Chapter 280 Plan A and Plan B
The championship celebration was pretty crazy.
The Thunder team had a whole night of carnival at the largest private estate in Oklahoma City. Su Yang woke up at noon and found that the floor was full of people. His mind was still a little confused. Vegas continues to party.
Harden completely let himself go, inviting three big-ass girls to accompany him at one time, and the four of them often disappeared in the villa.
Durant is not that crazy. He occasionally smokes a hookah, raps a few words with Green, and chats and interacts with netizens.
NO.17 In the morning, Su Yang received a call from Jiang Ruolan, and learned that the capital turnover problem had been initially resolved, but he had to invest at least tens of millions of dollars in the future, either with his own savings or with consortia such as Sequoia Capital. Second round of investment.
He didn't want to continue to distribute shares to others, and decided to rely on his own salary to ensure the company's development in the future. He immediately flew back to Oklahoma, called his assistant Taylor to gather in Oklahoma City, and discussed related matters such as jumping out of the contract.
At the beginning, he signed with the Thunder, a four-year contract, 350 million US dollars per year, and the last year can be jumped out and ended early.
At that time, as a rookie coach, the Thunder gave an annual salary of 350 million US dollars, which was full of sincerity. Although it was much worse than the 600 million US dollars of D'Antoni and Neal, and the 1030 million US dollars of Phil Jackson, many rookie coaches later did not have 350 million. For example, the Bulls' 10-year rookie coach Thibodeau has an annual salary of only 217 million US dollars.
However, after three years, the benefits that Su Yang brought to Lei Ting far exceeded the actual salary by several times, even as many as dozens of times.
The purpose of jumping out of the contract this time is to sign a new contract that meets the identity, ensure the status of the team and the league, and increase fixed income at the same time, so as to maintain the operation of MT, and finally make MT bigger and stronger, and sell tens of billions in the future Dollar.
NO.18 At two o'clock in the afternoon, assistant Taylor rushed to Su Yang's apartment, and agent Bill Duffy also arrived together.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Su Yang turned to the topic: "What kind of contract do you think I can get the most?"
The salary of the head coach is different from the salary of the players. There is no clause such as a maximum salary contract. What kind of contract can be signed under strict conditions. Most of them need to conduct detailed negotiations with the management or the boss. Su Yang is not good at those things.
Bill Duffy sat up straight when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "That depends on how much you want. You Chinese believe in setting your goals higher. Even if things don't go well in the end, you can still get a more acceptable result. I Are you right?"
Su Yang smiled lightly, knowing that Duffy's words were "whatever comes first, what's best", after thinking for a while, he said: "I want to get a contract with an average salary of at least 1000 million US dollars, but the term can be shorter. It’s best if the terms are rich, and it’s okay to be less rich, but it must be fully guaranteed, and I consider myself a coach at the level of Phil Jackson.”
Phil Jackson's 10-11 season was a temporary signing for one season with a salary of up to 1200 million US dollars.
Su Yang thinks that he has a record of two consecutive championships + 72 wins, and the probability of hitting the third consecutive championship is also very high. It is really not too much to ask for 1000 million.
"It's hard..."
Duffy shook his head slightly, "At least it's difficult here in the Thunder. You should know their style of work. As a coach, the annual salary of 1000 million US dollars is the highest level in the entire professional sports industry, and it's not entirely determined by grades."
Taylor followed up and said: "You are currently holding two consecutive championships, which is considered the moment of your strongest reputation. I suggest you be bold."
Su Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "I hear what you mean, have you already contacted other teams for me? Are you going to make a bid?"
In the NBA, if a team wants to interview employees with contracts from other teams, it must first obtain permission from the other team, but before that, it is completely possible to contact an intermediary or agent, which is not against the rules, and it is even a common method.
"You probably don't know how hot you are right now, especially after TMZ broke the news that you're having trouble with your bosses..."
Duffy said with a smile: "For now, several teams such as the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, and Minnesota Timberwolves have chatted with me, and even the Sacramento Kings want to get you to try..."
Su Yang had the impression that all the teams mentioned by Duffy would change their head coaches in the new season, so he was not surprised.
Taylor went on to say: "They originally had their own coaching plans, but because you might jump out, they all decided to postpone it, just like LeBron had the possibility of leaving Cleveland last year, and those teams looking for big names are all waiting..."
"Me and LeBron face to face?"
Su Yang laughed out loud, "I still want to stay in the Thunder. Clayton and his bosses are pretty fucked, but Kevin Durant and his five guys are very good and respect me. I want to win with them." Get three consecutive championships, or even four consecutive championships or more.
Of course, I still have to take the money that should be taken. I will not save money for capitalists like Clayton, and I have to find a way to force them. "
When he first took office in Thunder, he encountered a crisis of trust and almost dismissed the get out of class. Su Yang also decided to stay because he liked the five young masters of Thunder. This time he re-signed the contract. He had to find a way to make the board of directors headed by the boss Clayton have scruples, so as not to be blind A few save money.
Especially Tyson Chandler will inevitably leave the Thunder, but don't sign a center like Perkins in the free market.
In other words, Su Yang's high salary also guarantees the status of the team, and he can have a say in signings and transactions.
If you give a friendly price and make the board of directors feel like that, or be kidnapped by reverse emotions, it's really not worth it.
"Of course, the extremely rare three-peat will allow you to enjoy permanent honor, and we support it [-]%."
Duffy said: "However, I suggest that the matter of jumping out of the contract be made public and make full use of the advantages of public opinion..."
Taylor continued: "Especially let the fans and players know, that's not mean, it's a common negotiating tool."
Su Yang nodded when he heard the words. In order to maintain the long-term profitability of the team, the Thunder's board of directors will definitely give priority to meeting the needs of fans and players. He has a good reputation among fans and players, and he will definitely be supported by a high salary. After careful consideration, it is necessary to disclose it.
Seeing that Su Yang nodded, Duffy said: "You don't need to tweet or disclose things that are public, we can just find someone to break the news. If fans ask, don't say it. Players can say it. Anyway, it's best not to announce your bottom line." .”
In the negotiation process, the bottom line is a very important criterion. If the negotiating party knows it in advance, it is easy to be at a disadvantage.
Su Yang's bottom line is that the Thunder Five is willing to make some concessions to coach the Thunder Five, but this cannot be clearly known to the board of directors headed by Clayton. He must first strive for an average salary of 1000 million US dollars according to the process long-term contract.
"Then let's talk about Plan B..."
Taylor said with a smile: "If you don't reach a contract extension with the Thunder in the end, you choose those teams first. We can prepare in advance to avoid the Thunder's tug-of-war. You have to know that other teams can't wait for you for a long time."
"I see…"
Su Yang nodded again. The Thunder can definitely use procrastination tactics to suppress wages. Once other teams confirm the head coach candidate, his market position will be reduced. After lack of competition, the Thunder can continue to play the emotional card. It is absolutely possible.
Negotiation is a process of mutual competition.
If Lei Ting only pays a very low salary in the end, then Su Yang can only keep the big one for a career worth tens of billions of dollars.
"The Rockets definitely don't consider..."
Su Yang blurted out, and continued after thinking for a long time: "Only consider the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. If the Los Angeles Clippers are willing to fire their coaches, we can also talk about it. Going to the Clippers is an excellent choice for me..."
Hearing Su Yang talk about the Clippers, Bill Duffy and Taylor were confused, but they didn't say anything to object, they just said they would do it.
The plan was decided just like that, and the three discussed for a while, and formally called Presti to quit the contract.
