How much does it cost to renew Yi Jianlian's contract?

Jiang Mingliang had an approximate number in his mind.

In a business negotiation, if the player is regarded as a commodity, then the actual price of the commodity has the following factors. The first is the quality of the commodity itself, which is reflected in the player's strength when applied here, whether it is Yi Jianlian's previous life. As a reference, let's look at his performance in the past half season. Yi Jianlian's strength is at best only the ninth or tenth player outside the eight-member rotation of an NBA team. In the face of a certain style or the head coach has a special More time will be given if it is intentional, but it is definitely not a conventional weapon. If the Nets want to compete for the championship, then Yi Jianlian's status in the team is even lower.

The second is the influence of the demand relationship. In addition to the cost, the product price is also affected by the market demand. That is, it is affected by the relationship between the supply and demand of commodities. When the market demand of the commodity is greater than the supply, the price should be higher; when the market demand of the commodity is less than the supply, the price should be lower. It is also based on the development of Yi Jianlian in the previous life. The fact is that after Yi Jianlian left the Nets, whether he came to the Wizards or the Mavericks, he completely fell out of the rotation and became an out-and-out drinking fountain player. Yi Jianlian's progress this year, in addition to the clarity of his own positioning, Stevens' use of his strengths and circumvention of weaknesses is also very important. Of course, this is only in terms of competition. Jiang Mingliang attaches great importance to the development of the Chinese market. Yi Jianlian's role in the Nets is irreplaceable. However, this is only an added value. Everyone knows that the Chinese market is big, and neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona. Who signed Wu Lei from Manchester United?

The third point is the influence of competitive factors. Although Yi Jianlian is a substitute this year, he has obtained a lot of opportunities. One of the important reasons is that Boozer's no-show made the Nets power forward weak. Anderson meets Stevens' tactical needs. He can use his shooting ability to pull the opponent's power forward players out of the penalty area. Even on the defensive end, he can top a power forward who is not so outstanding in all aspects. Some of them are not up to the standard, which also gives Yi Jianlian a chance to compete. This summer, Stevens is bound to strengthen at the power forward position. At that time, the situation is unpredictable.

From every angle, the Nets are the most suitable choice for Yi Jianlian. Jiang Mingliang prefers that Yi Jianlian can sign a three-year contract with the team with a total value of between 9 million and 10 million. Of course, if Yi Jianlian has a higher awareness of his own price, Jiang Mingliang is also willing to provide him with a short contract with a slightly higher salary of 1 to 2 years, so that he can jump out and get a big contract in case he hits it.

As a "compatriot", Jiang Mingliang feels that he treats Yi Jianlian well, however, it seems that Yi Jianlian does not think so.

Danny Fagan appeared in Jiang Mingliang's office.

"Mr. Jiang, I am here this time for my client, Yi Jianlian, a player on your team. I just had an in-depth conversation with my client. Excited about the progress, he wants to renew his contract with the team and finalize his future."

"I have also communicated with head coach Stevens about Yi's performance. We have always believed that Yi has made a great contribution to the progress the Nets have made this year. Of course we are willing to extend his contract with him." Jiang Mingliang immediately informed Feigen of the two contracts he could provide to Yi Jianlian.

One option is a fully guaranteed 3-year 9 million contract, and the other is a 1+1 contract with player options, with a total amount of 7 million. Which contract to choose depends on Yi Jianlian's own choice.

Fagan shook his head, showing a weird smile: "Mr. Jiang, this contract is no different from Yi's rookie contract, but it's a bit different from what Yi expected. It seems that the team's management does not approve of Yi's rookie contract. The help provided to the team, or in other words, our two sides have different perceptions. Yi can contribute 6 points and 5 rebounds to the team in 18 minutes per game this year, and he is not yet 24 years old. There is more potential."

Haha, let's not talk about the controversy about changing age. You have finished your rookie contract for four years, and your biggest selling point is your potential. Don't you feel ashamed?

"A four-year contract worth 20 million yuan or a three-year contract of 15 million yuan is a reasonable price for Yi. I think you are someone who can recognize the value of Yi."

Before coming here, Jiang Mingliang had investigated Yi Jianlian, an agent. After careful analysis of his negotiation style, he would understand that Yi Jianlian ended his NBA career early in his previous life.

It is what a qualified broker should do to use various factors, means and skills to strive for the best interests and contracts for their clients, but it is not good to talk about a standard in everything. Danny Fagan is one of those agents who, once seized of favorable factors, will offer their clients a contract that exceeds the market price. If this kind of thing is successful, it will naturally be a lot of money for the player and the agent. Bo Ying, such as the huge contract that Arenas asked for from the Wizards, has become a classic case of Danny Fagan. In turn, many players have misestimated their own strength because of Fagan's sky-high asking price. , and ultimately lost some suitable opportunities.

Danny Fagan has carefully studied Jiang Mingliang's business measures since he took office, and it is not difficult to see how much he attaches great importance to the development of the Chinese market. For this ~www.novelmt.com~ Jiang Mingliang not only used his Chinese skin color to make a personal appearance, but even gave enough Jeremy Lin, the undrafted Chinese-American, has enough chances. Compared with the two Chinese-Americans, Yi Jianlian, who is rooted in Miaohong, is obviously more representative of China, which is where he thinks Jiang Mingliang is seven inches.

Open a middle-class contract for Yi Jianlian, who averages 6+5 per game? Considering that the Nets will still focus on rookie contracts next season, there is this salary space to satisfy Yi Jianlian's appetite. But it's really not that simple.

No one can make a steady profit without losing money in business, and everyone has time to take advantage of it. But no matter what, most of the "thumbs up" will have a reason. Take the NBA as an example, either to compensate the meritorious player's pension contract, or to bet on the potential bet and fail, or to show his ambition to the star, what does Jiang Mingliang give Yi Jianlian's big contract? Taking care of the Chinese to Chengdu, which ignores the atmosphere in the team, and not considering Anderson and Lopez, who will renew their contracts next year?

"With all due respect, I don't think anyone will give Yikai a long-term contract with an average salary of more than 5 million. I can go one step further, 10 million for two years, and a team option for the second year. If you don't accept this, then We will only choose to let Yi go to the free market, and then match as appropriate.”

Jiang Mingliang gave this contract because of Yi Jianlian's identity as a Chinese. If he insists on asking for a contract of more than three years, he can only accept the test of the market.

"It seems that we can't reach an agreement on this matter for the time being. It doesn't matter, we still have time to discuss this contract in the future." Fagan simply ended the negotiation this time, and still greeted Jiang Mingliang with a smile.

Looking at Yi Jianlian's performance in the second half of the season, at least this time the negotiation has tested Jiang Mingliang's emphasis on other aspects other than Yi Jianlian's player status, which has already achieved Fagan's goal.
