The NBA has very detailed rules and regulations on the signing of contracts between players and teams.

For a player who has performed well in his rookie contract, the parent team is naturally willing to use the maximum salary to renew the contract to retain this potential stock.

According to the latest collective bargaining regulations during the 1999 NBA shutdown,

Players who have been in the NBA for 0-6 years can only sign a contract with the team with a maximum salary of 25% of the salary cap in the first year.

If you are a player with 7-9 years of experience, you can sign a contract with the team up to 30% of the salary cap starting at the first year.

Veteran players who have been playing for more than 10 years can sign a contract with the team with a salary cap of 35% of the salary cap for the first year.

This rule is logically more conducive to veterans who have played in the league for many years, and new stars who have played for less than 6 years have a limited maximum salary contract.

Obviously, this provision is not unrelated to Kevin Garnett's 100 million yuan contract with the Timberwolves.

The "Lin Wei Clause" issued now is on top of the original player salary regulations, giving more support and encouragement to the rising stars who performed well in the rookie period.

This is also in line with the basic philosophy of the NBA to create stars and pay attention to the growth of newcomers.

After Lin Fei learned of the issuance of the "Lin Wei Clause", he also felt a little surprised, it seems that he and Wade were born, so that the "Ross Clause" came out 5 years ahead of schedule.

However, after careful comparison, there are still some differences between the current "Linwei Clause" and the "Roth Clause" promulgated by the original world in 2011, and the threshold is higher.

The original "Rose Clause", which stipulated that the rookie contract period of the player,

As long as you can win the regular season MVP, or be selected as an All-Star starter twice in a row, or be selected to the All-Star Team twice in a row (no matter how many teams),

As long as all three meet one aspect, they can trigger benefits and sign a contract with the parent team with a starting salary of 30% of the salary cap.

But in today's "Lin Wei Clause", only winning the regular season MVP, and getting two All-Star starts, and two All-Star firstteam can trigger the clause benefits.

In other words, if you get two All-Star starts, but the All-Star team only once, or none at all, you can't trigger the "Linway Clause".

Obviously, it is more difficult to trigger the Lynway Clause than the Ross Clause.

Looking at the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of stars who have been able to meet the "Linway Clause" during their rookie years.

Although Lin Fei has signed two contracts with the Timberwolves and the Heat, he is still in the first three years of his career, so he can also enjoy the benefits of the "Lin Wei Clause".

The maximum salary contract finalized by Wade and the Heat in advance has not yet been officially signed, so the maximum salary amount can also be increased accordingly according to the "Linway Clause".

In the original world's "Rose Clause", the star of the penalty clause can only enjoy benefits when he renews his contract with the parent team.

However, in the "Linwei Clause", the league is more respectful of the choice of players, stipulating that whether it is with the parent team or with other teams, as long as the conditions are met, they can enjoy benefits.

When David Stern made this rule, he obviously took more care of Lin Fei, and at the same time did not want the Heat to be dominant.

But even so, because there is still the famous "Bird Clause", the new star who triggered the "Lin Wei Clause" still has a higher maximum salary than the parent team.

With the official announcement of the "Lin Wei Clause", NBA fans around the world are actively discussing this magical clause while looking forward to the start of the Finals.

"This "Lin Wei Clause" is still quite humane, superstars like Lin Fei and Wade really deserve a higher salary!"

"Wade has a regular season MVP, Lin is selected as an All-Star starter and the best team for two consecutive years, and he is also the All-Star vote king for two consecutive years, and he has been in a double team for two consecutive years, how can this glory be worth half of the regular season MVP, right?"

"It has to be the 'little emperor' James, two All-Star starts, a best 1 team and a best 2 team, which can also trigger the "Lin Wei Clause"!"

"Obviously, there are three people in the 03 golden generation who have enjoyed benefits, so why is this clause still called "Lin Wei Clause", shouldn't it be called "Lin Wei Zhan Clause"?"

"Bold, is this looking down on my little emperor?"

