Chapter 708 708. Are the Lakers here to be funny?
"Mary, yes, yes, can I be lazy if you ask me to help? Rich has promised, you two combine, he takes Ben Simmons, you take Brandon Ingram, of course here You have to suffer a bit, Ben Simmons is basically guaranteed to be the first pick, and Ingram can only be the second pick, thank you? You are welcome, our relationship still says this... By the way, the boss's contract extension... ...Hey, hey, hey...I'll wipe..."
Pelinka hung up the phone extremely speechless, and then looked at the three management bosses who were still smiling in front of him with a black face.
"Haha, Robert, I just said, even if you helped Mary, this woman who is proficient in calculations won't be too busy negotiating with you to renew the boss's contract, so don't worry about it." The magician laughed.
"...Although Mary is a penny-pinching cock, she keeps her word. If we can get a verbal renewal with a relatively low contract now, then we can save a little money." Pelinka said helplessly .
"It doesn't matter, even if the maximum salary increases by 1000 million at that time, we can afford it, right Jenny." The magician laughed.
"That's right, as long as we win the championship, we don't care how much money we have. Time Warner will pay for it for us." Jenny Buss said indifferently.
luxury tax?It does not exist, as long as the record is good, Jenny Buss can gnaw out the bones from those sponsors, and those sponsors happily send money to the door. This is the number one economic management ability of the Jenny Buss League. Speaking of To make money, he is better than any owner in the league... Of course, it is limited to managing NBA teams.
"If we don't spend so much money, those sponsors will give us the same amount of money. Erwin, you don't care, and you don't have shares. If you pay an extra 1000 million in luxury tax, I will lose hundreds of thousands of points." Pei Linka said resentfully that his net worth has basically been invested in the Lakers, and now he is waiting for the end of the season to pay dividends to support his family.
The magician was poked in pain. Who knew that the market value of the NBA would increase so much!His shares in that football team are not much at all. The owners of the football league basically owe money. Only the Dodgers have a chance to make money in a big city like Los Angeles. You must know that although the NFL is the most profitable league in the world , It is more profitable than the five major football leagues, but more than 50.00% and close to 60.00% of the money belongs to the players. In this way, the players feel that they are not earning enough and want to go on strike.
But there is no way around it. A football team has 20.00 to [-] players, and the contracts are scary. Even a star needs a ten-year contract. After all, the NFL has a very high probability of injury. If you are not careful, you will be reimbursed for your career. If you don’t sign it Who will do a long-term contract!This has also led to the fact that nearly [-]% of the NFL's salary is spent on the wounded of each team, and the pressure on the boss is even greater.
Now the magician is so full of regrets. The Lakers have a net profit of almost 2.5 million dollars a year. There is still a net profit of 5000 million yuan, which means that his previous 5.00% shares can earn 1000 million yuan a year, and if the Lakers win another championship, they will complete consecutive championships. By 15 years, the final terms of the 30 billion broadcast agreement will be triggered, and it will become 20 billion dollars in 50 years, and a series of other sponsorships will also have corresponding price increases... Thinking of this magician, I feel that life is full of despair .
Seeing the deflated expression of the magician, Pelinka finally felt a lot more comfortable about the hundreds of thousands of dollars that would cost him less points.
After the joke was over, the quartet of Lakers executives began to talk about business again.
The magician put away his aggrieved face and said seriously: "The situation is very clear now. The Warriors are very likely to comeback and enter the Western Conference Finals. That is not good for us. Although we have the advantage of rest time, they are against the trend. The momentum of a comeback is more terrifying than their sweeping the Thunder to advance, and the morale bonus brought about by their three-game winning streak is more worrying than directly sweeping the promotion."
