Chapter 176 Get Billups Done
In the expectation of Bruce and Wilkens, a standard black beauty walked in with some embarrassment!
The moment Billups saw the other party, an extremely happy expression appeared on his face. He hugged her in his arms, kissed her forehead lightly, and turned around with a smile.
"This is?" Bruce looked at the happy appearance of the two, and already guessed their relationship in his heart!
"Hi, Mr. Bruce!" Piper gently broke away from Billups' arm, first greeted Bruce, then looked at Wilkens with a smile, and said, "Welcome, Mr. Laney!"
Bruce and Wilkens stood up one after another, shook hands with Piper in turn, and looked at her curiously!
"I'm Chauncey's girlfriend, Piper Billups!" Piper introduced herself generously.
When Bruce and Wilkens heard Piper's last name, they couldn't help but look at Billups with a helpless face!
"Piper is too stubborn!" Billups took Piper's hand, walked to Bruce and the two, sat on the sofa, and said, "Sorry, boss, we are planning to hold a warm and small wedding in the near future , when the time comes, you and Mr. Lanney must come!"
Bruce and Wilkens looked at the happy couple unexpectedly, looked at each other, and said with joy, "Congratulations, I wish you a happy life together!"
"Congratulations, boys!"
Billups and the two looked at Bruce suspiciously. He didn't quite understand Bruce's poor translation.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Bruce smiled embarrassedly, and then explained the idiom!
Hearing the explanation, Billups and Billups were extremely happy.
The two have been together since they were 17, and after a romantic encounter, Billups and Piper realized they had found the other half of their lives!
In this warm atmosphere, Bruce didn't want to spoil the scenery by presenting his willingness to negotiate.
But Piper has clearly gotten into his role.
"Mr. Bruce, thank you very much for your blessing!" Piper said with a smile, and then refilled the coffee for the two, saying: "Chauncey has received several contracts from his team, but we want to talk to you as soon as possible." talk!"
"Uh..." Bruce looked at Piper with a serious face unexpectedly, and Wilkens who was also a little surprised, and then said with a smile, "Thank you very much!"
"After our discussion, we would like to hear what your positioning of Chauncey is now!"
"Here we come!" Bruce murmured to himself, then thought for a while, and said, "With Chauncey's ability, it may be too early to be a starter. We will provide him with sufficient learning time so that he can become a starter soon." Leader of the Warriors!"
Billups and Piper couldn't help showing surprised expressions when they heard Bruce's plan!
In these two seasons, although Billups has gradually become the first substitute of an iron-clad point guard, his ability is judging from the current situation, just as Bruce said!
There is no player who does not want to get a starting position, and there is no player who is not tempted by this kind of promise!
Thinking that the Timberwolves will not provide Billups with a chance to start, Piper and Billups looked at each other and said with joy: "Thank you very much for your trust in Chauncey, I think he will definitely show Maximum energy, to meet your satisfaction requirements at the fastest speed!"
Bruce and Wilkens looked at each other in astonishment. After listening to Piper's words, did this set the tone for the contract renewal? ?
What Bruce didn't know was that although other teams were so interested in Billups that they offered a pretty good contract, none of the teams revealed their willingness to focus on training him.
Just this makes Billups and Piper feel depressed, especially the Timberwolves, this team with Garnett, has gradually shown great potential this year, but compared to the Warriors, it still seems to be the most powerful team. Somewhat inferior.
Therefore, after Billups discussed with his fiancée, they wanted to wait for the conditions and price offered by Bruce, and now they have got the maximum conditions they wanted, which made them very excited!
"Uh... don't you guys ask me about my salary?" Bruce couldn't help but feel a little weird seeing the happy faces of the two!
"Salary is not important anymore, will you offer Chauncey a basic salary contract?" Piper said playfully, glanced at the helpless Billups beside him, and continued with a smile: "Of course, I I think you'll make a reasonable contract according to Chauncey's abilities!"
Bruce was completely speechless to the new couple. Although the contract matter seemed a bit unimportant under the guarantee or training of the starter, but after hearing what Piper said, he was embarrassed to say his offer up!
In his original plan, he was preparing to win Billups first with a three-year contract with a total value of 1200 million US dollars, and then sign a seven-year contract with him when his contract expires. However, after hearing what Piper said now, this contract might be a little unreliable!
