On a sunny morning, Su Yang and Hinki waited for Thomas Jr. in the president's office to negotiate a resignation.

What was more surprising was that Thomas did not bring his agent with him, but instead took his children and said he wanted to witness.

Hinki joked casually: "Wouldn't you be afraid of being deceived by us without an agent? This is tens of millions of dollars."

"I may not trust you so much, but I definitely believe in the coach. He will definitely not lie to me." Thomas Jr. also laughed and turned to Su Yang and said, "And, the guy Jaylen Brown, who was ranked third in the draft, did not hire an agent, which gave me an inspiration. Maybe I don't need an agent to manage my contract, just like Dirk, you can try it first this time."

Su Yang nodded and headed straight to the topic: "The contract is ready to be re-signed for two years for you, 12 million in the first year and 13 million in the second year. This salary is the best sixth-person standard, and the second year has a player option, which is also the 11 contracts that are often mentioned in recent reports.

That arrangement, on the one hand, allows you to have a career of more than 0-6 years after the end of next season, and you can better sign a maximum salary contract of more than 6 years. On the other hand, we will start paying luxury tax after the end of next season. At that time, the existing lineup may not be guaranteed. You can make your own choice depending on the situation. In addition, we plan to renew our contract with Covington. He is more popular. We don’t have much salary space left. In addition, we have to reserve 4 million in the free market,"

This is the biggest contract we can give.

Of course, if Covington’s contract renewal is not agreed, we will give you a new offer. What do you think?”

There is no hidden anything.

I directly pointed out the contract of 12 million because I wanted to renew Covington, otherwise I could give Thomas Jr. more.

There is no lie to give the player the reasons for options.

Thomas entered the league in 2011 and could meet the requirements of signing a 30% maximum salary after playing in the 2017 season. If a team like the Celtics are willing to give him a maximum salary, then Su Yang will send Thomas away, which is the real big     money.

It is also true that it is difficult to maintain the current lineup after the 2017 season.

At that time, if Antetokounmpo renewed his contract in advance, the contract would take effect, which would directly increase the salary cap by nearly 20 million yuan, and would pay a lot of luxury taxes. At most, it would last for one season. If there were no three consecutive championships, it would probably have the current luxury lineup removed.

Anyway, Su Yang felt that there was no need to deceive such things, and everyone treated each other with sincerity, and there were also endorsements to compensate.

Compared to Thomas, who has never won a contract of tens of millions in time and space, this has completely changed his destiny.

"I completely accept it!"

Thomas Jr. agreed without hesitation, "I never thought that one day I would get a contract of tens of millions of yuan in annual salary, nor did I think that I would become a double champion. This is all brought to me. In return and gratitude, I proposed to increase the bargaining chips for renewal of Covington.

He is an important part of us. He does not have the ball, has excellent defense, has a very high three-point shooting percentage, and is also guaranteed to attend.

I'll just get 10 million..."

Su Yang waved his hand and interrupted Thomas Little, "I understand what you mean, but you must get this contract. We would rather sign a basic salary in the free market and use the 4 million yuan to increase Covington than give you another salary cut. In short, just don't worry."

"You have the final say, coach!"

Thomas little beats his chest and greets: "I completely believe in you. You can always make the best decisions. I hope my children can also grow up with people like you, so today I specially brought them here to let them feel your wisdom and style..."

It sounds weird.

Su Yang didn't think much about it and continued to finalize the details of the contract with Thomas, and it was settled soon. He could just wait for the league to complete the salary calculation on July 10th to re-sign the contract, but the news of the re-sign can be released, and the details can be used to catch the insider.

Granger got the news and arranged for the media department to produce news that he welcomed Thomas Jr. to re-sign the contract, and deliberately said the contract period as one year, but it also explained that it was to allow Thomas Jr. to better cross the maximum salary requirement range of 0-6 years.

What was more surprising was that this time I waited for an hour, and neither woj nor shames had any news.

