Chapter 744
After the awards ceremony, the entire King’s team stayed in the Golden One Center to celebrate with more than 8000 spectators, and then took the bus to Su Yang’s private estate, opened champagne and danced frantically, until [-] o’clock in the morning. Finish.
After waking up, Cousins and others boarded Su Yang's plane to Los Angeles, adding Las Vegas to their itinerary.
Su Yang didn't go with him, but according to the plan, he took Jiang Ruolan to travel together for a full two weeks.
In the early morning of NO.18, the office officially resumed.
Arrive at the training base at eight o'clock and meet Hinkie directly.
Hinkie's three assistants also participated, and the five sat down in the conference room to first understand the potential movements of the players on the team.
"As of 24 o'clock tomorrow night, the players whose contracts expire include DeMarcus Cousins, Larry Nance Jr., Zhou Qi, Brock Lopez, Jeremy Grant, Jeff Green, Zach Lavin, Derrick Rose, Gary Payton Jr.…”
After Xin Ji finished speaking, Su Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Good guy, there are [-] players in a team, as many as nine of them have expired contracts, and all the key center position contracts have expired.
"Except for the expiring contract..."
Hinkie said with a smile: "And Brogdon is facing an early contract renewal, and our workload in the free market will be relatively large."
Su Yang nodded, indicating to continue.
"For Cousins, we have already decided to renew the contract. Grant and LaVine are going to provide qualification quotations first, and then we will deal with the signing and replacement. At present, I am negotiating with the Knicks and other teams. Green, Nance Jr., Rose, Lopez, Little Payton, the five of them have decided to test the free market, but they are willing to negotiate with us first. Of course, they all know that as long as we renew Cousins as promised, the remaining salary space will be very small, so they The probability of five remaining is low.
As for Zhou Qi, their entire team will follow your arrangement unconditionally, but they hope to have more playing time. "
Leaving five at once, plus signing and changing, it is seven.
The King's lineup will change drastically next season, comparable to a new team.
Su Yang thought silently, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. He originally thought that he could keep a few with the basic salary, but it is normal to think about it again. Green and others were willing to vote with the basic salary at the beginning. They just wanted to prove themselves again, and the king also relied on They succeeded in winning the championship.
The worst loss is Daluo, the first-round pick + Javent Green in exchange, only half a season, and still pay tens of millions of taxes.
But Da Luo had nothing to say, he was just fighting the fire.
It is a matter of affection to stay with the basic salary, and it is normal not to stay with the basic salary.
"Life has dreams, each is wonderful..."
Su Yang made a decision in a moment: "Bless them to sign a big contract in the free market, and thank them for their contribution."
There is no need to force it, the space is small, and it has to be used to sign two potential first-round picks, even if you want to pay taxes to force the signing.
Xinji nodded and took notes, not surprised by Su Yang's decision, and then asked: "How will Brogdon handle it?"
In order to select Brogdon in the second round, Su Yang promised to only sign a three-year contract. He did not sign a four-year rookie contract like Grant. , but also a large sum.
Su Yang thought for a while: "Let's talk about it next year. I hope he doesn't have any complaints and tell him the importance of space. I want to avoid tax next season, avoid three luxury taxes within five years, and then trigger the super luxury tax. At the end of the first season, we will talk about the increase of the salary cap, since his performance is not bad for a season, of course, it must be pointed out that the salary cap of this season failed to meet expectations."
The salary cap for the 17-18 season was originally expected to be $1.01 million, but it was later lowered by $900 million, which frustrated the Kings' plan. Because of Cousins' accidental injury, he hurriedly traded Daluo and paid $1000 million in luxury tax, which is quite embarrassing.
What's even more embarrassing is that Curry's big contract will take effect in the new season. Together with Antetokounmpo + Cousins, they will directly occupy the salary space of 9283 million US dollars, plus Covington's 1500 million, which will directly reach the soft cap of the salary cap. Taxes are just a bit off.
In addition to Tatum's rookie contract, Cousins has to be renewed at the end, otherwise it will not be enough to sign two potential first-round rookies.
Although the early contract renewal will only take effect after the end of the next season, Su Yang does not want to take too many unexpected risks.
Brogdon must be renewed, but not in advance.
"How about Zhou Qi?" Xin Ji asked again.
"Considering the market demand and the potential personnel demand for the center position, I must stay. I will talk to his team in person." Su Yang had a headache. He wanted to keep Zhou Qi without paying the luxury tax. The operation was extremely difficult. , only the basic salary can be given.
Shinji nodded in understanding.
"Then next season, we have identified players like Curry, Brogdon, Finney Smith, Covington, Tatum, Giannis, Cousins and Zhou Qi, plus two potential first-round picks. , a total of ten people, there are still five positions..."
"Priority for center and power forward..."
Su Yang is very worried about Cousins' recovery. Don't get injured again during the recovery period. In addition to the reminder of the time, you must prepare in advance to avoid the embarrassing situation of rushing to find someone again, let alone after four consecutive championships. The risk itself is great.
"You can also try to exchange Grant or LaVine for a center, or try to buy out market players first. For example, in recent days, it has been rumored that the Hornets will trade Howard to the Nets, and the Nets will most likely seek buyouts. We can fight for... "
While thinking about it, Su Yang thought of Howard, and planned to try to see if he could get the basic salary. Howard, the prodigal son who turned back, was very good.
But the biggest risk is Howard's health, especially his back injury, which must be handled with extreme care.
"Javier McGee is also a target that can be fought for. His priority can be higher than Howard..." In Su Yang's opinion, McGee is especially suitable for the Kings. With Antetokounmpo to help defend in the interior, it can completely offset McGee's defense Watch the football and not the people.
Hinkie wrote down the record.
Su Yang turned to check the power forward candidates in the free market.
"Ed Davis can give it a try, I guess the basic salary can't be negotiated..."
"Nemania Belica is very good, and the basic salary will definitely not be negotiated..."
"Nuoa Fenglai has a chance to negotiate a basic salary..."
"Forget it, the substitute for the power forward position should be found first in the draft..."
Continuously looking at the power forwards among several free agents, Su Yang feels numb. Without salary space, there is no right of first option. It is difficult for the Kings to collect 400 million space in the off-season. It can only be said that the NBA rules are set to prevent long-term hegemony by strong teams. list,
"Can the point guard substitute win for Rajon Rondo?" Hinkie asked along the way, seeming particularly optimistic about Rondo.
Su Yang couldn't help but want to refuse. It's not that Rondo's shooting ability is low, but Rondo likes the whole team to run tactics according to his command. Although it will change depending on the team, I don't want to have potential troubles. Come up with the embarrassment of Carlisle.
But when he thought that the king had no room and Rondo had a probability of accepting the basic salary offer, Su Yang immediately nodded in agreement.
There is no way, one point of space has stumped the head coach of the four consecutive champions, the rules are there, except for basketball reasons, they must be followed.
Hinkie also proposed to talk to Jamal Crawford, but Su Yang didn't veto it, it was just a talk anyway.
During the discussion, the time came to 09:30, and there was a break.
Su Yang turned on his mobile phone to browse the news, and suddenly found out that WOJ broke the news, saying that Paul had given up on renewing his contract with the Rockets, and locked his next home between the Spurs and the Lakers, and the Spurs are currently leading the way. If it is achieved, it will be another Big Three team.
"Come on, the Big Three are interesting..."
Thanks to the veteran 'MR Resentment' for the reward!
