Chapter 219 218: The birth of the highest salary in history!(1/3)
The Lakers signed a gorilla with good looks, gentleness and patience to be Shay's good wife.
Two of Georgetown's greatest players are officially reunited in the NBA.
Mourning looked at it and wanted to shout: "I will form the head!"
In fact, Logo's earliest target was Mourning, but the Hornets' asking price was too high, and in the end Mourning was taken over by the Heat.
Although Mourning is short, he is still at his peak.
Even the local fans in Los Angeles are not particularly optimistic about this seriously injured gorilla.
However, no matter how sweet a girl is, there will always be something salty about her.
No matter how underappreciated a player is, there will always be something outstanding.
Although Finley and Ewing's immediate fighting ability is questionable, they have good personalities.
Logo signed Gorilla and Finley to at least ensure that the team can avoid what happened last season from happening again.
With Finley's character, even if his abilities increase in the future, he won't mess around.
Ewing and Shay have a very good personal relationship, and they have been seriously injured, so they will definitely be willing to be Shay's second child.
This Lakers will never disintegrate from within again!
The lesson of being forced to disband the team this time has made Logo deeply understand the importance of "sustainable development".
The Lakers' goal is no longer as simple as one or two championships.
Since we want to win three consecutive championships, the internal environment must be stable.
Logo still doesn't believe that he can't create a miracle of three consecutive championships in modern basketball.
The one who kills the champion does not have to be the champion himself!
With Ewing in place, what Lakers fans are most looking forward to now is undoubtedly Shea's official contract extension with the Lakers.
Barkley is also very concerned about this matter, because to put it bluntly, the professional basketball world is similar to KTV.
The size of the contract is often directly linked to strength.
If you are cheaper than others, it means no one else is really big or good-looking.
The same is true in the basketball world, especially in this era where there are not many rules and regulations on contracts. The contract amount can sometimes be a very good indicator of a player's status and strength.
However, Fliggy thinks that the Lakers would never spend more than 20 million to sign Shay.
Unless Jerry Buss has water in his head.
Old pig, I will definitely be the player with the highest salary next season!
Outside, people are also predicting how much the Lakers will offer Shay.
Most people's predictions are that the Lakers will only open 20 million if they hit the sky.
This is already a bold guess.
After all, these days, a basketball player's annual salary reaches 20 million, which is already an astronomical figure.
If it weren't for the Knicks' proactive offer, people wouldn't even dare to think about 20 million.
There are different opinions on the size of Shea's contract.
No one knows what kind of contract Shea will end up signing.
In fact
Even Shea himself doesn't know how big his next contract will be.
Falk's negotiation strategy this time is to focus on passive listening rather than active bidding.
One disadvantage of taking the initiative to bid is that the price you bid may be lower than the boss's psychological expectations.
For example, Bass was originally prepared to sign Shea for 22 million, but Falk himself quoted 20 million.
Isn’t this a huge loss?
Therefore, Falke has never discussed the specific contract amount with Bass.
He simply told Bass: "I trust you will come up with a fair price."
Falk will take Shea directly to sign the contract on the signing day. At that time, in order to securely win Shea, Bass will definitely bring out the highest value of his psychological expectations!
This move turns retreat into advance, which is really wonderful.
In this way, when Shay arrived at Old Bass's office, Old Bass was actually very nervous.
He originally wanted to throw a check to Shay, and then said handsomely: "Fill it in whatever you want!"
But then I thought about it, if Shay wrote too much and he couldn't afford it, everyone would be embarrassed.
Therefore, Old Bass still gave a specific quotation.
In order to get Shay 100%, he indeed raised the offer to the maximum he could bear.
At the same time, all major sports channels are waiting for the news of Shai signing with the Lakers.
Several live broadcast programs were launched directly for this purpose.
Once Shea signs with the Lakers, reporters will immediately send the news back to the TV station.
The TV station will then tell the fans the results immediately.
Even the signing was broadcast live, which shows how influential Shay is in the basketball world at this time.
Although Shay failed to win three consecutive championships last season, it is undeniable that he is already a player who can compete with Jordan in terms of traffic!
Bill Simmons was invited by ESPN to participate in a live show to predict the amount of Shai's contract extension with the Lakers.
Simmons believes that Shea is most likely to sign a one-year deal worth 18 million.
"How is it possible to open to 20 million? The Lakers are not a charity.
Besides, Shay is not worth 20 million.
If Shea really created the miracle of three consecutive championships last season, then it would be worth not to mention 20 million, but 25 million.
But Shay's failure last season has proven that he is not as strong as everyone thought.
Therefore, his new contract will never exceed 20 million.
Of course, as I said before, Shay will most likely use 'money' as an excuse to escape from Los Angeles in the end.
It is impossible for one Finley and one Ewing to retain Shay."
At the same time, in old Bass's office.
Jenny and her father sat opposite Shay, extremely nervous.
Yesterday, Old Bass solemnly told Jenny: "My dear, the situation is serious this time. I'm afraid, I have to pay more."
Jenny was shocked at that time, dad, you are not going to add an additional clause to the contract.
Give me to Shay too!?
Yay!
Ah, no, don’t want it~
But, for the sake of our family fortune, why not sacrifice my daughter?
Old Bass looked at the shrewd Falk and the Shay he dreamed of, took a deep breath, and went straight to the point and pointed out three fingers: "This is the maximum I can bear!"
Falk leaned into Shay's ear:
“23 million, I think it’s about the same, after all, it’s all directly to the salary cap!
Anyway, as long as it exceeds 20 million, it will make history and create a lot of gimmicks. If we just take advantage of this time to release new shoes, we can still make a lot of money!"
When Xie heard this, he said, hey, you really have the head of a zebra, and you speak eloquently.
Shea also knows that in this era, 23 million is already a very respectful offer for him.
After all, the highest salary in the NBA in 2008 was only 23 million.
Old Bass panicked when he saw that Shay and Falk did not agree directly, but were discussing something in whispers.
It’s over. Isn’t it because the payment is less?
So Buss hurriedly interjected: "Shay, actually I have the same dream as you, which is to let the Lakers establish a three-peat dynasty!"
Falk knew that Bass was playing the emotional card and probably wanted to bargain, so he answered for Shay: "This dream is technically a bit difficult."
"I know it is very difficult, so I am willing to pay 30 million to renew Shay's contract, which is 10 million directly higher than the market value! I just want to prove that I am determined to overcome the difficulties with Shay!"
When Shay and Falk heard this, they were both stunned.
Isn’t it 23 million to hold three fingers together!?
30 million!
What is the concept of an annual salary of 30 million?
We have to wait until 2014 for a player in the NBA to earn more than 30 million!