I don’t know if the value of the revelation is low, or if the insider noticed the troubles and decided to lurk because of the error in the revelation before.

Su Yang was not confused, so he asked Granger to prepare to welcome Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin, and then talk to Hinki in detail.

"By Zhou Qi signed the contract first and then transferred to the NBDL Thunder Horn Sheep. He was not arranged to play in the away game. He would recall him if he had the chance and let him train with the home team. I will let him play according to the situation. Anyway, he will practice first this season.

As for Wang Zhelin, he has no intention of coming to NBA development, he will only come to play Xia Lian to feel the atmosphere and retain his signing rights. Maybe it will be useful in the future. Then exchange other retired centers and other operations. If the media asks you, you can just say it."

After arranging two Chinese players, Covington's extremely agent Andrew arrived as promised, and Su Yang and Hinki continued to discuss.

"60 million in 4 years cannot be lower!"

Andrew sat down and chatted for a few words, showing his trump card directly, the reason was that the salary cap rose sharply, and Covington was very important.

That tone is very tough.

But Su Yang didn't even have birds, so he skipped and asked Covington: "Do you want to get so much?" The main reason was that Covington had expressed his willingness to cut salary. This negotiation only depends on Covington's wishes, regardless of whether the salary cut can be accepted.

Covington hesitated for a moment when he heard this and nodded seriously: "I think I'm worth so much, of course I can cut my salary..."

Su Yang waved his hand and interrupted: "There is no need to cut salary again. I also think you are worth so much, only 60 million in four years."

This summer, Solomon Hill will get 52 million in four years, Turner will get 70 million in four years, Roll Deng will get 72 million in four years, Barnes will get 94 million in four years, what are you afraid of is 98.5 million in four years.

The most exaggerated thing is that Batum will earn 120 million in five years.

So Covington's 4 years of 60 million is very worth it.

The intention to renew the contract was reached. Su Yang took out the red wine placed in the office and invited Covington and his agent to have a drink.

Thomas Jr. didn't have that treatment.

First, the relationship is too good, and second, there are children present.

News of Covington reaching an intention to renew the contract was released simultaneously. The Kings completed two important rotations in one day. Compared with other teams, they were still waiting for the free market to open, and the speed was so fast that they were like the carriage and Ferrari, which would become the first team to prepare for the new season.

Many fans commented, lamenting that the Kings' off-court operation is unique, without thorny players, all the players are very selfless most of the time, and the depth of the lineup is also very terrifying, making it easy to win 70 games in the regular season and win the championship.

At the same time, Durant announced that he would jump out of the 11 contracts he had signed before, and he would likely re-sign a contract with the Warriors.

But it is not ruled out that the possibility of signing other teams is not ruled out. The Clippers received news and were actively preparing to pursue Durant. The head coach Doug Rivers, the president of basketball affairs, said: We have formulated some plans to see what will happen when we see it...

Su Yang laughed out loud when he saw the report, knowing that Rivers' plan was to give his son a contract that was beyond the middle class, and then offer a high salary to the sixth person he liked for one year to renew the contract, and then lock the Clippers to strengthen the space, so that the Sky Connect City will be completely wiped out.

The free market opened on July 1st.

Su Yang flew to Los Angeles and visited Bamot specifically. He quickly finalized a two-year contract of 4.5 million and signed the contract directly.

The main reason is that the Clippers chased Durant’s news, which made Bamot feel a little crisis and worried that it would be very passive if it dragged on.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yang flew back to Sas City and signed a contract with Brogdon, Donian, Thomas Jr., Covington and Thompson, and officially signed an assistant coach contract with West. In addition to a power forward substitute, the lineup was basically completed.

When I was free, I was on the schedule for renewal of Antetokounmpo early, but Antetokounmpo's initial intention was low. The main reason was that I knew it would be difficult to maintain the current lineup after the 2017 season and it was difficult to get the maximum salary. I wanted to try to be the boss of other teams.
Chapter completed!
