P.S. Regarding the issue of the male lead's contract, Youzi had checked the annual salary of many NBA players. After all, they were rookies, so they definitely didn't get much in the past few years. If the novel was based on reality, everyone would definitely not agree that the male lead would still receive such a small annual salary despite being so powerful. It was a novel anyway, so the annual salary of the male lead in the novel was naturally much higher than that of a rookie in real life. After all, this was a novel and not reality. Naturally, there would be differences. This was something that he had to make clear to everyone, lest some fans say that the male lead's annual salary was too low or that a new male lead had a huge annual salary. But ultimately, this was a novel, not reality. Youzi had no choice but to go into a dead end after understanding this.
"Sigh, I don't have to run to the stadium today.”Chen Sha said comfortably after getting into the car.
Camilla drove, but Chen Sha did not know how to drive either.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to drive, but he didn't have an American driver's license. Naturally, he couldn't drive.
Besides, there were advantages to not being able to drive.
When they arrived, Camilla and Chen Sha went to the general manager's office to discuss the contract.
As an NBA player, his income was not limited to the annual salary offered by the team.
At the same time, there were also commissions from jersey sales, sneakers contracts, and even the team's share of the tickets, but these were only for players above the All-Star level.
For example, the commission from jersey sales was something every player had.
However, many fans liked to buy the jerseys of their favorite star players. Without ability, it was difficult to sell many jerseys that were not star players. Naturally, the commission was not much.
Kobe, for example, was currently in the top five in terms of jersey sales among basketball players in the league.
With such high jersey sales, the commission they received was naturally not small, and their income would definitely be higher.
The exact amount depended on the player's commission and share after signing the contract with the manufacturer.
Chen Sha had made a name for himself in these few games. His jersey sales had also skyrocketed in the past few days.
Most of the fans who bought Chen Sha's jerseys were from China, although there were also many fans in Los Angeles who bought Chen Sha's jerseys.
Chen Sha's performance in these few matches could be considered a superstar's. However, no one could say for sure whether Chen Sha had just exploded. It would depend on the follow-up.
If Chen Sha could play steadily, the sales of jerseys would definitely increase. By then, Chen Sha would be able to earn a lot from the jerseys.
The other was the contract for the sneakers. Chen Sha had not signed it yet, so he had not received any commission yet.
In the discussion with the team manager, Bath, Camilla displayed her eloquence.
"Alright, in that case, 60 million for three years, effective this summer in July.”Baz had spent a lot of money to sign Chen Sha.
"Mr. Bass, you will be happy with your decision.”
"In the future, you will also thank God for giving you this contract today.”Camilla's words were so pleasant that even Chen Sha could not help but shake his head.
In fact, Chen Sha's annual salary would not be the highest starting next summer.
After all, Kobe was around. The boss of the Laker team was earning 30 million yuan. Chen Sha's annual salary would be around 16 million yuan starting next season.
Chen Sha had signed for three years, starting from the 2013 - 2014 season.
13-14 Season, the annual salary for the first year was 16.8 million.
14-15 The annual salary for the second year was 19.8 million.
15-16 In the third season, his annual salary would exceed 20 million, which was 23.4 million.
Three years was enough for Chen Sha to grow and earn an annual salary of more than 20 million.
Moreover, Kobe would be 38 years old three years later.
Next season, Kobe's annual salary would be 30.45 million. It would also be the last season of Kobe's fourth contract with the Laker.
At the end of the next season, Kobe's contract would also expire. If he wanted to sign a contract, it would depend on Chen Sha's performance. Only then would Kobe's new contract be decided.
However, with Kobe's great contribution to the Los Angeles Clippers, even if Chen Sha was worth enough to take over Kobe's position, the Los Angeles Clippers would still give Kobe a big contract that exceeded the expectations of the outside world.
Chen Sha was still young. As a 19-year-old rookie, it was unprecedented for him to get a contract worth more than 15 million yuan at the start of the next season.
Before Chen Sha, no one had been able to get a contract worth more than 15 million in the second season of the NBA.
However, the Los Angeles team saw Chen Sha's potential and dared to give him that.
"It looks like we don't plan to keep Dwight for next season.”No matter how stupid Chen Sha was, he could see Baz's intentions.
"It's not that I don't want to keep him, but he doesn't intend to stay here at all.”
"Before you came, Dwight asked me to trade him more than once.”
"The reason is very simple. He and Bryant don't get along. You saw it on the court. The two of them have never played effectively together.”
"Otherwise, Bryant, Steve, Pau Gasol, and Dwight wouldn't have been able to play well with them.”Baz was also very helpless about this.
Chen Sha also knew that even though he had only been with the Los Angeles team for about half a month.
However, he also realized that there was indeed something wrong with this team. Kobe and Howard even quarreled a lot.
If Chen Sha had not stopped the fight, the two of them might have started fighting.
"By the way, other than the contract, we also want to ask you if you have any good suggestions for strengthening the bench.?”This question surprised Chen Sha.
He actually came to ask him how to increase the strength of the substitutes?
"Well, I hope that when Bryant isn't around, there will be someone who can guarantee the firepower output of the point guard or the defense of the perimeter.”
"I know that it's almost impossible to get a player who has a strong perimeter defense and a strong scoring ability, because such a player is often an All-Star player. It's impossible for him to be willing to play as a substitute for Bryant.”
"So, considering Bryant's position as a substitute, we can either find someone who can guarantee firepower output. It doesn't matter if they are weak in defense. Even if he doesn't defend, it's fine as long as I open up the perimeter with him and use offense instead of defense.”
"Why don't we find a defensive player who can defend three positions on the perimeter? That way, I can make up for the lack of firepower.”Chen Sha revealed his plan.
After Bass heard this, he asked the scouts around him to record it.
"We plan to use Chris Duhon, Yodymeeks, Earl Clark, and Andrew Goodlock as bargaining chips to trade for the player you suggested.”Baz seemed to be really ambitious.
Chen Sha shook his head." Only Du Hong has some value as a bargaining chip. The other three have no value. If they send him out, the other teams might feel that they are occupying a spot on the roster.”
Chen Sha was telling the truth.
Bass was also very helpless. These few people were basically signed for less than 1.4 million.
For example, Clark had 1.24 million, Meeks had 1.5 million, Morris had 960,000, Goodlock had 470,000, and Thackeray, the center, also had 470,000.
These were all players from the Los Angeles Clippers, but many of them had played in the development league and helped them grow.
Now that they had a supernova like Chen Sha, it seemed that it was really necessary to trade or cut a few players to reduce a certain amount of luxury tax for the team.
At the same time, it was also to free up some new players to sign next summer to assist Chen Sha and Kobe.
