Wang Yi agreed without even thinking about it.
For the team, $300 million is not a big deal.
During the second negotiation a week later, Pelinka said that he hoped that Wang Yi could reduce his salary again.
Just take $2000 million.
With more than $800 million saved, the Lakers can use it to sign a good three-point shooter to strengthen their three-point firepower.
This time, Wang Yi hesitated.
He is not a bad guy.
He can accept a salary cut, but he can't cut it without a bottom line.
No one would be happy to take less than 800 million U.S. dollars a year.
And if he takes less money, his agent Sister Luo will also get less $32.
But before he could speak, Sister Luo took the initiative to say: "Wang Yi, we can't just focus on immediate interests. We must take a long-term view. Although we will get a little less money this season, if we stay with the Lakers, we will lose money in two years. With the bird rights, I can get more money when I renew my contract with the Lakers."
"And a big city like Los Angeles has far more exposure than other cities. If we stay here, we will maximize your commercial value, which is good for you."
In the end, Wang Yi accepted Pelinka's opinion.
Decided to renew the contract with the Lakers for $4000 million in two years.
Only take 2000 million US dollars a year.
You know, in today's era of super contracts flying everywhere, players like Gobert can get an annual salary of 4000 million US dollars.
What is Gobert?
At most, it can be regarded as a super blue-collar worker.
Averaged 14 points, 13 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.
And what about Wang Yi?
This season, he averaged 27.9 points, 8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.
MVP-level stats.
His scoring average is nearly double that of Gobert, and his defense is not weak, but because of his size limitation, his defensive role is not as great as Gobert.
As a result, his annual salary is only half of Gobert's.
If you say this, you will be laughed out of your teeth.
But Rowling is right, re-signing with the Lakers is good for his future development.
So on July [-]st, Wang Yi immediately renewed his contract with the Lakers.
$4000 million over two years.
Compared with Wang Yi's performance on the court, and the huge Chinese market behind him, this is simply the price of cabbage.
When the contract extension between Wang Yi and the Lakers dawned, all the media and fans went crazy.
Los Angeles Times: "The Lakers picked up a big deal"
New York Times: "Why Didn't Wang Yi Come to New York?"We can definitely give him a maximum salary"
Spurs coach Popovich said in an interview: The Lakers are simply robbing.
Mavericks boss Cuban shook his head again and again in an interview: The Lakers are really lucky, but their boss is too picky.If it weren't for the salary cap limit, I would give Wang Yi $7000 million a year.
After signing the contract with the team, Wang Yi and Sister Luo started meeting with those big companies non-stop.
Nike, Adidas, Li Ning, Anta and other sports brands have joined the competition for Wang Yi.
Nike offer: $5 million in 2 years;
Adidas quotation: 5 million US dollars in 1.8 years;
Li Ning offer: 5 million US dollars in 1.5 years;
Anta offer: 5 million US dollars in 1.2 years.
……
But Wang Yi did not sign a contract with any of them in a hurry.
Instead, let Sister Luo's agency fully evaluate these domestic brands before making a decision.
As for Nike and Adidas, it is not considered at all.
The evaluation will take at least a week, so Wang Yi plans to take advantage of this week to go home.
He hasn't been home for more than two years, it's time to go back and have a look.
When Nicole heard that Wang Yi was going home, she wanted to go with her.
At first Wang Yi refused.
But considering that Nicole has done a lot for herself, he agreed.
But make it clear to Nicole in advance, only take her to Huaxia.
As for going home, let's not go.
After all, in Huaxia, an unmarried man who brought an unmarried girl home could easily be misunderstood as a parent.
When they had just landed and hadn't left the airport, Wang Yi suddenly received a call from Sister Luo.
When he heard the call, he froze in place.
358 The Lakers are crazy, Pelinka is crazy, Jenny is crazy
Wang Yi and Nicole had just walked out of the airport and were about to board the special car that picked them up—of course, this car was also contacted by Nicole.
It seems that she has a much wider network in China than Wang Yi.
At this time, Wang Yi's phone rang.
Wang Yi took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Rowling's number.
"Sister Luo, what's the matter?"
