Vol 2 Chapter 317: Big guy buried mine, Su Feng clause

In accordance with the new regulations after the labor negotiations and the requirements of Su Feng, the Raptors uniform team quickly reached a 5-year total value of about 54 million with Duffy, with a starting salary of 9 million, and the final year as a player option. , And added an oral agreement to veto the transaction in the contract.
Because Su Feng has no bird rights relationship with the Raptors, according to the verbal agreement reached between the two parties, the Raptors intend to formally renew their contract with Su Feng on July 1, when the free agent market opens.
However, just when the team general manager Grewward and owner Chad were preparing to open champagne to celebrate their success in leaving Su Feng...
Next door, Griffith owner Griffith quit.
This year, with the Raptors winning the championship, Vancouver fans have already become the shape of the Raptors.
Look at the sluggish market of the Grizzlies, and then look at the explosive attention of the Raptors...
Do you think Griffith can be in a hurry?
I think back then, when the Raptors and Grizzlies joined the NBA together, everyone was a difficult brother, but now...
I think of the future that the Raptors will be full of expectations after they renewed their contract with Su Feng...
Griffith admitted that he was sour.
On the 22nd, at the league’s boss season summary meeting, watching Chad, who kept taking advantage of the break in the meeting to learn about the championship parade, Griffith said at the meeting:
"I really can't imagine that an MVP player like Su will get a mere $9 million in salary next year!"
According to the regulations after labor negotiations, because the starting salary of a player's contract is related to the number of years of veteran playing in the NBA and the salary space of the team, after ending the rookie contract, the maximum starting salary that Su Feng can get is 9 million US dollars. .
And then, because Su Feng has no bird rights, he naturally cannot enjoy the highest salary increase for renewing the contract with the parent team like Kobe and Iverson.
In Su Feng's original time and space, in order to obtain bird rights in the Warriors in the future, Durant and the Warriors adopted a method of signing a short contract first, and then signing a large contract.
You know, in the NBA, there is also a gap between the maximum salary and the maximum salary.
The reason for this gap is because of the details that the league added in order to protect small and medium-sized teams in the 98/99 labor negotiations.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, after labor negotiations, NBA players who want to get the theoretical absolute maximum salary generally have to wait until the third major contract, or to have a certain number of years in the NBA.
It is obvious that these rules and regulations also laid the fuse for the future shutdown.
Because just like Griffith said, although Su Feng is only 21 years old, as the MVP, he can only get 9 million US dollars next year.
Some All-Star players who have not even touched the floor in the semifinals benefited from the NBA before the labor negotiations, and can get nearly $17 million in salary next season...
Do you say this is fair?
Therefore, as a "righteous person", Griffith believes that he must stand up to create a wave of injustice for Su Feng.
"I also think that an MVP like Su, who only took 9 million US dollars, is really incredible."
On the side, Old Buss, who knew what Griffith wanted to do, echoed immediately after listening to Griffith's words.
As a natural opposition to the players, it seems that Griffith and Buzz are trying to give Su Feng a raise in this wave of operations, but in fact, these people have other plans in their hearts.
After weighing a wave of pros and cons in his heart, as one of the participants in this meeting, Stern also discovered a very serious problem.
That is, if the Raptors can really sign Su Feng with this extremely cost-effective maximum salary contract, then he will have a headache if he wants to dismantle the Raptors again.
Because even though Su Feng will only take more than $1 million less than Kobe, Iverson and others in the future, for the NBA of this era, more than $1 million in salary space is enough for the Raptors to sign in the free agent market. The next high-quality veteran will add to the team's immediate strength.
So, to favor the Raptors is to favor the Raptors...
For Stern, who does not want the NBA to have a monopoly for too long, the thunder that should be buried for the Raptors must be buried.
In addition, in Stern's view, if a supernova like Su Feng can't match his worth with the first maximum salary contract, it will easily lose the motivation for future young people to fight.
So, after discussing for an afternoon, Stern and the bosses decided to take advantage of the opportunity of Su Feng's contract renewal to increase the motivation for future young people to play.
And Raptors boss Chad, when he noticed that so many people were paying attention to the contract renewal between Raptors and Su Feng, he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
As soon as he returned to Toronto, Chad called Grewward to discuss and informed Grewward of the meeting.
After hearing the news, Grewward had to smile wryly: "It seems that we have to negotiate with Su Lai again for a new contract."
"I have the same idea, no matter what he wants, we will give it." Chad nodded.
Although he is usually stingy, Chad knows very well that the more other teams are looking forward to the Raptors' death, the more he has to leave Su Feng.
...
"Huh? The'Su Feng Clause'?"
