The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: The negotiations between the Lakers and Garnett can be said to be full of twists and turns. In the early days of the negotiations, Jerry West led the negotiations on the Lakers side.

West is a good player in the draft, and he can also be called excellent in long-term planning and trading, but he is not good at contract renewal negotiations.

He's not the type to play roundabouts, like his trades are.

Either don't do it, or do it if you want to do it.

Therefore, the contract renewal led by West is not progressing smoothly. After Zhao Yuanzheng took over as a consultant, the situation began to change.

Bargaining is still the main purpose of the management, and the Garnett camp first launched off-court relations to leak the inside story of the negotiations.

They tried to use this method to influence the morale of the Lakers. The Lakers did suffer, but the one who didn't play well was Garnett.

The direct effect of Garnett's poor performance is that Duncan and Bodi Loga have more opportunities to perform. During this period, the Lakers never lost.

It can be said that the strategy of the Garnett camp failed. Then they changed their style of play, opting for more aggressive verbal threats.

They threatened to let Garnett test the waters of free agency this summer.

This sentence can frighten general management, such as the Minnesota Timberwolves, which lack background and fan market, because there is an urgent need for a team with a ticket-like supernova to stay with the team. They will meet each other's needs desperately, just like a licking dog who is obsessed, completely forgetting what it means to start from reality.

There is no shortage of superstars in the history of the Lakers, they are too experienced.

Zhao Yuanzheng was smiling, and his response surprised Garnett's agent Eric Fraser.

"If you decide to do this, we can only send blessings. Rest assured, even without Kevin, the Lakers will still be an overwhelming team. Tim Duncan is here for this, hungry on the bench Charles Barkley has long been impatient." Zhao Yuanzheng said playfully, "You may get a super contract as you wish, but

It will also lose the largest fan market and the world's commercial center. I believe this will not be a problem. "

Garnett's team did everything they could to shake up the Lakers front office.

Little Bass was impatient several times, but Zhao Yuanzheng was as immovable as a mountain. After following Louis for so many years, he knows the twists and turns inside too well. In the early years, there was no luxury tax, and the team could still make concessions on money. It's different now. Even if the Lakers are rich, they can't spend money randomly.

The factor that determines who dominates in the contract renewal is who needs the other party more. Generally speaking, the team needs players more, so it is only natural to meet all the needs of players.

But this kind of thing is not established in the Lakers.

Because their team's frontcourt lineup is too luxurious, Garnett is not irreplaceable.

And Garnett himself absolutely does not want to leave the Lakers.

To win, there is a big market and inestimable business prospects.

The same is to play a good year, the benefits of playing a good year in Minnesota and playing a good year in Los Angeles are completely different.

Garnett wanted to stay, which is why the Lakers dared to pull out the machete and slash the price again and again.

Negotiations continued until early February, and the two sides reached a verbal agreement.

On the bright side, the Lakers and Garnett reached a six-year, $100 million contract extension.

In fact, only $80 million of that is guaranteed. The remaining 20 million depends on whether Garnett can be selected to the best team and MVP in the next six years.

Selected to the best team (first team, second team, third team guaranteed amount is also different), he can get 90 million US dollars.

If elected MVP, he can get a full salary of 100 million US dollars. Louis was surprised and delighted by the result. He thought that Zhao Yuanzheng could talk about 100 million in 6 years and it would be over, but he didn't expect to negotiate a 6-year 100 million with clauses.

If Garnett is on a weak team, it will not be difficult to be selected to the All-NBA team in the next few years. The third team is easy for him, the second team is not difficult, and the first team needs to work hard. MV

For P, it depends on the personal struggle and the operation of the management.

In other words, in a weak team, Garnett can at least meet the terms of the best team.

But in the Lakers, because there are too many strong players, the data will inevitably be divided. It is not easy to be selected for the best team.

Don't even think about MVP.

So Garnett's 6-year 100 million looks like a face contract, but he can actually get 85 million.

This not only sets an indicator for the Lakers to follow up with other top players in the future, but also greatly reduces the financial pressure on the team.

It can be said that Zhao Yuanzheng has established his position in the Lakers by virtue of this contract renewal negotiation.

Garnett's contract extension gave people a reassurance, and then there is a big list for this year's All-Star Weekend.

In the Lakers team, a total of five players were selected as All-Stars.

They are Duncan, Wilson, Garnett, Barkley, and Bodi Loga.

In the second grade, Kobe was not able to be selected as an All-Star. This can be regarded as a small history changed by Louie. However, this is also normal.

Although Kobe has improved significantly, he is not attractive enough compared to Bodi Loga and Duncan. Moreover, sending five people to the All-Star at the same time is already the limit of Lakers fans.

In early February, the Lakers won consecutive victories against the Nuggets and Jazz, bringing the team's record to 45 wins and 2 losses.

When will they lose again, and who can make the Lakers swallow the third defeat has become an issue for the outside world.

The arrival of the All-Star weekend has dampened the discussion. The Lakers, whose five players were selected for the All-Star Game, are incomparable.

Louis, who led the team to the first record in the league, rejected the invitation of the Western All-Star coach, and the honor was deferred to Povich, the head coach of the Spurs ranked second in the Western Conference.

The NBA has entered a short break.

It was also at this time that "USA Today" selected the best players in the history of the four major leagues without any trouble.

The best player in League One NFL history has caused huge controversy. They chose Jim Brown (Jiron) instead of Triple Crown winner and hot San Francisco **** Jerry Rice (Jerry Re).

The best in MLB history is basically undisputed, and the curse of "Holy Baby" Babe Ruth still reverberates in Boston today.

There can be no suspense in the NHL. Wayne Gretzky's achievements, from the perspective of the NBA, are Chamberlain's statistics and Bird's peak dominance.

The NBA's GOAT candidate is interesting. So far it is recognized that Tebold was defeated, and Benj, the first heir to the throne, was also ignored. The author chose Patrick Ewing as the best.

His comment on Ewing was: "The way Bill Russell plays today."

The incident disgusted both Byrd and Wilson fans and made USA Today a target.

A war of words is imminent.

Louie, as usual, had no comment.

In fact, he really wanted to say that the author of this article had given up his fortune.

Which one do you choose? Do you have to choose Ewing as a dog? Can he be? Ask Sampson if he agrees?

Letting this orangutan be the goalkeeper of President Hill is already flattering him. Disgusting, disgusting!

But ~www.novelmt.com~ Louie will not publicly express his views on his place in history.

He has no opinion at all.

Does the historical status among the players have any use for him? Instead of bringing extra attention to those bird people who have nothing to do, it is better to care about the people around you.

For example, a wife who is complacent because she went abroad for a minute in "Titanic", or an old mother who likes to comment on her figure, or a daughter who is more and more prone to puppy love, or a son who is obsessed with basketball.

There are so many specific people around me, who is not good to care about, why should I care about whether orangutans are worthy of the dog position?

One more thing, he doesn't deserve it.

PS: Am I alluding to something? I can only say that I didn’t have this kind of thought when typing on the keyboard, but after writing it, looking back, it’s a bit...

This book has been written for so long, and when I see the word orangutan, Ewing’s face comes to mind. It is said that the nickname of orangutan belonged to Ewing originally, and this is returned to the original owner.
