The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 246 Li Ze Clause Ruined the Thunder? (9300 word chapter)
The Asian Men's Basketball Championship in 2011 made Li Ze's popularity in China reach its peak. Fans discovered that the offense of the Chinese men's basketball team can be so smooth.

After Dayao retired, the appearance of Li Ze seemed to make the prospect of the men's basketball team brighter. There are Arab League inside and Li Ze outside. One inside and one outside, dual-core content, there is no problem in ruling Asia for the next 10 years!
Although the domestic media wanted to interview Li Ze, and various products offered considerable endorsement contracts, Li Ze's actions in the country were very low-key.

After the Asian Championships, I only accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV, and then I attended SH's Keds event in a low-key manner, and then flew directly to New York to officially bid farewell to the national team trip.

This kind of situation makes many fans unable to complain. Many people think that Li Ze should learn from other NBA stars' activities in heaven. It is so disappointing that he is so careless about making money!
After Li Ze’s interview was aired on September 9th on CCTV’s 30th Basketball Park, many fans were surprised again. Unlike other NBA stars, Li Ze did not exaggerate, but simply exposed the essence of the NBA.

The interview talked a lot, but what surprised the fans the most was Li Ze's understanding of NBA games:
"The essence of the NBA is to entertain the public. In America, facing the impact of the other three major sports leagues, if we want to get more fans, we are destined to sacrifice some competitive attributes."

"The league's star-making movement has never stopped, but I just played a relatively perfect performance at the right time. Compared with other seniors who are sincere in the development of basketball, the current achievements are simply insignificant."

Of course, what Li Ze said is the truth. After all, compared with those grassroots coaches who are deeply involved in the field of youth training in China, Li Ze’s contribution is scum. One is a real job, and the other is just a false name. sex.

After these remarks were broadcast, the domestic basketball circles unanimously praised Li Ze's attitude, but many fans who love NBA stars disliked it very much.

Giegie is so powerful and has such sportsmanship, Li Ze belittles NBA superstars, he belittles Giegie!

However, most fans think that what Li Ze said makes sense. Watching the NBA is just for fun. If you really want to win glory for the country, you have to go to the Olympics or the World Championships!

Li Ze was not interested in paying attention to the clashes between Chinese fans. After all, most of his scythes were aimed at America and Europe and the United States, and he didn't want to cut his own leeks.

At the end of September, Li Ze had already returned to Bozeman. The weather in Montana had turned cold. He visited his junior high school teacher in Bozeman and donated a small amount of money before heading home.

The Dutton family and the schools here have fixed donations every year. Montana State University has maintained a good relationship with the family for many years, which is also for the future.

After all, the family has a large population, so not everyone is a top student, and it is a good choice to have a diploma at the door of the house. In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon in Amelia.

Since America's general election will be next year, at this time, Joanna is also forced to open for business. As a local leader, she is frequently pulled by the Elephant Party to give speeches to canvass votes.
Although Li Ze has lived here for many years, he still can't adapt to the canvassing of speeches that are similar to talk shows. In Amelia, sometimes the competition is very unlimited, and it is not uncommon to pick each other's underpants.

At this moment, Roy was the only one at home. When he saw Li Ze get off the helicopter in a cowboy outfit, he immediately opened his hands and gave him a big hug.

"Our big star is finally home! How about we go fishing and barbecue in the afternoon, but it's a pity that Jamie and Beth are not here, otherwise we can have another group camping in the evening!"

"Is everyone in the family okay? I brought you some gifts from the Celestial Dynasty, you will definitely like it!"

The two returned home talking and laughing, and then Rip also came to hug Li Ze to greet him. At lunch, the three chatted while eating, and soon Li Ze heard a piece of news that surprised him.

"The gravel protection next door seems to really change the chief next year."

