The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1401 Circus

The people who presided over Garnett's contract extension negotiations were Jerry West and Jim Buss.

West is the representative of the team, and Bath Jr. is more like a bystander. This year is his first year officially entering the team's management, and he is not proficient in many businesses.

West scowled because it was drudgery. A good talk will benefit the team and offend the players.

If the talks are not good, it will add a burden to the team and be scolded by Louis.

After the arrival of Garnett's agent Er Fleisher (Er Fleisher), the two sides briefly exchanged courtesies.

Later, Fleischer simply quoted the price Garnett wanted: "$130 million in six years."

"How many?!"

Little Bass, whose cultivation was not enough, called out.

West was shocked, too, but not as superficially as Bass Jr. This is definitely a contract that the Lakers can't afford. It's not that the old Buss can't offer such a big contract, but considering the actual situation within the Lakers, it is unwise to give such a contract anyway.

The first is that the team's leading brother, Benjamin Wilson, just completed an early contract extension last summer and signed a two-year, $30 million contract.

In other words, next season and the next season, Wilson's annual salary will be 15 million US dollars.

As for Garnett, he is neither the leader of the team nor the second-in-command. Whether he is the third-in-chief is up for debate.

It takes 6 years and 130 million for such a player to open his mouth? I am afraid that only the Dolan family can give it.

There is nothing wrong with giving Garnett this contract, the question is what happens after he is given this contract.

The team's second child Barkley's annual salary is only 8 million US dollars. He was betrayed by his old club. Dumars, who chose to join the Lakers at a low price, has an annual salary of less than 3 million US dollars. These people can watch Garnett become the highest annual salary in the league player?

What's more, Garnett is not worthy of this contract in terms of strength. This is a superstar contract, and Garnett can only be regarded as an All-Star with a promising future.

Can a mere All-Star get the league's first salary? West knew that this time there was something to talk about.

On the same day, the negotiation went on for an hour, and the two sides could not argue over the issue of money, and the progress was zero.

The Lakers' psychological price for Garnett is 80-90 million in 6 years. This guy came up with 130 million, which is really hard to bargain.

Little Bass reported the situation to Louis truthfully.

Hearing the offer from the Garnett team, Louis just wanted to complain about whether this labor agreement can die?

How dare a person whose rookie contract has just expired so exorbitantly ask for such a high price? It's not that there are loopholes in the labor agreement!

"How is Jerry?" Louie suddenly became concerned about West's mental state.

Little Buss said with a smile: "It's okay, I just like to think about it." "It's hard for him."

Although Louis really wanted to feel sorry for Uncle Wei, he couldn't. He is an enlightened president who doesn't like to be dictatorial. A wise godfather should know how to let his subordinates perform their duties, instead of relying on Auerbach or Pitino. Everything is up to you to decide.

Where is this Godfather? This is the emperor.

"Yeah, I didn't know how difficult it is for Jerry until today. The conscience of this group of players is really bad!" Little Bass couldn't help complaining, "I think Jasmine is usually quite a solid person, what's the appetite? So 6 years and 130 million, he thinks my family has a mine?"

【The rest, only noise】【】

Louis said lightly: "The difference between advance and retreat is tens of millions of dollars. Do you know what tens of millions of dollars can do? No matter how honest a person encounters such temptations, he will feel wronged and become a greedy person." .”

Buss Jr. now knows how hard it is to be in charge, and at the same time, he is in awe of James Dolan's daring to sign contract after contract without fear.

This is true. There is a mine at home!

"Sir, do you have anything to tell Jerry?"

Louis frowned, "Tell him, our psychological price is 80 million in 6 years, if we can't talk about this amount, he won't do it."

Little Bass trembled.

This is a price cut of 50 million, how could Garnett agree?

Little Bass thought about it for a second, if he could really talk about this price, he could save a lot of money.

Give Garnett an extra 10 million, and their family will have to pay more money in the luxury tax, so bargaining is a big deal.

He truthfully conveyed Louis' instructions to West.

It is said that when West received the instructions, he yelled directly.

Although he didn't name them, everyone knew who he was scolding.

After waiting for him to finish cursing, Buss gave him a can of "Victory Moment" Coca-Cola endorsed by Louie, "Jerry, calm down, no matter how difficult the difficulty is, we have to face it."

