Chapter 387 [New Agreement, Take Advantage]

Wang Jun's training level has risen to 49.

After playing for a month, he didn't exercise less, and because of doing tasks, his reaction ability improved a lot, which was the most unexpected gain.

Because of the controversy, he continued to appear in sports news and entertainment news, stealing the limelight from many NBA stars, and finally the league did not stand up to express dissatisfaction.

The eighth season of "The Amazing Race" broke the ratings record of all reality TV shows, and audiences across the United States got to know Wang Jun.

Los Angeles Entertainment Weekly said: "Wang Jun is cheerful and sunny in the show, he cooperates well with his girlfriend, and he has become friends with other contestants, no one says he is bad, and several sports media, especially ABC radio, always promote him as a villain, I wonder about the authenticity of these news." ”

CBS Radio said: "Wang Jun is one of the best celebrities we have ever dealt with, he is a man of integrity and perseverance, he did not ask for special treatment during the recording of the show, and completed everything like an ordinary person." He is very popular in various countries. We will not invite the truly wicked. ”

The New Jersey media also spoke for Wang Jun. "I hope that when some media publish articles to slander Wang Jun, they will first consider whether the content is true and don't talk nonsense in order to attract attention."

Originally, ABC Radio admired Philip very much, and he relied on Hei Wang Jun to create a lot of news, but now, the leaders of ABC Radio hated Philip a little, and his actions affected the reputation of the station.

Peers are enemies, staring at ABC radio, and there are many media that want to catch them. At the same time as the blacks, ABC Radio was also hacked.

So, although Wang Jun did some dangerous moves in the show. The sports media has also stopped.

Only when you get hurt in the show do you have a handle, but no one gets hurt. How do you prove that those actions are dangerous?

The NBA Finals, seven battles between the two sides. The Spurs beat the Pacers 4-3 in a tiebreaker.

Reggie Miller cried like a child after the loss.

As a young man, he lost to Michael Jordan again and again; When he was old, he was passed by Parker and Ginobili again and again. It was his second finals, and his best chance to win the championship was not taken over.

Duncan is still the No. 1 contributor to the Spurs' victory, with three crowns and three MVPs. Now he has booked a spot in the NBA's top 50 superstars, and even the title of the best power forward in history.

In the matchup with O'Neal Jr., Duncan had the upper hand. He averaged 25.5 points, 14.7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game, shooting 44.3% from the field.

O'Neal Jr. only had 15.3 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, shooting 38.7% from the field.

Jackson and Artest are still great defensively, but they are not super scorers and are not easy to break the defense, and once Miller can't guarantee three-point firepower, the Pacers will be in trouble.

In the final game, the Pacers were dumb on the outside and completely lost under the joint defense of the Spurs.

This grand finale was intense. The average rating is only 8.2, the second lowest in the past 20 years.

The lowest ranked was the 2003 Finals Spurs vs. Nets, which was almost unattended, with a rating of only 6.5. This is the lowest since the NBA had live streaming.

David? When Stern saw the ratings statistics, he was so angry that he couldn't wait to take a submachine gun and shoot in the Spurs locker room.

The ratings of Spurs games have always been only half of those of the Lakers. Not to mention compared to Jordan's Bulls.

If not this time the Pacers have Reggie? Miller, many people want to see veterans realize their dreams. The ratings will be lower. In the end, Miller failed to realize his dream and collapsed in front of the trophy. And his sluggish play. Defensive leaks were the main reason the Pacers lost.

The only thing that gave Mr. Stern peace of mind was that the collective bargaining agreement had finally been finalized and that there would be no such shutdown as in 1998.

The 2005 collective bargaining agreement added some new regulations that allowed each team to kick one player before the 05-06 season. Players who are kicked out must be paid as part of the team's gross salary, but are not subject to additional luxury tax.

This ordinance was made for the Knicks, Allan? Houston's bad contract has deeply hurt the Knicks and the fans who support them.

For every dollar a team goes above the luxury line, they have to pay an additional dollar. The increase in the luxury tax is also for the Knicks, and each team can bring in multiple big names, and it is very cool to pay the tax.

All teams under the tax line get one-thirtieth of the luxury tax revenue, which is to take care of the league's short and poor people such as the Bucks and Bobcats, and not many fans have not yet made achievements, and the rest is up to the league to decide how to use it.

Rookies can renew their contracts for another 5 years. For players with Bird rights, the contract is renewed for up to 6 years, with an annual increase of up to 10.5%. For other players, it is 8% for 5 years. Top-paid players are divided into 25%, 30% and 35% of the salary cap based on the number of years they have been in the league.

Add "Arenas Clause".

Prior to 2005, there was a loophole in the collective bargaining agreement: second-round rookies who only signed a two-year rookie contract could get early Bird rights at best; Therefore, if their parent team does not have enough salary space, they can only use the early Bird Quan exception or the middle class exception to complete the contract extension.

As a result, there could be other teams with enough salary space to make offers for the restricted free agent that their parent team can't match.

In order to protect the rights and interests of the parent team, someone proposed to add a clause the year before last. This loophole was officially closed in this year's collective bargaining agreement: when a player with no more than two years of service in the league is contracted, the starting salary cannot exceed the non-luxury tax team middle class exception, and a 4.5% increase is allowed in the second year, and in the third year, the natural increase can be calculated according to the unrestricted first year, that is, the maximum salary can be reached, and the fourth year and beyond will be increased by 4.1% per year according to the annual salary of the third year.

Only if the maximum salary for the third year is fully guaranteed can the team offer a contract with such an increase, and at the same time, any form of bonuses and additional dividends must be excluded.

This keeps the second-round rookie's salary under control, not too high, but Bruce isn't happy.

Because he doesn't like Wang Jun more and more. This man is too free, and the boss can't put a shackle on him and control his behavior.

And if there is a team willing to give him a maximum salary offer, it is a very poisonous contract, low for the first two years and super high for the last three years.

The Nets can match, but the 2007-2008 season has to pay a lot of luxury tax, and it will be difficult to trade Wang Jun out at that time, unless he can play at a superstar level, but at a superstar level, who would be stupid enough to trade him?

Renewing Wang Jun's contract is a gamble for the Nets.

Bruce is an insatiable man, and the Nets have taken advantage of it.

Arenas and Boozer were both second-rounders, and they were not selected to the All-Star and All-Star teams during their rookie years, and they were both awarded large contracts with long years.

Wang Jun All-Star has Chinese fans voting, even if it is not counted, it is a real honor to enter the best second team, and he deserves a top salary.

The Arenas clause was unfair to Wang Jun, who should have been paid more for his strength, but no one spoke for him on either side of the collective bargaining agreement.

Almost every negotiation is to protect the interests of the management, and as a laborer, especially the rookie, can only accept it.

How to keep Wang Jun and who to trade, the Nets have to think about it seriously.

After the draft, the free market will open, and there will definitely be many teams to make an offer for Wang Jun, and the Nets will not have much time. (To be continued.) )
