Chapter 385

In the end, Kirilenko's transfer fee was negotiated

Half a million dollars, not much, but more than the official 300, 000 dollars. Kirilenko must have made up the extra.

It's only 200 thousand dollars. It's nothing for Kirilenko. After all, as a first round show, he has a standard contract guarantee.

Since last season, rookie contracts have been restructured, from three years to four.

This is also the result of negotiation through the labor agreement. With one year's rookie contract, each team in the league can pay a lot of new salaries less, which is also considered as Stern's benefits for the owners of each team.

It may sound strange. How can bosses pay less for one more year's contract? Shouldn't we pay more

That's going to take into account the salaries of talented players like Kobe Bryant and Iverson. They can start to sign the top salary after three years. Now, brand, who entered the league this year, has to play four years to sign the top salary

A year's minimum top salary naturally saves a lot of money.

As for those players with poor quality, the fourth year contract is generally the team option. If the team is not satisfied with their strength, they can completely execute the team option and dismiss the new player.

For example, Quincy Lewis, who was selected in the 19th place in this year, is such a bad guy. After three years of rookie contract, the team carried out the team option in the last year. He could not get the salary of rookie contract in the fourth year, so he could only join other teams with a base salary of 200000

……

Now Kirilenko's rookie contract is about 4.5 million dollars in four years, a transfer fee of only 200000 dollars, which he can easily get out.

All the way to the club, the Russian Basketball Association is different from the Chinese Basketball Association, and they have no right to prevent Kirilenko from playing in the NBA.

After a few years, Yao Ming is not so lucky

In fact, not only the Shanghai Men's basketball team does not release people, but also the basketball association does not release people. Finally, we talked about the Shanghai Men's basketball team, and the Basketball Association took a lot of trouble.

Stern also played an important role in the negotiation and promised the basketball association a series of ridiculous conditions today

……

Richard was quite satisfied with the negotiation in Kirilenko.

Compared with Ginobili, it must have taken a lot of trouble, but the result is satisfactory

At first, Richard estimated that the other side would charge at least one million dollars for the transfer fee, but now it's only half a million dollars.

……

After returning to the United States, Richard directly convened his own coaching team to discuss the new season's lineup.

"Guys, out of five of our current starting lineup, two left. Let's talk about how to arrange the starting lineup for the next season."

Richard asked the three assistants.

"Lee, I think it's time for Nowitzki to try his starting position. His talent is quite good, especially in the offensive side. If he starts, I think he can make up for the loss of the offensive side strength brought by Rashid's departure!" Said Zhang Weiping.

But his proposal was immediately opposed by Stevens and Dave Coons.

"I don't think so. Nowitzki's defense is still a little weak now. If we put it into the starting line-up, it will make our starting line-up defensive end short board..."

"I suggest that Nowitzki can be the first substitute for the striker position!"

Stevens and Coons opened their mouths and said what they thought.

"Do other players have to defend better than Nowitzki? I'm afraid not... "

Zhang Weiping still thinks it's more reliable for Nowitzki to start as a small forward.

Richard waved. "Let me talk about my plan first..."

Let these three people continue to discuss, in fact, nothing can be discussed, after all, they are not as clear about the characteristics of these players as Richard.

"I'm going to replace Rashid with Kirilenko!" Said Richard with a smile.

Three people a Zheng, Kirilenko?!

The new foreigner this year? How could he replace Rashid?!

The three faces are full of doubts. It's Richard's words, some of which are too inconceivable.

"This player's defensive strength, a little training, will be stronger than Rashid, but the offensive end is not as good as Rashid!"

"Boss, but in this way our starting lineup's offensive firepower will drop too much..."

"Rashid and Kobe are gone. Now we have only one Robinson left on the outside..."

"If Kirilenko is not a good attacking player to start, it's difficult for us to crush the opponent on the offensive side!"

Said Stevens, frowning.

Richard nodded. Stevens was right

"Well, let Kirilenko be the chief internal substitute, and let Nowitzki play the starting small forward. At present, let's make a tentative decision. After the regular season starts, see the effect, and then adjust!" Richard clapped.The three assistants nodded their heads, which is the only way

The three positions in the front court almost have preliminary arrangement at present, and then there is the most headache in the back court.

