Chapter 91

"Li, this contract is crazy. Sorry, we can't promise you!" The president of basketball affairs, Ehrlich, was very serious to Richard.

"How crazy?! I don't see anything crazy! "

"Ben Wallace is worth the price!"

"This contract must be signed!"

Richard is uncompromising. He must strive for the interests of his proud disciples in such matters!

"Li, don't get me wrong. We believe in your vision!"

"Otherwise, it won't be a green light for all three transactions before you!"

"The problem now is that we don't have to waste so much money! Man, that's millions of dollars, not thousands of dollars! "

The team's chief financial officer, Christensen, may have seen Richard get a little angry, so he made a quick round.

But his round play did not play any role, but let Richard completely lose patience!

"Waste?! You are still doubting my eyes! "

"I don't want to see my players get into the all star game in two years, but with a base salary contract!"

"Ben Wallace has to get a decent contract!"

Richard almost shouted at the management of the pioneers.

Olsey and Christensen look at each other, two years later into the all star?! What's going on with all stars?

Ben Wallace will be an all star in two years?!

It's a big joke

But even if they feel funny, they dare not show it. They are very clear that Richard is in a rage, and the devil knows what kind of trouble he will get if he continues to get angry!

"Li, let's think about it..."

"You know this kind of thing, it's really tricky. After all, it's all the money of the boss. Naturally, we need to ask for the opinions of the boss..."

They are the real executives of the team. How can they pretend to be grandchildren in front of Richard

"Three days!"

"I'll give you three days!"

After that, Richard left the office, but his anger did not dissipate.

Richard even considered using his own salary to subsidize Big Ben, but this kind of operation is undoubtedly against the rules. It's a kind of black screen operation. Once it's found out, his career and that of Big Ben will be cool

……

Back in his manager's office, Carlisle saw the angry Richard and asked what happened!

"Li, actually it's not olsey's fault..."

"In the past two years, the boss has been reducing expenses. You can see the salary of our pioneers in the past two years..."

Richard is shocked. How can we cut costs?!

"Isn't Paul a top millionaire?"

Carlisle wryly said: "yes, he is indeed the top rich, but he is more a businessman......"

"The idea of rebuilding the team, actually Paul had it last season..."

After that, Carlisle took a piece of paper and listed the team's salary for the past two years.

The total salary of 93 season is 23.5 million dollars, 94 season is close to 27 million dollars, 95 season is also last season is reduced to 23.2 million dollars!

At first glance, it didn't seem to have changed much, but Richard saw the secret!

93 and 94 seasons, NBA salary cap is only a little more than 15 million dollars, Paul Allen is really dare to spend money, especially 94 season, trailblazer's salary ranked second in the League!

But after signing the new CBA agreement in 1995, the salary cap soared. This is the biggest increase rate in the history of NBA, directly from the original 15 million to 23 million!

But the total salary of pioneers has been reduced!

Carlisle is right. Paul Allen is really cutting back

The biggest reason is the total disappointment of the exploiter's achievements, especially in the 94 season, the exploiter spent the second highest salary in the whole league, but only made a first round tour record

I'm afraid any boss will spit blood!

Not to mention Paul Allen, a businessman with super intelligence, who pursues profits, which is a business that obviously loses money. Only a fool is willing to do it

Simply start to cut costs directly last season. This season, Richard was invited to make a big deal and clean up the team's salary space!

On the one hand, Richard's ability really gives Paul Allen recognition. He places his team's future hopes on Richard

On the other hand, Richard's arrival will definitely clean up the key players of the team and start new players!

The biggest advantage of new players is that they are cheap, which is tantamount to continuing to give Paul Allen room to clean up the team's salary!

……

Richard has some egg pains. It seems that Paul Allen's IQ of 170 is not a jokeIf Carlisle had not reminded him today, Richard would not have noticed the doorway.

Since the boss is going to cut down on expenses, there are some things that need to be taken care of

Richard thought Paul Allen was good money. When all the rookies' contracts expire, they can renew all their contracts. Now it seems that it's a bit difficult And

unless Richard can produce amazing benefits for the pioneers in this period of time.

……

Three days later, Big Ben appeared in Richard's office!

"Coach, olsey, they came to me yesterday and said Paul Allen agreed to a three-year, $3 million contract!" Big Ben is full of surprises

Richard also took a long breath of relief. He was worried that Paul Allen would not be willing to give a big contract when he cut down on expenses.

"Well, did you sign the contract yesterday?"

"No..." Big Ben said with a smile.

"No? Then sign it today, and I'll be relieved if I sign it... " Richard relaxed, after Big Ben's contract was completed, the preparations for the new season were almost completed, and the training could be officially started!

"Coach, I refused the contract..." Big Ben scratched his head and smiled

Richard almost didn't have a gush of old blood, refused?!

I almost lifted the table to win the contract for you, but your boy refused

"Coach, don't worry, listen to me..."

"Well, actually, I wanted to enter the league as a second round show at the beginning, because the second round show didn't need to sign a standard rookie contract, so it's OK to sign a one-year guarantee contract directly..."

"You think, I haven't been able to earn my money in a year under your hands?!"

"I'm older than Iverson and they're all older, so I have to find a way to get a big salary earlier..."

"Haha, I may be the first one to get a high salary in our Xilafaye Gang!"

Richard is stupid. This is a big book?! Is this melon seed for God? What a chicken thief!

I ignored this problem, just want to get a decent contract for Big Ben, but I didn't notice that Big Ben doesn't need it at all!

In this era, there are many loopholes in the pay agreement. Most of the agreements on player pay were negotiated in the pay negotiation in 1999.

Big Ben's idea just made Richard astonished!

After playing in Richard's hands this season, even if Big Ben can't play the all star value, but when the time comes, the Blazers want to renew Big Ben with a million annual salary, it's totally impossible!

Retreat for progress!

First bitter, then sweet!

You can only sit on Land Rover if you eat bitter melon!

Big Ben is a talent
