NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 209: Parting on bad terms

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Xue Liancheng realized something was wrong.

How can we leave his agent alone when talking about contract renewal?

After he signed the contract with Zhuang Yan, he immediately informed the team management.

The management did not talk to Zhuang Yan, but directly approached him. This was obviously against the rules.

Generally speaking, he only needs to express his willingness to renew the contract and leave the rest to Zhuang Yan.

But the current situation is completely different, he has a feeling of being carried on a sedan chair.

Randy Fender laughed, "Xue, I am very pleased to hear you say that, you have not let us down, nor have you let this city down, let us join hands to create brilliance in the next few years. "

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be confused.

He just expressed his willingness to renew the contract. You didn't even show the contract, or didn't mention the terms of the renewal, and just tied him to Miami?

This……

Isn’t it too unreliable?

At this moment, he felt like being PUA.

At the same time, Dwyane Wade, the patriarch who was PUA, suddenly appeared in his mind.

How miserable is Wade?

First of all, he has played for the Miami Heat for so many years and won three championship rings. As the first player in the team's history, he has never received a maximum salary.

The second is that in order to keep James this season, Wade took the initiative to cut his salary and only received a salary of 1500 million US dollars.

You must know that Riley gave Bosh, another giant, a five-year maximum salary.

It's so heartbreaking to be treated so obviously differently.

This is not over. According to the historical trajectory, after the end of this season, Wade jumped out of the contract and wanted to seek a long-term contract.

As a result, after a long negotiation, we only got a one-year contract, and the contract amount was only 2000 million.

At this time, the superstars and the core of the team are not the ones with the highest salary!

In the summer of 2016, Wade once again proposed a three-year long-term contract, but the Heat still chose to reject it and only gave him a two-year contract worth 3 million.

what is this?

Wade is the first person in the history of the Heat, a team spirit who is willing to cut his salary in order for the team to win the championship!

At the end of his career, not only did he not give him a decent big contract, he even refused to give him a three-year contract to retain the soul of the team.

What's more, at this time, Wade is averaging 19 points, 4.6 assists and 4 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage is 45%. There is still gas in the tank, and he has led the team to the playoffs. He wants this long-term contract. I want to live in Miami forever and truly complete one person, one city.

result.

He was pressed to the floor by the hot fire, rubbed mercilessly, and his dignity was shattered to pieces.

最让人无法接受的是，莱利给场均8.7分的泰勒-约翰逊开出了4年5000万的合同，给场均14.2分11.8篮板的大白边怀特塞德开出4年9800万的顶薪合同。

This time, Wade was finally annoyed.

Choose to leave Chicago and sign a 2-year 4700 million contract.

Then a year later, he was bought out by Chicago and kicked out.

At this time, Wade is actually very marketable. After all, during the year he played for the Chicago Bulls, he still averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. The residual power of the superstar is still there...

But Wade thought about it and finally chose to join his good brother James at an ultra-low salary. He thought it was a reunion of the brothers and create another glorious drama. As a result, he quickly dropped from averaging 18 points per game to 11 points per game, and was demoted to The substitute, the last remaining power of the superstar, was also gone.

After a few games, Wade was disheartened.

Back to Miami in a hurry.

After ending the contract, Riley finally made an insulting offer, a veteran's base salary of $1 million for one year.

Wade became an idiot directly and retired on the spot...

The former superstar was displaced at the end of his career and suffered repeated insults. How could it be a miserable word.

From beginning to end, Riley was testing Wade's bottom line and squeezing him again and again.

After being squeezed by Riley, and then squeezed by a good brother...

Being pushed back and forth by the two men, his position was finally destroyed.

Listening to Randy Fender's words now, it seems that he has no intention of offering a maximum salary with both hands.

At this moment, he was in a trance.

isn't it?

Are the Heat trying to squeeze Wade again after squeezing him?

Thinking of this, he was not calm. "It is obvious to all that you are building the team, which is very eye-catching. I am also very eager to become a part of Miami, but I still want to hear the team's offer for me."

He signed a two-year contract, 1+1 model, and the second year is a team option.

In this case, the team will definitely execute his second-year contract.

And this season has come to the sprint stage. Renewing the contract in advance can indeed stabilize people's hearts and kill uncontrollable factors at the same time.

But you can’t not tell him even the most basic offer, right?

If it was a maximum salary, Randy Fender would have told him openly.

Being so secretive now actually illustrates the problem.

Randy Fender still looked cheerful, "I am very happy to hear your recognition of our work. Xue, please rest assured that we will not treat you badly."

Xue Liancheng stopped smiling and his face turned slightly cold.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to Randy Fender, but instead focused on Pat Riley.

Mudd!

I'm telling you about the crotch shaft, but you're telling me about the city gate and building.

What else is there to say?

He knew that the person who made the final decision still had to depend on the old rascal, and now he just wanted to see what Riley had to say.

