Chapter 331 World Championship MVP
With the addition of Daequan Cook in two rounds, the Bobcats switched to Mo Xiao, dealt with the super contract of the old Martin, and also cheated the Cavaliers by the way.
This deal is definitely not a loss.
Old Joe made a phone call to Li Ke: "Maurice Williams averaged 15.8 points per game last season. I remember the Cavaliers' series against us in the playoffs, and he was the best."
"As far as I know, Danny Ferry originally wanted to keep Maurice Williams, but..."
"This deal, the Cavaliers have lost a lot."
On the phone, Old Qiao was quite proud, but Li Ke suddenly mentioned: "If I remember correctly, Yitan's contract has expired, right?"
"Etan? Yes, his contract is up."
"The contract of 735 million has expired, plus the special case of more than 800 million for sending Kenyon this time, we now have more than 1000 million US dollars in salary space?"
Old Qiao suddenly fell silent, and Li Ke knew that he was calculating.
In fact, it is easy to calculate. After a deal, the Bobcats still have players under contract, and only -
Curry, Mo, Earl Watson, Li Ke, Wesley Matthews, Hua Er Er, Lao Du, Tajibson and Jordan Jr.
Li Ke, Curry, Lao Du, and Tajibson are all rookie contracts in the first round of the draft, ranging from 200 million, 300 million, and 400 million.
Both Wesley Matthews and Jordan Jr. have rookie contracts in the second round of the draft, and their salaries are both around $100 million, which adds up to less than $1400 million.
Adding Earl Watson's 300 million, Xiao Mo's 930 million and Hua Er's 1050 million, the total is 3680 million US dollars.
The NBA's salary cap for next season will be around $5800 million, and the Bobcats now have more than $1000 million in salary cap...
"More than $2000 million in salary space, plus we have to re-sign Kwame, re-sign PJ, sign this year's first-round rookie, and leave enough salary space to accommodate Stephen Jackson. In the end, there should be about $800 million left."
"Around 800 million? Who is the team planning to replace Stephen Jackson with?"
"Earl Watson, take another second round, and you should be able to get it."
Li Ke's mind is full of the Bobcats' lineup for next season, and the point guard should be the main Curry and Xiao Mo.
As a shooting guard, he himself will be suspended for 18 games. In a short period of time, Wesley Matthews will be on top, and there is still a lack of a third substitute. He should sign one with no guarantee of basic salary.
The small forward and Hua's second child's injuries should not be healed until next season's All-Star weekend. The introduction of Captain Jack is to make up for the lack of Hua's second.
The substitute is not bad, the old Duga Tucker is still enough.
Only Tajibson is left as a power forward. From Rivers' few words, it is not difficult to conclude that he should be ready to use Lao Du and Tucker to play the fourth position.
When the second Hua returns, his position should also be number four. Similarly, there is no shortage of people.
Center Jr. Jordan, plus the renewal of the No. [-] pick, has enough manpower.
But that's left with cap space...
"More than 800 million, it's a bit difficult to cheat Danny Ferry again..."
"Are you a fortune teller, Sheldon? Danny Ferry just called Rich, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later."
……
Li Ke didn't wait long, and soon learned of Danny Ferry's purpose from another call from Old Joe.
"Antawn Jamisen added two rotations to our first round, what do you think, Sheldon?"
"It can be operated..."
Jamison still has fuel. Before joining the Cavaliers last season, he averaged 20.5 points per game in the Wizards. Although it dropped to 15.8 points when he switched to the Cavaliers, it was also the result of the thinning of the ball.
In terms of strength, Jamison is definitely at the quasi-star level.
Moreover, the style of being able to be inside and outside is also very suitable for this new era.
The reason why it can be said is that although the Bobcats are still more than 2000 million U.S. dollars away from the salary cap, if they sign what should be signed and what should be changed, there will only be 800 million U.S. dollars left.
But the salary cap and the luxury tax line are two different things. 48% of the league's total income is the salary cap, and 55% is the luxury tax line.
There is a 7% gap between the two.
If the salary cap of the NBA next season is $5800 million, the luxury tax line will be around $6650 million, a difference of $850 million between the two.
Coupled with the Bobcats' extra $800 million in space, Jamison, who won $1336 million, can still do it without paying taxes.
But if you do this, you have to go over the cap, and the league will not allow you to go over the cap out of thin air.