Hearing Roy's words, Li Ze immediately looked at Rip. Seeing the other party's solemn nod, he couldn't help asking curiously:

"I remember that at the beginning of 09, didn't the old chief plan to be re-elected? Why did he suddenly change his mind after only two years? This will definitely affect us!"

"It is said that the new chief has a lot of energy. He has successfully lobbied the relevant officials of the gravel protection area in the past two years. Anyway, it has basically been decided to take office next year."

"However, we will definitely complete the repair work on the border of the protected area by the end of the year! Don't worry about the other party deliberately looking for things, the cowboys are also ready!"

Li Ze pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but he was very vigilant in his heart. The barbed wire and stakes on the border alone could not stop a heart that wanted to make trouble.

Since he was a child, the two sides have been fighting bloody battles every year because of the trivial matter of cattle crossing the boundary. In this land, some struggles are still in a primitive state, and the vast land is sparsely populated, and everyone will pull out if they disagree. gun.
In the next week, Li Ze stayed in the Yellowstone Ranch in peace and stability. On October 10th, the players union stated again that the negotiations with the NBA still failed to reach an agreement, and the two sides still had huge differences.

As soon as this news came out, the NBA's lower-level players were completely blown away. At this point in time, the failure to reach an agreement meant that it was impossible for the regular season to start as scheduled at the end of October.

And judging from the current trend, the regular season in November is also a problem. Although most players are not good at mathematics, the agent has also calculated the accounts for the players. If the regular season in November is cancelled.

The salaries of the players will be reduced by about 15%. If no agreement can be reached by the end of the year, the salaries will be reduced by more than 20%. Now most of the players feel heartache, and the loss is all green dollars!
The players union has to appease the low-level players at this time, and the workers must be united. At this time, internal conflicts will arise, which will only be handled by the NBA and team owners.

At the same time, Li Ze received many text messages from his superficial brothers asking him what his plans were. Under such circumstances, Li Ze could only return to Los Angeles ahead of schedule.

Compared with Montana, Los Angeles in October is still very warm, with an average daytime temperature of around 10 degrees, and even at night, the lowest temperature is also 24 degrees.

Li Ze, dressed in black jeans and a gray hooded sweater, looks like an ordinary UCLA student, but the chattering Britney next to him is very eye-catching.

The blond sweet girl put on a pair of slim-fit jeans with a white off-the-shoulder top. Although the chest line is flat, the overall appearance can barely be regarded as a lordosis.
"I'm graduating this year! You must attend my graduation ceremony, this is what we agreed before!"

Feeling that Britney was about to enter chatter mode again, Li Ze quickly agreed, then put his arms around her waist, and said in a low voice:
"I'll talk about this topic after I get home. I don't want to be surrounded by people during class!"

The blond sweet girl who was in a good mood immediately kissed Li Ze, and then snuggled up to Li Ze's side obediently. The time between the two was rarely matched, so even if she accompanied Li Ze to class, Britney was also very happy.

After a day of campus life, Britney returned home and shouted happily again, threw her shirt on the sofa, and called Li Ze to take a bath together.
When it was time for dinner, the contented blond sweet girl became very well-behaved again, and ate dinner peacefully. Hearing the news of the NBA's continued lockout on TV, she couldn't help but said to Li Ze:
"Would it be great if you don't have to play next season, so you can stay in Los Angeles, haha, do you need me to help you find a job!"

Seeing that Britney looked full of energy again, Li Ze couldn't help teasing her:
"I don't know which girl promised me to be my assistant after graduation, but now I can't find anyone."

The blond sweet girl was not embarrassed either. Hearing Li Ze's words, she said openly:
"This is for the sake of our future. As long as Ivanka's sister can take over most of the assets, she won't have to worry about financial issues in the future. We have reached an agreement!"

When Li Ze heard this, he thought of Britney's cheap father, and felt a little strange. Knowing that Wang married a lot, and had several children, in this case, the distribution of property would naturally be different. Something went wrong.

