After officially breaking with Bulls boss Leinsdorf, Jordan, who only has option C, is now completely overwhelmed.

Although the development of different historical lines will lead to different results, similar to Su Feng's previous life, Jordan, who wants to choose to continue in this life, is currently facing a problem that he cannot avoid.

That is, according to the labor-management agreement currently released, there are actually not many next players who can sign Jordan and satisfy Jordan without renewing the contract with the Bulls.

Jordan's troubles stem from the maximum salary system introduced by the NBA in this labor-management negotiation.

Under the maximum salary system, the maximum salary Jordan can get in the new season is related to his years of playing in the NBA and his salary cap next season.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for Jordan to get a salary of 30 million a year in the next season.

Moreover, according to the rules, Jordan, who does not renew his contract with his parent team, will not only not get a theoretical maximum salary, but also will lose his right to bird.

This also means that unless the team has sufficient salary space, those teams who like Jordan will not even be able to sign Jordan.

As for choosing to cut salary?

In Jordan's opinion, that was absolutely impossible.

Because unlike the future return of the Wizards to capture the Wizards, Jordan has not yet regressed to the level of Wizards Joe, and secondly, regardless of whether he renews his contract with the Bulls, he is recognized as the number one in the league.

Therefore, the first person in the league chose to cut salary. In Jordan's opinion, even if he got it, he would not be able to do it even if he lost his mind.

So, after noticing Su Feng's joke

Don't say it, Jordan really thinks the Raptors are a good place to go.

First of all, Jordan, who is unwilling to cut his salary, can theoretically be signed by the Raptors.

because

You may not believe it if you say it.

After the shutdown seal was lifted and the team's uniform team began to resume work, the Raptors general manager Gruward's most worried thing now is:

These rookie contracts from the Raptors

It cannot meet the new NBA regulations!

According to the new rules introduced by the NBA, not only will you be fined if you exceed the luxury line, but you will also be fined if your team's total salary does not reach 80% of the salary cap.

And it is obvious that the Raptors are now more than 108,000 miles away from this standard deviation?

Gruward felt like he was a slut.

Because other general managers are trying to save money, but because he saves too much, he now has to find a way to spend money.

Moreover, don't look at this Raptor from a time-travel perspective.

Because whether it is McGrady, Carter or Nash, they are all "weak chickens" who have not yet exchanged their talents.

To put it bluntly, the only card of this Raptors is Su Feng.

And this is exactly what Jordan thinks is a big deal about the Raptors.

After all, if the Raptors don’t have anyone or have anyone, then Jordan, who is unwilling to join in but wants to win the championship, wouldn’t be able to consider them.

At the Chicago Heroes Conference, Jordan, who felt Su Feng's terrible progress speed, did not recognize Su Feng's strength, then he would not even have to worry about it now.

In Jordan's opinion, although Su Feng is a thorn in his heart, if he can really cooperate with Su Feng, it would be a wise choice for him who has not returned the double commerce to God and is still an "old hooligan".

Because in the later stages of his career, the more he knew that basketball was played by five people, the more Jordan became greedy for helpers like Su Feng and Pippen.

So, although Su Feng said a joke in an interview, Jordan really seriously considered the choice of the Raptors.

Look, you see, as a new team, when you go to the Raptors by yourself, not only will you not be considered as a group group like you go to the Knicks and the Trail Blazers, but it is for money.

Instead, people think that they just choose to continue for their basketball dreams.

As long as the Raptors have Su Feng join, even if they cannot become the championship team in a short period of time, as long as they can activate their big network skills and recruit two helpers, this Raptors still have great hope in Jordan's opinion.

You know, I feel that I can still beat him, but if I want to win another championship, I will tell Leinsdorf:

Today you ignore me, and tomorrow I will make you unable to reach it.

It's a pity

After seriously thinking about the Raptors, Jordan finally gave up.

because

When the Raptors were unable to become the championship team in a short period of time, Su Feng's contract that was about to expire next season completely wiped out the idea of ​​Jordan, who wanted to win another championship and retire.

