NBA: Starting CBA system

"Awesome, you're going to retire with one championship, right?"

The last part of the championship celebration was boring. At the end of the cruise, you went to the auditorium to change into a suit and take photos with the executives and dignitaries of the Holy City. In fact, it was the welfare of the nobles of the Holy City.

Jiang Hao was surrounded by several princesses and rich daughters, and it was like chasing stars.

However, Jiang Hao didn't smell any perfume this time, it was all the smell of money.

Boring.

This kind of situation is boring anywhere in the world.

After staying for a while, he borrowed the bathroom to yo-yo to the restaurant to have a championship dinner, which was also the end of the championship celebration.

He also had dinner with Leonard, who was not used to this kind of occasion. The two sat face to face, and the photo was like a movie.

After taking the photo, leave!!!

Jiang Hao picked up his coat and quickly retreated with Leonard.

Mainly because it was too scary to chat with this group of people.

A muscular businessman approached Jiang Hao and said he would pay Jiang Hao 100 million US dollars to let him and James have an octagonal cage showdown in the offseason.

"Let's meet in the octagonal cage!"

"There will definitely be a lot to watch!"

What a psycho!

There was also a businessman who said that he would let his daughter marry Leonard and give Leonard a villa so that he could spend the rest of his life with the Spurs. Leonard was shocked: "I have to ask my uncle."

Even Messina couldn't stand it, because the basketball culture in the Holy City was rekindled this year, and a community cultural center wanted Messina to be a part-time coach for the community children's basketball team.

This is not a waste of resources. Messina said that I can go and see the community, but forget about being a coach. There are so many children in my country who need coaches.

"So many saints!"

But Jiang Hao's schedule tonight has not yet ended. He retreated to the general manager's office of the AT\u0026T Center.

Because Jiang Hao drank, Jaylen Williams drove a Dodge to take him for a drive on the road and bought him an ice cream to sober up.

Finally, after practicing for a while, RC Buford and several legal and deputy directors appeared in the gym.

I have to say that these people have a really good alcohol tolerance, and they all acted like nothing happened. However, according to RC,

"I don't know that there is another most important thing. Drink less if you can. We will drink more after we confirm with you."

"Haha, OK."

Jiang Hao nodded, and several people went to the meeting room together.

But this time, Jiang Hao obviously felt that his attitude was different from every time he negotiated a contract. At this time last year, he was treated coldly by various teams, and no one even looked at him seriously during the joint training.

Now everyone smiled and let Jiang Hao enter first, and sat in the first seat, fearing that Jiang Hao would be unhappy and uncomfortable, and felt like a star.

Just like Jaylen Williams said in the car before:

"You are the FMVP! You go to negotiate a contract, and you will get the highest salary wherever you go!"

"Well, just be casual."

In this league that values ​​strength, Jiang Hao naturally knows his value, so he also has a clear plan and understanding of his career.

Next is the confession with the team management.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Hao and the Spurs finished the conversation smoothly, and there was no conflict of opinion. The main topic was the future of the team.

RC Buford finally shook Jiang Hao's hand tightly and said with gratitude:

"Thank you for your trust in our Spurs. We will definitely create a perfect and comfortable environment for you to defend the championship next season. Let's go together!"

"Well, the Spurs have given me a second chance. I will definitely remember it. Let's cheer together."

Jiang Hao and several other management members also shook hands and patted shoulders. This time the conversation was very pleasant and smooth, and it was completely in the direction he expected.

The two sides hit it off from the beginning.

Regarding Jiang Hao and the Spurs' contract, both parties meant to jump out of the current contract first, and then sign a 1+1 player option contract, and strive to give Jiang Hao the maximum salary he can get now every year in the Spurs. (The maximum salary is determined according to the number of years the player has been in the NBA, so the second year is still +1, in order to facilitate the Spurs' operation, Jiang Hao can opt out of the contract now and get a higher salary next year.)

Anyway, it is impossible for Jiang Hao to not opt ​​out of the contract and continue to perform the contract to get an annual salary of more than 1 million next year.

If the Spurs feel guilty about this, the fans will quarrel, not to mention that the Spurs will feel completely guilty.

After all, this season, especially in the playoffs, Jiang Hao is completely doing tens of millions of jobs with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, and the championship is won by his repeated impact.

So it is not a question of whether to stay or not, but a question of absolutely getting the full salary!

Tonight, I will also ask Jiang Hao what kind of treatment he wants, such as personal trainer, personal physiotherapist, personal nutritionist

Anyway, all kinds of rewards are taken care of, and the bonus for winning the regular season MVP next season is 10 million! The kind of bonus that is willing to be given no matter how much tax is paid! !

Because the Spurs have not had a player who won the MVP for 10 years.

And if Jiang Hao can win the MVP, the Spurs will also have the first MVP in the backcourt in the team's history. They had only one MVP in the last century, Admiral.

In this century, Duncan won two consecutive MVPs in 2002/2003, and there has been no more since then.

So this can be regarded as the biggest motivational goal for Jiang Hao.

"Actually, there is no need for a bonus. This guy will definitely stop James from winning three consecutive MVPs next season, haha!" A deputy director joked.

