Chapter 110 Contract for the same work

The next morning, Jiang Jun had just had breakfast and received another call from He Mike.

"Jiang, my uncle called me and said that their general manager, Mr. Rod Higgins, wanted to talk to us. What conditions should you ask him?"

He Mike was a little excited. Yesterday he felt sorry for Jiang Jun and did not build more momentum for Jiang Jun and strive for a good predictive ranking. But Jiang Jun did not blame him, and later called him and said that the Bobcats tried their best to win over him. He Mike secretly decided to fight for Jiang Jun and sign the most favorable contract. So he decided to win over Jiang Jun's opinion.

Jiang Jun smiled and said, "Mike, you can refer to our contract with Armani. When signing the contract, you can treat me as Kobe or James. On this basis, I think you have more confidence."

When He Mike heard Jiang Jun’s laughter, he felt that Jiang Jun was in a good mood. He then felt relieved. Yesterday, he felt uneasy because of guilt.

"Okay, OK. Jiang, I believe you can achieve James's achievements. Well, I understand. If you need anything, I'll call you again."

When Jiang Jun first heard Glover say that he and Jordan were having trouble in the evaluation yesterday, he was very angry because generally speaking, if the evaluation is poor, the draft pick will be low, which will lead to a small contract and a small impact.

However, after calming down, Jiang Jun also thought it was a good opportunity. Because he knew that there was definitely no problem for him to become the ruler of the court. Under this premise, you can still consider going to a team you like to go to.

For Jiang Jun, he most hopes to be teammates with Yao Ming. However, the Rockets have not shown any interest in him yet. And he heard from He Mike that the Rockets boss Alexander and general manager Morey are both very smart and stingy, like to squeeze players and take advantage of other teams, so most teams and agents are unwilling to deal with the Rockets.

When it is difficult to go to the Rockets, Jiang Jun doesn't mind the Bobcats because Jordan is a player he admires after all.

Moreover, for the arrogant Jiang Jun, leading a small ball like the Bobcats to win the championship will make him feel more accomplished.

As for the small city, it will affect its own market. Jiang Jun does not take it too seriously. As long as he becomes a superstar, merchants will naturally come to him.

What's more, he has asked the Bobcats and Jordan to compensate him.

"Let's go as you like, just play the ball." Jiang Jun thought for a while, called coach Bian Kangxiong, reported on his recent training situation, and told his decision.

Bian Kangxiong was not very clear about Jiang Jun's future. He was so happy when he heard that the Bobcats were rushing to pursue Jiang Jun.

"Jiang Jun, you have to seize the opportunity! I have contacted the Mavericks several times, but their goal this year is the championship, so they don't want to rely on rookies, they just want to sign players with immediate combat power. Since the Bobcats want to choose you, my opinion is to agree. After all, you have to play the ball first."

Seeing that Coach Bian also wanted to make sure that there was a ball first, Jiang Jun couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Old Bian didn't have enough confidence in him.

It's not surprising. Chinese defenders have never really entered the NBA league before. Although Jiang Jun played well in Cuba, he was unable to compare with CBA in terms of opponent level, confrontation intensity and even technology.

"It seems that I have a long way to go!" Jiang Jun was so proud of Yuntian. He knew that his performance would shock many people.

***************************************

After tug-of-war negotiations, He Mike finally called Charlotte at around 5:00 pm, and his pride was hard to hide his words.

"Jiang, I signed another contract according to your instructions. As long as you perform well, you will be able to get someone else's maximum salary in the first year!"

"Oh? Really!" Jiang Jun was also a little happy.

It seems that second-round picks are not useless. Although first-round players can sign guaranteed contracts, the advantage of second-round picks is that they are very flexible when signing contracts. Of course, second-round picks who were given maximum salary in the first year have not been discovered yet.

NBA is not that kind of charity, and it is not easy to make a fortune in it.

After listening to He Mike's brief explanation, Jiang Jun finally learned about his new contract. Like the contract they signed with Armani Group a few days ago, this contract is dynamic and there are certain variables.

On behalf of Jiang Jun, He concluded a contract with Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins. The contract stipulates that the Bobcats will do their best to trade Jiang Jun. If things go well, the Bobcats will sign a player contract with Jiang Jun.

