Chapter 29 Dell Curry
Bruce returned to Oakland, the joy on his face did not hide the tiredness in his eyes.
"Man, how is your publicity going?" Cole asked Bruce, who was sitting on the office chair, expectantly. Even though he had something important to say, seeing his old friend looking a little tired, he held back !
"It's okay!" Bruce picked up the coffee on the table, fanned his nostrils, took a deep breath of the unique aroma of coffee, took a shallow sip, and said, "What makes you so excited?"
Cole picked up the document on the table and handed it over, excitedly said: "Man, your suggestion is really great, ever since we chose to launch the "Blair Witch" promotion on the Internet, young people throughout the United States have been attracted by this Mysterious and slightly sinister stories have captivated, and the hype for "Slim Beauty" has never been higher."
Looking at the gratifying data on the document, Bruce said with a smile: "Cole, I have to say that you have an innate ability to do business!"
"Of course!" Cole raised his chin happily and confidently, looking like I was very successful.
"Then, let's wait for the premiere on January 1!" Bruce stared at Cole with great anticipation. He was absolutely confident in the funds and publicity that he and Cole invested in, and won 29 million yuan on the day of the premiere of this previous life. The dollar surprise box office further expanded, and Bruce's uncle also played a considerable role in this.
Originally, the film was not screened in many theaters. As an insider and his network of connections for many years, on the day of the premiere of "Slim Girl", he insisted on increasing the number of theaters to more than 800. Compared with the previous life, which only premiered in 4 theaters, there are nearly half more theaters!
1 month 23 day.
The Warriors and the Knicks just completed a transaction that caused huge controversy on the 22nd. On the second day after the completion of the transaction between the two teams, a transaction that caused a sensation in the league instantly detonated the entire United States.
The Bulls traded Scottie Pippen to the Rockets for Roy Rodgers and a 2002 second-round pick.
Last season, due to various reasons, the entire Bulls team was full of rumors of internal strife, especially the internal strife among Pippen, Phil Jackson and then general manager Jerry Krause.
Pippen missed nearly half of the regular season due to injury when he won the last championship of the Bulls dynasty last season. When his contract expired, he made it clear that he would not play for the Bulls.
With the resignation of Phil Jackson after the season and the resignation of Mike Jordan due to labor negotiations, various factors made the Bulls really decide to trade Pippen. The US dollar super contract will sign the 5-year-old Pippen!
Once this news was announced, the entire American media went crazy. Since Drexler retired, the Rockets really wanted another All-Star player to fill his position, and the team has a "big dream" Olympiad. The two All-Star players, Rajuwon and "Big Mouth" Barkley, caused the entire league to see the Rockets' ambitions.
When the deal caught the attention of the nation, a barrage of deals began.
On this day, the Timberwolves signed the Warriors' No. 95 pick in [-], Joe Smith, with a weird contract.
The Sacramento Kings signed the 2-meter European center Verratti Divac who has been underestimated in the Hornets with a valuable contract.
Immediately after noon, the three-team "big deal" between the Warriors, the Clippers, and the Wizards attracted some attention from the media!
"Our young owner made another shot. The Warriors paid Dee Brown and Felton Spencer to the Clippers for Rodney Rodgers, a versatile No. 3 and 4 swingman and a 2001 An unprotected first-round pick, the Wizards sent slightly rough Ben Wallace and Tim Legler to the Warriors and Clippers, respectively."
"Judging from the way this young boss operates, there are a lot of rookies in the Warriors team. In this year's shrinking season, Bruce Young is not as we guessed, preparing to do badly this season in order to get next year's team. The No. [-] pick in the first round, from these few transactions, we have seen the combination of high-quality rookies and experienced players."
"The composition of the Warriors' players is also quite reasonable, with John Starks and rookie Vince Carter on the back line. Chris Mills and Don Yale, who has shown good skills, on the front line. · Marshall and the unfamiliar German are in charge. And guarding the paint for the Warriors is Eric Dampier, who had 11 points and 8 rebounds last season, and an injured Returning Jason Caffey to guard, plus Rodney Rodgers, Ben Wallace, Terry Cummings, Adonal Foyle and Chauncey Billups With a good bench group, the entire Warriors team has given people great expectations, let's see what kind of surprise this Bruce Young, who has built the current Warriors team lineup, will bring us!"
Bruce looked at the newspaper in his hand with joy, and he had great confidence in the team he was building now, with Vince Carter's impact and Chris Mills' impressive scoring and defensive abilities, plus Dirk · Dirk Nowitzki's powerful shooting and Chauncey Billups' simple playing style, the whole team is like a perfect jigsaw puzzle in his eyes, giving people a refreshing feeling!
"It's really exciting!" Bruce put down the newspaper with a smile, then turned on the TV, looking forward to Cole, who was standing in a certain theater and giving a premiere speech with anticipation!
From the frequent exposure of sensational league deals on the 23rd to the premiere of "Slim Girl" on January 1th, in just a few days, except for some trivial deals, the entire league is closely related to the schedule. In this season, he has his own calculations.
Because there are only 54 games left in the entire regular season, this has prompted some mid-level and top players to have the hope of winning the championship, while some players with fairly good skills have chosen to sign a one-year contract to make themselves in this summer. long-term contract.
It was the emergence of this factor that a veteran player known for his three-pointers entered Bruce's sight.
