Legend of Tomorrow

There are many signings and transactions in the NBA free market. Brian Colangelo often calls Guo Xu and asks him if he wants to sign a strong free agent who is willing to reduce his salary to join. The Suns have salary space and can sign a mid-level player in 2006. -There is no need to pay luxury tax in the 2007 season.

There were many people who wanted to join the Suns, but Guo Xuquan rejected them. The reason was very simple. Most of them were swing players who wanted to join the Suns and the Suns didn't need them.

Why can't we use someone who has the ability to join? It's okay to sign him as a substitute. Brian puzzled.

Last season we had many newcomers who were not trained and had no chance to play. Wouldn't it be better to give them more opportunities to perform in the regular season next season? Two veterans are enough. It would be a waste if they don't play. If they do play, they won't be able to play. The potential can be tapped, but the status will only decline. For the long-term development of the team, I recommend training new players.

Okay, I'll just listen to you. Brian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He felt that the conversation between the two was strange, as if he was the player and Guo Xu was the stingy boss who wanted to save money.

Ever since Brian knew about basketball and the existence of the NBA, he had never heard of a core player like Guo Xu who saves money for the team. Is it because he feels comfortable bringing together a team of players with minimum salary?

Bryan wants to sign someone because this year's new NBA collective bargaining agreement has added an amnesty clause. Several highly cost-effective players have appeared in the free market, and they are those who have been amnestied.

Because this clause originated from the super bad contract of the Knicks' Central Shooting King Alan Houston, it is also called the Alan Houston Clause.

The terms stipulate that if the team's total salary exceeds the NBA salary cap, a player can be laid off on the premise of ensuring that the contract salary is fulfilled. The player's remaining salary needs to be paid, but it is not included in the team's total salary. This move is designed to help the team avoid the luxury tax, so that the team will have more room to make lineup adjustments.

The so-called amnesty is to directly kick out the high-paid players who are no longer needed in the team. Why not lay off employees? According to NBA regulations, after a player is laid off, the player's salary will still be included in the team's total salary, and the luxury tax will still be paid, which is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.

The Knicks have too many bad contracts, and this rule is that the league wants to help them. Since the Knicks are located in New York and are the team with the highest commercial value, David Stern has always wanted to lift them up.

Unfortunately, after 1999, the Knicks became a typical example of mud that cannot support the wall.

What is ironic is that Houston was not pardoned. The Knicks chose to amnesty another player on the team, Jerome Williams, nicknamed Garbage Dog.

Because of league regulations, teams must insure the top five players in the team's remaining salary or the top five average annual salary. Once the insured players are injured and miss the game, part of their salary will be compensated by the insurance company. When a player misses 41 consecutive games or more, the insurance company will pay 80% of his salary.

In other words, the biggest culprit for Houston is actually the insurance company, not the Knicks.

There are many high-paid players who have been pardoned. There is one player that many teams want to recruit into the lineup, and that is Mavericks captain Michael Finley.

Finley signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Mavericks in 2001. By this year, his contract will cause the Mavericks to pay at least $50 million in luxury tax over the next three seasons.

In his previous life, Mavericks boss Cuban reluctantly pardoned Finley. After Finley was pardoned, he gave Cuban a loud slap in the face. He chose to join the Spurs in the same district and won the championship in 2007.

Now Finley wants to join the Suns to fill the vacancy left by Joe Johnson and compete for the championship. An embarrassing thing happened. The Suns management rejected Finley, even if it only cost less than $3 million next season. The Sun will not announce it to the outside world to save him face.

Reggie Miller was also amnestied by the Pacers. He has retired, but because he has one year left on his contract and needs to be paid by the Pacers, in order to avoid paying $6 million in luxury taxes,

The Pacers amnesty the greatest player in franchise history. Although he has retired, he can still make some contributions to the team. Miller received a lot of applause, but he just retired and refused to join the strong teams.

The Hawks waived Penny Anfernee Hardaway. This great player's contract expired in 2006, but the Hawks management couldn't wait. This guy is always injured, has low efficiency, and likes to rely on his old skills, so he stays in the team to watch. It's annoying to wear.

Hardaway was rejected when he wanted to return to the Suns. Not every veteran has the opportunity to realize his championship dream. The Suns signed him completely useless, and he can't even be called a mascot. There is no luck in his entire career. The Suns don't need to attract fans by discussing how charming Hardaway was at his peak.

The more people the Suns refuse, the more they will inevitably be targeted by the media. Many experts are puzzled by the Suns' lack of reinforcements in the summer.

There is obviously enough salary space, why not add some insurance to defend the title?

Even if the Suns want to keep a spot, they can waive a second-round pick? Signing a veteran is definitely better. Is James Jones, a marginal player, better than Finley?

In fact, Guo Xu thinks Jones is better because Jones is not famous and he doesn't want anyone who affects Guo Xu's popularity.

After Durant joined the Warriors in his previous life, Stephen Curry was unable to win the regular season MVP. No matter how good he played, Curry's evaluation was not high because the Warriors' lineup was too strong.

The Suns are also facing this situation now. Finley is obviously just a role player, but he is very famous, giving people the illusion that he is very strong. This is something Guo Xu cannot accept.

Finley averaged 36.8 minutes per game for the Mavericks last season, hitting only 6 goals in 14.2 shots, with a shooting percentage of 42.7%. He averaged only 2.1 free throws per game, 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

It is not difficult to see from the data that Finley has almost no breakthrough ability. He relies entirely on jump shots to score. With this point in nearly 37 minutes, the offensive efficiency is obviously a tragedy.

With Finley's current level, it is impossible for him to play more than 25 minutes after joining the Suns. He will struggle to average 10 points per game.

If the Suns focus on developing new players and let Finley only play 10 minutes, then he will definitely have no data. Maybe he will retain the reputation of taking a salary cut to help the Suns build a dynasty, but how will people evaluate Guo Xu?

Experts and fans will think that the Suns' lineup is really strong and a team of All-Stars, because former All-Star Finley can only be a marginal player after joining. They have a reference. When he was with the Mavericks, Finley was the team's third scoring point.

In short, Guo Xu will never cooperate with a person like Finley who is famous but not powerful. He will stay where he is.

If a veteran like Alonzo Mourning wants to come to the Suns, Guo Xu will definitely welcome him. Because the kidney fighter Mourning has the strength, everyone thought he was dead, and helping him get a championship ring is still a good gimmick. It's a pity that Mourning is stubborn. He has deep feelings for the Heat and returns to the Heat.

There are some things in his heart that Guo Xu will not tell anyone, they will always be secrets that rot in his stomach.

He only wants two kinds of teammates, one is a rookie with great potential who has become a star or an excellent role player in his previous life; the other is a player with star power but no ball rights, who can explode if given the ball and is currently seriously underestimated. .

Only when Guo Xu wins the championship with these two types of people will he receive the highest praise. He will be labeled with labels such as He can drive the whole team, He has the strongest personal ability, and He can make his teammates stronger. Unless there is a second born again, who knows the potential of these people?

This is a shortcut to surpass Jordan and become the first person in NBA history!