But Li Ze doesn't want to puncture the dream of the blonde sweet girl. You can't tell her that your cheap daddy will really make his dream come true one day and become the leader of America. This matter is really outrageous at present.
"If I don't play basketball, I will concentrate on being a music producer. I don't make a living from basketball. It's too late to regret it. I'll save you a position in the New York office."

As soon as Li Ze's words fell, the blond sweet girl didn't know what to think, and instantly transformed into lemon essence, and gave Li Ze a hard look:
"Scumbag! I'm not going to work for your record company!"

"???"

Throughout October, Li Ze has been studying at ease, attending classes during the day and attending parties with Britney at night. After Anne returned from England in mid-October, under the leadership of the two girls, Li Ze's life became more and more joyful.

On the 31st, the players union issued another announcement, and the new labor agreement still failed to reach a consensus. Now all the players can't sit still.

Many players directly started overseas playing plans, and agents were also jumping up and down, trying to help players find new jobs.

At this time, most players have rested for more than half a year. In order to maintain the state of the game, many players choose to join the Drew League.

But Li Ze didn't have this trouble anymore. He played a lot of games this summer and was in good physical condition. At the beginning of November, he started the training camp plan as scheduled.

Chris Paul is very popular in the players union. Under the call of him and Li Ze, many players chose to join the training camp in order to maintain their state.

Turtle and Durant have already arrived in Los Angeles, and three old UCLA classmates, Kevin Love, Jrue Holiday and Darren Collison, will soon join them.

Harden, DeRozan, and Klay Thompson, three of Li Ze's high school classmates also joined in the fun, plus local Los Angeles superficial brothers Blake Griffin and Andrew Jordan. The first day of the training camp was very lively.

Under Paul's call, David West, Ariza, and Tyson Chandler also came to the training camp for the first time, and then almost the entire Clippers players came to train together.

The basic training in the morning, the competition in the afternoon, and the training camp can be regarded as fun, and it can attract many fans to watch every day.

Ah Lian came to Los Angeles on November 11. He rejected the Guangdong team's invitation and chose to return to America to maintain his form. The Chinese CBA on the other side of the ocean will officially start on November 10 in order to make way for the London Olympics.

On November 11th, NBA player representatives and the executive committee of the trade union jointly decided to reject the new proposal of the management, and the labor negotiations broke down again. Once such news was sent out, many players completely gave up hope and immediately chose to play overseas.

Wilson Chandler, Brooks, JR Smith, Patrick Mills and other NBA players have gone to China CBA to make money. For players like them, making money is the first goal!

At this time, everyone who was training in Los Angeles played the repertoire according to the usual practice, the heads-up game. Everyone has trained together for so many days, and everyone's strength is almost understood. Therefore, most of the games are rarely able to There is a surprise.

However, Li Ze and Durant are basically 8-[-]. Every time the two play heads-up, everyone bets enthusiastically. Durant is in good form today. After Li Ze missed a goal, he scored [-] goals in a row. It directly reversed the outcome.

"Oh!!"

The few people who bet on Durant suddenly screamed excitedly. Such scenes are actually very common these days.

Durant also clapped his hands excitedly, turned on the money-sprinkling mode again, and yelled directly:
"I'll pay for all the drinks tonight!"

"Nice job, Kevin!"

Li Ze shook his head amusedly. This year is the first year of Durant's big contract. He hasn't received the money yet. This guy has already started spending like crazy.

Chris Paul on the side handed Li Ze a bottle of BodyArmor sports drink, then smiled and said:

"I really envy your height. I wish I could be 10 centimeters taller. Unless I'm in a particularly good state, if I miss a shot, the game may be reversed!"

Li Ze drank the orange-flavored BodyArmor sports drink in one gulp, then looked at the empty bottle in his hand, and couldn't help smiling.

The niche brand drinks invested in that year are also officially launched on the market this year. Thanks to Li Ze's endorsement, the current sales are not bad.