The one-year contract is also out of trust for both parties. The short-term goals of both parties are at least the same: three consecutive championships to create a dynasty!

RC Buford made it clear that although GDP's contract has not expired this year, it will expire in the next two years. However, the three have verbally agreed with him to renew the contract for at least three years, and they do not want the maximum salary.

The meaning is very clear.

In order to keep Jiang Hao and continue to win consecutive championships, they can give up some playing time and give up the opportunity of other teams to poach him with high salaries. GDP will definitely spend the rest of his life in the Holy City. There is no doubt about this.

Jiang Hao would definitely not believe it, but he came from the future, so he was very sure that what RC Buford said was true. Among the three GDPs in the future, only Parker went to the Hornets under his idol Jordan for two years at the end of his career. However, at that time, Parker's fuel tank was already empty, and he was purely fulfilling his childhood dream: playing under Jordan.

The mutual trust and loyalty between the Spurs and GDP has always been the most talked-about topic in the NBA.

So he also believed that GDP would cut his salary for the rising star.

Ginobili hasn't been able to get a top salary for many years. This guy looks unruly, but for the sake of the team and friendship, he really doesn't mind playing as the sixth man and taking a middle-class salary to make the final kill.

Otherwise, if the GDP Big Three were also top-paid like the Heat Big Three, the Spurs would have replaced role players every year and couldn't afford them at all!

And the Spurs treated Manu well in the end. When they couldn't recruit a superstar to win the championship later, they gave all the salary below the luxury tax to Manu's last contract, and also let Manu get a pension contract at the end of his career and retire happily.

These factors are why Jiang Hao chose the Spurs last year!

They won't abandon the Spurs after the mess.

Then he naturally won't abandon his good friends in the Spurs. At the beginning of the meeting, he told the management that he would fight again:

"It's just the beginning, how can it end so easily."

However, there was a purpose for not directly renewing the contract tonight, which was also the content of the second half of the conversation.

But Jiang Hao jumped out of the contract first, and the previous contract was invalidated. The annual salary for the next season will definitely not be more than 1 million.

Why not renew the contract with the maximum salary directly?

Because both parties have a tacit understanding.

That is, the draft has not come yet, and the free market in the offseason has just started. It is too early to make any transactions. It can only be said that they have disadvantages rather than advantages if they renew the contract so quickly. The most important thing is to wait and see other teams and the big fish in the free market.

What if there are players who want to come in the free market, what if they can strengthen the team with good players?

There will be changes before the end of the free market in the offseason. Jiang Hao naturally knows that many teams will make trades on the last day of the offseason, just for a surprise, including the renewal of stars, which is also in September.

And if Jiang Hao renews the contract with the maximum salary now, the Spurs will have very little room for operation. How can they operate if the salary cap is directly filled? ?

So the best way to operate is to wait until the free market is about to end and see the Spurs' offseason operations, what rookies they signed, how many new players, and how much money they spent.

No matter how much money is left in the salary cap, Jiang Hao will take the most annual salary he can get. It may not matter if there is not much left, because the most important thing is to strengthen the team.

Before coming here, Jaylen Brooks was considered to have passed. Jiang Hao is only in his second year in the league, and the highest salary he can get is 7-8 million. For Jiang Hao, it is the same to take 4-5 million. He is no longer making money by the salary.

If he can recruit some outstanding role players, it is easy for him to give up some salary.

Of course, the Spurs want to carry out these operations and delay Jiang Hao's contract renewal. Jiang Hao also has requirements.

His requirements are that who to select in this year's draft, what transactions to make in the free market, and who to sign must be discussed with him in advance. Only with his advice and approval can the operation be carried out, otherwise he will not give in.

"You know the draft?" Paul Hanke, a senior scout who never leaves his cowboy hat, was full of disbelief. Jiang Hao, a 20-year-old who has never played in a local college environment in the United States, knows the situation of rookies? ? ?

He doesn't even know what the person looks like when you tell him his name!

"I know a little bit. You can know it by just looking at the draft website." Jiang Hao laughed.

Paul Hank laughed: "Can you be as professional as us?"

RC Buford waved his hand at him:

"Hank, just believe in Jiang Hao's vision. When the time comes, you will be responsible for contacting him about the draft selection. If Jiang doesn't nod, we won't choose."

"Okay, okay." Paul Hank could only nod reluctantly. In terms of playing, Jiang Hao is the big brother. In terms of scouts, he doesn't believe that Jiang Hao knows much about this year's rookies.

However, he, the scout representative, spoke, and RC Buford and others all agreed. It's just a matter of one sentence. The Spurs have already built a team around Jiang Hao.

The person to be selected and the person to be wanted must naturally be liked and recognized by Jiang Hao. Even if Jiang Hao doesn't mention this requirement, the Spurs will consult Jiang Hao and GDP, Messina and other team members before the operation.

If they don't like him, it's useless to recruit someone with potential. The Spurs will always put the locker room environment first, just like Jiang Hao was able to come to the Spurs because Duncan and Manu personally nodded in approval of his character.
