While Zhang Kong was still enjoying happy basketball, Cleveland on the other side of the ocean was undergoing a reshuffle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Zhang Kuandai's 40 million contract arrives, even Dan Gilbert has some unbearable, although many Chinese businessmen have recently entered Cleveland, bringing some budget to Dan Gilbert, but he still has to cut the personnel, the current Cavaliers lineup is all 20 people, and the interior line accounts for a relatively large proportion.

The current Cavaliers lineup is like this, inside: Antoine Jamison, JJ Hickson, Ryan Hollins, Anderson Vallejo, Leon Bowie, Cedric Jackson, Loren Woods, Samardo Samueels, Darko Milicic, according to the current situation, Antoine Jamison on the inside line will definitely stay, Vallejo will stay as one of the Peugeot in the post-James era, JJ Hickson will also stay, Milicic will also stay, The general team on the inside line is to leave about five people at most, and now it has accounted for four places, and the remaining one place will be selected from these personnel, compared to the inside line, the outside line personnel selection space is much larger, the current list of outside personnel is: Ramon Sessions, Anthony Parker, Joey Gram, Daniel Gibson, Gamario Moon, Jevard Williams, Danny Green, Mo Williams, Manny Harris, Tasmin Mitchell and Tan Aienga.

Of course, there is Zhang Kong, in addition to Zhang Kong, the remaining players are relatively simple, Sessions is just signed this summer will definitely fall, Xiao Mo will definitely stay like Vallejo, Gibson will also stay as a newcomer with more positive potential, Parker is estimated not to leave, Moon has an impact, so the candidates have been picked out six, these six plus the five people on the inside, there is a total of 10 people on the list, and the rest will compete for the last five places, which may not be enough for five.

For NBA teams, there is no requirement for the number of players on the lineline for a team, and the number of players on the line for a team is 15.

In other words, only fifteen people can receive a salary, and for these people, being able to receive a salary is the most important thing.

Because the Cavaliers' first-round pick was No. 30, it didn't mean much to the Cavaliers, so they traded it to the Timberwolves in the summer, and then got Sessions from the Timberwolves.

The only ones who are more favored are the champion and the top eye, the top pick is John Wall from the University of Kentucky, and was finally picked by the Wizards, the list eye is Evan Turner from Ohio, and was finally selected by the 76ers, and the third is Derrick Fepfus, who was finally selected by the Nets, and the rest of the players, the Cavaliers are not very concerned.

Now the main thing for them is to choose a starting lineup that belongs to the Cavaliers, according to the new head coach Byron Scott's idea, Zhang Kong's arrival must be to play the starter, and the starting point guard will definitely give Zhang Kong.

Although Xiao Mo is unhappy, but he will definitely occupy this position, then Xiao Mo will play the second position, Anthony Parker will come to the third position, Antoine Jamison will play the fourth position, Vallejo will play the fifth position, the current Cavaliers lineup will be arranged like this, and the bench will consider the problem of substitutions, and now they need to reduce the number of personnel by at least six.

Of course, for Zhang Kong to take the lead when he comes, some people will still be unhappy in their hearts, these people are mainly Xiao Mo, and in the end, he has not said much bad things about Zhang Kong these days, but even if the high-level knows that he said bad things about Zhang Kong, they don't care too much.

Which team's locker room is not a little contradictory, even if it is the original Rocket, there is no contradiction between Yao Ming and Maddie from time to time, this is the NBA, a world dominated by interests, Zhang Kong's arrival robbed Xiao Mo's starting point guard, Xiao Mo was naturally unhappy, he was put in the second position by Scott like Deng Ward with Liu Wei, which can be seen from the recent training matches in the team, Scott is not ready to reuse Xiao Mo too much like last year, Xiao Mo is the life of the second child.

"The salary is a bit over-the-top, isn't it?" At this time, looking at the people who were practicing off the field, Scott stood behind the owner Dan Gilbert and said with a smile, it is not the middle of the season, and the coach is also the top of the team, so it is not a big problem to say something like this.

"yes...... Zhang Kong alone has a $40 million slot, so we need to trade some players, and this problem is really enough for me to have a headache right now! "The current Cavaliers are on the ten-man roster, and the salary scale is as follows.

