super small forward

597 Chapter 597. How about I sign you

"Hey, boss, you are too stingy! We had red wine last time, why did it change to fruit juice this time!" Thompson was very dissatisfied, "When you come to Auckland, we will take you to the most famous Nightclubs take turns to play, and you don’t bring women to the hotel and you have to order a few drinks. What’s your name? By the way, you have the same tracheitis as Kobe, so let’s not talk about it. Mary is a good woman, as it should be , but you asked us to play video games at home? Let’s not talk about playing video games, this time we don’t even have alcohol!”

Liu Ren rolled his eyes: "No money."

"Just kidding! Let's not talk about the income of your agency. Durant and Kobe are both players of your company, and you have your own brand, so you will have no money! You are stingy!" Thompson looked contemptuous look.

Being despised, but Liu Ren has nothing to say!Although the company that acquired Pelinka did not announce the specific details of the transaction, it will certainly not spend too much money, because Pelinka is anxious to sell the brokerage company and then acquire the shares of the Lakers Jim Buss to become the Lakers management , When the boss of a brokerage company and the small boss of the Lakers team can make a choice without thinking.

Only the league knows about Liu Ren's acquisition of Lakers shares, and they will not deliberately announce it. There is no league rule that players are not allowed to hold shares in NBA teams. In addition, Liu Ren also used other companies to cover up this matter. Naturally There is no need to publish.

So in Thompson's view, Liu Ren is now in the stage of making a lot of money, the kind who makes a lot of money...

Liu Ren has entertained Curry at least twice every year for the past two years. If the Warriors are going to play against the Lakers or Clippers in the playoffs, there will be one time. Today is the time for Liu Ren to entertain Curry. Of course, there are That slightly awkward Thompson.

As for Xiao Niu's acquisition of Pelinka's company, Liu Ren really didn't expect it, not to mention the acquisition of Jim Buss's Lakers shares. It was completely unexpected and became the small owner of the Lakers by accident. !Although it nominally belongs to H&L Brokerage Media Company, but Liu Ren owns more than 80.00% of the company's shares, and the remaining ten percent of the shares belong to Xiao Niu. Basically, it can be said that the Lakers have 7% of the shares. It's his, besides the five Bass brothers and sisters, there is also the investment master, he is the seventh largest shareholder of the Lakers!
However, because of this, Liu Ren's money has also become tight. Except for the company's necessary working capital, other stocks and deposits are all gone. He probably sold some of the domestic real estate out of kindness. Some of them are still used to transform into rental houses, which are rented cheaply to migrant workers and white-collar workers.

In other words, the chick probably won't give Liu Ren pocket money for several years in the future, and he can only live on that little salary.

Fortunately, a bigger contract will be signed at the end of this season. Although the first month of this year is not over, according to the assessment of a professional financial analysis company, there is no big problem for the NBA salary cap to exceed 9000 million next season. Liu Ren is confident that he will win a super big contract, and it is estimated that it will not be smaller than Anthony Davis's 5-year 1.4 million contract.

Every time Liu Ren thinks about it, it hurts. If he wants to renew his contract early at the end of last season, he will definitely get a contract extension that reaches 30.00% of the salary cap. The Lakers may even give up Liu Ren's cheap last year 600 With a salary of 7000 yuan, he directly signs the maximum salary, but the current salary cap is 2100 million yuan, and the maximum salary is only 2400 million yuan, which is far from the contract he can get next year with a minimum starting salary of [-] million yuan predicted by professional financial companies. .

However, since the four-year rookie period has passed, Liu Ren has only played in the NBA for five years after this season, that is, he has not met the terms set by the veterans, and cannot sign a new contract with a starting salary that reaches 5% of the salary cap. During the rookie period in 30.00, the Rose Clause could not be used, and he could only get a new contract with 20.00% of the five-start salary. This is the most painful part...

"Klay, can't you see it? Boss, it's because we took the number one spot in the league. It's not like you don't know how stingy he is!" Curry also swelled up...

"Soon you won't be number one in the league! Tomorrow we will regain the number one in the league! It was just luck that you didn't meet us before." Liu Ren said angrily.

"Okay...we'll wait." Curry began to be arrogant.

Although Thompson was dissatisfied that today's drink turned into fruit juice, but he got used to Liu Ren's stinginess, just like getting used to the name of three-point shooting...

But even so, Thompson is still more interested in Liu Ren inviting them to his training hall than Liu Ren inviting them out to play. From the outside world, this means that Liu Ren regards him as a player at the same level as Curry. Except for the Lakers players who are willing to invite to play at home, they are all superstars.

Liu Ren doesn't know how this statement came out. Although he really only hired superstars, it's not that he has to do this, but that the role players of other teams have no chance to get in touch with them. It made Thompson feel proud of Liu Ren's invitation while not being angry with Liu Ren.

Thompson was really bored after playing for a while. He really didn’t know how Curry became friends with Liu Ren, a boring guy. He could play a video game with enthusiasm. He still chose to practice shooting. Anyway, Liu Ren’s family trained The gym has everything like the team.

