Learning in the NBA can make you a god

"Lee, do you think that with such a lineup, the team can really win the championship?" Kobe asked, this lineup looks more and more shabby, how can it be possible to win the championship?
"If you can trade James, or you can trade Yao from the Knicks, even if you trade Chandler, it's not impossible, as long as you have the ability!"

Kobe left angrily. How could these guys trade over?

Let’s not talk about Yao Ming. The Knicks just traded you away. Now if they trade Yao Ming, will any superstars go to the Knicks in the future?Trading James, I think if you can really trade him, the team probably won't trade you.Trading Chandler is even more unthinkable. You are no longer in the Eastern Conference, and the Heat are just waiting to return to the Finals this season!

"Then tell me, who else can the team sign now?" Looking at the entire league, if any team is looking at a slightly famous player as a treasure and can trade with you, isn't that a joke?

"Okay, but"

"Go away, don't disturb my rest, I'm too tired from playing in the finals every year!"

After Kupchak returned to Los Angeles, he was not idle at all. He hurriedly started a new job.

In order to show his sincerity, he contacted these guys individually.

"Yang, the team needs a backup point guard now, I don't know about you." He was interrupted mid-sentence.

"No problem, what does the contract say?"

Hearing Nick Young's enthusiastic response, he didn't react for a moment and quickly said, "You know the one-year contract and the veteran's basic salary."

At this time, it is still necessary to explain, otherwise when the Lakers come, if they don't play well, the transaction will be really not easy!

"No problem, I agreed, and the team can sign the contract when."

After a few more brief exchanges, the call ended.

The same was true for the next few people, and the negotiation was relatively relaxed. This was because Kaman's contract was slightly higher, but he didn't have any objections to this. After all, Kaman's strength was still there, and it was really inappropriate to give it too low.

A week later, the Lakers held a press conference. They wanted to make six signings, most of which were one-year contracts. Kupchak also said intentionally or unintentionally that everything was to prepare for Li Tian's contract extension next season.

The Knicks signed the Lakers with a one-year veteran's minimum salary of 110 million per year; Livingston also signed with the Lakers with the same minimum salary of 130 million per year; Casspi signed a two-year contract with a team option of 220 million per year. Johnson's veteran base salary is 100 million a year; Kaman's highest contract is also a one-year contract of 310 million; rookie Kelly signed a rookie contract.

At this point, the Lakers lineup has been basically determined.

Guards: Kobe Bryant, Sun Yue, Livingston, Nick Young, Bazemore, Blake;

Forward: Li Tian, ​​Gasol, Danny Green, Casspi, Johnson;
Center: Kaman, Thackeray, Kelly.

There are 14 players in total. Except for Kobe, Li Tian and Gasol, most of the other player contracts are one-year minimum salary contracts.The Lakers' total salary has exceeded 1 million, but compared with the Heat, it is still a little behind.

The most important goal of the Lakers now is to improve the team's record while saving wages.

Curry is going crazy. His new sneaker contract has still not been negotiated. The contract offered to him by Hook is simply insulting.

"FUCK! They actually gave me such a low contract. The most important thing is that even the PPT they negotiated with me was someone else's, and they just changed the final sneaker contract quote.

Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for me to renew my contract with Gouzi! "

With such a contract, he would be really pissed off. There is no endorsement contract worthy of his worth, no signature shoes, no training camp, it can be said that he has nothing.

"Son, there is another sneaker dealer contacting you. Do you want to talk to him?" Dell Curry said.

He could see his child's anger, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Gouzi was a big company, and Curry's statistics were not that stable, and he had not yet become a superstar.

In the NBA, as long as you don't have the potential to become an All-Star or a superstar, it's really difficult to sign a decent endorsement contract. This is what Curry is like now.

"Get in touch. If that doesn't work, I'll go to Lucheng as soon as possible!" The voice was weak, obviously from shock.

I think my performance is no worse than players at the same position in the league, so why are I only willing to give myself a 250 contract?

Soon, Curry understood everything.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Seth Curry was finally freed from the misery. He was unsuccessful before, but he had signed a contract with the Kings a few days ago and officially joined the NBA. Although he was still regarded by his old I despise it, but at least I stood up.

"What can I do? It's an adult's business. Don't interrupt me, you little brat. What can you tell me?" He rolled his eyes at his brother and fell into deep thought again.

"Hmph, why don't I know? Isn't it because of the sneaker contract? Naihe gave you a 250 contract, and Under Armor gave you a 400 million contract. Which one are you still considering?"

Seth was also shaking his head, as if this thing was inherited.

