Chapter 281
Su Yang called and explained that he would jump out of the contract. Presti replied that he would join the to-do list immediately, mainly because he had to prepare for the championship parade first, and the draft will be held soon. This time the task is relatively heavy. I hope you can understand.
That statement is reasonable.
After all, negotiating a new contract is by no means a one-day job, and it is impossible to stop all work and focus on the contract first.
Just like the Rockets’ new boss and D’Antoni negotiated a new contract in advance, the two sides released news to the media, and it took two weeks to get the matter done. It was just a decision not to renew the contract. more time.
Su Yang was not surprised, and after hanging up the phone, he instructed Taylor to announce the news of his withdrawal from the contract and contact ESPN directly.
In just 10 minutes, ESPN simply pushed the news that he had jumped out of the contract through TV news and official Twitter.
But that did not cause too much discussion. Many fans left comments, thinking that Su Yang jumped out of the contract this time, just like Nowitzki announced that he would jump out of the contract. He will definitely re-sign with the Mavericks. Contracts.
However, some fans suggested that their team should fight for Su Yang.
Timberwolves fans tweeted Aite Suyang, saying that the Timberwolves players are talented and the future can be expected. The absolute main player Love has a strong three-point potential, which perfectly fits with his dynamic offense in the wheel series. He can reach the playoffs in one year. The year won the championship.
Rockets fans also tweeted Aite Su Yang, hoping that Su Yang would come to Houston to coach, and also invited Yao Ming to participate in the recruitment, continue to build the Chinese home team Houston Rockets, let Yao Ming realize his dream of a championship, and make the expectations of Chinese Rockets fans come true.
Well-known Warriors fan Daniel Wu even publicly called out Su Yang, saying that there are so many Chinese in the San Francisco Bay Area, and where to coach is like returning home. Anyway, Su Yang’s company is also in Silicon Valley, which can kill two birds with one stone, and the key warriors are also full of talents.
For a while, there were thousands of tweets wishing their home team to get Su Yang on Twitter, including the Miami Heat.
Only the Lakers fans were particularly stubborn and did not speak much. Among them, the rapper 'Naughty Dog' even tweeted: "The great Los Angeles Lakers don't need that guy. As long as we stay healthy, we will always be the favorites to win the championship."
Su Yang just read all kinds of discussions.
In the twinkling of an eye on NO.19, the Thunder held a grand championship parade in Oklahoma City. Starting from the Ford Center, they made a large circle to the Municipal Park. Along the way, tens of thousands of fans lined the road to welcome them. The players took turns to give speeches, and Su Yang made the last speech as usual.
"I want to thank all the players who have joined the team since last year's summer league. Without your efforts, we could not have achieved this great achievement. Here I promise you that we will continue to impact next year!"
In line with the habit of making promises only when he is sure of eight points, Su Yang did not dare to guarantee that he will be able to achieve a three-game winning streak. First, he does not know the final negotiation results of the contract, and it is really difficult to win three consecutive championships. Salary space, player intentions and health status All are great challenges.
The team once again contracted a private estate to celebrate that night, but it was just a thank-you dinner to meet sponsors and celebrities from all walks of life.
During the dinner, the mayor of Oklahoma City held Su Yang's hand cordially, saying that Su Yang is the best coach in the league, and that Oklahoma City must be led by Su Yang if it wants to become a city with three consecutive championships like Chicago and Los Angeles. As long as the team succeeds in the end, it is not only Su Yang's personal victory, but also a representative of Chinese or Asian Americans in Oklahoma City, or even Chinese Americans all over the world.
Su Yang instinctively disliked such an emotional kidnapping full of political rhetoric, and smiled and did not respond.
In the early morning of NO.20 the next day, with only four days left before the draft, Su Yang decided to act.
Mainly, the Thunder has a late first-round pick. Although the management headed by Presti is not optimistic about Jimmy Butler, the older rookie Bojan Bogdanovic is worth choosing, as is Chandler Parsons. Second round of quality candidates.
He drove a Volvo to the training base, went straight to Presti's office, and gave advice directly.
"This European player named Bojan has a very high basketball IQ and is particularly good at three-pointers, especially shooting from the corners on both sides. Although he looks thin, he has good body coordination and excellent speed. His technical characteristics are similar to Peja. Stojakovic, he has a very low forecast and is very likely to fall to the second round. I recommend using the first round pick to select him..."
"There is also Chandler Parsons, who also has a very high basketball IQ, comprehensive technical characteristics, likes to run without the ball and is good at using screens. He's very strong right now, and he's a great addition to us, making up for the departure of Barnes and Livingston and others..."
After Su Yang finished speaking, Presti shook his head slightly: "We have decided on the option, the key is that we have not tried the two players you mentioned, of course, if things change, we will seriously consider you suggestion…"
"All right…"
Su Yang didn't force it, guessing that Presti should still want to choose a point guard like Reggie Jackson. It is estimated that he became famous for discovering Parker in the early years, and he has a different attitude towards ball-handling players than other general managers. Distinguish vision.
