Chapter 504 The Greatest Crisis of the Dynasty



Chapter 504 The Greatest Crisis of the Dynasty

Su Yang was puzzled.

As early as when the lineup was completed in the off-season, I talked to Gay specifically about the number of possessions. At that time, Gay replied that he valued the championship more. Now that this situation occurs, I don’t know if it was Gay’s instruction or his agent. People make up their own minds.

If it is an agent who makes trouble, a blood-sucking player like the well-known agent Danny Fagan can easily let him go.

If Gay himself wants more ball possessions, it's easy to handle.

The king's regular bench lineup, Turner's desire to attack is very low, Thomas Jr. is a signing with a salary cut, Covington has a rookie contract, Jason Thompson lacks independent offensive ability, and it is almost impossible for the four to give the ball to Gay. resistance.

But it doesn't make sense.

The team has won 19 consecutive victories at the start, and its record ranks first in the league. It is the result of the hard work of all members. Even Curry and Cousins ​​have taken the lead in sharing the ball with other players and deliberately let Gay play more. It does have that ability.

What's more, Gay's salary is the highest, and his sacrifice is not in vain.

Therefore, neither Gay's instruction nor the agent's own initiative can satisfy the kind of deliberate request for more possessions.

The best way is to let Gay play as many points as possible in some games that are particularly suitable for Gay, just like Curry on the night of 54 points. Can help Gay better sign big contracts.

After making up his mind, Su Yang turned to look at Xin Ji.

"The wording of this email is really strong..."

Hinkie chuckled, "If it's the agent's own idea, it's his job to help the players under his name win big contracts. If it's Guy's idea, then I suggest communicating with him first, and then make further plans based on the results of the communication. , try not to announce..."

Hinkie's plan is very clear, first to stabilize the situation, the start of 19 wins is hard-won, and if it is not handled well, it will easily hurt morale.

Just like the Pacers last season, because of the trade of Danny Granger, the atmosphere in the locker room collapsed. Stephenson left the Hornets because he wanted more money. Lost to explode.

"After more than a season of getting along, I'm 90.00% sure that the email is from Guy's agent, and there's no need to ask Guy for his knowledge or consent. You just reply and say no. I'll just observe Guy's performance on the field..."

From Su Yang's point of view, when it comes to potential huge benefits, it is more appropriate not to say anything, and it is enough for adults to understand each other.

As for the agent who sent the email, let's go cool.

Xinji showed some hesitation, "I think you should pay attention to the name of this broker and the name of this brokerage company."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Su Yang swiped the screen of the phone, and suddenly saw Jeff Austin's signature and Octagon's logo.

"You said that, I just remembered that this Austin is Curry's agent. Before we recruited Curry, it was he who wanted to watch other teams. His clients seem to be quite a lot of big-name players." Su Yang One after another, I thought about some things about the agent, but I didn't pay much attention to it before. The main reason is that Jeff Austin lacks fame. Unlike Rich Paul, dating Adele can be a hot search.

"In addition to being the agent of Curry and Gay, he is also the agent of Giannis, and he is the agent of Wesley Matthews, the 3D player we want to pursue next season, and his Octagon company has An agent named Jeff Schwartz is Nikola Jokic's agent, which means that he and Schwartz currently control our three core players..."

Hinkie's tone was very serious, Su Yang instantly realized the importance of the matter, and instantly wanted to understand why Hinkie would directly find himself for discussion, and also thought that Cousins ​​might also sign Schwartz as an agent in the future, the Kings Half of the players are concerned.

Naturally, I also understand why the wording of that email is so strong, because others can influence the king's future trend.

Su Yang was suddenly a little upset.

Although the agent can't decide everything, because the player's willingness is more important, but some players can't stand the agent's flicker, and it involves tens of millions of dollars in interests, so it is easy to become self-centered. The agent has made a lot of troubles in the league.

For example, Boozer tricked the Cavaliers into a rebellious boy, which was operated by the famous agent Pelinka, and the well-known agent Rich Paul, whose client Thompson only had 8 points and 8 rebounds, but forced the Cavaliers to offer a contract of 8200 million US dollars. Dead knight space.

Of course, not only the Cavaliers were hurt, but also Griffin's agent Schwartz threatened the Pistons to buy out Griffin's contract and so on.

In the future, many agents, in order to ensure the interests of the players and themselves, will seek a deal if the situation is slightly unfavorable, even if they have just signed a contract for one year, or have been pursuing the maximum contract revenue, signing contracts such as 1+1 many times, so that the team Always in a situation of fear, or jumping out of the contract to make the team lose the injury exception, in short, it is bullying the small ball market and weak management.

"Speaking of it, it seems that the huge contract Gay got in the Grizzlies was operated by Austin. At the beginning, it was 5 million in 5000 years, 5 million in 6500 years, and 5 million in the last 8200 years. As an agent It's awesome..."

In 09, the Grizzlies planned to renew Gay ahead of schedule. At that time, Gay averaged 18.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Gay wanted 5 million in five years, because Aldridge, who entered the NBA in the same year, averaged only 6500 more rebounds per game. Sign like the Blazers.

At that time, Aldridge had already proved himself in the playoffs, but Gay hadn't, but Jeff Austin, as Gay's agent, directly offered Gay a maximum salary of 5 years, and various operations took turns. The Grizzlies finally Forced to sign a contract and lock up his own space.

"Yes, so I think this matter needs to be handled carefully, otherwise it will affect many of our future plans..."

Su Yang heard the words and thought, player agents may indeed affect the team's recruitment plan, and even affect the league structure. operate.

At that time, Henry, as an agent, owned three players Bosh, Wade, and Haslem under his name. He participated in the operation ahead of time. It directly contributed to the Heat's dominance of the Eastern Conference.

Specific to the king, if the handling is not good, there will be troubles about Gay's possession of the ball, the troubles of signing Matthews in the middle, and the troubles of Antetokounmpo's contract extension and Curry's maximum salary extension. Even Jokic may Will be abducted, and the bamboo basket will be empty.

It's serious.

The dynasty I have worked so hard to build is actually in danger of being ostracized by the agent and the agent company. In the past, I would not be a bird, but the draft bonus was almost eaten up. In the future, I will only be able to pick up leaks from the free market. The appeal to many big-name players is average .

The possibility that Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo and others would cut their salaries and renew their contracts before, now seems to be negligible, and it is still too naive.

After all, it has been so many years in the NBA, and there are only a few superstars who are willing to cut their salaries for the team many times, so they will be remembered by fans.

In a short while, Su Yang wanted to set up a brokerage company by himself, but according to the existing rules of the league, it is illegal. As far as the relationship between LeBron and Rich Paul is concerned, the NBA will come forward to investigate whether LeBron owns the shares of Rich Paul's brokerage company. Disaster.

Or try to persuade Antetokounmpo and others to give up their agents and learn from Nowitzki and Jaylen Brown.

It is also possible to sit on Harden and let his mother act as an agent, no matter what, as long as no one gets in the way.

Don't be like Noel, who was able to sign a big contract, but the 76ers couldn't contact him, and couldn't contact his agent Rich Paul, and finally signed with the Thunder with a basic salary, causing both the 76ers and Noel to suffer. The loss is really painful.

"The plan remains the same. You reply to the email first, reject Austin's request, and I'll see Gay's reaction on the field."

Su Yang gritted his teeth lightly, "Anyway, I'm not the Cavaliers owner Gilbert, I don't accept threats..."
