"Ding! Gain 6666 favorability points from Nash, Son of the Wind!"
"Ding! Gain 6666 favorability points from Little Overlord Xiao Si!"
"Ding! Gain 5555 hacker favorability points!"
"Ding! Harvest the little emperor's anger value of 5000!"
"Ding! Gain 3000 Larry Hughes Rage!"
"..."
On the flight back to Phoenix, Su Bei turned on the system's information prompt.
Nash and Stoudemire are both only 6666?
Is this 5555 for Marion?
Before he came to the Suns, they were not a championship. Now that Su Bei's arrival has brought them a championship, the only "angry" they had to fight back was this, and it wasn't even enough to feed the cat.
That's it, can we still have fun?
"It seems like this Suns team, we don't have to stay here!"
"The opponent is the Cavaliers, and we can't beat them at all. That may be one reason!
After all, if you sweep away your opponents and win the championship, the sense of expectation will be gone. Without fluctuating emotions, how can the emotions released be high?
Didn’t you see that even the players of the Cavaliers lost their temper?
Only James has a little more anger, and the others seem to have resigned themselves to their fate, without even being angry!"
By the way, James is a little more emotional. Do you think this may be because Su Bei was once his teammate?
Can't bear to leave your teammates?
James' structure may not be big enough!
"It's a pity. If I said those words to James, the future is yours, there might be a lot of anger, right?
It's a pity that I missed it..." Su Bei had a pained expression on his face, feeling that he had missed hundreds of millions.
Forget it!
There is still a good chance of beating James in the future. Any dad knows not to overdo it.
James, a potential stock, should be kept for the New Year and held for the long term.
On the plane, after Su Bei felt relieved, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
There is a grand celebration party waiting for them when they return to Phoenix!
You have to seize the time and lie down for a while. When the mood is up, even if you encounter an affair, it will not affect your performance!
Two days later, while the enthusiasm for winning the championship was still there, Jiangsu Bei's agent Dan Fagan met with the Suns' management to briefly discuss their intention to renew the contract.
However, this contract renewal negotiation is destined to collapse.
Because there is nothing to talk about.
The emergence of the Arenas clause does help the rookie's home team to better match rookie players with no more than 1-2 years of experience, which refers to second-round picks and undrafted players.
However, this clause is obviously to protect the salary space, but it cannot match the players cultivated by ourselves.
At the same time, teams without cap space will not be protected.
To put it bluntly, this clause is beneficial to bad teams that do not have big contracts and have salary space. It is also a drug clause for strong teams that have multiple big contracts and no salary space. It cannot be said to be similar to the Arenas clause.
I can only say that the effect is exactly the same.
In other words, the Arenas clause is just a patch on the draft contract.
Before this clause appeared, second-round picks or undrafted players could sign a super-large contract with a maximum salary after playing for two years.
However, first-round picks have to serve four years of a child labor contract before they can get a big contract.
This loophole exists and seems unfair. The first-round pick will probably be jealous. The key is that the team has not finished the benefits of the "four-year child labor contract". How can it give the second-round pick a chance to take off his annual salary?
Therefore, the first two years are limited. In the first year, the maximum annual salary for signings can only be 5 million for the middle class, which is similar to the level of the top five draft picks.
In the second year, the annual salary in the first year can be increased by 8%, which is an annual salary of 5.4 million.
After the four-year child labor contract ends, a second-round pick or an undrafted player will have the same chance to sign a maximum salary as a first-round pick.
However, the Suns accepted the child labor contract for the first two years and were willing to sign a two-year, 10.4 million contract with Su Bei.
However, Dan Fagan is not satisfied and wants a contract with a maximum term of at least three years. After all, no one knows what data Su Bei will be able to produce in two years, or whether he will be injured and unable to perform.
In the third year, if there is a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions as a guarantee, it seems impossible to give in. It is even better to have a big contract with a term of 4 years.
A three-year, 25 million contract is about to be announced, and a player will be selected for the third year.
As a result, the Suns couldn't sign him.
Because the Suns team has many big contracts and is seriously short of salary space.
This season, Nash's annual salary is $11.38 million.
Stoudemire executed the contract extension last season and will receive an annual salary of 13.76 million next year.
Marion is the third in charge, but the one with the highest amount is US$16.44 million.
The Big Three account for nearly 42 million in annual salary space.
Lagabel's is quite reasonable, that is, 5 million.
However, the contract extensions of the 2003 Platinum Generation players will be implemented during the season.
Barbosa renewed his contract too early, asking for 6 million.
Dior is a bit more expensive based on insider calculations, costing 9 million.
Together, these seven people account for 62 million of the Suns' total salary.
Therefore, the Spurs' rotation tactics to squeeze the value of core players are very effective.
The Suns play a 7-man rotation, the data of role players has skyrocketed, and contract renewals are expensive for some of them.
The salary cap for the tournament is 68 million in salary space. Although it will be uncomfortable for the Suns to sign a 5 million contract, there is still room for maneuver. The worst is to sign the contract and then trade it out.