On the 23rd, when we learned from Bill Duffy that the league was about to launch the "Su Feng Clause", Su Feng, who was practicing tossing with Fraser at the time, almost didn’t spray a sip of Gatorade on Fraser’s face. .
"Yes, if we follow the new rules, we will be able to get 30% of the starting salary." Duffy smiled on the phone.
I drop a Westbrook...
In this life, Su Feng never expected that because of his own relationship, the "Ross Clause" would be born in the 1990s.
"What does the Raptors management mean?" Su Feng asked curiously.
"They mean that after the new rules are released, they will renew their contract with you and give you the treatment that MVP players deserve." Duffy said.
Su Feng nodded, I have to say that the Raptors are indeed full of sincerity in this contract renewal negotiation with him.
just......
Unlike the starting salary which occupies 25% of the team's salary space, 30%...
hiss----!
After taking a sigh of relief, Su Feng quickly realized how difficult it is for a team to create a dynasty in the NBA.
Because Stern had already begun to mine the Raptors without even waiting for the future.
It seems that the "Su Feng Clause" is about processing salary for himself, but in fact, Su Feng is very clear that it is compressing the Raptors' future salary space by processing salary for himself.
clever!
It is too clever!
Different from the "joke" who only knows how to play damage tricks behind the scenes, Stern, who has always only played with arrogance in the dismantling of the team, even Su Feng has to be convinced.
Because since this clause is named after his own name, it is impossible for Su Feng to refuse a raise?
Wake up, for Su Feng, who has now changed his ideal of life to become the number one player in basketball, to the pinnacle of his life, and marry Bai Fumei, he will not do the kind of stupid things that damage his reputation.
Moreover, Su Feng has no reason to help the Raptors save money.
In addition, Stern may not believe it, and Su Feng will go by himself without him even dismantling it in the future.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Su Feng said to Duffy: "Then I have to add a condition to this renewal."
On the phone, when he heard that Su Feng had to make a request, Duffy felt that it was Su Feng that he had said to him, because if this was changed to someone else, Duffy would definitely kick it directly.
"This is also Steve's contract year, right?
Therefore, the condition I want to add is that the Raptors must first renew their contract with Steve after the free agent market opens, otherwise I won't play no matter how much money is given to me. "Su Feng said.
"Huh?" Duffy was surprised on the phone.
Nash doesn't fight, you don't fight either?
and many more......
Duffy, who is also Nash's agent, always feels that he has been cheated by Su Feng.
Because if he just ran to make a request to the Raptors, then you think about how the world will treat him Duffy.
Although Su Feng's move is equivalent to indirectly helping Nash and himself, but this will inevitably be thought that Duffy is a vampire agent, taking the opportunity to blackmail the Raptors.
however......
Facing Su Feng's decisive attitude, the honest man Duffy was destined to only take the blame for Su Feng this time.
Sure enough, when Duffy passed Su Feng's original words to the Raptors uniform team, Grewward hated the "insatiable" Bill Duffy in his heart.
However, facing this Su Feng's agent, even if Grewward didn't care about his anger, he had to greet him with a smile.
In fact, Su Feng asked Duffy to make such a request because he was worried that because of the "Su Feng clause", the Raptors would squeeze Nash in the next contract extension with Nash, which would cause Nash to be dissatisfied. Leave the team directly.
You know, as the helmsman of the Toronto Black Pearl, Su Feng's organizational talents can now all rely on Nash...Ah yeah, the Raptors' offense next season is all counted on Nash to sort out.
Therefore, although there are other point guards on the market to choose from, if Su Feng must be chosen, at least in his Toronto career, the man he hopes to be at the helm...
It's Nash.
Obviously, Su Feng's worry is right.
Because even if the Raptors are soaring this season, Chad's stingy attributes are unlikely to change.
In competitive sports, there are always fans who question some team owners.
That is, the team obviously can win the championship with a little more money, but why are these bosses unwilling to spend money?
In the world sports arena, bosses like Chad are no longer in the minority.
Su Feng's previous life, when he was a fan, he couldn't understand why the Manchester United boss wanted to let go of Ronaldo, why AC Milan wanted to let go of Kaka, or even why Alexander was unwilling to invest more in Yao Mai.
But in this life, after thinking from the perspective of capitalists, these problems were quickly solved.
Because for capitalists, if they can achieve success with the least amount of money, why not do it?
From the perspective of making money, spending less money means making money.
Therefore, when Grewward decided to provide Su Feng with a new contract, Chad also gave Grewward a death order to save expenses in other areas.
