If an NBA team has their eye on a Development League player in the middle of the season, they will generally not sign the player outright, but will first sign the player to a 10-day short contract, depending on the player's performance with the team.

Among them, the Spurs are one of the most favorite teams to give away ten-day contracts, such as Justin Duntumon and Eric Dawson in the Austin Bulls who have signed ten-day contracts with the Spurs, but in the end neither of them can stay with the team.

In fact, there are many people who can sign a ten-day contract in the NBA, but only a handful can actually stay.

The more famous is Chuck Hayes who was in the Rockets, Hayes who was still in the Development League signed a ten-day short contract with the Houston Rockets who were plagued by injuries, with a positive defensive attitude and excellent rebounding ability, he signed a two-point and ten-day short contract in a row and got a long-term contract to stay in the Rockets, and then stayed for six years, and even later became the starting power forward of the Rockets, which can be regarded as an inspirational model.

Of course, Hayes isn't the only inspirational player in the Development League, and now the Spurs' starting point guard, Danny Green, is one of them.

Green was drafted by the Cavaliers in '09 but cut before the start of the '10 season, and was subsequently briefly signed by the San Antonio Spurs, but was waived after two appearances, after which he joined the Renault Bighorn Sheep in the NBA Development League, and was re-signed by the Spurs after being spotted by the Spurs due to his consistent performance in the Development League.

Danny Green's contract expired at the end of last season, and the Spurs immediately sent a new contract of 3 years and 11.28 million in the summer.

It is precisely because of such successful examples of development league players that even if the salary of the development league is not comparable to that of other professional leagues, there are still many players who give up the opportunity to play overseas and choose to stay in the development league, patiently waiting for the opportunity to become famous, even though they also know that most people will never enter the NBA in their lifetime.

Just because the Development League is the NBA's talent pool and the direct train to the NBA, when team members need to make up for it, selecting players in the Development League is the most common way.

And what Li Yang is holding now is the most common way for development league players to enter the NBA, a ten-day short contract.

Li Yang had heard of ten-day short-term contracts before, and this thing was very famous, because people could always see the news that so-and-so team had signed a ten-day short-term contract with so-and-so player, and that kind of thing happened almost every week in the NBA.

However, the content of the ten-day short contract, Li Yang saw it for the first time, in addition to the obligations and rights that some normal players should fulfill, Li Yang saw the content of the ten day short contract about time and salary, which is undoubtedly the most important part of the entire contract.

The first is time, a ten-day contract is a player's contract is only valid for ten days or three games, whichever is greater.

For example, the Spurs only have eight days to play the next three games, so Li Yang's contract can end two days after the last game.

For another example, if the Spurs only have two games in the next ten days and only have a third game on the eleventh day, then Li Yang's contract will end after the third game is played on the eleventh day. Of course, under normal circumstances, the NBA's schedule is not so loose.

The other is the salary, which is related to the minimum salary in the league and the number of appearances of Li Yang. The league's minimum annual salary this year is $430,000, and the salary that Li Yang can receive is $430,000 divided by 82 games, multiplied by the number of times he has been on the activation list.

This means that Li Yang does not necessarily need to get a chance to play, as long as he can be on the activation list, even if he just sits on the sidelines, he can receive a salary.

And if nothing else, Li Yang should not have a problem receiving a salary, since the NBA shutdown in the summer of 11, the NBA team's activation list has increased from 12 players to 13 players, as long as Corey Joseph and Nando De Colo continue to stay in the Development League, it means that Li Yang will automatically enter the activation list.

If all goes according to this, Li Yang will receive a salary of $15,732 for three games.

It's understandable why it's just a ten-day contract, but the Austin Bulls players are still envious, and in addition to the opportunity to stay in the NBA, even if they can't, the ten-day salary is a good income for them.

You know, in the Development League, the highest annual salary is only $25,000, and most players will not earn more than $15,000 a year, taking Li Yang as an example, if he plays a full season in the Austin Bulls, he can only receive a salary of $13,000.

After reading the contract, there was almost no hesitation, Li Yang signed his name,

"Welcome to you, Jan, and I hope you will be able to stay in San Donio through your efforts and performance. Taking Li Yang's contract, RC Buford said with a smile.

