Chapter 539 Negotiation with Marlon Payton! !

In the case of Kobe Bryant's Eagle County and Webber's black gold case, the NBA fell into a huge vortex, and the Lakers and Kings were the first to bear the brunt!

However, in such a chaotic environment, except for the above two teams that are difficult to perform in the free agent market, the rest of the teams gradually resumed their jobs.

"Sorry, Jerry, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you!" Bruce looked apologetically at West, who was exuding depression and loneliness all over his body, but felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart. I'm afraid this is friendship!
"Since Kobe's matter has been confirmed by Colorado, there is no need for us to do anything!!" West took a deep breath, his face regained its usual brilliance, and smiled with difficulty: "Ha ha, We should focus on strengthening the team!"

"You..." Bruce looked at West, who recovered a bit of energy in just an instant, and couldn't help admiring the old man's endurance!

"It's nothing. If I'm still immersed in this matter, then I might as well submit my resignation letter to you now!" West sighed secretly, pulled himself together, and quickly changed the subject: "About Gary and Regarding Karl’s matter, I think you should go over and talk to them in person, if it’s not that my spirit is still difficult to deal with, I won’t let it go!”

"Okay, you should have a good rest!!" Finally, Bruce said with some concern, then turned his head and walked out of his office!
In a villa on the west coast of Oakland, Gary Payton walked back and forth excitedly in the living room of the villa, thinking that Bruce was about to come to discuss matters with him in person, even though he had revealed before that he was willing to consider the Warriors, Lakers and The Mavericks are waiting for the wishes of the team, but after all, what he wants to join the most is the Warriors who just won the championship. After all, this is his hometown!
"Ding dong! Ding dong!!"

As the door of the villa rang a bell, Peyton, who had not been so excited for many years, hurried over in three steps at a time!

"Crack~~~"

As soon as he opened the door, when Peyton saw the figure outside the door, the excitement in his eyes suddenly became rich: "Wow, brother, you are here so soon!!"

"Hey, I can't wait to join the Warriors!!" Karl Malone threw the backpack in his hand at Payton, laughed and pushed the door open and walked in!

"God, can't you be gentler?" Peyton reluctantly took Malone's backpack, closed the door, put the backpack on the reception shelf next to him, and walked slowly towards Malone !
"flutter!!"

After coming to the living room, Malone put himself directly on Payton's newly purchased leather sofa: "Hey, Gary, why don't you pour your brother a glass of wine?"

"Damn it, I should have left that damn Filipino servant here!!"

In order to better negotiate with Bruce and also want to express his sincerity, after thinking about it, Payton directly gave the previous Filipino maid in the villa a one-day vacation!

However, now that he saw Ma Long ordering him around like an old man, he had no choice but to pour a glass of wine with a depressed face, and then handed it to the smiling Ma Long!

"Man, shouldn't you be excited?" Malone drank the wine in the glass playfully, put the glass on the table, and said expectantly: "Tell me, what kind of wine will Bruce provide us?" What about the contract??"

"Hehe, at least you have no chance of getting a big contract!!" Peyton said pretending to gloat, and then even when Ma Long pretended to be beaten, his expression changed, and he said very seriously: "Carl , are you really willing to give up the tens of millions of annual salary that Utah offers you??"

"Hehe, why not??" A final struggle flashed in Malone's eyes, and then he seemed to have discarded all his troubles and emotions, and said very freely and firmly: "I am 40 years old. It is the envy and desire of everyone, but a championship ring will be the only thing I need now!"

Seeing Ma Long's solemn appearance, Payton deeply felt the tough guy's persistence and desire for the championship.

"So???" Peyton asked with a smile as his eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.

"So I will accept any conditions offered by Bruce. Even if I only play 10 minutes per game, this is something I am very willing to do. After all, they have the strength to win the championship!!" Malone said very simply My own wishes, from here we can see that this is still able to average 20+ super giants per game!
"Yeah, if we can satisfy our desire here, I will not refuse at all!" Peyton's eyes flashed with desire, and he poured a glass of wine for the two of them. They looked at each other and drank the wine in one gulp. A clean sheet!

"ha..."

Satisfied, the two let out a mouthful of alcohol, and seeing the brilliance in each other's eyes, they both couldn't help laughing out loud!

