The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Chatting and chatting, it is natural to talk about the next free agent market.

They have a good relationship and have nothing to hide.

"Don, I talked to Jimmy, we're all going to be out of New Orleans this offseason."

Walker spoke.

He didn't say the reason, but it actually had a lot to do with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's stats for this year were far worse than last year's average triple-double.

In other words, Tang Tian sacrificed a lot of ball rights for him and Butler, and the statistics are completely unworthy of the No. 1 card in the league.

"Good thing."

Tang Tian nodded.

The NBA is a business league as well as a data league. Like 2K, if the super giants stay together for a long time, the strength of the players and the market will weaken.

The Heat's Big Three and the current Cavaliers' Big Three were hacked, and this reason has a lot to do with it.

In order for the team to win, the super giants must have a division of labor and sacrifices.

They are the same, winning together is great, but not to mention his, the personal data of Walker and Butler have plummeted.

Especially Butler, after two years of playing, he may become the next Bosh or Love.

The three of them didn't speak, but they were actually thinking about each other in their hearts, tacitly.

"But it must be the maximum salary. If it is not the maximum salary, even if I tie up Benson, I have to make him pay the luxury tax to keep you."

Tang Tian then added a sentence.

This is what he promised Walker at the beginning.

Although the statistics are not very impressive, the strength shown by Walker and Butler is definitely worth the maximum salary.

"Actually, I don't want to leave..."

Butler couldn't hold back in the end, and still spoke.

It can be seen that Walker should have done a lot of ideological work for him before.

"understood."

Tang Tian treated Butler's head like he was a proud younger brother.

They are discussing here, but what the Pelicans management thinks is still unknown.

If Benson wants to pay the super luxury tax to keep people, then Walker and Butler may not necessarily leave if they want to.

Furthermore, Xiao Hua has already decided to step down, and it is still unknown what changes will be made to the system and rules by the new president of the alliance.

If there is a hard salary cap, the luxury tax is not something you can pay if you want to.

All in all, the fate of Walker and Butler will only be finalized after the change of president is completed and the free market opens.

The first thousand and 170 chapters of Tang Tian's clause

After a wild night of celebration at the bar, the entire Pelicans returned to New Orleans the next day.

The bar carnival is just a small episode after winning the championship, and the championship parade two days later is the main event.

The parade in the Dynasty Year will definitely be even crazier than the past two years.

In the past two days, the team members were still immersed in the joy of winning the championship and indulged themselves crazily.

Tang Tian was also at home with Olsen and his two children, enjoying a rare holiday time.

He has the task of the Men's Basketball World Cup next summer, and he has to enjoy it this summer.

But only one day after such a day, a guest came to his manor.

It's not Dempsey, he's out of the championship parade now.

It's Tatum.

Tatum came to Tang Tian at this time, naturally it was about the change of the president of the alliance.

Xiao Hua's resignation is already the general trend, and the position of the new president of the alliance will be vacant.

Naturally, Tatum wants to be back in office.

According to him, the league's first regular meeting of the new season will be held before draft night.

Just like last year, at that time, the regular meeting will decide whether Xiao Hua will continue to serve as the president, and determine the candidate for the new president.

He came to Tang Tian, ​​hoping that Tang Tian could say hello to Benson, and the latter would push him out.

The Pelicans are now in full swing, and Benson's voice on the committee is also very important.

The other one, he wanted to discuss with Tang Tian the matter of forming alliances.

This has also been discussed many times in the past, but now with the change of the league president, there is an opportunity to implement it immediately.

"My idea is the same as before. Set a hard salary cap for teams that have continuously exceeded taxes, so that they can limit grouping to the greatest extent."

The first point Tatum said has been made before.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

Speaking of which, they formed the Hard Training Brothers to deal with Xiao Hua.

Now that Xiao Hua is stepping down, there is no need for them to continue.

And as they communicated before, they are together, and the personal loss of Walker and Butler is actually huge.

"One more thing, I hope to change the current designated veteran clause, expand its scope, and I also gave it a new name."

Tatum's next words aroused Tang Tian's curiosity.

The purpose of the designated veteran clause is actually to limit grouping.

