Perkins was a little stunned when he heard this.

Lin Feng's grand plan scared him. In the description just now, Perkins seemed to see the Lakers dynasty reviving again.

This year, Lin Feng is 19 years old, Ball is 21 years old, Ingram is 21 years old, and Hart is 23 years old. This group of young talents are all under the age of 25.

If two of these guys develop into All-Stars and the others develop into great role players, plus LeBron James is still in his prime!

", Shet! This is terrible, what kind of Los Angeles Lakers we will see! Gary, your idea is very bold. I don't know why I started to believe your nonsense."

Perkins understands that the formation of this beautiful picture requires Lin Feng to quickly grow into a star player and let him drive others.

But why did Perkins begin to believe that Lin Feng had this ability?

Because he says he's the second Rich Paul? Because he played at a high level in Sacramento? Because this guy dunked on Black Mike in a street court? Or because this guy hooked up with rising model star Sara at the speed of light?

·Murphy, and then broke up at the speed of light?

Wait, this guy also won a scratch-off jackpot!

With all this put together, Perkins didn't understand that he actually began to believe his lies!

"You must have given me an ian yao to make me so obedient, right?"

After a few minutes of silence, Perkins resumed his chatty mode.

Lin Feng has finished what he wants to say. He still needs to browse Twitter to find some new interesting things.

Lin Feng hopes to sign a one-year short-term contract with the Lakers, and even a basic salary is acceptable.

But this is difficult. The team will not give up the rookie bonus for three or four years easily and let Lin Feng work hard for one year to achieve results and then ask for a big contract.

Lin Feng is confident that he can get a maximum-salary contract next year, which will be around US$23 million a year.

Next, we need to look at Paz. He has to discuss the feasibility of a one-year contract with the Lakers. This is probably the first time in NBA history that a 60th overall pick has such a big appetite.

Because it is the team that has the initiative in rookie contracts, they can offer any contract within the rules.

It is equivalent to a rookie season in which he has not proven himself. The rookie has to use a cheap contract to thank the team for signing him. Even if the rookie loses money, he can still use it as a bargaining chip to trade him.

Most contracts for second-round picks have various clauses. For example, Mykhailiuk's three-year salary of 4.6 million is only guaranteed in the first year. In the second year, the team can decide whether to activate the contract based on needs.

Of course, these are issues that agents should consider. As a player, Lin Feng only needs to tell his agent his demands, and then Perkins will negotiate with the team.

Agents are also happy to do this kind of thing, after all, they will get a few percentage points from the contract amount.

"Okay Gary, I will find a time to call Pelinka. If they don't want to change the content, I can't help. You have to understand that it is the team that takes the initiative, not us." Perkins said seriously.

Lin Feng nodded. In fact, he was mentally prepared for the Lakers to finally make the decision to pay 8.3 million US dollars in four years.

As for Lakers general manager Pelinka, he has never been so concerned about a second-round pick. In the past, these matters took up two to three hours of his time to make decisions.

But the 60th overall pick named Gary Smith has already spent two days.

Just yesterday afternoon, team scout Bonnie Laughlin submitted a brand new player report to Pelinka, about Lin Feng.

Starting from the California Classic, the Lakers' scouting system re-evaluated Lin Feng and finally concluded that he is a high-potential all-around point guard whose upper limit is Russell Westbrook.

Bonnie happened to be in Pelinka's office, and the two were discussing something about Lin Feng.

Speaking of Bonnie, she is also a legend, the first female scout in NBA history. And it only took her five years to go from cheerleader to Lakers scout.

The speed of light can be used to describe the development trajectory of this beauty. The pretty Bonnie was originally the popular person of old Bass. In addition to her serious work, it seems very possible that something unusual happens with old Bass.

.

"It's hard to imagine that he is just a rookie with the 60th overall pick. I fully believe in this report of our scouting system. In the next five years or even less, he will be the second Westbrook."

Bonnie continued: "Gary Smith's athletic ability is extraordinary, his prediction is very accurate, and he is both offensive and defensive. We have found a treasure."

Pelinka has been exposed to basketball very early and has watched most of the games, but it seems a little early to draw conclusions about a rookie based on his performance in the summer league.

Westbrook? It’s hard to imagine that this is the template for a late-round pick.

Aside from the fact that Trae Young's model is Curry, the model of Sexton, the Cavaliers' No. 8 pick who plays the same position as Lin Feng, is only Bledsoe.

Pelinka held the A4 paper filled with Lin Feng's data report, and seemed to be vaguely aware that Lin Feng relied on his agent to bargain on the contract. After all, he had the capital.

"Laughlin, you did a great job. We almost missed an excellent point guard." Pelinka smiled, but he still felt unsure.

As a team manager, it's never a bad thing to think more about everything.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Pelinka's cell phone rang. He was thinking about the team's participation in the summer split.

The call was from Kiki Perkins, Lin Feng’s agent.

This was the call Pelinka had been waiting for.

"Hello Mr. Perkins, I've been waiting for your call." Pelinka said politely after picking up the phone.

Perkins over there is equally polite, and he's good at doing fake things.

"Sir, I explained everything to Smith. The team is extremely sincere and urgently needs his abilities. He is very grateful for this."

When Pelinka learned that Lin Feng wanted a one-year short-term contract, he immediately understood his intention.

Pelinka cannot make the decision on these matters alone and needs to be discussed by the team's top management at a meeting, especially the owner's wife Jenny's wishes. After all, this is her team.

It's Perkins' turn to wait for a call with Lin Feng. This decision will affect the development plan of the Lakers and Lin Feng's personal development plan.

Pelinka knew very well that the one who knows the players best is the players themselves. He told his wife Jenny, "Gary Smith knows his true abilities. I guess he plans to build up his worth through a one-year short-term contract, and then seek a job this time next year."

Contracts greater than eight million or more."

Jenny, who knows the most about football in the Bass family, nodded in agreement after listening to Pelinka's analysis.

A late-round pick with such high ambition may not be a good thing when it comes to ordinary players, but Lin Feng is not an ordinary person after all.

Jenny has the right to reject Lin Feng's request and sign a four-year contract with him. But she is a "humane" person. If Gary Smith is really capable of helping the Lakers improve, then she is willing to make concessions.

After all, James was recruited to win the championship. If there is a "Westbrook" in the team, that is undoubtedly a good thing.

Jenny and other senior executives knew very well that Gary Smith's purpose in asking for a one-year contract was very simple, he just wanted to use this year to work hard and then sign a big contract.

Jenny, who has experienced family infighting, knows this very well. The reason why she finally agreed to Gary's request is because she really hopes that Gary can play well, so that even if he asks for a big contract next year, the team will have enough space.

It has not made the playoffs for five consecutive years and missed out on Paul George half a month ago because it was unwilling to let Ingram go.

All this is caused by the team not being generous enough and always thinking about getting the maximum return at the minimum cost.

Jenny decided to take a gamble on the 60th overall pick because Lin Feng's performance in the summer split conquered her.

This is crazy, pick 60?

Later, Perkins received a reply from the team, and the team was willing to change the contract to a one-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $1.8 million.

This is much lower than the annual salary of 8.3 million yuan in the previous four years, but Lin Feng doesn't care much. The shortfall can be made up from the American website Tou Zhu.
