Yang Mo was startled when Pat Riley suddenly said this. Although he vaguely felt that Miami might choose him, hearing Pat Riley's promise with his own ears still frightened him.
"Come, come to the office with me, let's talk in detail." Pat Riley patted Yang Mo on the shoulder and led him to the office.
Yang Mo was still a little confused at this time, so he subconsciously followed him into the office. After sitting down on the sofa, Pat Riley took out a bottle of energy drink from the refrigerator and handed it to Yang Mo, saying: "Yang, I
Now I can make you a promise, you will never be selected this year. We will select you at the right position."
"The right position? What position." Yang Mo frowned when he heard this. He knew how big the difference was between a second-round pick and a first-round pick. It was almost impossible for a second-round pick to sign a contract after his rookie contract.
Arenas is very good at salary contracts, and then the league also specially set up an Arenas clause.
"We only have the No. 2 pick and the No. 21 pick." Pat Riley said seriously: "But for you, we will trade with other teams and use cash to buy a second-round pick."
"So..." Yang Mo knotted his tongue slightly, and then said: "Are you planning to sign me with the second-round signing rights?"
"Yeah." Pat Riley nodded. He was a little surprised. He thought Yang Mo should be very excited and moved. Why did he act more like he was dissatisfied with this selection now?
"Well, okay, thank you." Yang Mo nodded politely to Pat Riley.
However, Pat Riley can see the emotion behind Yang Mo's politeness. Pat Riley has been in the league for many years and knows Yang Mo's level. As long as Yang Mo goes to other teams for trial training, other general managers will definitely take a fancy to him.
He, after all, his ability is indeed outstanding. Some teams will even take risks and use first-round draft picks to select him because of the Chinese market behind him.
It would be too bad if things got to this point.
Therefore, Pat Riley frowned subconsciously. He felt that the matter was very difficult. He did not expect that Yang Mo would be so difficult to handle. Originally, he thought that if he gave such an unknown boy a promise, he would
He would be so moved that he would sacrifice his life for himself. Unexpectedly, Yang Mo was so angry that he didn't take the second-round draft pick seriously.
Yang Mo is not high-spirited, he just simply feels that now he has a guarantee, and he will try other teams. If he can get better treatment, of course he will choose the better team.
However, Pat Riley was unwilling to accept this situation. Yang Mo was a must-win rookie for him, and he couldn't bear the thought of such an excellent player slipping away from his fingertips.
Pat Riley pursed his lips and weighed the pros and cons for a while, then offered Yang Mo a condition: "It is very difficult to get first-round picks in the trading market now. All managers in the league think this is a big year for the draft. Therefore, I will probably only trade.
to a second-round pick, but I can give you a verbal promise. Once we draft you, no matter what the pick is, we will give you a three-year contract worth five million US dollars. You can even own
Player option for second year, third year."
This is the maximum condition Pat Riley can offer now, and he is also taking a gamble. This contract is almost the level of a first-round pick, and many first-round picks may not be able to get such a contract.
After hearing this, Yang Mo couldn't help but tremble with excitement. Five million US dollars, converted into RMB, is nearly 35 million.
Before this, Yang Mo couldn't even think about it. He didn't even have the confidence to be selected before. Now not only was he promised that he would be selected, but he was also offered a contract.
Yang Mo hesitated for a while. This was a great temptation for him. However, he decided not to jump to conclusions yet. After all, no one knew whether there would be golden eggs in the next basket, just like three days ago.
He couldn't imagine that Pat Riley would personally promise him a contract worth five million US dollars.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Riley. This will make you more confident to face the future." Yang Mo held Pat Riley's hand tightly and said excitedly.
Yang Mo was very excited, but he still didn't give a clear answer.
Pat Riley was dumbfounded and muttered in his mind: The Chinese are just difficult to deal with. If it were a black player, he would have burst into tears and shouted thank-you-very-mach.
"Yang, can you tell me, what do you want? Do you want us to sign you with the second pick?" Pat Riley was anxious and simply postponed: "You are indeed a very good person.
The player is only 20 years old and has great potential. But... your height is too embarrassing for your position. We can't take such a big risk."
"No, no, no." Yang Mo waved his hands quickly and explained: "I didn't mean that. I'm very touched that you promised to sign me."
"Then why don't you give me a clear answer?"
"It seems like I can't make the decision in this matter, right?" Yang Mo shrugged and said helplessly: "You know, I'm just a rookie. If a team selects me in advance, I can only sign with them."
The meaning of Yang Mo's words is very obvious, he is treating you as a spare tire in Miami. If there is a tall, handsome and rich man who is willing to sign me with a better contract with a higher position and a higher position, then I'm sorry, I will go to someone else. If no one agrees in advance
If you choose me, congratulations, your counterattack is successful.
Pat Riley didn't want to be a spare tire because he wanted Yang Mo so much. So, he said excitedly: "As long as you don't go to other teams for trial training, I guarantee that no other team will select you."
"This..." Pat Riley said it so directly, Yang Mo was a little surprised.
Seeing Yang Mo's hesitation, Pat Riley gritted his teeth and raised the stakes again: "I can add another one million US dollars to your contract. In addition, I promise that as long as there is an opportunity to trade with other teams
If you get a first-round signing, we will definitely choose you, how about that?"
Pat Riley showed his sincerity to the maximum extent. Yang Mo thought for a while, he was alone and without an agent. Even if he wanted to go to others for a trial training, they might not be willing. Moreover, the six million contract was really
It was pretty good, at least bigger than last year's first-round pick Yi Jianlian. So he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I promise you, but you must give me a written commitment."
"This..." Pat Riley immediately became confused upon hearing the written promise.
This kind of under-the-table trade is not uncommon in the NBA, but once it is discovered, the punishment is very serious. The Timberwolves signed an agreement with Smith before the draft, which resulted in a penalty of five years of draft picks and cash, which caused the peak period.
KG has never won a championship.
"Don't worry, I will never let a third person know." Yang Mo said with a smile: "It won't do me any good to spread the word. I just want a guarantee."
Yang Mo's words were very convincing, and Pat Riley didn't want such a genius to slip away. He took a long breath, made up his mind, walked to his desk, scrawled a letter of guarantee, and signed it.
name.
Yang Mo took the guarantee letter and looked at it. It promised to select Yang Mo and give him a three-year contract worth 6 million. Yang Mo had a player option for the second and third years.
After it was confirmed that it was correct, a big stone in Yang Mo's heart finally fell. From now on, he is a member of the NBA. Thinking about being able to fight side by side with Dwyane Wade in the future, he feels excited. At this moment, he really wants to play.
He called Monkey: "Hey, Monkey, did you know? From now on, Brother Mo, your idol Wade and I will be teammates, why don't you come to please me quickly?"
