Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Before operating in the free market, let's take a look at the current members and salary of the Clippers:

A total of 8 people who originally had contracts:

c Dayao 500 million, jersey number: 11

c/pf Ibaka 129 million, jersey number: 9

c/pf Paul Millsap £900m, shirt number: 24

sf Ron Artest 688 million, jersey number: 96

sf Paul George 276 million, jersey number: 13

sf/g Sean Livingston 330 million, jersey number: 34

g Manu Ginobili 1290 million, jersey number: 20

g James Harden 460 million, jersey number: 3

g Stephen Curry 341 million, jersey number: 30

The 4 rookies selected this year have confirmed their signings:

sg Klay Thompson 256 million, jersey number: 8

sf Kawhi Leonard 192 million, jersey number: 2

sf/sg Jimmy Butler 103 million, jersey number: 23

PG Isaiah Thomas 58, jersey number: 22

There are currently 12 members in the team, with a total salary of 5523 million.

The salary cap for the 2011-2012 season is 5804 million, and the luxury tax line is 7030 million.

The Clippers have not even exceeded the salary cap for two consecutive seasons.

Even won the championship in the second season.

This makes other teams envious and jealous.

The first thing Yang Li did was to recall Hassan Whiteside, who was drafted last season, from the Development League.

Filled in the backup center position after Brad Miller and Jordan left.

Then, before the rookie player signed, he contacted the free agent Shane Battier.

Yang Li was not stingy either, and directly offered Battier a three-year, 3 million contract.

Battier originally wanted to win the championship, so he signed with the Clippers without any hesitation.

In the end, Yang Li did something crazy that surprised the entire league.

The Clippers even signed their assistant Chris Webber with a basic salary of 1 a year!

Weber is 38 years old this year, and he has not stopped training, and his physical condition is very good.

The most important thing is that he himself also hopes to win an NBA championship as a player.

That being the case, Yang Li must help him fulfill this wish.

But the rest of the league doesn't see it that way.

Webber has been retired for several years, and the current state can't even look down on a water dispenser.

Yang Li is filling a cup!

He just wants other players to see, as long as you think, Yang Li can lead you to the championship!

For a while, there were endless scolding about Yang Li.

The Clippers also have a player assistant, Udoka who is younger than Webber.

Why didn't he become a player to participate in the nba game next season?

It was because Yang Li discovered that he had an improper relationship with a married man in the Clippers management.

So Uduka was fired directly.

This kind of thing is very common in Laomei, but the rules are the rules, and if you find it, you have to deal with it.

Of course, Yang Li did not make this matter public, but asked Uduka to resign on his own initiative.

This kind of matter only needs to be dealt with internally, and there is no need for the whole world to know about it.

After all, Uduka has been with Yang Li for two years, so it won't ruin Uduka's future because of this.

After leaving the Clippers, Udoka immediately accepted the recruitment of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Went to the Lakers as an assistant coach and joined their coaching team.

At this time, the Clippers only had Atkinson as an assistant coach, and Yang Li needed to find another assistant coach.

Shortly after sending out the recruitment information, the Clippers received countless emails from applicants.

One of them aroused Yang Li's great interest.

From: Brad Stevens.

This young coach who has been the head coach of the Celtics since 13 years.

Starting from the 14-15 season, he has led the team to the playoffs for 7 consecutive years.

But now his resume is not as rich as it was later. He only led Butler University to the ncaa finals twice.

This is already great.

You know, Stevens is only 35 years old this year, younger than many NBA players.

Yang Li asked his assistant Emily to invite Stevens to the office, and the two chatted all afternoon.

In the end, Yang Li offered Stevens a three-year, 3 million assistant contract.

He respects Stevens' ideas, and Stevens will definitely be the head coach of a certain team in the future.

Except that Stevens joined the Clippers' coaching staff.

Yang Li also recruited a heavyweight to the coaching team.

That was the original Spurs shooting assistant-Chip Engelland.

Originally, the Spurs would choose Kawhi Leonard because England said he could teach Kawhi to shoot.

Now that the Clippers have snatched the small card, it will naturally require England to join.

Yang Li took advantage of the lockout period to find Englander directly and persuade him to join the coaching team of the Clippers.

The salary is twice what it was at the Spurs!

After all, San Antonio is a small ball market with little money.

Los Angeles is different, not to mention the Clippers just won the championship.

Now the market value of the Los Angeles Clippers has jumped directly to the top five in the league.

The roster of 15 people is complete, and the coaching team has also been upgraded.

Now Yang Li is doing one thing.

Watch the fun!

Not to mention, the biggest excitement of this offseason is probably the 2011 drama-Where did Paul go?

After the New Orleans Hornets released the news of trading Paul, a total of 4 teams made offers.

They are the Lakers, Celtics, Warriors and Magic.

The Lakers are not the same as the previous life this time. The bargaining chips they provide are Ariza, Fisher, Odom and a future first-round pick and a second-round pick.

For the Celtics, Rondo and a future first-round pick are offered.

For the Warriors, provide Monta Ellis and Jordan Hill, as well as a future first-round pick.

The Magic is offering Redick + Nelson + Anderson + Bass, as well as a future second-round pick.

The Lakers' chips are very different from their previous lives. Not only did they replace Gasol with Ariza and Fisher, but they also added a future first-round pick and a future second-round pick.

Yang Li really did not expect this change.
