Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 8 The first signing

Because he was in the Utah Jazz and twice became a stumbling block for the Chinese National Democratic Team in the playoffs, Boozer can be said to be a player that people love and hate in the hearts of Chinese fans. But most fans definitely recognize Boozer's ability. Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, Boozer's ravages on the inside of the Rockets are shocking. And in fact, Boozer not only bullied the Rockets inside, but also deserved recognition for his performance when facing the Warriors and Spurs in the playoffs.  The one who can restrain him the most is Gasol, who is not good at defense for the Lakers. However, the flaws do not conceal the advantages, and Boozer is worthy of a big contract from the Nets if he can firmly occupy an All-Star position in the Western Conference where there are many strong players. And his tough post-up, awkward posture but especially accurate mid-range jumper, and the high-post support ability honed in the Jazz still meet Stevens' needs for the power forward position at this stage. Jiang Mingliang also raised concerns with Stevens, worrying that Boozer's role would decline if he left the pick-and-roll tactics, but Stevens dispelled this concern, and he was confident that he would make good use of Boozer.

Right now, regardless of whether there is a show or not, almost all teams are focusing on James, Wade and others. Except for the Utah Jazz, the parent team, who are actively discussing with Boozer about contract renewal, other teams are not enthusiastic. Not high, and because of this, the Nets easily met Boozer himself.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Mingliang, Coach Stevens." Under the introduction of agent Pelinka, Boozer shook hands with Jiang Mingliang and Stevens devoutly, but he was very proud in his heart.

In Boozer's own view, the dilapidated Nets need an exciting name to regroup, and Jiang Mingliang, who has just entered the NBA, is his best negotiating partner.

"The Utah Jazz have offered Carlos a five-year, $80 million contract. In our opinion, this is almost the value of Carlos to the team." True or false news, set out his own conditions, "Carlos can do more in the Nets."

"Of course, Carlos is the top name in the reinforcement plan proposed by Coach Stevens for the team. I also look forward to the inside combination of Carlos and Brook becoming a force that cannot be underestimated in the league." Jiang Mingliang followed Pelinka's words and promoted Boozer, which made Boozer even more proud.

"In my opinion, when I partner with Brook, there will be a chemical reaction of 1+1 greater than 2, especially on the offensive end." Boozer himself said.

The Jazz is famous for its pick-and-roll tactics with Deron, but in fact, the strength of the Jazz has declined somewhat in the past two years, especially on the offensive end, and Boozer has also shown a very comprehensive skill.

"The contract we offered for Carlos is 64 million for four years, with a team option for the last year, but there will be a guarantee clause of 4 million in it. At the same time, the contract also includes a 15% transaction deposit." Wilke Ray Pelinka's face was a little disappointed when he was halfway through Ge's words, but when it came to the final part of the transaction margin, the situation was quite different.

Regarding the part of the transaction margin, the extreme explanation is that if the Nets trade him immediately after signing Boozer, then Boozer can not only get all the salary in the next home, but also take 960 from the Nets. The fee of 10,000 US dollars, this clause, is a protection for the stability of the player's career. Players are human too, no one wants to be used as a bargaining chip every day in exchange.

"This contract is much worse than the Jazz's offer." Pelinka said bluntly.

The average annual salary is basically the same, but the contract period is one year different, and the total contract amount is also quite different. Considering the age issue, this is the last big contract of Boozer's career. There is a high probability that he will still choose the contract with the largest total amount.

It's just that the Jazz really offered such a superior contract to Boozer? Jiang Mingliang didn't quite believe it.

In addition to the name Yao Ming's nemesis, Boozer has another adjective that is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the Jazz offered him a maximum salary, he wouldn't leave.

"We need to think carefully about this contract." Jiang Mingliang and Stevens did not respond directly. Pelinka can only put away his tricks and discuss with Boozer again.

"That's natural. We can talk about the specific details."

Pelinka's reaction explained some problems, Jiang Mingliang had a bottom line in his mind and felt more at ease.

Back at the team, Jiang Mingliang immediately issued instructions to Will Craig: "On the basis of ensuring that the 3+1 contract period remains unchanged, other aspects can make slight concessions to Pelinka. At the same time, the team and several other players The engagement and pursuit of the target mission needs to be accelerated."

In the previous life, after Rose refused to recruit James and the establishment of the Big Three in Miami, the Bulls with a lot of salary space offered Boozer a big five-year contract regardless. However, the relationship between Rose, Noah and Boozer Incompatibility makes Boozer's big contract the biggest shackle that restricts the Bulls from going further. For Jiang Mingliang, the most important thing is to kill the contract before the Bulls intervene.

After the free agent market opened. The reporters are like sharks smelling blood, frantically looking for gossip about these stars from various channels, hoping to know some inside information in advance.

On July 6, the first superstar signing agreement was reached. Yahoo Sports broke the news that All-Star power forward Amare Stoudemire signed a 5-year 100 million maximum salary contract with the New York Knicks and officially left the Suns. At the same time, it also announced the official end of the Suns era.

The news of Stoudemire's signing seemed to open the Pandora's box. One day later, ESPN had an important news. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, two of the most popular free agents this summer, officially joined hands Announced that they will play together in Miami in the next new season.

The combination of the league's second shooting guard and the all-star power forward made people faintly see the rise of a powerful player, and the two pieces of fat in the free market instantly became the owner, and the team that failed to bid began to look down. Players, including Carlos Boozer, became popular instantly.

20 million in 4 years, Kyle Korver joined the New Jersey Nets!

Compared with the much-anticipated "Where is James going", compared with the combination of Wade and Bosh, the Nets' signing seems insignificant. Wall directly offered a 4-year full guarantee clause, which shows that he attaches great importance to Kyle Korver.

The sharpshooters of the 03 generation whose career length is second only to James will become more and more precious in the development of the three-pointer as a weapon that will be valued more and more in the future. Jiang Mingliang felt that this signing was very profitable.

For Korver, the reason for choosing the Nets is not only the biggest contract, but another reason is a promise made to him by Stevens.

In the next four years, Korver will become an extremely important player in his tactical system, whether he is a starter or a substitute.
