Chapter 23 23. Tang De's Small Abacus
There are three main sources of income for NBA agents.

First: player contract commission, a good agent can get 3%-4%, and the worst can get 1%!

Second: fixed salary, which is divided into annual salary and hourly salary. The hourly salary is about 400 US dollars per hour, and the annual salary is generally 50 per year!
Third: Player endorsement commissions, which are often the biggest source of income for agents, such as those who are particularly good agents can even get 20% of player endorsement contracts!For example, Jordan's agent, Falcao, after he helped Jordan sign the Nike endorsement contract, he earned at least 5000 million from Jordan. It is conceivable that this is a terrifying gold-absorbing ability!

As for Tang De's agent, Cantor, she got 2% of Tang De's salary, which means she can get 12 US dollars from Tang De every year before tax!
She is not a particularly top broker, so this 2% is the maximum amount she can get.

After the new contract was finalized, Tang De's hanging heart was finally relieved.

Because of Tang De's contract, D'Antoni is highly regarded by the outside world. Last year, he created Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin, who had no ball to play, actually signed a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions under D'Antoni's operation. .

This year he made Tang De exactly the same!
Tang De was already very satisfied with getting so much money. From now on, he can be considered a rich man.

But Tang De still can't get this money!

Generally speaking, the NBA pays salaries on fixed paydays. The default is the 1st and 15th of each month. From November 11th to the end of the regular season, there are a total of 15 payouts.In other words, NBA stars have no salary to play in the playoffs.

NBA players are negotiable when signing a contract with the team. It can be issued 6 times in 12 months, or 12 times in 24 months.In addition to the basic salary, the NBA also has many "alternative bonuses", such as the number of games played, weight control, etc., which are used to motivate players to perform better or maintain a better state.

In addition, a part of the player's salary will be regarded as "delayed compensation" every year, which will be paid out in the next season.

In addition to normal paydays, players can also ask the team for salary advances or loans.

NBA contracts are very complicated, and each player can have his own requirements, as long as the team and the player have a clear discussion.If it is an injury, layoff or accident, the salary will not be deducted. For example, Bosh still receives an annual salary of tens of millions!

But if you are suspended due to a violation of the rules, or leave the team without reason, your salary will be deducted!

So generally speaking, the NBA pays salaries on time, but every player can discuss details with the team, which can be said to be very humane.

Tang De chose to pay 6 times in 12 months, which was also Cantor's suggestion to him. As for the reason, Cantor did not say!
That is to say, Tang De is still a pauper, no, Tang De still has a little extra card, which is enough for eating and drinking in daily life!

Tang De is still living in the rented apartment. When the US dollars arrive in the account, the first thing Tang De wants to do is to buy a house of his own!

It can be regarded as an explanation for myself, not to mention how luxurious it is, at least have a house in the United States.

……

……

On the sixth day after signing the contract with Tang De, the Lakers made another wonderful operation!

On July 7, the Lakers officially announced that the team had signed Nick Young, and the contract was only $12 million for two years, and the second year was still a team option.

From the outside world's point of view, the Lakers have made a lot of money with this signing, because although Nick Young is not that kind of superstar, his ability is definitely more than that much money.

In fact, everyone knows why Nick Young is willing to join the Lakers with such a low salary. The big reason is that Nick Young has always been a fan of Kobe and the Lakers.

And Nick Young is not short of money. Later facts proved that Nick Young is still very good at making money. He has his own trendy brand store in Los Angeles!
Nick Young must be the starting shooting guard of the Lakers in the new season, plus Tang De, Gasol and others, on paper, the Lakers lineup in the new season is actually not very bad!
Nick Young is definitely a super scorer when he goes crazy. Even if he just plays normally, he can average about 20 points per game.

In the 13-14 season, Nick Young was the Lakers' scoring leader!

But that was in the past, and now with the arrival of Tang De, the "butterfly", it is not necessarily the case.

Although Gasol is a bit older and his state has begun to decline, with his current strength, he is definitely qualified to be the starting power forward of the Lakers in the new season, and he is even stronger than most players in the same position!

But now the Lakers still have one of the most important problems, and that is the problem of the team's starting center!

After Howard left the team, the Lakers seemed to have only Jordan Hill as the starting center.

But Jordan Hill obviously doesn't have the strength of a starting center. His offensive ability is very poor, and his defensive end is also not good enough.

Jordan Hill really has nothing to show for it, other than decent athleticism.

The problem of the team's starting center cannot be solved by the team management at present.

But Tang De already has a suitable candidate in his heart, and even if he doesn't pay a dime, that person will be very willing to play for the Lakers!

But with Tang De's current team status, he is not qualified to communicate with the management about team transactions.

If he went to discuss this matter with Kupchak now, Kupchak would probably ignore him, and even destroy Tang De's position in the hearts of the team management.

The NBA is like this. Among all the players on a team, except for the head star, there is basically no second person who has the right to ask the management to make a deal.

For the Lakers, it is estimated that Kobe has this right.

But Tang De has already made up his mind, he can ask D'Antoni to solve this matter.

If this transaction is handled well, it will do no harm to the team.

Tang De quickly fed back his thoughts to D'Antoni over the phone.

"Don, is there really a player like you said? If there is, I think he should have played in the NBA long ago?"

D'Antoni was very skeptical about Tang De's words!

"Mike, listen to me, he did play in the NBA before, but for various reasons, he slowly lost the opportunity to play in the NBA! If the team can give him a chance, I think he will let You are all surprised, that guy's physical fitness is really amazing!"

"The most important thing is that the team can sign him for not much money. Trust me Mike, this will be a surefire signing!"

"Okay, Don, I think I'm a little convinced by you, so let's go out to have a meal together, and we'll talk about it later!"
