"Ding! Gain 6666 favorability points from Nash, Son of the Wind!"
"Ding! Gain 6666 favorability points from Little Overlord Xiaosi!"
"Ding! Gain 5555 hacker favorability points!"
"Ding! Harvest the little emperor's anger value of 5,000!"
"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 can get back is this, and it's not 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 a reason!
After all, when you sweep your opponents and win the championship, the sense of expectation is 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 accepted their fate, not even angry! "
By the way, James is a little more emotional. Do you think this may be because Su Bei used to be his teammate?
Can't bear to leave your teammates?
James' pattern 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 out on hundreds of millions.
Forget it!
There are still good opportunities to beat James in the future. Even my father 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, Su Bei closed his eyes and fell asleep after feeling relieved.
There is a grand celebration party waiting for them back in Phoenix!
You have to seize the time to 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 had not dissipated, Su 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 the company.
At the same time, teams without cap space will not be protected.
To put it bluntly, this clause is beneficial to bad teams with no big contracts and salary space. It is also a drug clause for strong teams with multiple big contracts and no salary space. It cannot be said to be similar to the Arenas clause. It can only be said that the effect is exactly the same.
In other words, the Arenas clause is just a patch on the draft contract.
Second-round picks or undrafted players, before this clause appeared, could sign a super-large contract with a maximum salary after two years of playing.
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 is over, a second-round pick or an undrafted player can have the same chance of signing a maximum salary as a first-round pick if he plays well.
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 contract worth 25 million 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.
In the 2007/08 season, Nash's annual salary was US$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 has the highest amount of 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 in the 2007/08 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, the 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 are playing 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 2007/08 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 afford 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.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
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 in the 2007/08 season.
The Suns simply can't sign him.
Therefore, contracts like Kurt Thomas's that expired and required a two-year 12 million renewal contract were the first to be eliminated.
The Suns are obviously short of 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 also couldn't 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 averaging 20+10 per game and earning an annual salary of 16.44 million, he could earn an annual salary of 17.81 million in the 2008/09 season, which took up too much salary space for the Suns.
Even if the contract renewal 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 problem was laid in 2004.
The Suns had a new owner that year, 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 regarded as 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 for 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, it's not like signing a big contract casually or signing anyone who can increase their 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, in the 2006/07 season, D'Antoni couldn't pass the Spurs' hurdles and couldn't win the championship. He was eliminated at the end of May. In early June, the Suns' general manager was replaced by Steve Kerr.
In the 07/08 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. It doesn't seem to matter that the team's players have paid their dues but can't renew their contracts, and he doesn't have to pay for the team 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 Su Bei.
…
Two weeks after the finals.
June 28, New York City.
At this time, the 2007 NBA Draft was being held in the theater of Madison Square Garden Arena, with 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 can beat him to death, Durant who will always be the second player in the league in the future, Dirk Nowitzki who is a flamboyant, and a superstar center who is ranked second round. 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 geniuses.
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 a brief chanting speech, Stern immediately announced the start of the 2007 NBA Draft.
"The 2007 NBA Draft, the first pick in the first round, the Portland Trail Blazers had 5 minutes to consider..."
Think of it as a big-headed ghost. This is a must-choose question. If you choose it 10,000 times, it is a must-choose question. In 2006, you could not choose it. High school students could not participate in the draft. In 2007, you will naturally have to focus on it and type it on the blackboard. You cannot 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.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Portland Trail Blazers selected...
Ohio State center, Greg Oden!
"
