MTL - NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal-v2 Chapter 933 Excessively healthy team salaries

The carnival after the game is just a small episode after winning the championship, and the championship parade two days later is the main event.

The Dynasty Year parade is bound to be even crazier than the past two years.

When he woke up the next day, Wang Zelin's head didn't hurt so much.

He looked beside him, and Kendou was still fast asleep.

Wang Zelin smiled, covered the quilt lightly, got up on tiptoe, and quietly left the bedroom.

When I came to the lobby, looking out the window, the sun was shining, the weather was looking at the backyard, and the lake surface was rippling due to the breeze, Wang Zelin felt extremely comfortable.

This might be the best day I've had in months.

No pressure, no games, just soft sunshine and calm mornings.

I went to the honor display column and looked at it. Compared with before the finals, there was another trophy here. I must have brought Wang Zelin's finals MVP trophy here last night and put it here.

Sitting on the sofa by the window, looking at the pile of trophies and honors in the area marked by Kendou for the 2015-16 season, it is enough to prove that he has achieved a lot this season!

But winning the championship last night also means that a new journey is about to start again.

Looking back on the past season, 75 wins, three consecutive championships, the Blazers Dynasty... Wang Zelin sat blankly for a long time before he came back to his senses.

…

…

When the finals came to an end, the NBA2015~16 season officially came to an end.

Although the season is over, the heated discussions among the fans will never stop.

Now the eyes of the fans are on another draft at the end of June, the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic men's basketball competition that will start in August, and various predictions and big fish competitions in the 2016~2017 free market.

On June 20th, the door to the NBA's free market also opened.

Before the draft at the end of this month, players with contracts cannot be traded, but teams can choose to lay off or sign free agents.

The new season of the Trail Blazers has also begun, busy with the draft, busy with trade evaluation, busy investigating free agents...

Fortunately, after the team achieved two consecutive championships last summer, they have already settled the contract renewal of the team's core players.

On the 20th, as the team's well-deserved future, Wang Zelin has long been qualified to participate in the team's future construction.

Of course, this also caused many outsiders to criticize him for blatantly possessing a "hegemonic" status in the Trail Blazers, which will affect the future development of the Trail Blazers.

After all, he is just a player and not a real management, but he ended up putting his hand into the management's construction.

In this regard, Orsi is too lazy to talk to the vulgar people outside, because he knows very well that potential rookies like Jokic and Harrell, as well as reinforcement plans like Beverly, Morrow, and Carter, Wang Zelin All of them played an indelible role.

It can even be said that the reason why the Trail Blazers were able to win three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty is due to Wang Zelin's contribution far above him. The entire Blazers management has long been accustomed to Wang Zelin's so-called "hegemony" in the team.

This afternoon, after briefly discussing the draft plan, Orsi handed over the team's contract list to Wang Zelin.

At the end of this season, the team's contract status:

Wang Zelin: The rookie contract has just ended. In the summer of 2015, he signed a 4-year maximum salary extension agreement with the team worth more than 100 million yuan, which expires in the summer of 2020;

Lillard: The rookie contract has just ended. In the summer of 2015, he reached a five-year maximum salary extension agreement worth more than 110 million yuan with the team, which expires in the summer of 2020;

Aldridge: In the summer of 2015, he signed a four-year maximum salary contract with a total amount of 80 million yuan, which expires in 2019;

Batum: In the summer of 2015, he signed a three-year contract with a total amount of 62 million yuan, which expires in 2018;

Barton: The rookie contract has just ended. In the summer of 2015, he signed a 4-year 41 million extension agreement with the team, which expires in 2020;

Beverly: Signed a 3-year 22 million contract in the summer of 2015, which expires in 2018;

Yi Jianlian: Signed a 3-year 11 million contract in the summer of 2015 and expired in 2018;

Connett Lee: Signed a 3-year 17 million contract in the summer of 2015 and expired in 2018;

Jokic: 2014 rookie contract, expires in 2018;

Morrow: Signed a three-year 10.5 million contract in the summer of 2015 and expired in the summer of 2018;

Vince Carter: Signed a 3-year 8 million contract in the summer of 2014 and expired in the summer of 2017;

Richard Jefferson: The one-year minimum salary contract signed last summer expires this summer.

Harrell: The 2015 rookie contract expires in 2019.

The Trail Blazers are still a team dominated by young people. There is no decline in strength, and there is no psychological inflation after three years of championships. Coupled with the harmonious atmosphere in the team, the core is getting stronger every year. The possibility of their next defense is actually very high.

"Jefferson has communicated with me. He hopes to sign a two-year minimum salary with the team, and has no plans to retire for the time being."

Orsi spoke.

Wang Zelin nodded. In the original timeline, Richard Jefferson should have won his first career championship with the Cavaliers this season. After that, he played for another two years and was traded to the Denver Nuggets before officially choosing to retire.

In my memory, Jefferson was still able to play 79 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 16-17 season, including 13 starts, averaging about 20 minutes per game, scoring 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1 assist.

Considering that he has a peaceful personality and can play the role of an experienced veteran in the locker room, Wang Zelin had a good impression of him, so he nodded in agreement without much thought.

After reading the list, the salary of the Trail Blazers is still relatively healthy. Even if Jefferson is given a veteran's basic salary, the salary of the Trail Blazers next season's contract is only about 110 million.

Although such salary space in the team has reached the team salary cap (94.143 million) announced by the league not long ago for the 2016-17 season, it is only a little short of the luxury tax (113.2 million).

Just a team with three consecutive championships, the super boss of the current League Aid Association, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com They don’t even have to pay the luxury tax. Such an overly healthy salary structure is about to make other teams vomit blood with envy. .

Of course, considering that the team will definitely have to make some reinforcements and support this summer, it should eventually exceed the luxury tax set by the league.

However, his own boss, Paul Allen, is well-known as a big local tycoon, and the team has been so successful in the past few seasons. In his opinion, a mere luxury tax is just a sprinkling of water.

For him, as long as the Trail Blazers' championship structure can be preserved, all problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

…

Another day passed.

On June 21, the Trail Blazers' championship parade officially kicked off in Portland.

Portland fans were dispatched all the way, and the crowds were empty. Such a grand scene was absolutely unprecedented in this land.
