After hiring several buses for the Championship Parade, all the players walked around the city of Oakland on the roof of the bus, around the pre-planned streets, and then went to the city square to receive the Warriors' season commendation in the open air.

Every player will have a commendation to thank each player for their dedication over the past year.

And stars like Yang Di and Ray Allen are the focus of attention of the audience, and the camera has never moved away from the faces of the two of them.

Like Byron Davis, who was similarly recognized.

Byron Davis lay down injured for a season, and finally followed the Warriors to win the championship, although this result was not what he wanted, but on the surface he still showed an excited look.

Byron Davis also took the stage to speak, "Thanks to my teammates for their hard work, I'm probably the easiest player in history to win a championship. ”

The crowd laughed.

Byron continued: "We've been through a lot this season, we've had injuries, we've had ups and downs, but we persevered to the end and we beat a lot of big opponents to win our fifth championship in our history, and I'm so proud of my teammates, Jandy, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler...... We work with each other and encourage each other, and I'm confident that we'll win more championships in the future and move towards the goals of the dynasty team." ”

Byron's implication is that his return next season can be the icing on the cake, and the Warriors will return to the strongest roster and strive for a three-game winning streak.

Yang Di, Ray Allen and others on the field applauded and chuckled, and the commendation meeting of the parade was a bit like an exchange meeting, where everyone came to the stage to speak, interact with teammates, and interact with the fans on the spot.

After the championship parade, Yang Di walked into the general manager's office with Bill Duffy and Chris Mullin.

"The specific renewal will not be officially carried out until July 1, after the transfer market opens, but generally this kind of early renewal is also possible if we sign it first." Chris Mullin said with a smile, "It's just that if it takes effect, it will take effect on July 1." ”

"Isn't there a draft meeting on June 28th, and there will be a lot of trades at the draft conference." Yang Di said with a smile.

"yes, so that's really a verbal agreement, but a verbal agreement is also a form of contract," Bill Duffy explains.

"Come on." Mullin pulled out the contract that had been prepared in the office for a long time, "According to your requirements, this contract is a two-year contract, and the contract amount is two years and $35 million." ”

"Yang Di, you are good enough, it has always been players who ask for a long-term contract, but I didn't expect you to be the other way around and ask for a short-term contract."

"According to the rules of the league, a seven-year veteran can increase his salary at a rate of 30 percent per year, while a player who has less than seven years can only increase his salary by 25 percent, which is also what LeBron reminded me, he and Dwyane and Chris Bosh are all signed to 10 years, and they will all be court veterans on 7-year contracts."

"The transfer market is going to be very buzzing in 10 years." Bill Duffy has foreseen what will happen three years later.

"It's not all 10 years, like Carmelo Anthony, he signed a five-year or four-year contract, at least in 2011 to become a free agent, which is different from our rhythm."

"Will we have a move in the draft, Chris." Yang Di suddenly asked about the draft meeting, and he wanted to know about the next dynamics of the Warriors' uniform group.

Chris Mullin spread his hands, "Who knows?" The NBA is a business, but one of the most basic principles we maintain is to try to keep our current championship roster, except for the players who have left the team normally, we need to replenish, and the rest of the players who have been playing for the year will remain the same as possible. ”

"Is there a request for a trade right now?"

"It's a lot, but we're going to think about it carefully, and in the draft, we didn't have any very good draft picks this year." Chris Mullindao.

Yang Di nodded, he didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of the team management, he picked up the pen and signed a new contract, which was effective from the 08-09 season until the end of the summer of 10.

……

The news of Yang Di's contract renewal with the warriors was exposed by some well-known Shinto reporters within two days.

knew that Yang Di would definitely renew his contract with the Warriors, but he didn't expect Yang Di to only renew his contract for 2 years, and some fans immediately said that Yang Di was insatiable.

Yang Di just said that this is the best way to renew the contract after his team's research.

The Warriors also officially expressed their willingness to renew Yang Di's short-term contract, and for Yang Di, the past two years have also been a spur and encouragement, and there is no regression after taking a big contract.

Before the draft, Yang Di received Nike's regional manager at his home.

After negotiations, a 3-year contract was signed, which also expires in 10 years, and the details of the contract are not much different from the exclusive sneaker-level contract signed now.

"$54 million for 3 years."

There is no round number, which is about $2 million lower than the average of the previous 7-year long contract, but it is still the top sneaker contract sponsorship fee in the NBA, James signed a 7-year $93 million contract with Nike in his rookie year, and the average is more than 13 million a year, Yang Di is now worth more, and the contract price is naturally much higher than James.

The sneaker contract is set, and some endorsements for big brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Gatorade, and Oreo are also about to expire this summer.

These endorsement contracts have not risen as much as sneakers, but there has also been a qualitative leap, ranging from the original 50 or 800,000 US dollars a year to the current 2 million, 3 million US dollars a year.

Salaries also have to pay state taxes, federal taxes, broker commissions, affiliate escrow funds, etc., and only $10.2 million of the $17 million is in hand, almost 40 percent of the money is handed over.

The U.S. has an athletes' tax specifically for the four major leagues, which began more than a decade ago, and athletes are complaining about it.

When the salary was low before, Yang Di didn't feel it, but now that the salary is high, it really hurts a little bit, but this income is still far higher than the money he earned when he first came to the United States.
