The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 106 Selecting a Broker

In fact, there are many powerful brokerage companies in the NBA, such as Weisman Media (WMG), which covers 20% of the entire NBA players.Premier sports management companies, NFL and NBA are their audiences.However, after some consultation and understanding, Kyle felt that it was almost the same. The reason why he fell in love with CAA more was purely that the company had greater influence and a good image, and it was also a brokerage company in both entertainment and sports fields.

But the current situation is that there is no ghost, let alone a big-name brokerage company like CAA, even if there is no skirmisher, isn't there a saying in the brokerage industry?Forbes superstar, miserable than washing dishes.But what's going on now?As a new star, no one cares about him, which makes Kyle feel very embarrassed.Finally, after discussing with Mattelly, I found out that it turned out that a statement was to be issued!
As soon as the wind came out, the gang of vampire bats came, and all the big and small brands came out one after another. The traffic jam on the way to school, and being met by chance when going shopping made Kyle experience the feeling of being praised by others, especially those unknown low-level errand agents. There are countless people.Falcao, the agent of the "God of Basketball" Michael in the player era, like Ian Tailem, who has an annual income of tens of millions, and Jeff Schwartz, the second-ranked NBA agent, is known as a "vampire". Dan Fagan and other big figures in the TV series extended an olive branch to Kyle, and they were very sincere when they called or met or negotiated.

There is a reason for this, because St. Joseph led by Kyle reached the top [-] of the Sweet Sixteen, coupled with his excellent data, and the halo protection of the super record, his current draft prediction has come to fifth place, Swaps positions with Villanueva.If the NBA team decides the pick after the lottery, that team just lacks a point guard, and it is unknown to reach the top three. Even if the number one pick is not impossible, although the probability is very small, because Bogut is too strong, the University of Utah will stop. In the top [-], I can't stand the Aussie's shocking data, and he is still a big man.

In the following week, Kyle accepted dinner invitations from dozens of agents.But he still can't make up his mind. First of all, a top agent like Ain's level, 4% of the salary, and 20% of the advertising endorsement fee, this is blood sucking!When Kyle thought that he would have to pay tens of millions of dollars in miscellaneous fees every year in the future, he felt very distressed, of course!This is the time for superstar performances.But is this a problem?Kyle didn't think it was a problem at all.

The mid-level agent makes Kyle even more painful. Some of them take 4% of their wages, some take 3%, and even 2%. But they still have to cut 20% for advertising endorsements, which makes Kyle unbearable. It doesn't matter if big-name brokers charge this fee, you dare to open your mouth if you are high or low.In fact, there was a misunderstanding between the two sides.The manager's understanding is that generally there are advertisement endorsements, basically all of them are star players, but it's just a piece of mosquito meat, which is better than nothing.Only superstar-level players can talk about advertising endorsements.Kyle!No matter how you look at it, it doesn't meet the conditions of a superstar, at most it is a star level.

But Kyle's thinking is just the opposite. In the near future, he feels that he will definitely be a superstar, and he will also be a big head in advertising endorsements. How can he give away his flesh to others!So Kyle felt that it was really inappropriate, and it was better to choose a big-name agent than to choose such a person, at least it was safe and safe.

Finally, there are those errand players who have no money, no power and no luck. Their lives are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface. There are about 450 registered NBA agents, and only more than 100 have player contracts. A group of people starved to death. The NBA stipulates that agents can only get 4% or less of a player's salary. Good agents get 4%, and those with a little ability get 3%. Usually it is 2%. But sometimes, in order to grab a rookie, Some people frantically drive to 1%.

If it is a low-level player in the league, with an annual salary of 35 US dollars and a 1% commission, then the player's agent only has [-] US dollars a year, and eating is a problem!If you can't find a player who can gain a foothold in the NBA for a long time, you can only die.This also reveals the cruelty of this industry, where many brokers are only subsisting.

Kyle received such an offer, and they didn't want to do the advertising endorsement, which scared Kyle into a cold sweat.Can a broker like this?Definitely not, there is no bottom line at all, and I don't even know when I sell him.These people are here for his rookie contract, they are definitely not good people.

Kyle weighed in for a long time, and finally he went to seek Matterly's opinion. Of course, the old man first recommended a big-name agent. The reason is very simple. If Kyle enters a team and is squeezed, these people are capable and can promote the transaction. Can also come to an advertising endorsement contract for Kyle La.

When Kyle thought about it, he would still be excluded?Afraid he won't be able to type out?Does he still need to trade to find room for development?Is this something to worry about?Maybe!But Kyle would never admit in his heart that he did not have this strength.In the end, he was still reluctant to be sucked too much blood by others, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​signing an agent.

As soon as he had this thought, he was interrupted because a half-acquaintance came, Alans!The other half was Sheila.This guy, Allens, has a relationship with Kyle. Kyle has known him since he came here from later generations, and it has been more than half a year.This started a reminiscing conversation.

"Uncle! You played that game that day!"

"Really? Thanks for the compliment."

"Can I continue to watch your games in the future?"

"Of course!"

"Every game!"

"Yes!" Kyle didn't know whether these words were taught by the seemingly honest and honest guy Allens, but it didn't matter!
"Kyle! How are you doing, how are you doing recently?" Allens launched an offensive.

"It's the same as usual."

"That's great! I heard that you decided to draft, have you found a suitable agent?"

"not yet."

"Then what do you think of me? Now I officially extend an invitation to you, and I will be your most loyal follower."

"Alans! I said, this is not a problem, I just want to know what you can bring me?"

"Money and authority, I can't do anything about it. The only thing I can do is to give you the best training and competition environment, and I will rule out all off-site accidents and miscellaneous things for you."

"Sounds good. Which team do you think I will go to?" Kyle formally tested this acquaintance.

"Can I answer truthfully?" Allens thought for a moment, then asked nonsense.

"Of course! You have to."

"I don't know!" Aarons said another nonsense, maybe he also felt that it was wrong, and added an explanation. "Because it's not up to us to decide."

Kyle's dark face was clueless, but he stared at Aarons across the way, showing that he didn't seem to be interested in Aarons' words.

"Kyle! Remember? You promised me." The little man next to him was talking too much.

"Sheila! Be polite, you should be called Uncle Kyle." Aarons was a little desperate, but he still reprimanded his daughter with a straight face.

"I hope we can work together happily." Kyle grinned, and said lightly while reaching out to touch Shira's little head.
