Super Role Player

Anxi and Abby got home on the front foot and the back foot. Abby also went to the game site today, but as a reporter at the scene, Abby did not have much interview tasks.

Because the ESPN commentary of this game, Craig Sagel is a commentator who likes to interview him. During the break of this game, Craig Sagel personally interviewed Kevin McHale and Popovich. , So Abby was not too busy.

Abby came back early, Anxi didn't go out to fool around, but started fooling around at home, and the mystery was beyond words.

But at night, Anxi's phone rang after the fool.

After picking it up in a daze, Anxi heard a familiar voice: "De Juan?"

Anxi sat up: "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing DeJuan Blair's introduction on the phone, Anxi sighed, then glanced at Abby who was already asleep, Anxi said helplessly, "Well, wait for me."

It turned out that DeJuan Blair and the other three, who had been clubbing late at night, were arrested by the police station because they were making trouble with fans. Now they are waiting for bail in the police station.

DeJuan Blair called An Xi, and An Xi said in his heart that he didn't know Blair so well. Why did he call him? There was a burst of doubt in his heart.

But since the call came, Anxi had to go. Before going there, Anxi still called Manu to ask for advice about this matter, whether to tell Popovich, after all, this matter is not too small, Anxi I feel that the handling of this matter needs the guidance of Manu, an old man.

"Ann, there is no need to tell Greg about this, he will always know, and I don't think you need to go to the police station to protect them personally, so I will let my agent go."

So, Anxi didn’t have to go. The most important thing was that he had just put on his clothes. You know, in December, it’s winter, and he wears clothes one by one. It’s troublesome to wear and take off...

But finally there was no need to brave the cold winter wind to save the three of DeJuan Blair, and Anxi fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Anxi got up early. Someone once asked: Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four in the morning? Anxi back: No, but I have seen San Antonio at four o'clock in the morning.

Yes, Anxi wakes up at four in the morning, wakes up early and goes to bed early, it is Anxi who is full of energy.

Anxi started training early, and then went to the training hall when the time came.

After the game, the atmosphere in the training hall was always not warm, but today's training hall, the atmosphere was even worse, almost everyone was silent, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal had the incident.

After a while, Popovich walked in, followed by DeJuan Blair and Gary Neil. Obviously, Popovich had just talked to these two people.

"Well, let me announce that for the remaining games in December, DeJuan and Gary will be suspended from the team."

Popovich announced the decision calmly, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neil had no expressions on their faces, and Anxi was still wondering that after being suspended, there was no frustration at all.

Later, Anxi learned that in the Spurs, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal had violated the Spurs' ban this time. Popovich must have talked to them and was ready to trade them.

The team began a day of training, and R.C. Buford also came to the training hall.

"Greg, what, do you really want to trade?" Buford was straightforward. "DeJuan and Gary are in good condition and strength?"

Popovich just returned to the office, he sat down in his boss chair: "So what? They are no longer suitable for staying in San Antonio. San Antonio does not need such players, and from a competitive point of view, they are not that important. ."

Buford then nodded: "Well, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Popovich raised his head: "By the way, how about Anxi's contract renewal talks."

Speaking of this, Buford frowned: "It's not going well, their asking price is a bit high."

"How tall is it?" Popovich lit a cigar.

"The contract amount in the first two years was almost the same. Because of the Arenas clause, the starting salary was only 5 million. But in the third year, that Ivo Clark killed 15 million and was unwilling to give in. Of course, I always I didn't let go, it killed the average annual price of 7 million."

"15 million..." Popovich knocked on the table. The price, based on the current market, is indeed expensive. If Anxi really takes this contract, in the third year, it will basically be the highest salary in the Spurs. Popovich tapped the desktop, thinking about whether Anxi was worth it.

The contract proposed by Ivo Clark is considered a poison contract at this time. Jeremy Lin and Asik of the Rockets signed this contract, so it's no wonder Popovich and Buford would hesitate. As for Buford's three-year average annual contract of 5 million, Popovich also feels a bit low.

"Three years...three years..." Popovich suddenly looked up: "Robert, the amount of this contract is too high, I'm afraid I can't give it. In this way, we can accept the price of less than 21 million yuan in three years."

21 million in three years, so the final year's amount will be around 9 million. This price is still acceptable for the Spurs. If Anxi really gets a ten million contract, it will destroy the Spurs salary system. You must know, After Duncan's resignation, his annual salary was also 10 million. And now with the Spurs, Popovich thinks he can be better than Anxi in three years. Leonard counts as one and Parker counts as one.

Anxi takes 10 million or even higher. Then how much will Parker, who is at the peak, and Leonard, who are gradually reaching the peak, take? By that time Duncan will be old ~www.ltnovel.com~Do the Spurs still sign up?

Popovich’s considerations are correct, but they did not expect the future salary increase. After all, it is 2012. There is no sign of the salary increase. Even the Thunder just gave up James Harden because of the maximum salary issue. If Anxi The asking price is too high, and the Spurs will definitely choose to give up.

After all, the Spurs, like the Thunder, are teams in small cities.

The Anxi contract renewal was decided by Popovich, but not long after it was decided, Ivo Clark faced the Spurs' final offer and directly refused.

In the third year, it was only 9 million. This amount is too low. Under the circumstances of Ivo Clark's various horizontal comparisons, this 9 million is indeed a bit low.

As a result, Anxi's contract renewal was shelved. For the Spurs, the 9 million bottom line is also very important. As for Anxi, he does not ask for a maximum salary. At least a ten-million-level salary is also required. If Anxi enters the free market, Anxi will definitely have a team that bids ten million.

In fact, this is no longer a question of money or not, but a question of the status of the team. (To be continued.)
