Chapter 9: , Sign the contract!

　　After being selected, Xue Ding felt more at ease.
　　Xue Ding and Tom came out and met the pioneer general manager Kevin Pritchard and the president Larry Miller, the legendary NBA richest boss Paul Allen did not come over.
　　First meeting, Xue Ding had a good impression of Pritchard.
　　 This is a serious person who speaks very kindly.
　　In the memory of Xue Ding, Pritchard's selection ability is also very strong.
In 2006, the first general manager of the Blazers, Pritchard, through dazzling operations, brought Portland two stars of hope from the barren 2006 draft, Brandon Roy and LaMarcus- Aldridge laid the cornerstone of the Blazers' revival.
In 2007, the talented Blazers hesitated to hold the No. 1 pick, and in the end Pritchard chose Greg Oden, who was sent to the last hope of the American center, and also bought the Phoenix Suns. Rudy Fernandez, the hot guy in Spain.
　　 In the following draft day, Pritchard still frequently attacked, winning high-quality newcomers such as Jerry Belles and Nicolas Batum.
　　 If it wasn't for the injury that affected the Trail Blazers, his picks were far enough to match Thunder General Manager Presti.
　　 Xue Ding and Pritchard took the Trail Blazer jersey together and took photos, Xue Ding asked his psychological question.
　　Xue Ding asked: "Prichard, why did you choose me? I remember I didn't go to your training!"
Pritchard said with a smile: "Ha ha, Xue, I watched the video you sent for the first time. Your training video was sent to the team's mailbox. I wouldn't find you like this if the intern forwarded it to me. A genius. After that, I also watched your joint trial match. It was cool. At that time, Larry and I decided to choose you, and we will avoid the trial afterwards."
　　 Xue Ding looked back at Tom: "Team mailbox?"
　　 The team's mailbox is essentially different from the general manager's mailbox, which is the difference between the company's mailbox and the boss's private mailbox. The boss almost always looks at the private mailbox, but the company mailbox may not necessarily be read by the boss.
　　 Apparently, Tom sent the team's mailbox.
　　 Tom touched his head awkwardly and said, "Haha, don't I know their mailbox? Kevin, I also promise you the right choice tonight, Xue will be the top point guard."
　　 Xue Ding spread his hand, a little helpless.
　　As a manager, Tom is indeed Tom’s shortcoming in terms of resources, but this guy does work very hard, and it’s not too much to blame.
　　Prichard continued: "Xue, welcome you to join the Blazers, what number of jerseys do you want to wear?"
　　 Xue Ding replied without hesitation: "No. 1."
　　Prichard nodded!
　　 President Larry Miller said: "Xue, the team will sign you, will not trade, now do you have any requirements for us?"
　　Xue Ding hesitated for a long time and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can you replace the pioneer's veterinarian, no, team medical team..."
　　 "Ha ha ha ha."
　　 Several people laughed at the same time.
　　 Xue Ding communicated with Pritchard again, and then the general manager had to go to the draft again.
　　Xue Ding is also waiting for the end of the draft conference. The Blazers have 1 first-round pick and 2 second-round picks this year.
　　 In the second round, the Blazers selected Cunningham and one selected Patti Mills.
　　 Seeing these two, Xue Ding also admired the general manager's selection vision, and the selection quality is absolutely not bad! !
Dante Cunningham has a relatively short stature as a power forward, but can open up space and has a certain three-point shooting ability. Although the shooting rate is lower than the average level, the defensive effect is good when facing the 3rd and 4th positions. Being able to stay in the NBA for a rotation is not easy for the second round.
Patty Mills is a fast short point guard. The first option is to score instead of passing. The shooting is accurate. He can shoot or catch the ball. The defensive end is very flexible and good at steals. Although he loses his height, but His strength finally stabilized the Spurs' starter before Xue Ding crossed back!
　　..............................
　　After four hours of two rounds of drafts, the nba2009 draft was finally drawn.
　　According to the process, the rookies selected in the first round must all get together and take a photo with David Stern. ???
　　 "Kaka Kaka!!!"
　　 Xue Ding's smile entered the group photo of the NBA 2009 rookie. He was accompanied by Griffin, Curry, Harden, DeRozan and others! ! ! ?????
　　 "The Age of Violent Point Guard"
　　 "Chinese defender Xue Ding joined the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round 22nd place"
　　 "The Prosperous Age of Chinese Basketball"
　　 "The fourth active NBA Chinese player"
　　 When taking pictures, the reporters of various media in China had already finished the title and welcomed the Chinese basketball player to join the NBA!
　　? Up to this point, the draft is all over!
　　Reporters from China watched Xue Dingang head out of the arena, and they were filled with infinite expectations.
　　???Even if Yao Ming is seriously injured and the Arab League is in poor condition, the future of Chinese basketball may not be as dark as expected! !
　　? Just three days later, Tom and Xue Ding visited Portland.
　　? In the general manager's office, Xue Ding signed his name on the contract the Blazers gave him.
　　 From this moment, Xue Ding, he really became an NBA player! ???????
　　 NBA rookie contract itself does not have continuity (2+2).
　　 The salary of all rookies is pre-determined by the league and the player union through a negotiated labor bargaining contract (CBA).
　　Although the first contract of the NBA rookie has a certain degree of flexibility, in fact players have almost no advantage in the contract, and the potential salary is also limited by the allocation value stipulated in the labor agreement.
　　The first two years of all first-round rookie contracts are guaranteed contracts, and the third and fourth years are team options.
　　After the two-year contract, the rookie can sign a continuation contract with a minimum distribution value of 80% or a maximum of 120% within one year, but it is very rare to sign a contract that is much lower than 120%.
　　 This allocation value is determined according to the rookie's order and only applies to the third-year contract, and the fourth-year salary is taken as the percentage of the third-year contract salary.
　　Importantly, only the first-round rookies are applicable to this type of value assignment contract, and usually a rookie will sign 120% of the contract
The Trail Blazers awarded Xue Ding a one-two-two-two standard rookie contract. Xue Ding's salary in the first year was only $980,000, the second year was $1.05 million, the third year was $1.12 million, and the fourth year was $1.8 million , UU reading www.uukanshu.com is a total of USD 4.95 million in 4 years.
　　The contract of each pick in the first round is very different. For example, the salary of No. 1 show Griffin is 25 million in 4 years, and his first year is as high as 5 million US dollars, which is more than Xue Ding's total contract.
It is very common that the contract at the end of the first round is not as high as the second round.
　　 For this amount of money, Xue Ding did not particularly mind.
　　 Compared to money, Xue Ding needs more time and platform. Xue Ding believes that he can get the top salary when renewing the next contract! ! !
　　 nba's average player's career is only 3 to 4 years, which is almost the time of a rookie contract. ???????
　　? If Xue Ding failed to make a price within a few years, then he could only leave this world of flashes full of money, news, miracles and much attention with a bag. ??????
　　 Although the salary in the first round is very low in the NBA, now Xue Ding is already a real millionaire! He is enough to pay for his living expenses, and he can still pay his parents.
　　Xue Ding's agent Tom, under the terms of the current labor agreement, got 3% of Xue Ding's contract, which is about 150,000 US dollars!
　　 Tom is actually not interested in Xue Ding's player contract commission, he valued the Chinese market behind Xue Ding! ! !
　　In the player's endorsement of this fat, the agent will have a 15% commission at that time!
　　 Tom can’t wait to negotiate with bosses from China.
　　After Xue Ding and Tom came out of the team's office, the two of them slammed their hands!
　　 Then the two laughed in unison.
　　 Cooperation for this draft.
　　 Both have proved that they are not weak! !
