Follow-up of the Yin-Yang Contract Event! Leonard made more than 28 million yuan, is he the best salary in the league?

On September 5, yesterday, US media reporters broke the issue of the Clippers Ballmer's Yin-Yang contract for Leonard. The specific details are: Ballmer invested 50 million yuan in a carbon neutral salary, and Leonard is the spokesperson of the company, but he has no job, and the company cannot do anything with his appearance. There is only one regulation between the two parties, that is, Leonard cannot leave the Clippers in the next four years, otherwise he will not get the full endorsement contract.

Isn't this equivalent to giving Leonard 28 million for free? In addition, the agreement also stated that Leonard could not be allowed to leave the Clippers. It seemed that everything was like Powell gave Leonard 28 million through this secret operation, and the company made 22 million from it. But if it were just a middleman, wouldn’t it be too much? Yesterday I also said that this company really made money, and just use a bridge to make so much money.

The reality is not the case. Today, according to Boston Sports Magazine, an alliance executive revealed as a source that Leonard also reached an additional agreement with the company, and Leonard will obtain 20 million yuan in company shares, which will be paid from the personal holdings of one of the founders within 4 years, which makes Leonard's off-market compensation not worth 28 million, but 48 million! What does

mean? Leonard signed an agreement with this company in April 2018. If it is paid for 12 million yuan per year, then Leonard's income in the 21-22 season will be 3934+12 million yuan. What does this mean? If it was really the Yin-Yang contract given by Ballmer, Leonard's annual salary this season would be as high as 51.34 million. You may think that there are not many contracts like this now, and Curry, who has the highest salary in the league this season, has an annual salary of 45.78 million, which is still much less than that of Xiaoka.

In fact, he is the highest paid player in the league in the past few years? No wonder the league previously suspected that Leonard would have been unreasonable for the Clippers to renew their contracts with a four-year and 170 million contract in 21 years. After all, Leonard was one of the best players in the league at that time, and he could sign a five-year and 240 million contract next season, but he chose to renew his contract in advance. With this 48 million, 210 million in 4 years. With his ability, it seems more appropriate than 240 million in 5 years. This is a good plan.

A Smith, who is known as the beauty of Yang Yi, also commented on this matter. He said: This kind of Yin-Yang contract is too similar to Leonard's style. He doesn't need to come forward at all and does nothing. He is like this and will ensure that he gets privileges. This sounds like no problem. After all, under the guidance of his uncle as his agent, although Xiao Ka did not come forward, the things his uncle wanted were probably proposed by Leonard, such as private jets, endorsement contracts, etc.

Because of the yin-yang contract given to Leonard, the Clippers can avoid the salary cap in this way. Although Powell is not short of money, to be honest, no one wants to spend extra money. If this matter is confirmed, it will have a great impact on the Clippers. In addition, the pressure of avoiding the salary cap will also make other teams feel dissatisfied. After all, other teams in the league will share the luxury tax equally, which is undoubtedly a cake for everyone.

As for this matter, according to the famous reporter Zach, from the perspective of the entire league, the feedback I received is that the league must conduct in-depth investigations on the matter and take it seriously. If the investigation finds that the situation is indeed true, it must be severely punished. Someone even told me that the evidence he saw was enough to allow the league to take action against the Clippers. Most of the people who have spoken to the executive believe that the Clippers need to explain the matter, and they have the responsibility to prove their innocence, and they cannot just use the explanation of being cheated to make excuses.

What's interesting is that after the whistleblower broke the incident, he said: With the NBA officially announced the investigation, I have been thinking about one thing, when will Ballmer win sympathy through a face-to-face interview? I have to say that this prediction is really accurate. Today Ballmer appeared at ESPN to have a conversation about this matter. Ballmer meant that he was the deceived. He said:

Frankly speaking, anyone's guess is crazy. These people committed fraud. They lied to me. I invested in them and thought they were doing good things. As a result, they lied to me. We introduced Xiaoka to this company, but we did not participate in the subsequent matters, and I did not ask Leonard about their contract. After all, this was their private matter.

It sounds like Ballmer is a victim, but when he bought the company's stock, Ballmer gave $11 per share, which increased the total investment to $50 million. Usually, investors with strength like Ballmer will be attracted by the company's lower stock price, but he chose to buy at a premium because others are $10. I think there is a high probability that something is wrong with this.
