"Draymond, I'm here to negotiate with you on behalf of the team's top management. This time I tell you seriously that the owners and shareholders are very dissatisfied with your performance... Of course, considering that you have given the ball If the team has brought help, they are willing to give you a chance..."
"This is the team's newly drafted contract. Take a look at it first! This is the team management's final bottom line. If you are unwilling to accept it, then I will leave now... The team will not accept any Threats to players..."
At Draymond Green's home, team general manager Bob Myers sat at the table with the team's legal staff to negotiate.
The atmosphere between the two sides was not tense. On the contrary, Draymond Green looked bad, while Bob Myers and others looked very passive.
Regarding the contract handed over by Bob Myers, Draymond Green took it indifferently. After reading it carefully for a while, his eyes finally fell on the amount filled in the contract.
"$82 million over five years?"
Draymond Green frowned slightly and seemed dissatisfied with the price.
"If you calculate it like this...the average is only 16.4 million per year?"
"Klay's current contract is more than 15 million, why should he give me this little money? Is this my only value?"
After Draymond Green finished speaking, the face of team general manager Bob Myers gradually turned cold.
"Draymond, are you sure?"
"The team has been very sincere. If you insist that this is inappropriate, then I think... I really have nothing to say..."
Seeing that Draymond Green was still showing off and not responding, Bob Myers finally couldn't help it, got up and walked outside with the team's legal staff.
Draymond Green didn't take it seriously at first, but soon after discovering that Bob Myers was serious, Draymond Green quickly got up.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bob Myers, and the "fucked" expression on his face was replaced by a smile.
"Mr. Bob, wait a minute."
"I was just joking..."
Bob Myers was a little angry when he heard Draymond Green say this, "Are you kidding? Do you think the team's current situation is a time to joke? Draymond, don't think that the Warriors can't survive without you. , the team can spend 20 million to sign any star..."
If these words had been said before, Draymond Green might have been angry, but this time, Draymond Green was still smiling.
"Mr. Bob, I understand that the Warriors need me very much now... Although I am not so satisfied with the price you gave me, it is not unacceptable to me. I just have a few conditions... ..”
"What conditions?"
Seeing that Draymond Green had given in, Bob Myers finally softened his tone.
"First, my contract extension with the team must wait until the end of the season to be announced!"
When Draymond Green said this, the team's general manager Bob Myers couldn't help but chuckle, "So you guys are also afraid of the fans' public criticism. I thought you didn't care about anything! "
The reason why Draymond Green said this is actually very clear.
If fans know that he is blackmailing the team because of his contract, then his already bad reputation will naturally become even worse.
If your reputation is too bad, it will also cause great damage to your own image. If it is bad enough, it will even affect your future commercial value.
This is what Draymond Green cannot accept.
"The second point is that the team cannot cause trouble for me because of my absence from the game... This matter can be written off..."
This one didn't surprise Bob Myers.
"no problem!"
"I promise you everything!"
"But the premise is that you can't miss any more games before the end of the season, and you must follow the team's arrangements..."
"good."
Draymond Green nodded and added, "I have one last request."
"besides?"
"I hope the team recognizes my tactical status and value. In the next few years, the team must ensure my starting and core status..."
This time Bob Myers did not agree in a hurry, but stood there and hesitated for a while.
After a moment, he said to Draymond Green, "You have to earn your team status by yourself. If you can insist on playing better, then I believe you will continue to maintain your position without me guaranteeing it." The core position of the team will not change..."
"If you think you can relax unscrupulously after signing a contract, then I don't think you can stay with the Warriors forever, even if it's a five-year contract..."
This time it was Draymond Green's turn to be silent.
However, after a few minutes, he seemed to have figured it out and took the initiative to extend his hand to Bob Myers.
"Mr. Bob, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the next five years!"
Bob Myers reached out and responded.
In this way, Draymond Green's contract issue was finally resolved. The Golden State Warriors officially announced the return of Draymond Green that evening.
"Draymond had some family matters that required him to leave. We did not inform everyone in time. We are deeply sorry for this..."
"But this time, Draymond has settled his personal matters, and he will appear again in the last game... There are not many opportunities left for the Warriors, and we will not let it pass. The mistake happened again..."
Team general manager Bob Myers took the initiative to express his position during an interview with reporters.
This video was also broadcast on the TV station. When they learned that Draymond Green had successfully returned to the team, most fans reacted with excitement and anger.
Some people continued to curse, but after they finished cursing, they said that the team really cannot do without Draymond Green.
The Golden State Warriors' lineup is complete again here, and the Minnesota Timberwolves also have good news over there.
The day after they won, the team's forward players Thaddeus Young and Rakob Pekovic, who had been absent due to injuries, officially announced their return.
The injuries of the two men were finally clear, and they were determined to be able to play in the key G7 battle between the Timberwolves and the Warriors.
As soon as this news came out, Timberwolves fans were very encouraged. Everyone knows that the Timberwolves' performance at full strength is still quite good.
The Warriors were successfully tied with their incomplete lineup before. Now that the team's lineup is back again, can the Warriors still kill themselves like before?
No one can tell this answer, but for Timberwolves fans, defeating the Golden State Warriors and advancing to the second round of the playoffs has become their biggest dream.