Zhang Kong's annual salary is 40 million, and his contract expires in the summer of 2013. Mo Williams earns $9.3 million a year and his contract expires in the summer of 2012 (with an 11-year team option). Anthony Parker is 2.86 million and his contract expires in the summer of 2011. Ramon Sessions 3.96 million with a contract that expires in the summer of 2013. Gamario Moon 3 million, contract expires in the summer of 2011. Daniel Gibson 4.02 million, contract expires in the summer of 2013. Anderson Vallejo 7.03 million, contract expires in the summer of 2015. Antoine Jamison 13.36 million, contract expires in the summer of 2012. Darko Milicic 5 million, contract expires in the summer of 2014. JJ Hickson 1.53 million, contract expires in the summer of 2011, with a team option (rookie contract) this year.

At present, the Cavaliers' $90.06 million ranks first in the league, and you must know that this is only the salary of ten people.

There are still five places left, so now the boss must also find a way to cut the salary, in his eyes, except for Zhang Kong, the rest of the people can be sacrificed, this year's league gave a salary cap of $58.04 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is $70.3 million, of course, this trigger line is the same for the current Cavaliers.

It doesn't make sense, one empty account for $40 million, and the remaining $18.04 million where to find 14 players.

So now Dan Gilbert needs to think about how to keep this salary under $100 million.

Recently, he heard that Xiao Mo was very dissatisfied with Zhang Kong, and his $9.03 million was a bargaining chip that could be traded, because now with Zhang Kong, he didn't need to play the No. 1 position anymore.

Then there's Antoine Jamison, and if his injuries continue to go back and forth like this, then there is nothing wrong with trading him.

More than $13 million, plus Xiao Mo's $9.03 million, together the Cavaliers' salary is below the luxury tax trigger line, of course, this is just what Gilbert thinks, at present he wants the championship, not a luxury tax problem, as long as he wins the championship, even if he gives the league $50 million in luxury tax, he is happy, not to mention that he can't pay such a high.

"Byron, please, this preseason has been honed well, Zhang Kong has confirmed that he will return in the middle of this month, and then it will be time for our Cavaliers to rise again." Dan Gilbert patted Byron Scott on the shoulder.

His boss is usually more decentralized, otherwise Mike Brown would not have been so blatantly become James's nanny, but now that James is gone, Mike Brown is naturally gone, but the originally lifeless Cleveland is now rejuvenating his second spring, because they heard that the superstar is coming...... Zhang Kong entered the Cavaliers at a price of 120 million for three years, and the experts from the outside world called the beast a ruthless, Kobe Bryant won two championships, and the contract renewal with the Lakers was only more than 80 million for three years, and Zhang Kong dared to ask for 120 million directly in three years.

This seems to the outside world that Dan Gilbert is brain-dead, even if Zhang Kong wins the world championship now, he is still just a player, and such a player dares to ask for 120 million in three years...... It's a bit scary.

Experts from the outside world are all criticizing Zhang Kong's signing of the Cavaliers this time, but Cleveland in the center of the vortex is very calm, and the fans don't care how much luxury tax the team pays, they just want to watch the game, just to win the championship, last year's Pacers reached the finals under the leadership of Zhang Kong, and lost to the Lakers in the last game.

Someone once said that if Zhang Kong stayed on the court in the end, then the Pacers were at least 70% sure of winning.

It's a pity that losing is losing, and now Zhang Kong has joined the Cavaliers, has a better team, an owner who is more willing to spend money on the players, coupled with the strong injection of Chinese industry, at least in business, Cleveland is already more prosperous than when James was here, as for the record, fans have chosen to believe in Zhang Kong, believe in the Cavaliers.

In this case, the curtain of the preseason slowly opened, and the Cavaliers who lacked soldiers and generals in the first four games won three wins and one loss, showing the style of the strongest team in the league at the beginning, but everyone can see that this is just a false fire, these games are also instigated by Xiao Mo, he wants to give Zhang Kong a dismount, and on October 15th, Zhang Kong's plane came to Cleveland, on the same day, the Cavaliers also defeated the Spurs in the preseason, and the players did not come to welcome Zhang Kong, Only Darko Milicic called to greet Zhang Kong, and in this case, Zhang Kong set foot on Cleveland soil.

Staying in his new home, Dan Gilbert specially found a new villa for Zhang Kong, but unlike the Walkers, at that time, the Walkers lent you the villa and you can live here, while Dan Gilbert gave it directly to Zhang Kong.

Comparing the two, it can be seen that Dan Gilbert is not a stingy boss, at least he will buy people's hearts!
