433 Bold Ideas! Let the money fly in a crazy summer!
"Nightclub! Nightclub!"
"Eat! Eat!"
Seeing a group of friends making noises, Zhou Si would not be disappointed at this time!
“Train well first!
Get up high tonight!"
…
During the break in training, Zhou Si couldn't help but think about the impact this contract would have on the league.
Well……
It will have a rough impact on other teams. After all, no one will reach this clause for the time being or for a long time.
And even if someone achieves it, the person who fulfills this condition is definitely a strong person, and the team will never feel bad about giving such a big contract.
But when Zhou Si thought more deeply, if this clause could be passed, both labor and management must have their own considerations.
And the most likely thing is that except for the Trail Blazers, players and owners of other teams have reached a consensus:
The Blazers are so powerful, they must be restricted.
And this "Zhou Si Clause" is a means to restrict the Trail Blazers.
Lillard is 30% and Zhou Si is 35%. There is really not much space left for the Blazers next summer. Even if the Blazers owner is willing to pay the luxury tax, it will definitely impose great restrictions on the team's operations.
Zhou Si thought about it for a while and then threw the idea behind him.
After all, no one wants too much money!
But after thinking about it, Zhou Si suddenly had a bold idea.
You don't want us pioneers to rise, but you are signing up for various groups. How can such a good thing happen?
…
After celebrating with his friends, Zhou Si continued to spend time with them in the Demon God training camp.
Zhou Si is really addicted to low-post singles.
It's just that those friends who were shaken around by him didn't think so.
Please be a human being!
You are already so powerful and you continue to evolve, and you won’t let anyone play?
During the hard training of Zhou Si and others, NBA rumors started flying again. After all, the opening of the free market is not far away.
Zhou Si and the others also enjoyed various things while training hard.
Due to the skyrocketing salary cap next season, many teams have a lot more salary space. There are not a few who can directly take the maximum salary contract like the Trail Blazers, so this year's free agents are very popular.
Players are still roughly divided into three grades:
First gear: Durant, James, Howard
These three are all players who have the ability to change the history of the team. They are also the three most sought-after players in the free market at present. There is the most news about them!
Second gear: Wade, DeRozan, Conley, Drummond, Whiteside, Bill, Rondo, Al Horford, Al Jefferson, Noah, Pau Gasol, Nowitzki,
Duncan, Ginobili
They are all All-Star level players and are also the targets of many teams!
Third gear: Batum, Jeremy Lin, Deron Williams, Harrison Barnes, Walker, JR Smith, Luol Deng, Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Jeff Green, Chandler Parsons

Although these players are not as strong or as popular as the first two tiers of players, there are still offers from many teams.
If you can't grab big names, grabbing these potential stars or veterans is always better than nothing!
…
At 0:00 U.S. time, the door to the free market opens as scheduled.
Although it is still in the trade freeze period, the enthusiasm of various teams has not been frozen.
Moreover, due to Jordan's honesty and trustworthiness incident last season, the NBA trade freeze period was shortened from the previous 10 days to 5 days, and the management of each team also began crazy operations.
"Thunder and Durant meet again."
"We want to form the Big Four! Paul Griffin and Joe will attend Durant's meeting!"
"Be sincere! The Warriors' luxurious lineup meets Durant!"
"The Atlanta Hawks meet Howard, and Warcraft comes home!"
"DeRozan: Warcraft, we need you!"
"Be the leader! Jazz Youth Army welcomes Warcraft!"
Among the first-tier players, James is silent, while rumors about Durant and Warcraft are rife!
Many teams said they would not make any moves until Durant and Warcraft made a decision.
Still, big contracts are taking off.
The Trail Blazers took the lead and directly announced Lillard's five-year contract extension of 140 million.
Then came Zhou Si’s early contract extension.
112 million in 3 years!
Although Zhou Si’s total contract amount is not as large as Lillard’s, his annual salary is quite a lot!
Before everyone could react, the news ignited this crazy summer!
Let the money fly!
WOJ master broke the news: Raptors star DeRozan has decided to renew his contract with the team. According to reports, DeRozan will sign a five-year contract with the team worth US$139 million.
During the regular season last season, DeRozan started 78 games for the team, averaging 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game!
At the current No. 2 position, DeRozan's strength can be ranked in the top five. It is really not a loss to renew the contract with the Raptors with a maximum salary!
In addition to DeRozan's contract, two other contracts were also reached that day.
The Heat's Whiteside has 100 million in 4 years and the Hornets Batum has 120 million in 5 years.
In Zhou Si's view, these two maximum-salary contracts are subject to discussion.
Although Whiteside's data reached a double-double of 13.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.1 blocks, his upper limit is limited. Batum's 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists made fans think that Boss Joe is crazy!
Maybe it’s Batum’s nickname of “French Pippen” that makes Mr. Joe favor him?
For comparison, Jeremy Lin's four-year, $80 million contract with the Lakers is really a bargain.
You know, last season Jeremy Lin scored 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.5 rebounds. His contribution to the Lakers' almost reaching the playoffs is not small.
While eating melon, netizens expressed their emotions:
"Damn it, I should have known that I would have risked my life to learn basketball."
Not only them, NFL stars also complained about the NBA's sky-high contracts.
"The NBA contract makes me feel like I chose the wrong sport."
"I've never seen the NBA like this: Batum: 120 million, Whiteside: 100 million, DeRozan: 139 million. These contracts are crazy!"
You know, for comparison, Andrew Luck signed a 6-year, 140 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts, setting a new era in NFL history, and the price of this contract was less than DeRozan's 5-year, 139 million contract!
No wonder all the NFL stars are jealous!
This is not over yet. 31-year-old veteran Al Jefferson has reached a four-year, 80 million contract extension with the Hornets.
Considering that he was able to score 17.6 points and 8.7 rebounds with a 53% shooting rate last season, Joe's signing is much more reasonable than Batum's.
This is not over yet. Ilyasova, who averaged 10 points and 3 rebounds per game, received a three-year offer from the Bucks worth RMB 4,500. Solomon Hill, who averaged 4.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, received a three-year offer from the 76ers worth RMB 3,200, averaging 13.2 points per game.
Fournier, who averaged 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists, received a five-year offer of $8,500 from the Magic!
These are clearly premium contracts.
Netizens said they were shocked!
“I’m dumbfounded by the many contracts I’ve seen recently!”
"TT was in tears and was hacked for a year, but in the end he found out that he was really hacked!"
"I originally felt that the Demon God's contract was too big, but now I compare it to a smaller one!"
“In the free market, a player’s annual salary is tens of millions, right?”
Chapter completed!
