Chapter 107 Officially Join the King
From this perspective, this offseason is quite uneasy.
Pat Riley, Old Nelson and Daddy are all super coaches in the top five in the league, but they all left the team?!
Including the Warriors, there are already five teams sending Davidson the head coach invitation.
Davidson now has undoubtedly become a hot commodity.
But Davidson also knew very well that these teams probably value Murraysan more...
Davidson gave the same answer to these five teams, that is, he needs time to consider it.
What he is waiting for now is the invitation from the Kings. If the Kings give an invitation and do not propose any unreliable conditions, Davidson will definitely choose the Kings.
In the afternoon, Davidson finally waited for news from the Kings.
Reynolds was not the one who came to contact Davidson this time, because Reynolds was fired before the start of this year's finals.
The newly appointed general manager of the King is named Gioff Pitri.
Petrie and Willis Reed were similar, and they also moved from players to management.
Although Petri's career is not as glamorous as Willis Reed, he has won the Best Rookie, was selected into the All-Star lineup twice, and his jersey was retired by the Trail Blazers.
His career is still quite perfect.
What Davidson did not expect was that Petrie not only invited Davidson to serve as the Kings head coach on the phone, but also invited his father to serve as the CEO of Kings basketball affairs.
Of course, Murraysan is definitely indispensable.
This is quite interesting. The position of the president of basketball affairs does not mean that every team has this position.
At least the king did not have this position...
Speaking of which, there is actually no need to set up this position. Basketball affairs itself are the job of the general manager.
Now that after Petri took office, he directly took up the position of president of basketball affairs, obviously because he was concerned about his father's ability.
The King valued Murraysan very much, so he had the idea of letting Davidson be the head coach. However, Petri did not trust Davidson's ability, so he thought about getting his father to the King.
This adds an additional layer of insurance.
After hanging up the phone with Petri, Davidson told his father about the content of the phone.
Dad frowned...
"Dad, I think you can go to the position of the president of basketball affairs, and you don't have to work too much. I will help you with this work, so you can rest assured to retire in Saramento." Davidson said with a smile.
The contract that Petri had offered for his father was an annual salary of 800,000 US dollars, while Davidson's head coach contract was 1.2 million US dollars, which was exactly 2 million US dollars.
This salary is naturally not high. With my father's qualifications, it costs 2 million US dollars per person. The reason why Peterry gave it so low is that Davidson felt that Peterry probably knew that his father had the idea of retirement.
Dad can join the Kings in a semi-retired state.
As for the salary of Davidson, the head coach, 1.2 million yuan, it is definitely not high, but in fact it cannot be said that it is less. You should know that some head coaches in the league have less than one million yuan.
Now that Peter is willing to give $1.2 million, it is obviously sincere.
Mrs. Daly obviously wanted her father to agree.
After pondering for a while, my father finally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, Wilson, then you can just reply to Petri in the past two days. We'll go to the Kings next season."
Davidson nodded excitedly, his next home was settled now.
But after making a decision, Davidson had to sign a contract with the King as soon as possible, and then settle the matter for Bartle as soon as possible.
Then I have to operate Murraysan's transaction.
The next day, Davidson called Petrie and agreed to Petrie's request for joining.
That afternoon, at the urging of Mrs. Daly, the three of them cleaned up and boarded the plane to Saramento that night.
Mrs. Daly was eager to see her daughter and wanted to fly to Saramento immediately.
Petrie was quite efficient in his work. The next morning, he signed an employment contract with Davidson and his father on behalf of the King.
"Mr. Petrie, there are two most important things for us next." After signing the contract, Davidson directly told his next plan.
The first thing to do is to get the bus done.
The second is to bring Murray Sanzi over.
"Wait, Wilson, it is imperative to get Murraysan, I will definitely cooperate with you."
"But why I have never heard of the Chinese player you are talking about? And from what you mean, he seems to have not signed a contract with any club now, and we still need to give the transfer fee of 320,000?" Petri was a little puzzled. He obviously didn't know much about China's national conditions.
Maybe Petri didn't take the bus seriously, after all, there has never been a Chinese player in the NBA. He may feel that the spending of more than 300,000 US dollars is not worth it.
As the general manager of the team, the first element is that you have to be able to spend money and spend money on the edge.
After all, it is not a decimal.
"Mr. Petri, don't worry, this money will be worth it." Davidson said with a smile.
For the Kings, spending more than 300,000 US dollars to sign an All-Star bus will definitely make a big profit.
Petri looked at his father, wanting to hear his father's opinions.
The father nodded and did not tell Petri about the potential of this Chinese player.
Seeing that his father nodded, Petri agreed directly.
"Okay, Wilson, then you can let go next. If you encounter difficulties, find me as soon as possible." Petri said generously.
"By the way, I forgot to discuss the most important thing with you."
"What kind of chips do you think we should take out for trading Murraysan?"
Davidson and Dad had already talked about this issue in detail on the plane last night.
"Pollinis is the main body of the trading. He and Murraysan overlap. After Murraysan arrive, it would be a waste to put Polynes on the bench. If he is used to trade Murraysan, the Nets will be more acceptable." Davidson told the plan he discussed with his father.
Petri nodded. He was originally planning to trade Murraysan with Polynis.
Polynis is very strong. The king paid a considerable price to get Polynis, but it took only two years to sell it. Petri was still reluctant to let it go.
But even if you can't bear to leave, you will definitely have to trade Polynes.
In other people's words, the Nets will definitely not be happy. After Murraysan left, their team lacked blue-collar centers...
Besides, after having Murraysan, who cares about Polynes?
Before Murraysan showed his ability to shoot in the mid-range shot, the only thing Polynis could do better than Murraysan was his offensive ability.
