On the Goupu forum's rumor board, under the post about the Clippers renewing Randolph's contract in advance, most of the fans were inexplicably surprised.
"Are the Clippers crazy? They've only played a few games and they want to renew Randolph's contract? Is Randolph the general manager's biological son?"
"This is not his biological son, he feels like his biological father. He was originally supposed to be sent away, but not only did he stay, but he also renewed his contract in advance. I have never seen such treatment."
"The Clippers have never experienced the poison of rotten tofu, and they want to continue to spread this poison. Do they really hope that Randolph will turn around?"
"Randolph played a few good games and got a four-year contract. It's really worth it. Is the Clippers management on top?"
Zhang Gongzi, a well-known big V blogger in Goupu, quickly posted a message saying that he was not optimistic about this early contract renewal:
"The Clippers led a series of farces in the summer, and it seems that there are signs of recovery. However, this early contract extension is likely to destroy the good momentum the team has just established. They are a little too anxious. Randolph's contract year is , it’s not too late to give him a contract after he performs well. Now the bad tofu has a reason to continue to be bad. The 4-year contract may be a turning point for the Clippers this season. This turning point comes too early. Some, the Clippers front office never disappoints."
Mr. Zhang was not optimistic about Randolph in the past, and he liked to make up jokes about Randolph to mock this cancerous player with a loose style.
Now the Clippers have extended their contract in advance, and it is beyond everyone's expectations. If they renew their contract in advance at the beginning of the season, he must have a negative attitude.
Min Congda was sitting in the general manager's office of Staples, browsing the Goupu forum on the computer. He saw that the fans above couldn't understand the contract extension and said they were not optimistic about it. He felt very good.
"Haha, this contract extension is indeed very timely. It gives Randolph reassurance, and it also gives me reassurance. Fatty Lan, don't stop grinding data and digging hard on the inside. Take good care of your health and relax." one time!"
Min Congda is a resolute and decisive person who does what he says.
Yesterday, he got a revelation from Goupu.com and this morning he directly contacted Randolph's agent by phone and told him that he wanted to renew his contract in advance.
Randolph's agent Blazes couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news. He had only played a few games in the new season and was about to renew his contract in advance?
Generally speaking, early contract renewal is given to superstars in the team, especially young and potential superstars. If you are worried that they will be jacked up or robbed after they pay a higher price, you can simply renew the contract in advance to benefit both parties. Take reassurance.
Randolph is an All-Star, far from a superstar, and he has little potential to tap, and he also has cancerous attributes.
Next year is the last year of his long contract, which is a team option. Most teams will choose not to execute the last year of the contract.
If Randolph wants to get a new long-term contract, he must perform excellently this year. Judging from the games at the beginning of the season, he has made a good start.
But it’s just the beginning, and the Clippers directly presented the award? Isn't it too fast?
But Min Congda's tone was very firm and he was not joking at all. Blazes also knew that the new Clippers general manager would always do amazing things.
Originally, Randolph was going to be traded away, but he kept him unexpectedly. Now he has to renew his contract in advance. It seems that he is very optimistic about Randolph.
Blazes immediately informed Randolph by phone. Randolph was also confused when he received the news. Recently, he is quitting drinking, exercising more, calming down and starting to devote himself to the game seriously.
He wanted to change his mind, play basketball again, and become a good player, but this damn good result came too fast?
Could it be that Smart saw through my change of heart and new life? He wants to give me reassurance and let me concentrate on playing basketball?
Randolph was very moved and immediately called back to Min Congda, who informed him to come to the team headquarters immediately to sign the contract and the contract was ready.
The two parties had a simple discussion in the conference room. It was 71 million for four years. The last year was a team option. The average annual salary was 17 million US dollars. It was not the maximum salary, but it was a very good offer for Randolph.
Without further ado, Randolph happily signed the contract, and then the Clippers' media department announced that the Clippers had renewed Randolph's contract ahead of schedule.
As soon as the news came out, there was controversy.
Although the Clippers have a good record recently, Randolph's performance is even more eye-catching.
But everyone knows about the contract year. How many people work hard for a new contract.
Turn laziness into hard work, sloppiness into concentration, perform proactively on the court, collect as many data as possible, and you can perform for a season.
When the new contract is obtained, he can hang out for another three or four years, and his true colors will be revealed. He clocks in and out of get off work every day, goes to bars and nightclubs at night, and waits for the next contract year to continue acting. Anyway, there will always be people who are deceived.
For example, the New York Knicks took advantage of Jerome James, who only played a decent playoff series, but the Knicks paid him a five-year, 60 million contract.
Now I just sit on the bench every day counting money, playing for a few minutes in each game, and mixing up a few statistics. It is estimated that I will not have to play in another two years and will be collecting pensions.
There is also the famous second center in the West, Eric Dampier, who broke out in the contract year with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks. Cuban was so jealous that he won a 7-year, 73 million long-term contract.
Now, he is still the second center, not even the second-rate center. He can barely be considered a qualified starter. He plays a few points and rebounds in each game and earns an annual salary of tens of millions. How happy he is.
These are bloody lessons learned in recent years. Experts have given this phenomenon a name, contract year syndrome.
It just reminds the management that in the future, players who encounter such explosive data in contract years must be more cautious and not be fooled by the outstanding performance in front of them. They must carefully weigh how much water there is in it.
But these players with contract year syndrome have to perform for a whole season and get good data to win the favor of the management.
Randolph was doing well. After six good games, Min Congda waved his hand and offered him a 70 million contract.
No one in the management raised objections. Whether it was Rosser or Olshey, they all nodded in agreement with Min Congda's operation.
According to Clippers insiders, Smart Min is the master of the Clippers and can do whatever he wants.
Boss Sterling has not appeared in the team for a long time. Some people even suspect that Sterling has been eliminated and is now just a puppet to replace him, completely controlled by Min Congda.
Within a day of the contract renewal news being released, all kinds of negative comments came flooding in. What:
"Another bad contract was born", "Smart Min has shown his flaws, he is still essentially a clown".
"The Clippers had just a hint of recovery, but they were immediately crushed by this contract."
"There are many big fish in the free market in 2010, and this contract will lock up the Clippers' operating space. I bet this operation will be selected as one of the worst operations of the year."
Min Congda was naturally very proud when he saw these comments.
In order to praise his wisdom, he decided to go to ONLY bar for a drink with the four kings of wine, sex, wealth and wealth in the evening, and have a good meeting with the heroines there!
