Chapter 184 3 Contract
Chapter 184 Three Year Contract
The game between the Lakers and the Pacers attracted a large number of media, but Bruce didn't have time to watch the game because of the two of them!
"Lanny, what do you think our chances are?" Bruce looked at Wilkens solemnly, and couldn't tell for a while!
The most exciting thing for managers this summer is the three players Tim Duncan, Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady!
Both Duncan and Tracy McGrady were rookies in 97, and their contracts expired one after another this summer. After returning to free agency, they immediately became the hottest players in the entire league!
Hill seems a bit tangled, because of the irreconcilable relationship with the Pistons management, and the team's record has been in a tepid state, which makes him very tired of continuing to waste his years!
Although Hill's injury may affect his market, there are many managers in the league who are flocking to him.
"Tim is the most suitable for us, but he has already expressed his unwillingness to play the center position, but it is very tricky!" Wilkens thought for a moment, thinking of this depressing thing, he couldn't help feeling worried!
Duncan's first thought when he returned to free agency was that no matter which team, he would never play the role of center.
Because the Warriors already have Nowitzki, although he lacks a lot in dominance compared to Duncan, he has grown into a quasi-star player!
After a season of explosion, Nowitzki can average 19 points and 6 rebounds per game in this season.
But compared to Duncan's data on rebounds and blocks, he seems a bit weaker!
Now, especially after Duncan has made it clear that his request made Bruce a little tangled!
"What about the other two?" Bruce asked expectantly with a flash of regret in his eyes.
Wilkens shook his head with a wry smile. He already knew something about the other two: "The two of them need the ball in their hands to play a huge deterrent, but we already have Vince, which makes it very difficult Difficult to balance their shot and control of the basketball on a consistent team!"
"This..." Thinking of the Lakers team full of stars from his previous life, Bruce couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "It seems that my thinking is too simple!"
Judging from the current lineup of the Warriors, the configuration of each position is gradually balanced. If Carter plays more selflessly, then other players will quickly grow into a good helper on his own.
As Bruce and Wilkens' conversation about the three came to an end, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Please come in!" Bruce and Wilkens closed the documents in front of them one after another, and both looked in the direction of the office door!
Bruce Bowen pushed the door calmly and walked in. After some incidents and so many years of being in the NBA, he has put himself in a very correct position. Although he is about to discuss the contract with Bruce, he It still seems a little unhurried!
"Hello, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Laney!" Bruce Bowen greeted the two very politely, and then walked to the desk!
Seeing Bowen's calm look, Bruce and Wilkens showed unexpected expressions one after another!
Since joining the Warriors, Bowen has been a bit low-key, but his diligent training and hard-working attitude are all in the eyes of Bruce and Wilkens!
For his extension, Bruce and Wilkens reached an agreement at the end of the season.
"Bruce, I am very glad that you will come here in person!" Bruce stood up with a smile, shook hands with Bowen, pointed to the seat on the side, and said, "Please sit down!"
Bowen's expression of surprise flashed across, he was very surprised by Bruce's way of doing this!
After experiencing the "wandering" of several teams, Bowen has recognized the reality, and thinking of the way those managers and owners negotiate, he can't help feeling a sense of belonging and intimacy with Bruce.
Watching Bowen sit down slowly, Bruce said helplessly, "Don't you have an agent?"
Thinking of what happened to the two of them before, Wilkens and Bruce smiled at each other, and then looked at Bowen who was a little confused!
"Sorry, sir, I can't afford it!" Bowen didn't think there was anything wrong at all. If he hired an agent, he would not only have to pay the corresponding remuneration, but he would also have to take part of the small salary after the contract was signed. Hand it over to the agent, this is something he really doesn't want to see.
Bruce looked at Bowen in astonishment, he couldn't help but laugh at the situation of these guys!
Foyle is because the agent failed to find sponsorship according to his request. Billups simply used his fiancée as his agent, and now Bowen who did not hire an agent for some reason , Bruce and Wilkens couldn't help but feel a little funny!
"Okay, Bruce, can you tell me about your situation?" Bruce looked at Bowen curiously, he was very interested in Bowen's affairs!
"Because I want to support my family!" When Bao Wen said the word "support a family", an unusually firm expression suddenly appeared on his face.
When hearing Bowen's words and seeing the look on his face, Bruce and Wilkens couldn't help but be moved!
Since Bowen joined the NBA, his journey has not been smooth.
He first played for a year in the CBA, the sub-league of the United States. As there was no NBA team, Bowen resolutely chose to go to France!
