The older superstars of the NBA

"Draymond, are you serious? Why are you asking for leave now? Tomorrow is our game against the Timberwolves. If you don't show up, what do you want us to do?"

On practice day, general manager Bob Myers called Draymond Green from the sidelines.

Since Draymond Green took the initiative to ask for leave, he has never appeared in the arena again.In the past two days, his attitude has made the Warriors management pay attention.

Draymond Green on the other end of the phone seemed to have just woken up, and he didn't seem to care about General Manager Bob Myers' inquiry.

"Oh! Is that Bob?"

"Dude, I just had a great night last night...why are you bothering me at this hour? That's rude..."

Hearing that Draymond Green didn't take it seriously at all, the general manager Bob Myers also lost his temper. His tone suddenly became serious, and he directed at Draymond Green on the other end of the phone. Start shouting.

"Draymond, what do you mean?"

"I hope you remember who you are, if you refuse to play for the team, then I promise you won't be in the team next season..."

"I hope you remember clearly, without the Warriors, you may not be reused... At the beginning, you were just a second-round pick who was not valued by others. Who helped you grow to this point? Are you going to betray us? ?"

Bob Myers' words immediately made the atmosphere extremely tense.

It took a while before Draymond Green on the other end of the phone responded.

"Bob, it's true that I was trained by the Warriors, but now I know very well that my value to the Warriors is the greatest at this stage..."

"I've heard that the team is doing early extensions with some guys recently, and frankly, I think I deserve that as well... If the team is willing to talk about it, then I can come back anytime. , if the team is not willing... Anyway, when the time comes, they will leave, and it doesn't matter whether they play the next game or not..."

After Draymond Green finished speaking, the general manager Bob Myers on the other end of the phone finally woke up.

"So...Draymond, you did all these things just to renew the contract early, right?"

"If the team can renew your contract in advance, then you are willing to continue playing?"

Bob Myers asked.

"of course."

Draymond Green on the phone gave an extremely precise answer.

"Okay, if that's the case, in an hour, I'll bring someone from the team's management team to visit you officially, and we'll talk about contract renewal right away..."

"Really?"

"Damn...you're not kidding me, are you?"

Before Draymond Green on the other end of the phone could continue, the general manager of the team, Bob Myers, started to act.

Originally, the renewal of the contract was going on, and Draymond Green, who performed well, was of course one of the key figures of the team's investigation.

You know, as a second-round pick, his performance is indeed very good to some extent.Since he entered the Warriors, he averaged 2.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in the rookie season. In the second year, he averaged 6.2 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

In the third year, Draymond Green became the team's starting striker. While counterattacking, he averaged 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

As a second-round rookie, his rookie contract is different from that of a first-round rookie.

His rookie contract with the Warriors has a total of 3 years, and the salaries for these three years are 85 US dollars, 88 US dollars and 92 US dollars.

These fees may be reduced by about half after taxation. Therefore, for a rookie player, this is not a favorable condition.

Compared with the data obtained by Draymond Green and the effect on the team, such a contract can be described as extremely cost-effective.

"Steve, give me two hours and I'll get Draymond..."

"Wait until I bring that guy back for training..."

Team general manager Bob Myers is full of confidence.

He set off quickly with his team, and arrived at Draymond Green's apartment half an hour later.

Draymond Green thought it was a fake at first, but after seeing Bob Myers come to the door in person, he knew that the other party was not lying at all, and that he was indeed planning to come for the truth.

Draymond Green was very excited, even though he couldn't hide his smile completely on his face, he still pretended to be angry in his heart.

He welcomed Bob Myers into the apartment, but he didn't intend to have any pleasantries with him, and he raised the most core question as soon as he came up.

"Will the Warriors offer me a contract for how many years? How much annual salary?"

Bob Myers is not the same as before.

Before, even if he was the general manager, he had to coax the players and even beg them to come back to play.Now he was negotiating the contract on behalf of the team, and as the party with the initiative, Bob Myers immediately put on airs.

He raised his legs up and leaned on the sofa, kept looking up and down Draymond Green, and asked the other party actively, "Draymond, how much do you think you are worth? Do you want to sign a contract with the team for several years?" ?

Although Draymond Green was somewhat dissatisfied with Bob Myers' actions, he could only respond passively because the other party had the initiative.

"Bob... No, Mr. Bob, I hope to sign a long-term contract with the team. I am still very young, and my future must be limitless..."

"I will definitely be the core figure of the Warriors...I believe in this very much...so, I hope the team can sign me with a four-year to five-year contract. Annual salary cannot be less than $2000 million a year..."

Bob Myers was just asking tentatively, but when Draymond Green asked, Bob Myers was dumbfounded.

"Draymond, are you sure you're not kidding me? An annual salary of 2000 million is quite a lot. Even for Stephen, this price is definitely not easy for the team..."

Bob Myers said again in a persuasive tone, "Think again! My advice to you is to refer to the annual salary of other people on the team... instead of just saying one Price, we don't have so many checks for you to fill out at will...."

Unexpectedly, after Bob Myers said these words, Draymond Green's face turned cold.

Without any hesitation, he got up and walked directly to the door, putting on a look of preparing to drive away the guests, "Bob, I still say the same thing, I think I'm worth so much... If the Warriors are not willing to give If so, I'm not the only one who can get offers from the Warriors...."
