On June 14, 1998, the Bulls defeated the Jazz 87-86, achieving their second three-game winning streak.

The great Bull Dynasty defined the 1990s and they were the biggest winners. Even this championship represents that the dynasty has reached its end, and their legend will not pass by the wind.

No matter how long it has passed, the NBA in the 1990s will be a time for generations to remember forever.

The season is over, and in another twelve days, the draft will come.

After a series of operations by Mo Mengchen, Rashad Lewis' market has been rising and falling. Some draft prediction lists still rank him in lottery, while others have already rank him to the end of the first round.

Before the draft, no one knows the final ranking, and the prediction list can only be used as a reference.

In addition to the draft, there is also an upcoming suspension.

In a few days, news will be heard on major platforms that the boss and the Players Guild negotiations will be broken, and the NBA will have to enter the most far-reaching shutdown in history.

Some teams don't want the league to be shut down, such as the Pistons.

This year, the Pistons' net income surpassed the Lakers, second only to the Knicks, ranking second in the league.

For this team with Detroit as its home court, the revenue is breathtaking, and the hot market doesn't bring so much revenue, most of their profits come from gushing advertisers and sponsors.

Everyone knows who brought these.

Therefore, as soon as the season ended, the Pistons started part of the contract renewal negotiations.

The 1995 players led by Mo Mengchen have just finished their third year of their career. Most of the first-round picks have signed early contract renewal clauses with the team, and Mo Mengchen is among them.

Considering Mo Mengchen's influence, the attention he brought and the large number of advertisements and sponsors he had never dared to think about before were in the interests of the whole team.

The Pistons don't want to let Mo Mengchen enter the free market next year.

Mo Mengchen's contract was signed in 1995. The contract was flawed at that time. If the Pistons waited until next offseason to renew his contract with him, he would be a completely free player at that time and was not restricted. The current rookie contract is not like that later. No matter how high the other teams gave, the home team gritted their teeth and matched it.

Now players have complete autonomy. If you don’t want to stay, you can wait until next summer to reject the team’s offer.

Therefore, it is crucial to complete the contract renewal with Mo Mengchen this year.

Many teams have already set their sights on next year. If Mo Mengchen is free next year, we can foresee a group of wealthy teams or price-raising madmen who are rich and powerful will join this battle. Even if the Pistons can leave Mo Mengchen, they will be seriously injured.

Therefore, two days after the finals, Dean Osgus officially started the contract renewal negotiations with Mo Mengchen with Bill Davidson's order "Give him a check, give him the contract as big as he wants!"

In order to conduct this negotiation, Harding Parton, nominally Momonchen's agent, traveled all the way to Detroit.

The boss behind etrue is Mo Mengchen. Patton, as the chief executive, has not been comfortable in the past few years. In the early stages of entrepreneurship, there were many difficulties, but Mo Mengchen's series of performances have made their work more and more smooth.

Moreover, under the guidance of Mo Mengchen, they signed contracts with new stars of various popular sports. Some people were still unknown when signing endorsement contracts, and this year they ushered in a big explosion.

Parton's confusion turned into admiration.

Mo Mengchen's vision was proven again and again.

"Let's start."

Osgus sat down and to show sincerity, only three people participated in the negotiation.

Momonchen, Patton and Osgus, had no financial officers, no assistants, and no negotiators who specialized in quarrel with their agents.

With Momonchen's relationship with the team, Osgus believes that the date renewal will be smooth.

"Mo, each of us thinks you are the team's long-term plan, and without you, the Pistons are incomplete."

Osgus politely made a mistake and took out the proposed contract: "This is just a draft of the contract. We can discuss in detail what the details are."

80 million in 7 years, which seems not much, but upon closer inspection, you can find that there are as many as 22 bonus terms. If Mo Mengchen reaches all of them, it will be 110 million in 7 years.

This is an extremely generous contract.

"These bonus terms are interesting, I like it, but for a player like Mo, is 10 million a year too little?"

Parton is the agent - although it has been a long time since he has been bargaining with others - what is the agent? A vampire, a blood-drinking beast, will not stop until he peels off the capital, let alone Mo Mengchen is his friend, who gave him a job that is far more decent than the agent, and he will help Mo Mengchen win a big contract that is no less than Kevin Garnett.

Sure enough, all agents have this kind of virtue.

Osgus likes Momonchen, but it's hard for him to like Parton, this guy's face is too ugly.

Osgus kept smiling and asked, "You can offer a price."

