America, Las Vegas, Jiang Bai's temporary residence.
"Ding dong…"
Jiang Bai was playing a 2K game when the doorbell rang in the short-term rental villa.
"Who's here?"
Jiang Bai was a little surprised.
Las Vegas was Jiang Bai's temporary residence. Other than his agent, Ricky Paul, and Marcus Smart, no one knew about this place.
Jiang Bai went to open the door of the villa.
Immediately after, a few familiar faces entered his sight.
One of them was his agent, Ricky Paul.
Jiang Bai guessed that this group of people had been brought here by Ricky Paul.
Jiang Bai was also very familiar with the rest of the people.
He was very short and looked a little like a Southeast Asian. He had a side-back greasy hair and was the Bishop of the Miami Heat. Eric Spoelstra!
Dressed in a black suit, he looked to be in his fifties, but he was hale and hearty. His hair was bright, and he gave off the feeling of a tycoon. It was the general manager of the Heat, pat Riley!
There was also a very familiar person. He was about the same size as him, and his big cheeks were like fish gills.
The Flash, Dwayne Wade!
The Miami Heat uniform team!
Jiang Bai was a little shocked by such a recruitment.
It was easy to understand why the Heat came to his temporary residence.
They were obviously here to recruit him!
However, the lineup of the uniform team was indeed a little strong.
From the manager to the team manager, to the team's meritorious players, everyone came to his residence!
It was not common to recruit players directly to someone's home.
Moreover, they were all big shots. They had practically mobilized a company's worth of troops!
His sincerity was written all over his face.
Jiang Bai couldn't help but think of the future Golden State Warriors 'defeat in the finals. He would come to Orlando and personally recruit Kevin Durant.
From the players to the coaching staff, but at that time, he had never heard of the general manager joining in the fun.
The degree of importance was evident!
Jiang Bai was very pleased with this!
"I'm very happy to see you, Jiang!”
The Heat's general manager, pat Riley, smiled and extended his right hand.
" Hello, Mr. Padt."
Jiang Bai reached out his hand in response.
"Hello, Erik Spoelstra, the Bishop of the Heat.”
"Hello,"
"Hey! Bro, let me introduce you to Dwayne Wade.”
Wade puffed out his cheeks, revealing a row of white teeth, and stretched out his right hand.
Compared to pat Riley and Coach Spoo's official team, Dwyane Wade was much more familiar.
Besides, there was a certain... sultry air about Wayde's every move.
Awesome! Awesome! Still as coquettish as ever!
Jiang Bai smiled. He felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Wade.
Among the three, Jiang Bai knew Wade the most.
"Let's go in and talk, Jiang."
Ricky Paul led the three of them into the house.
The members of the Heat's uniform team sat at a small round table. The five of them had a roundtable meeting!
"Jiang, on behalf of the entire Miami Heat team, I sincerely invite you.”
" Miami is a hot city," Patrick Riley said solemnly." We'll make you feel the warmth of fire."”
"Let's get down to business, Mister Padt.”
Jiang Bai didn't want to waste time.
Patrick Riley took out the contract from his briefcase.
"Our offer is a two-year contract.”
"A 1 1 contract with 15 million dollars in the first year and 17 million dollars in the second year!”
"32 million dollars for two years!”
Jiang Bai was a little surprised by the price of the contract.
If this contract was compared to that of a superstar, it did not have much of an advantage, but the problem was that Jiang Bai was a rookie player.
The highest price for an NBA rookie contract was Bogdanovic in 2011. At that time, the rookie's salary reached 33 million dollars for three years.
In the future, Zayen Williams, who had the highest rookie contract, would only get 44 million in four years.
As for Jiang Bai, his average annual salary had actually reached 16 million USD!
Once he signed this contract, Jiang Bai would become the most expensive rookie in NBA history!
Moreover, it was an existence that had never been seen before and would not be seen again in the next few years!
In addition, with 15 million USD a year, Jiang Bai's salary this year would rank 23rd in the league, on par with Dwyane Wade!
"Jiang, this is a two-year 1 1 contract. The first year is a guaranteed contract, and the second year is a player option.”
"As you know, our salary cap has limited room to operate this season. We are already prepared for the luxury tax.”
"The most important thing about this offer is the second year. I got you a player option!”
"In the 15 - 16 season, our team's salary cap will increase by 18 million USD.”
"Before the season when the salary cap rises sharply, you can choose to jump out of the contract and make an appointment with the highest salary!”
Patrick Riley revealed the Heat's offer!
32 million for two years. The contract was indeed the highest price Jiang Bai had ever seen in the market.
In addition, the second year was a player option, which Jiang Bai did not expect.
In order to keep Jiang Bai, the Miami Heat applied for player options and made room for a maximum salary!
Jiang Bai and Ricky Paul looked at each other thoughtfully.
15 million dollars in the first year.
The decision for the second year would be in his hands!
"We are utterly disappointed in Lebrang James 'decision.”
" Ever since he made the decision to return to Cleverland, we realized that the championship was getting further and further away from us," said Patrick Riley.”
"We have to find a new core of the team!!”
Jiang Bai understood what he meant.
The Heat was preparing to nurture him as the boss!!
The Heat was indeed leaderless.
Dwayne Wade was no longer at his peak.
Dragon King Bosh was ill.
None of the three magnates of the past could take on such a great responsibility.
And after James left, the Heat left behind a group of players who were useless to eat and a pity to abandon.
Mario Chalmers, Anderson the Birdman, Luol Deng, Norris Cole…
It was unrealistic to rely on these players to win the championship.
However, Jiang Bai also realized.
These guys had good experience and would be important bargaining chips in the trading market!
"If I join the Heat, will you make a deal?”
"Of course."
"What I value is not just the contract and status. In the new season, I want to ensure that the team is in the ranks of the champions!”
After thinking calmly, Jiang Bai asked,""So, in the free market now, do you have a suitable trading target?”
Basketball was a five-player sport. If they wanted to compete for the championship, the role players could not be defeated.
The Heat had to make a big change!
"This is all for later."
" Our first priority is to sign you," said Patrick Riley with a smile.”
"No player's deal can take precedence over yours.”