Afterwards, amidst the excited discussion between the two, Bruce finally came to the outskirts of the villa area where Peyton was located!
"Taylor, I may stay here all day, you go back first, and wait for my call anytime!"

Before getting out of the car, Bruce patted the driver's shoulder with a smile. After the other party nodded, he opened the door and walked out!
"boom!"

After a soft closing sound, the driver Taylor slowly opened the car window, looked at his young boss, and said with a smile: "Boss, I wish you good luck!"

"Haha, yes, our luck has always been good!"

Finally, after talking to the driver, Bruce admired the surrounding scenery and walked slowly towards the location halfway up the mountain!

In Peyton's villa, he and Ma Long gradually reached an agreement, and the two drank most of a whole bottle of spirits without knowing it!

"Hey, I hope Bruce won't let us down!" Malone drank the wine in his hand in one go, and leaned on the sofa in all directions!

"Ding dong! Ding dong!!"

The ringing of a bell startled the two of them in an instant. They quickly stood up from the sofa, first glanced at each other, and after seeing the excitement in each other's eyes, they arranged their clothes indiscriminately, and went straight to Walk towards the door!
"Well, the scenery here is really good!"

Standing at the gate outside Peyton's villa, Bruce looked at the surrounding green grass and luxurious and chic layout, and couldn't help but secretly nodded to Peyton's taste in his heart.

"Click!!"

As the door slowly opened, Bruce saw Malone standing with Payton, still wearing his iconic denim outfit!

"Whoa, look who this is???"

After Payton saw Bruce, he walked over with his arms wide open with excitement on his face, and even though Malone beside him was as excited as Payton in his heart, he still just looked carefully and did not meet him. !

"Haha, Gary, it's so exciting to see you in my hometown!!" Bruce hugged him, patted him on the back, and then nodded to Peyton , walked towards Ma Long behind him with a smile on his face!
"Dude, I'm so glad to see you!!" Bruce looked at Malone with a smile, stretched out his right hand, and looked friendly at one of the best super giants in the league!

"Haha, I like your simplicity!!"

Malone laughed and opened Bruce's right hand, and then gave him a legendary bear hug!
"Oh, God, your strength is simply too great!!" Bruce exclaimed jokingly, then looked at the two of them and walked into the villa with a big laugh!
A perfect meeting will definitely bring great bonus points to the subsequent negotiations. From Bruce's performance at the beginning, he can already see the progress afterwards!

After entering the villa, Payton poured a glass of wine for each of the three with a smile: "Man, congratulations on winning this year's championship!!"

Saying that, both Peyton and Ma Long raised their wine glasses with smiles on their faces. The meaning of congratulations is self-evident!

"Haha, why not??" Bruce clinked glasses with the two of them pretending to be bold, and after a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, he drank the whole glass of spirits "quickly" like them !
"Damn it, why do I have to be so brave!!"

Putting down the wine glass, even though Bruce's expression still looked very refreshing, but thinking about the two previous drunks and the terrible hangover the next day, this really made him a little nervous!

"OK!!"

Seeing Bruce drink the strong vodka that is comparable to Chinese baijiu so boldly, the two of Peyton felt refreshed for a while!
"Brother, let's make a long story short, what kind of contract and treatment will you provide us!"

Malone, who couldn't hide the matter in his heart, was unambiguous after Peyton filled the wine again, and asked Bruce neatly!
"Hehe, I think Chris (Mullin) must have had a wonderful dinner with you!"

When talking about work, Bruce's attitude suddenly changed. He would not be the first to express his attitude. This can be regarded as a way of negotiation!
"Yeah, it's really surprising that Chris was able to go over and enjoy a very good dinner with us in person!" Peyton said with a smile, turned his head and glanced at the silent Malone, and said very simply : "To be the owner of a team, no one is an idiot, so..."

"So, we really don't like this kind of detour, why don't we let us get into the topic now?" Ma Long passed Peyton's words directly, and he, who was originally leaning on the sofa, suddenly sat upright body, closely watching Bruce, whose expression was still very indifferent!

"Aha, this guy's aura is really surprising!"

Bruce noticed Malone's movements, and with the addition of this tough guy's strong body, he really felt a bit of pressure!

"Hehe, as the owner of a team, I have to think about my team, so..."
