296: The Difficulties of the Super Team, the Birth of Bat Rights (4.5K Votes)
Wimbledon, the mecca of tennis.
Every June, after the NBA's most intense finals, the Wimbledon tennis tournament will follow.
Well, this year's NBA Finals weren't intense at all.
You didn't see my sister-in-law almost catching a cold on the bench.
Wayne looked at the entry list for this year's Wimbledon, and it was a collection of matryoshka dolls.
Rodionova, Pavlyuchenkova, Likhovtseva, Puchkova and Wayne's Sharapova......
But all Russian players are XXX babies.
No nesting dolls!
Speaking of which, Wayne also took a photo with a Chinese player yesterday.
Don't get me wrong, it's not Li Na, who will become popular in the future, but another Chinese women's tennis player, Sun Tiantian.
Many people may be very unfamiliar with this name, but she is the first Chinese tennis player to win a gold medal at the Olympics.
Originally, Wayne just went to say hello to his compatriots out of politeness, but as a result, he made headlines in a daze......
"Wayne watched the game on the spot, cheering for Sun Tiantian!"
"Fuxing Wayne watched the battle, Sun Tiantian successfully advanced!"
"Chinese forces are assembled at Wimbledon! 08 Olympic Imagination! ”
Well, at this time, similar news in China must be grabbed.
That's the power of superstars.
No way, a superstar in the basketball world, no matter where he appears, is so eye-catching.
Today, Wayne came to watch Sharapova play, a fixture at Wimbledon every year.
I don't know if there will be people at Wimbledon this year.
If there are male fans who dare to run up to harass Shawa, Wei Zhanshen's iron elbow is afraid that he will make a big fuss in England.
For this reason, the British media, which has always been afraid of making things, has opened a special plan - whether Wayne will start with fans during Wimbledon.
Wayne:......
I'm good, I'm not the same person I used to be. Now, I'm a serious person, a serious basketball player.
Boozer, Bell: You fart!
Well, a basketball player who somehow became the focus of attention at Wimbledon.
I want to see it for the first time with Taizi...... When listening to tennis, Wayne was almost unrecognized.
But now, Wayne has a bunch of cameras pointed at him even when he just sits on the sidelines.
The British don't have much of a taste for basketball, but they're superstars.
The traffic of Viagra is still very large.
If you go to China to make a movie, the salary is estimated to be tens of millions.
What the? You say Viagra can't act?
Joke!
Do you need acting skills to make a movie?
Isn't it true that whoever has more traffic will beep?
The match was about to start, and Sharapova also gave Wayne a flying kiss after coming out.
Countless male fans looked up to the villain.
Is it okay to sprinkle dog food on the spot?
Just then, Wayne's phone rang, and it was Patterson.
Britain is about five hours ahead of the United States, which means that it is still early in the morning on the American side.
Call me early in the morning?
What's the situation?
"Hello Steve."
"Sorry to bother you during the holidays, Way. There is one thing I want to tell you in advance. ”
"Tell me, did you trade me? I don't blame you, Steve. Wayne made a joke.
"Wei, that's it...... Because of this, that, that, and ......that," Patterson told Wayne about the Wayne Clause.
At this point, the tennis game had already begun, but Wayne was in no mood to watch it at all.
This Wayne clause, on the surface, is that he can get 5% more salary. But in fact, this is to lock up the space for the Trail Blazers to renew their contract in a few years!
Why did Wayne react so quickly? Do you understand it as soon as you hear it?
Because in the original history, this is how the Thunder team was killed.
At that time, Durant and Westbrook both met Rose's terms, so it was difficult for the Thunder to keep Ibaka and Harden while renewing the contract of Durant and Turtles.
Even if Ibaka and Harden don't ask for a salary cap, they can't keep them.
Although Wei Shao voluntarily gave up the right to exercise the Rose clause in order to win the championship, the Thunder still couldn't keep everyone.
In the end, the bearded golfer got on the thief ship of the mosaic and became a generation of porcelain kings.
Of course, the reason at the time was more that the Thunder were unwilling to pay the luxury tax. The punishment of luxury tax is indeed very severe, and it is not that local tyrant bosses generally can't bear it.
But the Trail Blazers are more difficult than the Thunder, who only have Durant at 30% of the salary cap, and Harden and Ibaka are not asking for a max contract at the time.
Now the situation with the Trail Blazers is that if they want to stay, they have to keep three 30% caps, there's no doubt about that.
In addition to paying a large luxury tax, the move is mainly to tie down the operational flexibility of the pioneers.
In the future, they only have a veteran base salary to operate, and the draft pick is not high enough, the road to reinforcement is blocked, and the roster will definitely become top-heavy.
During the period of the Heat's Big Three, why did so many veterans come to Miami to hug their legs?
Hehe, you thought Pat. Doesn't Riley want a better role player?
