Even if he plays with the Jazz next season, they will not offer themselves a satisfactory big contract.
In this case, wouldn't it be better to go to the Warriors?
That's the defending champion!
Even if the Warriors don't renew my contract next season, staying with the Warriors for one year is still better than the Jazz!
What's more, Deng Fang has already had a phone call with him, and he said that he will be reused next season!
Kirilenko, Deng Fang’s famous name, has long heard of it!
That is an amazing coach!
You're right to follow him!
All three parties have no problem, and the next step is to discuss a new contract with Kirilenko.
Kirilenko has one year left on his contract and will be a free agent next summer.
In this case, the players are most concerned about their future.
Except for a few superstars, no player in the league does not want to renew his big contract in advance.
Kirilenko is no exception.
In fact, based on the level Kirilenko performed last season, he could only get a contract worth US$5 million.
Considering his excellent defense, the maximum is only 7 million.
Just like Green, who did not have three-pointers in later generations, his defense was 15 million and his offense was 8 million, which totaled just 7 million.
Kirilenko's annual salary next season is US$17.82 million. Not surprisingly, he will be satisfied if he can get a US$10 million contract next summer.
Even if someone does offer an annual salary of US$10 million, it will not last more than two years!
After discussing with Deng Fang, Tim offered Kirilenko a big contract: US$50 million over five years!
Average annual salary of $9 million!
Kirilenko agreed to the contract offer without any hesitation!
Although he can get more than 17 million next season, what happens after that?
Will anyone give themselves a big 4-year contract?
More than 8 million per year is completely in line with my own worth!
Who can guarantee that he will not be injured?
If you get injured, you won’t get a penny!
A signed contract is meaningful!
After playing for so many years, Kirilenko also understood that with his own strength, he is not capable of becoming the boss of a team.
The Jazz gave themselves a chance before.
It really doesn't work.
What suits me is to be the second in charge of the team, or the third in charge, or the fourth in charge!
The largest contract I can get is 8 million a year!
If the annual salary is 10 million, it cannot be for 5 years!
Two years at most.
The Warriors suddenly offered themselves a huge five-year contract, which is enough to show that they are very optimistic about themselves.
In this case, why not stay here?
You can earn a lot of money, be taken seriously, and have a high probability of winning the championship. Where can you find such good things?
Kirilenko signed the contract without hesitation.
Of course, Deng Fang also kept an eye on it. Although it was 50 million over five years, it was not evenly distributed.
7 million in the first year, 8 million in the second year, 9 million in the third year, 10 million in the fourth year, and 16 million in the last year!
Although they are all big contracts worth 50 million, this will bring a lot of benefits to the Warriors.
It is difficult to trade a large contract because the term is too long.
No matter how big the contract is, it is not too difficult if there is only one year left.
As soon as the one-year contract ends, the team will immediately have a lot of salary space, which is a good thing for any team.
It is for this reason that the Jazz initially wanted to bite the bullet and keep Kirilenko.
Deng Fang is very confident in Kirilenko's performance with the Warriors.
As long as he performs well with the Warriors, Kirilenko will have no worries about being wanted by no one.
The Warriors will not be able to keep Kirilenko after four years!
In this case, it is the most cost-effective way to let Kirilenko's contract be smaller while the Warriors are using him, and then the contract will be larger after being traded!
