Chapter 683 $2 million contract
Chapter 683 [-] Million Dollar Contract
After making up his mind, Su Yang called Hinkie to the office again, bluntly saying that he reserved a spot and was going to sign Ross in the free market.
"We want to pursue Derrick Rose, but now we only express our intention, don't discuss it in depth, and don't discuss it immediately after the free market starts. Wait until all other point guards in the free market are about to sign, and then contact his agent..."
During the conversation, Su Yang briefly explained why he signed Ross.
First of all, and the most important reason, Rose has stronger strength than the equally famous Deron Williams, Jose Calderon and others. If he can successfully sign the contract, he will be a strong supplement to the king's point guard position. , can share the pressure for Curry during the long season, and can also prepare in advance. The main reason is that Thomas Jr. may leave and go to other teams to pursue big contracts and leadership positions, so as to avoid being too late to prepare and have to sign. A point guard like Ennis.
As long as there's a reason to truce against some idiot like Monroe, so Rose doesn't get hurt again, the signing is definitely worth it.
Secondly, Rose can sign with a basic salary and will not calculate the salary space, which can not only save luxury taxes, but also facilitate other operations.
You can give more money, but it’s better to sign a two-year or three-year long-term contract, but Rose is probably not willing to accept a long-term contract with a low salary. A one-year low salary is the best choice for both parties. Re-enter the free market in pursuit of high salaries.
Just can't contact Ross now or rush.
The main reason is that Ross still has spirit at the moment and will not easily accept the basic salary, and his agent BJ Armstrong is a hardcore bastard, and he will definitely not accept the basic salary for the time being. They have to wait until they find that no one wants to believe that Ross can recover. .
If Su Yang told Rose directly that no one is interested in you in the free market, everyone thinks that your injury is too serious to recover completely, and you can only play with your old enemy LeBron, then Rose will definitely call Su Yang crazy, Leave far away.
It was just that, awkward and real.
Su Yang is happy to see the roses re-open, but he also has to consider his own interests, so he can only do the right thing at the right time.
"Okay, since you are optimistic that Derrick Rose can fully recover, I unconditionally believe in your decision..."
Hinkie nodded and turned to ask: "If Thomas chooses to leave, then we are still short of a point guard.
The candidate I am currently targeting is Gary Payton II. He currently has a two-year non-guaranteed contract with the Bucks.
And I got the news before that he is very likely to be laid off in the off-season. He has excellent physical fitness and strong tactical understanding. He is good at defending and passing the ball. Inside, we can cover up the shortcomings and only play the advantages. After all, our other players' scoring ability is overflowing, and we need to improve our defense. "
Su Yang nodded after listening. If Thomas Jr. chooses to leave, then Gary Payton is indeed an excellent candidate.
It's just that Gary Payton, as an undrafted pick, still has a long way to go if he wants to play steadily, so it's better to prepare for it for the time being.
"Then proceed according to your plan. Even if Thomas Jr. doesn't leave, he can sign Gary Payton II, and then put it in the development league reserve to prevent accidents. If we don't get Rose, we can try in advance..."
I have never worried about Hinkie's ability to handle affairs. Anyway, the general direction is to control it by myself, and the small things are completely delegated.
Otherwise, everything is decided by oneself, not only exhausted, Xinji feels that he is just executing, and he will inevitably feel bored.
"The other two positions, the second substitute for the power forward, and the first substitute for the small forward, do you have any candidates in mind?" Hinkie asked again, the expression on his face seemed to have prepared suggestions, just out of habit, Prepare to let Su Yang speak first.
Su Yang saw his eyesight, and directly raised his hand to signal, "Not yet, you can talk about it first, we will discuss it now."
"How about Jeff Green?
The player you once coached in the Thunder can play both positions of power forward and small forward, and can fully understand your tactical thinking. He played 69 games for the Magic last season, averaging 9.4 points, 1.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.
But the shooting efficiency is a career low, only 39.4%. In addition to the potential hidden dangers of heart problems, he is currently extremely uncompetitive in the free market. After investigation, our scouts believe that the main reason for his poor performance is that he was poorly placed by the Magic and Wolverine. Coach Geer puts too much emphasis on defensive drag, and his real strength is enough to be a 3D player, or even a support player, and he is expected to sign with a basic salary.
