Chapter 413, Salary Renewal

Turning off the computer, Huang Yu remembered that Thunder lost, but he lost so badly and simply, he really lost his temper! No one can stand up to help the Thunder Twins is the most uncomfortable for key players, and both of them are the kind of people who won't shoot the table to help, and Harden is probably not able to get any chips if he is traded next season, after all, the other party is not fat, and it is strange that the Thunder's team can take advantage.

Last season, the Clippers, a luxury cruise ship, unexpectedly capsized, after all, when the Heat triumvirate was formed, they all went all the way to the finals, but now the lineup of Paul plus Huang Yu and super rookie Griffin can't play the Western Conference finals, and was even swept by the Spurs in the second round.

Therefore, it is normal for the Clippers to release rumors that they are going to disintegrate, especially since the Clippers players led by Paul have threatened to boycott the game, if Sterling is still in charge of the Clippers in the new season, they will definitely not play! Although this drove Sterling away, it also disgusted the new boss.

After all, although the player and the owner themselves are in an employment relationship, but the relationship between interests is a hostile relationship, Paul's strike is equivalent to cutting off the Clippers owner's job, although he is to refuse to discriminate against Sterling, but once this matter is seated, it will become a new recruit for many owners, and it is difficult for Paul to become the boss again in other teams.

Especially the Clippers, even if they don't trade Paul, they won't let Paul dominate in the locker room, what if he learns from the star next door to slap the table and ask for help, otherwise he asks to be traded! However, such a locker room is easy to fry, so the trade is the most reliable, which is why many media and teams have been paying attention to the Clippers, because normal management will choose to trade.

----------

Although after the Heat won the championship, some media thought that the current playoff game system was very unreasonable, and the Thunder did not even have a chance to return to their home court, which not only made the Thunder lose money, but also made fans have a deep resentment against the game system.

So Mr. President, who is about to retire, is anxious for the NBA team management to meet and discuss, and plans to reform the playoffs, mainly to make some political achievements in his final year.

In fact, the content of the meeting is very simple, the format of the 1985-2013 finals is 2-3-2, and if the playoff record is the same, the team that wins first has a home advantage, that is, the first two and the last two home games, and the middle three are the home of the team with a poor record.

This format has been criticized because once a team with home-court advantage loses one of its first two home games, the other team can use it to win the NBA championship for three consecutive home games, as was the case with the Thunder this season.

That is to say, the fifth game of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain was played at the home of the team with a poor record in the regular season. The first round of the playoffs, the division semifinals and the division finals are all 2-2-1-1-1.

Therefore, the team's NBA board of directors unanimously approved the amendment proposal, changing the Finals format that has been in place for nearly 30 years from 2-3-2 to 2-2-1-1-1, and the new Finals format has been officially implemented since 2014. In addition to this, during the Grand Finals, there will be an additional 1 day of rest between the 6th and 7th games.

And the meeting will also reconfirm the selection rules of the Most Valuable Player award in the championship game, because since the establishment of the NBA, except for the 63 time when the FMVP trophy was given to the players of the runner-up team, this award has been won by the championship player, so since 2014, this rule trophy has been broken, and the runner-up team players also have the opportunity to compete for the FMVP trophy.

With the opening of July 1, some teams that have reached a trade intention completed the deal in an instant, while the Clippers, who have been in the spotlight before, have not been able to make a trade for a long time, but only renewed Kenyon Martin.

Kenyon Martin joined the Clippers in the fire line to make up for the lack of forwards, and he performed very well throughout the season, averaging 7.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.

Although the new season is uncertain and can still get the starting position, a first bench is indispensable, so the Clippers signed a 3-year, 18 million 2+1 contract with Martin, with a player option in the final year.

Kenyon Martin thinks it's already very good, you must know that the mini middle class with the Clippers is only 2.5 million, which has increased nearly three times all of a sudden, but the agent is still a pity and wants to fight for a better contract, but he obviously can't help it, after all, Martin is still under contract with the Clippers, and other teams can only trade Martin if they want it, but Martin's value ...... In the end, I gave up, after all, Martin is not small, so let's make money with peace of mind!

Before the trade day opened, the Hornets who traded the biggest harvest last year traded Paul for half of the Clippers team, although a pair of role players, but the Hornets are all treasures!

Role players are needed by every team, and the contracts are not large (the Clippers are used to the kind that is basically the kind of rookie contract in the last two years, and the most expensive is only 5 million), especially Eric Gordon.

Eric Gordon came to New Orleans last year as one of Paul's trade chips, and although he was plagued by injuries in the regular season this season, the Hornets are still looking forward to Gordon, and they expect the "new Queen Bee" and the upcoming Anthony Davis to become the cornerstone of the team in the future.

The New Orleans Hornets traded with the Washington Wizards for the new owner's plan.

The Hornets sent Okafor and Ariza to Washington, while the Wizards sent "Mr. Billion" Rashad Lewis and the 46th pick in the draft next week.

The deal has greatly improved the overall strength of the Wizards and has added help to Wall, who was plagued by a left knee injury last season, which reduced his career-low 9.9 points per game to 7.9 rebounds, while Ariza averaged 10.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season.

And Lewis, who gave away two long-term contracts in exchange for Salad, had a junk contract of $24 million and cut it by July 1, saving nearly $10 million in salary space. Next season will be the final one season of Lewis' six-year, $118 million contract.

The Detroit Pistons made a deal with the Bobcats, and the Pistons got Bobcats small forward Corey Margetty with Ben Gordon and a future protected first-round pick.

