NBA: I took over Yao Ming's body

After getting Paul, the Knicks management encountered another headache, how to deal with Dayao's contract.

Judging from Dayao's current performance, signing Dayao is a done deal.

But it is precisely because of Dayao's performance that other teams have seen his potential.

Among them, the Houston Rockets are the most active.

They have expressed their willingness to trade with the Knicks more than once, hoping to exchange Dayao, who should have belonged to them in 2002, with any reasonable bargaining chips!

But the Knicks went through untold hardships and finally got Dayao from the Raptors. How could they easily trade?

Moreover, now with the addition of Paul, the direction of the Knicks' reconstruction has been very clear, that is, to build a team around Dayao and will continue to equip him with strong helpers!

But there is no eternal loyalty in the league!

No one knows what will happen in the next second?

Maybe in the rookie season, Dayao will successfully fulfill his promise and advance and retreat with the Knicks.

But once the rookie contract is over, whether the Knicks can successfully renew Dayao's contract is another matter.

Even if they believe that Dayao's quality will definitely be consistent.

But it is better to be safe than sorry!

Before the contract is completely confirmed, everything is uncertain, which is obviously something New Yorkers don't want to see.

Therefore, they must take precautions before it happens, strive to work harder on the contract, and show more sincerity!

However, when New Yorkers were struggling with how to deal with Dayao's contract, the league had the first explosive news! The most expensive rookie contract in NBA history was born today.

The rumors came true. LeBron James signed a 7-year super rookie endorsement contract worth 90 million with the Nike team!

This number has exceeded the contracts of most stars in the league!

This made everyone sigh, how powerful the Nike team is!

However, compared to LeBron James, Dayao does not seem to be very popular with shoe dealers.

The topic of centers not selling shoes is still circulating among shoe brands in the league.

The Nike team, which gave LeBron 7 years and 90 million, also found Dayao as soon as possible.

However, the contract offered was only a pitiful 1.6 million for 4 years!

In other words, on average, the annual endorsement contract is only 400,000!

This made Yao Ming very angry, and also made the Chinese fans very angry!

Although Yao Ming did lose to LeBlanc in the draft, his performance in the Summer League was obvious to all.

Not only did he successfully suppress LeBlanc, he also led the Knicks to complete a 9-game winning streak and won the Summer League championship with a winning streak!

He averaged 32.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Although he did not have an official MVP, he was the most valuable player in the hearts of fans!

But now, Yao Ming, who performed so well, only received a one-year contract offer of 400,000 from the Nike team. Are you sure you are not kidding?

"I think our contract must be re-planned, at least starting with a million-dollar contract!"

Yao Ming expressed his thoughts to the Nike team.

"Man, this isn't a comedy show, are you sure you want to make a joke like this?"

"I think there is no need for us to talk anymore!"

After hearing Yao Ming's idea, the Nike team chose to give up without hesitation!

That's right, in their eyes, Yao Ming at this moment is not worth a contract offer of more than one million!

This made Yao Ming shake his head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, a scene in history was repeated at this moment.

Even though he has played a more amazing rookie performance than in history, it seems that he still cannot get the recognition of the Nike team!

You look down on me today, and I will be out of your reach tomorrow!

Yao Ming, who was rejected, did not feel that he had lost anything. On the contrary, he began to feel sorry for the Nike team.

He believed that with his own strength, he would definitely make a name for himself in the league!

Moreover, with the support of the Chinese market, he must have more unique conditions than other stars.

Center does not sell shoes?

That is for other people, but this view does not work for Yao Ming!

In this information age, Yao Ming's negotiations with Nike were soon known to other sneaker brands.

Similar to Nike, Adidas, which is also a giant in sneaker brands, did not show any sincerity.

A 2-year, 1 million sneaker contract, and an insulting offer appeared again!

This made Yao Ming quite angry, and he rejected the contract without hesitation.

However, not all brands are like this. Reebok still showed their sincerity and came up with a contract that matches Yao Ming's current worth! A

7-year, 50 million contract, plus 10% of Yao Ming's sneaker sales profit!

Similarly, this contract is very similar to the historical contracts in terms of offer.

The only difference is that Reebok did not propose the sales share at that time.

But with Yao Ming's performance in the summer league, Reebok believes that he deserves such affirmation at this moment.

More importantly, they hope to use Yao Ming to open up the powerful Chinese market!

Yao Ming was really moved by this contract.

But he did not agree to this matter directly.

He may be professional in playing basketball, but he does not seem to be good at contract endorsements.

So, he decided to find a trustworthy agent first and give him full authority to handle everything!

At this time, Bill Duffy took the initiative to come to the door!

Greed, cunning, shrewd, unscrupulous... I don't know since when, these dirty words have become Synonymous with agent.

However, there are also many people in the agent circle who are upright and can be called"good guys".

Bill Duffy is one of the representatives. He sincerely serves his players and even compensates his clients for losses out of his own pocket. He hopes that his players can also behave properly, so he has repeatedly rejected some players with bad records.

Yao Ming is not unfamiliar with this self-recommended agent. Even in his subjective consciousness, he hopes to be able to cooperate with him, just like in the past!

The meeting between the two this time was a perfect match. Yao Ming finally took a crucial step in the NBA.

With the support of Bill Duffy, Yao Ming has more expectations for the next team contract and sneaker contract.

I believe that no matter what, Bill will not let him down!

He will definitely give him and all the fans a satisfactory answer!
