節錄部分原文
Andray Blatche's summer appeared to be lost when he suffered a broken bone
in his right foot in June. But just before the start of training camp, he
found a rewarding conclusion when the Washington Wizards gave him a three-
year contract extension worth more than $28 million between now and the
2014-15 season.
The money was right, and getting an upward bump in salary over the next
two seasons was even better. Yet the reason Blatche said he decided to sign
the deal on Friday was because he doesn't want to leave Washington.
"The main thing about it is, I wanted to be here. I like being here,"
Blatche said in a telephone interview. "I wanted to be a Wizard. So when
they said they wanted to do a deal with me, you know, I'm going to negotiate
with them."
And it was Blatche himself who did the actual negotiating - without an agent,
having separated from his long-time agent, Eric Fleisher, last month.
Blatche said he hired an attorney to an hourly rate to assist him with the
legal language of the contract.
They had about $6 million in available cap room before reaching a deal with
Blatche, who will earn $5.9 million this season - almost $2.7 million more
than he was slated to earn under the five-year, $12.5 million contract he
signed in 2007.
Blatche's salary will escalate each year until he earns $8.4 million in the
final year of the deal, according to a source with knowledge of the
discussions. His agreement essentially works out to being a five-year deal
worth $35 million.
