I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 131 131. Stuck in a wave of "Arenas Clause" bugs!

At the press conference after the game, when the reporter asked Wizards coach Eddie Jordan what he thought of Souter's performance in this game, Eddie Jordan's face was almost full of helplessness.

"There is no doubt that Vulture is not only an excellent basketball player, but also a guy who can mobilize his teammates' desire to attack on the spiritual level."

"It's hard to believe that Vulture's performance on the court is just a first-year rookie. I don't think any rookie in NBA history can do better than Vulture."

"Even if the vulture's rookie season's personal data is not the best in history, but the vulture's role on the field has surpassed any rookie in the history of the league."

"Even Tim Duncan, who had spent four years in college before entering the league, did not perform better than the Vulture in his rookie season!"

I don't know if it's Eddie Jordan's illusion. Jordan always feels that when Suter is on the court, the strength and concentration of the Eagles on both ends of the offense and defense have a visible improvement to the naked eye.

There seems to be a kind of magic power in Suter's body. This kind of magic power can not only make Suter play the best personal performance, but also arouse the enthusiasm of other teammates around him, so that the entire Eagles are in a vigorous game state.

It feels like on a real battlefield, there are always people who carry the banner of attack and run ahead regardless of life and death to cheer up the morale of the teammates behind them, thus driving the spiritual momentum of the entire team. God means.

Hearing that Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan had such a high opinion of Souter, all the reporters in the audience immediately became interested and pointed their cameras at Eddie Jordan, because these words were veritable big news.

The follow-up only needs a little bit of tricks, and today's interview with Eddie Jordan can become an eye-catching explosive news.

"Shock!The head coach of a certain team commented that the Vulture is better than Michael Jordan! "

"The vulture's rookie season performance has surpassed Tim Duncan, and the number one power forward in history may soon usher in a change of owner! "

"Recognized as the strongest in history!Vulture has become the undefeated god of war in the mouth of his team coach! "

The existence of this kind of headline party is a lethal weapon that can push the number of page views to the top in this era.

Regardless of why Eddie Jordan has such a high evaluation of Suter, in short, Suter's explosive performance in his rookie season is indeed worthy of the hype of various media!

Regardless of whether Suter's performance in his rookie season is really better than Spurs star Tim Duncan, these will not change the fact that Suter is a monster rookie.

As long as Suter does not encounter devastating injuries in the next few seasons, more than 90% of media experts currently believe that Suter's future development will have a bright future.

Only a small number of people firmly believe that Suter's flying style is prone to injuries, so Suter's performance in the next few seasons may be very good, but in the end there is a high probability that he will encounter a player who is enough to destroy his career. Major injuries in his career, so he hastily ended his star career in a straight-line decline.

However, whether the injury will find Suter in the future is still unknown, but the Eagles will never give up such a monstrous existence, and the speed of progress shown by Suter in his rookie season also shocked everyone outside.

From the blue-collar insider who could only do fast breaks and dunks when he first came back from the Development League, he has gradually become an all-around power forward with no dead ends in the three-point line.

No one knows how Suter managed to complete multiple transformations in just half a season. Perhaps, this is the real genius on the court, and he uses his progress to spur other players to look up to him all the time!

On February 2, local time in the United States, the league announced the latest regular season MVP rankings and the best rookie list.

In the regular season MVP list released by the league, Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett still suppresses Tim Duncan, "Shark" O'Neal and Jason Kidd with a slight advantage, and ranks on the MVP list first place.

截至目前，本赛季的凯文-加内特不仅没有缺席过任何一场比赛，并且在个人数据方面还能轰下24.6分14.2篮板5.1助攻1.6抢断和2.3次封盖的豪华数据。

At the same time, the Timberwolves' record has always been ranked among the top three in the Western Conference, and they have once again surpassed the San Antonio Spurs and returned to the top position in the Western Conference.

Even if you look at the entire league, the record of the Timberwolves is second only to the Indiana Pacers, ranking second in the league.

And Kevin Garnett, with excellent personal data and team record, can always rank first in this season's MVP list, so it is no longer so incomprehensible.

There is no doubt that Kevin Garnett, who has been selected to the NBA All-NBA team for five consecutive years, has officially ushered in the peak of his career. This year, he will have a great chance to win the final MVP trophy and help his career honor to complete further metamorphosis.

In addition, the players ranked second to fifth on the MVP list are Tim Duncan, "Shark" O'Neal, Jason Kidd and Pacers' O'Neal.

Among these people, the team with the worst record is Jason Kidd's New Jersey Nets. The current Nets' winning percentage will exceed 55%.

Although the Nets can currently rank third in the East by virtue of the weak overall strength of the Eastern Conference, compared with the Pacers, Spurs and Lakers, the difficulty for the Nets to compete for the championship is no different from that of a bamboo basket. fetch water.

