"Write on this how much you want, and we'll get this done right away, okay?"

The New York Knicks are part of the Madison Square Garden Company, which in turn is a subsidiary of Gulf and Western Industries Inc.

As the president of MSG, Jack Kruger is a regional leader.

He came to negotiate a contract renewal with Louis, which was considered the highest level of negotiation.

As a result, Kruger had no plans to "quarrel", and his posture was unimaginably low, asking Louis to fill in the number he wanted on the blank check.

"Jack, although I know you want to keep me, why don't you talk about something else?" Louie asked. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Kruger has been frightened these days.

Louie was rumored to have an affair with Paul Allen again, and he was photographed having dinner with Jerry Buss, both of which are well-placed.

Thinking of Louie's character that likes to challenge again, if he thinks that there is no challenge in New York, will he change jobs?

It's not impossible. Who would leave Boston in 1984?

So Krueger felt that it was useless to talk too much, negotiated the contract, and Louie signed his name in a hurry to ensure that Louie would be a Knicks person in the next few years and die a ghost of the Knicks, that’s enough.

"We have no differences and we are happy to work together," Kruger said cheerfully. "It's actually a matter of numbers. You still have everything, but we'll give you more money."

If you think about it, it really is.

Louie has got all the power, it's really just a matter of numbers.

However, his agent, Marcel Thielen, had other ideas: "Mr. Kruger, Louie wants to stay in New York, but the conditions you put forward have no advantages over Portland and Los Angeles."

Krueger hummed: "I don't care how much Portland and Los Angeles offer, I'll give you 150% of the highest bid."

"It's not about the money." Thielen is very professional, he knows that staying in New York is beneficial to both parties, but he wants to help Louis get more, "Of course we want to establish a long-term relationship with New York, and Louis also hopes that himself To be the Reed Auerbach of New York."

Kruger decisively sent a rainbow fart: "He already is!"

"But he's not the team president yet."

"It's not the president of the operations department. In fact, the president of the Knicks basketball operations department has been vacant. I think the two titles of president and chairman are more than the general manager. Louie wants."

Marcel Thielen's proposal, beyond the expectations of Kruger and Louis.

Louis' face didn't change, but his heart was slightly moved.

Yes, compared to the two positions of president and chairman, the general manager is sometimes more like a front desk doll.

Like the Celtics, Jane Walker has been the team's general manager since 1984, but both the president of operations and the team's chairman are Auerbach.

Nominally Auerbach stepped back into the background, but in reality, he was the one who made the decisions.

Kruger is the president of MSG. Even if Louie becomes the president of the operations department and the chairman of the team, he is still his subordinate, so there is no change, but Louie has changed from one person and two positions to one person and four positions.

...The head coach, general manager, president, and team chairman are all in one, isn't this Auerbach?

And, if Lou wants to, he can sign four contracts and receive four salaries.

Kruger did not hesitate. Since Louis can be a good general manager, he can naturally be a good president of the operations department.

The 28-year-old president of basketball operations... can be said to be unprecedented, and it will be difficult to return.

"Lu, I will let you know how much I want to keep you." Krueger said affirmatively, "You will be our head coach, general manager, president, team president, as long as you want, you will get it.”

"Wait, Jack." Louie laughed, "If I become the president of the basketball operations department, the position of the general manager will be given to someone else."

Kruger smiled: "You are the president, you decide."

Two days later, the Knicks released a news that shook the league.

First they announced: "'LeaderLu' will be leaving as general manager."

This makes people think that Louis will once again leave a team of champions to seek challenges elsewhere.

However, within a few minutes, the Knicks announced again: "'LeaderLu' will become the second president of basketball operations in the history of the Knicks."

Then, the Knicks announced one after another like a machine gun.

"'LeaderLu' successfully signed a multi-year extension with the Knicks."

"'Leader Lu' will be the team president of the Knicks."

"Elgin Baylor will take over as general manager."

It looks like something has changed, but nothing has changed.

Baylor changed from deputy to full-time, but still worked under Louis. He would become Louis' Jane Walker.

And Louis, at the age of 28, became the head coach, president and team chairman of a team unprecedentedly.

Dave Anderson of The New York Times revealed that Louie and the Knicks signed one of the largest coaching and management contracts ever.

No one knows how big his president contract is.

The coaching contract is an unprecedented six-year $12 million.

Even compared to the players, this is a max salary.

Compared with other coaches, in the era when the top coach of the current generation gets 500,000 a year, he gets 2 million a year.