Seeing Thompson leave, Curry hesitated, and said, "Boss, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Liu Ren felt that Curry had been acting strangely today, except for the matter about the number one in the league, he was silent the rest of the time.

Curry hesitated again and said: "Under Armor wants to renew my contract. I rejected their 5-year 7000 million contract before."

"5 million in 7000 years? Are they going to send you a beggar? You are the hottest point guard right now. If it's less than 2000 million, are they willing to ask?" Liu Ren thinks that Under Armour's head is watts!
"That's right, so I declined, but two days ago they gave me another five-year, 5 million contract."

"That's great!"

"I still declined."

"..."

"I'm upset! Very upset! Why is it a short contract again! Do you really think that I just broke out by accident? I'm very upset! And I have to increase my price after we have a good record? But my agent keeps persuading me to continue." He is for the signing fee! Don't pretend that I don't know how much Under Armor paid him!"

Curry's face is really not suitable for anger, it looks like an angry child.

But, Liu Ren understands Curry's thoughts very well. In fact, it's not the fault of Under Armour, after all, it's not the two giants, Adidas and Nike.

Although Curry and his Warriors rose as strongly as in Liu Ren's world, because of Liu Ren's appearance, the Warriors did not win the championship, and Curry did not win the MVP. Although their popularity continued to skyrocket, they were still not as good as Liu Ren. Ren's time and space, so Under Armor doesn't make that much money, so he will inevitably hesitate to use Curry's investment.

And this hesitation made Curry upset. Curry has always been confident that he is no worse than anyone else. Although he has a good relationship with Liu Ren, he still wants to beat Liu Ren.

As for agents who often try their best to get players to sign with a certain company or a certain team, no one will believe it if there is no trick. The reason why players on a short-term contract would rather pay hundreds of thousands of liquidated damages is to go to James’ agency. The same is true for choosing Liu Ren’s agency, because James and Liu Ren’s agency are players at the core. Of course, making money is very important, but it will be more important. Consider player development, and the possibility of... teaming up.

And most brokers are how to make money.

Liu Ren suddenly had an idea: "Stephen, let me ask you."

"what?"

"When does your contract with Under Armor expire?"

"At the end of August."

"Or, I'll sign you..."

"..."

……

……

"Welcome everyone to watch the Lakers vs. Warriors game brought to you by TNT Sports Television. I'm your old friend Kenny. Let me introduce the two sides..."

Kenny Smith was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I said Shaq, who do you think can win the Lakers or the Warriors?"

Kenny Smith endured, and continued: "I'll give you..."

Being interrupted again, O'Neill shook his clothes and said, "Charles, from today onwards, you will call me the Great Mentor!"

Kenny Smith expressed that he was not angry, and continued: "Let me introduce to you..."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted again, and Buckley said with a look of disdain: "Mentor? What kind of endorsement did you accept from China? By the way, I went to China for a big meal last time. It was delicious. I heard that they Your chef graduated from a culinary academy called New Oriental, have you changed your career to become a chef?"

After Barkley finished speaking, both he and O'Neal looked at Kenny Smith, apparently interrupting Kenny Smith was intentional.

"I..." Kenny Smith despaired, "You guys should say it."

O'Neal tidied up his clothes again: "My mentor is a basketball mentor!"

"Hahahaha... I laughed so hard, Shaq, are you still a basketball coach? You teach others how to grow fat and hit the basket?" Barkley laughed.

"Damn! Go ask the boss! Is what I taught him really good!" O'Neill retorted immediately.

"Hey, yo, can you still teach the boss? Can you teach him free throws? Could it be that you taught the boss such a bad free throw? My God! The fans will paint your house!" Barkley yelled strangely.

"..." O'Neill was choked speechless for a moment.

Kenny Smith had a sad expression on his face, why did he partner with these two bastards...

……

In the Doubi commentary combination Doubi, the game between the Lakers and the Warriors has already begun.

Whiteside narrowly won the jump ball with Randall. Not to mention, Randall's explosive power is amazing. The height difference of nearly ten centimeters almost won the jump ball from Whiteside's head.

Fortunately, Whiteside had already seen Randall's explosive jumping power in the preseason. This time, he focused on jumping the ball and was not stolen by the opponent.

However, the Warriors returned to defense very quickly, and the Lakers' fast one-blood play was basically useless against top teams.

The Lakers took the lead and Antetokounmpo advanced with the ball.

Today's Lakers starting lineup is Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside.

LaVine, Biyombo, and Nance Jr. were rested, but Black was included in the active list. D'Antoni seems to value Black more for Biyombo and Black. Biyombo's offensive awareness is really bad, and his physical fitness is not as good as Blake's, and he is not as good as Black. offensive awareness.

In D'Antoni's opinion, Biyombo is actually a very good player, with excellent defense and vitality, but without offensive awareness, he cannot integrate into the Lakers' system. D'Antoni can only choose to give up.

The starting lineup for the Warriors is the five dead, Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Randall, Jason Thompson.
