Chapter 114 114. Gasol Renews Contract

On the first day of the new year, the Lakers have a happy event.

Adrian-Wojnarowski, nicknamed woj, a Yahoo reporter who quickly became popular last year, was the first to report that the Lakers and Gasol had reached a five-year contract extension with a starting salary of 780 million and a total of 5 million in five years, which is the average A 4500-year contract of 900 million a year.

And the last year of the contract has a player option!And it contains the first four years of transaction rejection clauses!

As mentioned above, Gasol wants to go to a strong team, and it is estimated that he will have to cut his salary significantly. In Liu Ren's memory, the contract signed by Gasol and the Bulls is 1500 million for two years. The extension conditions given by the Lakers are really very generous. !
Trade refusal clause, commonly known as overlord clause or non-tradable clause, generally signed such a clause, there is no possibility of leaving the team during the basic contract period!
Well, there was also an accident. Garnett and Pierce accepted the deal disheartened under Angie's begging and were sold to the Nets.

this is an accident.

Gasol and Kupchak each took a step back when negotiating the contract. Kupchak accepted the deal rejection clause and included a one-year player option. Gasol also gave in and gave the final year player option Excluded from deal rejection clauses.If he doesn't want to play in the last year and wants to choose to retire, the Lakers can still trade him as an expiring contract.

Gasol's salary reached 1170 million in the last year, which is very attractive to teams that want to clear up salary space. After all, every year in the future will be a big year in the free market.

Giving a 34-year-old veteran a five-year long-term contract, the outside world praised the Lakers and Gasol's contract extension more than criticizing it, and once again took the Angie incident as a target and kept stepping on it.

"They are all top giants, why is there such a big gap?" This is the evaluation of this transaction by a friend from the Northeast, which is straightforward and rude.

"This contract extension is beneficial to both parties. The Lakers have maintained the stability of their lineup. Gasol's experience is also indispensable for the young lineup of the Lakers. Although the age is a little longer, the salary is not high..." This It's a comment from a sensible type of fan.

"This is obviously a double loss, okay? The Lakers signed a 34-year contract with a 5-year-old veteran, and it will definitely be bad in their hands. Gasol took so much less money. If he comes to my big rocket, Morey will definitely Willing to give him a contract of more than 1500 million..." This friend is a Rockets fan.

The Rockets have been drooling over Gasol for many years, and they were even willing to help the Lakers pay for Paul, but they only wanted Gasol.

For this signing, most of the fans still commented positively. The Lakers gave a meritorious player a long-term contract with a deal rejection clause. This is already Kobe, Duncan, and Nowitzki-level treatment.

Look at Duncan's new contract, which is only 2000 million for two years. In a way, it is not as generous as Gasol's contract.

……

"Zach, you are so stupid! You didn't ask Liu for his phone number! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Joanna really wanted to knock open the stupid boy's head to see what was inside.

LaVine is like a child who has done something wrong: "I'm sorry Joanna, I was so excited at the time, why don't we enter the arena first!"

"No! I must wait until Liu comes. He promised you that we will take a photo together. By the way, he will ask Kobe to take a photo with us!" Joanna said firmly.

"But can we wait here until he comes?" LaVine asked weakly, the two of them were at the entrance of the parking lot.

Although the players have their own parking lot at the Staples Center, the entrances are all here.

"Of course, I know Liu very well. Look here, I have a photo of his new car! This was taken by the paparazzi when he picked up the car from the dealership. ZXX9527, what a handsome license plate number, although I don't know this The meaning of the license plate number." Joanna said proudly, this is a "precious" photo he bought for fifty dollars on a paid forum.

"That's cool! One day I will become an NBA player, and I will become even better than Liu, and I want to buy such a car!" LaVine envied, although he didn't know what the license plate number meant, However, this kind of license plate is not a California standard license plate number at first glance, but a number that has been modified at a large price.

"Come on, no one is better than Liu, and he will be greater than Kobe in the future!" Jordana retorted immediately.

Liu Ren must have never imagined that Joanna, whom he and Chen Hanni used as the programming object, was his die-hard fan.

"No! I will be better than everyone! One day I will be the greatest player of the Lakers!"

Lavin's rare excitement startled Joanna.

Joanna thought: "I didn't expect Zac to have such a manly side! I thought he was just a funny big boy, so handsome!"

Joanna snorted twice and said, "Then I'll take a good look at you to see if you're bragging!"

"Of course! I will make my promise come true! I... Hey, Joanna, do you think that is Liu's Ferrari?" Lavin wanted to emphasize his vow, when he suddenly saw a black Ferrari driving Come here, it is the car in the photo just now.

"Really! It's Liu Ren's car! Liu... Liu..." Joanna immediately forgot about poor Lavin's handsome appearance, and ran towards the car, calling Liu Ren's last name loudly.

Poor Lavin could only run over to help Liu Ren stop.

……

ZXX9527, the number that Liu Ren suddenly thought of when he was choosing the license plate number a few days ago. People who have watched many Stephen Chow movies can definitely understand the meaning of this license plate number, but Americans must not understand it.

Tonight is the game between the Lakers and the Bucks at home. It is not a focus battle. It can even be said that there is nothing to pay attention to. One is the top four in the West and the other is the second-to-last in the East. There is not even a broadcast.

Los Angeles fans are not very interested in this game. When the Lakers sell tickets, the pre-game warm-up tickets are included with the positive tickets. There are not many fans around the Staples Center to watch in advance.

But when he drove the car to the entrance of the parking lot, two crazy fans rushed towards his car so frightened that he braked quickly.

"Fuck! Don't die!"

Liu Ren opened the car window, uh, his Lusso is not a soft top, but a hard top, the safety is much enhanced, not afraid of bricks falling from the sky, but it is a bit slow when folding the roof, and it has to be closed after a while, which is too troublesome .

The hard-top convertible looks very coordinated after the roof is closed, unlike the soft-top, it can be seen that the roof and the body are inconsistent at a glance.

"Hug hug... sorry, Liu, it's me, I'm Zach, do you remember me?"

Hearing the stuttering voice, Liu Ren immediately remembered that it was Lavin, who seemed to be a little out of his mind...
