Chapter 349 The competition of various teams!
Now, many teams have expressed their interest in Chen Yu.

Although Bill Duffy also knew the reason to choose more, he still felt that Chen Yu was too calm.

This kind of up for sale is already a bit like a businessman.

But this kind of waiting, this approach really has an effect!
Because Nix directly gave Chen Yu a reply, and this really made a big news!

The Knicks said that they are willing to use a middle class special case to sign Chen Yu!

This is really a big breakthrough!
Logically speaking, Chen Yu's current salary, according to the rookie's salary, even the best one is 600 million, which is almost the price of the number one pick.

But even so, Chen Yu still feels at a loss. After all, what he can contribute is almost equivalent to a superstar. superior.

In fact, the benefits that many stars bring to the team are far higher than their salaries.

To put it simply, that is: a superstar can now earn about 2000 million a year, just because the salary cap is 2000 million.Otherwise, for players like Kobe James, the competitiveness their performance brings to the team and the commercial value they can bring to the team can even be worth almost [-] million!

So in this way, Chen Yu didn't feel that he had lost too much to say, but the market for a rookie was like this, and Chen Yue had no other way.

However, now the Knicks gave Chen Yu another idea, which was indeed a huge opportunity.

Because, now the NBA has very strict salary rules for first-round rookies, and generally they will not exceed the mid-level contract in the team.

This is done because the previous first-round rookies often refused to sign with the team, threatening a high contract.Moreover, some veteran players will feel resentment when they see unqualified rookies getting lucrative contracts.Therefore, the NBA began to implement strict first-round rookie salary regulations after 1994. Since 1995, the annual salary of first-round rookies has been strictly linked to their draft position...

Therefore, as long as a rookie who enters the first round of the NBA, his salary will be constant for four years, and generally it will not be high.On the contrary, because the second-round picks do not have such a salary limit, the team can directly use the salary space or the middle class exception to sign a player.

Because the second-round pick basically has no success rate, this is also a loophole that is not a loophole. Throughout the long history of the NBA, few players have enjoyed such a loophole.That is to say, Arenas broke through the rookie salary in the third year of his career, joined the Wizards as a free agent and got a salary of almost 1000 million US dollars, and the previous Marc Gasol was in a similar situation.

One or two second-round picks will not change the rules of the league, and Chen Yu's contract with the Lakers is only one year. There are no other restrictions on him, so the Arenas clause cannot be applied to Chen Yu. met on the body.In this way, Chen Yu was able to sign big contracts with other teams!
In fact, it wasn't that other teams didn't think of this before, but they were worried that as long as a team put forward such an idea, it would immediately cause the dominoes to collapse, and it might cause free bidding at that time!But now Knicks Xin Yiheng directly used this trick.

After the Knicks shot, teams quickly followed up. Both the Kings and the 76ers said that they could also use the middle class exception to sign Chen Yu.In this way, the Knicks are still increasing their bargaining chips, and even directly prepare to use the 1000 million valuable team salary space to sign Chen Yu.

On the contrary, the Lakers seemed to be dying down, not knowing what they were doing.

Until the past few days, a big news suddenly appeared: this season, as a big fish in the eyes of many teams and fans, Howard officially announced that he has accepted the olive branch of the Rockets, and has since left Los Angeles for Houston!Obviously, the various lobbying groups and olive branches formed by the Rockets from top to bottom are more attractive than Kobe's dry preaching.

Once Howard left, the Lakers also freed up a lot of salary space. At the same time, they also pardoned Artest. All the operations made people feel that the Lakers seemed to be holding back some big moves.

On the same day, Chen Yu received a call from Kobe, inviting Chen Yu to visit his house at night, and the management of the Lakers also invited Chen Yu to have a good talk tomorrow.In addition, Bill Duffy also called. After three phone calls, Chen Yu felt that things were about to change drastically.

Bill Duffy really brought Chen Yu a very important news:
The Lakers also shot!
And the Lakers made an extraordinary move this time, so they directly offered Chen Yu 3800 million for three years! (There are still some bugs here, but the protagonist can't get too low. Besides, the price is still negotiable.)
This salary made Chen Yu feel a little stunned... After all, no one would believe such a price for a second-year rookie and a second-round pick...

Chen Yu was also a little puzzled, and then said: "Bill, I don't think things are that easy. Indeed, Howard left the Lakers, but you have to know that now Kobe's salary is the first in the league, and Gasol also gets 2000 million. Adding other players, the Lakers' salary space can reach almost 7000 million, which should exceed the luxury line tax, and this will have to pay taxes, why can they still spend so much money?"

Bill Duffy: "Honestly, this is where I feel like I need to get to know you again, before I thought you were taking things for granted, but it turns out they're still fighting for you! But then again , who would give up such a player with unlimited potential?"

Then, Bill Duffy suddenly said to Chen Yu: "According to my speculation and the information I got, the most important thing is that if you sign the contract, the Lakers are likely to help you. At that time, they will deal with it." Steve Nash's contract!"

This sentence surprised Chen Yu, and then he had mixed feelings.

The Lakers would give up Nash for themselves, which made Chen Yu very happy, and felt that he was really valued by others... After all, it was Nash!But on the other hand, he is also very sorry and embarrassed, and always feels that he is very sorry for Nash...

But when you think about it, it's also a good thing.

The Lakers are ready to right themselves. Kobe may not come back this season. It is foreseeable that the Lakers will not be able to compete for the championship this season. It is better to send Nash to a team that can compete for the championship.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu's heart was surging, and he also felt his current influence.

It has actually reached this level!
PS: There may be bugs in this chapter, but please be tolerant.

Personally, I don't have a good understanding of the NBA's trading rules... But the point is not here, thank you for your support.