"You naughty kid, who did you listen to?" You're so angry. The contract issue was already enough to cause trouble, but this naughty brother is also doing it yourself. "Dad said, Stephen, have you forgotten that Li has always invited you to endorse his sneakers? You can ask and see what kind of contract he can offer before making a decision.

Anyway, Gouzi will only give you 250. Ask Li, maybe he will give you more, but I know that he has not invited you once! " Seth's words made Curry understand a lot.

"Then I'll just go and ask. I happen to have to go there to train. Hey, I have to send money to Li again. I wonder if my endorsement contract can be more!"

I made up my mind, and after telling my family, I flew directly to Lucheng. There was no other way. This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. It was best not to affect my new season.

This season's Warriors hope to make a further step in the playoffs. When the Lakers disintegrated, he was still very excited, but now that they have quickly completed their reconstruction with a trade, it feels scary to think about it.

With a sad mood, he came to Lucheng and went straight to Li Tian's home. He knew what price the new endorsement contract would give, and it all depended on the guy in front of him. Others were not as effective as others.

"Li, I" started to cry before he could say anything. This look of grief didn't look like an act.

Li Tian was stunned. What kind of trouble was going on? It was not a good thing for a big man to cry as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Stop, stop, primary school student, what are you doing?"

Pushing Curry away is telling the people around me that I really don’t know this guy with a sick mind, so get out of here!

"Li, you know, the new sneaker contract that Gouzi gave me is only 250."

When I mentioned 250, I burst into laughter. This number is so auspicious and fits Curry’s character at this time. Gou Company is so damn discerning.

"Don't laugh. I am discussing this issue with you very seriously. I feel your laughter is a bit scary."

Curry had no choice but to stop and wait for Li Tian to finish laughing before continuing, otherwise he would have to say it again after talking for a while.

"No, no, I'm laughing so hard. This endorsement contract really means you can continue, I won't laugh!"

"Then I will continue. The hook is only so much for one year. Under Armor's offer is 400 million per year, and the contract is for 4 years. Yes." After finally finishing the matter, Curry felt much more comfortable.

"Then do you want to hear about my endorsement contract? I have asked you to sign for my brand a long time ago, but you have always disagreed. Why do you think of me now? Do you regret it?"

Curry was not angry at being squeezed out by Li Tian, ​​but he still had some expectations in his heart, looking forward to what kind of endorsement contract he would be given.

"Li, what kind of endorsement contract can Anta give me?"

Curry knows that it is Li Tian's sub-brand. The signature sneakers they produce are good and the technology is mature in all aspects. He has every pair at home, and he usually wears them to play at home. The overall feeling is good.

"500 million a year, the endorsement fee will be higher than Under Armor. You also know that my company has just started, but I have signature sneakers, training camps, etc., but the training camp may There will be two, one in Beautiful Country and one in Tianchao Lucheng, so you may be a little busier."

"No problem, no problem. I signed this contract. Damn it. I will never wear their sneakers again. As long as the contract expires, we will sign it!"

Curry is so happy. Now that he has his signature sneakers, he can also wake up to the beauty of any bicycle. Without an endorsement contract, the price has increased, and his signature shoes can be released in advance.

"Curry, if you can confirm it now, I will ask the designer to start designing your signature shoes in advance. It will be available soon after the contract is signed."

As for what to do if Curry doesn't sign, it's unlikely that such a thing will happen, and now that he can't sign the agreement in advance, it seems too distrustful.

"No problem, I will go back to China now and tell them that I will not renew my contract and I will not sign with Under Armor. I will sign with your sub-brand."

I originally wanted to come to train, but now it doesn’t feel good either.

"Okay then, let's wait until it is announced to the public!"

Even if Curry returns to China, the Gou Company will reject the new contract draft without even raising an eyelid. Under Armor is also helpless and now they cannot continue to match it.

"Mr. Zhu, hurry up and prepare a contract. An endorsement contract. I'm already preparing to sign Warriors player Curry. I'm sure we can make a lot of money."

Mr. Zhu was also happy. He recognized Li Tian's vision.

After signing Li Tian, ​​he began to expand the market in the beautiful country. This is an indispensable operation. This year, there will be some Anta stores in major cities. That is to say, the logistics is too bad, otherwise the network will definitely be covered. .

"Okay, I'll prepare now. Where will we sign the contract then?" There is a big difference between domestic and foreign countries!

"Needless to say, of course it's in China, and I have to design signature shoes for him in advance. This is what I promised him, but don't be too anxious, just make some preparations in advance."

Just like that, I got everything in the library, started crying, and left happily!