"The 7-year 100 million, the fifth-year player options, including these bonus terms, are actually not perfect enough, we need more bonus terms."

Parton's appetite was even bigger than Osgus thought.

Fortunately, this is still within the controllable range of Osgus. He sat upright, his smile was still bright, and looked at Mo Mengchen: "Mo, no matter how big the contract you want, we can satisfy it."

The question is, what if you meet it?

Are I looking for a big contract?

Mo Mengchen smiled bitterly. Parton was indeed for his good, but it was indeed not the best contract - for him.

Osgus and Momonchen had been in a year and they worked very well, which was a good cooperation for each other because they had no conflict of interest.

Osgus is not in the sports management. He just wants to win the results as soon as possible and then go to other positions to show off his skills, but he cannot achieve results by himself. He needs Mo Mengchen's help.

No matter how much influence Mo Mengchen has in the team, his identity is a player, transaction, draft, contract renewal, and these are all matters of the management. He also needs an obedient management. Only in this way can he achieve his goals.

He and Osgus each took their needs, which is the basis.

Back to this negotiation, if Mo Mengchen signs a sky-high contract renewal, he will naturally make a lot of money on his face, but the Pistons will not be able to operate next.

Mo Mengchen is not the only one who needs to renew his contract.

In the Sports League, unless you are Superman, it is difficult to turn the world with one person's strength. Mo Mengchen has never been such a player.

If he wants to succeed, he must have a complete team.

Osgus can give Momonchen this contract because he only needs the Pistons to score in two years.

Renewing Mo Mengchen and giving up other people in the 95th level, even so, the team can still enjoy the rookie bonus for one year. Then, if you strive to achieve results next year, he can leave. This big contract will damage the future.

Osgus took the initiative to hint Mo Mengchen, but was actually considering him.

Do you want grades or big contracts?

Mo Mengchen said: "Yes, I am really worthy of this contract."

Parton thought Momonchen had agreed and was about to bargain with Osgus to fight for greater benefits.

"However, I value the future."

Mo Mengchen picked up the pen on the table, crossed out all the numbers on the draft contract, and wrote another set of numbers on it.

70 million in 6 years, 3rd, 4th, and 5th year all have player options.

Parton took it and looked at it, his eyes falling out: "You are..."

Osgus was not surprised that Momonchen only took this little money, but he was surprised by the latter string of player options.

In this era when everyone is seeking stability, everyone wants to have a long contract and a big contract because no one can guarantee that they will always have a good competitive state.

Most top players like to sign long-term contracts. Even if there is a serious decline in this contract, this contract is enough to support them in retirement - of course, most of them are bankrupt - there are very few who are finely controlled by Mo Mengchen and have the initiative to fully control the future.

"Mo, this contract is too small for you." Parton thought signing such a contract was an insult to him.

Mo Mengchen smiled and said, "You can talk about the bonus slowly. I don't care about getting a few million less. Harding, this is definitely not a question of how much I get."

Parton didn't quite understand Mo Mengchen's ambitions, but he would never accept the contract.

He began to target the Pistons' salary space and strive to negotiate a contract that not only gives Mo Mengchen face but also conforms to the team's long-term plan.

In the end, Parton helped Mo Mengchen fight for a 6-year and 100 million contract. This is not a pure contract. If the bonus is deducted, it is a 1-year and 80 million contract.

At the same time, this is not a common incremental contract, but a decreasing contract.

Next year, Mo Mengchen can receive a salary of 20 million from the Pistons, and then 17 million, 13 million... If this continues to decrease, coupled with the player option of the third year, the fourth year and the fifth year, Mo Mengchen can completely stop the contract in the third year and sign a brand new renewal contract.

Although Mo Mengchen was not focused on money, Parton still won him a contract that suited his value.

Finally, the two sides reached an oral agreement, and Momonchen and Osgus hugged.

Parton shook hands with Osgus.

Osgus commented on Parton: "Fortunately you are not a full-time agent, otherwise we will all be in trouble!"

Afterwards, Parton invited Momonchen to have dinner, and the fact that Momonchen reached a contract renewal agreement with the team spread after Parton walked out of Osgus' general manager's office.

The general evaluation of Mo Mengchen's contract by the outside world is: short-sighted and eager for quick success.

They all think that Mo Mengchen values ​​the large salary in the previous two years, and everyone believes that he will break out of the contract in the third year and then sign a larger contract with the Pistons. After all, this is an era of salary surge.
