Chapter 967 Busy Taylor

"It's true that guy Bruce, can't you wait until you finish helping me with the things at hand before going on vacation~?!"

Inside the Clippers base, Taylor was sitting in his office, scratching his hair, speaking in a distressed tone.

But in front of him, on the desk, a large pile of materials were arranged in a mess.

What the hell is Taylor doing~? ! , Everything has to start from the day when the free agent trading market opens on July [-]st.

Every year at midnight on July [-]st, those players who have not reached an extension contract with the original team, or jumped out of the original contract, will become free agents, and these players can sign with any team in the NBA up.

So for NBA teams, when the door to the free agent signing market opens, it is the most important node this summer.

Because those capable big-name players will be looted by multiple teams, signing big-name free agents is always the fastest way to rebuild and strengthen.

The Clippers think so too, and they do it at the same time.

Besides, the Clippers are still in a semi-reconstruction state, and Lan Shengli also said before that the focus of the team's reinforcement is to sign big-name free agents, or Mesozoic players with certain abilities, at least if there are All-Stars Level, or in other words, players with certain experience and immediate combat power must be signed.

Therefore, Taylor is so busy now, and the problem with being so busy is that the Clippers have not been able to attract players like LeBron James to join, so the Clippers must speed up the service of free agents as soon as possible. signed.

As the supervisor in this area, Taylor is of course under tremendous pressure.

The Clippers are now mainly targeting Farmar, Millsap, Felton, Frye, Garcia, Bass, Livingston, Biedrins, Tony Allen, Diaw .

"How~?!, is there any new progress~?!"

The general manager of the team here came to Taylor's office and asked.

"Millsap has restarted negotiations with the Jazz. It seems that there is a great possibility of returning to the Jazz. Bass hopes to get a long-term contract, and ~, oh, yes, and Tony Allen has signed with the Grizzlies~”

Taylor said.

"If this continues, we will easily end up with nothing for two consecutive offseasons~!!"

The general manager said in a worried tone.

"I don't want to do this either, but there's no other way. Although we have a big market like Los Angeles, we just can't attract superstars. What can you do~?!"

Taylor said with some distress.

"You did your best, I can feel it~"

The general manager said.

"Let's talk about it after Bruce comes back from vacation in two days~"

The general manager responded.

"It's really late when he comes back~ I have to chat with Livingston's management team in a while. This guy who was selected by the Clippers with the fourth overall pick and suffered a serious knee injury I am interested in returning to the Clippers~”

Taylor said.

"Thank you for your hard work~, does Coach Blue know about this~?!"

the general manager asked.

"You have to believe in Coach Blue's ability, he can coach any type, and he can knead all types of players into a united team~!!"

As Taylor said, he got up and cleared the table.

"Well~, I really believe in this point, how about it~, you go talk about it first, if Livingston is willing, the team can offer him a two-to-three-year mid-level contract~"

The general manager said.

"Okay, I see, then I'll go talk about it~"

Taylor said.

"Hey~, the contract with Bass over there is still waiting for my reply, if only I can clone myself~!!"

Taylor sighed.

Taylor is indeed the busiest person in the Clippers at this stage.

While speaking, Taylor had already met with Livingston and his agent.

Livingston really showed a lot of sincerity. After all, players really rarely show up in person for this kind of thing.

"Our general manager has also felt your sincerity, so the team is willing to offer a middle class contract of two to three years~"

Taylor said straight to the point.

"Is this really the idea of ​​the general manager of the Clippers~?!"

Livingston, who had shaved off the ditch hairstyle and kept a ball head, looked at Taylor and asked doubtfully.

"That's right, that's what they think. It's absolutely true. I'm sure I won't lie about this kind of thing~ Don't worry about that~"

Taylor said.

"Actually, to be honest, the Nets offered me a contract extension before, and the Warriors also offered me a contract. I can have many choices, but the reason why I want to return to the Clippers is not just because I It is from here that I started my NBA career, and it is because I feel that the current Clippers lineup can have a place for me and room to play~!!"

Livingston said.

"I can accept the contract length of two to three years, and I can also accept the middle class, but what I have some doubts about is, what does Coach Blue think about me~?!"

Livingston asked.

"I actually care a lot about this young coach, after all, the person who ultimately decides the player's playing time and the status of the team is the head coach~!"

Livingston continued.

"To be honest, because Coach Blue is on vacation in Europe, I haven't communicated with him about this matter~"

Tyler thought for a while and replied.

"Oh~, that's it~, it's okay, let's talk about it when he comes back, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to sign a contract, when he comes back, I think it's best to have a face-to-face communication like now, I think it's very It is necessary~"

Livingston said.

"That's good, after all, we also want to make sure that the signed players are really useful to us~"

Taylor said.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your news~"

Livingston responded.

Although there is no direct signing success, at least the possibility of subsequent signings is retained, and with Livingston's sincere attitude, it is almost time to return to the Clippers.

After the meeting with Livingston, Taylor went to find the Bass team non-stop.

"Two pork chop burgers, a glass of Coke, packed~"

Taylor was so busy that he could only drive past the fast food restaurant to pack some fast food and eat while driving.

Soon, Taylor and Bass' agent met.

But Bass didn't show up.

"Four-year long contracts are really difficult to give in the current situation of the Clippers. After all, we have too many rookies who will have to renew their contracts in a few years, so the team's current policy is to try to Maintain salary flexibility~”

Taylor explained.

"That is to say, you are not willing to make concessions~?!, or can you only give a 1+1 contract~?!"

the broker asked.