For superstars, how many contracts they get has little to do with their own wishes, and more depends on the rules of the league.

To put it bluntly, if you can sign a contract of 4000 million, no one will sign a contract of 3900 million.

The designated veteran clause is such a product. He has expanded the range of stars who can sign super-maximum salaries, and the possibility of teaming up is naturally smaller.

"Tang Tian's terms."

Tang Tian was taken aback by Tatum's next words.

This flattery is also a little too straight.

However, Tatum's subsequent explanation made him feel that the name was actually not a big problem.

Tatum made only one modification.

The current designated veteran terms are as follows.

The current contract has 1 or 2 years remaining, has played in the league for 7 to 9 seasons, has never changed teams or was traded to the team during the rookie period, and the performance meets the standards. Must be a free agent or the remaining contract In the next year or two, he will be eligible to sign a veteran contract extension with his home team.

： ：

1. In the most recent season or two of the last three seasons, the player was selected to the NBA first team, second team or third team;

2. The player was named Defensive Player of the Year in the most recent season or in two of the last three seasons;

3. In one of the last three seasons, the player was elected as the MVP of the regular season;

The starting salary for designated veteran renewals is at least 30% of the salary cap and no more than 35%.

To renew the contract of a designated veteran, the contract must be 5 years. If the designated veteran renews the contract in advance, the sum of the new contract and the remaining period of the existing contract must be 6 years.

If the team's total salary already includes two such players, the team will no longer be able to use this clause to sign free agents or re-sign players.

The modification Tatum made was to remove the words "never changed teams or was traded to this team during his rookie period".

Because Tang Tian had changed teams before, he was not eligible to sign the designated veteran clause.

If this is removed, he will be fine.

And this change may seem small, but it's actually big.

Because if one of the three criteria is met, you can sign the designated veteran clause, and the number of people who can sign will expand instantly.

Butler, for example, is perfectly content.

And Walker, if he makes three more teams this season, he can too.

Not only the two Pelicans, among the free agents this summer, James, Durant, and George can all sign such a contract.

In other words, it is difficult for the Cavaliers, Warriors, and Pelicans to retain their current lineup, and the grouping style will be eliminated in an instant.

The NBA is a business league, and it is most effective to use money to solve the grouping.

After hearing this, Tang Tian also agreed with Tatum's proposal.

He even gave Tatum a compliment.

In the year since stepping down, Tatum has really grown a lot.

A day later, the Pelicans' championship parade officially kicked off in New Orleans.

The fans of New Orleans were dispatched all over the city, and the crowds were empty, and the grand scene was extremely crazy.

Although this year's parade is just like last year's bus parade.

But unlike last year, the Pelicans moved out all three championship trophies!

The three trophies are lined up in a row, and the cards are unprecedented!

This is the official announcement that the Pelicans have become a dynasty team!

The enthusiasm of the fans is also extremely high.

Tang Tian, ​​Walker, Butler, and Davis were in the same car.

The car was driving forward when suddenly someone threw a box of things at the car.

This move startled everyone.

Walker and the others ran away, and the bodyguards immediately controlled the thrower.

The United States does not ban guns. If a grenade is thrown up, it will be Fire.in.the.holel.

That's a big girl with the same F cup as Cecilia.

Even though she was controlled by the bodyguards, she was still waving desperately at Tang Tian and the others on the bus, and then reached out to make a phone call.

Tang Tian took a look at the thing thrown up at this time, and it looked familiar.

I walked over to take a look and picked it up, only to find that it was the durex he endorsed.

He turned it over and saw a cell phone number on the back.

This means, the obvious cannot be more obvious.

Walker and the others also came to their senses one after another, and when they saw Tang Tian's handsome appearance on the box, they all gradually understood.

This is a cannon coming from the sky.

And that girl is not only F, but also has big hips, and looks very good.

"Don, don't worry, I won't tell my sister-in-law."

Walker said with a smirk.

"Yeah, I didn't see anything, did I, AD?"

Butler also raised eyebrows at Tang Tian, ​​and then pushed Davis.

"Yes Yes."

Davis nodded with thick eyebrows.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and the third chapter Xiao Hua officially stepped down
