Chapter 926 [From the heart! Jade blood Dan Xin Zhan loyalty! 】
Chapter 926 of the main text of the Legend of Tomorrow [From the Heart! The Blood-Loyalty of Zhan Zheng!] In August, the LeBron-James battle finally came to an end, and the result surprised Guo Xu, the reborn man.
"Dragon King" Chris Bosh renewed his contract with the Raptors for 110 million yuan in 6 years, and then signed and then joined the Lakers. The Raptors only got two first-round draft picks protected by the top three in the future and trade special cases, and did not involve other players.
Under the old labor-management agreement, Bosh also took the method of forcing the palace to leave, signing first and then transferring to get the maximum salary increase equivalent to staying in the team. Generally, the stars don’t care. For top stars, a higher increase in the last year’s contract can be larger, and the amount of the last year is very critical to the size of the next contract.
You should know that the starting salary of the NBA's maximum salary contract is not only calculated by working years, but also related to the size of the previous contract. If a star wants to reduce the starting salary, he needs the assistance of his old club. The Raptors' condition for assisting Bosh is that the new team needs to give certain benefits, which is the draft pick.
Of course, the Lakers are willing to draft picks. The price they pay and the profits they get are not at the same level.
The Raptors are forced to do so. Only by cooperating can they get something, better than nothing. If they don’t cooperate, they will have nothing. Bosh will make less money and lose both.
In the future, under the new labor-management agreement, the increase in signing first and then exchange will become consistent with the increase in signing naked. The purpose of the league is to avoid threats like James and Bosh. They are not trying to compensate the parent team at all. This is a commercial alliance, who will consider it for the opponent?
Brian Colangelo also thought about signing such a contract with Sir, and changing from the Knicks to two draft picks, but it doesn't work. This is the difference between the second leader and the big boss of a team. The Knicks have doubts, and Sir has never proved that he can play well as the boss.
After the Lakers settled Bosh, they continued to pursue James, willing to sign first and then exchange for this year's rookie Xavier Henry, a future first-round draft pick and two second-round draft picks.
After the news exposed the Lakers' intentions, James and others were very excited, saying that as long as James agreed, it would be a win-win situation. He could play in big cities and lead the Lakers to rise. The Cavaliers' trading of James has gained a lot and can complete the reconstruction in an instant.
Although James can only exchange one player, Xavier is the No. 13 rookie with a height of 198cm and will be given a great task.
It seems that James is very close to the Lakers. As long as James insists on leaving, he says that because his mother is hurt, he doesn't want to stay in Cleveland, the Cavaliers can only let him go.
The Lakers are also preparing to renew Joe Johnson's contract next. As long as James comes, Joe Johnson is willing to reduce his salary appropriately to stay in the team in order to win the championship.
James eventually gave up joining the Lakers and held a press conference to announce his maximum salary renewal with the Cavaliers and stayed in Cleveland.
James said that he made this decision because he was sincere and did not want to leave his hometown to play in the West.
There are some things that James would not say to the media, and he had an ominous premonition.
One step forward is dusk, and one step back is life. As long as you go to the Pacific region and the Lakers, what awaits him is deep sadness at the bottom of the Pacific...
He stayed with the Cavaliers to play, and his boss Gilbert would try his best to trade and strengthen, and he had hope of winning the championship. It was just that Cleveland was not a big city and suffered a loss in commercial development. He had a good reputation that could make up for the shortcomings of his geographical location.
If you join the Lakers James, you can't afford to lose, and the consequences of losing are unimaginable.
Guo Xu went on the way after the Lakers completed three consecutive championships to establish a dynasty. James would definitely be compared by Lakers fans to join him. This is a small matter, the key is that it is too difficult to break out from the West.
If the Lakers can't beat the Suns, James can't even enter the Finals. With his record declined, can his popularity and commercial value be higher than staying with the Cavaliers to compete for the runner-up?
Can partner with Bosh and Joe Johnson really be stronger than partner with Boozer and Mo Williams? The Lakers not only have to be able to attack well, but also have to be able to defend themselves.
In James' heart, Guo Xu was already like a great devil. When he went to the Lakers, he was Gu Amo. What he wanted to tell is the story of an old man being bullied by the great devil.
He was at the peak of his career and couldn't hold Guo Xu's thighs. Finally, after discussing with his agency team, it would be better to stay and be "Zhan Zhongcheng".
Four years later, James is the player option. If he can't win the championship with the Cavaliers and has been playing for the team for so many years, and then he will leave the team to form a team to compete for the championship, I believe that the management and fans will support him. At that time, like Garnett, he devoted his best time to his hometown team.
James thought he had made the best choice, but he ignored the importance of his mentality.
Those who dare not pursue their dreams with all their might will one day fight back against you in their dreams.
The butterfly effect caused by Guo Xu is a bit big. From now on, the future and what he knew in his previous life have changed dramatically.
James' stay in the team will also cause a series of chain reactions. The Cavaliers will not win the No. 1 pick in a row. Rookies such as Tristan Thompson and Kerry Irving will not know where to start their careers.
The Lakers lost their number one goal, but they did not get nothing. They renewed their contract with Joe Johnson. Next season, Bogut, Bosh, Bathir, Joe Johnson and Ellis have a good lineup. They have stars on the inside and outside, and can shoot three-pointers on the wings.
The Lakers have at least three players with an average of 20+ per game. They are not considered to be the Big Three, but also a trident.
Kupchek's mission was barely completed, and Bosh's popularity was still achievable. After leaving the Raptors, he had the potential to continue to increase his popularity.
As the dust settled, the Knicks also turned their signing targets to others.
They signed Bobcats point guard Raymond Felton for 15.8 million in two years. The price is not high and the years are not long. They are preparing for the big-name point guards Chris Paul, Deron Williams and others. Even if they don't make a big deal, they can still have a free salary space in two years.
As one of the three point guards in the 2005 class, Felton was the worst. He had no choice but to accept this contract. Last season, he averaged only 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and no team was willing to give him a high salary and long-term contract.
The Knicks made several trades and drafts in the previous seasons were also good, with their lineups being Felton, Tyrek Evans, Garlinari, Stadamire, and Jokin Noah.
Cameron Anthony wants to join, but the Knicks can't even use it. Substitute forwards include Hayward and Wilson Chandler.
Point guard Chris Duhon was poached by the Magic, and Jason Williams, the "White Chocolate" joined the franchise for the basic salary to make up for the vacancies.
The Knicks have a very rare new season without bad contracts. In the future, as long as they renew their contract, they will be no bad in the lineup of young players they have trained, and they will steadily compete in the top four in the East.
The Knicks also replaced Rick Adelman as the head coach. This is an offensive coach. He had the experience of coaching star power forward Chris Weber at that time. Princeton had a lot of cover in his tactics and was the power forward as the core.
The Cavaliers sign people in the free market and want to rely on good role players to enhance their strength.
The team has a middle-class contract. When James delayed renewing the contract, they missed the libero Wesley Matthews. This is an excellent shooting guard, with active defense and accurate three-pointers.
Matthews entered the NBA in a non-draft, played for a season with the Jazz's basic salary, averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per 24.7 minutes, shooting percentage of 48.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 38.2%.
