NBA: Load Iverson template after being blocked

Not long after the door of the free market opened, Jeremy Lin called Su Fan immediately after he successfully signed the contract.

Over the past year, he wanted to give up for a while, but it was Su Fan's constant encouragement that made him persevere in this alliance.

"Congratulations, my brother!" Su Fan blessed him.

The Rockets just signed Jeremy Lin with a minimum salary contract.

Despite the ups and downs in the Warriors last season and being sent to the Development League several times, in the closing game of the regular season, Jeremy Lin came off the bench and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in one fell swoop.

He's proven he can make it in this league if given the chance.

After being waived by the Warriors, Jeremy Lin did not neglect his training. Instead, under Su Fan's introduction, he has been training in a private basketball gym in Denver.

Because Jeremy Lin's asking price was not high, the Rockets signed him very quickly.

On the phone, Jeremy Lin was very concerned about Su Fan's whereabouts: "Brother, how about you? Are you ready to go?"

Su Fan thought for a while: "Not yet, haha!"

To be honest, Jeremy Lin still envied him very much in his heart. Su Fan didn't find a next player because of his strength. He was the one who picked the team, not the teams who picked him.

"You will definitely get the maximum salary contract, my good brother, come on!"

"Lend your auspicious words!"

As Jeremy Lin said, Su Fan has a chance to get the maximum salary next season.

In the new version of the labor agreement, there are some special clauses.

If in the first two years of his career, he can win the scoring title or be selected to the All-Star starting lineup, he has the right to get a maximum salary contract no higher than 2% of the team's salary cap.

In the season that just ended, Su Fan won the scoring title as a freshman and was selected to the All-Star starting lineup.

Because in today's alliance, only Su Fan meets this condition!

This special clause is also known as the "Sufan Clause" by the outside world.

In addition, there is also the famous "Ross Clause". The condition is that in the first three years of his career, he can win the regular season mvp, or be selected to the All-Star twice in a row, and have the opportunity to get the team's salary cap of 30. % maximum salary contract!

Durant became the first beneficiary of this clause, and Rose also relied on this clause to sign a five-year super-maximum salary of $5 million with the Bulls.

Facts have proved that Rose's choice of a long-term contract this time is an extremely wise choice. Not long after he renewed his contract with the Bulls with a maximum salary, he suffered the most serious injury in his career, and he has never been able to get a maximum salary since then!

Although he didn't know if the historical trajectory in this world would change, Su Fan still had some concerns in his heart.

The highest contract he can get now can reach 5 million for 8600 years!

Not long after the free market started, many teams with salary space also approached him!Willing to give him this super maximum salary contract!

But they were all rejected by Su Fan!

After discussing with the agent team, he decided that the goal now is to seek a maximum-salary contract with a player option for about two years in the second year!

In this way, he can maximize his salary!

In other words, within two seasons, he is confident to trigger the "Ross Clause".

Of course, there are also some championship teams who want to recruit Su Fan, but the salary they offer is not the maximum salary!

For example, Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, the "magic fortune teller", wants to repeat his old tricks, just like he did with the Big Three last year, to recruit Su Fan.

"You know, Sue, our team has a very strong championship competitiveness. James, Wade and others all hope that you can join. You are an extremely mature guard, and you are our answer at the No. 1 position!"

Su Fan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

Although James and Wade recruited Drew many times during the league, Su Fan finally declined the Heat's request!

Because Su Fan has not yet decided on his next home, many team managements are waiting and watching, hoping to have a dialogue with Su Fan and his agent team at the right time!

After all, Su Fan was the biggest star in the short transfer period after the lockout!

At this time, the free market is full of small and large signings.

The former two-time scoring champion McGrady announced that he has joined the Atlanta Hawks with a one-year basic salary contract of 135 million.

Lakers shooting guard Shannon Brown joined the Phoenix Suns on a one-year, $350 million deal.

Oden, the former No. 800 pick, was plagued by injuries and his value was low. In the end, he chose to stay with the Blazers, with an annual salary of only $[-] million.

After the Mavericks won the championship, many champion members chose to leave the team to seek big contracts!

The New York Knicks are still a big spender. Although they have two giants Anthony and Stoudemire, they still took Tyson Chandler for 4 million in 5600 years!

In the finals, Barea, who contributed to the famous scene and defended against James alone, also won a 4-year 1900 million contract from the Timberwolves!

The Los Angeles Clippers also announced that they signed Caron Butler with a three-year contract of 3 million!

The Mavericks also became the first team in NBA history to dismantle the lineup after winning the championship!

In fact, Cuban also has difficulties!

The luxury tax of the Mavericks last season was as high as 2000 million US dollars, which is also very rare in this era!

Just like last season, although the Mavericks won the championship, they paid more in luxury tax than the Heat!

The free market is in full swing, and it's coming to an end in a blink of an eye!

The Nuggets were willing to offer Su Fan a 5-year maximum salary contract of 8600 million, but they were unwilling to accept Su Fan's offer of a 2-year maximum salary extension!

The negotiations between the two parties finally broke down!

When the negotiations between the Nuggets and Su Fan broke down, many teams wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price!

Su Fan's manager, Jessica, was also a little anxious, and persuaded Su Fan to reconsider.

Su Fan insisted on his principles, he would never accept a contract without a player option!

The day before the start of the new season, the Rockets announced that Jeremy Lin had been waived!

This made Su Fan a little dumbfounded. Jeremy Lin was fired before his butt was hot in the Rockets!

Jeremy Lin was still crying on the phone, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the Knicks in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, Su Fan's team finally got their favorite contract!

3 million US dollars in 5100 years, and has a player option in the third year, you can jump out of the contract!

Before this, Su Fan had been wondering why the biggest news that was supposed to happen this offseason didn't happen!

In this year in history, the three-party deal between the Lakers, Hornets, and Rockets was rejected by Stern due to basketball reasons!

Paul's wish to team up with Kobe broke down, and then went to the Clippers to form a lob city with Griffin!

And in this world, the Hornets did not trade with the Lakers, but directly with the Clippers!

There is no so-called rumor of Kobe teaming up with Paul!

However, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has done a lot this offseason!

He constantly cleans up the junk contracts in the team to free up salary space!

Finally, the day before the start of the season, there was room to sign Su Fan!

That's right, from the very beginning of the transfer market, the Lakers' goal was Su Fan!

Instead of pursuing Paul, they have been cleaning up and freeing up salary space in order to sign Su Fan!

On the afternoon before Christmas, Kupchak, Kobe and others came to Beverly Hills in person and invited Su Fan to join the Lakers!

They showed enough sincerity, offered a maximum salary, and agreed to Su Fan's request, setting up player options in the last year of the contract!

This is the greatest respect a team can give a star!

At the end of the meeting, this scene happened:

"I will help you win the sixth crown!"

After hearing this, Kobe smiled and walked over to give Su Fan a high five and hug.
