Only one year?
And it had to start at ten million?!
The two higher-ups looked at the calm and confident Ren Xiao as if they had seen a ghost.
The general manager, Pelinka, frowned in anger.
Although he also recognized Ren Xiao's body side data and summer league performance, he believed more in statistics and long-standing public consensus.
Basketball was an extremely competitive sport that had always been dominated by talented black players.
Pelinka had doubts about whether Ren Xiao could withstand the intensity of the NBA's confrontation.
He was the general manager of the team and was responsible for the entire team.
They definitely did not want to sign a player with glass attributes.
The key was that Ren Xiao, who was as talented as a big shark, had not played a single NBA regular season game. He had not even played in the preseason.
"Ren, your request really caught us off guard. Moreover, we'll give you a four-year contract. It's actually more secure for you.”
"Why did you choose to sign a one-year contract? This is not the wisest choice for you.”
Pelinka was surprised and voiced out his doubts.
Ren Xiao smiled as he looked at Magician John Xun, who had a comical and exaggerated expression, and then looked directly at Pelinka's puzzled eyes. In an instant, his expression turned cold.
"You must think I'm crazy, right? But I believe in my own strength!"
"Give me a year and I can bring the Laker into the playoffs!”
"You can write this in the contract. I said it!”
Ren Xiao, who had fused with the talent of a peak shark, said confidently.
If they had not seen his explosive performance in the summer league, John Xun and Pelinka would have thought that this big man from China must have drunk too much.
"Oh, Ren, your arrogance and self-confidence are not inferior to that omnipotent shark!”
Magician John grinned widely as he spoke, his eyes narrowing into a line.
Compared to obedient players, he preferred this kind of confident and stubborn player.
The general manager, Pelinka, recovered from the shock and immediately said seriously,"" Ren, since you insist on signing a one-year contract, I need it."
At this moment.
His phone suddenly rang.
Pelinka gestured for the two of them to wait for a moment before picking up his phone and answering the call.
"Hey, Robber, I want to ask that Ren Xiao from China, will you let go?”
"Vlad, our friendship is good, but let me tell you clearly, Ren's future is in the Laker!”
After Pelinka hung up, the Knicks general manager, Scott Perry, called again.
"Robber, your team already has Ivica Zubacs and Larry Nance, two big guys. Ren Xiao will be buried in your team, so why don't you give him to us?”
"Scott, you always want to take advantage of the situation. Do you believe that Irwin will rush over and fight you to the death?”
Less than two minutes after he hung up, the general manager of the Mavericks (renamed the Mavericks on January 4, 2018), Donnie Nelson, called again.
"Robber, your team is full of talents. We are interested in that big guy from China, Ren Xiao, and can provide him with an annual salary of 15 million and a starting center position!”
"15 million annual salary? Donnie, are you crazy? But you're too late, Ren Xiao has already agreed to sign the contract with us.”
Pelinka had a headache dealing with the general managers of the other teams in the league, as if they had agreed to play at the same time.
These general managers were like sharks that smelled blood, wanting to intercept Ren Xiao halfway.
Especially when the Mavericks were willing to offer Ren Xiao a big contract, it was a huge blow to him.
Pelinka called Magician John to the side and told him what had happened.
"Robber, old friend, listen to me. You can't hesitate anymore!”
Magician John urged urgently,""Ren Xiao's only weakness is his lack of experience, but you and I both know that that guy, Brian Cohen, has been looking for a successor to Dirk.”
"Once the Mavericks get Ren Xiao, they will definitely be a roadblock to our team's rise in the future!”
The general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, Pelinka, thought about it again and again. He nodded heavily and agreed with him.
As a metropolis team, the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers couldn't accept that this traditional powerhouse team had always been weak.
That was why the Magic had sent off Russell, the second-place pick, last year and cleared up enough salary space.
At the same time, through the NBA draft, he selected a group of talented young talents, including Ingram and Ball.
All of this was done to sign superstars like Paul George and LeBlanc James in the free market next year.
This year's team was training young players, but they had to show their talent and improve the team's record as much as possible.
Otherwise, other than the big city of Los Angeles, what else could they rely on to attract those big superstars to join?
They needed Ren Xiao's words to lead the team into the playoffs!
Besides, he was only signed for one year, so it wouldn't affect the fact that the Los Angeles Clippers would bring in a superstar next year.
Many years later, when Ren Xiao led the Los Angeles Clippers to sweep the league and win three consecutive championships, they once again established a dynasty team.
When the reporters interviewed the magician John Xun and the general manager Pelinka, they repeatedly said that they were glad that Ren Xiao had stayed.
These were all things for the future. After discussing it, the two of them decided to take a gamble.
"Ren, in order to show our team's sincerity, we agree to provide you with a big contract with a one-year annual salary of 1500 yuan.”
"12 million is the guaranteed portion, and the other 3 million is the reward for leading the team into the playoffs!”
Ren Xiao was very satisfied with the contract offered by the Laker and stood up to shake hands with the two.
"Very good, I agree to sign the contract!"