"Mr. Downey, I am very interested in your clients. I wonder if Dell is willing to come to Oakland to start a perfect career?" Bruce looked at the premiere in the corner with a smile, and sincerely asked the other party in the receiver The agent asked!
"Of course! Mr. Bruce, you have made several very remarkable deals this summer, and I think my client is very happy to work for you!" Downey said calmly, but he was actually pleasantly surprised by the call from Bruce. Go!
Dell Curry was born in 1964 and was selected by the Jazz in 1986. He started his career from this year. Since 1991, the three-point veteran has basically maintained a shooting rate of 40%. The cold-blooded shooting has become a player that every team strictly guards during his years of career.
In this disastrous season this year, Dell Curry became a free agent because of the limited financial resources of his home team, the Hornets.
If Bruce does not intervene, this high-quality veteran will choose to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks!
"Mr. Downey, I will provide your client with a 4-year contract. As a 34-year-old veteran, I have shown my sincerity. I hope you can discuss it with Dell! "Bruce frowned. Although the team's salary is still some distance from the salary cap, he is not willing to let go of this three-point veteran. In his plan, Carter will be the team's main scorer. , He is still immature and needs an experienced veteran to guide and guide him.
In his previous life, because of his strong dunking skills, Carter's knees became a huge hidden danger for him. His multiple injury history in his previous life also made Bruce have to find a qualified substitute for this god-level dunker. Dell Curry He is his ideal player.
In his previous life, although Dell Curry's fame was unknown, his two sons showed great influence, especially Stephen Curry, known as the "cute god", with his precise shooting and Smart assists radiated his own dazzling light in the Warriors in the previous life. In the 2012-2013 season, he made 272 three-pointers in one fell swoop, surpassing the single-season three-pointer record held by Ray Allen!
"Mr. Bruce, I have to have a good talk with my client, I hope you can wait patiently!"
After finishing the call with Dell Curry's agent, Bruce frowned and looked at the technical statistics about him in his hand.
From a statistical point of view, Dell Curry can definitely be called a good scorer. So far in his career, although his age has grown year by year, his scoring ability has not weakened at all. He is big, but his playing time is relatively reduced, but his efficiency is getting higher and higher. After so many years, Dell Curry has always maintained double-digit contributions. The veteran's breakthrough is extremely threatening.
It didn't take long. Originally, Bruce thought that Downey would contact him after a few days or even consider the offer from another team, but now he contacted him in just a few 10 minutes!
"Hello, Mr. Downey, you are really amazing!" Bruce said with a joke.
"Of course! My client wants to work for you very much!" Downey couldn't hide the surprise in his heart anymore. After receiving Dell Curry's promise, he was afraid that he would not agree to the contract, but who knew , I just asked him and got his affirmation.
"That's really surprising!" Bruce said with a smile. For an experienced and capable veteran like Dell Curry, there are not many free agents in this shrinking season, and now he is affirmed. Answer, I am still a little surprised that it went so smoothly!
"Why don't you tell me about your offer?" Bruce pondered for a moment, looking at the copy of Curry's salary and data over the years in his hand, and asked tentatively.
"You also know Dell's own ability, otherwise you wouldn't have offered him this long-term contract!" Downey said calmly.
"So what's your answer?" Bruce asked bluntly, he didn't want to go around in circles here all the time, although he didn't mind chatting with this agent, but the season is about to start now after all!
"4 million dollars in 800 years!" Donnie didn't know where Bruce's bottom line was, so he thought about it and simply quoted the price.
"Mr. Downey, to be honest, if Dell was 2 or 3 years younger, I would definitely agree to your offer." Bruce shook his head helplessly. The contract is generally low, but the other party's offer is a bit high!
"So, what about your offer? You also know that a veteran player who has maintained his ability is very welcome to those teams that are aiming to win the championship!" Downey said calmly, and what he said is in this shrinking world. From the perspective of the season, it is indeed what he said, and a 34-year-old veteran can get a long-term contract, unless he is a first-class player or an All-Star for many years, this can guarantee a contract of more than three years .
"Sorry, I can only offer a four-year contract worth 520 million US dollars." Bruce said his biggest bottom line, and this kind of contract whose average salary is higher than the veteran's basic salary is generally obtained by those veterans with certain abilities. And those veterans who only rely on experience and tend to be stable role players basically get the basic salary of veterans!
"This...I have to discuss it with my client. Please wait a moment!" Downey was quite satisfied with Bruce's offer. Originally, he had already received the veteran's basic salary of 100 million a year from the Bucks. But now he suddenly received a call from Bruce, which still made him extremely excited.
According to the league's regulations, when the agent negotiates with the team, as long as the contract can be settled, he can draw a 4% commission from the player's signed salary.
Not long after, Bruce was watching TV with a smile when the phone on the table rang: "Hello, Mr. Downey, I hope we can get a satisfactory answer from both sides!"
"Mr. Bruce, the charm of your Warriors team is really not small. Dell didn't think about it at all. We agreed to this contract!" Downey said a little excitedly. These veterans make a fuss about them, just like the legendary agent David Falk, who only said that he had nearly 75 players at his peak, and he knows how powerful his commission and ability are.
"That's really great!" Bruce was a little excited. Although this was his first time signing a free agent, after all, he was not signing some old oily skinny guy waiting to die, but a player with real strength. Vulgar veteran!