"If you want me to say, James is purely in the care of David Stern of the league headquarters!"

"It stands to reason that the "Lin Wei Clause" should be like Wade to win the regular season MVP, or like Lin Fei to have two consecutive All-Star starts and two consecutive first-team starts! So James is not one of them! ”

"It's too difficult to win the regular season MVP in the first three or four years of a rookie, or to be named to the All-Star starter and the All-Star team twice at the same time, right? Looking at history, there is only one Michael Jordan who has done it, and Magic, O'Neal, and Duncan don't seem to meet the conditions! ”

"After such a comparison, I feel that Lin Fei and Wade are really fierce, and the glory achieved by the rookie in the first three years is not at all inferior to any historical supergiant in the same period!"

"Of course, don't forget that Lin Fei already has two championships, Wade also has a championship, and they are about to win another championship in the Heat!"

"In the fifth game of the Eastern Finals, the Heat really showed their strength, right? In this state, I feel that the Mavericks can hold up to 6 games, and they can definitely kill their opponents without grabbing seven! ”

"The NBA's salary cap and maximum salary regulations are too complicated, and I, a math major, actually studied for a long time to figure it out!"

In the latest issue of "Sports Illustrated" in the United States, Lin Fei, Wade and James appeared on the cover at the same time, which is also the first three new stars to receive the benefits of "Lin Wei Terms".

The league has high hopes because they represent the NBA's future decade of glory.

ESPN also counted all the stars in NBA history who have won glory in their first three years of rookie glory since the Bill Russell era that could trigger the "Linway Clause":

Bill Russell,

Wilther Bolun,

Kareem Jabbar,

Larry Bird,

"Magic" Johnson,

Michael jordan

Shaquille O'Neal,

Vince Carter,

Grant Hill......

Of the nine stars, with the exception of Carter and Grant Hill, the remaining seven are all superstars in the top 10 of all time.

Even superstars like Tim Duncan and Hajim Olajuwon were not selected as All-Star starters twice because of their influence in the first three years of their rookie career.

And Charles Barkley, Carl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant are all historical superstars who are a little bit away from triggering the "Lynway Clause".

This also shows that it is quite difficult to trigger the "Lin Wei Clause" in the first three years of his career.

And now Lin Fei and Wade, plus a LeBron James, are enough to compete with the top ten supergiants in history in rookie honors.

After Jordan's retirement, the NBA experienced a brief trough, and now with the rise of super rookies such as Lin Fei, Wade, and James, coupled with changes in the rules,

Enter a new glorious era.

This is naturally the outcome that David Stern, the president of the league, wants to see the most.

NBA Headquarters, Olympic Tower, New York.

After taking the stack of financial summary documents handed over by Adam Joke and reading through them carefully, David Stern's face also showed a heartfelt smile.

"The league's total revenue this season has exceeded 3.4 billion US dollars, and it seems that the salary cap in the new season will rise a lot, and it is expected to exceed 55 million US dollars!"

David Stern knows very well in his heart that the biggest credit for the rapid development of the NBA in the past two years is Lin Fei.

The victory of the Heat Big Three made the charm of offensive basketball conquer the world again, and Lin Fei's influence is to drive the Celestial Empire market even more.

Compared with LeBron James, David Stern really wants to support Lin Fei, and in Lin Fei's body, Stern really sees Jordan's shadow.

But Jewish capital probably won't agree to him doing so.

In order to build momentum for the Finals, the NBA officially released the latest market value of each team in the league in the 05-06 season.

Among them, the market value of the Los Angeles Lakers was overtaken by the New York Knicks, and after experiencing the glory of the beginning of the century, they finally gave way to the Big Apple.

The New York Knicks' latest market capitalization is $630 million, while the Lakers are $610 million.

With a market value of $500 million, the Dallas Mavericks are significantly behind the New York Knicks and ranked third on this list.

The teams ranked 4-10 are the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons, Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics.