"Yes, I really hope that the Thunder can beat the Warriors in the last game, but it's impossible. The Warriors win more games than one game. It's like playing against the Thunder in the regular season. The two teams are completely different. I don’t know if there is any way for Mike and Bernie. We didn’t play very well in the regular season and the Warriors, and we lost three times!” Pelinka was a little worried. It is estimated that the income that will increase by tens of millions next year will be ruined. After all, this is a written contract. The champion raises the price once, and the consecutive champions mention the maximum value of the contract.
For the owner of a team, the love for basketball is affirmative, otherwise most teams in small cities have been in debt to them, how could they still stick to it, but fortunately, the main income of most owners is not in the NBA The team, like the owner of the Clippers, is purely a love of basketball. He earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year at Microsoft, and has spent two years in the NBA for two years. Of course, he spends millions of dollars every year. For Ballmer, who is worth more than 230 billion US dollars and receives hundreds of millions of dividends from Microsoft every year, the tax is the same as playing games and earning a VIP. It does not exist.
But if you can make money, the more you earn, the better, and the condition for making money is a good record, so you have to pursue a good record. This is the original intention of the boss who loves basketball, and he can fulfill his dream with a good record. Still make money.
"The game is handed over to Mike, Bernie and our players. Bob, you have to believe that we have the best coach, the best lineup, and the strongest strength." The magician reminded him that he was afraid that Pelinka would run away. Go to D'Antoni and put pressure on D'Antoni.
At this time, the management should be separated from the players and coaches, and let them devote themselves to the game without worrying about anything or bearing pressure on anything. Their pressure is already great enough. The defending champion swept the Spurs , and then the fans have only one expectation for the team, and this one is enough pressure.
"But we should do something, Erwin, how is your talk with Myers going?" Pelinka suddenly thought of something, and asked meaningfully.
"Myers was very tempted. The Warriors basically thought that we had Barnes. Didn't you see that Barnes was so excited that he blocked Durant?" The magician showed his iconic expression. Smile, only a little bit badly this time.
"Then we should do something, do you want to help Thunder?" Pelinka also smirked.
"No, no, this kind of thing won't have a big effect until a certain time, maybe it won't work, and it will be counterproductive because the time interval is too long. It will only work when we play against the Warriors." Magician Quickly let Pelinka dispel the idea of launching that plan now.
"Well, I really can't wait." Pelinka was a little resentful. As a former agent, he always started with a plan. An agent needs to seize any opportunity, but as a management, it is different. catch the moment.
"What plan are you guys talking about?" Jenny Buss asked suspiciously, and Kupchak, who was the team's top trader, was also curious. Although this was not within Kupchak's authority, Kupchak's The job is to make deals and sign free agents.
"You will know this at that time, and it will definitely cause a big topic at that time. At that time, you will say that you don't know what happened, and that you are very angry that my plan was leaked, and you must prepare to thoroughly investigate who leaked the plan That's enough." The magician once again showed his iconic smile...but it was a bit dark...it was too bad...
……
……
On May 5th, in the final game of whether the Warriors can make a 19-1 comeback, the Warriors will start their tiebreaker against the Thunder at home.
Just the day before, the draft lottery ended, and the Phoenix Suns got the No. 2016 pick in 2016!The Nets got the No. 2018 pick... It's so simple, the Celtics, a team that reached the second round, actually got the No. [-] pick... They immediately executed the deal Pierce that year after the Nets won the No. [-] pick The additional clause with Garnett, that is, the right to swap the first round of the two teams in [-] and [-].
这个交易附加条款是凯尔特人除了拥有篮网2013、2015、2017年选秀权之外，还拥有2014、2016、2018年和篮网队互换选秀权的权力，并且仅限于前三顺位。
The Nets said that they are also very helpless, they are also very desperate...and in the next two years, they are estimated to continue to be desperate...
The Celtics expressed their interest in Brandon Ingram and immediately sent an invitation to Brandon Ingram for a rookie workout.
Ben Simmons has basically determined the position of the No. 1 pick since January this year. Although he was plagued by injuries, Irving was also plagued by injuries that year and did not affect his position as the No. [-] pick. He is also very good but younger. Brandon Ingram, who needs to be honed, is only ranked second in the rookie rankings.
