Boss~?!, training is about to start, why did he call~?!"

Lan Shengli looked at the phone screen and became puzzled.

"Hey, Mr. Ballmer, what instructions~?!"

Lan Shengli quickly got through the phone and asked.

"Come to my office, I can't say a few words~"

Ballmer responded.

"Mr. Ballmer, are you looking for me~?!"

Lan Shengli hung up the phone and came to Ballmer's office soon.

"Sit~, I want to chat with you~"

Ballmer said.

Lan Shengli quickly sat down.

"For the team's renewal of Love and DeAndre, I have heard your previous thoughts from the general manager. Regarding the team's future salary structure and the operations that still need to be done, Cole has also made suggestions for me. In this report, it is clear that our salary space will be very tight when George re-signs in the next year. I don't mind paying the luxury tax. I just want to ask you , so many young players in the team, is it really necessary to keep all of them~?!"

Ballmer asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Ballmer can give generously, that is the greatest support for the team~"

Lan Shengli said that he didn't answer the question.

"I know what you think, Mr. Ballmer. You want to renew George's maximum salary contract to sign a more experienced, stronger, and best superstar who has proven himself, right~?!"

Lan Shengli asked a question.

"Haha~, I really like chatting with you~"

Upon hearing this, Ballmer immediately said with a smile.

"Yeah, since I entered the Clippers, I have always wanted to use the big ball market of Los Angeles to attract some big-name players. I was busy taking over the team last year and didn't pay much attention to these things. Now, I think more about it. More, that’s it~!!”

Ballmer said.

"I understand your thoughts. The appeal, influence, and box office drive brought by big-name players are obvious. Every team wants to have a few big-name players, but not all teams want to have a few big-name players. Like the Heat and the Celtics, it takes luck and timing to immediately form the Big Three. Obviously, our Clippers don't have that luck and timing in a short period of time, but I think we have other teams that don't The assets we have are high-quality young players~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"After all, every big-name player comes from young players, so our young players today may become big-name players in the future~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Maybe we have recruited big-name players and given up young players. We have the opportunity to hit the championship faster and even win the championship, but in my opinion, a team wants to achieve long-term success and wants to grow. Prosperity is unabated, young players are fundamental~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak in a very serious tone.

"I have been saying that I hope to replicate the success of the Spurs over the years to the Clippers. To accomplish this replication, you must let these young players who have played together after entering the league, They have been together all the time, and the tacit understanding they have cultivated is something that big-name players who joined midway do not have~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to explain.

"Perhaps what you said is right, but before these young people have officially become real big-name players, I will not give up the idea of ​​letting the team pursue superstars~!!"

Ballmer responded.

"Since you said that, then I can only ask my players to work harder, and then move towards big-name players as soon as possible~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"It's just that you have to prepare the banknotes, Mr. Ballmer~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak with a smirk.

"Haha~!!, no problem~!!"

Ballmer responded with a laugh.
