At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Andy Miller saw his guest in his office, a guy who had just lost his job in the NBA, Jeff Trippnell. Miller looked at the other party's English spelling "" and thought for a while before remembering the pinyin of his last name, then stood up and shook hands with the other party and asked him to sit down.
Trippnell, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard with Latin American descent, is an unknown basketball player in the United States. Perhaps he was once a superstar at California Compton High School and a good scorer at ncaa. But in NBA, he is nothing.
Miller didn’t intend to pour him a cup of coffee or any drink, because Miller knew that since this person came to his office, then he took the initiative to ask for a contract with him. For those guys who came to ask for help, Miller thought he wanted Let them feel the atmosphere of asking for help. But Miller took the lead and said, "Let’s talk about the contract. After you were traded to the Nuggets last year, there was no broker, right? When will the contract with the last broker be signed? Is there anything? Special terms or restrictions?"
As an agent, Miller cares most about the contract-related matters. He knows that he will not make too much money in this business. He is only entrusted by others and upholds the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat. Meet with Tripnil. Today there is a basketball training camp in New York, and Tripniel personally visited and wanted to have a good agent like Andy Miller to win a good contract for himself.
"Yes, there was a breakdown between me and Aaron Mintz. The contract he won for me was really terrible. I only got a one-year contract. The Cavaliers lay off me, but I don't want to play in the nbdl, I still want to stay in the nba. I play in the major leagues. But I don't know what to do, I need some reasonable advice and help..."Trippnell knows his current situation. A good player is not used in the agent's office, the agent will find him. Players like him who are unemployed from the NBA and want to return to the NBA have to rely on some relationships or luck to seek the help of a good agent. If they can win a three-year contract, at least he will not be in ten years. I need to worry about my livelihood.
NBA has a glamorous big stage, where it belongs to superstars, they never need to worry about money, they need to fight for honor. Fight for status, fight for victory. At the bottom of the league, many players just want to get a contract with their own ability. After all, even the basic salary in the NBA is hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It is the annual salary of executives in the society. For those black boys who have never finished college, the temptation of such a contract is far greater than that of a championship.
Miller looked at the eager-eyed Trippnell in front of him, and pulled out a piece of information he had prepared from the drawer, which was some of the data performance of Trippnell in the year of college and NBA. Although Miller looked down on this mosquito meat business, he was an agent who had been in the NBA for almost ten years. He still has some basic qualities. He threw this data to Trippnell and said: "Look at your data and performance, no matter what kind of mouth I have. I can't get the NBA boss to give you Send money, isn’t it? It’s useless even if I blow him up. So, you’d better hire a personal trainer to strengthen your ability from start to finish. I suggest you better enhance your three-point shooting ability. Now Every team has a growing demand for three-pointers. If you don’t have a personal coach, you can sign up for some training camps, get to know some people, and improve yourself. As for the team, as long as you sign with me Contract, I will contact you naturally. I know many scouts in the league. By the way, you haven't told me. What about your contract with your previous agent?"
Miller told Tripnell what he was going to do next, and at the same time did not forget to ask him about the contract. This is still very important to him. If Tripnell still has a contract, he will The legal disputes caused by embarrassing peer competition are very unwilling to see Miller, who is now preparing to establish a brokerage company..
"Oh, I still have a contract with Aaron Mintz. I signed a two-year brokerage contract with him, but since this year he will not care about me and help me find the team. Just to visit the rookies who will join the NBA this year... Anyway, I don't want to stay under him anymore, I want to change agents." Trippnell said with some excitement.
"Hmm...it’s certainly more important to pay attention to those rookies than to pay attention to you..." Miller snorted coldly in his heart. 2003 will be a recognized draft year, and all the agents are gearing up to show off in these future stars. Skills, once you hook a newcomer, such as LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh, you can imagine how lucrative benefits are waiting for them.
Thinking of this, Miller didn’t want to say anything to Tripnell. He took a contract from the bookshelf and threw it to Tripnell, saying: "Let’s take a look at the contract framework. Don’t sign it in a hurry. Later, you will find a place to send a fax to your agent, telling him that you want to cancel the contract, receive the reply and sign and fax it, and then decide to sign with me. Remember, find a place away from me to send Fax, there are many office buildings around here, find a printing shop to send it. Remember, don’t send it to me!"
After emphasizing these, Miller said to Trippnell in a relatively soft tone: "How is Henry now, is he okay in Los Angeles? How is his relationship with his son."
The Henry in Miller's mouth is Henry Bibby, the head coach of the University of Southern California basketball team, because Trippnell graduated from the University of Southern California, and Henry Bibby introduced him to Andy Miller. Before Miller entered the agent circle, he had a lot of contact with Bibby, who coached in the lower leagues, and learned a lot from him. Later, when he became an agent in 1995, Bibby also happened to be the coach of ncaa, providing Miller with a lot of scout intelligence. Although the two of them have less practice now, Miller is still willing to help. of.
Of course, Miller does not value his love with Bibby. On the one hand, he hopes that the relationship between Henry Bibby and Mike Bibby can win Mike Bibby to expand his own player strength. The relationship between father and son power and water and fire seems basically impossible. On the other hand, Miller also targeted the strong little point guard Will Bynum in the Bibby team, and hopes that he can join the NBA two years later when he joins the NBA.
Although Bynum is not a super genius, he is also a very talented player. At this time, Miller is a greedy glutton, and he does not miss any opportunity to absorb good players. For this reason, he does not mind signing like Trippnell. Such a mosquito meat player.
Tripniel thought for a while and replied: "Um... the coach is pretty good~EbookFREE.me~ But his contract with the university is about to expire. It is said that he may go to the NBA to seek a position. Also. I hope he can succeed..." Trippnell said a few vague words, took the contract and said goodbye to Miller, and told Miller that he would come to sign a new contract in 15 days. After a broker contract is terminated, you need to wait 15 days before signing a new broker contract.
Miller just nodded and didn't think of getting up to send Trippnell. At this time, his thoughts returned to the preparation of his new company, how to restrain the Celtics, how to sign more superstars, and this year It's up to a beautiful victory in the draft.
And Tripniel, after leaving Miller's office, went directly to a print shop downstairs in the building and sent his intention to cancel the contract to his agent, Aron Mintz.
Aaron Mintz, has been waiting for this fax in his office for a long time.