According to Falke's analysis, Jordan knew that it was impossible for the Raptors to give him a contract that was too long.

Because they must leave enough salary space to ensure that they renew their contract with Su Feng, who is only 20 years old, after the end of next season.

After all, Jordan is no longer a god, but his 36-year-old

Even if the IQ of the Raptors uniform group is so low that it is impossible to make the decision to choose Jordan and give up Su Feng.

Therefore, he cannot win the championship in the short term, and the Raptors boss is still poor, so although he is very greedy for Su Feng, Jordan finally chose to give up the Raptors option.

"Oh, it's a pity that if the Raptors can have some courage, as long as I'm given three years, I will definitely win the championship again."

On that day, Jordan said sadly.

...

And just when Jordan was sad

On January 20, with the finalization of the NBA labor and capital agreement, Stern has officially announced that the 98/99 season will restart on February 5.

At the same time, the NBA free agent market will also reopen.

On the 20th, according to the provisions of the new labor-management agreement, the Raptors and Carter officially signed the contract.

Starting from the 98/99 season, the rookies' contracts will go from three-year to four-year.

In the future, the salary of rookies will be formulated according to the salary cap standards and their draft picks.

From the perspective of team building, a four-year rookie contract will be more conducive to the operation and construction of small and medium-sized teams.

But from the perspective of players, the operating space for future rookies is not as large as that of three-year players like Su Feng and others.

In the new season, Carter, who will wear the No. 15 jersey for the Raptors, is full of expectations for the Raptors at the signing ceremony.

This summer, Carter, who has been practicing hard with Su Feng, felt that people underestimated this Raptor after listening to Su Feng’s experience at the Chicago Heroes Conference.

only

No matter how Carter expresses his opinion, in the eyes of reporters and fans, he and Su Feng are too naive.

Wake up, Vince, we were at the bottom last season. To be realistic, you are just a rookie!

Alas, I have to say that what Carter said was the truth, but why is no one willing to believe it?

It is worth mentioning that on the 20th, the Raptors announced that they had signed a contract with Daben as soon as the free agent market was lifted.

5 years and 27.5 million US dollars. Judging from the salary standard at this moment, the contract issued by the Raptors this time is indeed full of sincerity.

You know, in Su Feng's previous life, Da Ben had to wait 3 years to get such a contract.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, he would not enjoy the maximum salary in his previous life until after his peak.

But in this life, after the contract with the Raptors is over, it will become a free agent in the summer of 2003, and you will definitely be able to sign a super contract worth over 100 million yuan.

After signing with Daben, although Raptors general manager Gruward didn't say it on the surface, he still felt a little painful in his heart.

After all, if you look at this contract from Daben without a time travel perspective, it is a contract that only first-line insiders can get.

However, Gruward could not have thought that this contract of Daben, after two seasons, as the NBA salary cap expands, it will become a child labor contract.

On the 20th, in addition to signing a contract with Carter Big Ben, Gruward also officially signed the "old child laborer" Dell Curry with a four-year, $8.8 million contract.

This contract is similar to the contract signed by Curry and the Raptors in Su Feng's previous life. The only difference is that three years have become four years.

Of course, unlike Su Feng's previous life, he chose Curry, who came to Toronto for the tuition fee of his two sons. This life also expanded at the signing ceremony.

"We will definitely be able to enter the playoffs under Su's leadership in the new season, and we have this strength."

To be honest, the media and fans feel that the Raptors are simply poisonous.

Because since Su Feng’s bold words last year, the players in this team are now growing more and more.

Wake up, Dell, you are no longer the super sixth person of the Hornets back then. You are just an old veteran now!

Rest the playoffs?

Why don't you talk about the championship?

Um

Um!

Sure enough, human imagination is limited.

Because they don't know how crazy the reality is.

...

Philadelphia, Larry Brown, who was originally reviewing the 76ers luxury lineup in the new season, was stupid.
