The Rockets' contract offer will definitely not satisfy Lowry.
2.97 million is still too low for Lowry.
So Lowry's agent has been in contact with various teams in the league.
In the end, the Cavaliers took a liking to Lowry.
James chose to leave, leaving a mess, and the Cavaliers were forced to rebuild.
What the team needs to rebuild is potential players.
Although Lowry's statistics are average, he still seems to have good potential.
The Cavaliers, who have lost James, need a player like Lowry.
The price tag given by the Cavaliers is 24 million over four years.
This price is not low for a substitute player.
But Deng Fang knew that the Rockets would definitely match.
Although it is much higher than 2.97 million, the Rockets are still unwilling to let Lowry go in vain.
Historically, the Rockets quickly matched this offer and kept Lowry.
The time was almost up, and Deng Fang instructed Tim to contact Lowry's agent and offered the highest price: 12 million, with the longest term!
As long as the annual salary does not exceed 12 million, Tim can make any offer.
The only requirement is to get Lowry over.
The Warriors need a backup point guard like Lowry.
More importantly, Deng Fang knew that the price was not much for Lowry.
Even if the system requires Lowry to leave the team in a few years, Lowry will be very valuable if he plays his worth, and many teams are rushing to get him.
After playing for the defending champion team for a few years, getting good statistics, and having rich experience in the finals, the Warriors can still make a lot of money from Lowry.
Tim was very confused by Deng Fang's proposal.
Is a backup point guard without a basket worth such a big contract?
Doesn’t Deng Fang value three-point ability very much?
How to practice for Lowry?
Still a backup point guard!
The Warriors have Curry and Livingston!
Although he had many doubts, Tim still complied.
There is no way, past facts have proven Deng Fang’s power!
He led the team to the championship in his first season, and everyone he selected was useful. All the deals Deng Fangrang made were profitable. What can be questioned about such a head coach?
Your questioning only shows that you are not good enough!
As general manager, all Tim has to do is obey!
Listen to Deng Fang!
Do whatever Deng Fang asks you to do!
If you really want to question it, you have to wait until facts prove that Deng Fang is wrong!
All doubts before this are meaningless.
As long as the trading target is determined, the rest will be easy for Tim.
What's more, Deng Fang also offered an amount that was irresistible!
12 million!
Twice the Cavaliers offer!
Lori would never refuse this amount!
What's more, if he goes to the Cavaliers, Lowry will also have to come on the bench!
The Warriors are the defending champions!
Doing the same job, if you come to the Warriors, you have a great chance of winning the championship, and the money is more, who would refuse such a thing?
The task given by Deng Fang is too simple!
Tim didn't have to worry at all. He went to Lowry's agent and told him his intention, and the other party immediately agreed!
You don’t even have to ask the players themselves!
As long as you are not a fool, you will agree to this!
Not to mention Lowry!
Lowry is a very competitive player. If it weren't for money, he wouldn't want to play in the Cavaliers!
After James left, the Cavaliers were a rebuilding team, and their mission was to mess it up!
Show off and get the lottery ticket!
If you can get the No. 1 pick, never get the No. 2 pick!
Lose, lose, lose!
The more you lose, the better!
Playing on such a team is completely torture for a player like Lowry!
Now that you have a bigger contract and great hope of winning the championship, what are you waiting for?
Sign now!
Why ask for such a good thing?
Of course, Tim is not stupid. He did not directly offer an annual salary of 12 million.
Spend less if you can!
Spend less and do more, this is the responsibility of the general manager!
Tim still knows about Lowry's situation.
Tim gave an offer of 45 million for 5 years!
The offer offered by the Cavaliers is 24 million over four years.
One has an annual salary of 6 million, and the other has an annual salary of 9 million!
One is a 4-year contract and the other is a 5-year contract!
No matter how you look at it, the Warriors' contract is much better!
Where can I find such a thing that gives me half the money every year and an extra year of protection?
You know, so far, only the Cavaliers have given out an offer contract.
Things are not going well for Lowry.
The agent agreed immediately.
All that’s left is to watch the Rockets!
Since Lowry is a restricted free agent, if the Rockets match the Warriors' offer, Lowry can only stay with the Rockets.
The offer made by Tim gave Rockets general manager Mo Zhutou a headache!
If Tim offered an annual salary of 12 million, Mo Zhutou would simply not consider it!
Take it away!
I won't follow you!
Price is too high!
Not worth it!
If you want to be taken advantage of, just do it!
If the Warriors offered the same offer as the Cavaliers, Mo Zhutou wouldn't consider it.
Direct match!
It's not okay to let Lori leave for nothing!
In Mo Zhutou's heart, 7 million is the highest price he can offer!
Even with 8 million, you can grit your teeth and force a match!
9 million is too high!
What's more, the Warriors directly offered a five-year contract!
What to do if you get injured?
Don't be afraid if a star player gets injured. After all, he is a rare animal. Even if he doesn't recover well, someone will take over.
A substitute player like Lowry is different.
If Lowry is injured and in poor condition, this big contract will be lost!
Mo Zhutou was very confused.
The price is high and the service life is long, so it really shouldn’t match.
But he was unwilling to let Lori leave for nothing.
After hesitating for three days, Mo Zhutou finally chose to give up.
not worth it!
Price is too high!
The risk is too great!
Give it to you if you want it!
I have to say that professionals are great.
The quote Tim gave was very accurate.
I got Lowry without wasting my money.
On July 15, Lowry signed a five-year, 45 million contract with the Warriors, and Lowry officially joined the Warriors.
Deng Fang was very satisfied with the result.
Lowry got it, and the price was much less than he expected.
In addition to Lowry, Deng Fang also instigated Tim to sign Jeremy Lin.
Most basketball fans must be deeply impressed by Lin Crazy in later generations.
This summer, Jeremy Lin participated in the draft, but unfortunately failed to get selected.
Historically, Jeremy Lin signed a two-year contract with the Golden State Warriors this offseason. This season is partially guaranteed, and the Warriors have team options for next season.
Jeremy Lin thus became the first Chinese-American player to enter the NBA.
Jeremy Lin is a team player who plays with his brain. He has good breakthroughs and good passing awareness. His shortcomings are that his shooting is unreliable, his body is relatively thin, and his strength and athletic ability are poor.
Although such players are of little use, they are good as backup tires.
The price is cheap anyway!
The guaranteed part is only a few hundred thousand dollars, and most of this season and next season are non-guaranteed contracts.
Once you don't play well, this kind of contract is very suitable for trading.
In the NBA, where there are many black people, it is difficult to find a yellow-skinned player, which makes it difficult for Deng Fang to exclude Jeremy Lin.
