Chapter 1077 (1/2)
There were a lot of big signings in the NBA in July.
The 76ers are actively recruiting and rebuilding, otherwise they will not even reach the ”poor line” next season.
They poached bull star power forward Paul Millsap for $58 million in three years, with the player option in the third year.
Because of Millsap's height and age, the bulls are reluctant to renew his contract at a high salary, and the bulls are ready to rebuild this summer.
Not only Millsap, Wade also jumped out of the contract to leave, he knew that the bulls had no future and could not compete for the championship. He and rose overlap in position, not suitable to play together, both are not good at shooting three points, rely on breakthrough play.
After the Bulls Signed rolden, plus rose and Asik, the total salary was very high, and they would not give Millsap and wade any more contracts. They paid a lot of luxury taxes last season, but they didn't win the championship. It's time to break up.
Then the 76ers signed King's point guard, kenbar walker, for four years with 48 million.
With harden as a partner, Walker's data is general, last season's average field play 34 minutes, only 15.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.4 steals, shooting percentage of 38.5%, three-point shooting rate of 30.4%.
Walker is a defender who likes to pick and roll. He is very strong when he rushes up. He can use the backward step and all kinds of fake movements to change direction to get rid of the defenders and create shooting space for himself.
He overlaps with Hadden in position and is full of creativity when breaking through with the ball. If he doesn't hold the ball, it's over, and he can't find the rhythm of attack.
In 2013, the Malouf brothers sold the king, and the team almost left Sacramento to move to Seattle. But with the help of Sacramento mayor and former NBA star guard Kevin Johnson, the king finally stayed in Sacramento. Taking over the team is Indian IT tycoon Vik lanadev, the price is 535 million US dollars.
Vivik didn't like Walker very much. He didn't feel like a point guard at all, nor was he suitable for working with harden, so he didn't match his contract and let him go in vain.
The 76ers also gave a contract to Nicola yokic, the second round rookie inside line, to find a substitute for Jordan to shoot.
Add point guard Kobe, 76ers four positions have good players, the only weakness is the small forward position, Jason Richardson is a free man, will not renew the contract, the rest is blue collar Luke - barmot, last season from the nets for talitovic.
The management traded center pekovic from the Timberwolves last season and the jazz, the bottom salary in the league, for 7 million trading exceptions and the Jazz marginal forward Joe Ingels who was not a draft in the NBA.
Jazz team lineup is disordered, do not trade, next season only a high salary Derek - fevos, small forward Gordon - Hayward now magic. The Jazz now want to make a bad choice for high ranking rookies, digging pekovic is to reach the ”poor line.”.
The NBA's payroll cap soared to $70 million next season, continuing to set a record high, nearly 11% higher than the previous season's $63.06 million. Meanwhile, the luxury tax threshold for the new season is $84.7 million, up 10.3% from $76.82 million in the previous season.
According to the regulations, the total minimum salary of NBA teams is 90% of the wage cap, which means that the minimum wage of the team in 2015-16 is $63 million. So far, the total wages of many teams are below the minimum wage threshold. Even if the Jazz trade to pekovich, it's still three million short.
The Timberwolves signed the Champions League MVP beliza for $11.7 million in three years and extended Garnett's contract for another 16 million in two years.
At first glance, these two contracts are also aimed at reaching the ”poor line”. Garnett can't make a move at all. He actually earns 8 million a year. Timberwolves management is willing to give Garnett a high salary as a mascot, he chose the former between money and chasing the championship ring.
Because Garnett is not sure if he can join a strong team to win the championship. He wants to join a strong team, and the other side doesn't necessarily want him to play 20 minutes per game, 6.6 + 6.6 + 1.6. He can only shout 666.
The strong teams really don't need Garnett. For example, the warriors already have Nowitzki. Go to the Lakers and hold Guo Xu's thigh? Garnett's pride did not allow it. He can only get the basic salary, but also can't stand Guo Xu's arrogance.
