: One thousand eight hundred and seventeen. The curtain of the free market opened

"My contract may be too big to renew next year. I will renew my contract next year and my salary will be higher than yours. If the team can't reduce the salary below the luxury tax threshold next summer, it will be difficult for us in the 16-17 season. Need to pay a super luxury tax, which will be more difficult in the future."
"..."
At 10 o'clock in the morning on the 25th, Sun Ce came to the FedEx Arena to participate in the team meeting. Only Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Randolph, Paul George, Aldridge, Carter, 6 of them attended the meeting.
Originally Gobert, Tony Allen, Yi Jianlian should also participate. The first two contracts are still long. Yi Jianlian implemented the player option for next season, but Gobert went back to Europe to play in the European Championships. Yi Jianlian also did it after the championship parade. Going back to China with Yao Ming, preparing for the Asian Basketball Championships from the end of August to the beginning of September.
Tony Allen is going to heal the old injury, and he has to deal with it at the end of the season and can't be delayed.
The holding time of this Asian Championships was set 5 years ago from the end of September to the beginning of October. Under the coordination of Yao Ming, the NBA official and the FIBA, it was adjusted to the end of August to the beginning of September. In the future, the new basketball Asia The cup will also change the time, because in recent years there have been more and more outstanding basketball players with Asian nationalities. Clarkson of the Philippines is the representative. There is also a black player in Japan who has shown the talent to enter the NBA.
Mainly relying on the holding of this Asian Basketball Championship in Changsha, in order to complete the coordination so smoothly.
The happiest domestic fan this year was Yao Ming. When the Grizzlies watched the two finals at home, their faces were squeezed together with smiles. He grabbed a lot of shots with his expressions.
Thanks to Crawford, it is not Crawford who enforced the finals.
It is normal for Yao Ming to be happy. The stronger Sun Ce is, the better it is for him. The two World Championships in 2016 and 18 can only be directed at Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian has reached its peak, and progress cannot be too obvious. What can be improved is experience and the use of one's own strength. Sun Ce is the key to how far the national team can go in world-class competitions.
Yao Ming has won the world championship, and he is a bit frustrated. The goal is to build a championship team while Sun Ce is a player, and then win the world championship.
During the team meeting, Sun Ce mainly listened to understand the team's current thinking.
Sun Ce will not influence the team for trade or something. If the draft picks can be raised, it is naturally good. Two talented insiders like Aaron Gordon and Miles Turner are too suitable for Lan Dove or Yi Jianlian's partner are on the court.
Larry Sanders can’t keep it, and has obtained the team’s permission to contact other teams in advance, so he can only start from the draft. Of course, a deal is also possible. If Amir Johnson is regained, or a deal Of course, it's also excellent to be inside Ed Davis.
The immediate combat power that can be used directly, and is an experienced veteran, although in the future may be a loss, but the current promotion probability is more obvious than the rookie.
As for the future, Gobert grows up, plus their outside trio, Aldridge, is the future!
However, the two major Sun Ce's favorite insiders are the top ten favorites. Their Grizzlies are more difficult to trade, and the goal of trading picks is too clear. If it is a future pick, other teams are willing to trade, but immediately It's about the picks of the draft, the prediction list is so clear, the Grizzlies propose to trade which picks, other teams probably know the range of people the Grizzlies will pick.
This is a problem for the Grizzlies.
As for the desired free agents and the players of his team, Sun Ce gave two high-quality role players, Amir Johnson and Ed Davis, on the inside. On the outside, Aaron Brooks, Jeremy Lin, Andre Miller... …Sun Ce didn’t pick it. They needed a distinctive point guard to play off the bench, and they didn’t need to be a good offensive organization. They had characteristics, whether it was speed, power or singles.
In the team meeting, it was also mentioned that Aldridge will renew the contract with a starting salary of 19.2 million US dollars and a total of 85 million US dollars in 4 years. Klay Thompson will start with a starting salary of 15.62 million US dollars and a total of 86 million US dollars in 5 years. There are player options for renewal.
This is for the purpose of stabilizing the military and showing the core players the determination of the team to pay the extra high luxury tax for the second consecutive year to defend the title.
At the end of the team meeting, Sun Ce couldn't help but ask Aldridge why he could renew his contract next year and get a bigger contract, but he wanted to jump out of the contract to renew now. Aldridge gave this answer, Sun Ce I don't know what to say.
It is true that Aldridge has now jumped out of the contract extension, which is a great thing for the Grizzlies' operations in 2016.
