"Jess, I think we can apply for a deal, you don't have to go to the Trail Blazers."

"Bill, I don't have to apply for a transaction. I don't even have a contract. How do I apply for a transaction? Is it threatening to not sign a contract? What if their boss doesn't trade? What should we do? I took the initiative to sign a contract later? I don't want to face... Don't worry, I am a law-abiding foreigner."

“…”

At first, the boy heard the name of the Trail Blazers like Chiu Xiang, but now he is eager to try it out!

Bill Duffy wondered if you were afraid that you would not abide by the law once you went there?

Fortunately, when Bill Duffy observed Anthony this past season, he also observed Liu Xiu, who emerged in the middle and late stages of the season. He found that although Liu Xiu had a campus gang background, he never caused trouble, but was not afraid of trouble, and was very tough.

It is somewhat similar to Anthony's loyalty, so he can get together.

Uh... loyalty? Bill Duffy's tension has decreased a lot.

Liu Xiu and Anthony are loyal, and have a strong loyalty with the Trail Blazers group.

At noon, the NBA official website had announced the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies' deal.

The Grizzlies sent the 13th overall pick in the first round, Liu Xiu, veteran Wesley Person, and got Bunch Wells from the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers lose money when it comes to this deal. In the 2001-02 season, Bonchi Wells averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and is only 27 years old now.

In fact, the Trail Blazers initially wanted a player, but they were pulled down by the logo man.

The Trail Blazers' operations were scolded again.

In the past two years, the Trail Blazers have been scolded for their final results, whether it is good or bad operations.

For example, in the summer of 2002, the Trail Blazers introduced two high-quality point guards, Jeff McGinnis and Antonio Daniels. Judging from the strength of the trade at that time, the Trail Blazers made money. As a result, both of them were lost in the Trail Blazers, and their performance was far less than the bargaining chips they sent away. While the core lineup was still in its peak period, they completed the reinforcement strength but did not rise but fell.

In the end, it naturally turned into a bad operation to be attacked.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Bill Duffy had already taken Anthony to complete the signing with the Nuggets, and now he took the 30% salary check to collect in advance and took his relatives and friends to have fun again.

Anthony's side was very smooth. The Nuggets directly gave the highest salary of 120%. According to the rules, the team can give rookies a 20% increase in the fixed contract.

All of them are here, Bill Duffy can only guide Liu Xiu to give him some advice and not to say what should he say when he meets with the Trail Blazers.

Bill Duffy took Liu Xiu and his lawyer to the restaurant he had made an appointment with the Trail Blazers in advance and chatted for a while. At 6 pm, the Trail Blazers and his group arrived at the restaurant.

After a simple greeting, I went straight to the topic.

Bill Duffy took the contract handed over by the other party's lawyer, and did not show it to his lawyer first, but opened it and looked at the salary...

‘Fake…’

Although, Bill Duffy's concerns about Liu Xiu's going to the Trail Blazers have been reduced a little.

But who is willing to send the players under his command to wherever he is fine?

There are always ways, such as picking on salary.

Although few teams can't help but fluctuate when giving rookies contracts, not every team will be willing to increase their salary.

For example, last year, Bill Duffy tried his best to give Yao Ming a 20% salary increase, and initially he was only willing to give 10%.

So, Bill Duffy was about to bite the salary he had to give 120% and apply for a transaction if he didn't give it.

This is a legitimate reason, which is much more useful than threatening to not sign a contract.

But he just remembered now that the Trail Blazers didn't care about the 20% salary at all...

The Trail Blazers are the king of luxury taxes in recent years since the luxury taxes are in place!

The entire basketball circle knows that the Knicks are rich and powerful, but that is because the Knicks spend a lot of money and have bad results, so they become more famous.

In fact, there are two teams that spend no less money than the Knicks, one is the Mavericks and the other is the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers seemed to be in a hurry. Liu Xiu saw that the process was going very fast and he almost didn't communicate with him much. The head coach, who seemed ferocious, informed him to meet in Orlando on July 5th.

Looking at the check for 30% of the rookie season paid in advance... Each team will bring checks when signing contracts for rookies that they value. Rookies in the lottery area are naturally considered rookies that they value.

Most NBA players are very poor before entering the NBA, and they even have no choice but to eat if they lose the election.

Liu Xiu naturally chose to withdraw when the other party asked.

The Trail Blazers are rich and powerful, with a starting salary of $1.49 million, up 20%, with a starting salary of $1.78 million. The increase in rookie contracts in the second and third years is 5%, 1.87 million US dollars in the second year, 1.97 million US dollars in the third year, and 26.1% increase in the third year, 2.48 million US dollars in the fourth year.

Liu Xiu heard that the Wizards' tenth pick in the first round rookie Jalvis Hayes had no salary of 1.79 million US dollars, only 10,000 US dollars higher than him. The salary of Michael Pitrus of the Warriors and Nick Collison of the Supersonics was 10%, both lower than him.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu felt that the Trail Blazers still had a cute spot.

