Once the yin and yang contract between the Timberwolves and Joe Smith was exposed. Not only was the contract forcibly cancelled, but Joe Smith went from being the top pick to a bum in the league.
Moreover, the Timberwolves' general manager and owner were both suspended for the entire season.
The team was fined $3.5 million.
The most serious thing is that the team's draft rights for the next five years are forfeited.
This caused Garnett, the wolf king, to be in a mess during his peak period because he could not get strong teammates.
Once upon a time, the Cavaliers and Hornets had a yin-yang contract. After it was exposed, the owner was forced to sell the team.
In a more serious case, doing so may even result in a prison sentence.
This shows how risky the Yin-Yang contract is.
So generally few teams will take such risks.
But fortune teller Pat Riley believes that as long as he can get Wang Yi, such a risk is worth it.
However, human wisdom is infinite.
There are always people who can find ways to avoid risks.
For example, ak47 Kirilenko back then.
In 2012, ak47 was only 32 years old and in his prime.
Based on his ability, he could earn an annual salary of tens of millions.
But in the end, he unexpectedly signed a $3.6 million mini-mid-level contract with the Nets.
Many people suspect that there is an ulterior transaction behind this.
At that time, the owner of the Nets was Russian Prokhorov, and AK47 was also Russian.
In addition to the contract he signed on the surface, the boss may also have a contract with AK47 secretly in Russia.
Some people say that AK47 was given an oil field;
Some people say it is a contract gold business.
The league also established an investigation team at that time to investigate the Nets.
But the end result was nothing.
After all, you can't go to someone's Russian territory to investigate.
Furthermore, Prokhorov was not only the richest man in Russia at the time, but also a political figure.
He has participated in the presidential election.
Isn't it a joke that you, an NBA investigation team, want to investigate others?
So even if the then NBA president David Stern was unselfish, there was nothing he could do about this matter.
…
Talk about the contract.
Wang Yi did not agree to Pat Riley.
At the same time, even the Los Angeles Lakers came.
Their leader, Arthur Wang, has publicly stated that he will not join forces with Wang Yi, and he does not want to see Wang Yi come to the Lakers.
This is obviously an attempt to put pressure on the team management.
It is better for them not to go to Wang Yi.
But the team still secretly contacted Wang Yi.
If you can get Wang Yi, what does it mean to give up Wang Arthur?
Even Pelinka, the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, secretly discussed the Yin-Yang contract with Wang Yi.
He also promised that if Wang Yi goes to the Los Angeles Lakers, the team can completely build the team according to Wang Yi's wishes.
Whichever player Wang Yi wants, he will dig it out at all costs. If Wang Yi doesn't want to see the player, he will directly kick him out of the team.
For a player, this can be said to be the most generous condition that can be promised within the limits allowed by the rules.
But Pelinka knows that's not enough.
He also secretly promised to give Wang Yi 3% of the team's shares if he joined the Lakers.
Wang Yi almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
Do you think that if I don’t go to the Lakers, I won’t have shares in the Lakers?
During these days, the other 29 teams in the league came to Sacramento to meet with Wang Yi.
In this situation, except when Jordan first tested the free market, no other player has had such an influence.
Not even LeBron James.
In these days, the Kings coach, Kings general manager and Kings owner have been feeling terrified.
I'm afraid that one day the league will suddenly break the news that Wang Yi is leaving for another team.
Rumors about Wang Yi's whereabouts have been flying around for a while.
One moment it was said that Wang Yi was going to the Spurs, the other moment it was said that he was going to the Raptors, and the next moment it was said that he was going to the Heat.
The busiest department during this period is probably the UC Shock Department.
"Shocked! Wang Yi is returning to the Lakers!"
"Shocking Exposure! Wang Yi is determined to go to the Timberwolves!"
"Goodbye Kings, Goodbye Sacramento, Wang Yi will join the Grizzlies."
"Wang Yi joins the Bucks, the whole league will tremble!"
…
Rumors like this are actually very common.
Every offseason is the busiest time for the UC Shock Department.
He always uses the four-word formula "frightened or exposed" to set the lower limit of shock again and again.
But this year, the source of their shock is focused on Wang Yi.
And every time news breaks out, Kings fans can't help but tremble.
It made the Kings owner and the Kings general manager feel a little shuddering in their hearts.
However, until July 20, one month after the movie was released, Wang Yi still had not made any commitment to any team.
This confused the entire league.
At the same time, the operations of all teams in the league are surprisingly consistent.
All their transactions and layoffs revolve around one goal: to free up salary space to sign Wang Yi.
No team dares to make any big moves until Wang Yi decides on his next team.
Wang Yi has not participated in any activities during this period.
He asked Sister Luo to turn down all the activities arranged by sponsors.
His reason was that the child had just been born and he wanted to spend time with the child and his family.
Since he won the championship 4 years ago, he has had a full schedule almost every summer, either traveling to other countries to participate in activities or playing games.
There is rarely time for a real vacation.
I rarely have time to spend with my family.
But this time during the finals, when Nicole suddenly gave birth, he was not with Nicole. When the child's life was in danger, he could not be with the child all the time.
This deeply touched his heart.
So now he feels that family is the most important thing, and he spends more time with his family when he has time.
As for making money, it should come after family.
At the same time, his family members were very sensible and did not discuss with Wang Yi which team he wanted to join.
A month later, the total box office of Wang Yi's movies was released.
Domestically, the total box office of Wang Yi's movies reached 7.2 billion.
It is the only domestic film to have exceeded 7 billion.
And since the movie is doing well at the box office, the movie key can be extended for another month.
It is expected to exceed 8 billion by then.
In North America, the movie's box office revenue also reached US$2.3 billion.
Looking at the global box office, the total box office of movies has reached 3.5 billion US dollars.
Converted into RMB, it has exceeded 20 billion yuan.
Reaching the top spot at the box office in global film history.
With the share of this wave of movies, Wang Yi received US$300 million.
Converted into RMB, this movie earned nearly 2 billion.
Of course, this amount of money is only a small amount of money for Sony, and it is Sony that makes the most money.
But that is a company, and Wang Yi is a personal investment.
Compared with making money, Wang Yi's popularity is unprecedentedly high in the United States.
Even Wang Yi is regarded as a superhero by many people.
In the United States, Marvel came to contact Wang Yi specifically to publish a solo comic for Wang Yi.
Wang Yi and Marvel have negotiated a price.
It's not a one-time payment, it's still a split payment.
The more comics he sells, the more he gets.
At the same time, if the comics are adapted into games, animations, movies, TV series, etc. in the future, he will also be able to get a share of the copyright.
