NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 396 Angry brother Chao, how to use 3000 million space?
It was Patty Mills!
He wants to terminate the contract.

There is only one way for a player to terminate the contract, either trade or buyout.

Obviously, he is not as disloyal as those people in later generations. He didn't directly tear his face and say that I don't want to play for you, please trade. He is not qualified. If he dares to say this, there will be no NBA team in the future Dare to ask for you.

And the reason for his coming is just one word: Itchy...

He would not dare to ask Jiang Chao and Max to put him on the shelves. It would be a career-level bet, but he would dare to ask if he could buy him out!

Australians, just highlight a brainless.

He just wants to make money after winning the championship. After all, the Knicks' championship has nothing to do with him stealing a few three-pointers? ? ?
In the Knicks, he is the third point guard, and his highlight performance is mainly Xiao Lingkuai's sudden steals, referred to as the sixth.

He averaged 5.7 minutes per game last season, which was not as good as the first season. At that time, he was used as the second point guard in the playoffs, which was higher than Matthews' playing pick, but it may be because of his The defense was poor, and Wade broke the final tie-break.

"What's the situation now?"

It has been an hour since this incident reached Jiang Chao’s ears, and Sean Marks put it succinctly:

'The Spurs came back to us. '

In fact, the Spurs took a fancy to Mills 2 years ago, but they didn't expect Jiang Chao to be so decisive to buy it in the second round, so this year they want to get this high-quality shooter to match the lineup of GDP and forward Leonard.

Because although Mills didn't play much time, he was not stable. He made 67.8% of his open three-pointers and 47.5% of his career three-pointers. This is the performance of a completely high-quality shooter.

However, after Sean Marks knew the news, he directly asked the opponent to exchange for a first round, even if it was protected. (Protected means that the contract can stipulate that if the first round of the top 20 picks is the Spurs' own, 20-30 will go to the Knicks, so as to avoid a team that loses too much. After all, draft picks have become more and more popular in recent years. The foundation of the team is established.)
The Spurs are well known that although they are popular, they are all stingy masters from the owner who sells tractors to the coaches to the management.

Let them replace a Knicks third-team guard with someone on the current team? ? ?
impossible!
Not to mention exchanging the draft picks that they regard as their lives, it is more precious than their lives. The Spurs' draft picks have never been traded, and they are all held by the management. Enjoy the joy of Taobao every year.

"White wolf with empty gloves?? What the hell?"

Jiang Chao expressed his forgiveness for not understanding. What is the situation? Why has he never heard of it?
But in fact, he knew very well that it was Mills who was "instigated".

Because Sean Marks said that the Spurs will give Mills a 2-year 1000 million contract, that is, if he jumps out of the remaining 2 years of the contract, he can get 1000 million! !

And what is Mills' annual salary in the Knicks? ?

50?
Tenfold!
Man Mills is not like Matthews who was defeated by Jiang Chao, and his family is not particularly rich, and the development of Chaoshen Group has nothing to do with him. The development of Chaoshen Sports in the Australian market is quite average.

So he was moved by the Spurs' secret digging.

However, Mishen is also very grateful to the Knicks for his training in the past two years, so he also said that if he can buy out, he will pay the Knicks 100 million buyout fees. The Knicks took the money and let him go.

Sean Marks and Stevens gave the reasons, one is that he is not in a high position in the team, the other is that this year's second-round pick is also a guard, and the most annoying thing is that Thomas Jr. has been single-handedly or full-court in recent training They all beat him up.

This made Mills feel that the new season is over for him, and the pick may be behind Thomas Jr., so it's better to buy out and go out to get a big contract!
Because now the big contract is in front of him!
"Okay, let him go get the big contract."

Jiang Chao didn't hesitate much. He bought him for 150 million because he was outstanding among the remaining players. Now that he is in the Knicks and in the Spurs, let's be a favor.

Even if he still lost...only 100 million, the Blazers who bought Mills at the time spent 150 million in the second round.

But how to put it, Mills was signed by the Spurs for seven or eight years in his previous life, so it's okay to return to the arms of the Spurs, at least the Knicks have another general.

