Chapter 287 Contract Renewal Carter
The three of Bruce quietly waited for Carter's final decision, looking forward to which contract he would choose!

If Carter chooses the former, it will be a very happy thing for Bruce, even if he doesn't think it is such a difficult thing to pay the luxury tax, but who is willing to throw out more money?

After a while, after Steinberg read the document carefully, he handed it over to Carter, who was already a little anxious beside him, looked at the three of Bruce and said, "Mr. Bruce, to be honest, the last contract was indeed very exciting. , but obviously the one I just read is what we should be discussing!"

From the other party's words, Bruce heard the opinions reached between Carter and Steinberg, and the two have obviously reached an agreement on whether to renew the contract!
"Phew!" After reading the contract, Carter let out a sigh of relief. This contract was very tempting for him.

With his current competitive state and rapid upward trend, this contract is obviously the most suitable!

No matter in terms of fame, team record or money, this contract has great flexibility, unlike the previous one, which can only become a restricted free agent in the fifth year!
Seeing Carter's expression, Bruce already had an answer, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
Bruce still admires Carter very much, no matter whether his previous life is gradually giving people the feeling of a glass man due to injuries, but he still thinks Carter is one of the most exciting players in this league!

Now, since the other party already has an initial idea, he can only make a good plan for future choices and the operation of the team!

"Lenny, Chris, I think why don't you guys have a drink with me?" Bruce turned his head and said with a smile, then nodded to Carter who was looking at him gratefully, and walked to the small reception room!

Like Bruce, Wilkens and Mullin nodded to them with a smile, and then walked out!

Sitting in front of the small bar, Bruce watched Mullin slowly close the door of the small reception room, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"Sorry, Bruce!" Wilkens said apologetically, taking the glass from Bruce.

"It's nothing, everyone has the right to pursue dreams and better interests, and it's not your fault!" Bruce smiled and said indifferently.

That is to say, but once Carter makes such a decision, it will bring great pressure to the current era where the team's salary is still more than 3000 million, plus the salary cap hovers around 4 to 5000 million US dollars!

If the contracts of Billups and Wallace were not settled before, I am afraid that the Warriors will become one of the league's largest luxury tax payers!

Especially seeing the two gradually reveal their previous life's competitiveness and strength, Bruce is even more grateful for the choice he made at that time!

"Since the matter has come to this point, we have to take some appropriate countermeasures!" Obviously, Mullin is very clear and understands Carter's final choice. If it were him, he would also choose the second flexibility and get more Multi-benefit contract!
"We still have one more season to operate. If Miracle Entertainment makes amazing profits this year, all of this will not be a problem!" Bruce said confidently, especially in "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" It was released this year, which gave him even more confidence!
Wilkens and Mullin understood what Bruce meant, just as they had always admired Bruce's generosity and gentleness, they agreed with his words very much!
As an owner, no matter how rich he is, after all, running a team is one of the tools for loving basketball and gaining benefits.

Once, like Jerry Buss, he sells all his properties and devotes his whole body and mind to the team, other bosses will never do such self-destructive things.

However, Bruce can still remember his slightly innocent wish back then.

"If we were in a real metropolis in the United States, I would do whatever it takes to improve the team's competitiveness. Even though the team's performance is improving year by year, it still seems a bit insufficient compared to the big money of the Lakers!" Bruce said with emotion.

As I said before, if these two movies sweep the world like in the previous life, the little Warriors will not be a problem at all, and Bruce will not hesitate to fight for some super giants to join, not like this time.

After a while, the three of them whispered about this year's draft, and Steinberg walked out with a smile on his face!

"Gentlemen, Vince is very excited to continue working with the Warriors!"

Hearing each other's words, the three of them suddenly looked different, then stood up one by one, and walked to the small reception room expectantly!
Carter's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Bruce and the others who entered one by one, his expression still looked a little immature.

"Alas!" Seeing Carter's expression, Bruce sighed secretly, feeling very emotional that Carter, who is still a little immature, if he had become a superstar in his previous life, he would definitely use a confident expression to gain greater benefits instead of With a slightly apologetic look!

"Vince, what is your decision?" Bruce sat opposite Carter with a smile, and the rest of them also sat down!