But he couldn't!
In addition to the veteran's basic salary, I can't afford to sign anything!
So, even a little oil in the tank of the thunder . Allen, when he went to the Heat, he could only sign a veteran base salary.
Not a single cent more, not a single drop more!
As a result, although the Heat seem to have a strong lineup, the depth of the lineup is really insufficient. In the end, it was still a breath away from the dynasty.
And as soon as the Big Three are disbanded, the entire Heat will be a piece of chicken feathers.
Well, let alone the Lakers F4 second-generation eye.
The Heat won two championships, and the Lakers F4 second-generation not only did not win the championship, but also caused the fuse and catalyst for the rapid decline of the Lakers.
It wasn't until Mousse landed on the West Coast and PY to Longmei that the Lakers relented.
Therefore, the tragic example of locking up space and overdrawing the future can be said to be vivid.
What the? Super Battleship Warriors, you say?
The Warriors can get KD, because the time and place are favorable.
At that time, the Warriors' Curry was still in his second child labor contract, Thompson's 25% cap salary was signed early, which was not a big contract at the time, and Green's max salary was only 25% cap.
Then, the most critical thing is that the league's salary cap skyrocketed that summer, and more than 20 million salary space was added overnight, and the previous signing was not even money!
The time, place and people are favorable, so this can bring Du Xiaoshuai.
That's it, I only dare to sign a short contract with Du Xiaoshuai, for fear that I won't be able to bear it in the future.
Now, this kind of operation is completely impossible.
So, a few years later, it's really hard for the Trailblazers.
Will Gasol or Paul take a pay cut?
Well......
Although there is such a thing as a salary cut, it seems to be quite righteous.
But as far as Wayne was concerned, he thought it was very unjust, okay......
The brothers don't even have meat to eat after you, so it's a mess.
Paul only had his first big contract, and you asked him to take a pay cut?
I can't tell.
My sister-in-law is willing to be a virtuous helper, I don't want the ball, I don't want to be in the limelight, and I help the top five muscular man, but you still let him take a salary cut?
This is really not treating people as outsiders, oh, it really doesn't treat people as people!
Although the honor of playing basketball is very important, in the end, the original purpose is to make money.
It's really disgusting to want your teammates to take a pay cut at every turn.
Patterson called Wayne, presumably to have a conversation with Wayne.
If you three want to do something, hurry up, because in a few years, no one knows what will become of the Trailblazers!
Balance? Go to the special balance!
Let's hit it hard!
Before the power of Wayne's terms starts to show, take a fucking championship or two!
Since you're going to target my tyrant Allen, then don't blame me for Wei Ge's heavy punches.
Since you can't stop it, let's do it. I'm the god of war, who am I afraid of, let the storm come more violently.
Admit defeat is not to admit defeat, and will not admit defeat in this life. It's a big deal to carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, self-reliance and hard work!
Belch......
is worthy of being the successor of socialism, why didn't Wayne find that his consciousness was so high before?
Of course, on the phone, Patterson also put Danny. Angie openly incited the crowd and refused to trade Tony, by the way, really not on purpose, just deliberately mentioned to Wayne in passing.
"Okay, I see. It doesn't matter, it's still a few years away anyway. Now our goal is to grasp the present few years. Wayne said, gearing up.
Brother Anji, when you play against the Trailblazers in the future, you must not sit in the audience.
Otherwise, I might accidentally fly out.
I'm sure Bird would have liked to see that scene too.
Well, although Bird and Angie are teammates, the two don't have a good personal relationship.
As bad as Bird's personal friendship is, there is also the "refrigerator" McHale.
And these two members of the Green Army, who have a bad personal relationship with Bird, happen to have a close relationship with each other.
It's no wonder that Angie and McHale were able to make a hard deal.
The NBA's network is very complicated.
After presumably chatting with Patterson, Wayne hung up.
Looks like we'll have to make a trip back to Portland.
Wayne and Schwartz initially wanted to renew their contracts next year to maximize their benefits.
But for now, renewing the contract early is a win-win situation.
Because Wayne triggered the Wayne clause, even if the contract is renewed early, it is estimated that he will get a big contract of about 100 million yuan.
And renewing the contract in advance, with the current salary cap, can help the team save some space.
It's not much, but it's not enough to solve the problem of renewing a contract in a few years.
But there's one thing, and it's better than nothing.
Anyway, Wayne has just signed a 300 million contract with Nike, and he has it!
So this year's contract renewal, even if you lose a little bit, it's not a big problem.
Some small money, you have to be willing to let go.
Otherwise, this temperament will be pulled to the same level by Du Xiaoshuai.
By the way, did Xiao Huo still talk to me a few days ago, saying that he had reached a verbal agreement with the Magic team to renew his contract in advance?
Dumbfounded, if you don't renew the contract early, wait until next year, you are likely to trigger the Wayne clause.