Seeing Bruce lost in thought, Piper wisely pulled Billups out of the reception room.
"Lanny, do you think Chauncey has great potential?" Bruce looked at the two Pipers who left, and immediately asked Wilkens who was thinking about it.
"Chauncey's potential can only be regarded as above-average. What I admire most about him is precisely his potential that is neither high nor low!" Wilkens recalled Billups' performance and said seriously.
Billups' potential and physical fitness are above average among guards, but his skills and room for growth have not improved very fast in the past two years!
Although Bruce understands the great success of this key man in his previous life, the current ability of the other party and the ambiguity of his own position made him suddenly fall into confusion!
"Is 7 years old?" Bruce looked at Wilkens seriously. Before making this decision, he had to ask the old man what he thought.
"Yes, he was the No. 97 in [-]!" Wilkens said without hesitation.
"500 million?" Bruce thought about the team's salary space, and said reluctantly considering the space that might be consumed in the future.
Because of Carter and Nowitzki, plus Kirilenko who will join the Warriors next year and Ginobili who will join the Warriors the following year, if all the contracts of these guys are settled, it will be a Huge payroll, so Bruce has to plan carefully now!
"If next season he can guarantee the level of this season or grow extremely fast, this contract must be a high-quality and low-cost existence, and if he has huge fluctuations, it will be a little bit in the first and second years of the contract. It’s not worth it, but his potential and golf intelligence are factors we need very much!” Wilkens analyzed Billups’ price-performance ratio in great detail!
Bruce couldn't help admiring Wilkens' far-reaching views. In his previous life, Billups was in the Timberwolves for two years. As Wilkens expected, when he joined the Pistons, he gradually grew into a team leader. A star player loved by coaches and fans alike.
"Let's set his contract like this!" Thinking of the Warriors' environment and Wilkens' coaching ability, Bruce still chose to sign Billups at an average annual price of 500 million, which is roughly the full middle-class price!
"Uh... Will something happen to Sam (Kassel)?" Wilkens suddenly thought of Kassel. After signing the contract that year, this guy can't stop complaining until now. Don't stop, if you sign Billups with this price now, it will create some potential crises!
"Lenny, in your opinion, a 30-year-old veteran or a 23-year-old guy, which one deserves a contract like this?" Bruce said helplessly.
Cassel signed a 97-year contract with the Nets in 6 with a total value of 2100 million U.S. dollars. Because of the sudden explosion of commercial promotion in the league, as the salaries of the players increased year by year, the annual salary was only 350 million U.S. dollars Kassel always complained about the injustice and displeasure of his contract!
Even though he often complains that his contract is not as much as a backup point guard, Bruce is very disdainful of this!
Although Cassel's personality is a little weird, he was very excited when he received this tens of millions of annual salary.
But now that the salary is increasing every year, it seems a bit unreasonable to complain about it!
Is it true that the annual salary has been stagnating and maintaining the salary in the mid-90s?
This is absolutely impossible, just like Garnett, although it was a bit shocking and criticized at the time to get the [-] million yuan contract, but with the fact that he exploded with huge energy and gradually became a super giant, it made those who were The noisy crowd suddenly lost their voices!
Kassel's strength is undeniable, but a contract that was considered very good back then is an affirmation of his strength!
"I will consider Sam's problem. If he will continue to complain as before, I think other teams will be very interested in him!" Bruce shrugged helplessly, and it was not a good decision to make this decision. He hated this one of the heroes who once won the Rockets championship, but he felt a little weird about Cassel's complaints at the moment!
Of course, there is no shortage of such players in the league, such as Pippen, who is about to end his career!
While the two were discussing Kassel's problem softly, Piper and Billups came in with a plate of fresh fruit and smiled!
"Chauncey, welcome back!!" Bruce handed over a draft contract, and looked at the joyful two people, showing a very satisfied smile!
With Billups settled, Bruce and Wilkens stayed in the beautiful city of Denver for two more days at the invitation of Billups, and then returned to Oakland non-stop!
There, there are Foyle, Bruce Bowen and Wallace waiting for them!
The mother-in-law's family is going to build a house. Today there may be two shifts every day on Saturday and Sunday, and three shifts will resume next Monday. I hope friends understand!