"The game is not one-on-one. There are few point guards who can control the team's offensive rhythm better than you. Haven't the Hornets sold yet?"

When it comes to team matters, Chris Paul is also a little helpless, and he is considered an old and unlucky guy.

He planned to leave the team in the new season, but the league was suspended during the offseason. In addition, the Hornets are currently managed by the league, so his new contract seems to be out of date.

"We have to wait until the league officially announces the opening of the free market before we can negotiate player contracts, but it seems that it may have to wait for a while."

When everyone heard Paul's words, they were all talking about the current progress of the negotiations. Naturally, Paul would not hide it from the players, and once again said a piece of news that disappointed everyone:

"We'll have to wait until the end of the month at the earliest. Even if an agreement is reached, the start of the new season will have to wait until mid-December. However, the management is already willing to compromise. After all, if the suspension continues, it will definitely be a lose-lose result."

Klay Thompson, as a new player who just entered the league this year, was a little dazed when he encountered such a thing. He has spent a lot of money in the past few months. If he really can't play for a year, the situation will be very embarrassing.

While taking a break, Clay complained to Li Ze with a solemn expression:

"If there is no salary, life will be very difficult for me and Rocco, Kayce, you will have to help us when the time comes, Rocco is only three months old!"

Hearing this, Li Ze couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Ever since he bought that English bulldog, Clay has regarded this dog as his soul mate. He even buys the best dog food. The first thing he does when he gets home is to walk the dog.
Ah Lian on the side heard what Clay said, and said very sympathetically:

"Life is really not easy after having children. Players need to spend more energy to take care of their families!"

Li Ze couldn't help but slapped his forehead, interrupted Clay who was seriously complaining, and said very speechlessly:
"If you can't afford a dog, you can give it to me, and I guarantee it will have meat every day!"

"."

Ah Lian was speechless when he heard Li Ze's words. Fortunately, he thought Klay Thompson became a father, and foreigners would really know how to play.
The time soon came to the end of November. In the anticipation of many players, the players union once again started negotiations with the management.

On November 11, after 26 hours of negotiations, the two sides finally announced an agreement, ending the long lockout that lasted 15 days!

The NBA also officially announced that the free market and training camp will start at the same time on December 12, and the new season will officially kick off on December 9.

The low-level players in the NBA first cheered, and then all the players unanimously paid attention to the new labor agreement. The major sports media in Amerika revealed the differences between the old and new agreements.

Compared with the 05 version, the new labor agreement will last for 10 years, and both parties can jump out in 2017. If the contract is followed, until 2022, the league will not be shut down again.

The BRI (Basketball-Related Income), which is related to the wages of the players, has also undergone considerable changes. In the 05 version, players can get 57% of the BRI share.

而在新的劳资协议中，球员在11~12赛季拿到51.15%的BRI分成，在以后球员将拿到49%至51%的分成，拿出1%的分成作为福利池奖金。

The BRI is closely related to the wages of the players. The basis is a 50% share. If the BRI exceeds the expected 60.5% of the season, the player's share will increase; if it is lower than the expected value, the player's share will be reduced.

This agreement was actually a compromise between the players and the boss, and the boss still had the last laugh in the end!
At the same time, the contract tax, amnesty clause, income distribution, team minimum salary, luxury tax, luxury tax fund distribution, free agents and restricted free agents, etc. have all undergone considerable changes.

Compared with the 2011 version, the new labor agreement in 05 has changed a total of 18 details, but generally speaking, although the players have made some concessions and gained some benefits, the BRI share is the biggest compromise this time.

The hard salary cap proposed by president David Stern has also not been implemented, but the league has made a more severe penalty on the luxury tax.

In the 11-12 season and 12-13 season, the luxury tax rules are the same as the 05 version, but in the following seasons, every time the team exceeds the luxury tax trigger line by $500, they will be subject to different and more severe penalties!

