On the phone, Morey said to Wang Fei, "Wang, come and have a chat, OK? I have something important to discuss with you."
Wang Fei thought, what does Morey want to talk to himself?
What kind of medicine does he sell in his gourd?
"Yes! I'll be there later." Wang Fei promised to come down.
Eliza drove Wang Fei to the rocket base.
Wang Fei came to Morey's office and knocked on the door.
"Aha! Wang, you're here at last. Please sit down!" Morey enthusiastically let Wang Fei sit down on the sofa.
He asked Wang Fei what he wanted to drink?
Wang Fei told him that a glass of pure water would do.
Morey poured a cup of pure water for Wang Fei and brought it to Wang Fei. Then he sat down.
"Wang, in view of your good performance, the club hopes to reach an extension with you as soon as possible. Do you think so?" Morey said straight to the point.
Want to renew your contract in advance?
What does that mean?
I made it clear to Dilman.
At the end of the season, after helping the Rockets win the championship, I left the Rockets.
Why do you want to renew my contract in advance?
Is this another slap for a sugar bean?
Wang Fei smiled and said, "Daryl, it's still early. I don't think it's so urgent to renew the contract."
"Wang, that's right. Mr. Dilman has told me what you think. He also agrees that you can help the team win the championship and leave. It's not a problem. However, if you want to trade, I'm afraid there will be a problem of equal contract value. Otherwise, you can't trade, and Huojian can't get a better offer. Therefore, we hope to reach an extension with you as soon as possible. That's also true For the sake of future transactions, "Morey said.
Wang Fei shrugged and asked, "so, what kind of contract are you going to give me?"
"Well, in view of your performance and ability, we want to offer you a big contract of 120 million over three years. Do you think it's ok?" Morey said.
Wang Fei blinked.
The other party is really sincere.
This is the biggest contract the Rockets can offer.
A contract with Chris Paul.
However, Paul's contract is 160 million over four years.
Wang Fei pondered for a moment. He was wondering whether he would accept the offer.
120 million in three years, which is really a big contract. Only a few people in the NBA can get such a big contract.
But do you really want to complete the rocket?
No need!
I'm still in the NBA for a short time. If I play for another two years and strive to win the championship continuously, can I pursue the top salary exception like Jordan?
It doesn't seem like a good thing to lock up your future salary space too early now?
Jordan can get an annual salary of more than 30 million in 1998. Why can't he strive for an annual salary of more than 100 million at this time?
It's not about money.
Wang Fei feels that this is reflecting his own value.
Someone once said that Jordan can win the championship with five old ladies. Of course, this is to describe Jordan's strength.
But I'm no worse than Jordan.
In terms of personal contribution to the team, Wang Fei is much better than Jordan.
Thinking so, Wang Fei shook his head, smiled and said, "Daryl, I'm sorry, I can't sign this contract."
Morey was stunned.
"Why? It's the highest annual salary you can get right now, Wang. It's also the biggest contract a top player can get. You know, even LeBron, his contract with the Lakers is only $153 million," Morey said.
Morey didn't expect that Wang Fei would refuse.
He couldn't figure out why Wang Fei refused the contract?
This Chinese boy, he is just a rookie in his first year. After only one season in the NBA, how many people dream of getting such a big contract!
"Daryl, who do you think is better than LeBron?" Wang Fei took a deep look at Morey and said.
"Oh! Now you are stronger than LeBron, of course, needless to say," Morey said.
"Even compared with LeBron at his peak, am I worse than him?" Wang Fei said with a smile.
"Well, to be fair, you are much better than LeBron at the peak. You can crush LeBron at the peak in all the data," Morey said.
"Isn't that enough? So I don't think I'll get only 120 million contracts in three years. Maybe I can pursue a bigger contract," Wang Fei said.
"But, Wang, have you ever thought that maybe you will be plagued by injuries in the next three years and your state will decline significantly. Maybe if you refuse this contract, you will not have the opportunity to sign such a big contract in the future," Morey said.
If Wang Fei refuses to sign the contract, the Rockets will get a much worse return in the future.
So Murray was a little worried.
Wang Fei smiled and said, "what you said is only possible! However, I have strong confidence that my peak state is not so short. Maybe I will have more room for growth in the future! Michael Jordan could get an annual salary of $30.3 million more than 20 years ago. I am no worse than him, and I should be able to get a super big contract like him." Wang Fei said.
Wang Feisi made no secret of her ambition.
