Chapter 570 Nine Turbulent Summer

"Chris, do you mean that Rashid is going to retire?" Yang Shuai shouted in surprise when he heard Mullin's words.

"Yes, Yang, I have to say, this is bad news...Of course, we also have good news. After buying out Ronnie and retiring Rashid, the team finally has enough salary space. I think you'd love to stay with the Warriors again, right?"

After listening to Chris Mullin, Yang Shuai made a verbal commitment and then hung up the phone.

Yang Shuai is very clear that both Ronnie Turiaf and Rasheed Wallace left because of himself, because only in this way can the Warriors offer a contract that matches his strength. Guilty.

After entering the NBA, Yang Shuai knew that this is a commercial league, and everything here is a naked transaction, between teams and between teams and players.In business talk business, Yang Shuai himself has become a special commodity after entering this alliance, and no commodity wants its value to be low.

In the nba, there are indeed many veterans who choose to lower their value and stay on the team for the integrity of the lineup, but most of them are veterans.Yang Shuai has only been in the league for three years. He is a star, and he is a star of the new generation.He can't lower his own value when he has just played his own value.

Yang Shuai may not care about the number of money in the contract, but he cannot ignore the meaning of this number. It is an affirmation of his strength and value. He cares about this, and he cares very much!

This is a business alliance, and it is also a battlefield where the weak prey on the strong. This is the case between teams. The stronger team continues to advance and the weaker team retreats.The same is true for players and players, more suitable players stay, while some players have to leave.

Turiaf left because of his own strength, while Rasheed Wallace left because of his age and state. Judging from the current situation, although Jamison is still in the playoffs. There are ups and downs, but he is two years younger than Wallace after all, and he is in better condition than Wallace.

Wallace's departure like this is actually very good, at least, very decent.Retiring with a championship ring is something that many people want to do, but many people can't do it, and Wallace was lucky, he was able to wear two before retiring.

Originally, Yang Shuai was planning to return to China for a period of time, but because it was approaching July 7th, the Warriors hoped that Yang Shuai could return to Oakland as soon as possible to complete the contract renewal as soon as possible, so after sending his parents back to China, Yang Shuai took Gladys Fly to Auckland.Chu Xiyun and Tang Ying did not accompany each other because they had to go home.

In order to cooperate with the official signing of zi you players and the signings of various teams, the unresolved 2010-11 nba "salary cap" and "luxury tax threshold" situation finally came to light on July 7th. The NBA officially announced that the salary cap for the new season is officially set at US$8 million, and the luxury tax threshold is set at US$5804 million. These two figures are both higher than last season and much more optimistic than previous expectations.

At the same time, the nba officially announced the "middle class clause" for the new season, and the middle class clause is set at 576.5 million US dollars.

The release of these numbers also means that the free market is truly open, and a battle for free players begins. On July 7th, a series of actions appeared.

Eagles re-sign Joe Johnson, Celtics re-sign Paul Pierce, Celtics re-sign Ray Allen, Bulls re-sign Carlos Boozer, Grizzlies re-sign Rudy Gay, many The big names have settled down one after another, and among them, most of them are contract extensions. The Bulls' signing of Boozer is an exception.

Most of these renewed stars are people's expectations. If there is any surprise, it is only the size of the contract. For example, Joe Johnson's six-year $6 million renewal with the Eagles is beyond many people's expectations.

Since it is a matter of course to renew the contract, it is naturally impossible to miss Yang Shuai.After the Warriors cleared the salary space, the rest of the teams basically gave up on signing Yang Shuai. Yang Shuai has only been in the league for three years. It is impossible for other teams to offer him too high a contract, and the Warriors have enough salary space. Come to renew Yang Shuai.

Sure enough, on July 7th, there was news that the Warriors had officially renewed their contract with Yang Shuai. The two parties signed a six-year contract with a total value of 8 million.

杨帅的第一年薪资将是nba新出工资帽的25%也就是1450万美元，而接下来的每一年将以10.5%递增，如果杨帅能够在拥有球员选项的第六年依然选择留在勇士队，那他在2015-2016赛季的工资将达到2380万美元。

Seeing that the Warriors finally succeeded in renewing Yang Shuai's contract, Warriors fans were naturally greatly relieved, and many fans have already shouted the slogan of defending the title.

