Chapter 971

As for the Thunder's signing of Noel, the outside world thinks that this is a signing with a small investment and a big benefit.Although Noel has thorny attributes, he is young and has good physical fitness. He belongs to the "black and tough" that many teams in the league like.His technical style is very suitable for playing next to the Big Three.

This is less risky than signing a contract. Even if Noel wants to be a monster, the team can only DNP him. It is really impossible to trade him. It is easy to change the atmosphere. After all, it is only a two-year basic salary.Even in the worst case, if he is cut off, the team will not lose too much.This is the advantage of short-term contract and small contract amount, the risk is also small, and the return may be large.

Noel is young and talented, and he can be regarded as a piece of jade in the rough. If it is played, the Thunder will really wake up from their dreams.

Many experts believe that the Thunder signed him to prepare for Duck's departure, which is tantamount to keeping a spare tire, and at the same time can lower the price in negotiations with Duck.

At this stage, Duck is indeed better than Noel, but if you think about it, a 24-year-old black man is only on a basic salary. Are you ashamed to ask for a maximum salary?

Originally, the Duck camp wanted to use the team's lack of space to sign good free agents as capital for negotiations, but they didn't expect the team to come up with such a move and find a spare tire in advance.

The duck egg camp was a little anxious, and took the initiative to negotiate with Presti, hoping to continue to cooperate and sign a contract that everyone was satisfied with.

The Thunder's reinforcements are still continuing. They re-signed old guard Raymond Felton with a basic salary and signed Singler with a basic salary.

As a result, the Thunder currently has 11 players under contract, including Xie Kai, Westbrook, Paojiao, Noel, Robertson, Patterson, Felton, Singler, Grant, Abrines, and Ferguson. players.

If the duck eggs return and sign a few more basic salaries, they can make up a lineup of 15 players.Of course, they can also reserve 1 spot and wait for it to be missed in the middle of the season.

For Duck, Noel is one of the reasons why he can't raise the price. Another reason is that the team's salary space has exceeded the cap, and he needs to pay a high luxury tax to renew his contract.The most important reason is that the league's current demand for big men has changed.A big man like Thick Eyebrow Towns can sign a maximum salary, but a defensive insider like him who has no shooting ability, is easy to be targeted by switching defenses, and does not have the inside attack ability of O'Neal, is not very popular in the market. In this way, a maximum salary is impossible. Even a team like the Knicks with stupid people and a lot of money will not use a maximum salary to win a center like Duck.Even if it is a maximum salary, it is very difficult. Anyway, no team has offered him with a contract with an average salary of more than 2000 million.

And staying in the Thunder can sign a 5-year contract, but going to other teams can only sign a maximum of 4 years.In the case that the strong teams in the market lack salary space, the market of duck eggs is actually not good enough.Weak teams certainly have space, but what they want are draft picks and young potential stocks. What's the use of a defensive center with little potential?Is it really because you look like Neptune, so you signed a contract with [-] million yuan to appreciate it?

Negotiations are still going on, and the Thunder are not in a hurry now, because there are fewer and fewer teams with salary space on the market.

On July 7, the Thunder and the Duck Camp finally reached a contract extension. The contract lasts for 7 years and is worth 5 million U.S. dollars!

This is already the highest salary contract that the Thunder can offer. Although the average salary is only 1400 million US dollars, it is a 5-year fully guaranteed contract, which is already very sincere.After all, the team has exceeded the cap, and the team needs to pay far more than 7000 million US dollars for this signing.

So far, the Thunder have basically retained the main lineup that won the championship last season, and the team's management during the offseason is still very powerful.The boss is also very strong, in order to establish the dynasty, he paid real money.

Xie Kai stays with his wife at home, and his mother Chen Guixiang is the happiest person now.Her son has a successful career, and as the leader of the global K honey group, she has great appeal.At the same time, the daughter-in-law was happy again, and the thing she was most worried about in the past few years also came to fruition.She imagined that she could be a grandmother next year, and she was really excited just thinking about it.

Xie Kai rested at home for a period of time, discussed with the trainer team, and formulated a training plan for this offseason.This offseason doesn't need to play for the national team, so I have a lot of time to improve myself.He was never satisfied with his game, and he felt that he still needed to improve.Technology is not perfect, it can only get better and better.

Xie Kai feels that his singles ability still needs to improve stability, especially the finishing efficiency at the basket.The core strength training effect is very good, and his stability and balance have become better last season.As for the training of rhythm, he thinks this is the direction of training in the future, because he will also celebrate his 30th birthday after the arrival of the new season, and the speed will definitely slow down in the future, so using strength and rhythm as the direction of his transformation is the right direction. It must be possible.

The Thunder players who trained with Xie Kai in China during the offseason of last season have teased him early, and hope to continue to train with him during this offseason.

Xie Kai's desert training method and plateau training method have become a good talk in the NBA, and many stars are also learning from his training method because he is so successful.

Since late July, Xie Kai has traveled to China with his training team for a one-month special training.

Training is very boring, but Xie Kai enjoys it. Apart from his love of basketball, the motivation to surpass Michael Jordan and become the best player in league history is the driving force for his continuous improvement.

Although Zhou Jing hopes that Xie Kai will always be by her side, she knows how important the offseason is to basketball fanatic Xie Kai. In order to support her husband, she offered to let him train instead of herself.

Xie Kai was very moved by Zhou Jing's thoughtfulness and understanding, and he became more motivated to train.

Xie Kairen trains in China, and the United States is also talking about him.

Barkley came out to be a demon again. He and his partner Kenny Smith participated in a radio program: "Compare Kane Xie with Michael Jordan? He will never be as good as Michael, because Michael has never held a group. And both three-peats were done with one team."

Kenny Smith laughed: "Is there any other reason besides these?"

Barkley said with a smile: "The current league is too soft, and the big men are all shooting 3-pointers. In such a soft league, I think Michael can easily score 40+ points per game!"
