NBA basketball rhythm monster
Chapter 53: Sneaker Contract Negotiation
Li Luo established his status in the Celtics team in just his first day with the team.
The reason is very simple. Li Luo not only has the ability to fight and kill, but also has a humane and sophisticated network with the management's efforts to protect him.
How could he not do well in the basketball arena like this?
At the end of the training match, Pierce took the initiative to come over and say hello to the talented young man who had just joined the team:
"Welcome to the Celtics family."
At this time, Li Luo would not be so stupid as to behave like he is the boss of heaven and he is the second child.
He replied very politely:
"It's my pleasure."
The two of them now have a harmonious atmosphere, as if they were brothers wearing the same pants, as if the incident against Luo Li just now never happened at all.
Auerbach looked at his two disciples and smiled slightly. He actually heard the mystery behind the words.
Pierce welcomed Li Luo's arrival as the owner of the Celtics. There was no reason for him to refuse such a powerful helper, not to mention that Li Luo's joining the team was a foregone conclusion.
But at the same time, he also secretly showed his tough attitude and secretly warned Li Luo:
"The Celtics are still my territory now."
And Li Luo's reaction made Auerbach even more satisfied. He gave in slightly and generously said that it was his honor to join the Celtics. Pierce, you are the boss of the team. Everything that happened today was wiped out.
From now on, we can work together sincerely.
Auerbach just muttered secretly:
"These two brats... there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. They feel sorry for the few hairs they have..."
In this way, Pierce introduced all the current Celtics players to Li Luo and explained the characteristics of each player one by one.
No one dared to stab him during this process. It was only now that Li Luo had raised his banner as the second boss on the hilltop of the Celtics.
After taking care of things on the court, Li Luo and his team are working hard on things off the court.
The first is the issue of your own salary.
After signing his rookie contract, Li Luo's contract amount was US$11 million for the first three years with a one-year team option. Calculated in this way, the salary in the first three years would be about US$3.6 million.
But in fact, depending on the tax regulations stipulated by state laws, the actual salary received is only about half of the stipulated amount. A rookie like Li Luo would be enough to have US$2.2 million in hand.
Generally speaking, there are two ways for players to receive their wages. One is once every two months like a general white-collar worker. The other is to pay 80% of the salary to the players in one go before October 1st when special circumstances arise.
In fact, most player agents will let their players choose the first option. Although the salary paid every two months is not much, it is better than the steady stream of money.
Furthermore, talking about NBA players' view of money, it is indeed not suitable for suddenly having a large amount of money.
Not to mention the quality of the players themselves, most of them like revenge consumption. Even the "family culture" of black culture is enough to make these millionaires drink a pot.
(Everyone knows the case of Iverson. All his relatives and friends are no different from vampires. Iverson was fine when he played ball, but once he retired, he quickly fell into bankruptcy. And another black family culture is the most typical
An example is Rose. Rose, who was born in a slum, saw relatives and friends being killed almost every day. Rose's brother formed a gang to guard the neighborhood in order to protect him from playing games. When Rose was drafted, the Bulls were very wary of Rose's gang attributes.
It was suggested that Rose should cut ties with them. This caused a strong backlash from Rose.)
But Li Luo's choice was to withdraw 80% of his salary in one lump sum. Li Luo certainly had his own reasons for doing so: he still had a lot of children to support.
As a very forward-looking player, Li Luoke is not only satisfied with following the team's training.
Now. More advanced training methods, better maintenance methods, healthier diet plans, and more scientific treatment methods all require you to pay a lot of money.
At this point, Bill Duffy, who was responsible for managing Lillo's finances, knew best. This agent was very optimistic about Lillo's potential and lent him $250,000 before he participated in the draft.
Although Bill Duffy knew that Luo Li was not the kind of person with a poor-to-rich mentality, Bill Duffy was secretly surprised by Li Luo's spending.
Renting an arena, raising a team, finding a trainer...a series of operations is not like that of a fledgling young man. Naturally, he can't help but spend money like this. By now, the US$250,000 has basically been left.
Not much left.
Even Bill Duffy believed that if he lent another $250,000 to this young man, Luo Li would be able to smoothly spend it on training.
So this time, Li Luo simply chose to withdraw 80% of this year's salary in one lump sum.
The 250,000 yuan with interest was returned to Bill Duffy. Just as Duffy was relieved, Luo Li, who had been prepared, wrote a few more strokes on the blank paper. Then he handed the piece of paper to
Bill Duffy.
Underwater treadmills, a complete set of fitness equipment, and even a cold nitrogen recovery shower...there are so many of them.
"Hey, Duffy, can you ask me the price of these things?"
Yes, you pay and I'll do the errands, it's a matter of course. Bill Duffy generally tries his best to satisfy his employer's reasonable requirements.
"But, Li, I have to remind you, you don't have much left over in salary." Bill Duffy is worthy of being a veteran in this industry. He obviously has channels to obtain these equipment, but again, the price is definitely clear to him in Yemen.
.
With Li Luo's salary, it would probably take all the money to get that set of cold nitrogen equipment...
When you have no money, you naturally have to think of ways to make some money, which is the right thing to do.
Fortunately, Li Luo is not an unknown person now. At least he has an NCAA champion and the second pick in the draft, which gives him a little more fame.
After completing his joining procedures in the past few days, Li Luo was preparing to finalize his sneaker contract before the summer league started.
In fact, as early as the March Madness period when Li Luo was still playing in the NCAA, a sports company with a smell found Coach Barnes.
But Coach Barnes responded very quickly and immediately rejected the harassment from these small businesses.
First, the NCAA does not allow illegal private transactions, and second, in Barnes's mind, Li Luo's value is very high. It is far more than the price offered by these small factories.
After Li Luo had a professional agent, contract offers came to Bill Duffy's mailbox every day like snowflakes. These agents had naturally seen this kind of scene many times, and the team was very efficient in eliminating those who were related to Li Luo.
A contract of inconsistent status.
Now, Li Luo is almost the last one to sign a commercial contract. Even his schoolmate TJ Ford has received several commercials such as Subway. For this reason, Ford talked to Li Luo on the phone.
Luo felt proud for a long time while talking on the phone.
Bill Duffy had just recently signed a sneaker contract for Dayao, worth 50 million in seven years, which was a lot of money. So Bill Duffy, who had tasted the sweetness, started to think about matchmaking.
He called several giants respectively to promote another candidate card in his hand besides Dayao...Li Luo...
The other party's reaction was also full of interest. Reebok, Three Stripes, and Hook all reported their quotations.
(It is necessary to say something about Dayao’s signing. When Dayao was in China, he signed with Gou. At that time, domestic players were not worth anything. It was 1.6 million US dollars in 4 years. To be honest, it was not low. But the operation of Gou later was simply
He lost his mind and offered Yao a 4-year, 1.6 million contract in the NBA. How about fun? In the end, Yao directly said that he would say goodbye to you once the contract is over. When the news of Reebok’s 7-year, 50 million contract came out, Da Yao
Yao performed well in 2002 and 2002, and Hook hurriedly increased his contract to US$120 million. How can Yao be so angry for money? It directly means that Reebok gives me respect.)
