Chapter 2193 Smart Man (Third Update)

In addition to Pippen, Nowitzki's recruitment of Hodges also went smoothly.

The two quickly negotiated a six-year, 6 million contract, and a series of matters such as switching to Nike's sponsor camp after signing.

The next step is to wait for negotiations between the two teams.

Generally speaking, although players like Hodges are excellent, as long as they are willing to give them money, help them shoulder one or two garbage contracts, and give up good signings to the Milwaukee Bucks, then everything will not matter. question.

In the NBA, such transactions are very frequent, and everyone is constantly making substitutions.

However, there are still many who stay with the same team for the rest of their lives.

This is the case with players like Karl Malone, Stockton, David Robinson, Duncan or Garnett.

Oh, by the way, we have to add Kobe Bryant, the big boss with countless fans.

It's just that players who are always on the first team have become increasingly rare after 2010.

All kinds of strong alliances, various temptations of high salaries, etc., all make the stars stay in the same team for a short time.

But Nowitzki encountered a setback with the last important player, David Robinson.

After he came back, he reported the situation to Yin Jun.

"David Robinson has one year left to graduate, and then the Navy and the Army want him to stay for another two years to compete for their military basketball team." Nowitzki said, "Even if he is willing to come to our team , it doesn’t have to be a draft, but I think it’s too exaggerated, so we can’t talk about it.”

"Does he have any requirements in terms of salary?" Yin Jun said.

"He has no objection to the $3 million I proposed over seven years," Nowitzki said. "He is still very interested in our New York Kirin team, but the most important thing is that time cannot keep up. If after three years, Who knows if he's going to be average or if he's injured and can't play?"

Yin Jun smiled.

Of course he knows that David Robinson was not injured at all, and has become one of the best players in NBA history, and is also the main player of the Dream Team. He is one of the stars who can compete with Jordan in terms of skills and abilities.

What he was fighting against was Jordan's peak period, not like Jordan's growth period in the past two years.

So Yin Jun is very interested in this super center.

"Is he willing to stay on his own, or is the Navy forcing him to stay?" Yin Jun asked instead.

"If he doesn't want to, who can force him to stay?" Nowitzki said with a wry smile, "He went to a navy school, so he also has feelings for it, and it's hard for him to refuse requests. "

"That's it." Yin Jun nodded, "Send the contract over and let him sign it as soon as possible."

Nowitzki: "!?"

Looking at his confused look, Yin Jun said: "It's still 3 million US dollars in 7 years. You tell him that the salary will be calculated from the day he signed. I earnestly hope that he will come to New York in the best condition in 3 years." Qilin Team!”

"This...this..." Nowitzki stuttered a little, "Boss, how much do you value him? Is he stronger than Jordan? We actually gave him three years of salary for free!?"

With 3 million US dollars in 7 years, the salary in three years is almost 1.3 million!

You are so lucky to be paid such a high salary without playing for the New York Kirins! ?

"It's not that he is better than Jordan, but I think with his strength, he will be a very good center in the next fifteen years!" Yin Jun said, "As for why I gave him a free salary, it's because I admire him very much. He is a person like him. He obviously has time to play in the league and make a lot of money, but he just stays in the navy and plays games for the sake of friendship. Will a young man like this come to our team half-heartedly in the future? "

Nowitzki nodded thoughtfully.

Is this the boss’ early investment?

It's true when you think about it, it's really rare for such an excellent player to be so foolish as to play in a military game with no money, without fear of delaying his own future.

If it is true as the boss said, if this can earn his loyalty, it will be a good result.

Yeah, but I must tell him that the boss appreciates him. With David Robinson's character, he will definitely be very grateful, and then he will stay with our New York Kirin team, right?

I just hope that his strength is as strong as the boss said, otherwise this money will be a bit wasted!

Of course Nowitzki would not know that Yin Jun admired David Robinson so much not only because of David Robinson's rejection this time, but also because the young man knew the history of his previous life.

As the main center of the Dream Team, David Robinson was actually selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the No. 1 pick when he graduated from college next year.

But he did not come to the NBA to play immediately. Likewise, he came to the NBA and started his career after playing for two years in the Navy.

David Robinson is very grateful to the San Antonio Spurs for being tolerant to him, so he dedicated all his 14-year career to the San Antonio Spurs, which is also unusual in the NBA.

