NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 67
"Yes, generally agree, they put forward some conditions."

"First of all, there is the issue of playing time. It is necessary to ensure more than 25 minutes of playing time."

"If they let it go and don't give them playing time and can't get opportunities to exercise, they don't think it's necessary to go."

"Secondly, there are health issues. Da Zhi needs to bring a physical therapist there, and the salary will be paid by you. If Da Zhi suffers from an injury, they can be recalled to the country at any time."

"Finally, there is the issue of the contract. They can only sign for one year. Maybe they are afraid that Big Zhi will be locked up."

"If the situation is not right, you can return to China at any time after one year."

Lao Yao told Kong Bu about the conditions of the basketball management center.

Kong Bu grinned, this condition is a bit too harsh.

The playing time must be guaranteed, the team must pay the salary of the physical therapist, and then the contract can only be signed for one year.

To be reasonable, if he is a serious draft player, Kumbu will definitely let him roll as far as he can, even if he is a sure-fire future All-Star.

However, Da Zhi's situation is special after all, and Kong Bu also knows that these conditions are definitely not what Da Zhi himself requested.

The conditions mentioned by the basketball management center can be understood after careful consideration. They are not afraid of [-] yuan, just in case, and they don't want Dazhi to have an injury that will affect his career.

After pondering for a while, Kong Bu made up his mind. Although the conditions were harsh, it might be good to sign the contract, and he needed a bicycle.

If you don't sign, it will be difficult for Stern to explain.

Asking Lao Yao to tell him that he agreed to the conditions proposed by the other party, Kong Bu then directly called Old Thomas.

"Yo, isn't this our President?"

"With so much limelight these days, Pat Riley can't do anything about you, but he still wants to call me. I'm really flattered."

Old Thomas was very much like an old lady who was alone in her boudoir, complaining that men neglected her.

A few days ago, he lashed out at Gentry because of Kongbu, thinking that Kongbu should buy some small gifts to honor him, but he didn't even receive a call.

"Mr. Vice President, I have something serious to talk about."

"Regarding Mr. Stern's instructions."

Kong Bushun also teased the position of the old Thomas. He is actually the helm of the Raptors, but his position is only the vice president.

"Stern's instructions?"

"That's right, he wants to open up the Tianchao market, so he entrusted me with this job."

"Let me choose a Chinese player and bring it to the Raptors for training. You should draw up a one-year contract as soon as possible."

Old Thomas was dumbfounded, and he immediately understood why Stern favored Comb.

Stern had also heard about the matter of going to heaven to pretend to be his grandson before. This matter has been widely circulated. After all, who doesn't want to hear about the embarrassing stories of NBA tyrants.

"Only for one year?"

"At that time, Stephen's contract was only signed for two years, and I regret it now."

"No, this contract must be signed for four years!"

Old Thomas is not stupid, he knows that this is the player chosen for Stern, how bad can it be?
Wu Sheng was a second-round pick at the time. After Kongbu selected him, Thomas Sr. took over the signing of the contract and gave Wu Sheng a two-year contract. The second year was still non-guaranteed.

If the four-year contract was signed at that time, it would mean that the Raptors could prostitute Wu Sheng for two more years.

"Do you think I don't want to sign for four years? They don't want to."

Combe had no choice but to inform Old Thomas of the conditions proposed in China.

The seemingly harsh conditions made old Thomas ponder.

How powerful a newcomer must be to dare to raise such harsh conditions?The old man likes to think wildly. He thinks a little too much. He thinks that the other party is too strong and thinks highly of himself, so he raises this condition.

"You said he's 7-foot-1 and has a decent free-for-all offense?"

"Yes."

The old Thomas was instantly happy, 7 feet 1 inch or 216 centimeters, the same height as David Robinson, and with the ability to attack independently, isn't this the proper second-generation admiral?
No wonder he dared to mention such a condition.

"Sign, sign immediately, sign anything you say!"

