NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Let's not talk about the future.

At least... Su Yan's performance tonight definitely deserves the title of "top 3D player".

After the game.

In a stadium that was originally dominated by male fans and had fewer female fans, the screams of the female fans almost drowned out those of the male fans!

For no other reason than...

She hoped there was even a one in ten thousand chance that Su Yan would notice her and spark some kind of exciting story.

……

After the game.

After celebrating in the locker room, the Knicks players went home.

Su Yan didn't leave.

Agent Jeff Augustine had also arrived earlier.

There's another big thing to do tonight: finalize a new contract.

Manager's office, lounge.

Su Yan and Augustine were already inside, with two steaming cups of coffee on the coffee table.

Manager Donnie Walsh and Coach D'Antoni haven't arrived yet.

Augustine said softly, "Boss, what if the Knicks don't offer a good enough salary tonight?"

I think... signing with the Bulls would be a good option.

You're still a bit outnumbered in the Knicks, even though you can be the leader and have unlimited shooting rights.

Good personal data.

But it would be best if we could win the championship in the future.

Clearly... the current Knicks roster is insufficient to give the team the potential to compete for a championship in the future.

"I see."

Su Yan nodded.

Augustine continued, "Even though the Clippers are in Los Angeles, Chris Kaman, Camby, and DeAndre Jordan can protect the rim."

but.

DeAndre Jordan is too inexperienced; Chris Kaman is an All-Star caliber player.

Camby was also the second overall pick in the "96 Golden Generation," a superb defender, and quite popular.

They may not respect you.

What I mean is... they might not want to be your underlings, doing all the dirty work for you!

Su Yan nodded again.

He understood what Augustine meant.

Just saying.

Walsh and D'Antoni pushed open the door and entered.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Su Yan!"

Manager Walsh explained apologetically, "I just went to print some things, and I hope we can use them tonight."

He then looked at Augustine, extended his hand and smiled, "Jeff, hello, thank you for your trouble with Su Yan's matter."

Augustine stood up and shook hands with him. "It's my job, Mr. Donnie."

"Please have a seat."

Walsh gestured for him to sit down, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then cut straight to the point, saying with a smile, "The situation is urgent."

If we wait any longer, we might be ambushed.

Su Yan… let me share my thoughts first, and then you can give your opinion after you've heard them all!

"Okay, you say."

"Cough cough..."

Walsh cleared his throat and continued, "First of all, the Knicks are located in New York, which gives them a natural market advantage."

I'll mention it briefly, but I won't go into too much detail.

Secondly... the other teams' offers were basically all based on 4 years and $2000 million.

Around 500 million a year.

This is higher than the third overall pick, and basically close to the first overall pick. This contract is actually not low.

but.

We're the Knicks, after all, and we're not short of money.

Furthermore... whether it's me, the coach, or the rest of the management, we all like Su Yan very much and are optimistic about your future.

and so.

First, let's talk about the contract salary: 2400 million for 2 years, the amount remains the same, but the term is 2 years shorter, which is equivalent to 1200 million US dollars per year.

Also.

This is a 1+1 contract, with Su Yan having a player option for the second year.

You can choose to exercise your contract, or opt out, become a free agent, and then sign a new contract.

hiss~

Augustine's lips twitched violently after hearing the offer, despite his best efforts to remain calm.

But the corner of his mouth still twitched slightly a couple of times.

This price... is too high.

It's worth noting that Blake Griffin's contract was only 4 years and $2400 million.

600 million a year.

Su Yan's income doubled, soaring to 1200 million a year, which was truly astonishing.

What is this concept? !

年薪1100-1200万之间，有1100万的约什·霍华德，他是06~07赛季的全明星。

Monta Ellis, a top-ten scorer in the league, earns $1100 million annually.

It's worth mentioning that he was never selected as an All-Star player throughout his entire career.

Richard Hamilton, $1163 million annual salary, three-time All-Star player from 05 to 08.

Antoine Jamison, $1163 million annual salary, All-Star player in the 07-08 season.

Chauncey Billups, $1200 million annual salary, four-time All-Star from 05 to 09.

Within the $1100-$1200 million annual salary range, there are four All-Star players and one top-ten scorer in the league.

Now there's one more, Su Yan.

Uh... how do I blow it?

It's perfectly reasonable for an undrafted rookie to receive an All-Star salary, right?! (Smug face.jpg)

Actually.

Given Su Yan's current talent and ability, he really doesn't deserve twice the salary of the top draft pick.

Are the Knicks just "foolish and rich"?

That might be one aspect.

Another very important aspect is Coach D'Antoni's fervent praise.

He has a forward-thinking understanding of the small-ball era, and he particularly likes the "run-and-gun system".

Su Yan fulfilled all his fantasies about the small-ball era and the "run-and-gun system".

He liked Su Yan very much.

He desperately wanted Su Yan to stay with the Knicks, so he kept brainwashing Walsh and the management.

Hopefully, they will find a way to keep Su Yan, and they will definitely win the championship in the future, helping the Knicks win their third championship in history.

Yes.

This is one of the reasons why the Knicks offered such a "sky-high" contract to an undrafted player.

Walsh didn't have time to notice Augustin's micro-expressions. He continued, "Rookies must sign a 2+2, four-year contract, with at least two years tied to the team."

This regulation does indeed provide security for a large number of players.

However, this is not a good thing for exceptionally talented players with high potential.

He might have to take a four-year rookie contract salary.

You were not selected in the draft.

If you are not covered by the guarantee, then how to sign a contract is something the team can decide for themselves.

That's why we signed it this way.

It's because we believe in your potential and know that you will definitely become a superstar in the future.

Then.

If you sign a low-paying contract for one year, and if you can prove your worth this year, you can sign a top-salary contract next year.

We will protect your best interests.

Of course... I also hope we have a pleasant working relationship, and that I will prioritize re-signing with the Knicks next year.

"of course."

Su Yan went along with it.

If others have already said those things, it would be somewhat unreasonable for us not to set aside the uncertainties and express our own stance.

"Ha ha!"

Walsh was pleased with the reply and chuckled as he continued, "That's all for the contract."

I think it's already at its maximum, but of course... it's still not absolute. If Su Yan isn't satisfied, we can still negotiate!

Secondly, and more importantly, is the team's future!!!