Four people are very headache, mainly is Kobe's departure, for the backcourt strength of the Blazers has a huge impact.

"Li, what's wrong with our starting point guard? It seems that we can only use Jackson to top it!"

Kearns can't help but say that his pioneer team is short of point guard. Now Kobe Bryant has left again. The only one who can play point guard is wusheng Jackson.

If he came to play point guard, to be honest, the effect would be far less than Kobe Bryant's. If nothing else, his ability to control the ball would not be better than Kobe Bryant's.

Wusheng Jackson is indeed all-around, but compared with Kobe, his all-around can not be said to be all-around, almost all-round by Kobe.

If the trailblazers don't trade, then the starting lineup of trailblazers next season will be xiao'ao, Big Ben, driver, Robinson and wusheng!

Of course, Ginobili also has some organizational ability. If he plays the starting point guard instead of wusheng, he may not be able to

But at least for the moment, Richard doesn't have this idea. Ginobili still needs to accumulate some experience. At least for the first half of this season, Richard is unlikely to let Ginobili start.

He will play as the backcourt core of the second team, connecting the attack of the team.

The starting line-up is important, but the second line-up is also important. Many times, a team wins in the second line-up.

The Spurs used Ginobili in the same way, putting him on the bench

……

When wusheng plays the starting point guard, Richard doesn't feel very reliable

He's more likely to lose when he's in possession, which prevents him from becoming a real point guard.

Wusheng's passing ability is good, the overall situation view and passing vision are also good, but the ball control ability is not good.

In addition, the following season is the contract year of wusheng. Richard actually has the idea of trading wusheng with other teams.

Rashid, Bowen and Kobe Bryant, three people, this time are free, Richard is naturally feeling a loss.

But there's no way. All three are free players. With the problem of salary space, Richard can't use them to sign first and then change

At present, Richard feels that it's more cost-effective to trade wusheng. Taking advantage of the small wusheng contract, he uses it to trade some new people.

Otherwise, when the wusheng contract expires next year, the developers still have no salary space, and they can only let wusheng go for nothing

What a pity!

"Who of you is familiar with buchcat? I'm going to take Jackson and make a deal with him... " Richard said to the three.

Three people in a fog, Butch Carter?! Isn't that the Raptor coach

Take wusheng to trade with Raptors? Is it Vince Carter who wants to replace the Raptors?!

It is possible that Carter averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists last season, with a hit rate of 45% and a three-point hit rate of less than 30%

data can be quite awesome for a new person.

But it doesn't mean wusheng can't replace Carter. In fact, wusheng's performance last season is not much worse than Carter's.

With an average of 11 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, 47% of them hit outside and 36% of them hit three points, wusheng is given sufficient shooting power, and will definitely get 18 points.

Carter's defense is good, but wusheng's defense is not built, not worse than Carter's.

Even because of his height and arm, wusheng's defense is better than Carter's.

Even if Raptors feel that they are losing money, it is still quite feasible for them to increase their chips.

"Boss, do you want to introduce Vince Carter?"

"Not very well, Carter has no organizational ability, we need a qualified ball controller now..."

"Carter is good, but we don't need this player!"

The three dissuade Richard one after another. At present, the trailblazer team really doesn't need Carter at all. If Carter is a player with accurate shooting skills like Ray Allen, that's two things.

Richard shook his head. "No, it's not vincat. I want Ron Artest and Tracy McGrady!"

The three of them were stunned, and they couldn't understand what Richard wanted to do

For two strikers?! Isn't it that the Blazers still don't have ball handlers

"Do I remember that Booker Carter and Larry Bird were teammates for many years? I'll get in touch with Butch Carter and see what they say... " Richard made a decision on this matter.

In fact, Richard is very clear that he wants to trade wusheng Jackson for Artest and McGrady, which is unlikely. Even if there is such a trade tendency in raptors, Richard will definitely increase his chips.Now Richard just wants to find out about the dragon.

……

At least let's see if the Raptors have a trade tendency