Li Yang nodded and said firmly, "Of course, sir, that's my goal." ”

"I'm sure you can do it, okay, go pack your things and come with me to San Toanio. ”

After saying goodbye to RC Buford, Li Yang was ready to go to his place to pack his things, but after thinking about it, he felt the need to say goodbye to his teammates who had been fighting side by side here for several months, because after leaving, he was not ready to come back.

"Hey, Young, our Spurs players, have you got your contract?"

Li Yang turned back to the training hall, and when he saw Li Yang appear, Jermichael Green shouted immediately, he was always so active.

"Yes, Jermichael, I've got it, come and say goodbye to you. Li Yang replied, and then began to say goodbye to his teammates.

"Yang, do a good job!"

"Young, we await the good news that you're staying at Spurs. ”

The familiar teammates sent blessings to Li Yang one after another, and the unfamiliar ones also said a word or two of "come on".

Li Yang said goodbye to almost every teammate, and then only Justin Duntmon and Eric Dawson, who were far away, were left, and after glancing at the two, Li Yang turned around and walked towards Tyler Jenkins.

Don't be funny, Li Yang has never thought of such a thing, and he doesn't want to be bored.

However, there are often people who like to talk about themselves and be bored, watching Li Yang say goodbye to everyone, and seeing Li Yang completely ignoring himself, Justin Duntumon finally couldn't help but say sourly:

"Eric, is the ten-day contract remarkable, as if we never signed it. ”

Hearing Duntmon speak, Eric Dawson immediately said in harmony: "Justin, it looks like some people think they're on a ten-year contract. ”

"Whew!" Justin Duntumon chuckled, "Dude, I can guarantee that someone will be back here in ten days." ”

"Justin, don't freak out the little doll with the truth. Eric Dawson's tone was similarly full of mockery.

Li Yang, who was walking towards Taylor Jenkins, stopped, turned his head, looked at the two of them singing and harmonizing, the corners of his mouth raised, and asked with a smile: "You two, do you know what I admire most about you?"

After asking, without waiting for the bewildered Deng Temeng and the two to react, Li Yang continued: "It's your spirit of entertainment, you know, not everyone has the courage to please others with their own troubles. ”

Listening to Li Yang's words, Jermichael Green and the others couldn't help but laugh, Li Yang of course referred to the fact that both of them signed contracts with the Spurs, but there was nothing left.

When Li Yang continued, a loud laugh suddenly rang out in the venue.

"Dude, listen to me, if in Nevada, like Las Vegas, such a great entertainment ability, for a male prostitute (PIMP), oh sorry, I mean the player is important, but this is Texas. ”

As he spoke, Li Yang muttered again: "I've been getting some words wrong lately, oh, it seems that there is no NBA team in Nevada." ”

"Hahaha!"

Laughter rang out throughout the arena, and when Li Yang talked about Nevada, the only state in the United States where prostitutes can be legalized, they didn't think of what Li Yang was going to say, but the latter words were too ruthless.

This can be seen from the faces of Justin Duntumon and Eric Dawson, who listened to Li Yang's words with dark faces, and Eric Dawson immediately shouted "fu*ckyou" and rushed up.

It's just that he was stopped by Jermichael Green and others before he could get close, who made Tyler Jenkins shout "stop him".

"Yang, when you get to San Don Anio, you have to restrain your temper. Walking up to Li Yang's side, Taylor Jenkins shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Li Yang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Coach, they provoked me first." ”

"Okay, but the Spurs players are very good to get along with, so it shouldn't happen. Tyler Jenkins had no choice but to say this at this time, he didn't blame Li Yang, as a young player, who doesn't have a little temper, not to mention that he saw that Duntmont and Dawson had always been provocative.

"Young, when you get to San Donigo, whether it's on the team or in the game, you have to show your defensive and off-ball ability better, Pop likes players who work hard defensively, you have to impress him with that, in offense, in the Spurs, you don't have so many ball-handling offenses to you, but if you can get the opportunity to attack the basket directly, you will get the ball from your teammates. ”

"Your first priority now is to keep yourself with the Spurs, so you need to do those two things well. ”

......

I have to say that Taylor Jenkins is really good to Li Yang, although he has told Li Yang many things, but now he still picks out some important things and repeats them with Li Yang, and Li Yang also wrote them down carefully.

After saying goodbye to Tyler Jenkins in thanks, Li Yang left the arena and returned to the rented house, and after simply packing up some necessary things, he went to San Donio with RC Buford.