The words are good words, but when West saw the Louis pattern on the Coke can, he felt an unknown fire in his chest.

Isn't it all caused by that **** Louis! So he couldn't help cursing a few words into the air.

Louie doesn't think Garnett's team will be crazy enough to think that the Lakers will accept and sign this contract.

Therefore, such a large opening for the Lions is more like leaving room for the bargaining behavior that the Lakers will inevitably implement.

Based on the assumption that Garnett and the team behind him are normal people, their psychological price is not difficult to guess.

Last year, Alonzo Mourning caused an uproar because of a seven-year, $100 million contract extension, forcing the Blazers to let him go for free.

This contract can be used as a reference.

Mourning signed 100 million for 7 years, and Garnett is in a wealthy family, so it is impossible to ask for the price like the Timberwolves in his previous life.

Therefore, their psychological price should be 90 million US dollars in 6 years. They don't want to surpass Benj, but at least they have to be evenly matched.

The psychological price is 90 million US dollars in 6 years, which does not mean that the agent will fight for this.

As an agent, it is their duty to bite off as much meat as possible from the employer, so he will see-saw with the Lakers for a long time in order to seek a bigger contract.

Regardless of whether it is for the present or the future, Garnett's contract extension must be cautious and cautious.

If the Lakers do not handle Garnett's contract extension properly, other people's contract extensions will also encounter problems.

A contract that is acceptable to both parties must be reached, and this will be a reference for others to renew the contract later.

Therefore, West will continue to pull, and Louis only looks at the result, regardless of the process.

A few days later, when Rodman wore a wedding dress to attend his press conference, the Lakers also became the **** of public laughter.

The incident hurt West again.

【The rest, only noise】【】

He regards the reputation of the team above all else, and Rodman is simply taking the Lakers.

People's fame pays for their own show, and Old Buss seems to be happy to see it, because the joke is only temporary, but the attraction brought by Rodman is long-term.

As long as some people become interested in the team because Rodman is funny, and become fans because of it, then he has value.

Louie can PUA 99% of the players, but he can't do anything to Rodman.

He was able to tolerate Rodman entirely because the other party had no obvious harm to the team now, so he was allowed to stay in the team based on past affection.

The two people who can decide whether Rodman will stay or not ignore Rodman's discrediting of the team's image. West is so angry that he actually falls ill.

As the team representative in Garnett's contract extension negotiations, anyone can fall, but he cannot.

But this disease comes without reasoning with others, so we can't let people persevere while sick, right?

After much deliberation, Louis summoned Zhao Yuanzheng and arranged for him to be the

A special adviser to the negotiations was involved.

On the surface, it was Bass Jr. who led the negotiations. In fact, it was Zhao Yuanzheng who fought with Eric Fleischer and tried his best to suppress the price.

Looks like it's a thankless job~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because if it works, it's all thanks to Bass Jr. If things go wrong, the little boss will not

The main responsibility for the sticky pan is Zhao Yuanzheng.

For Zhao Yuanzheng, this matter is both danger and opportunity, and he has established a good relationship with Bass Jr. Therefore, he needs to continue to strengthen this relationship.

In the future, when this dude comes to power, the first confidant he will recommend will be Zhao Yuanzheng.

After that, Louis focused on coaching.

The Lakers had an amazing momentum. After being defeated by the Magic with a super home whistle, they started another winning streak.

Although Garnett was disturbed by the contract renewal issue and his performance declined, Bodi Loga and Duncan played more and more games and were completely accustomed to the rhythm and intensity of NBA games.

Bodi Loga recorded six triple-doubles in nine games. Duncan averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds per game in a single month.

The Lakers are like a circus, meeting all the needs of the audience.

You want super rookies, with Bodi Loga and Duncan. You want superstars, and Wilson is there.

You want farce, Garnett's contract renewal gossip, Rodman's off-court lace, Barkley's belly, choose one.

If you want to laugh, Benj's jersey meme is definitely not to be missed. At the beginning of the month, when the news about Mei Lianzong's affair with the interns spread, everyone asked, did you, President, wear Benj's jersey?

This was perhaps the most embarrassing moment of Benj's career. Whenever there is pornographic news, his jersey meme will appear. Compared with these things, the Lakers finished January with a 43-2 record.