It's like Jordan's annual salary of 30 million in 1997, and the league's second highest salary Ewing's annual salary "only" 18 million US dollars. Some people are unique.

What's more, he also serves as the team's president and chairman, and these two positions require additional contracts.

Louie's president's contract and the team's president's contract are put together.

This contract is not public, and there are some bonus clauses set up at the same time.

The full contract is 6 years and 10 million US dollars, but if Louis fails to meet the standard, the guaranteed amount is only 6 million.

However, even if it is 6 million, in this era when the average salary of the top management does not exceed 500,000, his salary is still enviable.

Many people see sour in their eyes.

Even if you have an opinion, don't dare to say it.

Because Louie is not a bubble, he did not blow it out, the president of MSG is not a fool, and the family does not print money.

Louie proved his ability to earn that much.

Louie's unprecedented big contract overshadowed the signing of Tom Chambers.

As the biggest free agent in the first year of free agency, his whereabouts affects the hearts of many people.

There are currently two teams leading the way.

The Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz.

The Suns were in better geography, but Chambers ultimately opted to sign with the Jazz.

Because the Suns have too many players in the same position, the competition is fierce, and the Jazz, on the other hand, moves like a machine with the offense he appreciates, and his athleticism can help this team take off.

Chambers signed with the Jazz, making Utah an official offseason winner.

The news of Chambers' signing had just shocked Louie, and the news of K.C. Jones' dismissal made him unable to sit still.

What happened to K.C was the reason why Louis left the Celtics at that time.

Even if he led the team to three consecutive championships, no one thinks how strong his coaching ability is.

In his position, not winning three consecutive championships is the "real" ability.

After K.C was out of class, Louis contacted him as soon as possible and wanted to help, such as asking him to work in New York.

But K.C didn't want to work under his former subordinates.

Moreover, Louis chose to break with Boston in order to arouse the blood of the team in the Eastern Conference finals, which is unacceptable to him.

There were still lumps in his heart, but he politely rejected Louis, expressing that he wanted to rest for a while.

On July 4, the Knicks recruited the director of scouting.

This position can be directly regarded as the manager of all scouts under the Knicks operating department. This is Louie's idea. The Knicks are also the only team in the league to set up a scouting director position.

Among all the candidates, there is a striking name, which makes Louis unforgettable.

That man is R.C. Buford, and anyone who knows the Spurs should know him.

Louie interviewed him for one round, felt no problem, and passed.

Others, like the Trail Blazers franchise completing a change on the NBA board, Paul Allen officially becoming the Trail Blazers owner, and Larry Brown returning to the NBA from the NCAA, signed by the Spurs on a five-year, $3.5 million deal The news was not taken seriously by Louis.

All he really values ​​is negotiations between the league and the players union.

The negotiation lasted for more than a year, and there was a lot of unpleasantness between the two sides. In the past year, the union filed an anti-monopoly lawsuit against the alliance again.

Their actions are not to bring down the alliance, but to put pressure on them.

Players are greedy for cable TV contracts, and the league is unwilling to push the union too hard, because next year will start a new round of TV broadcast contract negotiations. If there is a shutdown, it will be detrimental to the negotiations.

Conflicts are inevitable in such large-scale negotiations, but they will eventually make concessions and compromises with each other.

On July 10, the union and the union reached a new round of collective bargaining agreement.

The owners agreed to share the cable TV broadcast revenue with the players in a ratio of 50 to 50. As a condition of reaching this consensus, the union agreed to cover the rising rookie contracts and let the league introduce standard rookie contracts~www.readwn .com~ to curb the habit of rookies charging sky-high prices.

At this point, an era that symbolized the past, and the quarrels, negotiations, threats, and conflicts between the team and its own rookies over the contract amount occurred every summer, and it ended.

A new era has quietly come. This era is more professional, more systematic and more commercial.

Unbeknownst to Louie, his suggestion at the annual meeting allowed the standard rookie contract to land in the league seven years early.

Of course, it will be somewhat regrettable. For example, the big dog who is clamoring for not signing a contract without a 100 million contract is bound to be impossible to sign such a large contract again. It's also a pity for me personally, I couldn't play tricks at that time.

Don't you think that Big Dog, who claims to not sign a contract without paying $100 million, is strikingly similar to Suzu Honjo, who claims to be a virgin who will not make his debut without 10,000 bookings?

For Louie, this year's collective bargaining agreement is in their favor.

It's important for them to share the cable contract with the players, which is to expand the existing salary cap.

Over the past few years, they have been overwhelmed by Ewing's contract, and now, they are gradually coming back.