With McGrady’s rookie contract benefits still available for a year, in Chad’s view, it’s not impossible for the team to pay some luxury taxes appropriately, but if the salary cap exceeds the standard too much, it will be difficult for him to make money even if he wins the championship. Earn it.
Before the NBA’s new TV agreement was negotiated, in fact, there were only one or two teams that could make money in the NBA.
Therefore, at Chad's instruction, Grewward did intend to give Nash a slightly lower contract than the market.
but......
Now forced by Duffy's lewd prestige of "bringing Su Feng to order the uniform group", he Grewward, even with ten heads, would not dare to pressure Nash's price.
"Sue, I heard Bill say, I didn't expect you to help me like this."
As for Toronto, when he learned that he had been favored by Su Feng again, at this moment, that is, Nash was no longer a female, otherwise he would have to agree with him.
According to the preliminary agreement that the Raptors proposed to Nash, Nash will sign a 5-year contract with the Raptors with a total value of approximately $33 million.
This contract is about 5 million larger than the contract signed by Nash in the Mavericks in Su Feng's previous life, because Nash in this life has a championship bonus.
In addition, like Su Feng, Nash also chose the player option in the last year of his contract.
Because although as a Canadian, Nash likes to play in Toronto, he also sees the "future" of the Raptors from this negotiation.
Nash knew very well that it would be difficult for this Raptors to form such a strong team after the contract with him, Daben and Su Feng expired.
Therefore, he does not want to give his destiny to this small team by then.
After completing the contract extension between Su Feng and Nash, Joe Smith, as Su Feng expected, came to say goodbye to his teammates before the team's championship parade began.
At present, there are not a few teams willing to provide Joe Smith with a large contract. In this life, without the shackles of the Yin and Yang contract, not only is the future of Joe Smith brighter, but also the future of the Timberwolves without the penalty of the league. More expected.
In a daze, Su Feng, who had already smashed history, was preparing to participate in the team's championship parade, and at the same time he began to look at the 1999 draft congress list and fell into contemplation.
In the 1999 draft, there were two famous international players.
One is Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK47".
The other is Ginobili, nicknamed "Pampas Vulture".
In Su Feng's previous life, these two players will be selected by the Jazz and Spurs at the 24th place in the first round and at the end of the second round.
Judging from the two draft picks that the Raptors have this year, if you want to choose Kirilenko, the Raptors must trade up.
Because of the excellent performance of the Raptors in the 98/99 season, their two draft picks this year are relatively late.
However, Su Feng didn't intend to bother with these two great gods this time.
Because Kirilenko and Ginobili both have a fatal problem, that is, they have contracts with their old European clubs.
If Su Feng remembers correctly, Kirilenko would have to wait until 2001 to be able to land in the NBA, and Ginobili would be even later. This product has to wait until 2002 to be able to land in the NBA.
In Su Feng's previous life, in the 1999 draft, the picks of these two were not high, which was related to their contract with the European team.
For the current Raptors, there is no doubt that combat power is what the Raptors most urgently need.
In addition, it is certain that Su Feng will leave the Raptors in the future, so he doesn't want to work hard to train new people for the Raptors.
You know, when Ginobili and Kirilenko finish leveling, then Su Feng may have left the Raptors.
Moreover, even if Su Feng could use his mouth to persuade Kirilenko and Ginobili to join the NBA in advance, it would be useless.
Because the NBA limits the team's buyout fees for international players, this time, Raptors owner Chad couldn't do it even if he wanted to spend money.
Therefore, under Su Feng's hint, Davis quickly handed his reinforcement plan to Grewward's hands.
There are a lot of high-quality rookies in 1999, so if you can trade upwards, then trade upwards as much as possible.
And if there is no way to trade up, then use these two draft picks as a bargaining chip to exchange for a meat shield that can carry O'Neal.
For Su Feng, who knows how abnormal O'Neal will be next season, in his opinion, if the Raptors want to defend their title next season, they must plan from now on how to sink this fathead.
After all, the lineup consists of O'Neal, Kobe, Rice, Lewis and others. From the perspective of book strength, this Laker is definitely better than the one in Su Feng's memory.
As for the opponents in the East...
Not to mention opponents like Pacers and Heat.
After practicing for the first year, the ghost knows how strong the Celtics will become next season...
There is a saying ~EbookFREE.me~ The Raptors want to defend their title next season, and the difficulty is definitely the Galaxy.
"This championship is the key to winning..."
On this day, touching his falling hair, Su Feng said with emotion in his heart.
Because if he hadn't won this championship this season, then he wanted to win the championship in the future, and he really didn't know how long he would have to wait.
In short, it is good to lead at the start.
But if you forget the awe of this era, it is only a matter of time before Su Feng is overtaken...
