The answer ...... What does it mean?

The reporter didn't understand what Liu Mang was going to say.

What else can Liu Mang say, he is not a fool, and he will not really think that he can get that exaggerated 160 million US dollar contract this year because of public opinion.

If it was ten years later, Liu Mang would dare to ask for a bigger contract, but now, the salary cap is so big, take 160 million...... Not to mention the soup, if you don't leave a little bone for your teammates, how can you play?

Liu Mang can have the current achievements, if Liu Mang sacrificed something in the past season, then in the first four years, Liu Mang was enjoying the sacrifice of his teammates, which complemented each other.

After asking a few questions, Liu Mang was playing haha, and Schwartz next to him breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said that Liu Mang was on vacation and didn't want to talk about these things in the offseason, ending the temporary press conference in Miami.

Schwartz then contacted ESPN and asked them to help guide public opinion and reduce the negative impact of the incident on Liu Mang.

It seems that the fans are now spraying the league system, but in the end, it will become a black spot for Liu Mang, and the final public opinion will most likely lead to Liu Mang's "insatiable".

After the press conference, Liu Mang returned to the villa in pain, and he could fly into trouble during his vacation, what is this called!

……

……

The intensifying public opinion always needs to be resolved, mainly in the alliance, as long as Liu Mang's side does not respond positively.

Is there any way to solve it, then make a clause!

Just like Arenas was forcibly poached by the Wizards, many teams were dissatisfied with the rules, worried that they would also dig up the treasure in the future and be forcibly taken away by other teams, and launched public opinion to protest to the league to get the Arenas clause, and the league met overnight to come up with a solution, or use the clause to solve it.

June 26, 2006, the eve of the draft, was a day that would go down in NBA history.

The NBA officially announced that it is preparing to introduce a new rule this summer - the "Quality Rookie Clause", which caused a sensation among fans for a while, and fans had a sense of accomplishment that they "won"!

Liu Mang also waited in front of the TV, and not long after he returned to the villa after a press conference in the afternoon, he saw the news that NBA officials would respond to the topic of salary that fans were concerned about tonight.

Seeing the first version of the new clause, which is the version that was temporarily used to deal with the media and fans, is probably similar to the new clause that the league gave in the collective bargaining agreement after Derrick Rose won the regular season in the third year, when fans and the media launched a similar public opinion offensive.

However, since Liu Mang has already passed his rookie contract, there are some changes.

The "Premium Rookie Clause" clause is divided into two versions: first-round rookie and second-round rookie.

The first-round rookie is, basically, similar to the Rose clause, that is, in the rookie contract, if he is selected to the All-Star team twice, or is selected as an All-Star starter twice, the rookie can get the same salary and contract length after the rookie contract is over, which can be the same as that of a seven-year veteran.

A second-round rookie is a contract extension with the parent team if the team has space or meets the bird rights after the rookie contract ends, and if he is selected to the All-Star team twice during the rookie contract, or twice selected as an All-Star starter, he can enjoy up to 30% of the salary cap and enjoy the seven-year veteran clause in advance.

The prerequisite is to be named to the All-Star team or All-Star start at least twice, or to win the regular season MVP or championship MVP

That is, players who sign a two-year rookie contract must be selected as an All-Star starter for the first two years of their careers, or be named to the All-Star team.

The All-Star bench is not good, it must be an All-Star starter.

The biggest difference with the Ross clause is that it is a special case given for the current situation, that is, Liu Mang's situation.

Each team has one chance to raise their salaries in the remaining or unfulfilled contracts for players who have already signed a second contract before the implementation of the new terms and if they meet the terms.

This clause, in terms of the second-round draft, is actually specifically for Liu Mang, if Liu Mang does not extend his rookie contract for one year, even he will not be able to meet this requirement, it is too harsh.

Not to mention the second-round pick, the first-round pick is very demanding, unless an All-Star start in the rookie season like Grant Hill and Tim Duncan, it is basically impossible for anyone to do it, especially in this era when rookies mainly sell potential.

Liu Mang extended his rookie contract for one year and was included in the list of contracts they gave that could be improved, in addition to Liu Mang, among the current young players, only Wade, James, Yao Ming, and Stoudemire are as strong as Stoudemire, all of whom lost hope because of the reimbursement of the fourth-year season.

In an era when the big four quarterbacks are rampant, three of the big four forwards are still in their prime, and there are new generation players such as Liu Mang, James, and Wade, it is basically impossible for other young players with rookie contracts to meet the requirements.

But don't say, this clause has made many team management very satisfied! Make it easier for the parent team to keep the treasures dug from the second round!

Although this clause has an official name, the news headlines given by major media are called "ICE-Clause", that is, the Ace Clause.

Following the Arenas clause, there is another clause that favors the parent team and at the same time satisfies the players.

But...... When Liu Mang saw this clause, how did he feel calculated?

It looks like it's helping him get a high salary, but in fact there is the possibility of restricting the Eagles' operations!

Suddenly helped Liu Mang increase his salary by one-sixth, Liu Mang's original salary next season was 15.12 million US dollars, and now it may be 2.52 million US dollars more, and all of a sudden it will be 17.63 million US dollars, which will directly become the top few in the league!

Liu Mang remembers that in the season just ended, Kobe Bryant's salary was only 15.95 million US dollars in the tenth year of his career, and next season's salary was 17.56 million US dollars, and he was only in the sixth year of his career, which was more than Kobe's salary in the eleventh year of his career!

It's not just about pulling hatred, it's about starting to stir up the relationship between Liu Mang and other stars, players like Duncan and Iverson will have a salary of almost 17 million US dollars next season, and Maddie will be a little less, more than 16 million......

Liu Mang hurriedly went to check, in addition to Garnett, O'Neal and Alan Houston, who retired early with a 100 million yuan contract, Chris Webber of the 76ers, Jermaine O'Neal of the Pacers, and the salaries of other players are all under 17.63 million US dollars, Liu Mang is about to become the sixth highest paid player in the league!

Just like Garnett got a contract extension of 100 million yuan after playing in the second year, was ridiculed by Jordan, and hated by many superstars at the time, Liu Mang felt like a mang!

Liu Mang smelled a strong sense of conspiracy, this time it was not the alliance, judging from the news, the alliance was also caught off guard.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong! Liu Mang felt how sinister Wang Tu's hegemony was after success!