In short, he is very suitable for our current needs. "
Su Yang nodded again and again, and then said: "It's totally feasible. As a risk, he may be more popular than Ross. You can contact him in advance, but it's best not to use my name directly. Give him enough respect. That guy is a Tough guy."
If you sign Jeff Green with a basic salary, plus Tatum in the draft, and Covington and Dorian, who are already in the lineup, the Kings have four candidates for the small forward position, and the lineup will be more flexible and convenient to meet Various needs.
"If Derrick Rose and Jeff Green are counted into the roster, there are a total of 14 people, and there are only two power forwards and shooting guards in the strict sense. Do you think that position needs to be supplemented by a player for preparation?"
Su Yang thought about it.
The current commonly used players at power forward are Antetokounmpo and Grant. The currently commonly used players at the shooting guard position are Brogdon and LaVine. The four young people are actually quite durable. The biggest, the free market is looking for a shooting guard to reserve, which should be the best direction, after all, Jeff Green can go to the power forward.
"Find a backup shooting guard. I worry that Brogdon's injury risk is high as an older rookie. What about you?"
"I also think that finding a backup shooting guard is the best option, but the candidate I am currently targeting is difficult to sign with a basic salary. Even if a high salary is used to sign, the playing time may not be guaranteed. It will feel that it is not cost-effective, so it is difficult to determine."
Hinkie handed over a roster, mostly shooting guards in free agency, with some short contracts.
Su Yang took it and glanced at it roughly, and found that it was what Hinkie said. The shooting guard he was looking at could not be signed with a low salary or a basic salary. The salary cap for next season will rise again. The low-paid boxing champion James Johnson will also sign a four-year $4 million contract with the Heat, which can be regarded as the price Riley paid for cheating Wade.
"Forget it, I can't let me enjoy all the benefits. First get Curry's contract, and then LaVine, Cousins, and Grant's early contract extensions. If there is room at that time, we will see if there is any." Players want to come to our team…”
The work of the king's off-season draft and free market is very difficult, but the work related to the contract renewal of the four players in the team will definitely be more difficult. Not only will it take a lot of time to negotiate, but also have to make key decisions, which really makes Su Yang a headache .
Thinking of the contract renewal issue, the idea of using the $1950 million in salary space to operate before disappeared in an instant.
"How should Curry's contract be negotiated? I mean it must be a 30% maximum salary signing, mainly related to incentive clauses, which will also occupy salary space and may affect our subsequent signings and transactions. Do you want to give them all top-level treatment? "
Curry signed a 14-year contract with the Kings in 4. This offseason, he can skip the player option and re-enter the free market. The Kings have the bird rights and can renew the contract. There is no doubt that the contract will be renewed with a maximum salary, but as Hinkie said, Curry is definitely eligible to enjoy various incentive terms, and the specific amount will affect the follow-up.
"It doesn't matter, he doesn't care about the three consecutive MVPs, he directly gives him player options, and the right to trade veto can also be given, but he has not played for the Kings for more than 4 seasons, does not meet the rules of the trade veto, and promises to sign another five years in the next contract ..."
"That should be about $5 million in five years, the first $2.01 million contract in NBA history, big news."
"Curry brings high commercial value, it's worth it."
During the conversation, the two discussed the negotiation direction of Cousins, LaVine, and Grant, but they have not made a decision yet. After all, although the salary cap next season is as high as 1.01 million US dollars, Curry and Antetokounmpo will occupy nearly 5700 million US dollars. , Cousins and Thomas Jr. occupy nearly 3000 million U.S. dollars, plus Covington and LaVine nearly 2000 million U.S. dollars, which has exceeded the upper limit.
That is still based on the calculation after George’s trade, and there is no statistics on players such as Nance Jr. and Tatum who is about to be selected. Anyway, it will be a headache. The intentions of the key Cousins, LaVine, and Grant are not clear, so we can only take a step. step.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of the draft came. Su Yang and Xinji set off for New York together.
