I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 215 Who is better to sign (second update)
Piomberti and a group of executives were very confused when they saw this work arrangement.

Originally, I thought that this job arrangement should be less than a dozen, from the draft to the free market to trading, and training camps.

From June to October, four months is enough time for the team to refine the lineup.

After a promising season, everyone's morale is high, and they all think that they can help the team go further next season.

With the Clippers' current lineup, if a heavyweight forward is introduced at the third position, the team can already compete in the West.

As a result, there are three work arrangements, the first two are related to the draft, and the third is directly on vacation?
It's really too early, when will the holidays start? Is the new season starting?

Olshey and Rosser were absent, Gary Sachs asked cautiously: "Mr. Smart, are we going to give up the free market signing?"

Min Congda said: "That's right, it's enough to train the draftees well, who else do we have to sign, do we still have room?"

Sachs said: "This year's salary cap should shrink, and the space will not be too abundant, but there is still some. Jaric's contract buyout expired, and 700 million salary space was released. Then, Camby's contract this year When it expires, the $1000 million space is released. So, we have $1700 million in salary space. If we make some trades or buyouts, we can make up 2000 million space, which is enough to sign those big fish in the free market."

Min Congda was surprised when he heard that, NND, the Clippers can make up $2000 million in salary space?

After careful calculation, this is true. Because Randolph renewed his contract in advance, his original salary of 1700 million U.S. dollars for the next year has become 1500 million.

Curry is more than 400 million, Davis is 1200 million, Gasol is more than 300 million, Gordon is 280 million, and Ricky Davis' contract expires. The remaining corners add up to more than 100 million, and the total salary is only 3700 million.

The salary cap for next season should be around 5700 million, and the Clippers really have 2000 million free.

At that time, the rookie contract can be signed beyond the cap, and then one middle class and two basic salaries will be used.

The championship team was armed at once!

Min Congda's cold sweat was pouring down, but luckily he took Olshezhiling away.

Let him go to China to open up wasteland. If he stays in Los Angeles and operates, he will really fool James.

Then the system does not allow him to refuse a reasonable signing request, isn't that the end?
There are traffic and championships, tickets are sold out, the first championship in team history, and the market value has doubled...

Don't even think about taking more than 3 million US dollars in bankruptcy dividends in this life, and stay tied to the position of general manager of the Clippers for a lifetime and eat some dead wages!
At that time, the team's record is getting better and better, losing more than a dozen games in a season, not to mention losing wages, you may not find a chance to scold the referee if you want to.

Then earn a little bit of money, once you get to the playoffs and win all the way, you will win all your money.

The more Min Congda thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more determined he was to give the team a holiday.

He coughed and said: "Everyone has worked hard for a season, and it should be a holiday. The work of the free market this year is mainly to check for leaks and fill vacancies. Don't waste too much energy on those big fish. They are not good for the Clippers. There will be interest. We still have to firmly focus on the draft and take the draft as the core to build our powerful Los Angeles Clippers."

"I have spent the whole season proving to you how important the draft, patience, and long-term vision are. Why are you still obsessed with it? You always want to catch big fish in the free market and pick up ready-made ones. Let me tell you something , there will be no pies in the sky, you must give up your illusions and work hard."

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Min Congda and thought to themselves, work hard and give us a holiday?
Min Congda also felt that something was wrong, and added: "Comrade Lenin once said that rest is for better work, and those who can't rest can't work."

Everyone looked at each other again, blinking at Min Congda, Mr. Smart, this is America, why are you still using Lenin's famous quote?

Min Congda coughed lightly again, and said, "As for me, I planned to give everyone a holiday in July, and by the way, I used part of the money earned by the team last season to give everyone bonuses, at least 7 US dollars per person. Starting at $1. If you don’t want paid vacation and bonuses, forget it, work, overtime, no money.”

Hearing what Min Congda said, everyone got up one after another and left. What work do they still have to do? Isn't it good to take money and go home to rest?

Before leaving, Piomberti still asked very professionally: "Then the team's 2000 million space must be used up, otherwise it will not reach the bottom line."

Min Congda said: "Don't worry, can I not know about this? I will investigate some suitable players, and I will notify you to provide support if necessary."

Piombetty then nodded and left the office, leaving Min Congda sitting on the chair alone.

"Sad, the bonus of 1 to 5 US dollars per person is just to keep you from working. Where can you find such a good general manager? Look at other executives and managers, who doesn't have the money to send it to yourself first?" Salaries, bonuses, millions, hundreds of millions.”

"As for me, I just give you money and don't let you work. My own money can only come from the system, and I can't get the team's money! What a crime."

"There are still 2000 million I have to spend. What kind of poor ghosts are there in the NBA? I, RNM, are there 2000 million poor ghosts?"

If it weren't for system restrictions, Min Congda really wanted to use the 2000 million to sign himself, so his management ability would be worth 2000 million in annual salary.

But the 2000 million is not enough, not only to spend but also to spend, to fill up the salary cap.

In this way, the salary cap will rise in the future, and the salaries of the players will rise accordingly, so that they will have the opportunity to pay the luxury tax in the future.

The luxury tax is a huge expense. In addition to paying the players excessive wages, an additional huge amount of money must be paid to the league.

If the money is handed over, it is handed over, and there is no possibility of any income.

It costs tens of millions at every turn, how could Min Congda let go of such a costly part.

But, who should be signed in the free market?
This stumped Min Congda.

Popular players like James and Wade will definitely not work.

It's not good for players who are too bad, it's not that Min Congda looks down on them.

But if you can't give too high a salary, the system will make a judgment.

After thinking about it, Min Congda decided to open 2K to take a look and select through the game.

"What kind of players should I choose? It's best to look for players who have some strength in the past but are outdated. Or players whose talents have not been realized. The advantage of this is that they have little strength, but they can be paid relatively high wages."

In order to escape the judgment of the system, Min Congda formulated a train of thought, that is, he had found balloon stars and potential players whose talents had not been fulfilled.

Such players often carry the halo of the past, but in fact their strength is not very good, and their prices are inflated.

It was exactly the one that Min Congda wanted most.
