Chapter 039
“Say something straight, Mr. Pelinka!”
The next morning, Cao received a call from management asking him to take his agent to the conference room at the Staples Center.
The conference room was crowded with Lakers management bigwigs, Magic John and Sunpelinka sitting directly in the front of the conference room, next to team coach Scott, Kobe Bryant was also in the conference room.
In fact, Cao had already guessed the purpose of the Lakers management calling him in today.
Since even his agent Dan Fei was invited over, it was obvious that he was talking about some signing matters.
“Let’s get straight to the point, Cao, we Lakers are very, very interested in you, we all believe in your potential, and we have a $50 million contract for you!” Pelinka said with a smile.
“Oh?!”
To be honest, Cao Thunderbolt himself felt a little surprised that the Lakers had such a big contract for a newcomer.
“50 million contract ?!!!”
Cao Piao did not have much physical reaction, but his agent Dan Fagan next to him was no longer calm.
As an agent, Fagan has never met a rookie who can get a 50 million contract.
Kevin Durant’s rookie contract is only $19.51 million for 4 years, and Lebron James is only $19 million for 3 years, and he has never heard of a rookie player who can get more than $25 million in contract.
And the Lakers directly offered Cao a $50 million.
Oh, my God…… Can he continue to calm down?
“Moreover, we are giving you a contract of 2+1,500 million US dollars, the first two years are full guarantee contracts, and the next year is a team option.”
“No way, there are rules in the league that rookie players are not eligible for player options, so we offer you a 2+1 contract for this.”
50 million in 3 years!
What Cao Pei didn’t expect was that he thought that the contract should be a 4-year system, because most of the NBA’s first-round picks are 2+2 contracts signed for 4 years, the first two years are full guarantee contracts, and the last two years are team options.
However, the Lakers only offered him a fat contract of 50 million, and it was still a three-year period.
I have to say that the Lakers put a lot of blood into order to keep Cao Piao’s heart!
With a salary of around $17 million a year!
This is a small star in the NBA, where is the treatment that a rookie should have!
“Cao, if I were you, I would never refuse.”
Cao Pei listened to the details of the contract, but the agent Fagan next to him couldn’t sit still at all, and he kept talking to Cao Pi.
“What are you still hesitating about?! Hurry up and sign the contract…”
But Cao Thunder was indifferent for the time being.
The Lakers offered a three-year contract of 50 million, which did surprise Cao Piao, but Cao Pi still wanted to know something else.
“Your contract does show great sincerity, and I’m very touched, but what I want to know more is, what will I get after joining the Lakers besides money?”
“Cao, come to our Lakers, you will directly serve as the team’s starting center in the new season!” Byron Scott said from the side.
Hearing this, Cao Pei nodded.
Salary, status, these are the two points that Cao Thiao values the most.
I have to say that the Lakers have put all their sincerity on the table, full of sincerity.
“Cao, as long as you come to the Lakers, we will form the strongest combination inside and outside.”
“We did finish at the bottom of the league last season, but I believe that with you, you and I can definitely make a comeback!”
“And, as you know, I can’t play for a few years, as long as you come, this scepter of the Lakers, you will be the best candidate for me to pass on.”
Bryant sat in the center of the conference room, and he said the most important points.
Money, tactical position, this is something that Cao will not lack in any team.
But Kobe’s words touched Cao Lei’s heart.
He doesn’t just want money and status, what he wants more is something legendary!
In the 2012~2013 season, the Lakers were also a team in the Western Conference playoffs.
In the 2013~2014 season, the Lakers were reduced to the second lowest in the West after Kobe Bryant’s injury.
In the 2014~2015 season, they continued the second-to-last finish in the West.
After the injury, Kobe Bryant has long been gone, and in the strong West, Kobe’s strength can no longer lead the team to the playoffs.
Now, this legendary team needs a player to lead them to the bottom of the rebound!
What Cao Pei likes more is this sense of mission!
He took a sip of water and said with a smile.
“You really impressed me, and I look forward to working with you to complete the revival of the Lakers!”
After speaking, Cao Pei did not hesitate anymore and directly signed his name on the contract.
PS, please everything, please everything, the evaluation votes will be added after 1000!
