One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Seven. A Summer of Minor Repairs

Sun Ce chewed the steak like three girls. Scarlett Johansson and Zoe were fine, but Lily Collins also followed the two girls to fool around. Sun Ce felt that his woman was going to be led astray!

Obviously, the scene before dinner was planned by the three girls to tease him.

But it was really pleasing to the eyes. If Zoe was removed, Lily Collins and Scarlett Johansson would perform alone, and Sun Ce would be very happy.

And Sun Ce's reaction made the three girls very happy. Which girl would not like a boy to be excited when seeing him? Of course, it depends on whether she likes this boy or not. If she doesn't like him, she will feel happy.

After dinner, Scarlett Johansson went back to her home, and Sun Ce talked to the team about the progress of the signings as usual.

As a result, there was a bad news today. They had a clear signing target and talked well, but it was snatched away, and it was snatched away without reason.

Not long after, the Nets officially announced that Kirilenko joined for 9 million in 3 years!

After the lockout season, Kirilenko returned to the NBA. Before the start of last season, he was traded to the Timberwolves by the Jazz. He played for a bad team for a year. His statistics and personal performance were OK. He jumped out of the last year of his 10.72 million contract, which attracted many teams to compete for him.

The Grizzlies are mainly defensive and make good use of defensive players. Originally, the Grizzlies wanted to sign Kirilenko as a defensive connection point for the second lineup and use him as the sixth man.

The talks went well. Kirilenko rejected the 20 million for 3 years from the Warriors and the full middle class from the 76ers early on. He was interested in joining the Grizzlies, which also offered a full middle class.

However, the Nets snatched Kirilenko away for 9 million for 3 years!

Sun Ce then remembered that Kirilenko seemed to be investigated by the league later because of this incident. Some people said that Kirilenko received land or something privately given by the Nets owner in Russia, but it ended up in vain.

Soon after, the Nets announced that they had reached a verbal agreement with Carmelo Anthony for 88 million for 4 years, and would negotiate with Houston for a sign-and-trade.

Sun Ce was shocked when he was reading the news before going to bed!

Anthony's starting salary is 21.6 million, what will happen to Pierce and Garnett? What about the Nets' Big Five?

…

On July 31, 2013,

the Nets and Houston reached a sign-and-trade deal, and the Nets sent Chris Humphries, Marcus Thornton, Jerry Stackhouse's partially guaranteed contracts, Marshon Brooks, who averaged 12+3+3 in his rookie season, which was the shortened season, and the 2014 first-round draft pick, to get Carmelo Anthony.

This deal was officially reached, and the basketball world fell into madness again.

Although it did not have the exaggerated influence of Pierce and Garnett in exchange for Gerald Wallace alone, after all, Pierce's trade was something that basketball fans all over the world criticized Ainge for.

But the Nets team consists of Deron, Joe Johnson, Anthony, Kirilenko, Gerald Wallace, Lopez, Jason Terry, Reggie Evans, Andre Blatche, and Mason Plumlee, one of the few rookies praised for his immediate combat effectiveness this year...

This lineup has a salary of 115 million.

The names of the players are scary, and the salaries are scary too!

On the same day, WOJ broke the news that Howard will sign with another New York team, and the Knicks are trying to use amnesty + trade to clean up the twin towers of Stoudemire and Bynum. The 76ers are actively cooperating and preparing to get something from the sign-and-trade like Houston.

WOJ also broke the news that when the Warriors had no hope of getting Howard, they reached a verbal agreement with Iguodala for 4 years and 67.72 million...

With the continuous exposure of big deals, not many people noticed that the Grizzlies split the middle class and signed Shaun Livingston, who played for the Cavaliers last season, for two years and 6 million.

…

…

A new month has arrived. On August 1, Sun Ce continued his training.

Yesterday, the team had another good reinforcement, and Sun Ce was quite satisfied.

Not very satisfied, just quite satisfied, mainly stimulated by the three high-paying signings or sign-and-trade.

Other teams start with players worth 10 or 20 million, but the Grizzlies can only make minor repairs, Richard Jefferson, Gobert, Hardaway Jr.… Livingston, who has the highest salary, is 3 million, part of the middle class.

The remaining 2 million is expected to sign a backup power forward, or even not sign.

The salary cap for the new season is 67.72 million, and the luxury tax threshold is 80.32 million. If Hardaway Jr. and Gobert are signed, the Grizzlies' salary will be 77.59 million. Whether the 2 million is used or not, the salary is lower than the luxury tax threshold, and it depends on whether it is needed or not.

But Sun Ce knew that his team couldn't make a big deal. Among the players on his team, only he, Randolph, and Gasol had a salary of more than 5 million. Among the other players, the highest salary was Paul George at 4.07 million and Yi Jianlian at 4 million.

To trade with these players, you have to send out almost 5 players to get a top-paid player.

For example, if you want to sign and trade for Iguodala... Paul George is not worse than him. Even if Iguodala still has a contract, the Hawks will not refuse to trade Paul George alone.

But they have no space!

Most teams envy the Grizzlies for the cheap and easy-to-use role players, but Sun Ce is really itchy when he sees these big signings.

However, if the Nets use the best signing method, signing a three- or four-year mid-level player every year, and finally exchange the expiring or expiring mid-level player for a player like Humphries with a salary of more than 10 million a year, In the end, it was a trade. The Grizzlies really couldn't do it!

Thinking that the Knicks are selling Bynum everywhere and amnestying Stoudemire, Sun Ce really feels sorry for the two of them.

Both of them fell completely due to injuries last season. The twin towers that seemed gorgeous at first turned out to be the 30-year-old Stoudemire and the 26-year-old Bynum, both becoming a burden for reinforcements.

Stoudemire played 29 games last season, averaging 14 points and 5 rebounds per game; Bynum played 65 games last season, averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds per game. It still seems okay, but the Knicks lost during the All-Star Weekend. Send him to Germany for treatment, and he goes bungee jumping in the snowy mountains of Austria... If there is a chance to replace Bynum with Howard, the Knicks will naturally have to actively clear salary space.

The current total salary of the Knicks is 86 million. Sun Ce feels that they have good control. At least if they clear out these two contracts, they will have a maximum salary space.

However, when these three stars change teams, the only thing Sun Ce is afraid of is Iguodala joining the Warriors. But the salary seems to be too high, with a fixed annual average of 16.93 million for four years. This is the starting salary without the maximum salary without Bird Rights! Although it is not the full maximum salary and there is no incremental increase, it is still too high!