The Rockets traded the Timberwolves' No. 18 pick with Chase Badinger and Israeli player Ilyahu before signing, and the Rockets already had three 2012 picks at this time, which shows the Rockets' determination to chase Howard this time. Although there were rumors that Howard himself had no intention of playing for the Rockets, and even said that if he was traded to Houston, he would leave the team next summer, that didn't affect Morey's plans to pursue him. Morey has said he is confident that Howard will change his mind and eventually sign a contract extension with the Rockets.

When Huang Yu saw the news, he sent a message to Howard, Morey told you to go to the bowl quickly!

And this guy Howard gave Huang Yu a back, trading Griffin + draft picks for me to go to the Clippers!

Seeing this message, Huang Yu silently replied with two words: "No way!" ”

Huang Yu and Howard play together, although Howard's private life is very messy, but when Huang Yu needs it, he can always come out to block the knife, just like last season's game with the Magic, everyone went out to play together after the game, everyone has a beautiful woman by their side, Huang Yu didn't like to give Howard a look directly, and the latter immediately hooked him up with a Prada bag, successfully letting Huang Yu get rid of his troubles and ruined money.

If Howard is now in the last years of his career, Huang Yu can take him to play with him and win at least one championship, but now that Howard is in his prime, how can Warcraft be willing to be the second in command or on an equal footing with others. (On the one hand, going to the Lakers is to get the ring in a group, and Howard probably doesn't plan to stay with the Lakers for long!) )

And Huang Yu received good news at this time, Mo Williams exercised the $8.5 million player option in his contract, which means that Mo Williams will decide to stay with the Clippers.

Mo Williams has a big slot on the Clippers' bench, playing in 52 games for the Clippers this season, averaging 13.2 points and 3.1 assists per game. He played in 589 career games, averaging 13.8 points and 4.9 assists per game.

Originally, the Rockets and Mavericks also wanted to pull the Clippers and Jazz to a four-way trade, and Huang Yu also knew that the Clippers were the biggest losers in the end, after all, Odom was no longer the left-handed magician.

----------

The trading market in July has opened, and the Eagle King Joe Johnson has also ended the lace news of the teams for half a year at this time, and the much-watched Eagle King has come to an end, since the Eagles changed a manager, Joe Johnson and the Hawks began to be incompatible, after all, the new general manager Danny Ferry.

Ferry served as general manager for the Cavaliers from 2005 to 2010 and built a good team around James. Now coming to the Hawks to make consecutive trades, it seems like they want to completely change this team.

Johnson signed a six-year, $124 million contract extension with the Hawks in the summer of 2010. Johnson currently has four years left on his contract and a total amount of about $90 million, so it is urgent to trade him out in exchange for some mediocre players, so that the Hawks can get rid of his big contract and find space for the team's subsequent development.

The Nets gave the most appropriate chips, with guards Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar and DeSean Stevenson, and forwards Jordan Williams and John Petro. In addition, the Nets also sent a first-round pick from the Rockets to the Hawks, which was protected by lottery. Stevenson, one of the five, is a free agent, so he took a sign-and-trade approach to the deal.

One for five and a lotto pick, the Hawks are simply making money, and Johnson is not bad to go to the Nets after leaving the Hawks, although he wants to be a redneck compared to New York next door, but at least it's a big city, isn't it.

"I don't carry this pot, and I don't have the ability to make them make a deal with you, besides, you won't even give Gasol, who will change it?"

Huang Yu explained something to the other side with an innocent face.

"Two first-round picks (2013 and 2015), two second-round picks (2013 and 2014), an $8.9 million trade exception, and $3 million in cash. Still want Paul? ”

Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy, and this trade chip didn't have to be worse than half a team.

"Draft picks? Are the Lakers' draft picks good? If I add Paul, I can try to communicate with the team and get you back cash and two second rounds! ”

Huang Yu pouted, draft sign? Is the Lakers' draft pick good? The first round is still a little clear, after all, the Lakers' results may not be good in the future, but who knows if the Lakers will have the situation in memory if Paul is replaced by Nash.

"The first round and the second round are one and one and a special case!"

Bryant tried to point more.

"Big brother, you can be said to be a man of his word in the Lakers, but I just renewed my contract, you can't treat me as the core! If you look at my contract extension, you know that I am a second-hand person. ”

Huang Yu said pitifully.

The Clippers offered Huang Yu's contract renewal for 5 years and 85 million, but was rejected by Bill Duffy, the Clippers renewed Griffin in advance and also renewed Griffin for 5 years and 95 million, and Huang Yu directly burned 10 million, what about playing?

Bill Duffy is even darker and 118 million in 5 years, or 63 million in 3 years, will the lion open his mouth? Bill Duffy doesn't think that Huang Yu's data over the years proves everything! The ability value is completely above Griffin, he can get an average of 19 million a year, why can't Huang Yu reach 21 million a year.

But the Clippers are Huang Yu's own, so they will definitely not give it at a high price, and in the end, both sides will take a step back and renew the contract at the final price of 100 million in 5 years! As soon as this contract came out, Paul had completely understood that he would either be the second leader in the Clippers or leave!

-----------

"Fuck off, I only have 83.5 million more money for 3 years to renew the contract."

"I don't carry this pot, and I don't have the ability to make them make a deal with you, besides, you won't even give Gasol, who will change it?"

Huang Yu explained something to the other side with an innocent face.

"Two first-round picks (2013 and 2015), two second-round picks (2013 and 2014), an $8.9 million trade exception, and $3 million in cash. Still want Paul? ”

Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy, and this trade chip didn't have to be worse than half a team.