Randy Fender was a little embarrassed.

Under Xue Liancheng's scrutiny, Riley finally took a stand, but still the same way, asking, "Xue, what is your ideal salary?"

Xue Liancheng's face looked even worse.

Speaking of this, his guess has basically been verified.

The team has no intention of renewing his contract with the maximum salary.

I'm crazy...

For a moment, he wondered if Riley and Randy Fender were crazy?

He has just scored 60+, breaking Chamberlain's 55-year record, and his average per game has reached 22+10+5. He is already on the way to hit the MVP. Infinitely close to number one in the league.

This is his first season!

The future prospects are almost predictable.

Everyone should know that they have to pay the maximum salary to retain him.

After all, the maximum salary is not just a matter of money, but also a respect that matches his top-notch worth and status in the league.

Now the Heat are not even willing to give him a maximum salary, which makes him wonder what Riley and Randy Fender want to do?

Have you tasted the sweetness in Wade, learned the taste from the marrow, and want to copy it in him?

If this is the case……

Then he will be disappointed.

He's not Wade, and he won't let it be manipulated...

Seeing Xue Liancheng's silence, Riley didn't seem to realize the problem at all, and still said cheerfully, "It doesn't matter, just talk about it, everything is negotiable..."

Xue Liancheng also twitched his lips and asked with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter how much salary I want. I think what matters is what kind of contract the team plans to provide me?"

Riley and Randy Fender look at each other.

In the end, Randy Fender said, "Since the topic has already been discussed, there is no need to hide it. 5 million in 6000 years. To show sincerity, the contract can be implemented from next season. In this case, Your starting salary next season will start at tens of millions.”

Xue Liancheng was stunned and blurted out and repeated, "5 million in five years?"

He had thought that Riley would be dark.

But he didn't expect that Riley could be so dark.

Riley could offer a five-year, $5 million contract, and Randy Fender could also offer it.

It's simply unbelievable...

Why did you tell him that this is sincerity?

Really shameless.

According to the historical trajectory, that is, this summer, Davis, the thick-eyebrow brother, will renew his contract in advance. The Pelicans will offer a super maximum salary of US$5 million for five years.

This is called sincerity.

This is respect.

Is his performance, his statistics, and his impact on the court worse than Davis?

What the hell...

5 years and 6000 million US dollars, isn’t this Chi Guoguo’s insult to him?

Do not……

It should be a huge insult...

I really didn't regard him as a human being at all.

What's even more hateful is that Randy Fender actually has the nerve to say that the new contract will be implemented next season to show sincerity.

On the surface, this is indeed the case. His salary next season will be less than two million. If the team has an option next season, it will choose not to execute the contract.

So according to the new contract, the starting salary is indeed tens of millions.

It seemed like it was really for his sake.

But everyone knows that after Rose won the regular season MVP in 11, a new clause was created, called the Rose Clause.

It stipulates: Only players who have been elected MVP during the rookie contract, or have been selected as a starter in the All-Star Game twice in the All-Star voting, or have been selected to the annual All-NBA Team (regardless of which team) twice. Only then can you be eligible to trigger the "Ross Clause" and get a big contract.

His rookie contract was only for two years.

If he can't win the MVP this year, then if the new contract is implemented next season, he will not be eligible to enjoy the Rose clause, and he will not be able to get the real maximum salary.

wrong……

In other words, he may not get the full amount of 5 million in five years.

Really well-intentioned...

The little abacus jingled.

Not only black...

It also smells really bad...

Is this how Riley treats team leaders?

He really couldn't believe that he would be treated like this.

Beat him to death, he wouldn't even think of it...

It really shattered his three views.

He thought Riley Black Wade was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that there was something even more outrageous.

How can you come up with such a quotation?

Randy Fender was still smiling, "Xue, I believe that under your leadership, the team will remain competitive and charge for the championship."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

He was really shocked.

He had never seen such a brazen person.

It was an eye-opener.

After insulting him, praise him for his ability to endure insults.

It's so disgusting...

Extremely disgusting...

Xue Liancheng's eyes had gradually turned cold.

Regardless of whether this was a tentative offer, leaving room for bargaining, Randy Fender felt it was an insult to him to offer such a price.

He couldn't accept someone insulting him like that.

It is even more impossible to forgive the person who insulted him.

ponder for a moment.

After the anger raging in his chest calmed down a little, he calmly said, "Well, I will seriously consider it."

The scene suddenly cooled down.

Riley didn't notice anything, and still smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the season is not over yet, we have a lot of time to discuss, take your time..."

Have a chicken...

You can get it for 5 in 6000 years. If you still want to renew the contract, let’s have your big dream...

Xue Liancheng had already cursed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Yes, I will let my agent contact you."

Next.

Several people talked about the next situation of this season, who is more threatening in the playoffs, and other issues.

then.

Xue Liancheng ate in a hurry.

