Super Role Player

Anxi and Abby got home on the front foot. Abby also went to the game site today, but as a reporter at the scene, Abby didn't have too many interview tasks.

Because the ESPN commentator Craig Sager of this game is a commentator who likes his own interviews, during the intermission of this game, Craig Sager personally interviewed Kevin McHale and Popovich , so Abby wasn't too busy.

Abby came back early, Anxi didn't go out to fool around, but fooled around at home, the mystery of which is unspeakable.

But at night, Anxi's phone rang suddenly after fooling around.

After picking it up in a daze, Anxi heard a familiar voice: "De Juan?"

Anxi sat up: "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing DeJuan Blair's introduction on the phone, Anxi sighed, and then glanced at Abby who had fallen asleep, Anxi said helplessly, "Okay, wait for me."

It turned out that DeJuan Blair, who was clubbing late at night, and the other three were arrested by the police station because of their fandom, and they are now waiting for bail in the police station.

DeJuan Blair called Anxi, and Anxi thought, he didn't know Blair that well, why did he call him, and he was puzzled.

But since the call came, Anxi had to go, but before going, Anxi still called Manu for advice. Should I tell Popovich about this? After all, this is not a small matter. Anxi I feel that the handling of this matter needs the guidance of the old man Manu.

"Ann, you don't need to tell Greg about this matter, he will always know about it, and I don't think you need to go to the police station to protect them yourself, so I will let my agent go."

So, Anxi didn't need to go anymore. The most important thing is that he just got dressed. You know, December is winter, and the clothes on his body are one by one. It is troublesome to put on, and it is also troublesome to take off...

But finally, there is no need to brave the cold winter wind to save DeJuan Blair and the three of them, and Anxi fell asleep again.

The next morning, Anxi got up early, and someone once asked: Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning? Anxi Hui: No, but I have seen San Antonio at four o'clock in the morning.

Yes, Anxi wakes up at four o'clock in the morning, wakes up early, goes to bed early, and is full of energy.

Anxi started training early,

Then it was time to go to the training hall.

The atmosphere in the training hall after the game is always not enthusiastic, but today's training hall, the atmosphere is even worse, almost everyone is silent, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal incident happened.

After a while, Popovich walked in, followed by DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal. Obviously, Popovich had just talked to these two people.

"Okay, let me announce that for the rest of December, DeJuan and Gary will be suspended from the team."

Popovich announced the decision calmly, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal had no expressions on their faces, and Anxi was still wondering that he didn't feel depressed at all after being suspended.

It was later that Anxi found out that DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal's incident with the Spurs had already violated the Spurs' ban. Popovich must have talked to them and was about to trade them.

The team started a day of training, and R.C. Buford also came to the training hall.

"Greg, what, do you really want to trade?" Buford cut to the chase. "De Juan and Gary are in good condition and strength?"

Popovich just returned to the office, and he sat down in his boss chair: "So what? They are no longer suitable for staying in San Antonio. San Antonio does not need such players, and from a competitive point of view, they are not that important. .”

Buford then nodded: "Okay, I will get in touch as soon as possible."

Popovich raised his head: "By the way, how is Anxi's contract renewal going?"

Speaking of this, Buford frowned: "It's not going well, their asking price is a bit high."

"How tall?" Popovich lit a cigar.

"The amount of the contract in the first two years was about the same. Because of the Arenas clause, the starting salary was only 5 million. But in the third year, that Ivor Clark killed 15 million, and he was unwilling to give up a single point. I didn’t let go, and killed the average annual price of 7 million.”

"15 million..." Popovich knocked on the table. Judging from the current market price, this price is indeed expensive. If Anxi really takes this contract, in the third year, it will basically be the highest salary in the Spurs. Popovich tapped the table and began to wonder if Anxi was worth it.

The contract proposed by Ivo Clark is considered a poison contract during this time period. The Rockets' Jeremy Lin and Asik signed this contract, so it is no wonder that Popovich and Buford hesitated. As for the three-year average annual contract of 5 million proposed by Buford, Popovich also felt that it was a bit low.

"Three years...three years..." Popovich suddenly raised his head: "Robert, the contract amount is too high, I'm afraid we can't give it. In this way, we can accept the price within three years of 21 million."

21 million in three years, so the amount in the last year will be around 9 million. This price is still acceptable for the Spurs. If Anxi really gets a contract of 10 million, it will damage the salary system of the Spurs. You know, After Duncan re-signed, his annual salary was only 10 million. But now in the Spurs, Popovich thinks that he will be better than Anxi in three years, Leonard is one, and Parker is also one.

Anxi will get 10 million or more, so how much will Parker, who is at the peak, and Leonard, who is gradually reaching the peak, get? When Duncan is old, should the Spurs sign up?

Popovich's considerations are all right, but none of them thought about the skyrocketing wages in the future. After all, it is only 2012, and there is no sign of skyrocketing wages. Even the Thunder just gave up James Harden because of the maximum salary issue. If Anxi The asking price is too high, and the Spurs will definitely choose to give up.

After all, the Spurs, like the Thunder, are teams from small cities.

The renewal of Anxi's contract was decided by Popovich, but not long after the decision was made, Ivo Clark faced the final offer from the Spurs and directly chose to reject it.

In the third year, it was only 9 million. This amount was too low. In the case of Iwo Clark's various horizontal comparisons, the amount of 9 million was indeed a little low.

As a result, Anxi's contract renewal was put on hold. For the Spurs, the bottom line of 9 million is also very important. As for Anxi, he doesn't ask for a maximum salary, and at least an annual salary of tens of millions is required. If Anxi enters the free market, Anxi is sure to have a team that bids tens of millions.

In fact, this is no longer a question of money, but a question of the status of the team. (To be continued.)