He thought, my goal is not to be Jordan's successor, I want to surpass Jordan and become the real first person in the NBA!
Morey is a little silly.
Because it seems that Wang Fei really doesn't intend to renew his contract now.
Wang, after so many years of NBA development, there has only been one Jordan.
"The physique of your Chinese people is much worse than that of black people, isn't it? There is a common saying that it's safe to fall into the bag! When you have the chance to get a top salary of 120 million in three years, I suggest you'd better accept it first. I'm for your good, Wang, you'd better not be capricious." Morey said.
"No! I don't call it willfulness, I call it confidence!" said Wang Fei.
"I won't sign the contract in advance," Wang Fei said.
"However, if you don't sign this contract, I'm afraid your transaction will be greatly affected. When we can't get a better return, maybe we will refuse to trade. You can't go to the team you want to go to!" Morey said.
"So that's the main reason why I signed a restriction agreement with Mr. fieldita.
I helped the Rockets win a championship, and then you let me go.
Don't try to scrape more oil from me.
A championship is really enough.
"But feldita wants you to sign this agreement. Wang, you can give the Rockets one last hand, okay?" Morey said.
"No, I will never sacrifice my own interests." Wang Fei shook his head firmly.
"Well, I'm afraid I'll have to discuss it with Mr. fieldita again," said Morey disappointed.
"Wang, you sit in my office for a while and I'll ask the boss," said Morey.
"Please help yourself." Wang Fei smiled.
Morey left his office. He went straight to Dilman's office.
At the moment, Dilman is sitting in the office waiting for Morey's news.
For Dilman, if he can't keep Wang Fei, his only consideration is to exchange for the largest trading chip.
Morey knocked on the door.
Dilman got up from his chair behind the table and welcomed him out.
"What? Did Wang Fei promise to sign the contract?
Morey smiled bitterly and said, "boss, unfortunately, that boy thinks he can compare with Jordan. He doesn't want to sign the agreement so early. He wants to see it again."
Dilman was also surprised.
Who is this!
He didn't want a big contract of 120 million in three years?
This is really incredible.
"He turned down such a big contract. Did he make his own request?" Dilman asked.
"I'm sorry, he didn't. He just said that he didn't want to sign in advance for the time being. He hopes he can see it again and wait until his current contract is almost over, and then impact a bigger contract. The boy seems very confident." Morey said with a bitter smile.
"That's a little bad," Dilman frowned.
"Yes, it's really a little terrible. Boss, what's next?" Molly asked.
Dilman shook his head. "Can we offer him a bigger contract?" Dilman asked.
"I'm afraid not. This is the biggest contract we can open," Morey said.
Morey thought for a moment and said, "boss, maybe we can open an 80 million two-year contract with him. There are player options in these two-year contracts. Wang Fei can jump out of this contract by himself. What do you think?"
Dilman's eyes brightened: "this operation doesn't feel bad. This contract is only symbolic and has no binding significance for Wang Fei. He can still chase a bigger contract in three years. I think so."
"I'll go and talk to him again. In short, our intention is very simple. We want to exchange Wang Fei for suitable and better chips. As long as we can achieve this goal, we will succeed," said Morey.
Morey left Dilman's office.
He went back to his office.
Wang Fei is looking at his cell phone there.
Morey sat down, while Wang Fei put away his mobile phone.
"Wang, otherwise, can we operate like this..." Morey said his idea to Wang Fei again.
Wang Fei blinked.
That seems OK.
If you sign a contract like this, you will have strong career flexibility.
"If I really sign the contract like this, then I am willing to sign the contract with the Rockets in advance," Wang Fei said.
"Great, thank you for supporting my work, Wang." Morey said with a smile.
In this way, Wang Fei and the Rockets renewed their contract two years in advance.
After the contract was signed, it caused a sensation in the whole United States.
Many NBA experts are analyzing the contract signed by Wang Fei.
Because this contract is really weird and abnormal.
Because if the Rockets want to lock Wang Fei in advance, it is impossible to sign such a short contract. The service life should be much longer.
Also, the Rockets really don't need to be in such a hurry to renew Wang Fei's contract in advance. There are more than three years of contract. Isn't it enough to play for another two years and then talk about renewal in one year?
Why sign a new contract three years in advance?
How do you see it? It's weird.
Therefore, ESPN's NBA expert Wo Shen broke a shocking news: Wang Fei decided to break up with the Rockets after the end of the season! The purpose of signing the contract in advance is only to get greater trading chips when trading in the future.
The news made the whole NBA restless.
