Chapter 554 554. Can You Still Do This?

On July 7th, there was no action in the free market this year. With more than 29 million space, but seeing so many free agent signings and renewals, the Lakers, who seemed to have no idea, suddenly threw a blockbuster .

The Lakers won the former Pistons free agent Greg Monroe with a contract of 3 million in 2700 years and the final year of the player option, and then used Mike Scott to reach a deal with the Hornets to get the Hornets restricted free agent Bismarck- Biyombo!
Biyombo immediately signed a three-year, $3 million third-year player option contract with the Lakers.

Since the Hornets signed a huge contract with Batum with an average annual average of more than 2500 million, the starting salary was 2270 million, and the space was instantly blocked. After reaching a 4-year 5000 million contract extension with Kemba Walker, After Courtney Lee signed a 4-year contract extension of 4400 million and Al Jefferson signed a 3-year contract extension of 3000 million, the total salary is only 200 million short of the luxury tax threshold. The 164 million qualification offer to Bi Yongbo brought the total salary to 8137 million.

At this time, they have been unable to give Biyombo the contract that his market price should have. The value of Biyombo in the free market is about the mini-middle class, which is about 333 million.

Moreover, the Hornets are currently extremely short of manpower. Courtney Lee is the only shooting guard and can only sign a veteran with a basic salary. Bill Jefferson, what more Biyombo?

When the Lakers offered Biyombo a three-year, 3 million offer, and proposed to use Mike Scott, a backup shooting guard who is really not expensive for ordinary teams, to sign and then trade with Biyombo, Michael Jordan immediately I agreed.

A backup shooting guard with an average of 4+3 per game... I won't be able to find one without 500 million next year!It seems that it is not a disadvantage to be able to win 333 million.

Signed Monroe, sent away Scott and took back Biyombo. The Lakers' 15-man roster was already full, so Green's contract extension was also officially submitted to the league. Green had to play in the Lakers for at least three more years before he could transfer possible.

Green's new contract has a three-year non-tradable clause. The non-tradable clause and the right to veto transactions are actually two different things. The only option for the non-tradeable clause is to continue to maintain or give up these two options. Once Green gives up, the Lakers can send him to Any team, and Gasol's non-trade clause is the same.

The trade veto power of Kobe, Anthony, James and others means that the management can find a trade partner, and then they can choose to go or not.

But this is not important to Green. What is important is that he immediately received most of next season's salary after signing, a total of 1200 million before tax.

After paying agent commission, player union commission, state tax, and personal income tax, he received a total of $627. Green instantly changed from a man with a basic salary to a local tyrant!He is going to buy a house!

Beverly Hills...Green is still a bit reluctant, like Liu Ren, who is lucky enough to meet a Lakers fan and sell him a house for a cheap price, it is a rare encounter in ten years, and we live too close together, so it’s a little bit when you go to visit There is no novelty, so the new house Green chose is in the villa area of ​​San Marino.

Most of the black people are wealthy, and just got more than 600 million, and then threw out more than 500 million, and instantly turned into the poor face when they received the basic salary last season.

Fortunately, the endorsement contract with Nike has finally been won, 7 million in 3000 years, and Green will stay under Nike for the next [-] years!
After all, Nike still agreed to Green's average annual endorsement fee of more than 400 million yuan, but the number of years has been greatly increased, reaching seven years. From a long-term perspective, it can be regarded as neither profit nor loss.

Of course, an endorsement like Green does not have a signature shoe...

……

……

After the two signings of the Lakers were exposed, other teams collapsed in an instant, 8029 million!
The Lakers are now full of 15-man roster. They have Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green, Whiteside, and Korver, six All-Star members of last season, plus Antetokounmpo and Monroe. With a lineup like the new generation of supernovas, the total salary of the Lakers next season is only 8029 million!
Especially the inside line of the Lakers is simply outrageous!
Green, Gasol, and Whiteside are three All-Star-level insiders, plus Monroe and Biyombo are two starting-level insiders... The Lakers are crazy!

Popovich was the first to accuse the Lakers of robbing again!

Popovich is so sad!Monroe offered the Spurs a starting salary of 1700 million!If he could win Monroe for 900 million, he would have gone to the troika to reduce his salary a little bit more. Maybe he could persuade Leonard to also drop a few million, so wouldn't he win Monroe?
At that time, the troika plus Leonard, Monroe, Aldridge, and David West will make this lineup no worse than the Lakers!

The most stunned was Aldridge, who was in a bad mood after hearing the news.

Monroe's free market this year is actually cold, and it was the same in Liu Ren's original time and space.

Monroe asked for a relatively high price. He wanted the maximum four-year contract of more than 4 million that he could get. Of course, he finally found the Bucks who were short of centers because Larry Sanders pursued art and did not want to play. The team got a four-year contract of 6000 million yuan, but other strong teams were greedy for him and thought it was too expensive.

Aldridge was also very concerned about the free market before signing with the Spurs, especially Los Angeles. He had been waiting for a bald, white-haired man in Los Angeles to invite him to dinner.

However, Aldridge didn't receive the dinner invitation. Instead, he heard that there was an infatuated man stationed in Los Angeles who wanted to join the Lakers.

In the beginning, Aldridge mocked Monroe from the bottom of his heart. After all, he was an insider with tens of millions.

But I didn't expect Monroe to really "touch" the Lakers, and then he really went to the Lakers after a 300 million reduction from the market price!

Aldridge felt his heart couldn't take it anymore.

Aldridge began to feel that if he took the initiative, would the Lakers have won him for 3 million in 5400 years?

It's not possible, it's very possible!The Lakers made it clear that they would not let go of the opportunity to strengthen the inside, and also announced that Antetokounmpo will play point guard and small forward next season, and deliberately freed up playing time inside!Moreover, the Lakers won Monroe and Biyombo in one go. Aldridge asked himself that his contract is not much higher than the sum of the two. In fact, the Lakers still have more than 300 million space after signing the two. , is completely enough to sign him who is willing to cut his salary by three to four million...

"What the hell is there such an operation?"
