One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-One. Became the Fat Meat in the Eyes of Others
Remember in one second【】
It's not that the team is unwilling to spend money, it's just that it can't spend that much money.
Before the contract renewal, Sun Ce calculated that Sun Ce was worth 21.5 million; Randolph's contract expired in 2015, and although he renewed it with a salary cut, his contract for next season would reach 17.12 million; Gasol's contract for next season would be 14.86 million. , 2015 player option.
The total salary of the three of them has reached 53.48 million. Since the income of this past season is expected to increase a lot compared to the shrinking season of 11-12 season, and the income is expected to be higher than that of the 10-11 season, there is a high probability that the salary cap will be higher next season. There are 66-68 million, and the three of them together account for more than three-quarters of the salary cap.
Give him a maximum salary after a long time.
Moreover, with another maximum salary, the total salary would be over 90 million or even over 100 million.
Therefore, Sun Ce did not insist on keeping anyone. When the team management asked in a roundabout way who he would like to partner with, he mentioned Klay Thompson.
People are all selfish, and he is the same. The teammate who can trigger the combined attack skill has a better relationship, so of course he chooses Klay Thompson.
The trade target, Paul George, who is about to enter the final year of his rookie contract, is the strongest and also the best trade option.
The status of a team's fourth and fifth star cannot satisfy this McGrady-like genius.
However, Sun Ce didn't see too many substantive reports on this aspect, which is strange. The draft is about to begin. If you want to get Paul George, you must focus on rebuilding the team. After all, Paul George is still there. We need to continue to cultivate and trade Paul George back as soon as possible. Even if there are not many talented players this year, we can still choose Paul George with immediate combat capabilities.
But none!
Sun Ce told Chris Wallace and coach Hollins his confusion.
Hearing Sun Ce's confusion, neither of them looked very good, and it seemed that many unpleasant things had happened.
Chris Wallace, who still has a better temper, said: "Those teams are only willing to trade Paul for a first-round pick."
"Are they crazy? The 23-year-old talented player with the third best performance in the finals wants to trade for a first-round pick?" Sun Ce couldn't believe his ears.
Coach Hollins said in a very unhappy tone: "We have analyzed it and they want to wait until next summer to make a direct offer. Then we will be unable to match the contract and snatch Paul away.
When the time comes, it will be like the Heat subsidizing the Cavaliers' first-round pick with us in a sign-and-trade. Our source has provided us with information that Houston wants to use this to retain Anthony to renew his contract, and also wants to use Anthony to attract Or Howard joins, and they have the ability to free up a third max cap space next year with two max players. "
So insidious!
From a team in Houston, Sun Ce learned the thoughts of other teams that wanted to get Paul George.
Paul George has just turned 23, he is still young, and if his rookie contract remains with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies will make good use of it. If they are rebuilding the team, it doesn't matter if they get Paul George a year later.
"Why is this happening? Didn't they actively want to get Paul during the All-Star Weekend?"
"Because we hadn't successfully defended our title at that time, and now we have won two consecutive championships." Coach Hollins said angrily.
"Although whether we defend the title or not has nothing to do with the rebuilding teams, they don't want to see us complete the lineup adjustment." Chris Wallace sighed as he said that the summer after the first championship was already difficult. Well, the summer after two consecutive championships will be even harder!
Hearing this, Sun Ce understood.
Some teams are prostituted for Paul George for free, some teams are jealous, jealous, and perhaps, some teams have good relationships with certain teams that are favorites to win the championship and deliberately don't want to give them a bargaining chip with the Grizzlies.
There is no doubt that if Paul George can be exchanged for suitable trading chips, it will be the most important part of the Grizzlies' recruitment this summer.
They have long run out of space, and it is difficult to make substantial reinforcements except for transactions with draft picks.
If there are no trading chips, the best situation is to reduce the salary below the luxury tax threshold and get the full mid-level exception.
Nash's contract has not yet been bought out, because even if it is bought out, it will also count against the salary cap. Nash has said that he is trying to trade his contract back to the Suns. When he retires his jersey, he can still be a Suns player. Retired.
But if there is no bargaining chip, the Suns cannot pay the Grizzlies more than 5 million in salary in vain.
But Sun Ce thought for a long time and found that the team was really clueless!
All NBA teams are in business and must maximize their profits. If they see an opportunity to take advantage of the Grizzlies, they will definitely not let it go.
This is business.
Sun Ce understood why the team was "standing still" during this period. It couldn't move at all!
He really couldn't think of a way, and all he could think of was bad water in Sun Ce's heart.
"Chris, how many people want to get Paul, but are only willing to offer a very low bargaining chip?"
"Many, except for those few championship teams, almost all want Paul."
This is not surprising to Sun Ce. If Paul George's talent is not that Klay Thompson is more suitable for him, and the team really can't keep anyone next summer, the Grizzlies will not be willing to send Paul George away.
"In this way, Chris, you find a way to expose the names of those teams that want Paul but are unwilling to provide chips..."
"this is a good idea."
Sun Ce hasn’t finished speaking yet
^0^ Remember in one second【】
, the door of the conference room was opened, and the owner Robert Pera walked in: "Since other teams are unwilling to give chips, it only takes one first round next summer to sign and then exchange for Paul. As a trade threat, if we want to use next summer's chips to trade Paul this year, then we will have to wait until next year.
Paul is a player with a very strong self-esteem. He will definitely be dissatisfied with the teams that want him but are unwilling to provide chips. Perhaps this will allow him to stay on the team with peace of mind in his final year. "
This boss was definitely hiding outside the conference room again to eavesdrop on "NBA team insider information." This didn't seem strange to the three people in the conference room, they were used to it.
However, the other three people in the conference room reacted differently to what Robert Pera said. .
Chris Wallace fell into deep thought, thinking about whether he would make a profit or a loss, or how much he lost, and whether he could make up for it. Coach Hollins felt that this was not a good idea. He was also a player, a top player, and he knew top talents too well. They are thinking about it, but there seems to be no better way for the time being. They will definitely not agree to exchange Paul George for the 2013 draft pick, even if Houston is willing to give the No. 1 pick to them.
Sun Ce was stunned by what he said, that's not what he meant! He wants to make those teams worry that Paul George will not be willing to raise the offer next season!
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
