265. Kobe Bryant's pay cut

Bryant and the Lakers canceled their previous contract extension and re-signed a new contract!

Previously, Kobe Bryant got a contract extension of 48.5 million for two years, 23.5 million in the first year, and 25 million in the second year. Because James, who can get the highest salary, even if he renews his contract with the Heat, the starting salary is only 22.9 million. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is the renewal contract, that is, the contract can only be officially submitted to the alliance renewal after the expiration of the contract, but it is only signed in advance.

After thinking quietly for a while, Bryant took the initiative to contact the management and took the initiative to seek a salary cut!

Kobe Bryant doesn't value money? Obviously not, it's just that the most important thing for him at this stage is the championship, and the most important thing is to give the team room to strengthen, so that he can have a better chance of winning the championship.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kobe and Kupchak held a press conference to announce that the previous renewal agreement was canceled, and the new renewal contract was 3 years and 58 million, with a starting salary of 16 million!

After the news came out, the fans were boiling.

Who said only Duncan and Nowitzki took the initiative to take a pay cut? And they have Kobe Bryant down so much? Directly from the league's top salary to the contract of an ordinary star!

All of a sudden, Kobe's status in the minds of fans has risen again, according to Kobe's current state, it is not a big problem to maintain an All-Star level for another three or four years until he is 40 years old, which can refer to Duncan and Nowitzki, who did not experience the reimbursement of the next two seasons, his physical condition is much better than Liu Ren's previous memory.

By this time, everyone knows that he will have a large salary increase in 2016, Kobe Bryant is now signing a 3-year contract of 58 million, and the salary will be 23 million in the 16-17 season, which can not be cheaper in terms of his attention and the income created by the number of fans for the Lakers!

However, the third-year contract is a player option, which gives fans a lot of room for imagination, but Kobe Bryant's salary is 30 million just after this season, and it has dropped by 14 million all of a sudden, which still brings a huge impact to fans.

Liu Ren saw the news on his mobile phone at home.

"Damn! This old man is really willing, even if he wants to renew his contract with the Lakers in 2016, he has to pay the highest salary! Even if he jumps out of the contract in 16 years, he will take almost 10 million less! I really didn't expect Kobe Bryant to do this! Liu Ren sighed, and his admiration for Kobe Bryant deepened a little more.

"It seems that Kobe Bryant is determined to win the sixth championship, but this is a good thing for us, Ah Ren, you have a better chance of winning the MVP! The Lakers have more salary space to recruit, and the record will definitely not be worse than this season, and you may have more opportunities to perform next season, if you win the championship in these two years, then we will have the highest salary in 16 years! Chen Hanni interpreted it from another aspect.

Businessmen, money fans! Liu Ren's emotion was broken by the girl's words.

But moved is moved, the future still has to plan to drop!

The Lakers' current goal is to recruit point guards, and the management attaches great importance to the choice of LaVine given by Liu Ren, as for other reinforcements to be put aside first, they are very concerned about Liu Ren's suggestion, but now that the free market has not been opened, they can only put it aside first, so they have not contacted Liu Ren for the time being.

"Nini, how much salary space do the Lakers have right now?" Liu Ren is not too clear about the current situation of the Lakers, only knows that there are many people who are leaving, and the specific salary space is not clear.

Chen Hanni took out her small notebook, she recorded everything, and there was a saying that a good memory is better than a bad pen.

"The Lakers have contracts next season with Gasol 7.8 million, Kobe Bryant 16 million, Whiteside 1.55 million, Nash 9 million, Green 1.27 million, Henry 1.2 million, Brother Alphabet 1.78 million, and your 6 million, your contract adds up to 44.6 million, Swaggy-P is about to renew, and now it occupies 1.2 million space, Bazemore also occupies 1.14 million, and Thackeray occupies 820,000. In total, it has occupied 47.76 million space, and the salary cap for next season is about 63 million, and there is still almost 15 million space. Counting Jeremy Lin, who may be traded, the team still has almost 7 million in space. Chen Hanni finished in one breath.

"I remember Jeremy Lin's salary next season is 15 million? How can there be 7 million left? Liu Ren asked suspiciously.

"His salary is so much, but the salary space he occupies is only 8.8 million." Chen Hanni glanced at Liu Ren, as if to say that it was terrible to be uneducated.

Get! Liu Ren knows that the Lakers still have room for reinforcement, as for who to recruit again, Liu Ren really can't remember it clearly, the changes in the league are quite different from what he remembers, and now the team already has so many talented players, plus the talent of LaVine who may come is explosive enough, and in a few years, the management will have a headache about salary.

However, the Lakers are willing to spend money, and Liu Ren does not have to worry about this stubble.

The players and fans on the Lakers' side all lamented Kobe's desire for a championship and the greatness of "treating money like dung", but it has passed like this, and they are more concerned about what Kobe can exchange for after freeing up millions of space, and which star can be brought in to strengthen the team.

Someone in Miami just showed a video of Kobe Bryant and Lakers management holding a press conference to a player of his own and smiled knowingly.

"Dwyan, I want to give you a salary cap, just like the Lakers did for Kobe, but the most important thing right now is to keep LeBron and Chris, what do you think? Only by keeping them can we be more competitive! Pat Riley said to Wade with a smile.

Wade was silent, what did he jump out of the contract for? Isn't it just for a longer and bigger contract?

But the Heat management is obviously unwilling to give, Wade has been discussing with the management about an early contract extension since the end of the season, according to the contract he signed in the summer of 10, he can renew the contract early or jump out of the contract after 4 years.

Wade wanted to renew the contract directly at the beginning, after all, the last two years of the 6-year 110 million contract are the big head, and the first four years are equal to a cheap contract relative to his value, if he can get a 3-year extension two years earlier like Kobe Bryant in the middle of the 09-10 season, he doesn't expect Kobe's 3-year 84 million contract extension, but just hopes to renew the contract on the basis of the existing contract.

But Pat Riley has been dodging the issue, and Wade has no choice but to jump out of the contract to put pressure, but Pat Riley bites and doesn't have that much room to leave James and Bosh behind.

No, it just so happened that Kobe took the initiative to cut his salary, and it was reduced by 14 million, Wade has a good face, and he is embarrassed to say that he wants to pay the highest salary.
