Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

About halfway through the training camp, at the end of a training session, Billy King walked into the training hall very rarely, and said to Lin Zhan: "Lin, do you have time? Come to the office for a chat?"

Lin Zhan nodded. After taking a quick shower and changing his clothes, he walked into Billy's office. As soon as he entered, he found that even Larry Brown was there.

"How is your stay in Philadelphia? Do you like it here?" Billy smiled and said, "Sit down first, do you have an appointment tonight?"

"Let's get down to business, Billy, what's the matter?" Lin Zhan sat on the chair, looked at Brown and Billy and said, "You don't want to trade Aaron, do you?"

The current lineup, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like there is good news to be announced.

"Trading? No! Of course not "397"! Do you think I'm an idiot like Savor? I won't do things like dismantle the winning lineup!" Billy quickly waved his hands and said, "You really have no idea?"

Seeing Lin Zhan shaking his head, Billy King said helplessly: "Lin, why don't you change your agent. We wanted to talk to you this time, but we still can't contact your agent."

"We are worried that if we continue to delay, it will affect the atmosphere in the team, and there will be some rumors. In addition, we have been applying for and waiting for a brand new clause, which has just been confirmed to be passed, so I decided to take the initiative to talk to you , to let you know that we attach great importance to the renewal of the contract!"

"Contract extension!" Lin Zhan finally understood that he signed with the Suns at that time, it was a four-year rookie contract, and now that the three-year period has passed, he is here to invite the Dragon King

Pooh!

There is only one year of contract left. According to the league's practice, a top player like himself must communicate in advance to renew his contract in advance.

The first is to avoid those gossip, the second is to show importance, and the third is the most important, to prevent players from suddenly changing their minds and wanting to leave.

Renewing the contract early can allow the team to gain a certain amount of initiative, and it can also allow players to play with more peace of mind. There will be no situation in which the contract year is worried about injuries and does not play desperately.

"Well, I can't get in touch with my manager. She's probably in Antarctica now." Lin Zhan remembered that before he left the imperial capital, Su Wan said that he would go to Antarctica to see the aurora, although he didn't know about Antarctica. There is no aurora this season, but he is sure that there must be no signal base station in Antarctica.

"Antarctic..." Billy King didn't continue this topic, he didn't care whether Su Wan was in the Antarctic or the North Pole, he cared more whether Lin Zhan could stay in Philadelphia!

"Lin, what about you? Are you willing to stay in Philadelphia? I really hope you can stay here until you retire! I promise that things like Phoenix will never happen again. I promise that as long as you are here, you will There will be a lot of right to speak.

"Whoever you want and who you don't want, as long as I can do it, I will find a way to help you do it! And our boss is also very generous. You should know that our boss is not a person, but a group. One of the largest media conglomerates, they have plenty of money! Luxury tax or something, it's not a thing at all!"

"So, having said all that, Lin, what do you think? Do you have any thoughts or opinions on contract renewal?"

"No."

Lin Zhan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Based on my ability, I don't think anyone dares to cheat me when I renew my contract."

"Indeed." Billy said with a smile: "It seems that Larry's coming here is redundant. Lin, my terms are very simple, as many years as possible, as much money as possible, as for the team's draft or players option, see if you are happy, as long as you are happy, as long as it conforms to the league rules, you can fill in any number on the contract!"

"And, since the beginning of the offseason, we have been applying to the league for a brand new clause, which is aimed at you. This morning, I received news from the league that this clause will be formalized within 3 days. The Ministry of Propaganda approves!"

"The content of the clause is simple. During the rookie contract period, if a rookie player can be selected to the All-Star three times in a row, enter the best team of the year twice, or win an MVP, the maximum starting salary of his contract will be . It can reach 30% of the salary cap, which is 5% more than the previous regulations. …………………

"For example, Chris Paul, who is the same year as you, can get the biggest contract now, which is a contract starting at 25% of the salary cap, that is, a starting salary of 13.5 million, with an annual increase of up to 10%. A four-year, $62 million contract."

"And you, now you can sign a contract with a starting salary of 16.2 million US dollars and a total of 70 million in four years! This is the best I can do, what do you think? Do you need a team option or a player option? ?”

Lin Zhan looked at Billy King with a sincere face, not doubting his sincerity at all.

He just didn't expect that the new contract renewal rule called the "Ross Clause", which was supposed to be born two years later, was actually issued in advance because of him. Since Rose hasn't played a game yet, then this The brand new clause will definitely be renamed as 'Lin Zhan Clause'.

Lin Zhan nodded and said: "We can sign a 4-year contract, but I want the player option for the last year. I can opt out of the contract at any time. Of course, I don't want to go at 3.0. I just want to have a contract." Guarantee, as long as I am here, I believe we will always be the favorite team to win the championship."

"I will not have any unrealistic demands on the team's lineup, but I will not accept the team's inexplicable cutbacks or random sales of important players in our team. In short, you maintain the current investment. And sincerity, I will try my best to play, and I will not think about what I have or what I don’t.”

Billy King stood up excitedly and said: "Then I hope we can continue to cooperate happily until you retire. By the way, Lin, you can think about what kind of statue you want to erect outside our arena." I am sure it will be completed!"
