Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 56
Before Stern called to ask about the situation in Philadelphia, Philadelphia signed Battelle back again...

Philadelphia and free agent Battelle reached a signing contract. Philadelphia signed Battelle for 7 years at a price of 1.016 million US dollars. The specific contract also confuses the people who eat melons.

Battelle's contract this year is 2500 million US dollars, and then it will be reduced by 20% year by year, the next year will be 2000 million US dollars, and the next year will be 1600 million US dollars...

The last year is the player option. Players can choose to jump out of the contract and re-sign with the home team, or they can test the free market and see how the contracts offered by each team are.

Daba, who was born in 75, is 21 years old this year, and will be 6 years old in 27 years. It is the golden age of an athlete. At that time, he will sign a long-term contract with a high salary and retire happily. He will definitely not earn less money.

Where is the operation of this contract show? Money, Battelle did not make less money, but because of the contract that is decreasing year by year, it means that Philadelphia still has enough salary space to renew Iverson with a maximum salary in the next season, including the renewal of Big Z. , Ma Jian these players.

You want to say that the bus is 2500 million this year, and Philadelphia's salary cannot explode?Philadelphia's salary space is already small. After signing the coach, it has just passed the luxury line. It only needs to go back and trade Bobby Hurley, and the space is still healthy.

This operation is quite reasonable. The owner of Philadelphia wants to offer a big contract to the second-round pick. You can't stop him from letting him go. There is no rule in the league that no maximum salary contract is allowed for the second-round pick.

Philly, which is reasonable and not in violation of the rules at all, after showing off the faces of the people who eat melons, Shi Shiran returned home with the bus of the newly promoted Mr. Billionaire. Stern looked at the operation of Philadelphia and everything was on the bright side. There's nothing wrong with that.

In January, as McGinnis led the team off the bench and his performance got better and better, Philadelphia contacted his old brothers who had done deals with him, and finally sent Bobby Hurley to the Trail Blazers for the price of a second-round pick. .

If nothing else, the thirteen members of Philadelphia's current roster are their lineup for the playoffs. There are veterans and potential rookies. There are not only the star Rich Mond who is at his peak, but also the bus, Ivor Sen, Ma Jian, a rookie whose debut is the pinnacle, their strength should not be underestimated.

Now turn around and ask the bricks to comment on the trade between the Kings and Philadelphia. The bricks will say that Philadelphia is simply robbing, taking a pick at the end of the first round, a fat man who is not self-disciplined, a swingman with a mediocre performance, and a ball. The power devourer, in exchange for the league's top shooting guard Rich Mond, and a powerful substitute insider like Collis Williams.

By the way, under the leadership of the "bad artifact" Stackhouse, the king marched forward all the way, and no one could stop him from heading for the No. [-] lottery.

The one who is losing the most right now is the Boston Celtics. The Cardinal has made no secret of his love for Duncan and is showing off without a bottom line. You can be as bad as you are. I am worse than you, as long as I lose enough times. , you can only watch me take Duncan home.

What surprised Meng Yifan was the Grizzlies' black and white bears. The two unexpectedly matched the rhythm. I really can't bear it.

There are some teams, which are quite interesting. Knowing that they can't make it to the playoffs, and they have to fight desperately, they refuse to play badly. They choose a high-ranked rookie to go home. Next year will still be a bastard.

As for the Spurs, they got off to a good start, but "Admiral" Robinson was injured, and it was difficult to lead the team far when he returned from injury. Reimbursed.

If you want to say that the Spurs are a good player, do they have the strength?Of course there are still some, but Popovich claimed to the outside world that his players are built around the Admiral's lineup, and they are all role players. Without the Admiral, the Spurs will not be able to play immediately, and everyone will lose.

Therefore, the Spurs' fight against the Celtics was a bloody battle, very fun, both sides were doing their best to play...

This no-limit game was quite interesting. Fat Toutuo Walker made crazy shots from the outside, and no one cared about him. In the end, Walker handed over a three-pointer with a 11-for-2 shooting percentage. Maybe it will be given to future generations. Selected as the top 75 in history.Well, after all, it created a precedent for big men to take brave shots from outside the three-point line, laying the foundation for the small ball era of later generations...

