Chapter 440: Zhang Feng's Terms!

The topic of discussion at the meeting was whether to give Zhang Feng a maximum salary.

Previously, rookie players signed two- to three-year rookie contracts, and talented rookies were already great in their first year.

Only Zhang Feng won the MVP and FMVP honors in his first year in the NBA, setting a new record for rookies.

"I think it's okay, it's okay to get the highest honor and the highest salary like Zhang Feng in the rookie season. "

"The rookie has signed a two-to-three-year contract, and the contract has to be fulfilled, and it is okay to wait until the end of his rookie contract to get the maximum salary. "

There is a lot of discussion about this situation now, and basically everyone is expressing their own opinions.

Half of them support Zhang Feng and the rest oppose Zhang Feng.

"Dolan, what do you think of being the boss of Zhang Feng?"

David Stern still wants to hear from Knicks owner Dolan.

"Of course, I support Zhang Feng to get the highest salary, as long as the alliance agrees to such a treaty. "

When Dolan heard that he was asked by David Starn like this, he must have offered to support Zhang Feng, but he knew that his heart was dripping blood.

If Zhang Feng renews his contract with the highest salary, at least hundreds of millions of dollars will be gone, and if he is allowed to play for himself on a rookie contract, I don't know how much salary he will save.

Now that he is a cash cow, a smart businessman like Dolan will naturally not give up, at most it is a matter of spending more money.

In the end, David Stern directly asked these bosses, as well as the top management of the league, to vote on whether Zhang Feng should be given a maximum salary.

Soon the voting results came out, and it was still the majority who supported Zhang Feng to get the top salary.

"Since everyone supports Zhang Feng to get the top salary, this clause is called Zhang Feng's clause, and it is as much as FMVP to get MVP in the rookie season.

Of course, there are some details in it!!"

In the end, Stern officially passed the "Zhang Feng Clause" and announced it to major media fans as soon as possible.

Only Dolan saw that his heart was dripping blood all the time after he passed through.

At the end of the meeting, the NBA directly announced that the new "Zhang Feng Clause" was passed, as long as there is a rookie in his first season, he will get the MVP and FMVP and directly get the top salary.

Dolan then returned to the Knicks and called Zhang Feng into the office, and in addition to him, there were several senior team managers.

"Zhang Feng, it has just been released, and the treaty is named after you, do you know?"

Dolan sat in the boss's chair at this time and asked Zhang Feng in a friendly manner.

"I don't know about this yet, I've just appealed the contract to the league before, but I haven't told me the outcome of the appeal yet. "

Zhang Feng looked at Dolan with a confused expression, completely unaware of what was going on.

"It's that after you complained to the Alliance, the president took it very seriously. Called 30 team owners, as well as NBA executives, and finally decided that they were eligible to receive the maximum salary in their rookie season. "

Dolan briefly explained the content of the "Zhang Feng Clause" to Zhang Feng, and then took out a contract that had just been drafted from the drawer.

...

Zhang Feng's Clause: A contract for those who complete their rookie contract in the first round of the lottery and receive a three-year super-cap salary (about 35% of the team's salary cap).

Details:

1) Meet the conditions:

First: Top 3 picks in the first round!

Second: In the last contract season, he won the regular season MVP, FMVP, and started the All-Star Game, entered the best team in the league (several teams are OK), and led the team to the Finals. Meet the MVP, All-Star starter, best team, lead the team to the finals, two of the 4 items, you are eligible to apply to the team for [Zhang Feng Clause].

In particular, it is important to note that both of the above must be met in order to trigger the [Zhang Feng Clause].

For example, even if you win the regular season MVP and become an All-Star starter in the league for a while, you are not satisfied if you don't win the FMVP.

2) Content of the agreement:

In the next contract season, players can get a three-year contract.

The first year: 800w yuan + (1500-1999) w

Second year: 1000w USD + (2000-2399) W

3rd year: 1100w USD + (2400-2800) W

The contract fee before the plus sign is a guaranteed minimum, and the excess is a non-guaranteed salary, which can only be paid if the [Zhang Feng Clause] is met.

In addition, non-guaranteed remuneration is not included in the salary cap.

To put it simply, for example, the current Knicks' salary cap is 7000w yuan, and the remaining salary space is only 1000w yuan.

Zhang Feng only occupies 600w yuan, not 2600w

This rule is to avoid the rise of super newcomers, the team has to massively dismantle the star players of the original team.

................

"This is the salary contract I drew up for you, you can take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign it directly. "

Hand this contract to Zhang Feng to see.

The contract is all in English, but he has no problem reading it, and it is written on the key salary that it is a maximum salary of 100 million in five years.

"The Lakers Kobe Bryant just signed a seven-year, $136 million ultra-luxury contract, so don't think it's less, the maximum salary is only so much. "

Seeing Zhang Feng's hesitant eyes, Dolan couldn't help but explain, Zhang Feng's strength is much stronger than Kobe, but the league stipulates that the maximum salary can only get so much.

After reading it, Zhang Feng nodded to confirm that it was correct, and directly took the pen and signed his name on it.

The Knicks have finally completed their first signing, and Da Yao is on a rookie contract, so the Knicks only need to pay a small salary.

Mutombo renews his contract with the Knicks for two years and 10 million, and Da Yao still has time to rest when he plays center, and he can go up to the top for a while.

All other players are under contract and do not need to be signed.

After Zhang Feng signed his contract, it was a matter of preparing for the game.

Da Yao had already taken a plane to New York, and Zhang Feng was going to pick him up at the airport, after all, he still had to do his landlord's friendship.

After signing the contract, Dolan had already put half of his 100 million salary into the card first, and he drove himself to pick up Da Yao at the airport.

After arriving at the airport, I got off the bus and waited for Da Yao to come out, now Zhang Feng is too famous, and local fans can recognize him at a glance, and many fans want to sign and take photos.

After waiting for a long time, the most conspicuous person in the crowd was Da Yao, who was 226cm tall and he could see it at a glance.

At this time, he was alone with his suitcase, and Zhang Feng hurriedly went up to greet him.

In the Rockets game before, I also had a good relationship with Da Yao when I ate alone.

"Da Yao finally saw you, and I drove to pick you up. "

Zhang Feng took Da Yao outside the airport and got into his car, and the two of them felt very crowded when they got into the car, and Zhang Feng and Da Yao were only ten centimeters apart.

Soon after, he drove to the stadium and greeted his new teammates.

With Da Yao's help, he believes that he can still win the championship in the new season.

Da Yao and Zhang Feng practiced with several other Knicks teammates to familiarize him with his teammates' strength. _
