Chapter 68

After taking 50000 dollars in cash from the bank, Richard went straight to the gold jewelry store!

Richard is going to make four "gold medals" for the four students who are going to take part in the draft!

The so-called gold medal is actually a big gold chain hanging around hip-hop singer's neck with a round or square or strange metal brand

Richard didn't know what to call this thing. When he arrived at the gold jewelry store, he made a comparison before the owner understood Richard's meaning.

Big gold chain with thick thumb

With a half-a-half-slap-a-hoop gold medal, the front is engraved with silafaye, and the back is engraved with fearless!

According to the boss, the finished product must weigh at least 30 ounces!

30 oz!

It's about to weigh two Jin

Richard didn't care about the exaggerated weight at all. In fact, the price of gold in this era is extremely cheap. An ounce of gold only costs 350 dollars

In this way, a gold medal that weighs nearly two kilograms is only more than ten thousand dollars!

He paid a deposit of ten thousand dollars, agreed to pick up the goods one week later, and Richard left satisfied

……

Richard's natural aim is to enhance the cohesion of the players of Purdue University. Feelings and friendships must be cultivated. If they don't contact each other for a long time, no matter how deep they are, they may end up flat

But with this gold medal, it's totally different

Such a huge gold medal is eye-catching. As long as you see it, you will immediately remember your identity as a boiler worker. You can immediately recall the time when we fought together!

Let them always remember that they are part of the West Lafayette Gang!

……

Richard, who returned home, was full of joy, but the next phone call made his face full of gloom!

Big Ben got hurt during the joint trial

Very strange injury, there is no fierce confrontation, Big Ben fell when he was fighting for rebounds, covering his ankle and falling to the ground!

The news is that Iverson called to tell Richard that there must be no mistake!

This news undoubtedly made Richard worried about Big Ben's situation

Originally Big Ben's draft prospects are not good. The draft forecast at the end of the first round, coupled with the weird injury this time, the draft prospects are certainly not optimistic!

"Damn it! Won't you lose Richard has some heartache in his heart

He didn't even think about it. He called and found Big Ben. Now he's worried that Big Ben will be hit. Joint training is not for fun. It's about whether rookies can get the chance of trial training for each team in the future!

"Hello, Ben, how are things?" Richard asked anxiously.

"Coach, it's nothing. It's just a minor injury. It's no big deal!" Big Ben's tone is free and easy

"By the way, coach, if I am not selected in the first round this time, you have to use the second round draft right of the trailblazers to choose me to leave..."

"Haha......"

Richard is stunned, haha?! How do you feel like something's wrong!

Big Ben is really hurt?!

"Ben, it's not a time for joking. Don't make so much fuss for me!"

"I'll give you a good trial if you want to do it. I can tell you what you mean!"

In the blink of an eye, Richard figured out what big Ben was up to

Hearing Richard's words, Big Ben pondered for a while and finally spoke slowly.

"Coach, in fact, this idea came into being when I knew that you would enter the NBA to coach..."

"I feel that in this world, only you know me and know me! Of course, I mean basketball... "

"Think about it. If I was chosen by other coaches, because of the low ranking of the draft, people would not give me too many opportunities to play? Maybe for a few years, I can still get ahead, but I wasted several years of my golden career! "

"So, I'd rather lose and continue playing under you as a free agent than risk wasting years!"

"Because I know that when I play under you, I'm sure I can come out and grow into an all-star player quickly!"

"Coach, you don't have to worry about the draft. Trust me..."

Big Ben's sincere words make Richard's nose and hair sour, which is Big Ben's unconditional absolute trust in Richard!

Think about it carefully. In fact, Big Ben may not be unreasonable!

"But..." Richard also wants to warn Big Ben that he must be careful about this, but he can't do anything wrong!

"Coach, by the way, you don't have to worry about the order. Seriously, I don't care about the order. Even if I fail, I would like to join your team!"

"I know that the trailblazers have a draft right of 17 in their hands. Coach, don't use this draft right on me. You must promise me about it!""I have other plans!"

Big Ben obviously has been thinking about it for a long time, even considering what kind of order the pioneers hold in their hands!

After saying this, Big Ben hung up the phone in a hurry and didn't give Richard a chance to talk again. Maybe he was afraid to keep talking. Richard would force him to change his mind

Richard frowned and began to think about the operability of Big Ben's operation

In fact, Richard really didn't want to engage in this kind of operation in a big way. It was too risky!

If Big Ben evades the trial because of fraud, it's almost certain that his draft ranking will fall to the second round!

And the second round draft right of the Blazers is also 17th. If there is a team that doesn't believe in evil before that, it must take big money?!

No doubt that Big Ben lost his wife and his soldiers!

But if this operation is really successful, it's really good for Big Ben!

The biggest advantage is to play under Richard. He can get enough playing time and performance opportunities. It may not take too long for him to join the ranks of NBA stars!

The second is the amount of the first contract!

In the first two years, because the big dog was selected by the Bucks, it threatened the bucks to give a big contract of $100 million for ten years. Otherwise, it would not sign a contract. Finally, the product got the unique rookie contract of $68 million for ten years in NBA history!

If you don't mention this contract first, whether big dog is suffering from losses or making money, anyway, at that time, it was a super contract that all the new people were very excited about!

Because of the coquette operation of big dog, when negotiating the new salary agreement in 1995, i.e. CBA agreement, the rules of rookie contract were directly issued, which completely stipulated the quota and age of rookie contract, so as to prevent such a wonderful work as big dog from appearing again

For example, Big Ben's first year salary in the NBA is only 600000 dollars, based on the highest 24 ranking of his draft market!

This is the CBA agreement limit is dead, no one can change, even if the team no longer stupid money, also can not give more!

Next, the more Sao operation comes

The rookie contract stipulated in the CBA agreement refers to the first round, excluding the second round and the draft

What does that mean?

It means that the second round draft and the draft can take any amount of contract, not limited by the CBA agreement!

Take big Ben as an example. If Big Ben enters the league in a round show, he can get a contract with an annual salary of more than 20 million as long as the team is willing!

That's right. That's how it works

At present, the NBA salary cap is 23 million dollars, and there is no top salary, because the top salary is the rule of the CBA agreement in 1999

So as long as the team is willing, as long as people have more money, they can give big Ben a contract with an annual salary of 23 million!

……

If Richard really gets the big book in the next round, he can't exaggerate to give the big book more than 20 million yuan of annual salary unless he is really crazy

But even if you can't give 20 million, the annual salary you can give is far higher than 600000 of the 24 rookies!
