The Rest, Only Noise

"The rest, only noise new( Find the latest chapter!

As usual, Louie will have to find an agent and talk to the Celtics about his new contract.

Auerbach is someone who wants to take the initiative, so he started negotiations before Louie even signed an agent.

"We're all so familiar, do we need to talk?" Louis said politely, "I believe you'll offer me a fair price, and I'll be able to sign it after a look."

Auerbach couldn't even believe the pauses between his words, "Sure, come on."

Auerbach handed over the proposed contract to Louis.

It's a four-year contract.

The amount made Louis frown.

360,000 in 4 years.

And, it says, signing this contract immediately voids several of his previous contracts with the Celtics.

"How about it, can you sign it if you think it's okay?"

Louis put down the contract and said grimly, "I don't think so."

"Where can't it be?"

"360,000 in 4 years, Reed, is there a problem with this number?" Louie pointed to the amount and smiled, "Now that the average salary of coaches in the league has reached $200,000, is there a problem with the team's economic situation?"

"There is indeed a problem."

"Mr Mandrian decided to sell the team," Auerbach said.

"why?"

"He had a conflict with the operator of the garden."

"The conflict between them must involve millions and tens of millions, but what does this have to do with my contract?" Louis pushed the contract back to Auerbach, "I have a hard time accepting this contract, it's far lower The market price is not in line with my worth.”

"Your worth?"

"OK."

A minute ago, Louie, who kept saying, "Just look at it and sign it," took out the faxes sent to him by other teams.

And he deliberately marked the number of contract amounts offered by each team.

The Knicks' 700,000 made Auerbach's eyes wide open.

Then there is the Lakers' 500,000, Philadelphia's 450,000... Looking at it all the way, there is no contract that has a bid lower than the Celtics' 360,000.

"How much do you want?" Auerbach asked, putting down the fax.

"On the basis of this contract in New York?"

"Impossible!" Auerbach said, "I can't give you such a big contract who has never coached!"

His stingy appearance made Louis helpless.

What is such a big contract? Even according to the Knicks contract, it only reached the minimum standard of the average market price.

"If you are unwilling to offer me a big contract because of my lack of resume, then I have an immature idea."

"tell me the story."

"500,000 in 2 years, don't worry, just listen to me."

Auerbach was just about to roar, because the 2-year 500,000 annual salary is bigger than the contract the Knicks gave Louis.

"500,000 in 2 years, but the guarantee amount is only 300,000, and the remaining 200,000, you can set some conditions, I must meet those conditions to get the number I want, so it is fair to you and me. Of course, you can't set conditions that are impossible to accomplish."

Auerbach thought it over seriously. Although he wanted to undercut Louis' price, he knew that this kid couldn't back down on the money issue.

Morality aside, for a little money.

The conditions proposed by Louis are feasible in Auerbach's view, so he set two conditions for Louis.

If the Celtics play the league's first record, he can get an extra $50,000, and if the Celtics win the championship, he can get the full $250,000 annual salary.

Louis had no objection, but he made another request that made Auerbach curse again.

"I hope this is a 1+1 contract that gives me the right to opt out of this contract next summer."

"Don't give a fuck!" Auerbach snarled, "I can give you more money, but you can't go around, if someone gives you a bigger contract tomorrow, are you going to jump out and negotiate with me? ?"

Auerbach's reaction Louis is conceivable.

He is calm.

"Reed, if I really lead the team to the league's first record, is this contract right for me now?" Louie asked gently.

Louie obviously doesn't have an agent, but he has caused more trouble for Auerbach than some agents.

He wants money and a controllable future.

"If you want to jump out of the clause because of this, then you should bind this clause to the other two clauses! Only when the other two clauses are reached can you activate this clause."

Auerbach never saw Louie as a toy he could hold, and he knew they couldn't sign him without an exit clause.

However, as soon as he said the words, he regretted it.

"That's it." Louis is confident as if next year's championship has fallen into his palm, "Get out the new contract quickly, I can't wait to sign it."

Auerbach quickly got Jane Walker out on a new contract.

Louis picked up the contract and read it over and over for half an hour, mulling over each paragraph carefully.

"What are you looking at, sign it quickly!" Auerbach felt more and more loathsome for this kid.

Just like before 1979, he thought every day that Bird could join the team as soon as possible, but when his agent made an offer of 1 million annual salary, he just wanted to kill him and his agent and feed the dog.

Maybe only 0.0000001% of people can keep their face in front of money.

Looking at it this way, it is a remarkable and unrealistic thing for Wang Duoyu to give up 10 billion in order to know a four-eyed Taiwanese girl who is mediocre for a month.

"Spencer Haywood's lessons are there. I can't suffer the same loss."

Louis was very satisfied after reading it.

"It's so comforting not to see something like splitting my salary in half and giving the other half to me when I'm 100."

"You really treat me with all my heart, Reed."

Auerbach was so angry that he nearly choked on the cigar in his mouth.

"Stop talking nonsense, sign your name and **** off!"

After checking the contract and finding no problems, Louis happily signed his name on it.

Next, Volcker asked Louis and Auerbach to laugh. Because signing a contract has to be signed with a smile.

Louie smiled, and it was evident that he was delighted from within, and Auerbach's smile had a different meaning - "I'd love to **** this bastard" - if you know him well enough, you can read out this meaning.

"Today, the venerable championship team ushered in a new era - they signed 23-year-old 'Little Lu' to lead the team as Celtic's new head coach.

Born in Hong Kong as Louie, LittleLu came to the United States with his family when he was three years old...Although he is young, he has a great reputation in the professional basketball circle and is known for always finding quality rookies . Begins as Bill Fitch's assistant coach in 1980~www.readwn.com~ In the legendary 1981 Eastern Conference finals, he contributed key strategies that Reed Auerbach relished in helping the Celtics Won the lost O'Brien Cup for 3 years.

He's a top-notch scout, a great assistant, and considering he's only 23 years old, he's got as good a future as a top-three pick. He temporarily served as the Celtics' acting coach in this year's Eastern Conference finals, leading the team to two wins and one loss, allowing the Celtics to leave the playoffs with dignity.

Now that the Celtics have signed him, Auerbach expects him to reshape the ancient dynasty.

Boston is waiting.

And LittleLu just said: 'I want this team to be what it should be. ’”
