: Five hundred and fifty one. The free market that was played badly

"Damir, won't you go to the Spurs with me?" Aldridge still wanted to take this little brother along.
"No, Rad, I wish you good results in the Spurs, but I still want to win the Blazers." Lillard is still an old-school player after all, suppressing the temptation to go to the Spurs to form the Big Six and win the championship quickly.
"..." In the Blazers to win... Aldridge also thought, but the Blazers really do not attract attention! Whether it is players, fans or the media, they ignore them every year, at most when they abuse the Rockets in the playoffs, say: Wow, Aldridge is the number one power forward... and then continue to ignore them the next year.
Aldridge is a little depressed. It has been a while since the Lakers revealed two contract extensions on June 30, and Liu Ren refused the Lakers' 5-year 127 million contract extension. The free market has been opened, but the Lakers The team never sent him an invitation, which made him very embarrassed.
He has already told Lillard that he will not renew his contract with the Trail Blazers and leave to go to the team that is being watched. The goal is of course the Lakers.
On July 7, the NBA officially announced that the salary cap for next season will be 71 million and the luxury tax threshold will be 74 million.
Aldridge has calculated that the Lakers can have up to more than 17 million space this summer. Although there is an extra Mike Scott, it does not matter if Aldridge intends to accept a lower contract for 2 years. As long as the Lakers give whatever chips they want to sign and trade with the Blazers, they can keep his bird rights, and it will not be too late to renew the contract next year.
But the Lakers have not contacted him.
But Kupchak didn't know Aldridge's idea! Both of them are reserved men. Kupchak thinks that Aldridge may feel that he is being humiliated by quoting Aldridge with a contract of 16 million yuan. Aldridge is thinking about reducing his salary but taking the initiative. It's not good. I have to wait for Kupchak to recruit him and propose to clear the space to sign him, and then he takes the initiative to cut his salary, which is so great.
Where did Kupchak guess that the young people nowadays have become so energetic and self-sacrificing, so they didn't even plan to recruit Aldridge.
At this time, Popovich of the Spurs threw an olive branch to him. Aldridge looked at the Spurs that have attracted much attention in recent years and felt that it was not bad. Leonard and the troika, plus him, compete for the championship. It is also possible that after waiting for the Lakers' invitation, Aldridge chose to join the Spurs!
On July 10th, the first big transfer this year finally came. The Spurs officially announced that Aldridge will join the Spurs with a two-year, 40 million second-year player option contract!
But Aldridge obviously still wants to see what will happen next season, such as whether the attention is satisfactory and whether the team record satisfies him, otherwise he will be 31 years old next year and he can pursue the last big contract.
Subsequently, the Spurs and restricted free agent Leonard reached a five-year contract extension of 85 million yuan. Duncan once again cut his salary and renewed the contract with the Spurs with a two-year contract of 10 million yuan. Tony Parker rejected the Heat’s three-year 5,000 Wan’s contract was renewed with the Spurs for 3 years and 44 million. Ginobili rejected the Warriors’ one-year contract of 10 million and reached a one-year contract of 2.8 million with the Spurs.
The most explosive is coming. David West, who gave up the Pacers' 12 million player option in the last year, and the Spurs reached a contract with a salary of 1 year-end!
The Spurs formed a super combination of Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Aldridge, Duncan, and David West!
Of the six core lineups, five of them have cut their salaries significantly, and almost everyone has dropped 10 million on average. As soon as the news came out, the entire basketball circle was not good.
The free market was completely activated this summer. Those who should renew their contracts will be renewed, and those who should transfer will be transferred.
"What the is this! Do you still have to live!"
The most embarrassing person at this time is Wade, who is presented with two choices of loyalty and money.
The Knicks have a full 20 million space this summer. The Knicks and Stoudemire have reached a middle-class extension, which is 16.2 million in three years. JR-Smith has reached a three-year 21 million extension. Shumpert Signed a 4-year 32 million contract extension, the Knicks' main lineup remained, and a talented large center was also selected.
Wade watched Porzingis' training at the invitation of Anthony. Wade wanted to scold his mother at the time. Is there a problem with the Heat management's head? With a No. 10 pick, he didn't choose such a talented center, and instead chose a small forward Winslow!
It's not that Winslow is not good enough. This was originally a draft year. Winslow is also good, but it is far from the 18-year-old rookie who has no pressure on Biao with little bully Stoudemire. Right!