The Miami Heat's market value was only $270 million two years ago, and now two seasons have passed, with the team's rapid rise led by Lin Fei, O'Neal and Wade.

The market value has also soared to $490 million, an increase of 182% compared with two years ago.

In addition to the Heat, the market value of other teams has also increased significantly compared with the years at the beginning of the century.

With the promulgation of the rules to encourage offense, coupled with the sweep of the small ball whirlwind, the 05-06 season scoring explosion in the background,

The NBA's broadcast contracts around the world have also increased significantly, and the value of the league as a whole has risen.

In this regard, the players are naturally happy, because the increase in the total income of the league means the increase in the salary cap, which is naturally led by the increase in the salary of the players.

Assuming that the salary cap in the new season increases to 56 million US dollars, then Lin Fei will have a starting salary of 16.8 million US dollars in his new contract under the benefits of "Lin Wei Clause".

According to the four-year maximum salary, with an annual increase of 8%, Lin Fei's salary in the four-year contract will be 16.8 million US dollars, 18.14 million US dollars, 19.59 million US dollars and 21.16 million US dollars respectively.

The total salary of the four-year maximum salary contract will be as high as 75.69 million US dollars.

On the other hand, Wade, if he chooses to renew his contract with the Heat, then he will also have the blessing of the "Bird Clause" if he triggers the "Linway Clause".

The annual salary increase can be increased from 8% to 10.5%.

Since then, Wade's starting salary is also 16.8 million US dollars, and it will increase by 10.5% in the next three years, which are 18.56 million US dollars, 20.51 million US dollars and 22.66 million US dollars.

Then Wade's four-year contract salary to stay with the parent team Heat will be as high as 78.53 million US dollars, which is about 3 million US dollars higher than Lin Fei's maximum salary.

At the same time, ESPN also posted in the report that in the 05-06 season, the top ten superstars in the NBA salary that season:

No. 1: Shaquille O'Neal (Miami Heat), $20 million.

Second place: Chris Webb (Philadelphia 76ers), 19.13 million US dollars.

Third place: Kevin Garnett (Minnesota Timberwolves), $18 million.

No. 4: Allen Iverson (Philadelphia 76ers), $16.45 million.

Fifth place: Stephen Marbury (New York Knicks), $16.45 million.

No. 6: Jason Kidd (New Jersey Nets), $16.44 million.

No. 7: Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), $15.96 million.

Eighth place: Tim Duncan (San Antonio Spurs), 15.85 million US dollars.

No. 9: Jalen Rose (New York Knicks), $15.69 million.

No. 10: Grant Hill (Orlando Magic), $15.69 million.

With the expiration of the last max salary contracts of Garnett and O'Neal, the league's highest salary in the 05-06 season has also dropped significantly.

O'Neal, who ranked first, only has an annual salary of 20 million US dollars, which is a lot lower than Garnett's 28 million US dollars in 04.

Chris Webb, who ranked second, has declined significantly, and is obviously not worthy of his annual salary of more than 19 million US dollars, and the countdown to retirement has come.

The third-place Garnett's salary is 18 million US dollars, and after leading the team to win the championship with Lin Fei's light in 04, Garnett also renewed his contract with the Timberwolves for 5 years with a maximum salary of 100 million, aiming to end up in Minnesota.

Iverson and Marbury, who are fourth and fifth, both have a salary of 16.45 million US dollars, and their fortunes will now usher in a huge turning point.

At the beginning of the century, when the salary cap was only 40 million US dollars, coupled with the strict regulations on salary terms, the maximum salary of most stars in the league has been relatively stable in recent years.

Although like Lin Fei Wade, he is the first supernova to enjoy the "Lin Wei Terms", but LeBron James, who is on vacation in Los Angeles, has not been happy these days.

Seeing that Lin Fei and Wade are going to play in the finals again, there is a high probability that they may help the Heat win consecutive championships, so that the gap between his little emperor and Lin Fei Wade is even greater.

