Chapter 733 New Contract One
Several buses were hired for the championship parade. After being dressed up, all the players walked around the city of Oakland on the pre-planned streets on the roof of the bus, and then went to the city square to receive the Warriors in the open air. Team-assigned season recognition.

Every player will have a commendation, thanking every player for their dedication over the past year.

And stars like Yang Di and Ray Allen are the focus of attention of the audience, and the camera has never moved away from their faces.

Like Baron Davis, also accepted the commendation.

Baron Davis was injured and lay down for a season, and finally won the championship with the Warriors. Although this result was not what he wanted, he still showed excitement on the surface.

Baron Davis also spoke on stage, "Thanks to my teammates for their hard work. I may be the easiest player in history to win a championship."

Everyone laughed.

Byron continued: "We have experienced a lot this season, we have also experienced injuries, and we have experienced ups and downs, but we finally persisted to the end. We defeated many powerful enemies and won the fifth championship in team history. I am proud of my teammates, Yang Di, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler... We cooperate with each other and encourage each other. I believe we will win more championships in the future and move towards the dynasty team. Go ahead."

Byron's implication is that he will come back next season, which can be icing on the cake. The Warriors will return to the strongest lineup and strive to complete the goal of three consecutive championships.

Off the court, Yang Di, Ray Allen and others applauded and chuckled. The commendation meeting of the parade was a bit like an exchange meeting. Everyone spoke on stage, interacted with teammates, and also interacted with the fans on the scene.

After the championship parade, Yang Di walked into the general manager's office with Bill Duffy and Chris Mullin.

"The specific contract renewal will not be officially carried out until the transfer market opens on July 7, but generally this kind of early contract renewal is also possible if we sign it first." Chris Mullin said with a smile. However, if it takes effect, it will take effect on July 1.”

"There will be a draft on June 6. There will be a lot of deals at the draft." Yang Di said with a smile.

"Yes, so these are actually oral agreements, but oral agreements are also a form of contract," Bill Duffy explained.

"Come on." Mullin pulled out the contract that had been prepared in the office. "According to your request, this contract is a two-year contract, and the contract amount is $2 million for two years."

"Yang Di, you are very good. Players have always asked to sign long-term contracts. I didn't expect you to turn around and ask for short-term contracts."

"According to the league's regulations, veterans who have reached 7 years can increase their salary at an annual rate of 30%, while players who have less than 7 years can only increase their maximum salary by 25%. This is what LeBron reminded me. Yes, he and Dwyane and Chris Bosh are all veterans on 10-year, seven-year contracts."

"The 10-year transfer market will definitely become very lively." Bill Duffy has foreseen the grand occasion three years later.

"Not all of them are signed for 10 years. Like Carmelo Anthony, he signed a 5-year or 4-year contract. At least he can become a free agent in 2011, which is different from our rhythm."

"Will there be any action in our draft meeting, Chris." Yang Di suddenly asked about the draft meeting, and he wanted to know the next development of the Warriors uniform team.

Chris Mullin spread his hands, "Who knows? The NBA is a business, but one of the most basic principles we maintain is to try to keep our current championship lineup. Except for the players who leave the team normally, we need to add , and the rest of the players who are playing in their prime should remain unchanged as much as possible."

"Is there a request for a transaction now?"

"A lot, but we will consider it carefully. In the draft, we don't have any good draft picks this year." Chris Mullin said.

Yang Di nodded. He didn't want to be too involved in the management of the team. He picked up a pen and signed a new contract. The contract took effect from the 08-09 season and lasted until the end of the summer of 10.

……

The news of Yang Di's contract renewal with the Warriors was exposed by some well-known journalists within two days.

We all know that Yang Di will definitely renew his contract with the Warriors, but I didn't expect that Yang Di would only renew his contract for 2 years. Some fans immediately said that Yang Di was insatiable.

Yang Di just said that this is the best way to renew the contract after his team researches.

The Warriors officially expressed their willingness to renew the short-term contract with Yang Di. For Yang Di, the past two years are also a kind of spur and incentive, and there is no such thing as regressing after taking a big contract.

Before the draft, Yang Di received Nike's regional manager at his home.

After negotiating, a 3-year contract was signed, which also expires in 10 years. The details of the contract are not much different from the exclusive sneaker-level contract signed now. He is already a top-level sneaker contract. The amount On the other hand, there has been a substantial increase.

"$3 million over 5400 years."

Not rounded, it is about 7 million dollars lower than the average long-term contract in the previous 200 years, but it is still the top sneaker contract sponsorship fee in the NBA. James signed a 7-year 9300 million dollar contract with Nike in his rookie year. On average, it is more than 1300 million a year. Yang Di is now worth more, and the contract price is naturally much higher than James.

The sneaker contract is finalized, and the endorsements of some major brands such as Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Gatorade, and Oreo are about to expire this summer. Yang Di continuously interviews the heads of these endorsement negotiations, and even goes to New York in a hurry There is no time to participate in the draft.

These endorsement contracts are not as big as sneakers, but they have also made a qualitative leap. From the original 50 to 80 US dollars a year, they have risen to the current 200 million to 300 million US dollars a year. After all, Yang Di will start next year. The various brand endorsement fees of the company cost nearly 3500 million U.S. dollars, and these incomes far exceed the income brought by wages.

The salary also has to pay state taxes, federal taxes, broker commissions, alliance escrow funds, etc., and only 1700 million US dollars were paid out of 1020 million US dollars, and almost 40% of the money was handed over.

The United States has an athlete tax specifically for the four major leagues. It has been collected more than ten years ago, and athletes are full of complaints about it.

When the salary was low before, Yang Di didn't feel it. Now that the salary is high, it really hurts to pay, but the income is still far higher than the money he earned when he first came to the United States. The astronomical figure is true. The wish he dreamed of wanting to come true.