The goal of the Warriors is naturally to defend the title, but what they have to do before that is to complete the lineup, because they can't sign other players before to keep Yang Shuai. Down.

The Warriors are acting, and the rest of the players are also acting. The Warriors are targeting the people in their own team, while the rest of the teams are targeting the fish that are still in the free market.

The first news came out was Amare Stoudemire, the league's top power forward who originally belonged to the Suns. The news came out before that he would join the Knicks. Not long after the Warriors renewed Yang Shuai's contract, there was news Came, Stoudemire officially joined the Knicks.

So, soon there was news that James would join the Knicks smart Stoudemire, the purpose is to fight against Yang Shuai's Warriors.

However, at this time, another news came out that made James' whereabouts blurred.Wade stayed with the Heat, and at the same time, the Heat also signed another representative of the 03 generation, Chris Bosh.

The Heat have cleared enough salary space, and they can introduce another big star, and according to the most reliable news, their goal is James.

When all the teams in the league are making moves one after another, the possibility of James staying in the Cavaliers has become less and less. James has long been dissatisfied with the Cavaliers' top management.When competing with the Warriors for Jamison last season, because Jamison finally joined the Warriors, James once scolded his general manager for being incompetent, and at the end of the season, Yang Shuai won the O'Brien Cup, which stimulated his nerves even more.

James wants to defeat Yang Shuai, who he thought should be under him, but he has already seen that, with the strength of the Cavaliers, let alone wanting to beat the Warriors, it seems very easy to rush out of the East. Difficult, so he had to go, and now, with Wade and Bosh in the Heat, he finally sees his best place.

On July 7th, on the third day after the official signing of the contract, the biggest news of the summer finally appeared in the NBA, James officially joined the Heat.

Wade, Bosh, James, the three big stars of the 03 generation joined the Heat at the same time. For a while, the Heat became the most eye-catching team, even surpassing the Warriors. The topic of the Heat's Big Three has also become the hottest among basketball fans. topic of.

Words such as "Heat wins the championship", "the league is invincible", and "the Big Three are invincible" can be seen everywhere on the Internet. Naturally, Heat fans are extremely happy, while Cavaliers fans are extremely angry.

In Cleveland, everything about James is being destroyed. Cavaliers fans are surprised, disappointed, and angry at the news that James has joined the Heat... In the past few years, James has been the darling of this city. The idol and symbol of the city, but now he is leaving the city.

Traitor, thigh hugger, coward, Cleveland's disgrace, along with the emergence of the words of the Heat's Big Three, such names were added to James' head.

No matter whether someone is happy or angry, this fact can no longer be changed. James has indeed decided to join the Heat. The press conference of the Heat's Big Three in Miami has attracted the attention of countless basketball fans.

Compared with the high-profile Heat, the Warriors, who were the championship champions last season, have been low-key recently. Even the renewal of Yang Shuai did not cause such a big sensation. Except for the renewal of Yang Shuai, the renewal actions of other players Chris - Mullin didn't stop either.

After Yang Shuai, the first thing Chris Mullin will leave behind is Stephen Jackson. As another captain of the team, Jackson also contributed to the Warriors' championship.

With 4 million in 4700 years, the Warriors kept this alternative shooting guard, because Jackson has played for the Warriors for three years. According to Bird's terms, his contract extension will not be restricted by the salary cap.After signing Jackson, the Warriors used the same technique to re-sign Anthony Morrow.

Because of the departure of Rasheed Wallace and Turiaf, the Warriors' inside line is also in a state of shortage. Chris Mullin's eyes began to turn to the big players among those free players. This time, the Warriors dug At the foot of the sun's wall, Chris Mullin's goal is Channing Frye, who is 2 meters tall but can also go inside and outside.

After the introduction of Frye, the Warriors suspended all actions, and their operation this summer seems to be over. There are still many big fish in the zi you market, but they have nothing to do with them.

With the passage of time, all the big and small stars have also settled down, but because of the precedent of the previous Heat Big Three, the next series of signings and transactions did not cause too much sensation. After the card players settled down one after another, the next actions did not cause much sensation.

With the passage of time, more and more people began to look forward to the arrival of the new season. The new Big Three of the Eastern Heat against the old Big Three of the Celtics, and the new generation of Western Warriors against the old stars of the Lakers. This season, there must be another A lot of wonderful things.