He couldn't help complaining that Australians are really rebellious by nature. Look at Matthews and Beverly, what happened to 50 a year?Matthews has been working hard for 15 a year, and because of this, he got the opportunity to renew his contract in advance.

"Thank you boss for me." Mills, who was in the general manager's office next door, also knew that he was ashamed to see Jiang Chao. After signing the buyout contract, he left with all the memories of New York.

Knicks player chat group:

"This is where my dream started, I will always remember you!"

[Patty Mills quit the group chat! 】

When everyone was wondering, the news also came out. Patty Mills first had a peaceful buyout with the Knicks, and then was signed by the Spurs for 2 million in two years, turning him into a Spurs player.

Of course, it is impossible for the Knicks official website to write that it was because he was instigated. Instead, it said that for the benefit of both parties, the Knicks had too many people in the lineup and the roster was full, so they sent Mills out to get a big contract.

The fans in the Chaoshen forum were blown up, although Mills is just a small person.

But the act of buying out this purely self-destruction of the winning lineup still makes fans question what kind of show operation it is?

: "What kind of plane is this??? How did I, Mi Lao Liu, get away?"

"Wow, the Knicks' championship lineup has been dismantled by 3 people, I am Cao!!!"

"It's a bit disgusting, what the hell, Boss Jiang, can you give me some strength!"

"I declare that this offseason is Boss Jiang's Waterloo!"

"Mills is still very decisive in three-pointers. I like this player very much. He is also tough in defense, but his height is a flaw."

"The Spurs are awesome!"

"The Spurs have definitely picked up a treasure. You can suspect Boss Jiang's poor trading and operation skills, but you can't doubt his draft vision!"

"Yes, the person selected by Boss Jiang must be a boutique!!!"

"To be honest, Boss Jiang is a little weak this time. If you want me to keep it, I won't let you get a big contract. What are you pretending for!"

"Brother, you don't understand now, the Chinese don't make enemies easily, and they stay on the line."

"That's right. Boss Jiang doesn't look so crazy, but he's actually very tactful. I didn't expect him to make a move in this incident between Kobe and Paul."

"Yeah, he won't be really cowardly."

"Damn it, I don't think it's possible to win this finals with the addition of Paul. The Knicks' sense of space is much better than the Lakers."

"Now that Okur, Mills, and Turk Drew are missing three three-pointers, Boss Jiang is really willing!"

"If you give up, you will gain! Boss Jiang will not end like this!"

"The Spurs are awesome!"

"The Spurs are going crazy. The trade away of George Hill was originally for Mills. Mills makes three-pointers faster and more accurately!"

"Yes, it means that we are going to win the championship in the past few years?? Point guard Parker, shooting guard Mills and Manu, small forward has this new Leonard, inside has Duncan and Splitter, yes!!"

"It's awesome, Spurs, I feel that the lineup is starting to have a championship vibe!"

"The Knicks are eating??? Isn't the big list just right?"

"Yeah, it seems that there is one less person now?? Is it possible to sign a contract??"

"Slime, scum, don't play around after winning the championship! It's not good to build a championship lineup by yourself. I suggest not to recruit players."

……

"RC Buford you old bastard, you want to play an arms race, don't you?"

It's a lie that Jiang Chao didn't get angry. After the transaction was completed, he called RC Buford directly, and his tone was half-truth and half-fake.

Sean Marks can't tell the pain, RC Buford is his teacher, and Messina is trembling even more, Popovich is also his mentor...

The backlash of the Spurs! !
RC Buford: "Damn, the people you let go, blame me?"

"Let's see you in the finals." Jiang Chao said angrily.

"I hope so, but I really appreciate you letting us trade Leonard."

"Go away, make good use of Mills, since you are playing this trick, don't blame me for being rude!!"

Jiang Chao's backlash is still a bit irritating. Although it seems plain and unhurried, his subordinates are definitely upset when they are persuaded.

So he directly called Sean Marks who was sitting on the sofa in his office:

"You calculate the current salary of our team this year, and then show me the free market list, I will go to the free market to recruit someone!!!"

Jiang Chao wanted to find someone's name.

If I remember correctly.

