Chapter 420: Chapter 139: When the Noise Dies Down (6000-word Chapter, pleading for subscriptions and monthly votes!)_4
Because given Davis’s current market value, when his contract expires next season, where can’t he easily secure a big contract with an annual salary over ten million?
Even though Qin Yue had long decided never to partake in the glory-basketball...
But considering Davis still has a few seasons of burn left, Qin Yue believes the retirement contract Davis wants isn’t too expensive.
Moreover, if the Warriors aren’t willing to give Davis even such a retirement contract, how can Qin Yue still believe...
The Warriors have the desire to continue competing with other teams in the future?
So, after patting Davis on the shoulder, Qin Yue said, "In the next negotiation, you can convey my attitude to the team management, you are an indispensable member of the Warriors in my mind."
Upon hearing this, Davis, who received Qin Yue’s support, was overjoyed and said, "In terms of contribution to the team, I know no one dares to claim first besides you, but I knew you definitely wouldn’t overlook my sacrifices and contributions to the team."
Then, Artest also found Qin Yue at the party.
"My current contract will expire together with your rookie contract," Artest told Qin Yue.
Qin Yue said, "So?"
Artest pondered and said, "I’ll speak frankly, these two seasons, I’ve made significant contributions to the Warriors’ championship wins. I don’t dare to expect a max contract like yours, but after my contract expires, the Warriors should at least show a little appreciation on my current salary."
"How much appreciation do you want?"
"I want a new contract starting at no less than 8 million US Dollars."
million US Dollars.
Considering Artest’s ability to switch between the three and four positions, and his defensive capabilities that would still contribute to the team even if God took back his offensive talents...
This is also a retirement contract that isn’t too expensive.
"Have you approached the team management about this?" Qin Yue asked.
"I have, they said your contract renewal is the top priority next. But I just wanted a promise, I didn’t expect they wouldn’t even give me a verbal promise," Artest said with a frustrated face.
Qin Yue knew very well that the Warriors’ outfit group wasn’t entirely controlled by Mulin.
However, in handling the contract renewals of Davis and Artest, he still couldn’t understand why the Warriors’ management’s attitude was so cold.
You know, Mulin previously told me that if necessary...
Kohan is willing to pay some luxury tax for the team.
Now the question arises.
Was Mulin lying before, or has Kohan never intended to pay luxury tax for the team?
"Rest assured, in the future, I will definitely stand by your side, for now, just enjoy your vacation." After patting Artest on the shoulder, Qin Yue said this.
And after the championship parade, Warriors president Lowell, who successively rejected Davis’s contract renewal request and Artest’s verbal promise, immediately plunged into busy work.
Unlike the general manager Mulin, who solely serves Qin Yue.
Lowell has always been very clear about his position.
Since the team owner Kohan already has the idea of selling the team, what Lowell needs to consider, naturally, is how to retain Qin Yue for the Warriors while saving as much money as possible for Kohan.
Therefore, for this reason, Lowell did not hesitate to use the information gap between him and other members of the Warriors to turn Davis and Artest into vampires intent only on demanding large contracts.
Lowell is well aware that in the 07/08 season, the Warriors will still be that Warriors.
But with the Messiah clause about to be released, the Warriors’ rebuild is something that must be put on the agenda.
Mulin, who puts too much emphasis on emotions, in Lowell’s view, as long as the Warriors can retain the Messiah, then this team will inevitably sell for a good price in the future.
As for those mercenaries?
When Chris Cohan sells the team, what do those mercenaries have to do with him Lowell?
