Leave Los Angeles and return to Charlotte.

After Li Ke rested for a few days, he returned to the breakfast club with the intensity of the regular season.

The team's pre-season training camp will also start in a few days.

The Bobcat Training Hall is getting old, and Lao Qiao was originally planning to use some of the revenue from the previous season to repair the training hall.

As a result, at the team's shareholders' meeting, Robert Johnson rejected the proposal in one sentence.

The reason is: instead of spending millions of dollars to repair the old training hall now, it is better to keep the money and prepare to build a new training hall.

Old Joe didn't believe it, but because of Robert Johnson's equity, he could veto it with just one word, but he could only regard it as a believer.

Afterwards, no one mentioned the idea of ​​building a new training hall again.

Old Joe knew that Robert Johnson rejected the renovation of the training hall just to let him know who is the major shareholder of Bobcats.

Whenever this happens, Old Joe will strongly want to buy out the remaining 70% of the Bobcat equity that Robert Johnson still holds tightly in his hand.

He also asked about the price, but Robert Johnson was willing to negotiate, but then he offered a sky-high price.

Although Lao Qiao is rich, he really wants to pay this sky-high price. He is the famous fool in this alliance.

He didn't expect that the reputation that had just improved a lot was back in silly, so he had to give up the buyout and let Robert Johnson continue to disgust himself.

To be honest, Li Ke can also understand Robert Johnson's behavior of not selling the remaining 70% of the shares he has.

When the Bobcats are rising extremely, selling these 70% of their shares is the stupidest way to do it.

As for the veto repair the training hall...you know, after going to Ji Lanmao to the end, he only made about 10,000 US dollars.

If the training hall is repaired, it will not be much left if it will make a profit in the end.

Don’t think about dividends or something.

If they didn't spend this money, they could still share a little bit. The investment in Bobcats over the years has been considered to have recovered some of them.

"After all, Robert Johnson is greedy, and he feels he hasn't made enough money!"

Li Ke didn't want to care about the dispute between the team's shareholders, but he keenly smelled it. Perhaps in the near future, Robert Johnson would cheat Lao Qiao.

Li Ke's lynx career may end...

...

On the first day of the training camp, Li Ke, who had just finished the breakfast club, was pulled away by Old Joe, who had just started working.

When I arrived at the office and saw David Falke, Li Ke realized that-

"It's time to talk about renewal."

That's right, Lao Qiao decided to discuss a contract extension with Li Ke early, and anyway, it would have to be renewed early and late.

Li Ke also simply asked Lao Qiao directly: "Okay, renewal, it's actually very simple. You just need to tell me whether you are willing to give me a maximum salary!"

These days, the super giants did not renew their contracts at the maximum salary, but instead reduced them to a reasonable range to renew their contracts, which is also a regular operation.

The main reason is that the salary cap and luxury tax line are not high at this time, but the maximum salary is ridiculously high.

This led to the kg contract renewal of the Timberwolves at a sky-high price, which led to the lack of outstanding teammates in the following years. Not to mention the championship, the playoffs were very dangerous.

However, in recent years, there have been many huge contracts renewed at maximum salary, mainly because the new labor-management agreement is approaching, and players are urgently in need of salary increases. In this case, the current maximum salary is not outrageously high.

For example, Brandon Roy, who renewed his contract with the Trail Blazers this summer, signed a maximum salary contract with a starting salary of $13.52 million for five years, with a total value of $82 million. His salary in the last year is already higher than $20 million.

You know, this year's salary cap is only $58 million, and Roy will occupy more than $20 million in four years, which is still very scary.

After Li Ke asked this, Lao Qiao was a little hesitant.

His mind was full of his mind that he wanted to renew his contract with Li Ke in advance. When it was time to renew his contract, he was really a little confused about whether to pay the maximum salary or not.

However, David Falke was more direct than Li Ke: "Don't hesitate to Michael, it's not that he is the maximum salary, we won't sign!"

Li Ke raised his hands, meaning that this was not what he said.

To be honest, after he sold wechat shares and earned more than 18 billion US dollars, it didn't matter if he didn't have the maximum salary.

He can accept it if he really learns that the driver will cut his salary and renew his contract.

David Falke told Li Ke: "Don't think about reducing salary. Now in the league, salary equals status!"

Salary equals status...so!

So, the hesitant Lao Qiao and the indifferent Li Ke were persuaded by a third party.

"Then according to the maximum salary this year, players with less than seven years of age can only have a starting salary of $13.52 million..."

In other words, Li Ke will sign a maximum salary contract that is roughly similar to Roy.

However, in terms of age, it still needs to be discussed.

"Starting salary of $1,352, five years of contract, fifth year player option..."

While Old Joe was talking, David Falke waved his hand: "No, I won't sign for five years."

Li Ke followed David Falke and nodded, and he also believed that he could not sign for five years.

If Robert Johnson didn't make trouble and had no player option for five years, he would be willing to sign.

But now, this contract extension is better to be more flexible.

"Four years of signing, fourth year player option, totaling $65 million in four years..."

Old Qiao frowned, obviously hesitating, and maybe even suspicious.

After all, with Lebang, Wade and others in front, Lebang, Wade and Bosh are all rookies with a contract of 31, and then they jumped out and joined forces.

The Raptors are fine, but the Heat have suffered a heavy blow.

The Bobcats, which are smaller than the Heat in the market, have to be very cautious.

David Falke smiled and said, "Don't think of Michael too much, do you think I'm a breaking rule? Do you think Sheldon is?"

Neither David Falke nor Li Ke, Lebang, Wade and Bosh are, a very simple judgment.

Old Qiao quickly made a decision: "Okay, just 31!"
Chapter completed!
