I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 237 The Blame Man (Fourth)
After all, the business league still depends on money, especially for ordinary players.

The window period for them to make money is only 4 to 10 years. After passing this village, there is really no such shop.

Youth is no longer coming, so you can get a big contract, get a big contract as much as possible, otherwise you will regret it in the future.

Although the Spurs' four-year salary of 1400 million is less than the Clippers' two-year average salary of 2 million, the total amount is large after all, and Texas taxes are low.

If he wants to go to Los Angeles, Bonner has to consider a series of issues such as moving and re-purchasing.

It's a pity that his drawer of restaurant coupons will also be voided, so Bonner weighed the pros and cons, and with Popovich's sincere persuasion, he is willing to stay in the Spurs.

However, when the agent told him that the Clippers had increased the contract to 4 million in four years, Bonner knew there was nothing to hesitate.

The contract period is the same, with an extra salary of 600 million, there is no reason for Bonner not to go.

Bonner had considered tax issues before, and 2 million in two years was not attractive enough for him.

Because for NBA stars with annual salary of millions or tens of millions, taxation is terrible.

Federal tax plus state tax takes at least half of the income.

Take California, which has high taxes, as an example, the federal tax is 33%, the state tax is 11%, and the third-party custody fee is 10%, broker fees, pension fees, all of which have been deducted by at least 55%.

Therefore, if Bonner goes to the Clippers, he will theoretically get 500 million cash in two years.

The tax rate in Texas is much lower, and the sum of all items is about 46%. If you stay with the Spurs, you can theoretically get 750 million.

And after playing for the Clippers for two years, he has to consider the contract issue, so Bonner naturally has doubts.

However, 4 million in four years is different. He can theoretically get 2000 million, which is 900 million more.

Of course, according to the actual situation, this money will be more, because the players' tax payment is not directly deducted according to their annual salary.

Instead, according to the weekly salary, how many games you played this week, and where you played the game, the money will be deducted according to the state tax rate here.

Therefore, half of the salary of the players is paid at home, and half of the salary is paid according to the location of the away game.

In this way, there are many places with higher tax rates than Texas and lower than California.

Therefore, Bonner's actual salary in the Clippers is higher than 900 million. After all, there are not many places that are higher than California taxes.

In the case of the Spurs, the salary he got must be much lower than 750 million, because there are no places with lower taxes than Texas.

For these things, Bonner, who usually considers discounts and discounts when buying clothes, naturally knows very clearly.

Bonner couldn't refuse the price difference of 200 million and the wage difference of about 25%.

When you think about it this way, the various benefits of going to Los Angeles emerge.

For example, although moving is troublesome, real estate in Los Angeles is also expensive.

But real estate is not only consumption but also home ownership.

Right now is the low period of American real estate.

Going to a hot housing market like Los Angeles can buy a good house at a bargain price.

Playing in Los Angeles for four years, it would be best if I could continue to play here. If not, the real estate would be sold, and I might earn more money than my salary.

Thinking of this, Bonner has already started to get excited, what coupons, discount cards, go to TM.

After all, he is a person who has a child. Which father doesn't want the best for his child?
Higher wages will provide better education for children in Los Angeles in the future.

This was no longer the last straw that broke the camel's back. A haystack flew down and smashed the camel flat.

When Popovich heard the Clippers' four-year 4 million offer, he knew there was no room for turning around.

It is impossible for the Spurs to pay more salary space for Bonner, because they still have to sign Ginobili.

As the core of the team, Ginobili will only give him a three-year contract of 3 million yuan this year.

Bonner worth half of Manu's price?
In the end, Popovich could only say goodbye to Bonner, wishing him a bright future in Los Angeles.

When I left, I was cursing the Clippers and Smart in my heart, thinking what the **** Smart wants to do?

Before the Cavaliers signed Danny Green, Popovich was very angry. He has always been optimistic about this guard.

I feel that this young man has potential for development. Anyway, the knight's vision is poor, so he just sneaked here to cultivate it.

Unexpectedly, the Cavaliers did not know who listened to the advice, and directly renewed the contract with Danny Green.

Let the efforts of Popovich and the Spurs scouts who have been tracking for half a season be in vain.

Later, I learned from Leon Rose that it seemed that LeBron had Smart's guidance.

Well now, the Clippers have increased the price of another contract and snatched Bonner away.

It seems that these two players are ordinary, but for the Spurs, such cost-effective players are their goals.

It is difficult for them to catch big fish in the free market, so they need to tap the potential of the bench and cultivate cost-effective players.

Well now it's all yellow, all because of that Smart!

You want us to die, don't you!
On the way back, Popovich grew more and more angry.

Call the Clippers general manager's office directly.

But after calling for a while, no one answered.

He remembered, the Los Angeles Clippers seemed to be on vacation after July 7?

Therefore, the agent must have contacted Smart directly on the mobile phone.

Popovich looked through the address book, but couldn't find Min Congda's cell phone number.

In a panic, Popovich thought of Dunleavy.

He has always been the coach and general manager, and he has a part in player transactions and signings.

So Popovich called Dunleavy's cell phone.

"Hello, Mike Dunleavy, is that Greg? What's up..."

"The management of the Clippers are all lunatics! Crazy! Pests! What the hell are you trying to do? Why do you do this kind of thing that hurts others? Mike, do you have a problem with your brain? You are still confused, give Bonner 2000 Wan's contract! What are you planning, tell me, what are you planning!"

Popovich yelled at the phone, and Dunleavy was confused.

Who did I provoke in my RNM?In the summer, my son and grandson and I have a good vacation at home and don't care about anything.

Why do you rely on me for everything?I am no longer the general manager of the Clippers!
I didn't give Bonner's contract either!Who will give that kind of player a 2000 million contract.

"Hey Greg...beep beep..."

Dunleavy still wanted to explain that Popovich had already hung up the phone.

Lao Deng was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He knew he couldn't bear it anymore.

He is a well-known figure in the NBA anyway, and Bird, Riley, and Popovich are all old acquaintances.

Although everyone has been rivals on the court all year round, the relationship off the court is still harmonious, at least to save face.

It's all right now, he was scolded twice in three days and took the blame for Min Congda's operation. He strongly hoped that Min Congda would announce his mobile phone number to all the general managers.

He called Min Congda.

"Hi Smart, this is Mike..."

"No time, let alone hang up... beep beep..."

Mike Dunleavy almost recited it. Fortunately, his son called the family doctor in time at home and rescued him.

After waking up, Dunleavy knew that if he continued to be the coach of the Clippers, he might not live long.
