Chapter 594
Although Jeremy Lin knew that the arrival of the beast would make him lose his position as the leader of the team, he didn't care.If anyone can be the boss of his team, the first thing he thinks of is the beast.
Regardless of his relationship with Beast, Beast is also a very good team leader.He has no airs, is active in training, has strong team attributes, works hard on defense, and doesn't complain about his teammates.The most important thing is that this guy is too capable, so strong that he is crazy!
Jeremy Lin is very clear that building a team with him as the core has a limited upper limit.But if the team is built with beasts as the core, the upper limit is obviously much higher.A top three superstar in the league, both offensive and defensive, extremely durable, only 27 years old, really suitable as the cornerstone of the team.
And this 27-year-old core already holds 4 championship rings, has rich experience in winning championships, and has played in this league for 8 seasons.
"Boss Cai, thank you for your dinner and your invitation. I can't promise you right now, please let me think about it, and I will reply you as soon as possible." Beast said.
Boss Cai didn't feel disappointed at all, which made him value the beast even more. This shows that this young man is very mature, and he doesn't think about it. After all, this is a major decision. It's normal for him to think about it. It's human nature. !
Both parties were quite satisfied with this dinner, Boss Cai was satisfied because he was tempted by the beast.As a human, it is good to have something you like, whether you like power, beauty or money, I am afraid that you have no desires and no desires.
Beast is certainly not a character who wants nothing, he likes power, and of course he likes money.He doesn't want to control anyone, but he has experienced that he was traded on the night he was selected, was given up by the team in Dallas, and did not get a respectful contract extension from the team in Philadelphia.He wants to control his own future, let him dominate a team, that is of course a good thing.
Back home, Concubine Han asked Beast, "How's the talk going?"
Beast smiled slightly: "Let's talk when we're done!"
After the ups and downs, the beast lit a cigar and said softly, "Concubine, we are moving!"
Concubine Han supports her husband unconditionally. Although she is also reluctant to part with her current job, she has always been sensible and understanding, and knows what to do if she is.She shouldn't be a stumbling block in her husband's pursuit of greatness.
Cleveland is not such a prosperous city. In fact, there is a big gap between this city and San Francisco where she grew up.But she lived here for two years and felt very comfortable.The pace of life here is not so fast, and the traffic is not so congested, so it is very suitable for people with her personality to live here.
This villa by Lake Erie records her love with Shou Ye, and there are so many good memories here.She was somewhat reluctant to leave here now.
But people have to look forward, she is still so young, knowing this truth, she will fully support her husband's career.
Beast was also very grateful that Concubine Han didn't hinder him or influence his decision.There is a high probability that there will be a considerate woman behind a successful man, and he is glad that his wife is such a person.
The Beast didn't think long.On the second day, he personally contacted Boss Cai on the phone to finalize the matter of joining.
Boss Cai couldn't hide his excitement on the phone: "Beast, I hope we can have a happy cooperation! We will definitely be able to join hands to establish a basketball supremacy that belongs to our yellow race!"
Beast was also very happy: "Boss Cai, we will definitely succeed!"
On July 7, NBA reporter Shams reported: "The Brooklyn Nets have reached a 3-year maximum salary signing agreement with free agent Tom Shou!"
It's a four-year deal with a player option for the final year.
Because the Beast is a free agent signing, it can only be signed for a maximum of 4 years. The salary cap of the league next season is 9900 million U.S. dollars, and more than 1.19 million U.S. dollars will have to pay luxury taxes.
The Beast is a maximum salary. He has been in the NBA for 8 years, so according to the maximum salary rule, his starting salary for this maximum salary contract is 30% of the salary cap, which is 2970 million US dollars, a total of more than 1 million. Dollar.
This is the first time Beast has won a 5 million contract in his career. Of course, if he stays in the Cavaliers, he can get a 1.5-year maximum salary contract of more than [-] million.
No one thinks that Beast's contract is a premium contract. Judging from his performance last season and his age, the team is willing to give him a maximum salary contract.In the words of fans in the market: "According to me, the beast is worth 1 million U.S. dollars in annual salary, and he can only take this money. If it is not limited by the maximum salary rule, there are many teams willing to give him 5000 million U.S. dollars in annual salary!"
As soon as this news came out, it instantly detonated the previously flat free agent market.
Who would have thought that the Nets, which had the last record in the league last season, would actually get the biggest fish in this year's free market—the beast!
The Nets have really had a rough time these years. They finally overdrafted the future and got together Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez. The star lineup, but in the end they failed to pass the Miami Heat, missed the break out of the Eastern Conference, and eventually the team disintegrated.
The most terrible thing is that the first rounds sent by the general manager of the Nets at that time were all unprotected, so that their first rounds are currently in the hands of the Celtics. The more draft picks are in the hands of others.But it's useless even if they don't play badly, because the team is bad.
Fortunately, the most painful time for the Nets is over. Except that they don't have the pick for next season, they will regain their own first-round pick from next season.
Beast signed a contract with the Nets, and the Cavaliers sent blessings. Although Beast didn't stay on the team, he didn't go to the Cavaliers' rivals, such as the Warriors or the Celtics.
The Nets are rebuilding the team, the owner is Chinese, Jeremy Lin is there, the team is in New York, and it is located in a big city.This team lacks superstars. After the beasts go, they can become the absolute core and control absolute power.
Most people can still understand Beast's thoughts. He doesn't want to stay in the Cavaliers as the second child. He doesn't want to go to a strong team to hug his thigh. He went to a team with the worst record in the league last season. What else can you say? What is he?
In order to compete for the beast, the Nets stopped all signings during the offseason except for the draft.No way, if they have no salary space in order to grab free agents, then even if the beasts are willing to go, they can't do it without a trade.
The total salary of the Nets this season is 8390 million U.S. dollars, while the league's salary cap last season was 9414.3 million U.S. dollars.Which means they haven't even hit the salary cap...