At this time, the special case of the transaction of more than 800 million US dollars obtained by Kenyon Martin in the previous transaction can play its role.
The only problem is that with this move, LeBron will stay with the Cavaliers, and his much-maligned decision one will never appear again.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can make money..."
On the other side of the phone, Old Joe also said that he would not let Danny Ferry get what he wanted easily, no matter what, he had to argue with Danny Ferry to try to get some real bargaining chips.
……
Time flies, and the draft meeting is here.
The same as the draft lottery, this year's draft, there is not much difference in the selection of candidates.
John Wall still went to the Wizards, the 76ers still chose Evan Turner, Cousins went to the Kings, the Pistons chose Monroe, the Jazz took Gordon Hayward, and Paul George was also taken by the astute Larry Bird...
At the position of Bobcats, a choice that is different from history really appeared——
"In the 2010 NBA Draft, with the 27th overall pick in the first round, the Charlotte Bobcats select... a 210-foot-[-], [-]-pound guard from the University of Cincinnati, Lance! Stephenson!"
When he heard his name from David Stern, Stephenson, a native of Brooklyn, New York, was a little confused.
He didn't go to the scene because his projected pick was only the second round.
As a proud New Yorker, he always dreamed of being drafted by the Knicks.
result……
The Bobcats picked him in the first round.
The friends around him cheered crazily, and Lance Stephenson, who was sitting in the dilapidated bar, was stunned.
He didn't know if it was his luck or his misfortune.
In short, he is about to say goodbye to his hometown, but his rookie contract will be several times bigger!
"Lance Lance Lance! You've entered the NBA!"
"As soon as the rookie contract is signed, you will be a multi-millionaire!"
Ugh...he'd be a millionaire if he hadn't been drafted by the Bobcats.
The three-year second-round rookie contract is only about 300 million US dollars at most, and it can't reach [-] million at all.
But if it is the first round, the starting salary of 200 million for four years is almost [-] million US dollars.
Thinking of this, Stephenson also started to cheer.
Go to the New York Knicks on horseback, I'm going to make a lot of money!
……
After the draft, Danny Ferry became more and more anxious.
Because the Heat, who also have the opportunity to win the Big Three, have completed the clearing of salary space.
Pat Riley decisively sent Michael Beasley to the Timberwolves, who still had the last bit of space, and took two second rounds.
Now, the only thing that can affect the Heat's signing of the Big Three is Fatton.
But Ferton, who averaged 14 points and 7 assists per game last season, is too easy to deal with. The Knicks, Lakers, and Celtics are all interested in him.
Not to mention changing the air, it is not impossible to change some draft picks or something.
The only advantage left to Danny Ferry is that he has Le Bon's support.
But even so, he had to speed up.
So, after bargaining, Danny Ferry was forced to have one more chance to swap future first-round picks...
And just like that, a decisive deal was struck.
The Bobcats sent: A second-round pick in the 2011 draft.
From the Cavaliers: Antawn Jamisenga two future rounds, and a first-round swap in 2014.
In addition to getting the second round in 2011, the Cavaliers also got a special transaction of $1336 million.
The salary space enough to sign the Big Three is finally vacated.
Looking back at the Bobcats, the deal with the Warriors was soon completed.
The Warriors have just finalized Mark Jackson as the head coach for next season, and Captain Jack has become a redundant existence.
With only one year and $1 million left for Earl Watson, the Bobcats acquired Stephen Jackson from the Warriors in the second round.
In this transaction, the Bobcats used the special case of trading Martin Martin.
In order not to affect the renewal of the No. [-] Scholar and Tucker, this deal will not be officially announced immediately, but will be officially announced after the Bobcats complete all the renewal and signing work.
Next, Old Joe continued to use——
A 3-year, $600 million contract, with an extension to boast the No. [-] pick.
A 3+1 player option for the final year, with a total of 1600 million US dollars in four years, renewed the contract of Tucker, who performed well in the playoffs last season.
Tucker's contract extension is a little more expensive, and there is no way around it. The Bulls in the same district directly compete with each other.
If Li Ke hadn't come forward in person, and the Bobcats had matched the Bulls' offer, Tucker would have been retained.
At the end of the free market, Sean Livingston was signed back with a basic salary, leaving only one vacancy on the Bobcats' 15-man roster.