If Aldridge implements the player option and renews his contract immediately after entering the free market next summer, his salary will increase by at least 20%, which means it will occupy at least 5 million dollars more space, thanks to their Grizzlies. The veteran of the team specified the terms to his grandson in advance.
And if Aldridge does not renew his contract as soon as he executes the player option next summer, he will maintain the bird rights in accordance with 150% of the previous year's contract, which will occupy more space.
Although Aldridge's current contract extension of 88 million for four years will increase Aldridge's original salary next season from 17.4 million to 19.2 million, but starting from the 16-17 season, every season is a salary reduction.
Klay Thompson is the market price, the highest salary under the two terms of non-overlord and non-team maximum salary is the same as Paul George's contract last season.
Klay Thompson is also considered a salary cut because he renewed his contract according to the salary cap for this season, instead of waiting for the salary cap for next season to be released next month, but the rate of increase is definitely not behind Aldridge. The three years have dropped a lot. Even if Aldridge jumped out of his contract after playing in the third year, he would drop more than 10 million dollars in two years.
In the team meeting, Sun Ce also learned about one thing. Pierce had already notified the team to skip the player option. This team meeting had also called him, but he said that something could not come.
This surprised Sun Ce. He thought it was Carter who wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Carter to stay and Pierce might leave.
But Pierce has promised Aldridge to train together in the summer... But this does not affect Pierce’s stay or stay, spent the most dreamy and craziest season in history, there will be more or less teammates, and Pierce is still that kind Very emotional person.
...
Due to the sufficient time, the Grizzlies are also fully prepared for the draft or the trade. Sun Ce is waiting, waiting for the team to decide whether to choose or trade up. This estimate can only be decided on the day of the draft. .
By this incident, Sun Ce had almost rested. Although he did not resume training immediately, he had to start preparing. In early July, he will go to commercial activities, which will end on July 13, and then go to Los Angeles to start a two-month training. You have to get in touch with your training partners, rent a stadium, trainers and nutritionists, etc.
And these things...Sun Ce just inform Bill Duffy, and he will fix it with Tim Hardaway and Stockton.
On June 27th, the day before the draft, something that had nothing to do with the draft but was highly anticipated happened!
The Nets and Larry Sanders reached a verbal agreement with an annual average of $15 million and a total of $60 million in four years, and announced an amnesty for Joe Johnson's $120,000 contract in the last year; and will try to trade. Deron Williams has a total of $39 million in the last two years of the contract. If it fails, he will try to buy out by agreement. The annual contract is divided into $5 million per year and extended payment for many years.
After all this operation is completed, the Nets will reduce their salary expenditure by at least $36 million next season... The amnesty money is certainly not included in salary expenditure, which is the team's new promotion space.
Originally, some of the Nets' contracts expired at the end of this season. At this point, the Nets' expected total salary will plummet to 50 million U.S. dollars and can sign Larry Sanders directly!
When Sun Ce saw the news, he felt bad for the first time and called Chris Wallace. Sure enough, the Nets didn’t want to show anything, so he wanted to sign Larry Sang directly. Des.
For the Nets, this kind of offer can be said to be quite unethical, and it may affect the potential future transactions of the two teams, but Chris Wallace said that such a situation is acceptable because the Nets will be 2018. There were no draft picks to choose from for the year, and the Celtics were all pitted. Now a second-round pick is extremely important for the Nets.
In addition, the Nets also revealed their intention to sell Anthony to the Grizzlies~EbookFREE.me~ and asked if they would trade Anthony with Aldridge or Randolph + Yi Jianlian, this Grizzlies The team directly refused.
Sun Ce had to admit that the Nets' operation was very good this time, and they lost a lot of money, but the new owner of the Nets is not short of money. This operation definitely gives the Nets a better operating space, at least not a mess.
Once Anthony is released, Lopez is left to build the team, and Larry Sanders is signed. With Ballmer's wealthy posture, he will give out a bunch of one-year contracts this summer... This is the most ideal operation Sun Ce can think of. .
But how did the Nets' operations suddenly become better? Sun Ce felt that what he speculated might not be the best operation, but at least it is not an operation that the Nets can think of in recent years.
Sun Ce turned on the computer to search for keywords and searched for the latest news of the Nets. Sure enough, the Nets owner Ballmer fired his predecessor without attracting much attention during the hot stage of the playoffs after the end of this season. General manager Billy King, signed a 39-year-old former Spurs retired player Sean Marx who could barely play as the new general manager of the Nets...
In addition to this, there is another news with no response. Ballmer has gone from the Warriors to the Lakers famous Jerry West as the chief consultant of the Nets!
