Chapter 483 Tigress(1/2)
No one knows what DeRozan and the Raptors have gone through.
Colangelo trembled his hands and gave DeRozan a four-year, 60 million contract extension.
On the same day, DeRozan completed a contract renewal with the team.
A day later, Li Xing also signed a four-year, 72 million contract extension with the Raptors.
In the eyes of the outside world, these two contract renewals cost too much and one transaction is too little.
Li Xing could have waited until summer to ask other teams to offer the offer, but in the end he accepted this contract extension that looked very big but was not in line with his value.
As for DeRozan, many people think that even 40 million in four years is not worth it.
The prejudice against DeRozan by the outside world is incomprehensible.
"Does anyone really think a deductible player can average 19 points per game?"
Li Xing suddenly felt that the group of ball blinds on the Internet was too terrible. DeRozan just used the team's defensive system to easily score.
These people acted like they paid DeRozan's salary.
After the two contract renewals were finalized, the Raptors' salary expanded.
Next, they will pay a large amount of luxury tax for the skyrocketing salary space during the offseason.
Someone who is interested calculated and came up with a surprising answer.
Even if the Raptors paid a large amount of luxury tax, the Raptors still did not lose money.
It just happened to be a balance between income and output.
No matter what, the contract renewal was settled, and the team that coveted Li Xing also gave up.
Li Xing is Michael Jordan of this era. If he has the chance to get him, other teams will spend money desperately.
This opportunity has only been released for a few days, and the Raptors put out the flames with lightning speed.
Colangelo did not regret signing Li Xing, and what annoyed him was that he spent more money to renew his contract with DeRozan.
In his plan, giving DeRozan 10 million is due to his hard work and contributions over the past few years.
Everyone, including the management, thinks that he can only perform like this by Li Xing.
Average of 10 points comes from counterattacks, and Li Xing is the best defender in the league. He has to defend his opponents from many attacks in every game. DeRozan just seized these opportunities.
Who is the chance to counterattack quickly? DeRozan is not the only candidate.
If DeRozan doesn't let go, Colangelo dares to put him on the market and let other teams offer quotes.
No team is willing to give him a high salary.
But when the plan was about to be completed, Li Xing made a splash recently and made a statement that would turbulent the morale of the army, which made the boss call him overnight to scold him.
Colangelo had to start negotiations in advance, and he issued a generous contract.
Not only 72 million in four years, but also many reward terms. It is easy for Li Xing to activate these terms, and he can get a bonus every game.
But Li Xing refused.
If you say "to consider" it means you are dissatisfied with the contract.
Colangelo did not expect Li Xing to refuse. Just as he was planning a new contract, he heard Li Xing's evaluation of the contract they gave DeRozan.
He finally knew where the spearhead came from.
Li Xing had no objection to the contract, he just had objections to the way they treated DeRozan, and he was venting his anger for DeRozan.
This bastard!
Colangelo never dreamed that he would be subject to the player one day.
Drafts, trading, and almost all aspects of the team have to be recognized by him, making it seem like he is the general manager of the team and he is just an assistant.
As the general manager, he doesn't even have the right to sign a contract for players.
Colangelo was very frustrated.
The selection of Li Xing in 2009 was the best operation in his career. This operation directly changed the fate of the Raptors, and he will also become the hall-level general manager.
However, he was not happy.
Li Xing brought glory to the team and made everyone feel relaxed except him.
Having a player like Li Xing under his command is simply awful for Colangelo. He cannot build the team according to his direct ideas.
After choosing a good player, everyone knows that Li Xing has a good vision.
After making a good deal, it will be thanks to Li Xing in the end.
The team's market value has increased significantly, advertising, endorsement, and investment have been made one after another, and they are all aimed at Li Xing.
Suddenly, the management only existed to help Li Xing run errands and do short-term work. The specific decisions were made through this newcomer who had played for less than four years in the NBA.
No one with ideals and ambitions will accept it.
Colangelo has thought about resigning more than once, but once he quits, can he find such a good team?
Pressure, pain, hatred of Li Xing... all kinds of factors surrounded Colangelo, and he became increasingly obsessed with the trumpet.
Today, he drove a small trumpet to reply in DeRozan's post about renewal: "Rachie Lee, the bitch you should be a good player. DeRozan is not worth so much money at all, you idiot!"
Then he replied to Li Xing’s post to renew his contract: “You bastard will be wiped out by God sooner or later, go to die!”
After replying to these two sentences, Colangelo was in a much better mood.
Then, his cell phone rang.
The boss called.
"gentlemen..."
As soon as he picked up the phone, the boss's roar almost pierced his eardrum.
The boss is also dissatisfied with the renewal of DeRozan with such a large contract. It seems that there is only 5 million more, and this 5 million, plus Li Xing's contract, will bring him a huge burden.
Originally, the team could have achieved the best advertising effect in the world every year and had a considerable income.
Once this contract is signed, they will have to pay a large amount of luxury tax to the league in the next few years.
The boss's scolding Colangelo's ears buzzed.
Every time the boss scolded, Colangelo's hatred for Li Xing deepened.
It was all brought by this bastard!
It's all your fault!
The boss scolded Colangelo for fifteen minutes without repeating it, and finally hung up the phone angrily.
Colangelo grabbed the phone, hoping to break it.
His face turned pale and his hands were filled with terrifying blood. His anger reached its peak.
The saddest thing is that he can do nothing.
Li Xing's momentum will only become stronger and stronger. If you choose between him and Li Xing, the boss will kick him away without hesitation.
Except for Cardinals, Jerry Klaus, Pat Riley and other master-level general managers, few general managers can gain greater weight in the boss's heart than the leading stars.
Not to mention players of Li Xing’s level.
Colangelo was so angry that he had no place to go. He stared at the computer and logged into the trumpet again.
He wants to output crazy online.
At this time, the Raptors, who reached an oral contract renewal agreement with the team and won five consecutive victories in the new season away game, are on their way back to Toronto.
DeRozan is not an idiot. He knows that Li Xing played a role in the renewal process.
"Rachi, I'm going to have a party at home tonight, are you going to come?" asked DeRozan.
Li Xing smiled lightly and said, "It seems that I have no reason to refuse."
"Yes, it's time for those who have signed a new contract to treat you. After Demar's invitation, it's Rachi's turn." Banyani shouted.
DeRozan looked at Snyder: "Coach, are you free at night?"
"You guys play."
Snyder never participated in such activities.
"it's a pity."
Dragic asked, "Will your Satya come?" "The menu for the party tonight was planned by her. Do you think she will come?" DeRozan asked back.
"Yes, have you all developed to this point?" Barnes patted DeRozan's butt, "There is only the last step left. You have to take off your "hat" and complete a soul fusion."
"What's the reason?"
"If you love her, don't "wear a hat."
Barnes's logic is so secretive.
The team bus stopped at the Esbjor Center, and the players got off outside the training hall and headed to the parking lot.
To be continued...
