Chapter 479

As a matter of fact, as early as before the draft conference, Su Feng had a crush on don yer Marshall, who will become a free agent this summer.

In Su Feng's original time and space, before the appearance of "Yue Tian Dang", as a softy pitcher, Marshall and Kobe together occupied the NBA regular season single game three-point record list for many years. (12 records in a single game)

standing 206 cm, he can be in position 3 or position 4 on the field, and is a forward swing man with rich functions.

In fact, in the past two years, with Su Feng's strong attack ability on the field getting stronger and stronger...

he also gradually found that, on the contrary, he was a tool man like old curry, who would be more helpful to him on the field.

Therefore, compared with Boozer who still needs to practice, in Su Feng's view, Marshall is the most suitable for the current raptors.

Because, in the outside line can do fixed-point pitcher, he can not only play to open space for himself....

in addition, he can swing with himself in the No. 3 and No. 4 position, for the Raptors in the tactical layout can play a role, is also far better than is still in the novice village Boozer.

And considering that Buckley will turn 40 next year...

at that time, the goods will not make any contribution except waving towels and water cups, and helping himself to deter opponents on the court...

the arrival of Marshall is even more critical for Su Feng.

Because in this year's seven fierce battles with Celtic, whenever the Raptors have Marshall's internal fort on the bench, Su Feng will not always fall into the situation of a dozen n.

As Big Ben basically has negative effects on the offensive side except pick and roll, Su Feng knows that he can't afford to lose next season when he plans to leave the Raptors in the summer of 2003.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Su Feng thought about how the Raptors would play if Carter and O'Neill would score three victories next season.

……

After the draft conference, July 1.

Marshall, who was still idle at home, almost thought he was hallucinating when he received a call from Su Feng himself.

You know...

this is the first person in the NBA!

At this time in 2002, the Internet is not as developed as it will be in the future, and social networks are not so convenient. Therefore, most players' private contact mainly relies on telephone and SMS.

In Marshall's opinion, shouldn't a big man like Su Feng be busy participating in all kinds of business activities at this time?

However, on the phone, when Marshall heard that Su Feng really wanted to cooperate with him in the competition...

Marshall always felt that the Su Feng he was calling at the moment must be a fake.

Because even with his own toes, Marshall knows that he is not in the position to ask Su Feng to call in person.

After su Feng made clear his intention, what surprised Marshall most was that Su Feng installed "monitoring" in his home.

"Sue, how do you know I'm going to work hard on three-point this summer?" On the phone, Marshall asked in surprise.

In Su Feng's previous life, influenced by the overall style of the 1990s, Marshall was not famous for his three-point goal in his early career.

In fact, it was not until the 0304 season, after joining the original raptors, that the outside players had to be able to shoot three points due to the cancellation of HC rules and the introduction of joint defense by the NBA at that time...

Marshall gradually realized that TEMAO's... He was a magic pitcher!

In this life, after the NBA canceled HC rules ahead of time, Su Feng believes that players like Marshall, who are good at planning for themselves, will definitely work hard on three-point shooting this summer to get a better contract.

Because compared with the era when people could easily get tens of millions of contracts in the future, in order to get a decent middle class, you have to show your differences on the court.

"Well, I see... But, Sue, I still don't understand why you know me so well?" On the phone, after listening to Su Feng's explanation, Marshall continued to ask suspiciously.

However, Su Feng was happy when he heard the words.

Because, as an encyclopedia of LeBron James in human form, how could su Feng forget Marshall, who helped our emperor to reach the finals for the first time?

Of course, to explain to Marshall, Su Feng certainly can't explain in this way.

Because in that case, Marshall would only think that he was a snake.

"Man, every player in this league, I know not only their style, but also their playing habits On the phone, Su Feng said to Marshall.And now...

Marshall can understand why the media often praise Su Feng for always making the right decisions on the court.

Is Jie...

the hard work of the NBA's first man on and off the court?

That day, thinking about Su Feng in Toronto, in addition to hard training, Marshall always thinks that Su Feng is too abnormal.

As we all know, genius is never the most terrible thing in this league.

Because...

there is no shortage of hardworking talents in this cruel alliance.

In Marshall's eyes, Su Feng, a genius with both business and hard work, is the real fear.

"Well, Sue, to be honest, as ESPN said, I don't think any player will refuse your invitation...

because it's the greatest honor in my life to work with a great player like you." At the end of the call, Marshall said to Su Feng.

