Chapter 806: Spurs' Contract Issues
Spurs didn't stay at the airport for too long in the end.
After all, their celebrations can't just be held at the airport, can they?
So, after holding a very short press conference at the airport and taking a lot of photos with the fans, the Spurs sent the fans home.
And the Spurs' championship parade is set for tomorrow, this year's title defense parade, the new boss decided to play a big ticket, water, land and air three lines together, in addition to the Spurs' annual reserved project parade boat, last year's new parade car, this year the new owner specially bought two helicopters! And also plans to rent two hot air balloons!
Well, it seems a little inappropriate to say that I bought it, because the new boss has a cooperative relationship with the largest helicopter manufacturer in the United States, and they directly sent two to him.
That's right, two helicopters were sent, and the new owner reserved them for the team (he has his own private jet, so he doesn't need a helicopter), and this celebration is the first time they have served the team!
As soon as the news came out, everyone had nothing else to say except lamenting that Spurs had become a big tyrant after changing owners.
With the three lines of water, land and air, such a big pomp and circumstance is destined to be an unprecedented big scene at that time!
After Qin Yan returned to the apartment, he first called his agent Duffy, he has fewer activities this summer, at least he doesn't need to participate in any competitions for now, except for a shooting task of "The Expendables 3", Qin Yan seems to be quite idle.
Of course, he can't be really idle, in addition to going home to be a good baby, he also has to find time to go back to China, of course, going to South Korea to see his little girlfriend is also a must.
Duffy may have a little more things to do this summer, after all, Qin Yan is now the top name of the young generation, and the MVP Grand Slam in a single season is not something that anyone can do!
Therefore, now Qin Yan's worth is skyrocketing, no, sneaker contracts, endorsement contracts, one after another!
Especially sneakers, as Adi's spokesperson, Adidas's success now makes Adidas very excited, this was the right thing to press the treasure at the beginning, and now what Adi has to do is not to let Qin Yan be poached by others!
That's right, just don't let Qin Yan be poached, especially don't let Nike poach people, if you can't even keep your own top brand, then Adidas really shouldn't compete with Nike.
Adi is ready to renovate Qin Yan's contract again, maybe this time it will be a lifetime contract, needless to say, the total salary is at least calculated in 100 million.
As for the other endorsements, it's good to give them all to Duffy anyway, anyway, the more Qin Yan earns, the more Duffy shares.
For the Spurs, the biggest problem they have to face this summer is the contract problem.
First of all, they have to consider Qin Yan's new contract in advance, although Qin Yan is still a rookie contract, and there are still two years left, but it is very necessary for the team to prepare early, especially Qin Yan, this guy is improving year by year, and now he has won the MVP Grand Slam that many stars can't get in their lifetime, and his value is no longer measurable by the current rookie contract!
And now everyone can see that as long as Qin Yan, Leonard and Whiteside can be retained, then the future of the Spurs is guaranteed! From a functional point of view, these three are simply a new generation of "GDP"!
Of course, Qin Yan still has two years left in his contract, and he signed "3+1" at the beginning, and in the last year, Qin Yan can choose to jump out of the contract in advance and renew the contract in advance, so it is better for Spurs to prepare early.
However, it is too difficult for other teams to poach Qin Yan, not to mention his personal wishes, even if it is compared to financial resources, the Spurs team with a new owner has not lost to other local tyrant teams in the league, and money is not a problem!
Of course, the Spurs have a lot of people who need contract extensions this summer, especially Whiteside and Kawhi Leonard.
Among them, Leonard is a little better, although he is a new FMVP, but after all, he was cultivated from scratch by the Spurs, and he has a high sense of belonging and identity with the Spurs, so he is not worried that Leonard will not renew his contract.
But Whiteside is different, he was fished from the Development League by the Spurs halfway through.
Although it is said that there is Qin Yan, the Bole factor, but after all, the contract given to Whiteside was too small, and now Whiteside's ability is so prominent, the league doesn't know how many people want to take him into the account!
Especially the Heat, who had just been swept in the Finals, the "God Operator" Riley spoke directly to bring Whiteside to Miami to support the Heat's interior line.
Hehe, if Riley knew that Whiteside was supposed to be their person in the first place, I really don't know what the expression on his face would be.
In addition to the Heat, the old Texas neighbor Mavericks also want Whiteside, they have always wanted to find a reliable partner for the Nuo Tianwang, after all, the Nuo Tianwang can still average 20+ per game, so Cuban believes that as long as he finds a strong interior partner for the Nuo Tianwang, the Mavericks also have the possibility of winning the championship again!
Of course, this is Cuban's own idea, in fact, the Mavericks have been in a slump since winning the championship in 11 years, and even if they poach Whiteside, they may not be able to return to the ranks of the strong team.
What's more, in Vicky's future plans, Whiteside is very important, how can he be easily poached?
Later that day the Spurs returned to San Antonio, Vic called his old friend and boss:
'I need to prepare the contract for the players.'
"Feel free to do so, I don't think your players' contracts are too high anyway."
The voice on the other end of the phone is noisy, and I don't know where the boss is wandering.
"If it's Thiem, it won't be too much, and they themselves will take the initiative to cut their salaries, but the team has two young people whose contract extensions this year can't be too low, otherwise they are likely to be poached by others."
Vicky reported very seriously, although he knew that his decision could basically be passed, but as both head coach and general manager, Vicky still felt the need to report to his nominal boss.
"Alas, you are free, anyway, when I bought this team, I said that I am only responsible for the money, and I will leave the rest to you, you can just do it yourself, hang up."
The boss on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good place somewhere, and soon hung up the phone, and the boss didn't care too much about Vicky's report. Or rather, he bought the Spurs so that his friend Vicky could freely use his talents (full of feelings), and as for how much benefit the Spurs could bring him, he didn't think about it.
But think about it, with Qin Yan as a cash cow and the defending champion, the Spurs will not let him lose money no matter how they calculate.
Well, in that case, then tomorrow's parade will be a little more lively, and let everyone know that the current Spurs are not bad for money!
** Vicky called, he had several contracts in front of him, which he had drawn up on the way back.
Indeed, there are a lot of people whose contracts expire this summer, although the Spurs have money now, but after all, there is a salary cap that restricts them, so how to renew the contract without losing the team's combat effectiveness as much as possible, this requires Vicky to use his brain.
For the birth of the Spurs dynasty, ** Vicky this summer, don't expect to be idle......
