Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

David West is a player Yang Li is very familiar with. As Paul's best deputy at the time, his statistics have always been good, but his results have not made any breakthroughs.

Until he went to Cosmos Yong at the end of his career, as an important role on the bench, he won two NBA championships.

What impressed Yang Li the most about him was his attitude in the Mogou incident.

It can be said that the only two people in the entire NBA who have made positive statements in this incident are David West and Steve Kerr.

Cole is because his brother-in-law is a university professor who studies the national conditions of our country, and he learned the truth of many things from him.

As for David West, he himself knows the history and current situation of our country very well. During the live broadcast, his analysis of the situation in our country is more detailed and clear than many college students.

And it's also different from the double-faced guy who pretended to speak out at the beginning, was later praised by YangTV, and was violently attacked by the US Internet, and then stepped back and dodged the Chinese.

David West directly and positively stated the entire process of the Pearl of the Orient from being ceded to returning.

This directly made Yang Li shout professionally, and even wanted to suggest that he get into the block.

For such an interesting guy, Yang Li felt that it was necessary for him to win the championship at his peak.

As for the two stars on the back line, Yang Li didn't have any doubts or worries at all.

Ray Allen obviously still has fuel, let alone Manu, after all, the older the demon knife, the more demon it becomes.

After this day's game, the Clippers have three days of rest until November 11 when they will face the Golden State Warriors at home.

On October 10, Yang Li specially called Stephen Curry, James Harden, Serge Ibaka and others into the team manager's office.

At the same time, their families and agents came with them.

There is only one topic today, and that is to renew the contract in advance.

The contracts of these three will expire in the summer of 2013, and the Clippers are now facing the Thunder's 12-year dilemma.

But the Thunder in this life don't have to worry about these things, after all, their three young masters will definitely renew their contracts with a maximum salary.

It's not that Yang Li can't afford the luxury tax, it's just that if these three people fill up the salary cap, then they can only operate on the cap in the future.

The signing of the Clippers will cause great trouble, which is obviously not what Yang Li wants to see.

Of course, Yang Li also knew a very crucial piece of information.

In 2015, the NBA will sign a new broadcast agreement, so in the 2016-2017 season after it takes effect, the salary cap of the league will rise sharply!

Therefore, if you want to sign a "child labor contract", now is the best time.

However, the only problem is that Curry's contract is not easy to handle.

After the lockout period ended last year, labor and management finally reached a preliminary agreement.

In the new agreement, the league will set up a "Curry clause" for young players in rookie contracts to reward those players who perform well.

This clause is that if a player wins the MVP or is selected as an All-Star starter twice during the rookie contract period, then after the rookie contract ends, he will get a maximum salary contract with a starting salary of 30% of the salary cap.

After the original rookie contract ended, at most he could only get a contract with a starting salary of 25% of the salary cap.

Just listen to the name of this clause and you will know that it is tailor-made for Curry.

"Stephen, James, Serge, if you can, I hope you can play in the Clippers until you retire..."