After su Feng helped the Raptor uniform team to solve Marshall's position, the negotiation between Raptor general manager gruward and Marshall's agent was much simpler.

This summer, without saving for Chad, gruward also experienced the happiness of a rich man.

In the end, in just a few minutes, gruward negotiated a one-year contract worth $4.6 million with Marshall's agent over the phone.

Since this summer, Carter's contract extension has been included in raptors' salary cap, so gruward used Raptors' middle class exception when signing Marshall this time.

However, after getting addicted to the rich, gruward made a very rational call to the Raptors' boss, Chad.

Even in the 0203 season, the Raptors can still enjoy the benefits of signing a big contract and renewing Nash's contract in that year...

but...

seeing the Raptors' salary suddenly exceeding the luxury line...

for gruward, who is already used to poverty, he really has so much money to lose.

Look at the sky!

Check out the $70 million payroll!

If you cover up the name of the Toronto Raptors team, you might even think it's a salary bill for the Blazers and the Lakers.

"Gru... I've made a lot of money in the past few years because the Raptors won the championship, so it's time to spend it!

Anyway, next season, we must try to win the championship again before Sue leaves On the phone, after reconfirming Chad's attitude, gruward immediately stopped hesitating.

Because as the behind the scenes manager of the Raptors, even in the past few years, he has been living under the control of Su Feng and Davis, but...

to paraphrase the P Club Players' evaluation of Daming in the European situation, it is...

in the past few years, it's really very happy to be su Feng's dog.

You say, if you can win by lying down, why do you have to stand?

As a life winner who has won the NBA's best general manager twice in the past four years, for gruward, what he worries about now is how to restructure the Raptors after the end of next season.

Because in the past two years, with the rising salary cap of NBA, it's just like the case that Nash and Big Ben can be whored for more than 500 years...

in gruward's view, I'm afraid it's impossible in the future.

Moreover, even if Su Feng has indicated that he is willing to leave some legacy for the Raptors by signing first, gruward is also very clear...

this is just a step left for each other by Chad and Su Feng as adults.

Because at that time, let alone stay Su Feng...

it's impossible for the Raptors to stay, such as Chad's family background, the large sum of money whose contract is about to expire next season, and Nash who can also choose to jump out of the last year's contract.

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why Raptors can only let McGrady go for nothing is that even if they can use McGrady to sign first and then trade, they don't have the financial resources to solve the problem of McGrady signing first and then trading.

At the moment of 2002, how many NBA bosses can burn tens of millions of dollars a year like Paul Allen?

And Chad, willing to contribute tens of millions of dollars to the NBA this summer...

is still based on the premise that the Raptors have been making profits in the past few years and their market value has been rising.

However, if you let Chad invest like this every year...

I'm afraid it won't kill him.Wake up, this is tens of millions of dollars in 2002!

In the NBA, in recent years, the total wealth of most NBA owners is only over one billion.

Therefore, gruward knows that the reason why Chad is willing to be so generous this time is that he is reluctant to accept the Raptors in his heart.

However, as a mature capitalist, when it's time to bow to small money, you have to learn to bow to small money.

"So get ready for the final mania in Toronto!"

That day, looking at the list of raptors, gruward clenched his fist and thought silently.

……

New York, Olympic building, NBA headquarters.

Just as everyone is talking about the various arms races launched by various teams, stern has been deeply troubled recently.

Because in the past few years, it seems that the NBA has successfully walked out of the "post Jordan era"...

but if you study it carefully, you will find that no matter how busy it is in the playoffs, the last three teams are the only ones who can get to the end every year.

Celtics, raptors, Lakers.

As the "Royal three" of the NBA, in the past few years, these three teams have brought endless topics to people at the same time...

in fact, they are also making the NBA move towards the situation that Stern is most reluctant to see.

Moreover, due to the existence of Byrd clause, these three teams with excellent vision can still retain their star players in the form of super hat renewal....

therefore, even if there is a luxury tax balance....

stern found that as long as these three teams are willing to contribute to the NBA, he seems to have no choice but to take them No.

In this way...

as time goes on, stern knows that sooner or later, people will get tired of the rule of the "Royal three".

For stern, who is familiar with fans as a group of creatures who like the new and dislike the old...

he knows very well that the temporary monopoly will push the NBA to a new height in a short time, but if it can't stop the monopoly in time, it will be the decline of attention waiting for the NBA in the future.

