Chapter 350: Shentong terms, debut in Cleveland

　　 The draft meeting ended.
　　 The Cavaliers took the lead in making a transaction, and Ricky Davis, who wanted to be the "Overlord", was ruthlessly abandoned.
The Cleveland Cavaliers quickly reached a deal with the Boston Celtics, using guard Ricky Davis, center Chris Mihm and French center Michael Stewart to trade forward Eric Williams and forward Tony from Boston. Barty and guard Cadrick Brown.
　　 For the Celtics, this is definitely a very good deal.
　　 Ricky Davis averaged 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks per game with the Cavaliers last season. He is the only star player on the Cavaliers.
　　Williams and Batty, who switched from Boston to Cavaliers, can only be regarded as role players.
　　 Williams averaged 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, and Batty averaged 7.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.
　　 The Cavaliers sent Davis like this, which is definitely half-selling and half-free.
　　 Why?
　　 One is to make room for Shentong to appease Shentong and prevent conflicts in the dressing room, and the other is that Davis's words are taboo and will make Shentong and James upset.
　　 The Celtics picked up a ready-made bargain.
　　Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, and Ricky Davis will form the three giants of the Green Army and launch an impact on the championship in the new season!
　　 Davis, who was traded to the Green Army, was both happy and angry.
I am happy that I have come to a great team. With Pierce and Walker, it is a guarantee to score in the playoffs. There is hope for hitting the Eastern Conference championship and even the championship. It is much happier than when I was a Belly Cavaliers. .
　　 Angrily is that he is obviously being looked down upon.
　　Shen Tong is just a child fed by Kidd, and James? He is just a high school student, and he is very worthy of supporting himself.
　　 For this reason, Davis, who was traded, also complained in front of the media.
　　 "My average of 20+5+5 data per game is only 5 million US dollars. Why does he apply for a maximum salary of 16 million US dollars?"
　　 "LeBron hasn't played a game in the NBA. I originally had the opportunity to coach him. Now the Cavaliers have only a bunch of young people who don't know anything. They will suffer in the new season."
　　 "I am obviously honored to be in Boston. It has an excellent tradition and rich heritage, which is much better than in Cleveland."
　　 Davis' words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of some fans of the original Cleveland Cavaliers.
"What’s Ricky? He thought Cleveland was his team? Even last season, the team’s boss was John Lucas or Keith Smart (both were Cavaliers’ head coaches, Cavaliers mid-season Coach changed)."
　　 "He is sour, and we are very happy that he is leaving, so the ball will move more smoothly."
　　 "He is just jealous of Shentong's annual salary and James' attention. Stay in Boston. I hope they can let you stay for another year or two."
　　......
　　 Ricky Davis’s trade enthusiasm has not yet dissipated, and the appeals of Shentong’s old clubs, the New Jersey Nets and the Golden State Warriors, have gone viral.
　　 The Nets publicly filed an application to the league, asking the league to protect the home team's priority to renew their players.
　　 Warriors also immediately echoed.
It turned out that during the offseason, in addition to the Nets' Shentong who chose to go to Cleveland because of the "early bird clause", Gilbert Arenas, who won the Warriors' Most Improved Player award last season, was also due to this clause. And choose to go to Washington Wizards.
　　 Of course, Shentong's departure was not entirely due to money, and Arenas was more realistic. The poor days when he first entered the league made Arenas unhesitatingly choose a Wizards team that gave him more favorable treatment.
　　 The league carefully considered the opinions of the two teams, because this summer, the thing about Shentong's contract renewal is so hot, they have to do something.
　　 So, the "Shentong Clause" was officially released.
Shentong clause: It is suitable for all restricted free agents who have spent 1-2 years in the NBA. The first year salary of the invitation contract shall not exceed the middle class clause of the year. Through this method, the first year salary is restricted to ensure that the players are the first The team can provide players with corresponding contracts by quoting the Bird clause or the middle class clause.
　　 Shentong didn't even think about it, because of his arrival, the original "Arenas Clause" became the "Shentong Clause".
　　Shentong of course also knows that this clause actually has a huge loophole, that is, the "poison contract" over two years.
　　 If a team is still 11 million dollars from the highest salary, it wants to provide a five-year contract, in which the third year salary will increase significantly, and the total salary it can provide is 55 million.
　　 If the average salary is 5 million, it will be 5.4 million in the second year (an increase of 8%), and 44.6 million will be allocated for the remaining three years.
　　 In the fourth year, the increase in the fifth year was 6.9%.
　　 The final contract becomes this:
　　 First year: USD 5 million
　　 Second year: US$5.4 million
　　 The third year: USD 13.907 million
　　 Fourth year: 14.867 million US dollars
　　 Fifth year: 15.826 million US dollars
　　......
　　 After trading Ricky Davis, the Cavaliers made a small trade.
With the arrival of LeBron James and Eric Williams, the Cavaliers’ small forward position is already overcrowded, so they traded forward Darius Miles for a guard Jeff from the Portland Trail Blazers. -McGinnis.
　　 In addition, they also signed a free agent, guard Kevin Ollie.
　　 Not only is there a movement in the player lineup, but the head coach for the new season is also officially determined.
　　 The Cleveland Cavaliers held a press conference to officially announce that Paul Silas will become the team's new head coach next season.
　　 Knight’s boss Goode, vice chairman and executive general manager Paxson all attended the press conference that day.
Paul Silas, 59 years old, has been with the Charlotte Hornets for the past 5 years. He has eight years of experience as an NBA head coach. During Silas’ coaching, the Hornets never missed the playoffs. .
At the press conference, Cavaliers’ boss Goode said:
Today is an important day for the Cavaliers, because Paul Silas will be our head coach. We believe that we have found a best for the team. The ideal head coach, our goal is not for 1-2 seasons, we have a long-term plan, and Paul Silas is our most suitable selection."
General Manager Paxson said: "Silas has achieved success in managing players and dealing with player relationships. The team he coaches is very tenacious every night~EbookFREE.me~ This is what we need, we The team is very young and has some potential players. I hope Silas can lead them to good results."
Silas himself said: "I am very honored to join the Cleveland Cavaliers and be able to coach very talented young people like Shentong and LeBron. I hope I can help the team succeed. I will treat these young people as myself. Children, help them make progress every night."
　　......
　　 Soon after Silas’ official announcement, the Cavaliers held a media meeting for the team’s new players for the new season.
　　 The most eye-catching things are Shen Tong holding the No. 25 jersey and James No. 23.
　　 Facing the dazzling flashing lights, the two of them smiled, but their eyes revealed strong confidence and ambition.
　　 The Cavaliers management laughed from ear to ear.
　　 This is not only a pair of expectant combinations, but more importantly, these are two players, they are completely two cash cows.
Needless to say, Shentong is already the endorsement of the brand, and the Chinese market behind it is even more unimaginable.
　　 James has signed a $90 million endorsement contract before he even entered the league. He is a gold sucker.
　　 And the Cleveland Cavaliers team tickets for this season have all sold out.