However, a three-year, 25 million contract is a poisonous contract for the Suns, and the Suns simply cannot offer it.
Because, in order to ensure that the team can pay the annual salary of the player contract, the league must ensure that the average total salary of the team's players has room for signing in the first year of signing the contract.
In other words, if Su Bei signs a three-year contract with an annual salary of 25 million, the first year will be calculated based on the average annual salary of the three-year contract, which is an annual salary of more than 8 million.
Including the 62 million total annual salary of the Suns' last seven players, the total annual salary is 70 million, which exceeds the 68 million salary space for the season.
The Suns simply can't sign him.
Therefore, people like Kurt Thomas, whose contract expired and required a two-year, $12 million extension, were the first to be eliminated.
The Suns clearly lack inside players, but they can't keep this defensive star.
There are also James Jones and Marcus Banks, both from the 2003 generation. When they talked about renewing their contracts, they could not renew their contracts, so they could only be poached or traded for nothing.
This is why the owner of the Suns wants to send Marion away.
Without average performance, he earns an annual salary of 16.44 million. During the season, he can earn an annual salary of 17.81 million, which takes up too much salary space for the Suns.
Even if the contract extension with Su Bei is calculated based on an annual salary of 500, with the Suns' explosive salary, it is estimated that it will not be easy to make up the 12-man roster required by the league.
Are you asking why the Suns management didn't force the numbers?
Knowing that the salary will explode next year, why did you bring Su Bei here in the first place? Isn't this too amateurish?
Don't mention the past again. If you must, the root of this disaster was laid in 2004.
That year the Suns had a new owner, but the general manager was Colangelo Jr., the son of the previous owner. This in itself was outrageous.
The new owner didn't dare to touch the old owner's children and let Colangelo Jr. continue to be the general manager of the Suns.
D'Antoni was promoted by former boss Colangelo Sr. and former general manager Colangelo Jr., so he can be considered an old minister.
It stands to reason that the new owner should clean up the old personnel and replace his own people to take over the team. However, D'Antoni has produced a dazzling report card.
The ultimate gorgeous run-and-gun tactics allowed the Suns to complete their rebuild at light speed.
Colangelo Jr. won the Best Manager Award and walked away.
In order to allow D'Antoni to stay with peace of mind, the Suns owner asked D'Antoni to be the head coach and general manager and take charge of all the power of the team, but at the same time he made a requirement that he must win a championship.
If D'Antoni is in charge in your place, you won't be able to sign big contracts at will, or sign at will to increase combat effectiveness. As for the future of the Suns, if he abdicates: I won't care about his flood after I die!
In his previous life in Jiangsu Province, D'Antoni couldn't get past the Spurs and win the championship. He was eliminated at the end of May. In early June, the Suns' general manager was replaced by Steve Kerr.
This season, D'Antoni still couldn't win the championship. No matter how good his regular season record was, he was still fired.
Now that the Suns led by D'Antoni have won the championship, it can be said that they have successfully renewed their lives. The players on the team have paid for their worth but cannot renew their contracts. It seems irrelevant, and he does not have to pay for the team's owner.
Even, he has to continue to spend the boss's money to increase the strength of the team and use it to increase his glory and achievements.
It can be said that he won a lot when he signed with Jiangsu Province.
…
Two weeks after the finals.
June 28, New York City.
At this time, the draft was being held in the theater of the Madison Square Garden Arena. There was a huge flow of people and busy traffic, making it very lively.
In other words, the 2007 draft was touted by experts as the big year for the draft after the 2003 draft.
There is Oden who will be teased by his grandma in the future and he can beat him up, there is Durant who will always be the second player in the league in the future, there is the space trader Dirk Nowitzki, and there is also a second-round superstar center who is ranked high.
Marc Gasol, Joakim Arnold, who has to go home to inherit his wealth if he can't play well, and Horford, who is known as the blind judge of the ball...
And these are just the interior draft players who are good enough to deserve the title of the draft year, and there are also talented outside players. This class is truly full of talent.
Su Bei hasn't decided his final destination yet, so he can't help but watch this year's draft.
"Uu——!"
A tsunami of boos sounded, and with a sense of ceremony, David Stern, an ordinary little old man, walked onto the main stage.
With kind eyes, he glanced at the future NBA rookie in the small green room.
After Stern briefly recited a sutra and delivered a speech, he immediately announced the start of the draft.
"Draft, first pick in the first round, the Portland Trail Blazers have 5 minutes to think about it..."
Think about it, this is a must-choose question. I have chosen it 10,000 times. It is a must-choose question. In 2006, I could not choose it. High school students could not participate in the draft. In 2007, I naturally had to focus on it and type it on the blackboard. I couldn’t miss it.
In the tactical room on the second floor, the Blazers' manager and head coach also made quick choices.
After taking the envelope from the staff member, he slowly opened it and glanced at the text inside, Stern said calmly.
"Draft, first pick in the first round, the Portland Trail Blazers selected, from...
