Chapter 972 [Cabbage Price, Bad Contract]
After digging up three cost-effective veterans, the Kings seem to have locked up the championship of the new season, and many fans on the Internet commented that the game was not suspenseful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
ESPN basketball expert Nicholas wrote: "I think the Kings can hit the best record of 80-2. I wouldn't be surprised that they won all of them. When Wade, Curry, and Wang Jun are on the floor together, who can stop their offense? β
At the press conference for the new signings, Wang Jun returned to Sacramento to welcome. In the current market situation, it is very rare to be able to sign useful players at such a low price.
"At this point in my career, I just want to win." West said in an interview: "I didn't want to be in a place where I was just fighting for a playoff spot, I wanted to go to a place where I could really taste the Finals, so I chose the Kings. β
Wade said something similar. "I joined the Nets last year for a championship, and I didn't expect it to end like that. Now that I'm going to team up with Wang Jun, I don't believe I'll lose again. β
The reporter asked: "If you failed to defeat Wang Jun, will you feel regret when you retire in the future?" β
"Isn't that normal? Of all the No. 2 players, has anyone beaten him in the playoffs or in the Finals? Wade replied.
He completely wanted to open it. Looking at the past data, he has also won against Wang Jun a few times, and many stars have been blown into scum.
"I like China, I've wanted to partner with Wang Jun for a long time, I'll try to help the team, I don't think it matters how big the contract is," Stoudamire said. β
Next summer's new televised contracts will skyrocket the salary cap, and managers are scrambling to finalize as many contracts as they can before then, and players are worth as much as they go.
Executives know that what seems like a risky long-term deal this year may be less painful next year, with almost all teams spending money. In the free market, only the king has a cheap sign-in for the big names, and the three veterans can be counted as the price of cabbage.
For next year, there are a lot of bad contracts coming out of the free market.
Reggie Jackson, a Thunder substitute, renews the Pistons for 5 years and 80 million, which is unimaginable.
He averaged 14.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6 assists per game last season, which looked pretty good, but he actually shot just over 40% from the field and 29.6% from three-point range. In the past, this kind of player was at the middle level, which one of Kassel, Miller, or White Chocolate was not better than him? Never got such a big contract.
That's what happens when the teams compete for an offer. In cold financial jargon, the Pistons misunderstood Jackson's market dynamics.
The Pelicans signed center Omir Asik for 5 years and 60 million, which is definitely a signing to pit the team. Last season's 7.3 points and 9.8 rebounds, with a 51.7% shooting percentage, seemed like a fierce player, but it was not.
With the slow-paced and limited offensive playfulness of the seven-foot man on the floor, the Pelicans are netting 22.5 points per 100 possessions. He can only grab rebounds and resist people, and defense has never been worthy of his reputation.
Asik isn't the worst signing yet. Kevin Garnett, who became a free agent, signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Timberwolves.
There is no strong team to ask Garnett, he is an ordinary interior blue-collar worker, but the Timberwolves are willing to be the leader.
Last season, the 39-year-old veteran Garnett was traded back to the Timberwolves, and the data was a mess, and now he is playing the emotional drama of "returning to the roots", and not many people buy it at all.
Others "return to their roots" are either competing for the championship, or winning the championship and coming back to bring newcomers, what is Garnett doing when he returns to the Timberwolves? Make money, and by the way, help the team mess up.
On the Internet, some fans joked: "Of course, Garnett deserves an annual salary of 8 million, he will become the boss of the locker room and beat the unconvinced newcomers first." β
Even more outrageous happened to the Cavaliers, where Kristan Thompson wanted a super big contract for 5 years and 80 million, and negotiations with the Cavaliers reached an impasse.
He's just a blue-collar who lacks offensive power, and the Warriors' Klay Thompson is only 70 million in 5 years, what's the reason?
If Thompson is not renewed, the Cavaliers will have to let James play the No. 4 position, and there will be no qualified bench. If you give Thompson a long-term contract with a high salary, it is basically charity, and it is not of much use.
Wang Jun was very happy after reading the news, and the signing of the Kings seemed more worthwhile. The 18 million signing of Patterson in three years last year was not bad, and Patterson could at least open up space.
James felt deep sorrow. If you send a person like Thompson to the king as a marginal person, the other party doesn't have to be.
Some people are optimistic that the Cavaliers will reach the Finals next season, and James is broken in his heart, even if he enters the Finals, can he win against the King?
At the end of July, Wang Jun officially renewed his contract with the Kings and signed a five-year 148 million salary cap, he played in the NBA for exactly 10 seasons, counting the 2008-2009 season that only played a few games, which is 11 seasons, in line with the terms of a 10-year veteran.
When the Kings first poached Wang Jun, it was a five-year top salary, and with the increase, he surpassed the Pelicans' "thick eyebrows" Anthony Davis's five-year 145 million, becoming the NBA's highest salary, far better than the 129 million that the Knicks signed Carmelo Anthony last season.
Seventeen years ago, Jordan was 33 million a year, and he was finally caught up, and Wang Jun deserved this high salary.
A lot of people discuss it online, and in comparison, Robertson, Abdul-Jabbar, and they are known as having stronger defenses, and the players are too cheap.
Few people know that George McCann, the first emperor of the NBA, signed with the Lakers with an annual salary of $15,000 for the first time, and his highest annual salary was only $35,000.
Uncle McCann took the lead at that time, with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars, ruled the NBA during the season to build a dynasty, and taught himself to take the bar exam during the holidays. In 1996, he admitted that he had never had a sneaker contract in his life, so he played ball, and when he retired, he still hoped to make money as a lawyer.
This figure is actually quite a high salary.
When seven-time assist king Bob Cousy signed for the Celtics, he shouted for 10,000 yuan, and was returned by the cardinal for 9,000, so he could only accept it in anger.
In 1979, the league's highest-paid annual salary, Abdul-Jabbar and Dr. J, were only 650,000, which is really a hellish league, no wonder many people would rather play street ball than enter the NBA.
"Magic" Johnson used to be stupid and naΓ―ve in the 80s, signing a magical contract of 25 million for 25 years. As everyone knows, his matchup with Larry Bird, coupled with the skyrocketing broadcast fees of the NBA, at the end of the 80s, an annual salary of 3 million became the standard for stars. In ten years, the maximum annual salary has basically increased fivefold!
In the early 90s, the Magician's salary was low in the team, so he was so anxious that he went to the boss's office to ask for a price increase, but unfortunately he was diagnosed with AIDS, and the story was different.
In the same era, Jordan's salary was only a few million, but he was not in a hurry. In the early 90s, Jordan's annual business income was already five or six times his salary.
It was from Jordan in the early '90s that superstars became less and less rare. When Barkley switched to the Rockets and Jordan returned to the Wizards, they both declared that as long as 1 million a year, a symbolic salary, there were endorsements anyway.
So, the irony is that the more players earn their salaries, the less they care about their wages, and for Wang Jun, this is just a number.
James signed a two-year contract with the Cavaliers in order to become a free agent in 2016, maximize benefits under the new salary cap, and sign the most amazing max contract to prove his worth. Wang Jun is not as calculating as him, he doesn't care if he is one or two million, and a few million is nothing.
Throughout the holiday, Wang Jun spent time at home with his relatives and enjoyed life.
He's cut back on training and only does longevity and underwater training, and he's already conquered the NBA, and he doesn't feel the need to play with his life while practicing.
It's just that he thinks so himself, and letting someone else do his underwater training for an hour is playing with his life......
