Chapter 486 Headquarter Summit

It's different from Greenville, and it's different from Orlando.

Dallas has been so lively these days. The fans' voices for Li Shengli have reached their peak, because it is only two seasons. In the finals, even though they were beaten badly by the Bulls, the growth rate of the whole team is still a bit amazing.

Therefore, not only the fans are boiling, but the arrival of Li Shengli's agent Turner also created a new storm after the big screen of the league, because everyone knows... After Li Shengli, O'Neal is bound to have news, Sha Sheng The whereabouts of the duo will be known in the past few days, so the focus of the entire league is on Dallas, and the teams have also used all their contacts to search for news here.

As for... Li Shengli did not attend the scene in person, and Mavericks general manager Toby did not go to Li Shengli's lair. This news is not a secret. The taste comes.

What does calf management mean?

You must know that the yellow and green families are the most aggressive in chasing the center Shark right now. The two giants are really not short of money, and they can also choose where to go.

In the pursuit of Li Shengli, including the Mavericks, the parent team, it is actually a three-way game, but O'Neal has no parent team option, which means that he will definitely go to one of the Lakers and Kais.

This situation means... as long as O'Neal decides first, Li Shengli will have one less option, and the Mavericks will also have one less competitor, which is conducive to the advancement of this negotiation, so Toby, as the general manager, has not been delayed until now. Declaring a position, to a large extent, is waiting, waiting for O'Neill to make the first move.

As for why Li Shengli is not afraid of confirming his intention with Hu and Kai first?

Toby is still sure that Li Shengli is aggrieved in this finals, and he is not willing to leave the Mavericks for the time being, because compared with Hu and Kai, the current lineup of the Mavericks still has a great advantage. Bulls just once.

The only thing that is certain is...the Mavericks want to keep Li Shengli, but the contract does not want to be too high, and in the final analysis, the saved contract money can be converted into extra income for the team.

……

Turner arrived in Dallas that day, and found Toby non-stop, but Toby really delayed the time. He insisted on delaying the first meeting until the afternoon of the next day, but the result of the meeting was not ideal. Na immediately sent the news back to his lair.

"Lee, tell me, has O'Neal contacted the Lakers?" Turner's call went straight to the point.

"Why, Toby mentioned this?"

"No, but I feel that he is still waiting for news from O'Neal. Seriously, if O'Neal is settled, we will be very passive. By the way, guess how Toby reported your new contract?"

"You mean... very low?" Li Shengli had a bad feeling in his heart. If Toby opened a contract like the Magic, it basically meant that there was nothing to talk about.

"It's far below our expectations. The total amount of the seven-year contract is 7 million. Although it is only the initial price, I guess the reserve price is not much higher." Turner's anger can be felt across the phone, and Li Shengli Also froze for a moment.

7 years 7800? !

To be honest, this contract is not too low in terms of the entire league. After all, the Mavericks cannot be compared with local tyrants, but if you compare it horizontally...not to mention the undecided O'Neal, nor Mourning and Juwan Howard It is also a 7-year contract of over [-] million yuan, that is, Robinson and Olajuwon are ahead of him.

As for the remaining one of the super centers, Ewing, because he is in a rich team like the Knicks, it is not easy to compare, but last year, the annual salary of 1872 led the league, almost twice that of No.2.

In general, there is not much room for the Mavericks to float upwards for the first offer of this contract.

Even if the 8000 mark is broken, Li Shengli cannot be satisfied, because no matter from any point of view, he has no problem with bidding Mourning's contract. Even if he is willing to make concessions on this amount, he cannot let it go too much ah.

Mourning's 7-year 1 million 1 contract is equivalent to an annual salary of 1570+.

Even if Li Shengli makes concessions, it should be equivalent to an annual salary of 1400. The total contract value of the 7-year long contract should be close to 7800 million, not 2000. There is a difference of more than [-] million.

A piece of eighty hair can also be wiped with a zero!

But more than 2000 million US dollars is a completely different concept.

……

"This contract is too small, let's continue the negotiation, earn a little more, I don't think too much."

"It's not as simple as you think now. If you want to get to the bottom..." Turner probably thought for a while, and then said immediately, "Lee, let's meet with the Lakers and Celtics right now. Let's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar arranged for West and the others from the Lakers, and Thompson went to the Celtics, we must make a move, otherwise Toby thought you depended on the Mavericks."

Lay on the Mavericks?

I just wanted to stay in the Mavericks, otherwise I let you talk about it?

Li Shengli frowned... Crotty and Curry are old teammates, and Kidd and Garnett have grown up. It is naturally the best to stay, and the best way now is to give Thomas Biga turned on the fire and forced the final offer, so Turner's idea was correct.

……

Now, the news from the Mavericks has come back. After Li Shengli, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Thompson informed, the base camp immediately began to act to help Turner, who was negotiating in Dallas, while the base camp let go and waited. Opportunity of the Lakers, Celtics two teams immediately set off for Greenville.

Meeting two giants at the same time?

The idea of ​​the base camp is to add some pressure to the Mavericks. The main purpose is to leverage the two giants, open the mouth of the Mavericks management, and increase the contract amount.

However, the two families of Hu and Kai are not blind to the situation. Although there is not much news from Dallas, they can guess that the negotiations must be at a stalemate. The reason must be that the money has not been negotiated. He chose to set off in a low-key manner, wanting to hit a powerful blow before Mavericks let go...convincing people with 'virtue'.

So, people came to the base camp the next day, obviously they all rushed the plane overnight after receiving the news.

For the Lakers, general manager Jerry West brought Magic Johnson in place, while for the Celtics, new general manager Chris Wallace, plus team chairman Arnold Auerbach, more coincidentally The two parties arrived and met face to face.

……

"Damn, why did this old guy come here?" The magician was a little surprised. The former Cardinal Auerbach was indeed an old guy, but this person was a local emperor in the Celtics, and his power was exaggerated. Manager Chris Wallace is a bit weak.

"How do I know, shit, does it matter that he ends up in person?" West also cursed, not because he was afraid of Auerbach, but because of Auerbach's unlimited voice in the Celtics. Because he, West, had to discuss many things with Old Bath, but Auerbach was the old emperor of the Celtics.

"Then what should we do now? If this old guy goes crazy, we'll be in vain today." The magician's expression changed, "Damn it, do you want to temporarily raise the contract amount?"

"Withdraw the amount? How else can I raise it? 7 million in seven years has been capped. This is the boss's decision."

"Then there's no other way? O'Neill seems to be here too. Damn, we must catch one today!"

"Yes, let's take a look first. If nothing can be done...we choose O'Neill, and he will definitely not refuse."

"Okay, then it's settled."

……

West and the magician muttered a few words, and after Chris saw it, he also lowered his voice and spoke to Auerbach on the side.

"West and Johnson didn't even say hello, it looks like they're planning to wrestle with us?" Chris stared at the two of the Lakers.

"It's okay, there will always be something to gain this time, the Mavericks are already out!"

"Is there any news from Dallas?"

"There is no need for news. The ending has already been decided from the moment I stepped here. It just so happens that O'Neill is here, so there will definitely be something in our fishing net."