Point guards: Stephen Curry, Mo Williams, Shaun Livingston
Shooting guards: Li Ke, Wesley Matthews, Lance Stephenson
Small forwards: Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Jared Dudley
Power forwards: Antawn Jamison, Tajibson, PJ Tucker
Centers: DeAndre Jordan, Kwame Brown,
As for this vacancy, the team has decided to use the entire summer league plus preseason inspections to decide who will fill it...
Li Ke also set off to return to China after all the team's transfer operations were completed.
……
In August, Li Ke briefly traveled to several major cities in China to complete the off-season endorsement promotion task.
Then, he entered the men's basketball training center in Beilun, and after a short rest, he rushed to the chicken country with the team.
The World Championships in 2010 was a bit tasteless——
The first is the Dream Team. Kobe and Lebron didn't participate, and the new generation like Du and Rose are leading the Dream Team.
Even so, the US team is still the strongest team in this year's World Championships, one of which can be added or not.
Because on the salted duck side, Jiasao did not participate either.
If it wasn't for the disastrous loss in the Asian Championships last year, Li Ke probably wouldn't have participated.
But since he participated, he must do his best.
小组赛首战斯潘诺里斯领衔、且还拥有科斯塔库佛斯的希腊,李恪疯狂突破造成杀伤,独得34分4个篮板4个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽,带队以9分的优势取胜。
In the second game in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa's big belly, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief and only scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. Relying on the 24 points of the UAE and the 17 points of the Great Sage, the men's basketball team easily passed the test.
Puerto Rico with Carlos Arroyo and JJ Barea in the three games, Li Ke showed his offensive and defensive power, 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. While locking Arroyo, he led the team to victory.
The time has entered September, the fourth match of the group stage, and the men's basketball team has another battle with Russia led by Kirilenko.
对手虽有AK47,过程反倒比对波多黎各的比赛更加轻松,李恪27分7个篮板4个助攻2个抢断2个盖帽,带队取得四连胜。
In the final battle of the group stage, against the host country, Turkey, which has Memiteoku and Hidotkoglu, this is also a battle for the top spot in the group.
Although Okur blasted the inside line of Alian and Dazhi, Li Ke locked up Turkoglu on the defensive end, scored 33 points on the offensive end, and led the team to a narrow victory by 5 points.
Five consecutive victories in the group stage and entered the knockout round of 16.
Because it is the first in the group, the men's basketball team faced the fourth French team in Group D in the knockout round.
If it is the French team with Tony Parker, the men's basketball team may still face a tough battle, but this year's World Championships, the French sports car did not play, and Boris Dior did not come either.
Li Ke needs to face only Nicolas Batum and his old opponent Michael Pietrus in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Therefore, Li Ke activated his muscle memory in the Eastern Conference finals. Facing the defense of Pietrus and Batum, he still scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. He led the team to victory and entered the quarterfinals.
This year's World Championships, the task given by the Basketball Association is to reach the semi-finals as a success...
Therefore, the men's basketball team still needs a victory in the game.
Eight into four, the men's basketball team faced Slovenia, which defeated Australia on the other side and had Goran Dragic, Beno Udri and Primoz Brezek.
This eight-to-four knockout match is still a bit difficult. The small guards of Dragic and Udri have been constantly breaking through and harassing the outside line. Inside, Brezek, who has long since quit the NBA, actually suppressed the inside combination of the United Arab Emirates and Big Zhi.
Fortunately, Li Ke unlocked the top defense skills. After the team changed to the joint defense, he locked Dragic and Udrih almost by himself.
At the same time, the offensive end opened fire, scoring 37 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, leading the men's basketball team to defeat the opponent by 7 points and enter the semi-finals.
In the semi-finals, the men's basketball team drew the old rival Lithuania.
Lithuania does not rely on NBA stars to win the world, they rely on the so-called whole.
As a result, in this battle, Li Ke, who scored 35 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, told the Lithuanians that overall, there is no use for approval.
Finally, the final against the United States.
Xiaodu, Rose, Billups, Lamar Odom, Rondo, Curry, and Iguodala used practical actions to tell Li Ke what it means to be hard-pressed with two fists and many hands.
Even the Dream Nine team, which many people consider to be ordinary people, is still a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat in this year's World Championships.
Although he lost, Li Ke, who holds the silver medal in the World Championships, scored 274 points in nine games, surpassing Xiao Du, who scored 204 points in nine games, and was elected as the MVP of this World Championships!