After Bowen achieved certain results in Europe, after he was not selected by an NBA team in the 92-93 season, he finally entered the NBA family he dreamed of after four years!
In the following years, Bowen gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA and his defensive efforts. Although he was still flowing among several teams, he did not leave here again!
When Bruce called Bowen, Bowen's mood didn't seem too excited after experiencing these things, and some were just secretly looking forward to it.
"Okay, very good!!" Bruce had an inexplicable look in his eyes, and looked at Bowen and applauded loudly!
Most players in the NBA use supporting their families as a factor in negotiations, but as time goes by, this important weight in negotiations has gradually become tasteless.
And Bowen's situation obviously does not belong to the category of those exorbitant prices.
"Thank you!" Bowen showed a happy and warm expression for the first time.
"Take me to say hello to your family!" Bruce said with a smile, then took out a document, looked at Bowen and said, "Bruce, can you tell me about your psychological value?"
"Thank you, I will!" Bowen said with a smile at first, then thought for a while, and said, "Do you have any plans for my future?"
Hearing this, Bruce couldn't help but secretly nodded.
In the NBA, all players will basically ask this question when they trade or sign contracts. Apart from the amount of the contract, this is the most critical question for players.
"Bruce, do you think you are satisfied with the Warriors?" Bruce didn't answer directly, but asked Bowen instead!
"Very good, I like the feeling of healthy competition!" Bowen said without hesitation. Since he came to the Warriors, although there are still two big mountains on the front line, Posey and Marshall, if coupled with the temporary vague positioning Hughes, in the small forward competition, he has no chance at all.
But under this kind of pressure, Bowen not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but even urged him to train actively and face the game with all his strength after playing.
"I'm very glad you said that!" Bruce nodded in satisfaction, and Wilkens beside him nodded with a smile like him.
"Since you don't have an agent, do you need me to temporarily hire one for you?" Thinking about Bowen's situation, Bruce thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your help, but I believe I can handle this problem well!" Bowen looked at Bruce gratefully and didn't think about this issue. Although Bruce would pay the fee, he politely declined.
"Well, since you insist, what kind of contract is your psychological price?" Bruce said slowly, looking at Bowen with a serious face.
Bowen thought about this question thoroughly before coming, so when Bruce asked, he said very simply: "I hope to get a long-term contract, and I don't want to be wandering among the teams all the time!"
Bruce nodded in understanding, and then asked expectantly, "What about the amount? What is your request?"
"I know my abilities best. If Mr. Bruce thinks that I am a small supplement, I think you will definitely give me a satisfactory price!" After several years in Europe and other teams, Bowen has You can face it so calmly!
Compared with the price he proposed, if the asking price is too high, Bowen may be given up by the team directly with his current ability, but if it is too low, he is a little unwilling, so he thought of this compromise before coming .
"This..." Seeing Bowen's embarrassed look, Bruce couldn't help thinking of Billups who did the same thing.
"Bruce, you're really smart!" Bruce said dumbfoundedly, then took out a contract that had already been drawn up, and said slowly: "This is a three-year contract worth $390 million. If you perform well during the year, I will terminate this contract early in the second year of the contract, so as to evaluate and re-sign the contract based on your ability and help to the team, what do you think?"
Bowen looked at Bruce in surprise. For him, although the money matched his ability very well at present, Bruce's words afterwards completely stunned him!
No role player among role players like him will receive this kind of treatment, and only those well-known players in the league will receive the team's treatment similar to the assessment internship period.
At present, he only has the ability to defend and some open three-pointers. In the NBA, I dare not say that there are a lot of them, at least not a few.
Bruce quietly waited for Bowen's decision. With Bowen's current ability, he really couldn't get a contract worth close to [-] million yuan.
This is also the contract that Bruce temporarily offered Bowen for him in consideration of his future abilities. He also made it very clear just now, and now he can only wait for Bowen's final result.
After a period of consideration, Bowen finally raised his head firmly: "Mr. Bruce, thank you very much for your approval!"
Seeing Bowen's appearance, Bruce couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
Bowen's words have clearly stated his final answer. With this defensive champion staying behind, Bruce will have a lot of space in his subsequent operations!
After finishing the temporary signing with Bowen, Bruce and Wilkens had a sumptuous lunch with Bowen to celebrate the success of the signing!
According to the league's regulations, Bruce can't make this contract public yet, and he can only officially complete the contract with Bowen until August 8!