Boris Diaw became a free agent this year and was signed by the Spurs, right? ? ?

Grab me Australian fire ants, right?

Don't even think about French magicians! ! !

Come the sword! ! !

"Ok, no problem!!"

Although Mills' departure is not a big deal, the Knicks have been going uphill in the past two years, and this sudden departure made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone in the chat group fell silent after Mills sent the last sentence, but one can imagine the feeling of Ibaka and others smashing things at home.

If you are brothers, you will fight together until the end of the rookie contract. What do you mean by going directly to get a big contract?
And the Knicks team, let people go so easily?
But calm down and think about it, what can I do if I don't let him go?Sign yourself?Mills has not yet reached this position, but if he is forced to continue playing on the team next season?The atmosphere is no longer right.

Just like pure milk, even if you open a small mouthful, it will become more and more sour over time, and eventually it will go bad...

Once the estrangement occurs, it can never go back.

Jiang Chao held the printed salary report in his hand, in which Okur, Mills and others had been removed.

Jimmy Butler: The annual salary is 350 million this year, 5 million in 1800 years.

Thomas Jr.: 150 million annual salary, 5 million in 650 years. (two-way)

Matthews: 17.3. (two-way)

Danny Green: 50

Beverly: 50

Ibaka: 130 million (including a 2-year rookie contract next season)

Curry 300 million

Harden 300 million

George: 280 million

Hayward: 280 million

Kyle Anderson: 160 million

Yi Jianlian, 1000 million.

David Lee, 800 million.

Yao Ming (oral agreement): Veteran base salary 167 million

Howard: 2120 million (5-year maximum salary contract)
Temporary total salary: 6154.3 million.

It is directly lower than last season by more than 2000 million!

"Haha, the rookie bonus period is comfortable."

Because of the departure of Okur and the agents, plus Dayao's basic salary, the Knicks' space is extremely healthy!

In fact, this year's salary is less than 3000 million yuan from the salary cap. This is completely enough to sign a super-maximum salary.

Because if you insist on maintaining a complete championship lineup, it can be done.

But fans are fans because they only watch this one season.

Jiang Chao and Max are very clear that the rookie bonus period is coming soon. This year is Yi Jianlian, next year it will be Ibaka, and the year after will face the problem of early contract renewal for 09 rookies such as Kuha. Now there is room for them to work together in the future. For staying in the team.

Otherwise, the team will be directly dismantled. After all, there are 5 09 rookies in the team, and the 13 season is the most difficult for the Knicks.

With the current trend, all the players selected by the Knicks in 09 are stars, so contract renewal is definitely a problem. The current space is to be saved by then.

Unless there is a big boss who is willing to sign once a year now.

It’s not impossible to sign superstars, but it’s still the same sentence. No superstar will accept the one-year contract that the Knicks can only give. Seed, what we want is protection.

Otherwise, in case of a broken bone in the next season, no one will want it!
One sign per year, the only ones in the NBA who dare to sign like Nowitzki and Duncan...or Durant, even if Durant is injured, everyone knows his ability. A lot of money, or to squeeze out space to win the championship.

Therefore, although Jiang Chao's space is healthy, even very healthy, there are no superstars to vote for, because Max has one prerequisite: accept the signing for one year before negotiating.

This one dissuades most super giants.

However, Max still sorted out all the big names in the free market. After all, the Knicks have not made a move yet, and they are all people who come to consult. What if the Knicks take the initiative to consult future stars who want to compete for the championship together or are also moved.

Tim Duncan, Spurs (ETO), this is nothing to say, the contract extension is just waiting for the Spurs' final action.

Note: Player Option (PO), Early Termination Option (ETO), Team Option (TO)

Nene Hilario, Nuggets (ETO) This is one of the players Max pushed to replace Okur, albeit with a lot less range.

And when he's healthy, Nene is one of the most outstanding big men in the league -- he not only has a huge frame, but also has outstanding speed.He can dominate the paint whenever he wants.

It's hard to say there's room for improvement for a 8-year-old who's been in the league for eight years, but Nene can.