Wade returned to Miami from the Knicks, has been thinking about Anthony's invitation to him.
The invitation contract given by the Zen Master is 54 million in three years, and the third year is a player option, and the price can be negotiated.
The contract is not big, mainly relying on the lineup to attract people, so Wade still has a little hesitation. If the Heat are willing to give him a good contract, he is still reluctant to leave.
But at this moment, the best defensive player on the Lakers side cut their salaries, and the five old Spurs collectively cut salaries so much. Wade immediately felt something bad happened.
Sure enough, Wade returned to Miami and received another two-year 30 million contract from Pat Riley.
"Dwyane, we want to pursue Monroe this year. If we can have more salary space, we..." Still the old tune, Pat Riley continues to brainwash Wade...
The contract given by Pat Riley made Wade suddenly feel that the contract given by the Knicks looks great! I don’t know if I compare it, I’m surprised!
Originally, Wade thought that the Knicks were using the lineup to attract him, but he didn't expect to use money to attract him!
They had a better lineup and gave more money. Wade was completely disappointed with the Heat management.
On July 14, oj broke the news that the Knicks and free agent Wade reached an agreement. Wade joined the Knicks with 31 million second-year players in two years, forming a new Big Three with Anthony and Stoudemire!
Although, the giant Stoudemire is a bit watery, but Stoudemire was the first All-Star in the East five years ago, and in the past two years Stoudemire has played really well after turning to the floor flow. The last strong role player, the Knicks continue to be the favorite of the Eastern Conference champions!
At this time, Pat Riley's offer to Wade was also exposed, and the Heat management was given another round...
On July 15, the Cavaliers can't sit still, and they have to do things.
Of course, since the Cavaliers' salary has long exceeded the salary cap, free agents can't get anything, but they can renew their contract!
First, James implemented the 22.6 million player option for next season, then Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers reached a five-year 82 million renewal contract, and Saferosa and the Cavaliers reached a three-year 45 million renewal contract. Channing Frye and the Cavaliers reached a three-year 22 million contract extension, Irving and the Cavaliers reached a five-year 90 million contract extension, Love and the Cavaliers reached a five-year 95 million contract extension...
Good guy, the Cavaliers threw out three hundred million! Succeeded in the free market speculation! These are the Cavaliers, and the salary next season will exceed 100 million!
Tristan Thompson actually got the 82 million contract! What a hell!
This premium contract successfully ignited the craze for super contracts! Let people feel what will happen after the 2016 salary cap is greatly increased.
Then some teams can't sit still, such as the Pelicans.
On July 17, the Pelicans and Anthony Davis reached a five-year, 140 million super fat contract! If Anthony Davis is selected into the best team again next season, he will be able to get a 5 year 140 million contract with a starting salary of 25.6 million in the 2016-2017 season, but if he does not enter the best team, he can only Won a five-year contract of 127 million yuan, which is the one given to Liu Ren by the Lakers in accordance with the biggest contract Liu Renneng won this summer.
These huge contracts were thrown out, the free market was completely chaotic, and money was not spent as money.
On July 20, the Eagles and Millsap reached a three-year contract extension of 60 million yuan, and Bazemoore also reached a five-year contract extension of 80 million yuan with the Hawks.
The 76ers ~EbookFREE.me~ The little assassin and the 76ers reached a four-year starting salary of 16.9 million yuan, a total of 74 million yuan.
On the Celtics side, Dragic and the Celtics reached a five-year 95 million contract extension.
Kanter of the Thunder in 5 years 70 million, the Bucks averaged 13 points in 5 years and 72 million in Middleton, Tobias Harris of the Magic with 64 million in 4 years, and Brandon Knight of the Suns 70 million in 4 years, Gasol Jr. of the Grizzlies 120 million in 5 years, Jimmy Butler of the Bulls 90 million in 5 years, Matthews transfer to the Mavericks for 72 million in 4 years...
Even Asik of the Pelicans got a 4-year 60 million contract extension!
The free market is completely crazy!
All teams are worried that next year the players will be even more open. They are using this year's premium contracts of more than a half a bit to renew their contracts with players whose data and performance look good.
By comparison, Harden, who renewed his contract with the Rockets in 2012, was 80 million in five years! Now it is equal to the contracts of Baezmore, Middleton, Asik and others!
