Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

Jeffries cut salary for Bai Feng to stay on the team. Although only a small 2 million dollars was dropped, it was enough for the Knicks owner to breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, the Knicks got together a starting lineup.

JR, Bai Feng, Anthony, Jeffries, Dayao.

In the starting lineup, compared with the previous season, only the power forward position has changed. Originally, power forward Jeffries served as the team's starter.

There doesn't seem to be any change in other locations.

But Jeffries is not a little bit weaker than Stoudemire, which means that the team's front line will drop a lot.

The starting position is determined, and the next step is the rotation lineup.

At least one rotation player at each position is enough to make a complete team.

And now the Knicks have confirmed the rotation, only Chandler, Iman Shumpert, Steve Novak three can use ~.

There are no other players available for play-use.

It is nothing more than that there are still a few players at the water dispenser level, even if they play, it is useless.

As a result, the Knicks rotation is completely limited.

The team salary cap stipulated by the league this season is $62 million.

And just the annual salary of Bai Feng and Anthony has already exceeded the salary cap.

And the luxury tax line stipulated by the league is 72 million US dollars, but now the Knicks' existing lineup has exceeded the luxury tax line, which means that the Knicks have already paid a huge luxury tax.

This is why the team owner did not directly sign Jeffries for several million.

On the surface, the Knicks spent 8 million to sign Jeffries in three years, but in fact the team will spend at least 20 million, which means the team needs to pay a huge luxury tax.

The team's current lineup salary this season is close to the terrifying $100 million.

But the depth of the bench lineup is still far from enough.

Just with the current lineup, the Knicks have to pay at least tens of millions more in luxury taxes if they are more bosses.

But the Knicks owner, nothing more than money.

He doesn't care about spending more money, as long as the team can continue to win the championship, spending this little money is not a problem at all.

It's just that the league still has regulations. Once the team's total salary exceeds the luxury tax line, the team no longer has the right to sign players.

In other words, the Knicks are now unable to continue signing free agents.

Now, no matter how much Knicks owner Dolan has, he can't spend it.

Indeed, if it were not for the reason of the luxury tax line, perhaps the Knicks team owner would not let Stoudemire go, even if he spent an extra 50 million, he would keep Stoudemire.

In the end, when the Knicks were unable to introduce any players, they could only use the existing lineup this season.

Although it was difficult to make up the 15-man roster, there are really too few players available.

But despite this, the team owner probably ended up paying an extra luxury tax of nearly 60 million U.S. dollars because the team's total salary exceeded the luxury tax line.

Including the total salary of the team this season, the Knicks team owner needs to spend a total of 160 million US dollars.

Although so much money is said, team owner Dolan has no complaints.

But what makes him a pity is that there is a big problem with the team lineup.

…ask for flowers…………

Perhaps the Knicks in the new season have a very long history.

The Knicks spent a total of 160,000 US dollars this season, but they are still not the most expensive team in the league.

According to authoritative reports, the Brooklyn Nets, which got Garnett and Paul Pierce last season, paid as much as 90 million in luxury taxes this season.

The Nets spent 190 million U.S. dollars this season, including player salaries, becoming the team that paid the most luxury tax and the team that spent the most in a single season in history

But the reason why such a thing happened to the Nets is naturally because of the consequences of the player's salary increase, rather than directly signing the player.

This is still very different from the situation of the Knicks this season.

Otherwise, the Nets will never pay such a huge luxury tax because of signing players this season.

However, this year's Nets team is also expected to become a championship team.

After all, after spending so much money, the strength and depth of their lineup are their advantages.

The new season is about to start, and the Knicks' lineup can only be like this.

In fact, there is no problem with the core main lineup, and Bai Feng is still very strong.

It's just the lack of a good rotation lineup, which has always paved the way for the Knicks' new season.

It is best not to have players injured, otherwise the Knicks will really be unavailable.

Bai Feng is very confident about the lineup for the new season, and believes that the Knicks are still the biggest favorites to win the championship. .
