Chapter 92: Bitter gourd

　　 "Lee, this contract is crazy, I'm sorry, we can't promise you!" Orch, the president of basketball affairs, said to Richard very seriously.
　　 "How crazy?! I can't see anything crazy at all!"
　　 "Ben Wallace is worth the price!"
　　 "This contract must be signed!"
　　Richard made no concessions. In this kind of matter, he must fight for the interests of his proud disciples!
　　 "Li, don't get me wrong, we believe your vision!"
　　 "Otherwise, you won't get a green light on all three transactions before you!"
　　 "The problem now is that we don't have to waste so much money! Man, that's millions of dollars, not thousands of dollars!"
　　The team's chief financial officer Christensen may see that Richard is a little bit angry, and quickly rounded the field.
　　 But his rounding field did not play any role, but instead let Richard completely lose patience!
　　 "Waste?! You still doubt my vision!"
　　 "I don't want to see my player holding a base salary contract after entering the All-Star two years later!"
　　 "Ben Wallace must get a decent contract!"
　　 Richard almost yelled at the Blazers management.
　　Orsh and Christensen looked at each other and entered the All-Star two years later? ! How did you get to the All-Star?
　　 Ben-Wallace can enter the All-Star two years later? !
　　 This is a big joke...
　　 But even if they felt funny, the two did not dare to show it. They knew that Richard was in a rage, and the ghost knew what kind of trouble would continue to provoke him!
　　 "Li, let's think about it..."
　　 "You know this kind of thing, it is really tricky, after all, it is the boss's money, we naturally have to consult the boss..."
　　 The two feel very suffocated, they are the team's real executives, how to pretend to be grandson in front of Richard...
　　 "Three days!"
　　 "I will give you three days!"
　　Follow, Richard left the office, his anger still did not dissipate.
Richard even considered using his own salary to subsidize Big Ben, but this kind of operation is unlawful. It is regarded as a kind of shady operation. Once found, his and Daben’s careers are estimated to be cold. It's cold...
　　……
　　Going back to his head coach's office, Carlisle sees the angry Richard, asking curiously what happened!
　　 "Lee, in fact, I don't blame Orsh..."
　　 "The boss has been reducing expenditures in the past two years, you can see the salary of our pioneers in the past two years..."
　　Richard, stunned, cut spending? !
　　 "Isn't Paul the top rich?"
　　 Carlisle smiled bitterly: "Yes, he is indeed the top rich, but he is a businessman..."
　　 "The idea of ​​rebuilding the team, actually Paul had it last season..."
　　Finally, Carlisle took a piece of paper and listed the team's salary for the past two years.
　　 The total salary of 23.5 million US dollars in the 93 season, close to 27 million US dollars in the 94 season, and the 95 season is the last season, it was reduced to 23.2 million US dollars!
　　 didn't seem to have changed much at first, but Richard saw the mystery!
　　93 and 94 seasons, the NBA salary cap is only a little more than 15 million US dollars, Paul Allen is really daring to spend money, especially in the 94 season, the Blazers' salary is ranked second in the league!
　　After signing the new CBA agreement in 1995, the salary cap soared. This is the largest increase in the history of the entire NBA salary cap, directly from the original 15 million to 23 million!
　　 The total salary of the Blazers has been reduced!
　　Carlisle is right, Paul Allen is really cutting expenses...
　　 The biggest reason is that he was completely disappointed with the Blazers' record. Especially in the 94 season, the Blazers spent the second highest salary in the league, but only played a first-round game record...
　　 I am afraid that any boss will vomit blood angrily!
　　Not to mention Paul Allen, a businessman with a high IQ. The businessman is pursuing profits. This is a loss-making business, and the fool is willing to do it...
　　 simply began to reduce spending last season. This season, heavy money invited Richard to start a big deal and clean up the team's salary space!
　　 On the one hand, Richard's ability really made Paul Allen recognize it. He pinned the team's future hope on Richard...
　　 On the other hand, Richard's arrival will definitely clean up the team's backbone players and enable newcomers!
　　 The biggest advantage of the newcomer is that it is cheap, which is virtually equal to continue to clean up the salary space of the team for Paul Allen!
　　……
　　Richard has some pain, it seems that Paul Allen’s IQ of up to 170 is really not a joke...
　　If Carlisle did not remind me today, Richard would not have noticed the door.
　　Since the boss wants to reduce expenses, then some things have to be relaxed...
　　 Originally, Richard felt that Paul Allen was not short of money, and when the contract of all the rookies had expired, all contracts could be renewed. Now it seems that this is a bit difficult...,
　　 Unless Richard can make the pioneers produce amazing benefits during this time.
　　……
　　Three days later, Big Ben appeared in Richard's office!
　　 "Coach, Orsh, they called me yesterday and said that Paul Allen agreed, and they are willing to give a three-year, three-million-dollar contract!" Big Ben was full of surprises...
　　Richard also breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that Paul Allen would be reluctant to give the contract to Big Ben in the case of reducing expenses.
　　 "Hoo, did you sign the contract yesterday?"
　　 "No..." Omoto said with a smile.
"No? Then sign it today, and I can rest assured..." Richard relaxes~EbookFREE.me~ After the big contract is settled, almost all the preparations for the new season are completed. Formally started training!
　　 "Coach, I rejected this contract..." Daben scratched his head and smiled...
　　Richard almost spit out old blood, refused? !
　　Laozi almost lifted the table to help you win the contract, but your kid refused...
　　 "Coach, don't worry, listen to me..."
　　 "Cough, in fact, I wanted to enter the league as a second-round show from the beginning, because the second-round show does not need to sign a standard rookie contract, just sign a one-year guarantee contract..."
　　 "Do you think, under my hands, I still can't make a price in a year?!"
　　 "My age is older than Iverson, so I have to think of ways to get a big salary early..."
　　 "Hey, I might be the first person in our West Lafayette gang to get a high salary!"
　　 Richard was dumbfounded, is this really a big book? ! Did this brain seed open to God? Such a chicken thief!
　　 I ignored this problem. I just thought about getting a decent contract for Big Ben, but I didn't notice that Big Ben doesn't need it at all!
　　In the current era, there are actually many loopholes in wage agreements. Most of the agreements on player salaries were negotiated during the 1999 wage negotiations.
　　 Big Ben's ideas simply shocked Richard!
After playing for Richard under this season, Big Ben couldn't even play the value of an All-Star, but when the Blazers want to renew the big book with an annual salary of one million, it is completely impossible. !
　　 Advance by retreating!
　　 first bitter then sweet!
　　Eat bitter gourds before you can ride a Land Rover!
　　 Big Ben is simply a personal talent...