每1美元分别对应1.50美刀、1.75美刀、2.50美刀和3.25美刀等等，如果在5年内4次超过奢侈税触发线，相应的处罚比利变为1比2.50、2.75、3.50、4.25
As soon as such a clause came out, the Lakers and several teams that frequently paid taxes were completely paralyzed. The Lakers had to pay almost $11 million in luxury taxes in 1900.

Calculated according to the following terms, this amount will become 4468 million U.S. dollars. If the luxury tax is paid 5 times within 4 years, their fine will be as high as 6458 million U.S. dollars!

The team with a big luxury tax is having a hard time. The owner of the Thunder, Bennett, also almost cursed at the meeting. You are all targeting me!

Due to the reduction in BRI's share, the players' union will naturally fight back!
NBA联盟确定了球队工资帽，算法是BRI的44.74%（05年是51%），顶薪工资帽是BRI的42.14%（05年是48.04%%）。

In the case of a decline in the sharing ratio, the players union proposed new contract terms.

05版拥有伯德条款的球员可以签下一份6年合约，增长率为10.5%；其他球员为5年，增长率为8%，起薪为工资帽的25%、30%或者35%，这部分要看球员的工龄。

In the 11th version, players with the Bird clause can sign a 5-year contract with a growth rate of 7.5%; other players can sign a 4-year contract with a growth rate of 4.5%, which seems to be reduced a lot, but then the players union proposed additional terms .

Excellent players can ask the team for a maximum salary after the rookie contract ends, which is 30% of the maximum salary cap!

Of course, players must meet the following conditions: two or more selected first team, second team or third team in the league; twice selected to the All-Star starting lineup; once won 1 MVP (Most Valuable Player) award.

If one of the three conditions is met, the player can get a super contract with a maximum salary of 5% of the salary cap in the fifth year!
When Fisher, the chairman of the players union, and the representatives put forward such a new contract request, everyone in the conference room looked at the Thunder owner, Bennett!
As the representative of the team owner, Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, has already agreed to this clause in his heart, and the owners of other teams have not raised any objections. Only Bennett, who is cursing in his heart, put forward different opinions:

"30% is too much, maybe we can refer to the ratio of the old version of the clause, this situation is too risky for the team!"

The representative of the players union just smiled slightly and gave an example that made people unable to refute:

"I don't think any of the teams here will refuse to offer a maximum salary contract to Kayce, a young MVP, and for the team, being able to use a player like Kayce for 4 years at a very low price is already a huge profit!"

"Greed should be kept in moderation! Players who are worth playing will naturally be matched with a maximum salary contract. In addition to honors, big contracts are the motivation for most players to work hard. We think such terms are very reasonable."

Is the youngest MVP and FMVP in history worth a supermax salary?

The answer is yes, after all, for the team owner, encountering such a player is an eye-opener. Everyone is eager to lock the contract directly until the player retires.
But for Bennett of the Thunder, if the new contract takes effect, he will face three super-maximum salaries.
Bennett certainly knows that Kevin Durant has signed a five-year 5 million super contract. If the new labor agreement takes effect, Durant's contract amount will also increase accordingly. 8500 player who can enjoy a new contract!
At the same time, Presti also told him that the team has also reached a maximum salary contract with Russell Westbrook, and the preliminary intention contracts of both parties have been signed. will increase.

After all, Turtle was selected to the best team last season, and also entered the All-Star team. After the Thunder won the championship, there is almost no suspense for Turtle to enter the All-Star team this year. The big contract is a certainty.
Considering that this year happens to be a contract year for Li Ze, the team will also offer a maximum salary. In this way, three contracts with 30% of the maximum salary cap will directly make the team's salary explode!

The Thunder have the bird rights of three players, of course they can renew their contracts and easily retain three superstars, but the price is an extremely high luxury tax!

The contracts of the three are almost full of 90% of the salary cap. It is simply a pipe dream to let other players get 10% without paying the luxury tax.
The owners of each team began to gloat in their hearts. They had achieved the greatest victory and reduced the proportion of BRI. It is understandable to make some concessions.