"The annual salary of 1300 million US dollars this season will be discussed next season!"

Old Thomas is going crazy with joy. It is true that there will be no pies in the sky, but an admiral will fall!

When he played against the Spurs Twin Towers before, he was extremely greedy.

Ao Jr. claims to be Duncan Jr., but in all aspects, he basically looks like a slightly weakened and severely crispy version of Duncan.

Now that there is another Admiral II, doesn't it mean that the Raptors will also have the Spurs Twin Towers?

It's still a younger version of the Spurs Twin Towers.

Coupled with the strong outside lineup of the Raptors, what kind of Bull Dynasty, it will be smashed for you.

Combe wondered if he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations.

If he heard correctly, Thomas Old said that he would give a one-year contract of 1300 million?

"How much fake wine did you drink? 1300 million? Pippen's salary this year is only 278 million!" Combe suspected that the old Thomas drank too much.

"Pippen? He is in a special situation, and he is an outsider. Why should he compare his salary with an insider?"

Comb even thought that old Thomas was possessed by the old bone crusher Unseld, otherwise how could he say such a thing as an outside player.

Hear this is called human talk?
"And we still have a salary difference of 1300 million from the poor ghost line this season."

"The money is not spent. At the end of the season, it has to be distributed to all the players. You want to distribute the money to players whose names you can't even call?"

Kong Bu was choked and speechless.

Regardless of the fact that the Raptors currently have only eight core rotation players, three on the inside, four on the front and back, and one point guard, Snow.

But the Raptors' roster is a solid 15 people, and the remaining seven are leftovers brought in by Old Thomas at the time.

Daben has already renewed a large contract in advance, McGrady has a sneaker contract in hand, Xiao Ao is destined to be a top-salary player, Wu Sheng and Bao Wenming will be able to renew their contracts next year, Snow is now in the third grade, and he is also eligible to renew early next year about.

It is equivalent to saying that the core lineup of the Raptors is not bad for the hundreds of thousands of dividends.

The old Thomas meant that he didn't want the seven leftovers to take advantage of it for nothing. He never thought that these players were recruited by himself.

"That's not okay, it's too ostentatious."

Kumbu still felt that it was inappropriate. You must know that Dazhi is an undrafted draft pick at this time. An undrafted rookie earned 1300 million in his rookie season. No one would believe it when he said it.

No. 4 in the league salary list this season is O'Neal, and his salary is 1286 million.

In other words, if Big Zhi really signs this contract, his salary will directly squeeze out O'Neal and rank fourth in the league.

His salary will directly surpass that of O'Neill, Admiral, Mourning, Olajuwon, Uncle Huo, Uncle Mu, Webber...

It doesn't matter to others, the key is O'Neill.

With this guy's temperament, after knowing that Da Zhi's salary is higher than his own, he will definitely buckle him so hard that his head is smashed.

"Zhang Yang?"

"You even feel arrogant?"

"Don't say anything, it's settled like this, let them contact me quickly, within a week, I want to see him join the team."

Old Thomas didn't give Combe a chance to speak at all, and hung up the phone directly.

Kong Bu was dumbfounded, what should I do!
If it is said that Dazhi is powerful, then it is fine. Although 1300 million is a lot, considering many factors such as age and the Chinese market, it is still acceptable.

The problem now is that Big Zhi is not strong enough.

The shooting ability is good, so it can only be said to be good, not at the top level of the league.

Kumbu is not good at low-post offensive ability. He should have no problem with his footwork. After all, the chasing boy should not have much strength, and it is easy to suffer when playing low-post.

The rebounding ability is not good, and the inside defensive ability is not much better than the rebounding ability.

Conceived as a crime, without the strength to match the salary, it will either become a joke of the entire league, or it will become a thorn in the eyes of all players.

"Is it really necessary to use a blank template card?"

Kong Bu was extremely reluctant, but he couldn't let him watch Dazhi become a joke or a thorn in his side.
