Chapter 825: Everyone is the highest salary
A crowd of Rockets players gathered around. "Hello boss!" everyone cheered up.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he would not come for a long time, and the team would have such a high authority, which was really a bit unexpected. But it's no wonder that Lin Feng is the one who single-handedly builds this prospective champion team full of potential and future. And so young, even younger than most of the players on the field. A little more critical. Lin Feng is still shijie rich. Thinking about Shijie Fu, a famous player, I feel that my heart is heavy, full of pressure and expectation.
"Okay, okay, let's go practice. Especially if you three rookies want to become official players of the team, you have to work hard!" After everyone said hello, Jordan drove everyone back to continue practicing.
Looking at everyone's respectful expressions towards Jordan, Lin Feng felt how wise his original decision was. Bringing Jordan out of the Washington Wizards has helped the Houston Rockets immensely in terms of popularity and business. But in Lin Feng's view, for the Houston Rockets, Jordan's real help lies in the daily practice. With the existence of Jordan, the "god of basketball", these players who have almost all grown up watching Jordan play on the court will never be lazy when they see their idols sweating like rain on the practice court.
This has a significant effect on Yao Ming Boozer and others, especially James Wade, who just joined the team this year. Moreover, Jordan's example has also set a model for many young players of what it means to be a professional player, which has played an immeasurable role in the future careers of many people. At the same time, it has also become an important reason for the Houston Rockets to officially rise to become a long-lasting giant in the league.
"Michael xiexie you!" Lin Feng thanked very sincerely. It's a huge help to the team to set an example of a professional player for these young players.
"Hehelin, thank you too. Thank you for allowing me to experience the taste of youth and blood again in my twilight years, and to rekindle my desire for a championship, my desire to win. Lead this group of young people full of vitality and future to play and fight for victory. This feeling is so good!" Michael Jordan sighed as he looked at James and others who were working the court.
He came back to the Washington Wizards because he couldn't get used to the laziness of his players, his lack of desire to win, and his indifference to defeat. But after all, he is old and can no longer carry the team like before. Originally, Jordan was going to work hard for another season to lead the Washington Wizards to the playoffs, and then retire permanently. But the appearance of the Lin Feng United gave Jordan hope again, made Jordan regain his desire to win, and equipped Jordan with a squad that was enough to compete for a championship.
Another triple crown! That's what Jordan thinks right now. Although it is difficult, looking at the team lineup in front of him, Jordan believes that he will be able to do it before he can't hit the ball at all!
"Hey boss, you're here! Dawson and Morey learned that Lin Feng had arrived at the Houston Rocket Arena. Immediately rushed over.
"Hehe, Michael, Yao Ming. I won't bother you to practice!Come on, this season will surprise everyone!" Lin Feng encouraged him and followed Dawson and Morey into the office.
"What's wrong, what's the matter?" Lin Feng asked.
"Boss, what do you think of the team's atmosphere right now?" Dawson asked as he walked to the window and watched the many players on the practice pitch downstairs sweating profusely.
"Yes, all the players are very enthusiastic about training, which is very helpful to improve the individual quality of the players and the run-in between the players. Lin Feng sighed. For all the players, the best time to really improve is in the offseason. It's usually a time for players to go on vacation, but if you want to make a breakthrough on your own, you'll have to sacrifice valuable offseason vacation time. Put in all your might. At this time, the practice will be for the individual's own symbols. Otherwise, as soon as the regular season starts, the practice at that time is based on team skills and tactics, and it will be very difficult to improve personal strength.
"The boss and the players are very hardworking and we are all impressed by their fighting spirit. However, the boss now only has Nuo players on the field, and the substitute players are not present. Dawson sighed.
Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng naturally saw this problem early on, and also guessed the reason.
"The boss was supposed to be a substitute who was almost excluded from the rotation and only played to prevent injuries and garbage time when the main team was rested. However, now the substitute player has completely given up training due to a complete loss of confidence in playing time. This effect is very bad, and he has clashed with Jordan many times. So," Morey explained.
"So I fired all four. Including the third center of the team hand-picked by the owner
Repair.
Dawson said. Originally, he was a little apprehensive about cutting this third substitute center handpicked by Lin Feng, Dawson, afraid that Lin Feng would reprimand him for not having a ward, after all, this is also Lin Feng's descendant. But now it seems that it is obvious that Lin Feng does not have any lineage in his heart, which also makes Dawson breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he has a little more respect for Lin Feng.
