Chapter 711 Billion-Dollar Contracts Are Flying Everywhere! The Big Five!

"This year's salary cap is - $35.5 million!"

When the alliance announced this news, the world was boiling!

$35.5 million salary cap!

From US$26.9 million last year to this year, it has increased by nearly 30%!

too exaggerated! This increase is too exaggerated!

what does that mean?

This means that players’ salaries this year can also be increased by 30%!

The previous average maximum salary of 20 million has increased directly to 26 million! It’s close to Michael Jordan’s 30 million epic contract in the league.

Billion-dollar contracts are no longer just for franchise players!

You must know that the current NBA's billion-dollar contracts are only O'Neal's 7 years and 122 million U.S. dollars, Kemp's 7 years and 107 million U.S. dollars, Larry Johnson's 12 years and 110 million U.S. dollars, Mourning's 7 years and 105 million U.S. dollars, and Juwan Howard's 7 years and 105 million U.S. dollars. Dollar five!

Five hundred million yuan contract!

Of course, some players are in trouble after signing big multi-year contracts.

After all, it’s hard to say how much enthusiasm and motivation the black uncles can maintain once they have money.

Not everyone is always full of desire for victory like Kobe Jordan!

A large number of players' contracts expire this year, and their new contracts will be so exaggerated that the world will notice them!

Perhaps the annual salary of a high-quality role player will be tens of millions!

Top superstars will easily win contracts worth 100 million yuan.

All teams have ample salary space, with one-third more money available for signings!

A new era has completely arrived.

This news directly set off the prelude to the free agent market at the same time.

The 20-day Mamba Academy ended when Kobe brought everyone together and prepared to disband.

Xiaoyu rushed to Garnett with the newspaper! ! !

"Kevin!!! You're going to win a billion-dollar contract!!!"

In the Mamba Academy, the players were also stunned by the league's big deal!

When did the Minnesota Timberwolves become so awesome!

Damn, it seems that they really made a fortune from this year's broadcast contract.

At the same time, Garnett's agent called.

"What? Did they really give me a 100 million yuan contract?" Garnett's eyes widened and the basketball in his hand fell to the ground.

The basketball bounced on the ground, and no player picked it up.

All the players cast envious glances at Garnett.

billionaire

Although there are many players and superstars here, the only one who can be called a billionaire is Kobe Bryant.

But now, maybe it's different.

"How many?"

"130 million in 6 years?"

The sound of Kevin Garnett swallowing was clearly audible in the quiet stadium. However, at this time, even the most funny players did not want to laugh at Garnett.

They just wanted to hug Garnett's lap.

"Sign it? I think there can be more." The voice of Garnett's agent came, causing the players around Garnett to spread their hands and look at each other speechlessly.

"Sign! For this price! Promise me to the team! Once you can sign a contract, sign it immediately!" Garnett shouted!

"Understood."

"Kevin, six years is a bit short." Only Pian Pian raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly.

He has verbally committed to the Magic and signed the largest contract in history worth 175 million for 7 years!

160 million in 7 years!

The largest contract in history!

This contract has not been detonated yet, but once it is detonated, the world will look at it with suspicion.

But this means that it is almost impossible for the Magic to sign Webber again.

Because the team has two billion-dollar contracts for Hardaway and Howard.

"Six years is a lot, remember Pippen's example." Kobe said.

Pippen signed a 7-year, 20 million contract with the Bulls in his early years, starting from the second year. Although this contract was already very good at the time, Jordan's contract was also 7 years, 23 million.

But seven years later, Jordan has already earned a salary of 30 million, while Pippen's contract this season is only 2.78 million US dollars, which is even similar to the contracts of rookies.

Although this was Pippen's own choice after hard persuasion from Jordan and the team owner. But Pippen, who discovered something was wrong midway through the game, wanted to terminate the contract and sign a maximum salary.

This is not decided by Pippen. The United States still attaches great importance to the spirit of contract. Bulls owner rejected Pippen's request.

This made Pippen dissatisfied with the Bulls management! He announced early that he was leaving the team at the end of the season, without even giving the Bulls a chance to meet.

"Yeah." Garnett thought the same way.

Sign for six years first! I’ll get a bigger one in the future!

Pence looked at these two young men with a wry smile. They seemed not worried at all that they would say goodbye to basketball due to injuries or various reasons in the future.

And Pence touched his knee.

He even regarded this contract as the last contract of his career.

"Where will Michael go?" At this time, everyone was paying attention to the movements of the God of Basketball!

After Jordan won the championship in 1997, in order to keep Jordan and fear that Jordan would retire again, the league simply gave Jordan a personal privilege, that is, Jordan's salary would not be counted in the salary cap. The league salary cap for the 1997-98 season was 26.9 million.

As a result, the Chicago Bulls gave Jordan a sky-high contract, which was $30 million a year. What does $30 million mean? 30 million US dollars means that the combined salary of the entire Chicago Bulls is not enough for Jordan alone. Jordan's salary is even higher than the salary of 20 teams in the league. And after two consecutive championships, the Bulls once again gave Jordan 33.14 million.

And now?

Which team will Michael Jordan go to?

How big of a contract will you get?

Even Kobe was curious.

No one knows where Jordan will go next.

But one by one, the contracts of superstars began to be exposed.

"Penny Hardaway signed the largest contract in history with the Magic! A 7-year, 175 million contract! This will make the Hornets the only team in the league with two billionaires, and it also means that it is almost difficult for them to sign Down Weber.”

"The Minnesota Timberwolves signed a 6-year, 130 million contract with Wolf King Kevin Garnett! The young Wolf King will contribute the best of his entire career to this land!"

"Scottie Pippen signed with the Houston Rockets for $100 million in five years! The Big Five! Houston has completely gathered the Big Five! Next year, they will aim for the championship."

"Farke."

Almost everyone who saw the news was speechless.

Just look at Houston's lineup.

Pippen, Jim Jackson, Drexler, Barkley, Olajuwon.

Also on the bench are the super sixth man alien Cassell, the iron man AC Green, and the old cat Mobley that only Kobe knows! This lineup is so luxurious.

"Clyde, you're not old yet! Don't leave! Stay with us for another year!" After learning that Pippen had joined the team, Barkley and Olajuwon drove directly to Drexler's house.

Last year, the 35-year-old Glider still steadily contributed a star-level performance of 18+5+5 while serving as the team's third leader.

Barkley knows! If you want to win the championship, you cannot do without him!

Drexler smiled bitterly.

All right.

"Clyde Drexler, the glider, signed with the Houston Rockets for a minimum salary!"

"The Big Five! Appeared!"