Especially after the team's starting power forward Kenyon Martin angrily beat the referee and was suspended by the league, the current life of the Nets is even worse.

If it weren't for Jason Kidd who was both a father and a mother and carried the team on his own, the Nets might have fallen out of the top four in the Eastern Conference.

It is precisely because of this that Jason Kidd, who averaged 15.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game this season, can rank fourth in the latest MVP rankings, second only to Kevin Garnett. Te, Tim Duncan, and Shaq O'Neal.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is basically hopeless for Kidd to beat the other three opponents in front of him to compete for the MVP of the regular season, but this ranking can be regarded as a small psychological comfort for Jason Kidd from the league. An affirmation of Sen Kidd's personal performance this season.

If there is no accident, this year's regular season MVP will most likely be born among Garnett, Duncan and O'Neal. As for who can have the last laugh, it depends on the performance of the trio in the second half of the season.

It is worth mentioning that in the latest MVP list, Suter's name has risen all the way to the seventh position in the league. The speed is as fast as a rocket, which caught everyone outside off guard.

Even if this position is basically a cannon fodder level player in the end, for a rookie who has entered the league for less than a season, this ranking is enough to make Suter proud, and it is also the league's most intuitive affirmation of Suter's rookie season.

On the other hand, the latest best rookie rankings, the name Suter is unsurprisingly leading the list.

LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and others behind him are far behind, almost using a crushing advantage to firmly secure the position of the best rookie.

As long as Suter didn't kill himself, no one is destined to shake the honor of Suter's best rookie this season.

As the only player selected for the All-Star Game in the [-] draft, the gap between Suter and others is completely visible to the naked eye.

Even if LeBron James averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal per game, it is also very dazzling, but when people subconsciously compare James and Suter, no one thinks that James’ performance in his rookie season will be better than Suter’s. good.

As of now, Suter is not only the leader in scoring, rebounding, blocks and dunks among all draft players in the [-] draft, Suter is also one of the few players who has been regarded as the cornerstone of the team by the team.

At the same time, Suter was the only rookie player in the [-] class who was almost double-teamed every game, which is unmatched even by LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.

After all, James and Anthony in this period are not unstoppable. Only in a few cases, the opponent will double-team them.

On the other hand, although Suter is also a rookie who has just entered the league, Suter's offensive skills and methods are as skilled as a veteran who has been in the league for more than ten years.

Unless the players responsible for defending Suter are Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and "Captain" Brand, the top insiders in the league, Suter will be double-teamed and focused by the opponent almost every game Targeting, it can be regarded as experiencing the treatment of superstars in advance.

What's interesting is that although Suter's current scoring average ranks first among all rookie players in the 20 session, Suter's ball possession rate on the court ranks second to last among all players who average more than [-] minutes per game , just a little more than the undrafted pick Haslem of the Heat.

This set of data also means that Suter almost used the least touch rate on the court to achieve the highest scoring efficiency, and he can still perform like a star without occupying the ball.

No coach would dislike players like Suter, especially in the transitional era in the early [-]s when the offensive end basically relied on stars to play singles with the ball or simply do pick-and-rolls.

A scoring machine like Suter who doesn't occupy the ball on the offensive end is definitely what any team with a perimeter core wants.

There is no doubt that when Suter's rookie contract expires, the league is bound to set off a frenzy of spending money that will stun everyone!

And Suter's value will also usher in such a terrifying skyrocketing, skyrocketing like the "General" Arenas, even more terrifying than the contract amount that Arenas received!
Since Suter was selected by the Eagles in the second round of the draft, what Suter signed with the Eagles was not a 2+2 guarantee contract for the first-round picks, but a two-year second-round short contract. The first year is fully guaranteed, and the second year is a team option.

That is to say, the team can choose to implement the next renewal direction of Suter's contract in the second year.

Although due to the reasons of "General" Arenas, the league is currently rectifying the rules for the renewal contract of the second-round pick.

However, on the normal historical track, the "Arenas Clause" that restricts the renewal of the salary after the expiration of the second-round pick contract was officially launched by the league in July of the summer of 2005.

And if Suter finishes executing the two-year rookie contract, the expiration time will also be in the summer of 2005, which is just ahead of the launch time of the Arenas clause. Is the launch time of the arenas clause.

In other words, even if Suter honestly implements his one-plus-one rookie contract, he can choose to sign the next unrestricted contract with any team before the Arenas clause comes out. Astronomical contracts.

The so-called unlimited means that the team can offer a fully guaranteed contract of any amount if the salary space allows.

If there is really a team with too much money to spend, even if a contract of 6500 million yuan for "X years" is offered to Suter, it will not violate the league rules. For six years and $[-] million, Suter has no reason to be worth less than Arenas.

It's a pity that the current overall salary cap of the league has not ushered in a skyrocketing rise, and the [-] million contract Suter can only think about in his dreams.