He was like this in the previous life. In this life, Yin Jun offered him a lucrative contract of 3 million yuan in 7 years in advance, and David Robinson did not waver.

Yin Jun likes players like this who value love and justice very much.

Then it is only natural to give him a good treatment and lock him in advance.

The teenager is afraid that David Robinson will participate in next year's draft and be selected by the San Antonio Spurs.

Even if David Robinson does not accept this contract, which is obviously an advantage for him, facing Yin Jun's sincerity, he should wait to join the New York Kirin team.

The facts are similar to what Yin Jun thought.

The next day, David Robinson called Yin Jun using Nowitzki's cell phone. He thanked Yin Jun for his love for him and expressed that he would sign the contract and come to the New York Kirin team in three years to report and play for New York. The Kirin team is determined to dedicate their careers.

When Nowitzki came back, he also told Yin Jun an unexpected news.

David Robinson signed a contract, but what he signed was not 3 million in 7 years, but 3 million in 9 years.

Yin Jun was a smart man and laughed when he heard it.

David Robinson is indeed a person with very high emotional intelligence!

He signed for two more years but received the same salary, which proves that he is not willing to take advantage.

But if he directly changed it to 3 million US dollars in 10 years, it would be equivalent to not receiving a penny in these three years, and it would appear that he did not give Yin Jun face, and completely rejected Yin Jun's love for talents.

So he just changed the time limit for 2 years so that he could feel comfortable with it and wouldn't make Yin Jun think he was too rigid.

For such a smart person, I would be really sorry for myself if I didn’t use him as a key training center.

Yin Jun remembers that Jordan retired in January 1999. Although he came back for two years in 2001, in fact that was no longer his era.

David Robinson only retired in 2003. He is two years younger than Jordan.

This means that even if Jordan plays a little tantrum and retires early, David Robinson can last at least three more years.

He's a leader on the San Antonio Spurs anyway.

Well, so Yin Jun can make him the vice-captain, and he will take over when Jordan is away, which is good.

Jack Sikma is 31 years old this year. Let him play the main role for another 4 years or so, and then let David Robinson directly take over the powerful center position. What a perfect succession!

David Robinson's success here means that this year's major signings are over.

For now, only small forward Pippen and shooting guard Hodges have joined the team.

But the New York Kirin team is already very strong. The current lineup can last for more than five years. There is no need for large-scale additions. These two are already strong back-up players.

Phil Jackson has definitely signed a head coaching contract.

Yin Jun did not treat the previous one badly. The contract was already over, so Yin Jun gave him another 2 million US dollars in bonus, so that everyone could get together and part ways.

As for the players' contracts, of course, a series of changes have been made in accordance with the previous plan.

The first is that it has been decided to buy out the contracts of seven players and kick them out.

These seven people include former substitutes and junk contracts. Now that they have passed the period where they cannot terminate their contracts, they will pay a sum of money in advance to let them leave.

Then, the players in the team who can really play as substitutes are generally given a 20% increase in income, allowing them to play well for a few years.

The main players are naturally rewarded with substantial salary increases.

Even if they lost this Eastern Conference Finals, their performance was outstanding and should be rewarded.

Except for Barkley's agent who raised the price too high and reduced it to 6 million over eight years, the other players' salary increase requests were all met.

Here in the United States, there is no need to talk about dedication at all.

In a word, as long as you manage enough money, they will play ball for you seriously.

It's not like those players 20 years from now. Once they get a big contract, they just mess it up and live in retirement.

The professional quality of the NBA superstars in the 1980s and 1990s was indeed much higher than that of the younger generations.

Even the 31-year-old Jack Sikma once again received a new five-year contract worth US$6 million. Although his previous contract still had five years left, it was a total of US$4.3 million in seven years. Now it is US$6 million in five years. Ten thousand US dollars, which also gave him a considerable salary increase.

This is also an important measure to allow veterans to contribute to the team with peace of mind.

Although Jack Sikma is older, he stabilized the morale of the army and cooperated with a group of rookies in several playoff games.

Compared to him, Jordan is a little younger and has enough drive, but his leadership qualities have not yet fully emerged.

The most important leadership quality is to continue to fight back tenaciously in the face of adversity, just like what Jordan did when he won three consecutive championships.

If that day really comes, the New York Kirins will officially enter the era of their own dynasty.

Yin Jun has no doubt about this.