‘We are now an NBA player! We have money!’

...

The next morning, Bill Duffy took Liu Xiu to the bank's VIP room and performed the operations he had done with Anthony yesterday.

Check cash, commission, recommended a stable fund, informing you of the time and method of payroll in the new season...

"My advice is that every time you get a salary, you will use the highest tax specification to buy those stable funds, and agree to pay before next year's tax day... No matter what, Jace, remember to keep enough of the tax payment money!"

"Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding foreigner."

Why doesn't this sound like a good person?

Will good people repeatedly emphasize that they are good people?

Bill Duffy doesn't want his players to go to the Trail Blazers, but now that's it, he can only accept this situation. No agent wants his players to go to the Trail Blazers, but there are always more than a dozen players who want to go.

The selected rookies are easy to deal with. In two days, Bill Duffy arranged three selected rookies, but the busiest ones were the ones who followed suit. There were still seven or eight unscheduled picks. It doesn’t mean that all 10 players can be signed every year and can be selected. In most cases, those who can finally enter the NBA will be selected.

After dealing with Liu Xiu's affairs, Bill Duffy started to get busy again.

At noon, Liu Xiu and Anthony, who had been having fun for two days, made a separate meal. Next, Liu Xiu will return to Snow City, Anthony will return to Baltimore, accompany his relatives and friends, and will soon start a brand new life.

They played side by side for a year on and off the court. When the two decided to leave college and enter the NBA, they thought about what kind of scene should be when they parted.

But when we really parted, we didn’t have so many love for our children, but we were more about blessings to each other and expectations for ourselves.

...

...

Syracuse, a city in central New York, also known as Yancheng, the former American salt industry, but now the salt industry has declined, but the consumption fields of culture, education and tourism... are very developed. Syracuse University in the core industry is a world-class university. The school's public management major has the best in the United States, and several majors such as architecture, tourism, and law are among the top ten in the United States.

Like other wealthy cities in the United States, residents will move from the city blocks to the suburbs with a little money.

In the past two years, most people can't move. Even if they make enough money, they can't move. After the Internet bubble crisis, a large amount of funds have been transferred from the stock market to the real estate market. House prices have risen in the past two years.

And Liu Xiu knew this was just the beginning.

Liu Xiu looked at the house in front of him that he had lived in for several months, including his original memory, and had been boarding for three years... 'My cheap uncle is so lucky!'

A few years ago, the whole United States was buying stocks, and countless people sold their real estate and fixed assets to buy stocks, and housing prices plummeted.

His cheap uncle also bought stocks, but after making enough money, that is, the money to buy a house, he sold the stocks and bought a house.

Immediately afterwards, the Internet bubble was burst...

When Liu Xiu heard about this for the first time, he sighed that even an ordinary person with no ambition could make enough money for half his life in a few months.

In the early 1990s, an American girl who got a domestic traveler and got a green card to work in the United States. She did not forget to take care of her sister's son. When Liu Xiu was in high school, she rushed to help Liu Xiu complete the admission of Snow City University, and then let Liu Xiu live with her for three years...

Whether it is in memory or personal experiences over the past few months, Liu Xiu has felt a strong family affection in a foreign country.

But this family affection is a bit heavy now... ‘I would have known that I wouldn’t have bought so many things.’

Liu Xiu is now in front of the villa, with big and small bags hanging on her body, and it is not as good as putting it down, and it is difficult to take out the keys if you don’t put it down...

Liu Xiu is now very confused. Should he put down the things and take out the keys, or work harder?

When I got off the bus just now, the driver finally hung the thing on him, but now he put it down... I will take it one by one slowly, how troublesome!

Nowadays, Liu Xiu is becoming more and more lazy due to the lack of training... It’s not that he doesn’t want to do anything, but that he always thinks about the optimal solution when doing things, and he won’t force it if he doesn’t expect it.

'Your nephew returned home in glory... No, it was wrong to pass the Jinshi exam... Not right... No one greeted your rich nephew when he came back?'

Liu Xiu remembers that he called his aunt!

At this time, a "dongdongdongdongdongdong" sounded.

The running sound is not good!

The moment the door was opened, Liu Xiu threw things everywhere like a flower scattered, and a loli rushed up and Liu Xiu skillfully caught them.

"Your sister... isn't right, this is my sister..."

After Liu Xiu squirted out a sound, he looked at the big and small bags thrown on both sides, and suddenly he was a little convinced by himself.

If he asked him to do it again, he really didn't feel that he had copied the flying rain in the sky... it was dispersed too evenly!

"Brother is so stingy! I went to New York alone and didn't take Qing'er with me!"

Qing'er looked like "You coax me quickly, don't coax you anymore."

But... Liu Xiu held the back of the unlucky sister... I was careful to put it on the ground for a while and it felt troublesome to take it. Now it's all over the floor, which is even more troublesome. I'm so angry!

This time I have to teach you a good lesson!

"Okay, I will definitely take you next time I go out. Come down and help me get the things in."

"Your, no!"
Chapter completed!
