NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 1186 Wang Yi's sky-high contract

Think about Jordan testing the waters of free agency.

What a sensation that was, the whole league was really robbing Jordan.

And the wealthy Knicks even took a blank check to Jordan.

You can fill in the amount as you like, and I will never counter-offer.

This can be said to have raised Jordan's status to the extreme.

In the end, Jordan and the Bulls renewed their contract and got a sky-high contract of 3000 million US dollars.

Getting an annual salary of $90 million in the 3000s was definitely a super contract.

You know, in that era, the salary cap was also 2436 million US dollars.

Jordan's annual salary alone exceeds the salary cap, which shows how big this contract is.

Dispel rumors here.

Many people explain why Jordan's contract can exceed the salary cap and the league doesn't care about it. They say that the bosses of the league negotiated to give Jordan the green light and agreed that his salary should not be included in the team's salary, which allowed him to get the sky-high contract.

But in fact, it's not.

Jordan's salary is not included in the total salary because he owns the bird rights.

There were still many players with bird rights in that era, such as Orangutan Ewing, Reggie Miller and others.

At that time, there was no luxury tax.

For players with Bird rights, the salary does not count towards the salary cap.

So the boss can give these bird rights players a salary of 10 billion US dollars, as long as he can afford it.

……

Since Wang Yi didn't sign with the Kings immediately after the free market opened, other teams didn't have much to do.

They feel that they all have a chance to get Wang Yi.

And if you want to get Wang Yi, you need a lot of salary space. If Wang Yi is willing to sign a contract with them after the operation now, but they don't have salary space, then the fuck will be fucked.

Ever since, in the next half month, the other 29 teams continued to express their favor to Wang Yi.

Bucks general manager: "If Wang Yi is willing to come to Milwaukee and partner with Antetokounmpo, then they will be the scariest combination in history. Of course, we are willing to provide Wang Yi with the best conditions."

General Manager of the Clippers: "When Wang Yi was still in Los Angeles, I was his fan. Our whole team is very much looking forward to his return to Los Angeles. Of course, it is our team, not another team. .”

Cai Chongxin, the owner of the Nets: "Come on, we have the same color of skin, the same color of eyes, the same language, let us win glory for China together."

The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, even said in person: "If Wang Yi comes to New York, then we will set up a special Wang Yi Day for Wang Yi. Wang Yi will become an honorary citizen of New York."

And he also promised Wang Yi many benefits in life.

He even promised that he would not need to apply for a green card, and he could directly help him complete the process of becoming an American citizen.

Originally, Wang Yi still did not respond to this.

But on the Internet, there are many people with ulterior motives in China who are rhythmically saying that Wang Yi wants to become an American citizen.

Therefore, Wang Yi's public relations team reminded Wang Yi that he must issue an explanation as soon as possible.

So Wang Yi wrote directly:

"Thank you Mr. Eric for your kindness, but I am a Chinese, with yellow skin and black eyes. I have Chinese blood. I am proud of my motherland. I have no regrets in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the next life."

As soon as Wang Yi's post came out, it immediately aroused unanimous praise from Chinese netizens.

"Brother Yi's three views are too upright!"

"It's a good one to enter China with no regrets in this life, I am very brother Yi!"

"My God of Rain deserves to be the God of Rain, and I have no crush on the wrong person."

And those with ulterior motives were scolded by many Wang Yi's fans so that they dare not speak.

at the same time.

The general managers and players of each team came to Sacramento one after another.

The general manager of Lone Ranger and Dongzi are here;

The Celtics general manager and Tatum are here;
The Grizzlies general manager and Morant came.

They all met with Wang Yi one by one.

He talked about the conditions he could provide, and looked forward to the prospect of cooperation with Wang Yi.

Of course, almost all teams have promised to provide Wang Yi with the best conditions within the limits allowed by the rules.

It can be said that this summer, Wang Yi turned up a storm in the free market.

And when these teams expressed their favor to Wang Yi one after another.

The Kings have got James.

James signed a 1+1 contract with the Kings.

The contract is $1.5 million over two years.

Average $7500 million per year.

That is the maximum salary that James can get in the Kings.

Although he is old and his condition has declined, his popularity is there and can bring huge traffic and attention to the king.

His 1.4 million followers are no joke.

The second year of James' contract is a player option.

At that time, he can choose to execute or refuse to execute the second-year contract.

At this time, Wang Yi still did not immediately sign with the king.

He thought with a bit of evil in his heart: If he keeps not signing, then these teams will not dare to do anything.

That picture is interesting.

But that would be really unkind.

So Wang Yi did not really go to various teams to visit and inspect like Gua Ge used to do.

After James signed the contract, he also quickly reached a contract with the Kings.

He didn't sign for very long, though.

He also signed a 1+1 contract.

$1.6 million over two years.

On average, 8000 million can be obtained every year.

Year 2 remains a player option.

Of course, his choice made Kings fans uneasy.

Many people speculate that the reason why Wang Yi signed this 1+1 contract is probably to see what James will do next year. If James goes to another team or retires next year, then Wang Yi will probably have new moves.

Therefore, although Wang Yi signed a contract with the Kings today, other teams still have not lost hope.

They began to actively prepare for next summer.

If Wang Yi does not implement the second-year contract, he will become a free agent again, so other teams will have a chance.

Ever since, each team has been preparing for the competition for Wang Yi next summer from now on.

Of course, some teams that have no chance of getting Wang Yi at all have already begun to prepare their own plans at this time.

Start planning to form the Big Three or even multiple giants to fight against Wang Yi.

There is no way, that guy Wang Yi is too strong, without the Big Three or even more giants, he can't beat him at all.

However, the Big Three are not meant to be grouped together.

It takes a long time and even two years to form the Big Three.

……

After the Kings took care of James and Wang Yi.

According to James's first year of 1 million US dollars, Wang Yi's first year of 7000 million US dollars.

The two have already spent $1.5 million.

This year's luxury tax threshold is $2 million.

The Kings have to sign some role players, and now the prices of role players are almost all. $3 million.

The remaining $5 million in cap space is clearly not enough.