"Uh...Mr. Bruce, it's a great honor to continue working with you!" Carter handed over the second contract with some awkwardness, and said in a slightly formulaic way!
"Of course, the cooperation between us should be a wonderful journey!" Bruce accepted the contract with a smile, and signed his name on it without even looking at it!

As Bruce pushed the contract to himself, Carter finally showed an excited expression on his face, took the signing pen from Steinberg, and signed his name in a swish!
When Mullin took out the prepared camera to take pictures, the contract between the Warriors and Carter was officially concluded!

"I wish us a happy cooperation!!" Picking up the champagne that had been prepared on the table, Bruce filled everyone involved with wine and said with a smile.

“Happy cooperation!!”

The next day, when the three of Bruce, Carter, and Steinberg appeared in the media room of the Warriors one after another, everyone was looking forward to the signing of this contract!

According to the regulations of the league, the details of the contract will not be released in advance for the rookie of the current team to renew the contract. Everything can only be made public when the free agent market really opens.

The media present here obviously didn't want to wait that long. As soon as the press officer announced the start of the press conference, some of them immediately stood up and asked.

"Mr. Bruce, can you tell me about this contract?"

Bruce looked at the reporter with a smile, turned his head to look at Carter who was still excited, and said slowly: "This contract is a 3+4 contract, and I will not respond to the others!!"

Hearing Bruce's answer, everyone showed a slightly surprised expression.

According to Carter's market situation, there must be no shortage of a maximum salary contract. Now that this contract is signed, which is somewhat similar to the one signed by Tim Duncan, it gives everyone unlimited reverie.

According to the contract signed between Duncan and the Spurs last season, Carter will perform this contract in the 02-03 season until the 04-05 season, he will get the terms of ending this contract early, and renew another contract or Continue to perform the current contract, this is the only difference between signing a contract with Duncan.

According to Duncan's signing period and salary, he signed a three-year salary of 3260 million US dollars. At first glance, it feels very good. The Spurs can get a three-year respite. After playing games that excite everyone in three years, if he follows the league's year-by-year maximum salary contract, he will get a super maximum salary that everyone envies, envies, and hates!
After the press conference was over, Bruce sat in the office with a somewhat tangled expression!
After negotiating with Steinberg, the value of the contract signed with Carter reached an astonishing 3400 million U.S. dollars. With some incentive clauses, the contract reached a horrifying 3600 million U.S. dollars.

Compared to Duncan's bonus of only about 3500 million yuan, Steinberg is really an excellent and even astonishing agent!
According to the previous contract with a total value of 8800 million US dollars, it is obvious that with the current accumulation, it will definitely reach an astonishing level!
In the current era when each team only has one or two stars with more than 1100 million US dollars, Carter's contract can be called extremely luxurious.

"This place really deserves to be a combination of business and profit!!" Bruce rubbed his cheeks vigorously, thinking of the terms of the team he joined before, his face showed a trace of relief!
"Bang bang bang!~"

Mullin knocked lightly on the door, pushed it open and walked in. The helplessness on his face caused Bruce to suddenly have a dumbfounding expression!
"Bruce, why did you come up with such an astonishing contract!" Mullin sat at his desk depressed and asked incomprehension!
"Vince is the backbone of the Warriors, he must stay here, he does not belong to other teams at the moment!" Bruce said firmly, without hesitation for a moment.

"but.."

"Chris, as a former superstar of the Warriors, you should be very aware of the role of a superstar for the team!" Bruce interrupted Mullin helplessly, and then continued: "For us, the most important The only thing to do is to keep Vince and Dirk, now that Vince has stayed on the team, things for Dirk will be much easier!"

"Okay!" Mullin shrugged his shoulders more and more depressed, and then he smiled a little when he thought of the clause imposed before: "If I didn't add that clause, I will definitely not agree with you to renew the contract at such an outrageous price. A rookie with superstar talent!"

"Is he just okay?" Bruce said like a child.

"Well, if there is no option for the team to terminate the contract early, I don't care if he can become a real superstar!" Mullin obviously didn't want to keep entangled in this topic, then thought for a while, and said: "De Dirk's problems are basically not as serious as Vince's, as long as we offer him a contract that matches his worth, Dirk will be very happy to stay!"

"Dirk??" Bruce's face finally showed a touch of warmth. Anyway, Nowitzki and him are both foreigners. If they can fight side by side all the time, it will be a very exciting thing. matter!