It is worth mentioning that Walker was 10 of 1 three-pointers before. At the last moment, the Spurs led by 1 point. They were about to succeed. When the Cardinal smiled happily, Walker flew out to receive the ball and made a three-pointer. Take a shot, kill the game, and punish your teammates on the spot.

Walker, who hit the lore goal, was like a victorious general, roaring loudly at the audience, and the audience on the sidelines applauded in cooperation. The fans in San Antonio are so enthusiastic, and they are not stingy with their applause for the winner.

After the game, the media wrote a report based on the shooting percentage of this game, "The defensive battle continued to hit the iron, the new star of the Green Army made a fatal blow, killed the game with a deadly three-pointer, turned the world around and won the respect of the opponent". It can be seen that it is a defensive battle rather than a water battle. It is estimated that the eyes are long and the nose is on.

This three-pointer was really life-threatening, and it almost took away the Cardinal from the sidelines.
Stern saw the cardinal on TV in just a few seconds, from joy to shock, and then to a desperate expression, he couldn't stop laughing, and Xiao Hua almost broke in next door to see if his immediate boss was Become crazy.

Due to Longley's continuous lack of games, Philadelphia also won a victory from the Bulls. Both Iverson and Battelle fought desperately with the Bulls. Battelle scored 34 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Iverson With 25 points, 3 steals and 9 assists, he led the team to defeat the Bulls and successfully climbed to the second place in the Eastern Conference.

After this game, the media with good intentions put the name of the No. [-] center in the Eastern Conference on the bus. Gorilla Ewing directly said that when Philadelphia visits New York next time, he will entertain these young guys from Philadelphia.

Although the Heat Mourning didn't say anything cruel, he said that he killed a dragon to vent his anger, and the Raptors were sadly urged. Raheem, a talented power forward, was directly locked up by the villain Mourning. He only scored 9 points in the game. Points and 6 rebounds, 3 of which were free throws...

If you want to say that the biggest impact is on the Washington Bullets, the good guy spent more than [-] million to retain Uncle Huo this offseason, but he didn't even make the playoffs. Even if the boss is stupid and has a lot of money, he can't stand doing this. ah.

The gossip claims that the owner of the Washington Bullets is going to clean up the team. It has been rebuilding for several years, and there is no hope for the playoffs. They won the No. [-] pick in Philadelphia and immediately rose to the top. The gap is not too obvious.

February 1997, 2 was another auspicious day. Unlike previous years, everyone celebrated the festival in the big courtyard bought by the bus in Philadelphia this year. There was a lively gathering. A few Chinese were in a foreign country, which was considered Rely on each other...

--segmentation--

Some people say that the bus contract is unreasonable, let me briefly explain

First of all, the contract has a total of 7 years, and the total value is 1.016 million US dollars, which is a little smaller than the contract signed by Huo Ershu

Secondly, the NBA salary regulations stipulate that the annual salary increase and decrease cannot exceed 20%, and the annual salary shrinks by 20%, which is reasonable.

In the end, he didn't pay all of the 2500 million a year. He would only pay the coach so much after playing a full season in a year. The previous games were all calculated based on the basic salary contract.

So how much can the bus actually get? If you add the playoffs and play a total of 100 games, the bus can earn 25 per game, right?

Then Christmas is on December 12th. Let’s look at Philadelphia’s schedule for the year. Before the 25th, there were exactly 25 games. The last game was on December 25st when Philadelphia played against the Bulls at home and lost 12 to 21. .

These 25 games, plus the Christmas game, 26 games are paid according to the original basic salary, then 25 multiplied by 26 equals 650, the bus can get this season, which is 2500 minus 650, 1850 million US dollars , which is the actual salary received.

In addition, the tax of Laomei is very strict, and the money received by the bus is estimated to be cut in half. After this calculation, the money that actually falls into the hands of the bus is estimated to be not even 1000 million meters.

Besides, Jordan makes more than 3000 million a year, and Ewing the gorilla makes more than 2000 million a year. This is completely traceable. The salary space of NBA teams in those days was about 3500 million. Philadelphia is far from the poor line. , Give the bus a big contract to fill in the poor ghost line, it's very embarrassing.