Among the rookies participating in the draft in 2016, Ben Simmons and Ingram can be regarded as having superstar potential. As for the others... It really makes many team owners feel desperate to even enter the lottery zone. This year's draft talent is too great Crap.
And the sad Bucks, with the last record in the league, only got the No. 3 pick... Kidd doesn't even have the courage to use this pick to bid for Antetokounmpo. It's worthless!Not as valuable as a fringe lottery pick from last year...
Although the teams with first-round picks are very desperate, this year's draft is basically a rebate, and even the rookies in this draft except for Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram are estimated to have a career score. There are no players with double-digit potential, but the draft is like this. There are big draft years, and naturally there are now super draft low years, just like 2000 and 2013, shockingly bad draft years.
So the owners of each team can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, to see if they can be as lucky as the Lakers and Spurs, and they can always find a few treasures among players who are not good-looking by others.
Some teams even began to find out who the Lakers invited to participate in the draft trial.
This year the Lakers finally have their own draft pick, the 29th pick in the first round...
But anyway, it’s not the draft pick. The 2013 and 2015 draft picks were used to trade Nash. The 2014 draft picks and the Rockets’ 2014 draft picks were packaged and traded to select LaVine’s draft picks. , 2010, and 2011 are basically traded out. The Lakers have not selected a first-round pick for six consecutive years, and they can finally choose a first-round pick this year.
Since the Lakers have always been able to steal treasures from other teams' unsightly players in the first round, other teams want to see who the hell the Lakers will pick this year. It’s bad to gamble, and there is still a chance to win money. This year’s draft picks are not the top two picks, which is basically equivalent to paying money, even Jaylen Brown and Jamal Murray, who are known as having high-quality NBA combat power , Buddy Hield and others are far from worth the price of a lottery pick. In the usual draft year, it is the ability of the top ten defensive players and role pitchers in the first round.
Therefore, many teams have already made up their minds, just select the players who are the key trial players of the Lakers, and if they choose potential stocks that have not been discovered by others, they will make money. This year's first-round picks are basically a loss-making deal.
What else can we do? The rookie player reports given by the scouts are just like the general managers of those teams who are looking forward to turning around in the draft but fail to win the No. [-] pick. The talent in this year's draft is really amazing It sucks.
Except for Brandon Ingram, the pitcher with the highest potential is a pitcher named Jamal Murray, and his template is the rookie Jimmy Foo, who was selected by the Kings with the 2010th overall pick in the 11 draft. Redade...
And the Lonely God has completely disappeared from the NBA after the end of the four-year rookie contract with a full skyrocketing contract. Now he is playing for the Eastern Sharks in the CBA...
Except for the two possible super rookies with superstar potential, the player template with the best potential among the remaining rookies is a player who can't play in the NBA after his rookie contract is completed, and then the rest are either defensive top players. It's not even a defensive leader, which shows how desperate those team owners and general managers are now...
I can only go and grab someone from the Lakers!Even if that's just the original 29th pick and the 11th pick in the second round... Moreover, the Lakers' second-round pick is still compensation from the Rockets...
Just when many teams focused their attention on the list of invitations for the draft and training invited by the Lakers, the people invited by the Lakers made them dumbfounded.
Lakers president Magic Johnson invited Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram to Lakers draft workouts…
"Damn! Magician is joking, right? Do you expect these two people to fall out of the first round like Jordan?"
You know, these two people have previously accepted the trial training invitations of the Suns and Celtics with the No. [-] and No. [-] picks. The Deer team didn't even have the chance to try out two popular rookies.
Everyone thinks that the Lakers are here to be funny, a team with the 29th overall pick to invite the No. [-] and No. [-] favorites to try out?
Then... Everyone was so dumbfounded that their eyeballs almost fell out...
Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram both accepted workout invitations from the Lakers on the grounds that they were Kobe Bryant fans…