Not everyone can be like Michael Jordan, who once occupied 75% of the team's overall salary space, and not everyone can sign the "low-priced contract" like Pippen.

Knowing that the "Arenas Clause" is about to be launched, Suter has long thought about it. Suter, who has the foresight, must sign a new contract with the team before the league launches the "Arenas Clause".

Otherwise, once Suter signs the contract after the launch of the "Arenas Clause", at that time, Suter will lose tens of millions of dollars in salary!
After all, the core purpose of the Arenas clause is to restrict other teams from offering huge contracts at will, so as to steal away the second-round picks that the parent team has cultivated with great difficulty.

According to the rules of the Arenas clause, after the expiration of the second-round pick contract, the home team can choose to use a full middle class to match any offer made by other teams, and the salary received by the players in the first two years must not be high. Due to this mid-level ceiling, the remaining salary of the contract cannot be fully calculated until the third year.

The simplest example is when Rockets general manager Morey offered Jeremy Lin a three-year, $3 million invitation contract.

In the past three years, the salaries that Jeremy Lin can get are 500 million US dollars, 522.5 million US dollars, and 1490 million US dollars.

When Morey gave Jeremy Lin's contract, the Arenas clause already existed, and the Knicks only needed to use the full mid-level exception to match this contract.

However, after the team's evaluation, once Jeremy Lin's poison contract broke out, the Knicks would have to pay a luxury tax of US$3000 million in the third year, so in the end the Knicks had no choice but to give up.

The core purpose of the Arenas Clause is here. If it weren't for the existence of the Arenas Clause, Jeremy Lin would have been able to get a three-year contract with an average salary of more than 1000 million US dollars in the Rockets.

And because of the existence of the Arenas Clause, Jeremy Lin can only get a salary that does not exceed the full middle-class salary in the first two years, and he can't get the contract that originally belonged to him until the third year.

Calculated, because of the introduction of the Arenas clause, Jeremy Lin probably lost more than 2000 million in salary in the past three years.

Although if there is no Arenas clause, Morey, who has always liked to pick up junk, will most likely not provide Jeremy Lin with such a big contract.

But Jeremy Lin's contract is indeed reduced because of the limitations of the Arenas clause. This is the core purpose of the Arenas clause introduced by the league to protect the interests of the home team.

As an existence who now knows better than the league how to modify this rule, Suter will naturally not watch his next upcoming contract get cut.

In order to avoid the butterfly effect caused by himself, which caused the league to introduce the Arenas clause in advance to limit the contract salary of the second-round pick, Suter intends to discuss the contract renewal with the management in advance after the end of this season.

Since Suter's current contract is a one-plus-one contract, the second year is a team option.

Therefore, the Eagles have the right to terminate this contract in advance, choose to implement Sutter's team option for the second year, and then re-sign a new multi-year contract extension with Sutter.

Suter is 100% sure that the Eagles management will not refuse, and will even actively sit down and talk with Suter.

Because it is still the stage before the introduction of the Arenas clause. Although the management of each team is no longer as crazy as in the 90s, it is still important for "talented rookies" to take the initiative to jump out of the contract and renegotiate with the team for a multi-year contract extension. An operation in a win-win situation.

In particular, the success rate is generally low, and the second-round picks are even more out of control after the contract expires.

The advantage of doing this is that Suter can find the Eagles to confirm his next contract extension one year in advance of the introduction of the Arenas clause, so as to avoid the butterfly effect caused by himself and cause the subsequent salary to be greatly cut .

For the Eagles, the advantage of this operation is that they can sign a new contract with Suter in advance, buy a guarantee for themselves in advance, and firmly grasp the future of the team.

To avoid being looted by other teams after the expiration of Suter's rookie contract, just like the Warriors lost the "General" Arenas, they can only watch other teams raise their value time and time again, and then silently Take a look at the cap space and feel powerless.

After all, only Souter knows about the league's upcoming Arenas clause, and the Eagles' management doesn't know that the league will revise the rules for the renewal conditions of the second-round pick after one year.

Otherwise, even if the Eagles management drags it hard, it will inevitably delay the introduction of the Arenas clause.

Love is love, business is business, and the NBA is such a league full of money.

With Suter controlling the overall situation from the perspective of God, while the Eagles' management is blinded and can only be in a state of groping, Suter's "time difference" can at least save himself tens of millions of dollars in losses.

Whether to fight or not to fight this "time difference" involving tens of millions of dollars in the early [-]s is no longer a question of whether Suter's conscience will hurt, but a question of whether Suter's mind is flooded!
Seeing that his salary this season is only 37 US dollars, Suter feels that even if his brain is really flooded, he will definitely take the initiative to get into the oven and dry himself in an all-round way!

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the main thing is that Suter likes to dry...
