Chapter 265 265. Kobe's Salary Cut
Kobe and the Lakers canceled the previous extension agreement and re-signed a new contract!

Kobe Bryant’s previous contract extension was 4850 million for two years, 2350 million for the first year, and 2500 million for the second year. According to the calculations of the Lakers management, according to the current labor agreement, Kobe’s two-year contract is the first in the league anyway. high salary!Because James, who can get the highest salary, will only have a starting salary of 2290 million even if he renews his contract with the Heat.

What is a renewal contract? It means that the alliance renewal can only be officially submitted after the contract expires, but it is just signed in advance.

After thinking quietly for a while, Kobe took the initiative to contact the management and actively seek a salary cut!
Kobe doesn't care about money?Obviously not, it's just that the most important thing for him at this stage is the championship. The most important thing is to give the team room to strengthen, so that they can have a better chance of winning the championship. High-paying false titles can only be ranked behind.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kobe and Kupchak held a press conference to announce the cancellation of the previous renewal agreement. The new contract extension is 3 million for 5800 years, with a starting salary of 1600 million!
After the news came out, the fans were all boiling.

Who said that only Duncan and Nowitzki took the initiative to cut their salaries?And they have Kobe drop so much?Directly dropped from the highest salary in the league to the contract of an ordinary star!
All of a sudden, Kobe's status in the eyes of the fans has once again increased. According to Kobe's current state, it is not a big problem to maintain an All-Star level for another three or four years and reach the age of 40. You can refer to Duncan and Nowitzki for this point. Without being reimbursed for the next two seasons, his physical condition is much better than Liu Ren's previous memory.

到了这时候2016年要大幅度涨薪这件事已经所有人都知道了，科比现在签一个3年5800万的合同，到了16-17赛季的时候薪水是2300万，按照他的关注度和球迷数量给湖人创造的收益来说简直不能再廉价！

However, the third-year contract is a player option, which gives fans a lot of room for imagination, but Kobe just finished this season with a salary of 3000 million, a sudden drop of 1400 million, which still brought a huge impact to the fans.

Liu Ren saw this news while checking the news on his mobile phone at home.

"Fuck! This old man is really willing, even if he wants to renew his contract with the Lakers in 2016, he still has to give him a maximum salary! Even if he quits the contract in 16, he still needs to get almost 1000 million less! I really didn't expect Kobe to do this!" Liu Ren sighed, his admiration for Kobe deepened a little.

"It seems that Kobe is determined to win the sixth championship, but this is a good thing for us. Aren, you have a greater chance of winning the MVP! The Lakers have more salary space to sign in, and the record will definitely not be good by then. It will be worse than this season, and you may have more opportunities to perform next season, if you win the championship in these two years, then we will be able to ask for the maximum salary in 16!" Chen Hanni interpreted it from another perspective.

Businessmen, money lovers!Liu Ren's emotion was broken by Xiao Niu's words.

But moving is moving, and we still have to plan for the future!

The current goal of the Lakers is to recruit point guards. The management attaches great importance to the choice of LaVine given by Liu Ren. As for other signings, they put aside first. It's not turned on, so I can only put it aside, so I haven't contacted Liu Ren for the time being.

"Nini, how much salary space does the Lakers have now?" Liu Ren is not too clear about the current situation of the Lakers. He only knows that many people are leaving the team, and the specific salary space is unclear.

Chen Hanni took out her small notebook, and she recorded everything. There is a saying that a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

"The Lakers players who have contracts next season are Gasol 780 million, Kobe 1600 million, Whiteside 155 million, Nash 900 million, Green 127 million, Henry 120 million, Antetokounmpo 178 million, and your 600 million, Your contracts add up to 4460 million. Swaggy-p is about to renew the contract. Now the space occupied is 120 million. Bazemore also occupies 114 million, and Thackeray occupies 82. The total has already occupied 4776 million. , The salary cap for next season is about 6300 million, and there is still room for about 1500 million. Including Jeremy Lin who may be traded, the team still has room for about 700 million." Chen Hanni finished in one breath.

"I remember that Jeremy Lin's salary next season is 1500 million? How can there be 700 million left?" Liu Ren asked suspiciously.

"His salary is so high, but the salary space he occupies is only 880 million." Chen Hanni gave Liu Ren a white look, as if saying that it is terrible to be uneducated.

have to!As long as Liu Ren knows that the Lakers still have room for reinforcement, Liu Ren really can’t remember who he suggested to recruit. The changes in the league are quite different from what he remembers. With so many talented players, plus the potential LaVine's talent is enough to explode, in a few years it will be the management's headache to pay.

But the Lakers are willing to spend money, so Liu Ren doesn't have to worry about this.

The players and fans on the Lakers side lamented Kobe's desire for championships and the greatness of "regarding money like dung", but that's it, they are more concerned about what Kobe can get back after freeing up millions of space , Which star can be introduced to strengthen the team.

Someone in Miami just showed a video of Kobe and the Lakers front office's press conference to one of his players and smiled knowingly.

"Dwyane, I also want to give you a maximum salary, just like the Lakers did to Kobe, but the most important thing for us now is to keep LeBron and Chris, what do you think? Only by keeping them can we be more competitive Power!" Pat Riley said to Wade with a smile.

Wade is silent, why did he jump out of the contract?Isn't it just for a longer and bigger contract?
But the Heat management is obviously unwilling to give it. Wade has been discussing with the management about the early renewal of the contract since the end of the season. According to the contract he signed in the summer of 10, he can renew the contract early or jump out of the contract after 4 years.

Wade wanted to renew the contract directly at the beginning. After all, the last two years of this 6-year 1.1 million contract are the big ones. Compared with his worth, the first four years are equivalent to cheap contracts. It would be great for Kobe to get a three-year contract extension two years in advance. He doesn't expect to get Kobe's three-year 09 million contract extension, but just hopes to renew the contract on the basis of the existing contract.

But Pat Riley has been avoiding this issue, Wade had no choice but to jump out of the contract to put pressure on, but Pat Riley insisted on leaving James and Bosh without so much room.

No, it just so happened that Kobe took the initiative to cut his salary by 1400 million. Wade, who has a good face, is embarrassed to say that he wants a maximum salary.