If Nene chooses to opt out of the contract, he will give up a salary of about 1160 million US dollars, but Marks can predict that even if the new labor contract is likely to significantly reduce the maximum salary of the big fish, there will still be teams willing to pay him the same amount next summer Even more wages.

David West, Hornets (ETO)

It is reported that West is negotiating a contract extension with the Hornets, but under the current rules, due to the limited salary space of the Hornets, this makes the renewal contract amount they can offer far less than what West may get in the free market. Contracts.

In this way, the Hornets forward, who was born in August this year, is likely to take risks in the free market while he is still young. This is also one of the veterans that Stevens wants, but Marks thinks he Short, can such a player David Lee be replaced? ?
Jiang Chao is on Max’s side. This is true. The future warriors are David Lee and West. The 4th position likes such players, but two such players are too many for a team. up.

Ray Allen, Celtics (PO) will be 36 years old next year, and Allen is still the most efficient and stable shooter in the league.

He's coming off another fantastic season, averaging 17 points and shooting a career-high 46.7 percent from three, but don't expect him to opt out of his contract and leave the Celtics.

Because his final year contract is also 1000 million US dollars and he hopes to stay in the Celtics to compete for the championship.

A 36-year-old veteran still has 1000 million US dollars, which is basically stable. Going to other teams may not have a high salary, and he may not be able to win the championship.

There is another player who made Max scratch his head. If this player comes to the Knicks, Raptors general manager Ujiri will be pissed off?

Leandro Barbosa, Raptors (PO)

Now is a good time for him to exercise his player option.Barbosa had a decent season, but his expiring $760 million contract should be a lot bigger than what he can get in free agency.

But in fact, the Knicks can pull him over, but there are too many Knicks players in his position, so he doesn't need it.If you change to a different boss and make a deal out of anger, it's not impossible to get your Raptors up, just raise the price.

The same goes for the Trail Blazers veteran point guard Miller, the last glory of a traditional guard, but with an annual salary of 900 million, he probably won't jump.

CJ Myers, Jazz (TO)

Miles is only 24 years old, but it feels like he has played in the NBA all his life.

In his sixth year in the Jazz, he began to break out of his cocoon.Although he will not become a superstar, considering his age and defensive ability, someone must be willing to pay a higher price than the Jazz to get him.

There is no need for Jiang Chao and the others to raise the price, because the Jazz will renew the contract no matter what. They finally have such a person to train, and they are willing to give Okur 2000 million. Renewing the guard is certain .

Behind are Pietrus, Dragic... and even O'Neal who was fired by the Kaizi and had no ball to play.

O'Neal has actually created miracles this year. When he was eliminated by the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs, he appeared in the commentary booth to explain the Knicks' games in the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals. It is quite interesting, and the fans also hope O'Neal don't change teams anymore, forget about retiring, let's see how the Knicks won the championship, you big fat guy should go home and eat grilled wings.

In the end, Jiang Chao's eyes stayed on Boris Dior's name in the document.

Boris Diaw, Bobcats (PO)

"Player option, yes!" Jiang Chao knew it was safe when he saw the two letters PO. Dior's current contract is the second contract in his career: 5 million for 4500 years, 07-12.

It was a contract given by the Suns, and now it is the final 4+1 player option after being traded to the Bobcats.

So if he continues to play in the Bobcats next year, he will have an annual salary of 900 million.

"Check to see if there is a team poaching a player like Chardio."

"No need to check, I know, the French magician, they admired them very much when they were in the Spurs before. At that time, the Suns and Spurs didn't know each other. This year, the Spurs are also making an offer."

"Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough."

历史没有变，如果姜超没记错的话吊哥是2年920万，12-14赛季和马刺队新签了这份合同，为什么从900万变成400多万一年也可以接受？

Because he is also getting old and getting fatter, he has made money for 8 years, and he wants to use 2 years to win the championship with the Spurs.

In addition, the Spurs' salary is exploding now, so they can only pay so much money. The two sides hit it off so sweetly.

And now.

Sorry, since you robbed me, I still have 2 people on my roster, and the salary cap is still 3000 million, so I have to make a move! ! !

Just like what Jiang Chao brainless iron fans always say:
"It's okay, Boss Jiang will make a move!!"
