: 265. Kobe's salary cut

Kobe and the Lakers cancelled their previous contract extension and signed a new contract!
Previously, Kobe received a two-year contract extension of 4.85 million, the first year of 2.35 million, and the second year of 250,000. According to the calculations of the Lakers’ management, according to the current labor agreement, Kobe’s two-year contract is the league’s first. High salary! Because James, who can get the highest salary, even if he renews his contract with the Heat, the starting salary is only 2.29 million.
What is the renewal contract? It means that the alliance can be officially submitted for renewal after the contract expires, but it is signed in advance.
After quietly thinking about it for a while, Kobe took the initiative to contact the management and actively seek a salary cut!
Kobe does not value money? Obviously not, it’s just that the most important thing for him at this stage is the championship. The most important thing is to give the team room to reinforce, so as to have a better chance of winning the championship. As for the loss of millions and the so-called first place each year The high-paying false title can only be ranked behind.
In the afternoon of the same day, Kobe and Kupchak held a press conference to announce the cancellation of the previous renewal agreement. The new renewal contract is 580,000 yuan in 3 years and the starting salary is 160,000 yuan!
After the news came out, the fans were boiling.
Who said that only Duncan and Nowitzki took the initiative to cut salaries? And they have Kobe down so much? Directly reduced from the league’s maximum salary to the contract of a regular star
Suddenly, Kobe's position in the fans' minds once again elevated. According to Kobe's current state, it is not a problem to maintain an All-Star level for three or four years to reach the age of 4o. This can be referred to Duncan and Nowitzki. He did not experience reimbursement for the next two seasons, his physical condition is much better than Liu Ren's previous memory.
By this time, everyone knows about the significant salary increase in 2o16. Kobe has now signed a three-year contract of 580,000 yuan. By the time of the 1617 season, the salary was 230,000 yuan, according to his attention and the number of fans. The revenue the Lakers created couldn't be cheaper!
However, the third-year contract is a player option, which gives the fans a lot of imagination, but Kobe has just finished this season with a salary of 30,000, and a sudden drop of 140,000, which still brings a huge impact to the fans.
Liu Ren saw this news when he checked his mobile phone news at home.
"Damn! This old man is really willing, even if he wants to renew his contract with the Lakers in 2o16, he will have to get a maximum salary! Even if he breaks out of the contract in 2016, he will still get almost 10 million less! I really didn't expect Kobe to do this! "Liu Ren sighed, his admiration for Kobe deepened.
"It seems that Kobe is determined to win the sixth crown, but this is a good thing for us. Aren, you have a better chance of getting p! The Lakers have a bigger salary space and signings, and the record will definitely not be. It will be worse than this season, and you might have more chances of performance next season. If you win the championship in these two years, then we will be able to get a maximum salary in 16 years!" Chen Hanni interpreted from another aspect.
Businessman, money fan! Liu Ren's move was broken by the little girl's words.
But moved to moved, we still have to plan for the future!
The Lakers’ current goals are all on signing point guards. Liu Ren’s choice of LaVine is very important to the management. As for other signings first, they are very concerned about Liu Ren’s suggestion, but the free market is still It was not turned on, so I had to put it aside first, so I did not contact Liu Ren for the time being.
"Nini, how much salary space does the Lakers have now?" Liu Ren is not too clear about the current situation of the Lakers. He only knows that many people are leaving the team. The specific salary space is unclear.
Chen Hanni took out her small notebook, and she recorded everything. There is a saying that a good memory is worse than a bad pen.
"The players on the Lakers contract next season are Gasol 780,000, Kobe 160,000, Whiteside 1.55 million, Nash 90 million, Green 1.27 million, Henry 120,000, Antetokounmpo 1.78 million, and your 60 million. Your contracts add up to 4.46 million. Ap will probably be renewed. Now it occupies 120,000. Baezmore also occupies 10,000. Thackeray occupies 820,000. In total, it has occupied 47.76 million space. Next season The salary cap is about 630,000, and there is about 150,000 room. Counting Jeremy Lin who may be traded, the team still has almost 70,000 room." Chen Hanni finished in one breath.
"I remember Jeremy Lin's salary next season is 150 million? How can there be 70 million left?" Liu Ren asked suspiciously.
"His salary is so much, but he only occupies a salary of 880,000 yuan." Chen Hanni gave Liu Ren a blank glance, as if to say that ignorance is terrible.
Got it! Liu Ren knows that the Lakers still have room to reinforce. As for the suggestion to recruit more people, Liu Ren can't remember clearly now. The changes in the league are quite different from what he remembers, and the team already has them. So many talented players, plus the potential of LaVine's talent, has exploded enough. In a few years, the management will have a headache about salary~EbookFREE.me~ But the Lakers are willing to spend money, and Liu Ren does not need it. Worry about this.
The players and fans on the Lakers side sighed Kobe’s desire for a championship and the greatness of
seeing money as dung
, but that passed, they were more concerned about what Kobe could get back after freeing up millions of spaces. , Which star can be introduced to strengthen the team.
Someone in Miami just showed a video of a press conference held by Kobe and the Lakers management to a player of his own, showing a knowing smile.
"Dwyane, I also want to give you a maximum salary, just like the Lakers gave Kobe, but the most important thing for us now is to keep LeBron and Chris. What do you think? Only by keeping them we can be more competitive Power!" Pat Riley said to Wade with a smile.
Wade was silent, why did he jump out of the contract? Isn't it for a longer and bigger contract?
However, the Heat management is obviously unwilling to give it. Wade has been discussing with the management about the early renewal since the end of the season. According to the contract he signed in the summer of 10 years, the contract can be renewed in advance or out of the contract after 4 years.
Wade wanted to directly renew his contract at the beginning. After all, the last two years of this six-year 110 million contract were the big ones. The first four years are equivalent to a cheap contract relative to his worth. If it can be like Kobe in the mid-season of o91o It would be great to get a three-year contract extension two years in advance. He doesn't expect to get a three-year contract extension of 840,000, just like Kobe, he just hopes to renew the contract on the basis of the existing contract.
But Pat Riley has been avoiding this problem, Wade can only step out of the contract to pressure, but Pat Riley bite to leave James and Bosh not so much room.
No, it just so happens that Kobe took the initiative to cut his salary, and dropped by 140 million. Wade is a face-saving person, and he is not embarrassed to say that he wants a maximum salary.
