128 [A Weekly Appointment]
An hour later, the second team to meet with Jiang Hao was the San Antonio Spurs. This was specially arranged by Jiang Hao. He gave the Spurs enough respect, because no matter what, the Spurs were his first home after entering the NBA.
.
The Spurs delegation was led by general manager Buford, and surprisingly, Tim Duncan was also one of them.
"Jiang, the San Antonio Spurs are a team you know well. So, I don’t need to say more about the specific feelings. We can directly make an offer to you, that is, we will give you a four-year contract worth 84 million US dollars."
, you know, this is our limit.”
Buford must admit that he may be the most difficult general manager in the league.
"Mr. Buford, I have to remind you that San Antonio is just a small city, and Jiang is destined to become a super giant or even the face of the league. If he stays with the Spurs, then 84 million in four years, don't you think?
Is it cabbage price?"
Rich Paul spoke, this is what he must do as an agent, because unlike the Los Angeles Lakers, when playing with the San Antonio Spurs, superstars often can only rely on salary, and there is really no way to talk about off-court income.
As Jiang Hao's agent, he feels that this situation is not allowed to happen. This is also the reason why he has not wanted Jiang Hao to stay in the Spurs. It is not that he hates the Spurs team, but that being in the Spurs means that
As Jiang Hao's income shrinks, his income will also shrink.
The most important thing is that this will make many players doubt Rich Paul's ability to fight for the interests of his players. This is undoubtedly a very bad situation.
"Before discussing salary, I want to know the team's expected lineup for next season. We all know that Manu has retired, and both Tony and Rudy's contracts have expired."
Jiang Hao spoke immediately.
"We decided to keep you, which means that Rudy Gay, Kyle Anderson, and Bertans all need to leave. As for Tony, I'm afraid he has to leave too. Of course, Tony's departure does not mean that the salary cannot be negotiated.
, but he hopes to get more playing time."
Chief assistant Messina responded to Jiang Hao’s question.
Frankly speaking, Jiang Hao was not in a very good mood after hearing Messina's answer.
"What about Kawhi? At this point, we don't have to hide it at night. Are you sure you can eliminate the conflict with Kawhi? It's hard for me to imagine that the Spurs without Kawhi will be able to defend their title next season.
"
This is what Jiang Hao is saying, and it is also one of the reasons why he hopes for the Spurs, because although he won the fv in the just-concluded finals, he is sure that Kawhi Leonard is really strong.
"We are indeed at a deadlock with Kawhi, but Jiang, I will have one-on-one communication with Kawhi, and I think Kawhi will listen to my suggestions."
Jiang Hao likes Tim Duncan's confident tone very much, but as time waits for no one, he doesn't want to listen to anyone's verbal guarantees. He wants to see concrete actions.
"One week, at most one week, I will announce my final decision on the 7th, so you must give me a clear answer to Kawhi's question before the 7th."
Jiang Hao did not mention Gregg Popovich's retirement, nor did he ask Buford about the Spurs' head coach for the new season, because he knew very well that it would not make much sense for him to ask now.
Jiang Hao did not directly refuse to stay, which was already very good news for Buford and others.
Therefore, after leaving the hotel, Buford and the others immediately rushed to Los Angeles, where they were going to have a formal dialogue with Kawhi Leonard's team.
As for Jiang Hao, after seeing off the Spurs delegation, they ushered in the last team they met today, the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers delegation is led by logo man West, in addition to head coach Doc Rivers and team operations director Patrick.
For Jiang Hao, he will never forget the Los Angeles Clippers, although he has never played in this team and has not accumulated any grudges with this team in the playoffs.
But the opponent he played in his first game in this league was the Los Angeles Clippers.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Los Angeles Clippers were his springboard.
"Mr. Shinkefv, you are the best rising star in this league. In my opinion, you will officially become the number one player in the league in the near future, and the Los Angeles Clippers will provide you with all conditions."
"In addition to that, we are actually very optimistic about the combination of you and Kawhi Leonard. I don't want to hide it. At the same time, we are in contact with Kawhi Leonard's team. Our plan is to hope that you and Kawhi Leonard
Continue to join forces”
The opening remarks of Mr. West, the logo man, made Jiang Hao confused.
Let Kawhi Leonard and himself reunite with the Los Angeles Clippers. How much courage and ambition does it take to make such a decision?
And he must admit that at this moment he was a little excited, because the Clippers' current lineup is basically balanced. Even if it costs some money to let Kawhi Leonard join, as long as he and Leonard
It's not a big deal if Germany can get together in the fast lane. The Clippers will become the league's top team next season.
Of course, the biggest question now is, even if the Spurs can't keep Leonard, will they make a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers?
In addition, the Clippers want to become a powerful player in the league in the new season. Are they fully prepared?
Everyone knows that there is only one king in Los Angeles, and that is the Los Angeles Lakers. Under this situation, even if he and Leonard get together in the Clippers, life may not be easy.
"The Los Angeles Lakers have been in a trough for a long time. In the post-Kobe era, the Lakers management has made a series of stupid decisions. I'm sure they will still be in this situation in the next few years, and this happens to be
We have a chance to rise, right? With the popularity of you and Kawhi Leonard, the Los Angeles Clippers have a chance to become the new king of Los Angeles in the shortest possible time."
Seemingly understanding the meaning of Jiang Hao's words, West explained directly to Jiang Hao.
"On my tactical board, both you and Kawhi will have far more autonomy than you have in the Spurs, and the team will operate entirely around the two of you."
As the head coach of the Clippers, Doc Rivers obviously knows what young players like Jiang Hao want most.
And he once followed Gregg Popovich, so he didn't want to discuss those boring tactics with Jiang Hao.
He only needs to say one thing, and that is "ball rights". He is sure that Jiang Hao will be tempted.
