Jonathan Kuminga's Free Agency and Agent Perspectives on Value
這章節原本是在聊苦命跟經紀人
And sometimes, you know, I think it's important to evaluate where you are and
be OK with
understanding that I still have room to grow.
Now I've been in a situation I'm a speak from my own guys, Jalen Johnson,
Moses Moody,
right?
Moses was the 14th picking the draft to Golden State.
He's going to a place to where I think they won the the finals in his first
year, not really getting a
lot of playing opportunity.
He comes up for a contract, I meet with him, I meet with his family, and I
explained to him, for
me, I feel like we still have room to grow.
But it's also important for you to get a little money in your pocket, right?
I think what you can learn from this locker room, what you can learn from
this organization, the
opportunity to sit in and be in film sessions with guys like Steve Kerr,
Steph Curry, Draymond
Klay, the opportunities to go far in the playoffs and get that experience.
Whether it's 2 minutes or 22 minutes, whether you start or you come off the
bench, that's just
that's just you gaining experience because I believe when you go to a team.
You do it and you embrace it.You're going to you're going to play three to
five more years then you probably would haveplayed had you started somewhere
else that that probably wasn't as better position, right?
Paul:有時候，我認為很重要的一件事，就是正確審視自己目前的定位，並能夠坦然接
受「我還有進步的空間」，我也曾歷經過這樣的處境。拿我旗下的球員Jalen Johnson、
Moses Moody來舉例好嗎？Moses Moody當年在第14順位被勇士選中。他來到這支球隊時
球隊在他的新人年奪下總冠軍；只不過他並沒有獲得太多上場機會。後續到了合約談判的
階段，我和他與他的家人會面。
我向他說明：「對我來說，我覺得我們還有繼續成長的空間。但讓你賺進一筆收入也同樣
很重要，對吧？」我認為你可以從這支球隊的休息室與球團的身上學到的東西；還有機
會一起參加影片分析，與Kerr、Curry、Draymond、Klay等人共事；你還有機會打進季後
賽的深處。無論上場2分鐘或22分鐘，無論是從先發或是板凳出發，這些都是在累積經驗。
你全力投入其中並欣然接受這一切，你的職業生涯會多出3~5年，相較於一開始就去一支
戰力前景沒那麼好的球隊會來得更長，對吧？
And you didn't embrace the same way in Jaylen Johnson's case.Jalen
Johnson was in a different position and he was budding.He was budding.They
were making room clearing it out for him to be the guy.Clearly they were
clearing it out for him to be the guy, but once, once once we got to
$150million fully guaranteed.24:12It's not about me, right?I know if if
I,if I wait, I believe's going to have a really good season and we'll go and
get, youknow, be positioned for Max contract the next year.But you have to
evaluate the risk of that number one.
And also can that player lay under those circumstances #2 he, he had some, a
couple of injuries prior to and this is life changing money for him and his
family. 24:40 Speaker1 And you can't. You can't say. 24:41 Speaker 2 No, this
is my point, right? 24:43 Speaker 1 Especially the intensity that the modern
sports world is played in NFL, MLB, like guys arms are falling off the
intensity because the competition is so great all the time. The the risk of
injury is so high. 24:57 Speaker 2 Especially when you've already had them.
But, but, but, but in like Tyrese Maxi's case, it was a little bit different.
He had never had no injuries. He's very doable. I knew that whatever they
offered us was going to be so underpaid.
Paul:而Jalen Johnson的狀況就不一樣，Jalen當時所處的環境截然不同，他正處於崛起
的階段他正要嶄露頭角。球隊當時正在清開陣容、騰出空間，準備把他當成核心球員培
養。很明顯球隊已經在為他鋪路要讓他成為球隊一哥。然而當我們談到一份1億5000萬的
全額保障合約擺在眼前時。這件事就不再只看長遠潛力了，對吧？我心裡很清楚，如果選
擇再等等，我相信他能打出一個非常亮眼的賽季，隔年有機會爭取頂薪。但首先你必須評
估背後伴隨的風險。再來第二點，這名球員能不能在這樣的環境下扛住壓力？他先前就已
經歷過幾次傷病，而這筆錢足以徹底改變他們全家人的人生。
Kellerman:你沒辦法斷言。
Paul:沒錯，這就是我想表達的。
Kellerman:尤其現今職業體育的競爭強度，不論是NFL、MLB都是如此；選手的身體負荷
幾乎快要撐不住。競爭始終激烈，受傷的風險非常高。
Paul：曾經受過傷的球員更是如此。不過Tyrese Maxey的案例就不太一樣。他從來沒有
重大傷病史，風險相當可控，我當時就知道無論球隊開出什麼條件，給出的薪資一定會遠
低於他的真實身價。
25:11 Speaker 1Right, you have to wait.25:13 Speaker 2You have to.So in
that case we had to wait the year before that maybe he gets 140 million, his
comparisonssomebody like Jordan Poole, one year later he gets 20 four.So
that's a $64 million difference, being patient.25:28Now, he had to go out
there and play and he did.And he had a hell of a season.That's when he hit
the shot in the Garden, took the series, extended the series with the
Knicks,etcetera.And And but those are three different scenarios that I'm
given and.
Kellerman:沒錯，你就得選擇等待。
Paul：勢必如此。所以以那個案例來說，如果前一年就簽約，拿Jordan Poole當參考對象
他或許只能拿到1億4000萬；而晚一年簽約，他就拿到2億4000萬。光是耐心等待，就出現
高達6400萬美元的差距。之後他就得打出表現，而他也確實辦到了。他繳出一個極為精彩
的賽季。那一戰他在麥迪遜廣場花園投進關鍵一擊，延長了和尼克隊的系列賽。以上就是
我所遇到的三種不同狀況。