If the Thunder really disintegrate because of the new terms, it would be a great thing for other teams as well. Li Ze's contract is so tempting!
If the young MVP is dug up, he can also enjoy a one-year child labor contract, which is a guaranteed profit for a rich team that is determined to compete for the championship.

Thunder boss Bennett's rebuttal had no effect. The new contract was successfully written into the latest labor agreement. In this meeting, both parties made compromises and finally reached an agreement.

On the evening of the 26th, Cuban, the owner representative of the team, and Fisher, the chairman of the players union, both accepted exclusive interviews from the sports media. In order to promote the new labor agreement, they drew colorful cakes for the players. Both sides unanimously used Li Ze as an example.

"Although we have made concessions on the share of the BRI, the new labor agreement has further strengthened the protection of the players."

"And for a player as good as Kayce, we have also reached a new contract clause. The players union will always protect the interests of the players!"

Fisher and the representatives of the players' union highlighted the new contract terms in the TNT interview, 30% of the maximum salary cap.

In an exclusive interview with ESPN on behalf of Cuban, the team owner also praised the new contract and drew a cake for the players.
"Of course we and the players union are one. Only cooperation can win-win. For an outstanding player like Kayce, the team will definitely give a super contract generously. Excellent players deserve more salary!"

"I am very happy to see players like Kayce in the Dallas Mavericks in the future. I believe that Dallas fans also like Kayce. No one will refuse the youngest MVP in history!"

Cuban was so excited that he almost recruited Li Ze directly on the show, and the Thunder team was about to disintegrate. This is really great news for the Mavericks.

That very evening, America's media reporters began referring to the latest clause as the Kayce Clause.

The NBA officials did not give up this opportunity to hype, the two sides negotiated again, and obtained Li Ze's approval, and officially changed the new contract to Kayce Clause.

After the news reached the Celestial Dynasty, the domestic basketball media began to report it, it's awesome!The clauses came out, and when most fans were praising Li Ze, only Thunder fans raised questions:

"Will Thunder Thunder's three young masters disintegrate because of this clause?"

On the morning of November 11th, Thunder general manager Presti and team owner Bennett sat in the office and looked at each other. Neither of them spoke. In the end, Bennett said in a low voice:
"Maybe we can communicate with the players. In order to win the championship, everyone chooses 25% of the starting salary, so that we have the opportunity to become a dynasty team. This will be an unparalleled glory!"

Seeing the boss Bennett talking more and more excited, Presti was speechless. He chose a starting salary of 25% and a growth rate of 7.5%. When the players do charity.
What's more, the players agreed, but the agent didn't agree either!That's a real dollar knife, is it really a cabbage for a million dollar knife?
After the boss Bennett drew the colorful pancake, he found that Presti was silent at all, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Presti sighed in his heart and asked:
"Why don't we consider paying some luxury taxes? The salary cap for the new season is $5804.4 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is $7030.7 million."

"For the next two seasons, the league will continue to use the previous luxury tax rules. For the time being, we don't have to worry about the additional restrictions on teams paying the luxury tax."

Boss Bennett did not answer Pressley's question directly, but revealed another news:
"Sam, in this meeting, there are also new regulations for the distribution of income. About twice the funds in the 05 agreement will be used as income sharing funds. The income of small teams will increase greatly. The details are not yet available. finalized."

"Although the funds obtained by the teams that have not paid the luxury tax generally will not exceed 50% of the total luxury tax payment, this is also a good income for us. You know the situation of the team, and I need Responsible to 17 shareholders."

Presti doesn't want to talk anymore, he wants to win the championship, and he also wants to get subsistence allowances, which sounds outrageous.

He no longer wants to discuss the contract with the boss. In his opinion, the Thunder team that won the championship last season deserves more salary from the team.

