Kings owner Ranadive and general manager Divac said they wanted to sign a contract with Wang Yi. They didn't just say it casually. They even brought the contract directly.
General Manager Divac handed the contract to Wang Yi and said: "Wang, take a closer look. If there is no problem, we can sign the contract now. Of course, you can't be careless about the contract. You'd better discuss it carefully with Agent Ji before signing."
It’s not too late either.”
Wang Yi's eyes flickered slightly and he read the contract again.
There doesn't seem to be any problem.
As they said, it was more than 84 million in three years.
He was still surprised.
When did the capitalists think so much about the players?
The boss accepted Dave and shrugged: "Wang, you don't have to doubt, I just made up my mind this year to attract a superstar to change the situation of not entering the playoffs for more than ten years. If the star is to be loyal to the team, the team
We can’t treat the stars badly, it’s actually a win-win situation for us.”
Wang Yi nodded, the boss was right.
But the contract cannot be so hasty.
Wang Yi immediately called Rowling and asked her to come to Sacramento tomorrow.
When Luo Lin heard that Wang Yi had been awarded a three-year, US$84 million contract, the phone was silent for five seconds.
Then Luo Lin's surprised voice came out: "It's incredible, I really didn't expect Wang Yi."
The US$16 million that was originally lost was regained, and a one-year contract was added.
With this contract, Rowling can earn nearly 1 million US dollars. How can this not make her excited?
"Great, I'll take the first flight tomorrow morning. I expect to arrive at around 9 o'clock tomorrow."
After Wang Yi hung up the phone, he continued to discuss the following issues with them.
The next thing is between Wang Yi and the coach.
Coach Luke Walton was a former assistant coach with the Warriors.
He was responsible for the Warriors' 73-win season and their dream start of 27 consecutive wins.
Many people are disapproving of his coaching level and think he can only play at the highest level.
With the Warriors' lineup that year, even with Shaq's grandma leading the team, they could win 27 games in a row.
After that, Luke failed to achieve any results during his tenure as a professional coach with the Lakers and Kings.
Wang Yi declined to comment on the coach's level.
And as a new player, you can't dictate the team's coaching choices.
What he can do is cooperate with Walton to improve the Kings' record.
Wharton always wears a smart suit and shiny leather shoes, and his hair is shiny.
He said to Wang Yi: "Your arrival this year has boosted our confidence a lot, so our goal this year is to reach the playoffs."
Wang Yi was a little speechless. In which year did your goal not be the playoffs?
But in which year did I break in?
Of course, now that I'm here, the playoffs won't be easy.
He smiled and said, "Is it just the playoffs?"
Walton glanced at the owner and general manager: "Aren't the playoffs enough?"
The Kings are all young players, and now Wang Yi is also a young player. Without a capable and experienced veteran to lead them, the young team will definitely make a lot of mistakes.
So it's not easy to reach the playoffs.
Isn't this goal enough?
Kings owner Ranadive said to Wang Yi with a smile: "Then what do you think our goal should be?"
Wang Yi said: "At least you are not allowed to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals?"
When the three people heard this, they all looked at each other.
This goal is set a bit too high.
Is the Western Conference floor so easy to touch?
It took veteran Paul Paul more than ten years to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
Aren't his teammates strong?
The current players on the Kings team, except for Wang Yi, can only be regarded as the lowest-ranking stars.
It's been a long time since the Kings touched the Western Conference Finals floor.
The last time was probably a few years ago.
It's been so long that they almost forgot.
And today's Western Conference has the powerful Clippers, the Lakers, the Nuggets, the Suns, and the super-powerful Warriors.
It is already very difficult to advance to the second round, let alone touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
But since Wang Yi has said this, as owners, general managers and coaches, they can't be too pushy.
"Wang, as you say, then our goal is the Western Conference Finals!"
The King boss seemed very excited.
Of course, his excitement was more to show Wang Yi. After all, he couldn't let Wang Yi down.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he still feels that it is already great for the Kings to make the playoffs.
Then Walton said: "Fox was the boss of this team before. Now that he is gone, the Kings are leaderless. Wang, although you are here, you are new here, and the team is basically composed of young players. Everyone of them has
No matter who you are dissatisfied with, so if we want to integrate this team, we must have a boss to stand up."
"You are the perfect candidate to be the boss of this team, and if you want to be the boss, you must be able to convince the public. So from the time you sign the contract, you must have a good relationship with them."
Wang Yi nodded: "I understand."
Suddenly, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
When he was with the Lakers before, James was the one carrying him from the front.
Harmonize the atmosphere within the team, resolve conflicts between players, and improve the relationship between players...
James does a lot of things with thick eyebrows.
Wang Yi is only responsible for charging forward on the field.
Now that he is suddenly put in charge of the relationship between the entire team, he is really a bit of a tiger who can't put his claws down.
After all, he has never done this before.
But one thing about him is that he likes challenges.
This will make him more passionate and interesting.
That night, the four of them talked until late.
At about 9 o'clock the next morning, Sister Luo flew over and carefully reviewed the contract.
It was determined that there were no problems with the contract, and by around 5 p.m., they signed the contract with general manager Divac.
Originally, after signing the contract, the salary would not be received immediately.
After all, the season hasn't started yet and you haven't played a game, so what salary will you get?
However, the team considered that Wang Yi had just arrived and had many things to do, so they gave him US$5 million in advance.
With this 5 million US dollars, Wang Yi can at least buy a house with good conditions, not to mention a villa.
But now he doesn't plan to spend the money on a house.
Anyway, there is a team renting a house for him.
He moved to the new house that afternoon.
This is also a single-family villa.
It has two floors, and there is a lawn at the door.
Although it is not big, it is more than enough for Wang Yi to live alone.
When the Kings sent someone to help Wang Yi, a clear and sweet voice suddenly came from the window of the single-family villa next door to them.
"Brother Yi, look here, look here..."
Wang Yi put down his suitcase and turned his head to look at the window on the second floor of the villa next door.
I saw a head sticking out of the window and kept waving to him.
She had that contagious smile on her face.
"Zeng Xinyi?!"
Wang Yi was also surprised.
At the same time, he remembered that Zeng Xinyi once said that she was going to Sacramento.
"Brother Yi, will you live here from now on? Wow, we are neighbors."
As she spoke, Zeng Xinyi came down the stairs and out the door, like a jumping sparrow, and came to Wang Yi.
"What a fate, I never thought that one day I would become the neighbor of an NBA superstar."
Zeng Xinyi said excitedly.
Wang Yi also nodded: "I didn't expect to become neighbors with a cute little girl like you."
Zeng Xinyi rolled up her sleeves as she spoke: "Brother Yi, do you have many things? Do you want me to help? Or I can help you clean. I am a little expert at work."
Wang Yi shook his head: "No need, the team has had people come over to clean it this morning."
"Then can I go to your house and hang out?"
"Of course, welcome."
Seeing Zeng Xinyi's smile, Wang Yi felt much better.
Chapter completed!