Not after all
Manban can be generous, and the people who are hand-picked by themselves are all the same, and the four people are suddenly laid off, and they don't know anything. This kind of boss Dawson asked himself and saw Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded. These four players are so sloppy in practice and have a conflict with Jordan, they should have been hired. Otherwise, it would ruin the atmosphere of the team too much, and he would dare to challenge the team boss. There is absolutely no precedent. As for the center, although he was hand-picked by himself, he did this kind of thing and deserved to be laid off.
"However, because of this team, there are only eight players left, and apart from the three-year-old Jordan, Rodman, and Olajuwon, there are only eight players left in the team. To be on the safe side, at least 23 people need to be signed. Dawson said with a headache.
Lin Feng nodded, this is very reasonable. I don't know what Dawson needs to explain to himself. I'm fully empowered.
"The boss is troublesome that our team's total salaries are now approaching the luxury tax touchpoint. By my guess, it's about $40,000 away from next season's luxury tax touchpoint. Morey said calmly.
"So. Owners will have to pay the luxury tax if they want to sign players again. Because the four players were cut but the payroll season was still counted in the team's salary cap, there was nothing wrong with it, but now it happened. Dawson said a little helplessly.
In fact, the strength of these four substitutes is far from the main players and the main substitutes, but for the team, they are not ambitions, but they are needed. After all, the team has Rodman, Olajuwon, and Jordan, three senior players who are out of age, and if they are injured, someone will have to fill their gaps. What's more, even if you don't get injured, for the playoffs, the three of you will attend the regular season at most. That's when the value of these four "water cooler" players appeared.
However, the four were so sluggish and clashed with Jordan that Dawson had to fire the four outright after weighing it up again and again, in order to warn other young players on the team and form a deterrent to future substitutes.
But the dismissal was a dismissal, and it also established the prestige of the team's management and the absolute establishment of Jordan's team leader, but there were no four players. The team is really a little stretched in the future arrangement. Though. It's okay for now, but what about in the future? What makes Dawson even more helpless is that if he hires someone to come again, he will touch the luxury tax floor. At that time, it was a double fine.
Luxury tax! Lin Feng frowned slightly. This is an innovative rule created to balance the strength of each team. However, it is also because of the luxury tax that the strength of the teams is likely to be closer, and it will not cause a situation where one team dominates the league for several years. Of course, it is not excluded that some team owners are financially powerful and do not care about the luxury tax.
But for Dawson, the luxury tax is a problem. After all, the previous owner, Alexander, hated paying the luxury tax the most. Whenever the team is going to touch the luxury tax, Alexander will always order Dawson to start trading to free up money. Now the boss has been replaced by Lin Feng, although Lin Feng is shijie rich, but it is difficult to say whether he will be willing to pay luxury tax.
"Don't worry, as long as the strength of the team improves. I don't care if I pay more luxury tax!" Lin Feng patted his chest and said.
It's not like the luxury tax, and it's not that I don't have money. What's more, as long as the team's record improves, it can win the championship, and paying a little luxury tax is really nothing, and all this money can be earned back. What's more, Lin Feng didn't expect to make money from the Houston Rockets at all, what Lin Feng needed was the influence and popularity brought by the Houston Rockets, and then promote the exhibition of other companies under his control in the United States. This is what Lin Feng likes.
The luxury tax Lin Feng really didn't pay attention to. Isn't it just money, I don't lack money.
"Dawson Morey, I hereby assure you that as long as it is good for the team, I can improve the strength of the team, even if all the players get the highest salary, I am willing!" Lin Feng released a sentence that shocked the whole league.
Dawson and Morey took a sharp breath as they listened. All the players are willing to get a maximum salary, which is a huge expense. According to today's maximum salary contract, a player signing this year's maximum salary starts at 10,000 US dollars, according to the pig rotation player, it is old, 100 million US dollars. The luxury tax is 46 million. According to this figure, Lin Feng is spending, attracting hundreds of millions of dollars in sky-high wages, and at the same time, he will also have to pay an additional luxury tax of 10,000 dollars. Counting wages, $100 million is close to $1.
The cost of a Zhao team in a year is close to $2, which is absolutely unprecedented. And don't forget that these contracts go up every year, and every time the player's salary goes up, the old gill team has to pay the inducted salary. That's a terrible ratio!
Of course, it is not possible for all the players in a team to get the maximum salary. There is absolutely no such thing. However, with Lin Feng's heroic protection, Dawson and Morey began to make frequent moves. And the Houston Rockets' shot also led a big change in the entire Zhao team!
Pull one and move the whole body!
