Many people, whenever they see the Seattle SuperSonics have so many talented and young talents, they will find it difficult to suppress their jealousy. Now the top five teams in the league record, which one is not built by wages , with the exception of the Seattle SuperSonics and San Antonio Spurs, each team's salary expenditure is above the luxury tax line.

There are not no teams with so many talented young players, but there are no teams with such an outstanding record, and there are not no teams with a reasonable salary structure, but there is only one San Antonio Spurs that can get the first place in the league. , now the Seattle SuperSonics.

In the past, some players in the San Antonio Spurs played well every year, and then left because the Spurs could not give him the contract he wanted. Although many people think that if the Spurs spend a little more money to keep them It can be better, but the Spurs still insist on the great cause of cultivating players for other teams. I know how many fans have regretted it.

Therefore, the decline of the Spurs in these two seasons has been considered by many fans. This is retribution, and it was caused by you not keeping Stephen. See how good the Sonics are now. The playoffs can also be said to be setbacks. This season, the Spurs have been eliminated early. Last season, they still played in the Western Conference Finals. This season can only see the Sonics play in the Western Conference Finals.

As for the success of the Seattle SuperSonics, who is the biggest contributor? In the eyes of the fans, it is naturally Stephen. In the eyes of the team's owners and management, the biggest contributor can only be Presti. Nuo, his draft, his trading operations, and his management of the team fully embody the three words "stable, accurate, and ruthless". Stability refers to the operation and management of the team. The red line of taxation, even a team with deep pockets, cannot take money seriously, so for the general manager of a team, trading under the luxury tax is like dancing with shackles, it is not easy , but Presti's several transactions did not allow the team to break through the luxury tax, but also effectively enhanced the team's strength, and the teams exchanged were relatively young players, which was beneficial to the team's long-term develop. [

What is even more admirable is his draft vision. Last season, Kevin Durant was ranked second, but he won the best rookie. With Stephen's suppression, his personal data may even rise further, and Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibal, who were selected successively this season, are considered to have lived up to their draft picks.

You must know that these picks are not the highest picks. To be able to select such an excellent player in the middle picks is very particular about the general manager's draft vision, and some people think that Russell Westbrook is not particularly outstanding. 』, But his performance just now proved that Russell Westbrook is far from as simple as they said.

During the intermission, the commentary team introduced the contract time limit, salary scale and salary structure of the current supersonic team's main players.

Stephen still has a two-year contract, and Kevin Durant also has a two-year contract. If there is no unexpected situation, the Supersonics will use the maximum salary contract to keep these two players anyway. The next contract Stephen’s starting salary is more than 600 million yuan, while Kevin Durant’s maximum starting salary is more than 200 million U.S. dollars. The two people add up to basically 3000 million U.S. dollars, and if two people If the contract is renewed for six years, the last two people can add up to 5000 million US dollars, far exceeding the growth rate of the salary cap, but that will be a long time later, even the management does not need to consider it. long.

Because Yao Ming's current five-year contract is only two years old, and his current salary has reached 500 million yuan. If the contract renewal is still more than 1000 million yuan by then, it will be a big burden for the team. Because the salary of their Big Three will be more than 4000 million yuan.

Except for the two of them, Coupard, Jay Leonte, Jack, and Channing Frye will all sign contract extensions next season. Coupard's contract should be above the middle class, and if Russell Westbrook is considered , the Supersonics will definitely not spend a lot of money to keep Jarrett Jack, so he and Channing Frye may not necessarily stay in the Supersonics in the future, and except for the three of them, the other main players, the contract The years are relatively long.

Both Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibal still have three years to stay in this team, plus other people's contracts, at least in the next two seasons, the Sonics can maintain the current This main lineup does not need to worry too much. Of course, the salary may be a little bit overspend in the later period, but Jerome James’ contract will expire again. If there is a little more salary reduction deal, it is estimated that the salary can be reduced to the luxury tax Next, of course, it's hard to say whether the Sonics, who have changed their owners, need to do that.

Every boss will not say this publicly. Outsiders can only guess through their many performances. For example, many transactions of the Rockets can be seen at a glance. It is possible to exceed the luxury tax incentive line, and this is the case every year. It can be guessed that their red line should not be exceeded, regardless of what Alexander does when facing the media or fans.

What kind of team this Supersonic team will be now, because the time is still short, it is impossible to see, because even if they trade Yao Ming, it is unlikely that they will exceed the luxury tax incentive line, but from Chris Judging from Hansen's net worth, he should not be as frugal as the Spurs, Rockets, and Suns, but whether he will be generous to the level of Mark Cuban, Bass, or even James Dolan seems to be hopeful. how big.

Because Chris Hansen is a shrewd investor and has no love for basketball. He just bought this team out of his identity as a local, so even if this team will not bring him benefits, he He also doesn't want the team to lose money and use his own money to pay for it.

But no matter what, the current achievements of the supersonic team can be sure of Presti's ability. Talent will inevitably be favored by other teams, and several teams currently have such plans.

Since the Sonics are temporarily ahead, the atmosphere in the Sonics locker room is very relaxed, because the Lakers did not play very well today. Although they have been resisting, the strength of the resistance is nothing at all. After experiencing the bitter battle with the Denver Nuggets, the cruelty of today's game is nothing at all, and I feel relatively relaxed, and Carlesimo also feels that there is nothing to say, just said a few words, just Let the players have a good rest.

In today's game, even Stephen felt that it was a bit intense and insufficient, but why this happened, Stephen was also puzzled. Could it be that they fought too hard against the Dallas Mavericks, causing them to be physically and mentally exhausted? , So they played this game without passion. After thinking about it, Stephen felt that this explanation was quite reasonable, and the possibility was the greatest, and the other possibilities were really small.

Because even Kobe Bryant didn't play particularly hard in this game. The whole first half seemed to be playing soy sauce all the time. I don't know how he will perform in the second half. Since Bryant played against Bryant, Stephen has never seen Kobe Bryant with such a low performance.

Before the start of the second half, Carlesimo came over to ask Stephen how he felt. Due to Kobe Bryant’s unhappiness, Stephen also didn’t exert much effort, so he wouldn’t be physically tired, but Stephen considered Kobe Bryant in the second half. I don’t know when it will start to go crazy, and the team is playing more easily now, and I have been staying on the court, which is also a kind of suppression for other teammates, so Stephen said that he wants to sit on the court to rest and let others go first Let's play.

Carlesimo didn't say a word, didn't ask Stephen why, and went directly to arrange people. As for who to play, this is the right of the head coach Carlesimo. Stephen will naturally not interfere. Carlesimo is very Respect for Stephen, and Stephen naturally respects Carlesimo very much, and the two maintain a rare balance.

When the game started, Kobe Bryant was also sitting on the court. The two of them glanced at each other. Both of them belonged to privileged players. They should be able to sit on the court and rest without getting tired I chose by myself. I don't know what kind of situation Kobe Bryant made such a choice. You must know that they are currently the one behind, but it seems that he is not in a hurry.

Of course, Stephen will not be in a hurry, because after the start of the second half, under the joint performance of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, the score gap was not narrowed by the Lakers, but widened, especially La Sel Westbrook, he appeared at shooting guard against Shannon Brown.

With a strong physique, amazing jumping, and excellent upper body strength, Shannon Brown is no worse than Russell Westbrook in terms of physical fitness, and the two are similar in height, and he is also not inferior in terms of speed and agility. Suffering, but his defense did not have the effect of restricting Russell Westbrook, but was severely restricted by Russell Westbrook. [