In terms of his performance in the first few years of his career, Reggie Jackson is indeed comparable to Bojan and Parsons.
But Su Yang thought about it again, since the rookie chose to finish the relevant matters, shouldn't it be discussed about the contract.
After thinking about it again and again, Su Yang didn't ask. First, it was out of respect for Presti's professionalism and character. Second, Presti probably couldn't make the decision. He left the office after a few chats and drove directly. Van returns to the apartment.
Assistant Taylor called Su Yang at noon, saying that the Rockets and the Cavaliers have basically withdrawn from the competition, mainly because they are unwilling to give such a high annual salary contract, thinking that even if they win the championship, it is not worth it. If the price is lowered to 500 million per year, it can be reconsidered.
Su Yang didn't think it was a pity at all. He didn't want to go to those two lousy places, so he simply asked Taylor to investigate and report again.
It was Taylor who reminded him that there is no hope of reaching a conclusion of labor negotiations at present, and the lockout is imperative. The contract-related matters should be settled as soon as possible.
Su Yang felt that it made sense, and immediately instructed Taylor to urge Presti, not to delay.
Early the next morning, the Timberwolves announced the signing of Rick Adelman as the team's new head coach.At noon, the Rockets announced the signing of McHale as the team's new head coach, and the Raptors subsequently announced the signing of Dwayne Casey as the team's new head coach.
In one day, the three teams officially announced the new head coach.
Many fans speculated that it was not a coincidence, there should be something behind the scenes to reach an agreement, these teams reacted one after another, and soon some people speculated that Su Yang should stay with the Thunder, and the other teams had no hope, so they decisively announced the backup.
Su Yang saw that comment, but after Taylor communicated with Presti, he got the news that the board of directors was still studying it.
That kind of operation is obviously to lower the price, especially when the three teams officially announce the new head coach.
Su Yang discussed with Taylor and Bill Duffy for a while, and decided to put pressure on the outside world by releasing the news that the Thunder had delayed the contract extension.
As expected, only half an hour after the news was released, Thunder's sales department rang off the phone.
Thunder fans were very dissatisfied with the management's approach, but soon a well-known reporter broke the news that Su Yang's new contract demanded tens of millions of dollars in contract and dividends, and the Thunder would increase their time to study the feasibility without intentional delay.
Seeing someone saying that he asked for a dividend share, Su Yang laughed out loud on the spot. Isn't this the trick of Black Leonard?
Telling lies mixed with truth, deliberately using lies that are difficult for ordinary people to accept, and forcibly shifting the focus of the discussion is really clever.
But for a while, it was unclear which party released the fake news, and Su Yang didn't react more, lest the other party continue to make up nonsense, such as team shares, super-large mansions, private jets, sightseeing yachts, etc. things.
On the contrary, there are many fans who don't know the truth, and they all accuse Suyang Lion of talking too much and not being grateful.
In the early morning of the 22nd, Su Yang finally received a counter-offer from the Thunder: an annual salary of 500 million US dollars, a total of three years of contract.
Taylor rushed to the apartment to discuss and said very angrily: "This is a completely insulting offer, I want to question them!"
Su Yang was not angry, but thought it was a bit funny. How could he be like Tyronn Lue? The championship coach suffered such contempt. The key person Tyronn Lue went to interview the Lakers, and he could still get an offer of 800 million for three years. Not that exaggerated.
"I thought they wanted to lower the price, and then they didn't want to bear a bad reputation, so they deliberately delayed the contract negotiation..." Su Yang sighed, "Now they don't want to go back to continue coaching at all, so they just give an offer that is almost unacceptable..."
Before the words fell, Taylor slapped his thigh and hurriedly raised the phone: "The reporter who spread the rumor that you asked for shares just tweeted that the Thunder thinks that you are only enjoying the powerful bonus of the Thunder Five and Chandler. ..."
Su Yang took the phone and looked at it carefully, and immediately understood.
According to the person who broke the news, several bosses of the Thunder’s board of directors think that Su Yang only enjoys the Thunder’s super player bonus, as well as the management’s excellent free agent operation and Chandler’s perfect deal. They think that Su Yang has a level, but they have not made a decision As a result, the absence of the Western Conference finals due to a concussion, the Thunder still swept the Spurs 4-0, and the lack of Chandler in the finals still won the championship, which is the best proof that another coach can win the championship. In addition, Su Yang often goes against the wishes of the bosses. Unanimous decision not to renew.
"It seems that they are not at ease, afraid that my head will get hot, and I will accept the three-year contract of 500 million yuan..."
Su Yang chuckled: "Tweeting temporarily, a combination of punches will completely block the possibility of me returning to Thunder."
Taylor asked: "How can you be sure that the source of the whistleblower's information is Thunder's board of directors? Could it be a contract worth tens of millions of dollars?"
Su Yang smiled and waved his hand: "That's not important. The three-year offer of 500 million US dollars has already explained everything. They have their choice, and I have my persistence. We have admired each other, worked hard together, and achieved success. No regrets.
As for the future, life has dreams, and each is wonderful! "
