Chapter 253: Contract issues

On the morning of February 27, Li Liang got up early.
He got up and stretched out of bed, feeling refreshed.
The battle in the Boston Garden last night was really hearty.
Encouraged by his help, the Lakers all recovered their state and feelings.
In the second half, they slammed the Celtics, especially Li Liang's three-pointer, and the entire garden arena was silent.
In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship on the road and won the O'Brien Cup.
It broke the previous record of the Celtics finals against the Lakers in a six-game winning streak, as well as the myth of undefeated tiebreakers in the finals.
Jabal won the finals MVP, he deserved this honor.
That time and space NBA must have been changed that night. I don’t know what kind of innovation David Stern will make after taking office, and what impact it will have on the two traditional giants.
Li Liang's harvest is very rich, the fragments of the third golden shield, and more than 30,000 anger points.
This anger was really cool. He felt the enthusiasm of Boston fans. He also used his enthusiasm and three-pointers in return to let them enjoy a feast of basketball in the 21st century.
After getting up, Zhu Shu made breakfast for Li Liang downstairs.
She saw Li Liang looking very happy and asked him how he was in such a good mood.
Li Liangdao: "I had a dream last night and dreamed that I won the championship!"
Zhu Shu heard that he was dreaming and gave him a bowl of soup to let him drink sober.
"By the way, you slept early last night, Kupchak called and said that you might want to talk to you about the contract recently." Zhu Shu said.
"Contract? What kind of contract, when is this time, just talk to me about the contract?"
It's only the end of February, more than half of the season, and the playoffs are still early.
Li Liang did not expect that the Lakers had already begun to worry about the contract.
However, it is normal to think about it. Li Liang had a 55th pick. He scored the All-Star in the rookie season and scored the three-point king. The performance was very good.
In the summer, Li Liang’s contract has player options, and the Lakers can expect Li Liang to jump out of the contract.
At that time, Li Liang will become a restricted free agent, and the Lakers can match the quotations given by other teams.
The problem is, the Lakers have another problem in the summer, is to renew Howard.
Although Howard did not meet expectations due to injuries, his role is still obvious.
And he is only 28 years old this year, the peak of a center. The Lakers have no reason not to want to keep him.
If Howard is signed, plus the existing contract, the Lakers will have no room to sign Li Liang.
And because of the previous luxury tax, they have no special case of middle class and no special case of biennial.
They only have a more than 3 million mini middle class, is this worthy of Li Liang?
Match a few!
Zhu Shu communicated the relevant information with Li Liang. Li Liang's goal was to sign the top salary in the summer.
According to the terms of Arenas, if he jumps out of the contract this summer, other teams can only offer him a middle class.
The Lakers certainly can't match, so Kupchak is expected to persuade Li Liang not to jump out of the contract in the summer, waiting to test the free market in 2014.
How the Lakers keep Li Liang by then is another matter.
If his value is high enough, the Lakers will try their best to make room to sign Li Liang.
However, Li Liang did not really put money in his heart.
He cares about other things.
The book of the city of angels.
"You don't need to manage the contract in advance and finish this season. If Kupchak or the Lakers and others ask you to talk about the contract, you say, Bruce Lee concentrates on playing and doesn't want to talk about the contract." Li Liang told Zhu Shu.
Zhu Shu nodded, no objections.
If it is another broker, for the sake of large contracts and commercial value, he will definitely analyze with Li Liang what he can do to get the most benefit.
But Zhu Shu is different. She will think of Li Liang, but she will never think of Li Liang.
She knew that Li Liang had her own weight scale in her heart, and she could do her best when she needed it.
Do whatever he wants.
After discussing the contract at the dinner table, Li Liang drove to train.
...
Today the team still has no game, it is another training day.
Li Liang was not late this time. When he arrived at the Toyota Center, he found that the TWC TV station was back.
When he saw Li Liang, the photographer shot at him again.
The person in charge Williams stepped forward and asked Li Liang if he could accept the interview today.
Li Liang nodded his head and agreed that this TV station was not easy. He followed the Lakers every day.
So many games in a season, except that the process and score of each game are different, other things are actually the same.
Unless something unexpected happens to the team, such as a big deal, player injury, celebrity death, jersey retirement, etc.
The life of the team is not much different from those of office workers.
If the TV station wants to make a lot of pictures of it, it is necessary to rack up its brains to find a way.
After the training, Li Liang was invited to the general manager's office by Williams. Today the theme of the documentary is General Manager Kupchak's day.
Li Liang thought, what does Kupchak's day have to do with me? I am not his secretary.
Oh~ It must be related to the contract.
Sure enough, the shooting took place for a while. Kupchak talked to the players, chatted with the staff, and talked about the general manager's work every day in front of the camera.
Then he found an opportunity to pull Li Liang and asked: "Bruce, how is it feeling in Los Angeles, do you want to stay? You are now an All-Star, and your salary does not match yours."
Li Liang smiled and said, "Of course I want to stay, I want to get a top salary."
Hearing Li Liang saying this, Kupchak smiled on his face and said, "In the summer of 14 years, there will be a top salary waiting for you."
Kupchak's meaning is obvious. This year the executive player option is left. The Lakers will find a way to give him a high salary in the summer of 14 years.
As for whether it will be given at that time, let's talk about the situation in the summer of 14 years. Anyway, if it can be used for 500,000 yuan for another year, why not do it?
Li Liang sneered in his heart, want to Bai Laozi another season? It depends on your luck.
If the mission of the Angel City book is still related to the Los Angeles Lakers, he will stay with the Lakers and finish the mission on the book.
If the mission in the book has nothing to do with the Lakers, or if he needs to go to another team to start a new mission, then he can't control that much.
His goal is to be the strongest, not to be the team's totem.
Although it is a remarkable and proud thing to be a Lakers totem, Li Liang is not uncommon.
Is there anything, isn't it Kobe?
I don’t want to be Kobe.
Thinking about it in his heart, Li Liang said: "Of course I will consider, but now I still have to focus on the game. I hope to bring a championship to the Lakers."
He also said in his heart: If I could get you a championship, I wouldn't owe you, and I didn't have the sincerity to talk about the contract. Bringing the media to pressure me. Or Kupchak, and little Bass? What about Jenny Bath?
After the death of Jerry Bath, the Lakers have entered the era of Little Bath.
I don’t know if it’s Li’s idea to keep Li Liang.
Or he doesn’t want to keep Li Liang at all, who knows.
...
On February 28, the last day of February, the Lakers played against the Timberwolves at home.
This time the Lakers ushered in a big victory again, 119:94, 25 points swept the opponent.
After the All-Star game, the Lakers overall feel better and better.
Mike Brown's previous strategy to give Nash and Kobe more rest paid off.
Tonight, Kobe's condition is very good. He made 4 of 8 3-pointers, scored 33 points, sent 7 assists, and grabbed 8 rebounds.
Another MVP level performance.
The Timberwolves were suppressed throughout the game and fell behind from the first quarter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was beaten to no avail.
In contrast, Li Liang's data is not obvious, he put all his energy on defense.
Recently, he doesn't seem to care about whether the data looks good or not, even if he doesn't use the medal of "garbage king" during garbage time.
Why is it mature?
How can a mature player cling to data? What kind of triple-doubles and double-doubles do you use?
Winning is the most important thing.
Of course, another reason is that Li Liang has to focus on system tasks again.
He hopes to improve his strength a bit before the playoffs.
He would like to see what kind of basketball game this playoff is.
It's all basketball games, can there be any difference?
