Chapter 866 [15 billion!Double 11 is coming early! 】

Yang Rui stayed in China for 20 days. In addition to participating in activities, he visited famous tourist attractions around the world.Wherever they go, they have senior tour guides and bodyguards to clear the way.

The Clippers finished the summer league, and the perimeter combination of Devin Booker, Joseph Young, and Norman Powell performed well and beat the Spurs to win the championship.

Joseph Young averaged a league-high 22.5 points and 2.5 assists per game. He made a sharp breakthrough and scored 26 points and 4 assists in the last battle, and was elected as the finals MVP.

Becky Harmon, a female disciple of Spurs coach Vicki and the league's only female coach, failed to lead the team to the championship.Well, in front of her, the old man can only be called Vicky, and Popo has no advantage.

The Spurs' Kyle Anderson averaged 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game and was named Summer League MVP.

Although he won the award, there are not many people who are optimistic about Anderson. From his nickname "The Essence of Human Creeping", we can see the reason why people are not optimistic about him.

Nicknamed "Slow-Mo" when he was nine years old, he was really slow, moving slowly and moving his body slowly, playing on the court as if he was not on the same channel as everyone else.

Duncan said last season: "I can run past Kyle in a race, I can run past him, that's too bad."

No matter how violent the fast break, once it gets to Anderson, it will definitely come down. Seeing him stealing the fast break, I thought he was going to call a timeout.Because of his high IQ, many people joked that God gave him his brain, but took his body.What's even more hilarious is that his slow motion often overwhelms defenders, slowing down with him, getting into his rhythm, and watching him score.

In summer league, pundits are most optimistic about the Clippers' Booker.

When Booker entered the draft, everyone thought he was just a catch-and-shoot player. Born on October 1996, 10, he was the youngest player in the NBA.

Surprisingly, Booker showed amazing basketball skills, probing for breakthroughs, Europaddles, throwing shots, turnaround shots, stepback jumpers, foul shots, catch-and-pull jumpers and many more……

He's omnipotent, a kaleidoscope of offense, looks like an old fritter who's played in the NBA for several years, and can make a 10-minute highlight of summer league goals.

Since it was Booker selected by Yang Ruigao, he attracted countless attention, and everyone was stunned.

Who said his template was Klay Thompson's?Looking at this play, the template is clearly Kobe!
When Kobe Bryant first entered the league, his skills were not so comprehensive. Booker was a person with a unique skill. Due to his poor wingspan, he practiced throwing hard in college. He was more confident when throwing his right hand. High, the opponent is difficult to block.

Booker also averaged 17.3 points per game. He played off the bench in every game. His performance was not stable enough, but he was full of fighting spirit.In addition to his technique, his shooting skills have been praised by everyone. 36 NBA rookies were interviewed and surveyed.In the selection of "Who is the best shooter", Booker was elected No.1.He made 40 percent of his 88-pointers and [-] percent of his free throws.

In the semifinal against Chinese player He Tianju's Pelicans, Booker played his best game, scoring 31 points and hitting five 5-pointers.

Norman Powell can also average 16 points per game, and he is still the best defensive player in the Clippers, and he is also favored by experts.

Walton let Powell play the starting No. 2 position, and Booker came off the bench, which is the greatest affirmation of his strength.If Booker doesn't practice defense well, he won't be too successful.

Yang Rui looked at the summer league materials, called Olshey and said, "If a team wants Joseph Young, just trade him out and get another draft pick. The first round is the best, and the second round can be a high pick. "

Although Joseph Yang scored many points, he mainly relied on breakthroughs, and his mid-range and long-range shots were inaccurate. The three-point shooting rate was only 21.7%, and the vacancy was uncertain.You can't arrange a tactical group of stars to open up and let such a second-round pick break through with the ball?
Olshey asked: "Boss, I sent you the list of free agents that I want to join. Have you read it? I think we have to make a decision as soon as possible."

"It doesn't matter, the core is certain, we only need substitute players and properly repair the lineup. Veterans who want a championship will definitely be willing to wait for us." Yang Rui laughed.

Usually players inspect the team, and the Clippers have the capital to inspect the players. They can wait for the opponent to take the initiative to vote. The veterans who ask for high salaries are not considered, and they are attracted by the championship.

On the first day of the free market, it can be seen how fierce the player's salary increase this year is. The NBA has signed 27 major orders, and the single-day turnover has soared to 15 billion US dollars.

The league signed a 9-year, $240 billion TV contract, so starting in 15, the league's total salary cap will begin to grow wildly.

The league's salary cap will total $7000 million next season, and the luxury tax threshold will be $8470 million, continuing to set a new all-time record.

In the 2016-2017 season, the salary cap is expected to become $8900 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is as high as $1.08 million, enough to sign another star.

What's even crazier is still to come. In the 2017-2018 season, the league's salary cap is likely to reach $1.08 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is as high as $1.27 million. By then, most teams will be paid more than [-] million dollars.

By next year, the league structure will be that there are more wolves and less meat, because there is still a minimum salary limit in the NBA. If the team's total salary cannot reach this minimum limit, then the extra money will be shared among the players.

The minimum salary for the 16-17 season is 90% of the salary cap, which is $8010 million. For team owners, it is better to recruit some players, even if they spend more money than usual, instead of giving players ratings for nothing. More is also at the expense, so almost all teams plan to spend crazy money this summer.

The Clippers have become an alternative. Yang Rui only intends to let the team's salary reach the salary cap, leaving enough salary space to renew the stars in the team next year.As long as the contract extension goes well, the Clippers' total salary will also be hundreds of millions in the 2016-17 season. The advantage is that the core lineup is perfectly preserved.

Some bad contracts soon appeared in the league. For example, point guard Goran Dragic signed a five-year, 5 million extension with the Heat, and actually signed Kawhi Leonard with the Spurs for the same price.

The Spurs let go of two players and freed up salary space. They signed LaMarcus Aldridge for 4 million in 8000 years and found a successor for Duncan. Therefore, many people are optimistic about the Spurs rushing to the championship next season.

The Nets re-signed Jimmy Butler for five years and $5 million, the same as Leonard.

Even a role player like Thaddeus Young can get a 4-year 5000 million contract with the Pacers, and the Raptors sign DeMar Carroll, a role player for the Eagles, for 4 years and 6000 million.

Anthony Davis signed a five-year, $5 million extension with the Pelicans.It is also a max salary. Compared with Davis, Curry's contract suddenly becomes much smaller.

In addition to contract renewals, there are also big-name players changing teams. Monta Ellis joined the Pacers for 4 million in 5000 years. The Mavericks have a good record and his worth has risen a bit.

Rajon Rondo joined the Cavaliers on a one-year, 1 million short contract, which is surprising.When the Celtics' Big Three were around, some people boasted that "Long does not vote" was the league's No. 1000 point guard. He was better than Paul. Once the Big Three left, no one wanted him.

The Cavaliers are the saddest. They can't attract big names in the free market. Rondo is only willing to sign a short-term contract in order to play beautiful data and strive to sign another long-term contract next year.

The Cavaliers' biggest effort was to dig up the Heat's blue-collar power forward Tristan Thompson at a premium of 5 million over five years. Their lineup next season is much worse than Yang Rui's previous life.
