NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 181
But now it is only the 28th pick in the second round, and there is no way to select players from these two prestigious schools. Davidson simply doesn't care much about this second-round pick. Since the Suns want it, let them forget it.

……

The two parties reached a verbal transaction agreement, and the deal will be announced after the draft is over.

Barkley was so excited that he called Davidson that night. He was looking forward to joining the Kings. He saw the finals of this season from beginning to end!
The strength of the King is definitely not as good as the Bulls, but Barkley is quite confident that as long as he joins the Kings, it will definitely not be difficult to kill the Bulls.

When the time comes to kill the Bulls and win the championship, the gold content of this championship will be frighteningly high.

The Bulls are known as the strongest team in NBA history. To kill such a team and win the championship, such a championship ring is definitely a top two!
Davidson is also looking forward to the start of next season. The starting lineup of the Kings next season has really reached the point of frightening.

Muresan, Barkley, Bus, Richmond plus Nash, such a lineup, no team in the entire league is an opponent.

The only thing is that the bench is still a little weak, maybe even weaker than the season that just ended, Petrie and himself must still think of ways.

After negotiating a deal with the Suns, the most important thing before the Kings is Muresan's contract extension.

According to Petrie's plan, he is going to prepare a four-year 2000 million contract for Muresan, with an average of 500 million US dollars per year.

At first glance, this contract is quite a lot. You must know that Barkley's contract is actually only 476 million US dollars.

A higher contract than Barkley, Petrie feels that this contract is not low.

In addition to Muresan, the Kings also announced immediately after the end of the season that they had given up the team option for the bus.

Then he signed a two-year contract with the bus. There is not much to say about this contract. According to the rules of the league, this contract can only be signed for a maximum of two years and 290 million US dollars.

It has to be said that the Kings really made a lot of money. Players like Daba signed for two years with an annual salary of just over one million yuan. They couldn't find such a cheap deal in the entire league.

……

95 can be regarded as a relatively special period in NBA history, and 96 is the same.

The newly introduced salary agreement did not introduce the player's maximum salary rule as Stern planned, which means that the salary of some players who meet the rules can be unlimited.

This category of players definitely does not include rookies like Daba who have less than three years of experience.

As long as the boss is willing to give money, even an annual salary of [-] million US dollars for a qualified player is completely acceptable...

It is precisely because the maximum salary regulations for players have not been discussed, so this year's offseason player signings can be described as unbelievable.

Jordan directly signed a contract with the Bulls with an annual salary of 3000 million!
$3000 million!
You must know that in the next new season, that is, the 96-97 season, the team's salary cap is only more than 400 million points...

Jordan's salary alone is far above the salary cap!

Some fans may wonder why Jordan can sign such a big contract. The salary of one person exceeds the salary cap. Is this salary cap just for decoration? !
The salary cap is naturally not a decoration, mainly because of the Bird clause. The team can designate a player who meets the Bird clause, and his salary is not included in the salary cap.

In other words, Jordan's annual salary of 3000 million is not included in the salary cap, which is why Jordan can sign such a big contract.

Jordan's crazy contract directly disrupted the market. Countless players who happened to be in the contract year all looked at the team eagerly. Jordan can get 3000 million. Although these players are not as strong as Jordan, they can't be too outrageous, right? !
As a result, Pacers leader Reggie Miller signed a contract with the Pacers with an annual salary of 1125 million US dollars.

You must know that before this, the league rarely had an annual salary of tens of millions, let alone an annual salary of tens of millions, and an annual salary of more than 500 million was very rare.

Now being disturbed by Jordan, the free market is completely chaotic, and individuals can request super contracts.

In this situation, Petrie is in trouble...

Because of Muresan's point, it is obvious that 500 million cannot be signed.

Muresan can be said to be one of the best blue-collar centers in the league today. He has excellent rebounding and interior single-defense capabilities. It is obviously impossible to sign with only 500 million US dollars.

Davidson also noticed the madness in the free market, and he was not going to get involved with Muresan's signing.

In Davidson's view, the king had to sign Muresan even if he didn't sign it, and he had to pay an appropriate price according to the situation. Otherwise, if Muresan left, the king would have nowhere to cry.

Now Davidson is focusing on the draft. This time, the Kings only have one pick, which is the [-]th pick from the Suns.

On June 6, the draft began in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

After a lapse of one year, Davidson returned to New Jersey again, naturally he was very sad.

If I had stayed in New Jersey back then, what would it be like now?
Anyway, one thing is certain, the Nets will definitely not be as miserable as they are now, almost from a championship-level team to a poor team.

At the draft conference, Davidson also saw Willis Reed.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Reed, who was originally in high spirits, looks a lot haggard.

It's normal to think about it. When the team encounters this kind of predicament, he, the general manager, is naturally devastated.

After seeing Davidson, Reid nodded at Davidson with a wry smile. If he wanted to say what he regrets the most now, it was naturally letting Davidson go.

Dad also came with Davidson this time. He has already decided to step down before the start of next season. He came to the draft this time just to get together with old friends.

Seeing the old man coming, many coaches in the venue stood up and said hello, and exchanged greetings with Davidson along the way.

Now Davidson is definitely the hottest head coach in the league, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as promising.

There are many young coaches in the league, but the vast majority of young coaches cannot persist in their positions for three years...

Because it is impossible for the team to give these young coaches too long time, if they haven't played anything in three years, they can only pack up and leave.

Now it took Davidson only one year to take care of the Kings into what they are now. What is certain is that Davidson's head coach position is extremely stable.

Dad and Davidson also greeted each other warmly.

Of course, not everyone welcomes Dad and Davidson, such as Larry Brown and Pat Riley...