After all, if the Celtics, the Lakers and the Raptors are always playing in the finals, how can the other 26 teams survive?

But...

what can we do to stop these visionary giants from getting the contract benefits of these rookies?

After studying the history of raptors, Celtics and the Lakers in recent years, stern found that...

the contract system of the first round show, which was originally designed to protect small and medium-sized teams, has now become a clause used by these giants to break the rules and maintain the strength of the lineup.

Take Celtic for example.

After they renewed their contracts with Marbury and Ray Allen, they were able to renew their contracts with Duncan because Duncan's rookie contract expired one year later than Marbury and Ray Allen's, and Duncan has Bird rights.

In this way...

as long as Celtic are willing to pay the luxury tax, in theory, they can even leave Artest and Randolph in the future.

Although stern is not like Su Feng as a jumper, in the past two years, with Ray Allen and Marbury have become All-Star players, and Artest and Randolph have also shown great potential...

therefore, in Stern's view, the Celtic's appearance is just too strong.

And so are the Raptors and the Lakers.

Because now in this Raptors team, there are five young All-Star players under the age of 26.

As for the Lakers...

because of Kidd's early child labor contract...

you may not believe it...

as long as old bass is willing to pay, they can also use OK and Kidd's trident to death.

No way. With the strength of the think tanks of the Lakers, raptors and Celtics in the past few years, stern knows that it is unrealistic for him to expect the uniform teams of other teams to catch up with the three teams.

Therefore, only a new clause can solve Stern's problems.

At this time, Stern's assistant mark also showed his smart side as Stern's successor.

"David... What you're worried about now is that these teams with too good vision will always have more strength than other teams when they can retain potential new players in their team by way of super cap renewal, right?" Looking at stern, Mark said.

Stern nodded.

After a pause, Mark said, "but David, even if these teams can renew their super hat contracts, they have to pay us luxury tax, don't they?"Smell speech, stern suddenly thought of something.

"You go on." Stern asked expectantly as he patted mark on the shoulder.

"Why don't we introduce a new clause to increase penalties for teams that have always triggered the luxury line in the past few years?" Mark said.

"You mean a new clause called" super luxury tax " Stern laughs.

"Yes, and such a clause will certainly be supported by most of the league's owners.

Because in the past two years, many bosses are complaining that their investment has increased, but their income is decreasing. " Mark added.

Wonderful!

Patting mark on the shoulder, at this moment, stern always felt that the most correct thing he had done in the past few years was to let mark be his successor.

Because as Mark said...

stern can be absolutely sure that most of the bosses in the League will support this clause.

Because in this way, even if there is a team that can stand a huge ticket for a while, they can't stand it for a lifetime.

In addition, in a sense, it can also let those teams who try to draw a pile of prizes by throwing away as much as possible to reduce their throwing away cycle.

Because after the introduction of the "super luxury tax" clause, in theory, it is the limit that a team can bear under the current salary cap when it comes to two top-notch rookies.

After all, even if you can pick five all stars in the draft like raptors and Celtics, you can only give others a wedding dress when you renew your contract in the future.

Moreover, the universe teams like Celtic, raptors and Los Angeles, in order to avoid huge tickets, must also choose to tear down their original lineup as soon as possible.

In this way, Stern's goal can be achieved.

That is to say, let the future of the alliance get more balanced development.

It's just that...

that is, Su Feng doesn't know the idea mark proposed to stern...

otherwise, he will doubt whether mark has been spirited recently.

Because in Su Feng's previous life, because of a series of adverse operations of logo man in Auckland, the warriors gathered a luxury lineup known as universe bravery at one time...

so the "super luxury tax" was originally introduced to limit the universe teams like warriors.

Under this clause, even the salary cap that has been inflated several times in the NBA in the future, it is impossible for a team to maintain the "universe team" base for many years in a row.

I have to say that...

fate is really wonderful.

Stern may not believe it.

As early as the summer of 2002, the Raptors are ready to disintegrate, and Su Feng, who is ready to lead the team after the end of next season...

"super luxury tax" will not only not sanction the Raptors, but also make su Feng welcome a new round of epic strengthening!

In addition, at that time...

even stern may have the illusion that Su Feng is his good brother and can always form a tacit understanding with him...