Because Jiang Jun is expected to be a second-round pick, according to the relevant NBA regulations, second-round picks are not guaranteed, but there is no limit on how much salary they can get. Generally speaking, if the team keeps the second-round pick in the team, they can sign a contract between 400,000 and 700,000 US dollars a year.

The contract stipulates that if Jiang Jun joins the Bobcats, his contract is at least $700,000 a year, which is guaranteed, regardless of whether he can play or not.

The Bobcats promised to focus on cultivating Jiang Jun and give Jiang Jun enough playing time. If Jiang Jun averages 10 points and 5 assists per game, he will receive an additional $1 million this season.

If Jiang Jun can average 20 points and 10 assists per game and become the team's recognized leader, his annual bonus and salary will reach $5 million!

If this data can also help the team reach the first round of the playoffs, his total income is $6 million!

If this data can also help the team to enter the second round of the playoffs, his total income will be $8 million!

If this data can also help the team reach the third round of the playoffs, that is, the Eastern Conference Finals, his total income is $10 million!

If this data can also help the team reach the finals, his total income will be $15 million!

If Jiang Jun leads his team to win the championship based on this data, his total income will reach an astonishing $20 million!

Originally, according to Jiang Jun's intention, the contract was signed for one year first. After a year, if both parties were satisfied, they could continue to sign, but after careful investigation, He Mike found that there was a clause that was not good for Jiang Jun, that was the famous "Alinas Terms".

The Arenas clause is for second-round rookies who have only signed a one-year or two-year rookie contract. The rookies who have signed a three-year rookie contract will have Bird qualification after the contract is over, and are not listed here.

The Bird clause and the Early Bird clause are both exceptions for signing contracts beyond the maximum amount of the salary cap. The team may renew the contract with the team's liberation party without the provisions of the salary limit.

Most second-round rookies will only sign one or two-year rookie contracts with the team that selected him, so after the rookie contract is over, he will only have the qualification of early Bird, not Bird.

The Early Bird clause provides that for players who have played for all or part of the seasons in the past two years (including those who have transferred because of team trades), the team can renew their contracts at a higher salary of 175% of the player's last year's salary and the average player salary of the league (i.e., middle class) after he becomes a free agent.

This means that if the total salary of the parent team is above the salary cap, it can only provide middle-class contracts for second-round rookies after the end of the two-year rookie contract.

The two-year rookie contract will meet the conditions for restricted free agents after the end of the two-year rookie contract, so a problem arises: when other teams offer invitation contracts that exceed the middle class for the player, the parent team will not be able to follow up.

The general of that year, Gilbert Arenas, a player from No. 0, signed a rookie contract with the Warriors for two years. After the contract was over, the Warriors could only watch Arenas accept the invitation contract offered by the Wizards that exceeded the middle class and go far away. This made the Warriors very helpless. In order to protect the rights of the mother team and avoid such a tragedy, the league issued the Arenas clause.

The Arenas clause stipulates that other teams can only offer contracts below the middle class for second-round rookies after the two-year rookie contract. That is, other teams cannot offer contracts higher than their parent team contracts for such players.

So He Mike decided to sign a "3+1" contract for Jiang Jun. That is to say, he played for three years with the Bobcats and became a restricted player in the last year. In this way, if it is valuable, he can directly sign a maximum salary contract without restrictions.

If Jiang Jun leads the team to achieve the contract goals and get such a high salary, he will become the first player in history to get a maximum salary in the rookie season.

However, Jiang Jun also authorized He Mike to add some conditions to it. For example, the first three years have used this relatively flexible contract. Moreover, if Jiang Jun decides to retire due to serious injuries or not wanting to play basketball, the contract will automatically terminate at the end of that season.

It is conceivable that when the Bobcats general manager Higgins signed the contract, he must have expressed no pressure.

Who would believe that a small defender as a foreign player can lead a weak team like the Bobcats to achieve such good results in the first year and even reach the league's championship?

As the main player in the rookie year, he won the finals MVP, only Magic Johnson was the only one in so many years. The Magic is recognized as a stunning talented player who meets once in thirty or even fifty years. He joined the powerful Lakers in the NBA. At that time, there were also the top three superstars in the league at that time, such as Kareem Kareem in the league.

The most important thing is that the Magician was the No. 1 pick at that time, while Jiang Jun is likely to be just a second round pick.

"Very good!" Jiang Jun felt that this situation was not bad, at least he could avoid worries. He just wanted to think about how to become stronger and how to play well.
