Chapter 1215 (1/2)

The big fish in the free agent market has basically been fished out. After the madness in early July, the situation of the whole off-season has become calm.

Although there are still several signings every day, the people who complete the contracts are all those who are not bothered.

Just then, an incredible piece of news suddenly appeared.

”Dwight Howard joined the Memphis Grizzlies on a non guaranteed contract of just $2.6 million a year! Former Super Center, will assist link

This news broke the calm of summer, and once again caused a heated discussion.

Of course, Howard has lost his influence and he is no longer a giant player. He joined the Grizzlies, it's not a big staff change.

The reason why this event has attracted so much attention is that the signing of the contract is so strange!

First of all, 2.6 million a year, which is the price of cabbage for Howard, a former Super Center. What's more, it's still an era of skyrocketing wage caps.

Howard rookie season when the annual salary is 4.18 million, last season in the wizard, has fallen down the altar of Howard have taken more than 5 million annual salary.

Now, just a year apart, he's only getting less than 3 million!

Most importantly, Howard's $2.6 million is still a ”summer contract.”.

The so-called summer contract is that Howard's contract does not have any money guaranteed. From the start of the regular season, Howard is to ”days” as the unit of settlement wages.

That is to say, if the Grizzlies let Howard go the next day, he won't get all his wages the next day and beyond.

Such a contract, let Grizzlies occupy the absolute initiative.

If Howard gets injured or disrupts the dressing room or doesn't perform well, he's ready to leave.

If he's given up before the regular season, he won't get a cent.

And the Grizzlies will have to cut Howard at almost no cost.

Normally, a team cuts off a player and continues to pay the rest of his salary.

But if Howard's non guaranteed contract is cut, grizzlies will only pay him $6000.

It's not 60 million, it's not 60 million, it's 6000.

It's a lot of $6000, but it's a negligible amount for professional players. After all, link's salary in the development alliance was not in the thousands.

Howard's contract, frankly speaking, is no different from a ten day short contract, or even worse.

After all, the NBA requires a team to sign a maximum of two 10 day contracts with a player. If you want to sign a contract after two times, it must be a long-term guarantee contract.

That's how link stayed with Grizzlies.

Howard's, however, may be in a non guaranteed state throughout the season, the whole season may be unemployed at any time.

It's hard to imagine that this kind of contract for the drop - off and non - draft players would be used by the former super centers.

What's more, it's hard to imagine that Howard accepted such a harsh contract!

And on social media, Howard said he was very happy to get this opportunity and would cherish it.

I don't know. I thought Grizzlies and Howard signed 20 million you.

In addition to the price of this contract is very strange, Howard joined the Grizzlies itself is a strange thing.

It's no secret that link and Howard have a bad relationship.

Although Howard has disappeared in recent years, he has not been in conflict with link for a long time.

But in the Rockets, Howard and linkner were enemies.

Each time both sides meet, light is full of rubbish words, heavy is mutual iron elbow wait on.

However, link has never been a ”good man” and has not been so tolerant.

In such a context, the Grizzlies even signed Howard, which is just as incredible as making Durant and link brothers!

this strange signing, let many fans have to make complaints about it.