I didn't have the intention to stay longer, so I said goodbye and left.

Mud...

Why is he still here when Randy Fender, a loser, insults him like this?

only……

Just walked out the door.

Another voice came from behind, calling him, "Xue, wait."

Xue Liancheng didn't need to look back, he knew who was coming.

It was his old mentor Spoelstra.

Tell the truth.

He once thought that Si Bo was standing with him and that the two of them had the friendship of being both a teacher and a friend.

Only now did he suddenly realize that this was not the case at all.

Spoelstra is on the side of Riley and Randy Fender, or more accurately, Spoelstra is on the team's side.

And when he has a conflict of interest with the team, the two of them are on opposite sides.

When we were talking about contract renewal just now, Spoelstra didn't say a word, but he obviously knew Riley's extension offer for him in advance.

this time.

He felt inexplicably chilled...

Wade is treated like this, maybe Spoelstra is part of it...

Turning around, he forced a smile and said, "Sir, what can I do?"

Si Bo stood there, silent for a moment, staring at Xue Liancheng with complicated eyes, and then said, "I'll take you back."

Xue Liancheng was about to refuse.

But Spoelstra didn't give him a chance, "By the way, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Xue Liancheng opened his mouth and nodded with difficulty, "Okay."

He really didn't want Spoelstra involved.

Because since entering the league, Spoelstra has cultivated him, which is absolutely undeniable.

He could turn on anyone, whether it was Randy Fender or old gangster Riley.

But facing his old mentor, he still had to keep a small amount of face.

If Si Bo came in, if there was a breakup, the friendship between master and disciple might be broken, which he didn't want to see.

But look now.

He couldn't stop it.

Got in the car.

Both were silent.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere became turbid.

I don't know how long it took.

Spoelstra finally spoke, "I know you will feel uncomfortable when you hear this offer, but this is just an initial offer and everything can be negotiated and discussed, so... you don't have to take it to heart."

Xue Liancheng opened his mouth, but found that no words came out.

They think from different positions and see different things.

5 million in 6000 years, what he saw was the team's disrespect for him.

To put it bluntly, he just didn't treat him as a human being.

Spoelstra, on the other hand, started from the team's standpoint and only felt that this was an initial offer.

Negotiating a contract is just haggling, no big deal.

and so.

The two have different positions, and anything they say is redundant.

Spoelstra continued: "This summer, Marc Gasol will be a completely free agent, Dwyane will also jump out of his contract, Marcus Morris and Batum's contracts have also expired, and the salary faced by the team It’s very stressful.”

Xue Liancheng wanted to say something, it's none of my business!

You want to win the championship, but you are not willing to pay the luxury tax, so you just focus on squeezing the value of the players, and you will miss all the good things in the world.

I really don’t have any shame...

of course.

There are also players who are willing to make sacrifices for the championship and the team.

This is understandable.

He doesn't judge right or wrong, or what, everyone has their own choice and the meaning of doing this.

But that person is definitely not him.

Facing his old mentor, he did not say these words.

But that's what he thought.

You can pick and search, but don't pick me.

Anyway, in his opinion, he deserves the maximum salary, he deserves the maximum salary.

He didn't want to say anything else.

Spoelstra was still talking: "If we want to remain competitive, we must keep them all, so that we have the hope of hitting the championship, what do you think?"

Xue Liancheng's heart went cold.

The old mentor considered everything except his feelings.

It's really disappointing.

After exhaling heavily, he finally spoke, "Sir, your coaching ability is very high. I think you should focus more on guiding us. As for the management, let them figure it out on their own."

When Spoelstra heard this, he frowned, "This is my team and your team. I think we all need to take responsibility."

Xue Liancheng was speechless again.

Talking about responsibility without talking about dedication is just a hooliganism.

Are they going to save team owners money?

Then why didn't the team owner think of giving them correspondingly valuable remuneration?

It doesn't make sense...

Spoelstra's thinking is more old-school, and he said it more straightforwardly this time, "You are the leader of the team. Making some small sacrifices is actually harmless. Xue, please believe that we can go further and create an era that belongs to us."

A small sacrifice?

According to the historical trajectory, what did Wade look like when he was down and out, and even made a small sacrifice?

Bloody examples are right in front of us.

Xue Liancheng really didn't want to say anything more and said perfunctorily, "Sir, I will seriously consider it, but I will let my agent take full responsibility for the contract renewal."

Si Bo's frown deepened, "Don't you want to make any concessions at all?"

Xue Liancheng took a deep look at Si Bo, and his heart felt really cold. He pondered for a moment and stopped hiding it, "I will let the market estimate my value."

Si Bo also took a deep look at Xue Liancheng, seemingly disappointed, and then sighed heavily, "Hey..."

This conversation ended on bad terms.

inside the car.

Silence returned.

The atmosphere is very depressing.

At this moment, the relationship between the two seemed to suddenly become extremely strange.