It seems that it will be difficult for you to replace me alone now, Xiao Huo......
Wayne thought about it, and the game on the tennis court was over.
Sharapova easily crushed her opponent, after all, she is the favorite to win the championship, and her strength is still strong.
It's just that Wayne didn't know anything about the game process and just came to think about things.
Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed.
In the past few days, let's finish Wimbledon with my girlfriend first.
The next day, the NBA's summer transfer and free agent markets opened, and the league finally announced the new Wayne clause.
At this point, the alliance also has an additional thing called "bat rights".
A player who satisfies the Bird Clause has bird rights. Players who meet Wayne's terms have bat rights.
Of course, the fans didn't think about it so much, just one sentence: WGNB!
In the NBA, there was a clause named after a Chinese player, which was a beep for Liu.
Moreover, now the whole league has bat rights and interests in Viagra alone.
As a rookie, he can directly renew his contract with a maximum salary of 30%.
This is an unprecedented event!
Wei Ge is not only reaching the supergiant level of honor and status, but also the salary can reach the supergiant level!
The league gave Wayne the green light to raise his salary because Viagra's two championships and one MVP in three years were too good.
This is the recognition of Wayne's strength!
Well, fans certainly don't have to think about it in a few years.
Moreover, Wayne is currently the only one who meets the Wayne Clause.
To meet the terms, it has to be said that the conditions are still very harsh.
In Wayne's previous life, there were indeed not many people who could meet Rose's terms.
I really thought everyone looked like Wei Ge.
When the free transfer market opens, the first thing many teams do is sign rookies first.
The Trailblazers also welcomed Sun Yue, although Sun Yue was only a second-round show, but because of the Chinese market, Sun Yue's signing still attracted many Chinese reporters.
In the original history, Sun Yue did not play in the NBA in the first year he was selected.
It wasn't until after the '08 Olympics that he signed a contract with the Lakers.
But now, the Trail Blazers have directly signed Sun Yue in.
In fact, Sun Yue was eligible for the draft last year.
In the 2006 NBA mock draft, Sun Yue was predicted by many experts to be selected, and under the overall unsatisfactory conditions of the rookie level that year, some experts even believed that Sun Yue had the strength and possibility to be selected in the first round.
But later, due to various reasons, Sun Yue withdrew from the draft and postponed it to this year.
Therefore, Sun Yue is still a little famous in the United States.
As a tall defender, he has talent and potential.
It's just that there are too few high-level games played, and the CBA hasn't played seriously for a few years.
The Trail Blazers signed, even if they can't make the game, can be used as a publicity stunt.
If you can play, that's the best.
The second round of the show is originally a gamble.
If you bleed, you can't make money and you won't lose.
Oh, with the gimmick of Sun Yue and Wayne teaming up, even if he can't beat the Trailblazers, it's still blood......
After signing rookies, the teams began to reinforce like crazy again.
The biggest player in the free agent market this year is undoubtedly Carter, who is demi-human.
There were quite a few teams chasing Carter, and Patterson went to join in the fun.
While it's been confirmed that the team will be locked up in a few years, it would be great if Carter was willing to sign a short-term contract.
He also sent Wayne and Carter to PY, after all, Carter has always had a crush on Wayne since Wayne's Elbow of Justice got rid of Bowen.
Carter was very, very hungry for a championship, but he turned down Wayne.
"Thank you for having me, Wei. But before I go, you're already a champion team. So I went to win the championship, what's the point? ”
Wayne:???
What is the reason for this?
Well, the stars of this era may not have the habit of huddling together.
And at Carter's age, this is his last chance to get a big contract.
If you sign a short-term contract, you may not have a chance to get a big contract in the future.
The Trailblazers really don't have an advantage.
Pity.
If you bond with Carter as a teammate, you may be able to unlock a dunk or something......
It's all now!
At this time, the news also broke that Howard's team wanted to extend the contract to next year.
Although the Magic had been verbally promised before, as soon as the Wayne clause came out, Howard would definitely renew his contract next year to maximize the benefits.
Although he doesn't have bat rights yet, he may be satisfied next season.
But the Magic management wants to bring in Lewis this summer, where is the spare money?
Don't look at it, it's 5% more, but it's a lot of money!
They bit a reason: You have verbally agreed to renew the contract, how can you go back on your word?
From the point of view of integrity, Howard did deserve to lose.
Therefore, in the fan circle, Howard has another nickname of "Huo Loyalty".
used to satirize him for going back on his word.
Wayne shook his head, Huo Zhongzhong had left the mountain ahead of schedule......
This clause does not only affect the pioneers.
This summer is destined to be a chaotic summer.
Now, Wayne can't just be a spectator.
Because Schwartz told Wayne: "My team and I are ready to renew our contract early, so you can go back to Portland when you have time." ”