And the Thunder have already enjoyed the dividends brought by Li Ze's child labor contract. When players end their rookie contracts, it is also something they should do to give them a maximum salary.

Even if the Thunder don't pay, in the fourth year of the contract, after Li Ze becomes a restricted free agent, other teams in the league will not hesitate to give him a maximum salary.

It would be a bit disgusting for the Thunder to continue matching at that time
"Sam, your next task is very difficult. We must try to communicate with the players. We have a chance to become a dynastic team!"

Bennett's colorful pie once again left Presti speechless. Fortunately, the free market will start on December 12th. During this time, he must think carefully about the future of the team.

On December 12, Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant all returned to Oklahoma City. Although Li Ze already had some bad premonitions, Guigui and Durant were very optimistic.

"Cool! Now our contract can be at least $1000 million more than the original contract! I like the new terms!"

After Durant came to Li Ze's house, he started to circle around excitedly, while Guigui also smiled, took out juice from the refrigerator, poured a big glass for each of them, and started to ton with the bottle.

"When I receive the money next year, I must change to a bigger house, Bro, this time you should also change to a better car, super contract, we should enjoy life!"

Hearing Guigui's words, Li Ze didn't want to disappoint the two of them, so he also smiled and said:

"Next year we will go to buy a car together, maybe we can get a discount, the new terms, for us, it is indeed a big profit!"

Durant took the cup, drank the juice, and then said excitedly again:
"I can't wait to get the ring at home. I have a championship and a big contract. This is really great!"

Seeing the two people who were still thinking about the future, Li Ze thought silently in his heart:
'Hope the Thunder make the right choice'

On December 12th, Durant's agent, Kleiman, and Turtle's agent, Ted, appeared in Presti's office at the same time.

Such a scene immediately gave Presti a headache. After so many days of thinking, he still hasn't figured out how to keep the trio and not pay the luxury tax.

"It seems that I need to avoid it for a while, first come, first served, Kleiman, good luck!"

Turtle's manager, Ted, was very gentlemanly and asked the two to talk first, then gracefully pushed him out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

"I think we all know about Kevin's contract, Sam, I don't want to make your job difficult, but I want to be the first to declare that my players will not accept a salary cut!"

"The new terms have come into effect. Kevin's contract should be changed. We deserve 30% of the starting salary. As for the extra 5%, I hope you can cooperate with me to go to the league to reflect. This part of the money, perhaps It doesn't need to be borne by the team."

Before he had time to draw a big cake, Kleiman went straight to the topic. Seeing the other party sitting on the chair with a confident look, Presti smiled and said:
"Kevin certainly deserves a max salary, but the Thunder also have difficulties. We have the opportunity to achieve a great achievement, a dynasty team. It will be a great honor. Maybe we can ask Kevin first."

Drawing cakes is obviously useless, manager Kleiman interrupted directly:

"I have communicated with Kevin a long time ago. The players are only responsible for playing, and I am responsible for fighting for the benefits that Kevin should have. Is this a very simple matter? Even the 5% extra salary is still borne by the Union."

"I don't want to know the team's plan, Sam, that's your job, I'm just an ordinary agent, so don't make it hard for me?"

Presti was completely paralyzed at this time. Of course, he knew that what Kleiman said was very reasonable. It is true that the extra 5% should not be borne by Thunderway, but the salary cap is limited, and things are starting to develop in the worst direction.

Seeing the manager Kleiman who was still complaining in front of him, and thinking of Turtle's manager Ted who was still waiting outside the door, Presti couldn't help but have two big heads, and he couldn't help but think:

"Kayce's manager will also be here by now. The trio is really about to disintegrate!"

　Thank you for your subscription support~
　　Of course the terms are all true, and the butterfly effect brought by the protagonist makes Guigui also get the maximum salary,

　　In this way, the Thunder are destined to face a huge luxury tax.

　　Of course, in the case of owning the bird rights, there is definitely no problem in renewing the contract, but the team's income is definitely gone-. -
