Chapter 112 The Way to Make Money

27th pick: Tang Tian

Before this year's tournament, perhaps no one had heard the name at all, and he was said to have been a caddie before? I'm seriously skeptical, maybe it's just to make the story more legendary, but this is one of the most legendary players of the year, it took him only 37 games to go from obscurity to national fame, especially in the championship. In these 7 games, he almost exemplified what a role player can do to the extreme.

The list of opponents he has defensively killed includes Harrison Barnes, Derrick Williams, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Marshan Brooks, and even Kyrie Irving!

Well, there you have it, he's a player who can defend from the 1 to the 4! This is a very scary thing even in the NCAA.

And he shot 67 percent from three in the tournament! Well, I went to check it on purpose, the number is not wrong, his open 3-pointer is almost unmissable, and he has lore North Carolina and Duke successively, this is the best role player this year, a top 3D player , I believe many teams will be very interested in him.

Draft template: Sean Battier.

It is worth mentioning that Tang Tian is not only as good at defense and three-point shooting as Shane Battier, they both helped the team achieve a 20+ reversal in the final four games of the NCAA.

...

(Note: This list and evaluation are written by Eggplant himself. The reason why I wrote so many is definitely not for the number of words. It is to let everyone recall the grand occasion of the draft that year, um, not for the number of words.)

Because the lottery will not be held until May, this list does not fully consider the needs of the team, but it is already a relatively professional list.

The end of the first round is the limit that a role player can achieve, and Chad Ford's analysis is actually quite in place.

But when he saw this ranking, Tang Tian suddenly thought of another thing.

In order to fully guarantee the interests of the team and players, the NBA has made mandatory provisions for the contracts of first-round picks. The annual salary is stipulated, and the number of years is also a 2+1+1 contract. Whichever pick is selected means that you will get what a contract.

Take the No. 1 draft pick as an example, this year's contract is 24.02 million for 4 years, and the first year can get 5.14 million US dollars, which is almost worth a full middle-class contract.

So under normal circumstances, being able to be a lottery pick or even enter the first round means that there will be a stable contract.

But that is for most players, obviously not applicable to Tang Tian.

At the end of the first round, take Jordan Crawford, who was selected with the 27th overall pick last year, as an example. He signed a 4-year contract of 5.52 million with the Wizards, and the salary in the first year was only 1.04 million before tax. child labor contracts.

In the same way, if Tang Tian is selected in this pick, it means that he will have to play child labor for at least four years. is in the fourth year of his rookie contract).

He now has the Krypton Gold system in hand, so the Krypton Gold value he can earn will definitely be less, but a lot.

According to the course of history, the Rose clause will appear this year, but even if there is a Rose clause, it will take effect after the four-year rookie contract.

So, from a certain point of view, being a rookie at the end of the first round is not a good thing.

This is something Tang Tian realized, but this kind of thing is not something he can decide now, so he can only watch it when the time comes.

The end of the NCAA journey means that Tang Tian is no longer an NCAA player, and he finally no longer has to be restricted by his identity and cannot make money as before.

There's definitely going to be a business game in July, but that's just part of his summer plan, and what he has to do now is make more and bigger money.

When it comes to basketball, sports betting on the NBA playoffs can be a good option.

The Mavericks will upset the championship this year. If he remembers correctly, the odds are as high as 18 to 1 before the playoffs start.

His crossing will have some butterfly effects, but because he has not yet entered the NBA, this effect should not affect the NBA this year. That is to say, if he invests 100,000, he will return 1.8 million!

The previous one-on-one match and Song Qianjin's acting made him realize that the system actually allows edge balls.

Just like the real world, the system will turn a blind eye if it is not the obvious illegal means of robbing, stealing, and cheating.

But gambling this, he considered again and again and chose to give up.

While the rewards are high, the risks are also high.

When I played streetball heads-up competition before, because the amount was not large, and his acting skills were not obvious, no one would know if Song Qianjin didn't say it, but if this is found, even if he just asked someone to buy it, It will become an indelible black spot in his entire career.

It seems that in addition to the contract, he can only focus on endorsements.

The endorsement of basketball players actually involves a wide range, and sneakers are the most basic. In addition, cars, shampoo, and even insurance are available in all walks of life.

The system said it was related to basketball, and his identity as a basketball player should theoretically be included in this range.

But if he wants to find an endorsement, he must first identify an agent.

He called Walker and went to a place together to meet the agent he wanted, Dan Fagan.

Fagan is very famous in the NBA. He is a partner of many NBA players and has a lot of prestige among the players. Of course, the image in the eyes of the general managers of the teams is not so good, because he helps his clients. Signed a lot of notoriously junk contracts.

Among them, Arenas has a 6-year 110 million super junk contract.

Of course, there is also Chandler Parsons, who was dubbed by fans as "I got the money, I'm afraid of things". He signed two consecutive junk contracts with the Mavericks and the Grizzlies, all from Fagan's future.

All he needs is an agent like that.

"Tang, are you sure you want to find him? His reputation is very high, and the commission is not expected to be low." Walker confirmed to Tang Tian.

The brokerage industry makes money by taking commissions. The higher the reputation, the larger the commission ratio.

"No, Kemba, don't worry." Tang Tian waved his hand.

Walker's impression of the agent is still relatively shallow. Tang Tian has been in contact with him a lot in his previous life, and he naturally understands a lot.

Because players can fire their agents at any time, agents are actually engaged in a high-risk industry that faces dismissal everywhere, and they are always on guard, worrying that their clients will be poached by competitors, worrying that they have missed out on some good seedlings, etc.

It is precisely because of this that the more famous the agent is, the smarter it is. If he thinks you have potential, he will not only not raise your commission, but will reduce it, and even offer money to have a good relationship with you, in order to be in the business. You are still your agent when you renew your contract.

After all, no matter what level of rookie you are, the rookie contract won't get you much, and only when you sign a second contract, that's when you really make a lot of money.
