NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Tang Yu immediately contacted Webber, and the two connected through video.

"Hello Chris, nice to meet you!"

Webber smiled and said, "Mr. Tang Yu, I am also very happy to meet you. It is my honor."

"I think Doug has introduced the matter to you, but I still want to tell you about my plan in detail."

"I am all ears, sir. You should have a grand blueprint."

Webber's words are also very official now, completely a businessman's style, Tang Yu didn't care about it.

"You know the Rockets' goal is to become a team that dominates this league. I need a partner who is in step with me and can go on for a long time. I have a grand plan and hope you can participate..."

Tang Yu talked freely and told his vision and blueprint for the future of the Rockets one by one.

Webber was deeply touched and immediately said without hesitation: "Mr. Tang Yu, I am moved by your ambitions. I can't wait to join this big family!"

Webber didn't even ask about his salary and directly accepted Tang Yu's invitation.

"Okay Chris, I think we will meet in Houston soon, right?"

"Yes sir! Without a doubt!"

In order to show his importance to the new GM of the Rockets, Tang Yu sent his own plane to take him to Houston.

The Rockets official soon released the news of this personnel change.

[Houston Rockets General Manager Sam Hinkie resigned from the position of General Manager due to family affairs, and legendary player Chris Webber took over the position of the new Rockets General Manager! ]

Below is Tang Yu's thanks to Sam Hinkie and welcome to Webber's arrival.

After Webber arrived at the Houston Rockets training center, Tang Yu personally greeted him at the door and soon came to the office of the Rockets General Manager.

"This is your future office, Chris. The contract is ready. You can check it out. If there is no problem, we can sign it directly!"

Tang Yu indicated that there was a contract document on Webber's desk, and Webber sat on the chair to check the details of the contract.

The annual salary is 5 million dollars in the first three years, and the salary will increase to 10 million dollars in the fourth year.

If Webber does not leave the Houston Rockets in five years, he will become a small shareholder of the Rockets, and Tang Yu will give him 5% of the shares.

The contract period is 5 years. If one party unilaterally terminates the contract, a termination fee of 1 million dollars will be paid.

The termination fee can almost be said to be negligible, which can allow the two parties to part ways amicably without having to go back and forth on the contract.

"Wow! I know you are a generous person, but this is really a contract that people can't refuse."

After Webber finished speaking, he signed his name without hesitation. Tang Yu and Webber shook hands and hugged each other under the witness of the camera.

Legendary power forward Chris Webber officially joined the management of the Rockets.

"So when do I start working?" Webber asked.

Tang Yu smiled and said, "You can take a rest tonight. Of course, you can also look at the work you need to do now. Your assistant Sarah will help you with everything."

......

After Webber joined, Tang Yu's work can be reduced. Tang Yu has not paid much attention to the free agent market in the past two days.

He needs to go all out to pursue a member of the coaching staff, that is Brandon Roy who just announced his retirement!

Huang Mamba did not want to stay away from the basketball career. Tang Yu got Roy's phone and called him.

"Hello Brandon, please allow me to introduce myself, Houston Rockets owner Tang Yu! It's a pleasure to talk to you!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Roy was looking at the phone at this time, thinking that he had heard it wrong. Didn't the Rockets know that he had retired?

Roy said disappointedly: "Hello, Mr. Tang Yu, nice to meet you. But I have retired, I may not be able to join your team!"

"Yes, Brandon, I know you have retired, but do you want to leave this sport? This is your love, you haven't achieved a little bit of success, don't you want to shine again on the coaching bench?"

"You mean you want to hire me as a coach?" Roy asked excitedly.

Tang Yu replied affirmatively: "Yes sir, but not as the head coach, or you can start as an assistant coach of the team?"

"Oh my God! Thank the damn God, you know I have been very depressed recently, this is good news for me, when can I start work?"

"Anytime, sir, you can take the damn coaching certificate while working, I don't think anyone will object!"

After hanging up the phone, Roy said he would discuss life in Houston with his family, and he would come to the Rockets training center soon.After Roy joined, the Rockets' coaching staff is composed of all retired legendary players.

Chief assistant coach 'Alien' Sam Cassell, annual salary 510 taels;

Second offensive assistant coach 'Yellow Mamba' Brandon Roy, annual salary 140 taels;

Inside coach 'Dream' Olajuwon, annual salary 498 taels;

First defensive assistant coach 'Glove' Gary Payton, annual salary 498 taels;

Second defensive assistant coach 'Scalpel' Doug Christie, annual salary 410 taels;

Team management assistant coach 'Roaring God' Rasheed Wallace, annual salary 486 taels.

After winning the championship in a row, Tang Yu also raised the salaries of all the old guys in the coaching staff.

Finally, the Rockets' logistics are all settled, and the next step is to sign free agents.

This season, the labor-management agreement was signed first, but the league is also optimistic about the future business model and has set the salary cap at $61.2 million.

The luxury tax trigger line is $73.8 million, and the maximum value of the middle-class contract is $5.25 million.

The Rockets' current salary cap has exceeded the luxury tax by more than a little.

After Anthony exercised his last year's player option, his salary came to $18.52 million, second in the team.

Yao Ming still has two years of contract, which is the contract he signed with the Rockets last year. The second year is a player option. His contract for this season is $19.35 million, the first in the team.

Kevin Durant still has five years of contract, and this year is the first year of a maximum salary contract of $15.45 million.

After that, Terry has a one-year contract of $11.16 million and Ray Allen has a one-year contract of $10 million.

Boris Dior has a two-year contract, $6.72 million this year.

Then there are three child workers, Ibaka, Harden and Curry. Both of them exercised the team option this summer, Harden 5.59 million dollars, Curry 4.57 million dollars, Ibaka 1.75 million dollars.

Then there is Leonard, who was just signed this year, 3.25 million dollars.

Gerald Green has a two-year minimum salary, this year is 1.36 million dollars.

Finally, there is McGrady, who is on a minimum salary of 1.57 million dollars, the last year of the veteran minimum salary contract.

The total annual salary of 11 players has reached 99.29 million dollars. The total salary of the Rockets this season must be over 100 million dollars, because there are still 3 players on the roster.

After that, Tang Yu will hurry to fill in the puzzle of the last three players, and then a brand new Rockets will be back in front of everyone.
