Chapter 43 - Sign a contract
Happiness came a little too suddenly, and Li Tuan and Xia Fangfei both had fun…
“No need to go to Salt Lake City? Haha, can stay in Texas!” Li Tuanjie was ecstatic at heart. Originally Dallas Mavericks was Li Tuanqiu’s favorite team, and now he can finally join the Mavericks as he wished. He is naturally happy.
Last season, the Mavericks led by head coach Avery Johnson, played a very good regular season record, and finally reached the finals smoothly. Although lost in the finals, the Mavericks last season Definitely the best team in the league!
At first glance, a newcomer joining a super-strong team like the Mavericks cannot be said to be a good thing. It is easy to bury talent because of lack of playing time.
But Li Tuan has his own consideration. Joining the Mavericks is actually a good thing for Li Tuan. At least it is more beneficial to Li Tuan than joining the Rockets or Spurs.
The first is the Mavericks’ lineup. The Mavericks’ lineup in these two seasons is definitely one of the best in the entire league. There are many stars in the team, but although there are many stars, but the power forward position, except for Nowitzki, I really can’t find any decent players.
The two players currently in the Mavericks power reserve are Kevin Willis and Austin Crosshill. The two players have played together for more than 20 minutes, but the two Statistics add up to less than 6 points and 5 rebounds per game…
These two people are now the substitutes of Nowitzki. It is no wonder that Cuban had to bleed to recruit Li Tuanjie under his command…
Don’t even think about it. Once Li Tuanjie joins the Mavericks, at least one of the two will be swept away by the Mavericks, and then make room for Li Tuanjie!
In this way, if Li Unity’s performance can be better, it may not take long to become Nowitzki’s chief substitute!
becoming the chief substitute means that Li Unity will have a stable playing time, which is extremely precious for any rookie player!
……
In addition to joining the Mavericks, he can definitely get a stable playing time. Nowitzki, as the most outstanding projection power forward in the league today, there are definitely a lot of places where Li Unity can learn. Under the influence of Vicky, there is a great possibility to enhance his offensive awareness.
Finally, the Mavericks, as a strong player in the league, have received a high degree of attention. As long as Li Tuan’s performance is reliable, the usual exposure is absolutely indispensable.
Overall, the Dallas Mavericks are quite suitable for Li Tuan, and they are very suitable for the starting stage of his NBA career!
……
After saying goodbye to Brand-Davis, Li Tuanjie and Xia Fangfei returned happily to Dallas…
“I said you grinned all the way, can we drive well, it’s scary!” Li Tuanjie said to Xia Fangfei who was driving while sitting on the co-pilot.
“You can’t laugh anymore? Li Tuanjie, you have the skills, do you think you are able to become a big star? Will you abandon your mother?” Xia Fangfei glanced at Li Tuanjie, his face uncomfortable.
“Ah, you pay attention to the word ha, what is abandonment? It seems like I am Chen Shimei!”
“Oh, Li Tuanjie, it’s really unbelievable. Seeing you usually honest and honest, even so arrogant, believe it or not, I will throw you on the side of the road and let you go back…”
“Don’t refer, don’t refer, what’s the matter, we are such good brothers, how can I abandon you…”
“Oh, it turns out you treat me like a brother!”
……
After the end of the draft at the end of June, three days later, Li Tuan received the Mavericks team notice, inviting him to come to the team on July 7 to sign a rookie contract!
had to say that Mavericks had high hopes for Li Tuan as a result, and the signing of the contract did not drag on for a long time!
Before signing the contract, there are still some procedures to go, such as physical examinations done by the team themselves, such as health tests, etc., Li Tuanjie passed easily and did not waste too much time!
This time the contract is signed, because it is a standard rookie contract, so no broker or lawyer team is required.
Generally speaking, a popular rookie like Li Tuan must have already found an agent before the draft. After all, the role of the agent for a player is not only as simple as signing a professional contract!
Especially before the draft, a qualified agent used their excellent operational capabilities, that is, the ability to build momentum, and even had the opportunity to greatly improve the draft picks of rookie players.
However, Li Tuan does not need others to build momentum for him, he can build momentum for himself, and his strength does not need to be mysterious!
Originally, Xia Fangfei also wanted to use his relationship to help Li Tuan set up a team of brokers, but he was euphemistically rejected by Li Tuai. He owed a lot of money to Xia Fangfei, and he could not rely on Xia Fangfei to help him. …
(Blowout prevention: Don’t think that all players have agents, at least half of the rookie players in the NBA have no agents)
The contract signed by Li Tuan and Mavericks is a 3+1 contract, the first three years are guarantee contracts, and the last year is a team option. The total contract amount is 8.84 million~www.mtlnovel.com~of which the first year’s starting salary 1.87 million, the amount in the last year was 2.84 million.
Obviously, although Li Tuanjie is not low in the draft, how to say he is also a lotto show, but the contract amount is completely incomparable with the champion, his contract is less than half of Bagnani…
Then there is the selection of the jersey number. In the list of available numbers provided by Davis, Li Tuan looked at it. Among them, No. 1 and No. 14 are his favorite numbers, but the number 1 was originally the Mavericks defender Bag. That is the bargaining chip for the Mavericks…
Because of the arrival of Li Tuan, Bagna had to pack away, so this No. 1 jersey will naturally be empty!
After thinking about it, Li Tuan finally gave up choosing the No. 1 jersey. Anyway, when Bagna just left, he occupied the other’s jersey number, which seemed a bit unkind.
In the end, Li Tuanjie’s jersey number was determined to be No. 14, mainly because Li Tuanjie was selected by the 14th pick in the first round, and Nowitzki’s number was 41…
……
The signing of this rookie contract, the Mavericks are very low-key, and did not hold a rookie meeting, just now the Mavericks just experienced the finals defeat, is in a period of turmoil, it is really not high-profile.
After signing his name on the contract, Li Tuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his long-cherished wish was finally realized!
……
successfully joined the NBA team, and joined the Dallas Mavericks, who are still very fond of him, as teammates with the German anti-aircraft Nowitzki, which makes Li Unity feel as if he is living in a dream.
He firmly believes that with his own efforts and the assistance of the Wanjie Mall system, he can definitely play a dazzling performance on the Mavericks stage!
“NBA! I’m Li Tuanjie!”
