Chapter 266 Arenas Clause
Verus didn't have much to say about the NBA's schedule. The Warriors who had just played the Suns' away game and returned to the home court faced the Suns who came to challenge, but this time it was the Warriors' home game.

The coach of the Suns, Skiles, probably won’t be replaced, and he is not happy to think of any strange tactics. He will be dismissed soon, and Frank Johnson will replace him. There are not many secrets in the nba. The coach and the general manager knew about it long ago.

The Suns are still a big and four small lineup, Jack Chakalidis center, Penny Anfernee Hardaway and the lone wolf Marbury partnered at the back line, Sean Marion and Bo Outlaw formed a striker combination.

Lenny will not play the regular season with the same lineup. He always strives for every opportunity to practice formation and play style for the playoffs. Naturally, he will not rule out the same starting lineup.

It will be many years before the official NBA league will impose heavy penalties on the Spurs for rotating the main players without reason. However, the so-called heavy penalties are nothing more than fines.

So at this time, the Golden State Warriors of Verus can rotate players unscrupulously and rest without worrying about unnecessary troubles.

In the final analysis, the Spurs did their own thing. The nationally broadcasted popular and highly recommended games, they dared to let Duncan Parker Ginobili and other four main players take turns. They didn’t pay attention to the NBA officials and fans at all. You won’t be punished for this. , Who else can be fined, and was finally fined by the NBA major league for 25 US dollars.

Seriously, the owner of the Spurs and the club really don't care about this amount of money, and the owner of any NBA team won't care. As long as the Spurs show a little face and restrain themselves a little on occasions like live broadcasts across the country, it won't be a big deal. Get to the point of tearing the skin.

The most bizarre thing is that there are other fans who sued the Spurs in court for alleged fraud, which is really dumbfounding, but in the end the court did not accept it.

If Verus dies, he will not rest Yao Ming at the same time at home. This will make the fans in San Francisco very dissatisfied. It is impossible to rest the main players for the sake of the record when it comes to the focus of the national live broadcast.

But in the final analysis, there is no absolute distinction between the main force and the substitute in the Warriors. Except for Yao Ming and McGrady's unshakable position, Hill's playing time will be relatively much less. Verus is very worried that he will be injured again, and another season will be held all at once. Get reimbursed.

For other Warriors players, basically whoever is in good training and game condition will play for a while longer. Coach Lenny will not let a certain player sit on the bench for a long time. After all, there is no absolute waste in the Warriors. Drinking fountains There are staff in charge, and there is no need to waste stars with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands or millions to take care of them.

The starting center for the Warriors is still No. 11 Yao Ming. In history, he also played 10 games as a substitute in the Rockets before starting his career as a permanent starter in the NBA. Except for the 10 regular season games in his first year as a rookie, Yao Ming never played again. As a substitute once, as long as he can still play, he must be the starting center.

Power forward Lenny used the No. 15 Spaniard Pau Gasol. Gasol has been faster and more stable than Yao Ming in history. He is the kind of player who is at the peak when he debuts. Averaged 17.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.

Back then, if Gasol hadn't airborne the Los Angeles Lakers, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for Comrade Chatter to win the NBA championship on his own.

There is no player in history who can win the championship by himself. Even the boss of Jordan Joe has Pippen Cole, Harper, Longley, Rodman, Cobra Grant, and a bunch of powerful teammates.

The contracts of the rookies in Verus' hands are extremely cheap. Even if Yao Minggui is the No. 300 pick in the NBA's new draft, his annual salary is only more than [-] million US dollars. This is stipulated by the league, and the team has no room for manipulation.

Rookies like Randolph Gasol Battier only have an annual salary of 200 million U.S. dollars, and Arenas, who is not a first-round pick, has a contract annual salary of only 33 U.S. dollars. Defected from the Warriors and joined the Washington Wizards, who are willing to pay a lot of money.

The Wizards gave the third-year rookie Arenas an annual salary of 854 million U.S. dollars, and then increased it to 1600 million U.S. dollars every year. Compared with the ultra-low-priced cabbage contract he took in the Warriors, it is really one in the sky and one in the ground.

So later the NBA League introduced the famous Gilbert Arenas clause, which is suitable for all restricted free agents who have stayed in the NBA for 1-2 years. The first-year salary of the invitation contract (Offer Sheet) must not exceed the middle class Clause (the original team of the second-round rookie can match any contract as long as there is a middle-class exception), which limits the first-year salary in this way to ensure that the team with the first player can use the Bird clause, or the middle-class The terms provide players with corresponding contracts.

Historically, as the second overall pick in the second round in 2001, after Arenas' contract expired in 2003, the parent team, the Golden State Warriors, had an early bird. According to regulations, he could only offer a starting salary of 490W (104.5% of the middle class). contract.

The Washington Wizards had already fallen in love with the "wizard" of the general, so they decisively offered a big contract with a starting salary of 850 million, which made the Warriors unable to match and successfully won the love.

In order to prevent the recurrence of similar tragedies and protect the rights and interests of those teams that have worked hard to cultivate rookies and succeed, the league added the above-mentioned Arenas clause to the 2005 version of the regulations.In this way, no matter how people open the invitation contract, the home team can use the early bird or middle class match to retain players.

Verus will not wait for Arenas to be seduced away before going to appeal to the league officials and come up with an Arenas clause that will benefit other teams. He signed a second-round contract with Arenas early on. There is a guaranteed contract with a 2+1 guarantee for the first year of the show, and the option for the last year must be in the hands of the Warriors Club.

Moreover, Verus has been communicating with the NBA President Assistant Silva by email, suggesting that the league officially introduce a series of measures to protect the rights and interests of players and teams. It is estimated that before Arenas' contract expires, the NBA official will definitely give a clear statement. Plans to protect the interests of players and teams in all aspects.

After all, a team has been trained for two years, and it is hard to train a good player. As a result, the contract amount cannot be matched, resulting in the loss of excellent players. This is an unacceptable thing for every nba club owner.

Verus feels that it is not only necessary to retain people from the contract, but also to retain the hearts of players from all aspects of economic life. Even if you are a star player and other teams pay millions or even tens of millions to seduce you in a few years, I will The Golden State Warriors have allowed you to earn this amount in the past few years, and there will be very few players who want to change jobs when they think about it.

And when it comes to the contract year, Verus will definitely give Arenas a choice, either to renew the contract, or to be replaced, or to sit on the drinking fountain for a year. It is estimated that no player dares to try this.

Anyway, Verus will definitely not lose the ownership of a star in vain. There are really not many NBA stars with trade value.
