The Warriors not only have the greatest hope of winning the championship, but also have one of the best locker room atmospheres in the league!
A thorn in the side may disturb the atmosphere of a team's locker room, but a good locker room atmosphere of a team may also cause a thorn in the side!
Let’s see which one is more powerful!
What's more, Kirilenko himself is not a thorn in the side!
Coming to the Warriors might bring Kirilenko back to the top!
The boss of the Warriors is Curry. He has a gentle personality and is approachable. He can play with or without the ball.
This is very attractive to Kirilenko, who has strong coping ability.
With the Jazz having the ball in the hands of Deron Williams, Kirilenko can only hide in the corner and wait to shoot three-pointers that he is not good at!
And when it comes to the warrior Kirilenko, he can show off his talents!
Think about Draymond Green in later generations, dealing cards at the top of the arc and easily harvesting assists, how pleasant and pleasant it is!
The Warriors also like to play small-ball lineups, and what they need most is players like Kirilenko who can play both inside and outside!
Coming to the Warriors will allow Kirilenko to give full play to his strengths!
This is more important to Kirilenko than anything else!
Kirilenko, who has a big contract, is not short of money!
What's more, as long as you play well, you still have to worry about having no money?
In addition to the system of Curry and the Warriors, the presence of Deng Fang and Yi Jianlian is also an attraction for Kirilenko.
Kirilenko was uncomfortable in the Jazz, and a big reason was that Kirilenko, a Russian, couldn't get along with these Americans!
And the head coach of the Warriors is a yellow-skinned Chinese!
So is Yi Jianlian!
With Deng Fang and Yi Jianlian here, the Warriors will never reject him like the Jazz did!
As long as a player lives a comfortable life, how can he be miserable all day long?
So Deng Fang is not worried about Kirilenko's character.
The only obstacle to trading Kirilenko is money!
Kirilenko’s contract is not small!
Next season is the last year of Kirilenko's six-year, $86 million contract, and it is also the year with his highest annual salary!
$17.82 million!
This price is more than James!
Most teams will be frightened even if they want to trade Kirilenko!
There is no space!
What's more, Kirilenko is not a player who can be the boss!
If a superstar can be traded, it doesn't matter if the money is more.
But for a team’s No. 3 or even No. 4 or No. 5 scorer, nearly $20 million is spent. No team in the league would do that!
Of course, except for the Warriors!
Because the Warriors have enough salary space!
Because Deng Fang knows the value of Kirilenko!
Although they won the championship last season, the Warriors did not pay a penny in luxury tax!
The Warriors' salary structure is very reasonable!
Leader Curry has a rookie contract, which will only cost more than two million next season. The key is that he can still use it for two years!
Lopez is also a rookie, earning more than 2 million per year, and next season will only be his third year.
The one with the highest contract is Prince. He re-signed the contract after being traded to the Warriors. He has three years left and earns more than 9 million per year.
The same goes for Azubuike, 9 million per year and a 3-year contract.
Lagaber's is 4 million per year, with 2 years left.
A second-round pick like Jordan only has $740,000 this year and can still be used for two years!
Livingston's salary is only a little higher than the base salary, 1.5 million per year!
Belinelli’s rookie contract is 1.55 million per year!
The total of these people is only 31 million!
Even with the addition of newcomers Lowry, Hayward and Yi Jianlian, the Warriors' total salary is only 46 million.
The salary cap for the new season is 58 million, and the Warriors still have plenty of salary space.
Of course, the Warriors also have several substitute players, such as Radmanovic, Turiaf, Anthony Morrow, Tolliver and others.
But Deng Fang doesn't want to keep these people, so their contracts can be ignored.
The fact is, it wouldn’t work without the contracts of these substitute players!
Kirilenko is still under contract, so if he wants to be traded, he can only exchange him for a contract of equal value.
Kirilenko's contract is quite big!
Kirilenko's annual salary next season will be as high as 17.82 million!
Without these substitute players, the Warriors would not be able to trade with the Jazz.
You can’t replace Prince, Curry and others for Kirilenko...
In fact, the only thing that made Deng Fang hesitate was Kirilenko's high-dollar contract.
More than 17 million is really too high.
After Kirilenko comes to the Warriors, he is likely to start from the bench.
A substitute earns the highest salary in the team, which is detrimental to the stability of the team.
But after taking a look at the Warriors' salary space, Deng Fang finally made up his mind.
Don't be afraid!
We have plenty of space!
No use, no use!
So after taking Lowry, Deng Fang instructed Tim to negotiate a deal for Kirilenko with the Jazz.
Tim was shocked when he heard Deng Fang's request.
Trade Kirilenko?
Do you have a fever?
Or did I hear it wrong?
After repeated confirmations, Tim believed his ears.
Okay, you are awesome!
The brain circuitry of Niu X is indeed different from that of ordinary people!
No matter how surprised Tim was, the deal was still going to be done.
Deng Fang’s words are imperial edict!
Facts have proved that Deng Fang’s decision was not wrong!
If you can’t understand, there’s something wrong with you!
After reaching a consensus, it’s time to proceed with the specific operations.
The operation is much simpler.
Because there is no need to discuss this deal with the Jazz at all!
The Jazz wanted to send Kirilenko away for a long time, but they just had no one to take over!
The Jazz had three big contracts last season, Deron Williams, Boozer, and Kirilenko.
Deron Williams only signed a big contract last summer, worth $70 million in four years!
Deron's annual salary next season will be higher than Kirilenko!
Boozer's annual salary last season was $12.32 million.
Kirilenko’s is 17.82 million!
The three people add up to 48 million!
The total salary cap for next season is only $58 million!
The wages of these three people make the Jazz miserable.
Deron is the leader and the future of the Jazz and must not be touched.
Boozer is the team's second-in-command and cannot be moved.
Then the only option is to trade Kirilenko.
But no one wants it!
With such a high annual salary, you can only be the third or even fourth leader of the team. Who is stupid?
It was precisely because no one wanted it that Jazz gritted his teeth and kept it for himself.
The Jazz also wanted to trade Kirilenko this summer, but no one wanted him.
The Jazz had contacted the Warriors before, but when Tim heard Kirilenko's name, he immediately hung up the phone.
You really think I'm stupid!
Doesn't this insult my intelligence?
If Kirilenko cannot be traded, the Jazz will have no choice but to watch Boozer leave.
It was for this reason that Boozer went to the Bulls.
But the team can't do without an insider. After Boozer left, the Jazz traded with the Timberwolves and acquired Jefferson.
But Jefferson’s contract is not small, with 3 years and 42 million left!