And it's obvious that all three of them have met the "Lin Wei Clause", why should it be called the "Lin Wei Clause", shouldn't it be called the "Lin Wei Zhan Clause"? It's okay to put him behind Lin Feiwade, how can you completely ignore it?

In this regard, James's public relations department also walked on the Internet to be dissatisfied and protested, hoping that the NBA headquarters could change the name of the "Linway Clause" again.

However, James is also a self-aware person, even if he is tied with Lin Fei Wade in terms of terms, the personal glory and team glory he has achieved in the past three seasons are obviously not comparable to Lin Fei and Wade.

Needless to say, Wade won the regular season MVP, compared to him and Lin Fei, both of whom have been All-Star starters + best teams for two consecutive seasons.

But Lin Fei is not only the starter for two consecutive years, but also the all-time ticket king for two consecutive years, and has won an All-Star MVP, which is obviously a big difference for Jade.

Let's talk about the best lineup, Lin Fei is a team for two consecutive years, while James is a second team and a team.

What's more, Lin Fei has been defending for two consecutive years, and James has not been in the best defensive team so far.

Not to mention that Lin Fei has been the second MVP of the regular season for two consecutive years......

Thinking about it, James's sense of distress became stronger.

Lin Fei will inevitably become a free agent in the offseason, and James is still one year short of his rookie contract with the Cavaliers.

If you jump out of the contract in the 07-08 season and join forces with Lin Fei in a new team, preferably the New York Knicks, then won't you take off on the spot at that time?

Thinking of this, James's heart was already starting to stir.

……

Air China named both the home arena of the Heat and the home arena of the Dallas Mavericks.

Therefore, the home stadium of the Heat and the Mavericks is actually called American Airlines Arena, but the translation of the Celestial Empire is deliberately different.

This round of the finals between the Mavericks and the Heat is also called the American Airlines Finals.

Whether it is the Finals G1 on the Heat side or the Finals G3 on the Dallas side, the ticket pre-sale situation is quite hot.

The average price and total price of Finals tickets at the two American Airlines arenas have also reached a new team high, while the average price on the Heat side is higher than that on the Mavericks' side.

Many fans who bought tickets in advance are also excited to show off their tickets on the Internet and social platforms, looking forward to witnessing the wonderful performances of the superstars on the spot.

The first game of the Grand Finals will begin on June 6 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Miami's local tourist traffic has also soared significantly before the start of the finals, and many fans have gone to the American Airlines arena to check in, which has become a mecca for Heat fans.

The night before the finals began, Lin Fei, who had completed training as usual, took a shower and lay comfortably on the extended bed in the bedroom.

Now Lin Fei's passing attribute has been improved to 96 points, and even if it can't reach 99 points during this finals, it should be infinitely close.

Probably in the offseason, Lin Fei will be able to officially increase his passing attribute to 99 points, and then unlock other basketball attributes.

Layups? Cic? Or rebounds?

At this time, the mobile phone placed next to the pillow also happened to light up at this time.

Lin Fei picked up his mobile phone and found that it was a short message, and when he checked the sender, it turned out to be Little Moldy Swift.

Lin Fei has been in contact with Xiao Mildew in the past two years, and Mildew's father Scott has also contacted Qin Dongmei to help Lin Fei deal with some stock matters.

Going to the Knicks in April, Little Mildew also had a meal with Lin Fei.

casually opened the text message, and a smile immediately appeared on Lin Fei's face:

"Lin, the gift I promised you is finally ready!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei received another message from MSN, which was also sent by Xiao Mildew, and when he opened it, it was a beautifully made single cover.

On this cover, Mildew is dressed in a strawberry dress and sitting in an old-fashioned country car with a guitar and a basketball in her arms.

At the bottom of the cover, a line in English reads:

"It took two years to create this song, and it was given to NBA Heat player Lin!"

Lin Fei chuckled, is the 16-year-old genius music girl finally going to make her debut?

It seems that her single is destined to make the two fall into a scandal......
