"Originally, our contract offer to Korver was 1.5 million in three years, and the negotiations went smoothly, but the Chicagoans opened a three-year contract of 1.8 million in three years, and the negotiations were deadlocked. Later, I added a third year to the contract Player options, the two sides returned to the negotiating table, and then in the morning, the Chicagoans opened a three-year 20 million contract ... "
Tang Tian was lost in thought after listening.
For the Bulls, Brad Miller's contract expires this summer, coupled with the fact that they traded Hinrich, the core lineup is mainly rookie, and the salary space is quite healthy.
The Cavaliers have only one middle class, and they really can't compete.
After all, in the years when players are playing, the temptation of the championship is far less than money.
"Miller's situation is similar. The Heat's contract is 3.2 million in five years, and we can't compete at all." Dante was helpless.
Signing such things, negotiation ability is one aspect, but more depends on the actual situation of the team.
"I see, you go down first." Tang Tian waved at Dante.
When Dante went out, he frowned and thought deeply.
In the last season of the Rockets, because of the strength of the team's lineup and the relationship between the impact of three consecutive dynasties, the other 29 teams in the league tried to prevent the Rockets from winning.
At that time, the Rockets were the enemy of the league.
Now, the Cavaliers sit on the Big Three and have not become the enemy of the league before they start.
In other words, the Cavaliers' existing lineup, other teams are working hard and still have a chance. If they add Korver or Miller, they really don't need to play.
So, these situations that Dante just said are unexpected, but it seems reasonable to think carefully.
It seems that these high-quality role players, other teams will not let him easily sign.
Ronnie Brewer, Matt Barnes, Ryan Gomez.
Tang Tian wrote down the names of these three people.
All three are good 3D players, but their strength is worse than Korver and Miller, and their value in the free agency market is correspondingly lower.
After he wrote the name, he ordered Dante to go down and contact them.
At the same time, the various contracts and transactions of the alliance are also ongoing.
Stoudemire signed the Knicks with a top salary of 5 years.
Wade renewed the Heat for six years.
Joe Johnson stayed with the Eagles for 5 years.
Boozer signed a contract with the Bulls for 8 years.
...
On the Rockets side, after the negotiations between McGrady and the Rockets, the two parties finally reached a 6-year contract with the option of top salary.
Yi Jianlian renewed his contract 3 years in advance.
Salmons renewed his contract for 3 years.
After losing Yao Ming, they did not get a big supplement in the free market. Although they reluctantly maintained the core lineup of last season through renewal of the contract, the weakness in strength has been unstoppable.
...
As the Cavaliers, the league's public enemy, players who expired last season also received very good new contracts.
O'Neal signed the Celtics with 1ooo million in 2 years, this should be the last contract of the old Sharks career.
After signing the contract, O'Neal made a special trip to Cleveland and Tang Tian for a meal and gave him two pairs of Jordan sneakers to thank.
Novak signed the Mavericks for 15oo million in 4 years.
The Mavericks got Chandler in the summer trade, and their strength was obviously enhanced. They are tinkering and they are also impacting the championship.
Both Ben Wallace and Michael Finley chose to retire after winning the championship.
...
As other players continue to sign contracts, the Cavaliers have less and less choice.
The feedback from Dante was also not good.
After knowing that the Cavaliers are interested, the Bulls and Clippers both raised the offer to more than 50 million.
The meaning is very obvious.
As long as it is what you want, we will not give it to you.
Tang Tian couldn't sit still, so Dante bought a ticket to Orlando, and the two flew directly.
In the apartment where Barnes lived, they saw this tattooed player.
The apartment is a bit messy and has a strong smell of wine.
As a well-known in the league, he recently had a conflict with his girlfriend, Gloria Govin. If you don't know him, you will feel that this is a mixed family in the American society, not a professional player.
Barnes was surprised by Tang Tian's personal visit. He removed all the dirt on the sand, and went to the downstairs to buy two cups of coffee. It was a warm hospitality.
Dante frowned slightly, such a player is really not acceptable to ordinary people.
Even the famous villain Artest, his private life is not so bad.
Tang Tian didn't care. Barnes actually played well on the court. Take last year, for example, he signed a basic salary contract with the Magic, averaging 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, the absolute value, but the Magic did not want to He meant to renew his contract.
Because of this player, there are constant off-court problems, and it is still a locker room bomb.
This is probably why even though the Cavaliers revealed their intention to sign the contract, other teams have not responded much.
They can kill eight hundred enemies and damage one thousand, but there are limits.
"I want to invite you to play for the Cavaliers. Are you interested?" Tang Tian opened his eyes.
"Sorry, you are late. I have promised the Lakers. I will go to Los Angeles next season." Barnes said with a smile.
Tang Tian looked at Dante next to him in doubt, before Dante didn't say this.
Dante was also puzzled.
"Just before you came, Jesse Buss, the Lakers' operations director, has already come, and we have negotiated the contract, 3 years and 350,000." Barnes is not the kind of tortuous person.
The Lakers reacted fast enough.
"Is the contract signed?" Tang Tian asked.
"Not yet, but I can sign in Los Angeles next week."
Tang Tian turned his head and glanced at Dante.
Dante then pulled out a file from the folder.
"75 million in three years, the Cavaliers have only a few hundred thousand space from luxury tax, that is, the actual value of this contract should be 1.5 million in three years."
Tang Tian continued.
Barnes froze.
He looked at the document, and it turned out to be a contract.
All the terms have been clearly written, only the signature field is blank.
"I know you have the power ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But because of off-site issues, other teams are afraid to sign you, or dare not sign a long contract with you, but I ’m different. To be honest, two years ago While in Houston, I had wanted to recruit you into the team, but then General Manager Morey did not agree.
Sorry, but fortunately the opportunity is here again.
So are you now interested in becoming a championship team and becoming part of the dynasty?
And I'm different from everyone else, I'm not afraid of you to cause trouble.
after all,
Ron Artest is very submissive to me. "
