Chapter 216 (1/2)
45 million in three years. To be honest, the price is higher than link expected.
At first, link fancied that he could have an estimated 12 million a year. After all, this is 2011, the labor negotiations have not ended, the new sky high live broadcast contract has not been signed, and the wage cap of the alliance has not soared.
Link only remembers very clearly that when the warriors signed for igordala in 13 years, the contract was 48 million for four years. So, Iguodala at that time was 12 million a year.
Although igordala was not a superstar, the ”first brother” at that time was definitely a leader level player. Igordala averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.0 steals in the playoffs that season before moving to warriors! The data is better than link.
And igordala was 29 years old at the time, when he was playing. But Linko was younger than igordala at that time and had more room to rise than then, so it is no problem to get an estimate of 12 million in the case of data shortage.
Who knows, the grizzly bear actually offered a contract of 45 million in three years, which is a small surprise.
”Chris and I didn't want to sign with you. Because no one knows what will happen after the labor negotiations are over. If the salary cap goes up by then, you will definitely suffer a lot if you sign for 4 years now. Therefore, in order to show my sincerity, I am willing to sign with Grizzlies for three years. After three years, if everything goes well, I think they should come to see you with the top salary. ”
”Top salary...” link licked his lips, what a dream word, now it is only 3 years away from himself.
”I believe in your strength, just as I insisted at the beginning that you and Grizzlies only sign for one year. What happened? A year later, your value has increased ten times! Some people say it's safer to have a long contract, so that even if the players are not in good condition, they can get the full salary. Sign a short contract, if the player is not in good condition, the price will fall immediately. But you made me confident, link. What did you do this summer? Let the championship Dallas Mavericks almost collapse. I believe that after three years, you will not lose your job and your price will not fall. We can turn down any team except the top salary Austin has been sketching the future of link and himself. When he chose to be the manager of link, he had already fantasized about it.
But in reality, it's more smooth than Jeff Austin imagined!
”They may come to see me in a cash van.” Link said that, suddenly shut up.
The last person who said this has never seen a team give him a top salary in his life. Bad luck, bad luck...
”of course, all this is just a preliminary plan. Specifically, we have to wait until the labor and capital negotiations. I did what you asked, link. Make Grizzlies the number one signing target, and you can stay with Grizzlies for another three years. You don't have to worry about anything with me. The only thing you need to do is play well! You have played well this year. I believe the Grizzlies and you can have a better future in the future
”Thank you for your care, Mr. Jeff Austin.” Link suddenly felt very warm, sure enough, a good manager, can make a player's career twice the result with half the effort.
”By the way, link, did you just say you studied the 2011 draft? Yes? Are you also interested in the next star of the future? ”
”Well... Take a look. By the way, Mr. Austin, have you heard of Jimmy Butler Link suddenly came to a bad taste, want to listen to the current people's evaluation of the future superstar.
”Jimmy Butler? Damn it, you and Chris Wallace are watching this kid
”What do you say?” Link suddenly opened his mouth wide.
”Damn it.”
”Next sentence!”
”I said, your lovely general manager, Mr. Chris Wallace, told me about that guy named Jimmy Butler last time.” Austin's hand spread out in a daze.
