Chapter 157 The idea of playing ball together
At Jeremy Lin's home, Shou Ye met Jeremy Lin himself who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Jeremy Lin underwent surgery and can walk, but he is still unable to perform high-intensity confrontation training.He was a little fatter than before, but only a little bit, and he seemed to be keeping his weight under control.
"You look in good spirits, Jeremy!" Shou Ye said with a smile after taking the water Jeremy Lin handed him.
Jeremy Lin smiled and said, "You know how much I like basketball. Now that I've been injured and stayed at home, I'm almost suffocating."
"Well, but you'll be training right away, can't you?"
"Yeah, just thinking I can play basketball makes me so excited!"
"I jumped out of the contract." Shou Ye said.
Jeremy Lin nodded: "I read the news, it's normal for you to jump out of the contract, you played so well last season, I also watched your playoff games, you all reached the Eastern Conference finals, God, I really I envy you so much!"
Shou Ye said with a smile: "There is an element of luck. I don't know what the management plan is. Do they want to strengthen the lineup and continue to hit the championship next season?"
Jeremy Lin said: "You are too humble, you play really well, you play pick and roll with Zhu, Andre, it's really great!"
"What about you, have you ever thought about staying in the Knicks?" Shou Ye asked.
Jeremy Lin nodded: "This is where my dream started. If the contract is suitable, I would like to stay. You should also be willing to stay in Philadelphia, right?"
Shou Ye nodded: "I have the same idea as you. If the 76ers offer me a suitable contract, I am willing to stay."
Shou Ye knew that Mosaic offered Jeremy Lin a three-year 3 million poison contract in his previous life, but the Knicks did not choose to match this contract, so Jeremy Lin finally joined Mosaic during the offseason.
"Tom, if I can, I really want to partner with you!" Jeremy Lin said seriously.
"Me too!" Shou Ye said.He wasn't trying to comfort Jeremy Lin, he really thought so.Jeremy Lin is a backcourt combo guard who has outstanding breakthrough ability and is very good at playing pick-and-rolls.And he is also very good at playing pick-and-rolls. If the two of them play pick-and-rolls, there will be a lot of changes in their routines, which is extremely difficult to guard against.
But it is not easy to want to play together.First of all, neither of them are superstars, nor have they made any money. It is impossible to really give up the opportunity of having a big contract to play "brother basketball"; suitable contract.
Jeremy Lin's situation is different from Shou Ye's. He is a restricted free agent, and his home team, the Knicks, has the right to match the contracts offered to him by other teams.
Shou Ye ate Chinese food at Jeremy Lin's house. Mama Lin's cooking skills were good and she let him eat delicious Taiwanese food.He took his leave after lunch.
The two agreed to train together during the offseason. Regarding the training, the two almost hit it off.They are all young people who love basketball, and they all hope that they will be better in the future. Training together can make each other stronger. Naturally, there is no need to say much.
Shou Ye jumped out of the contract and entered the free market, which really attracted the attention of many teams.This is a big man who can play two positions inside, has an excellent shooting ability, and is not a colander on the defensive end.The interior adaptability of this attribute is extremely strong, and it can almost be integrated into the lineup of most teams.The most important thing is that he is only 22 years old. Generally, the mature insiders are over 26 years old. He still has a lot of room for improvement.
The question now is what kind of contract you should use to sign him.Obviously, Shou Ye jumped out of the contract and definitely wanted to get a big contract.But obviously he is a man of yellow race, even Yao Ming has a problem of physical durability.Like Jeremy Lin, last season was a highlight for a while, but he was directly reimbursed for the season after being injured.Therefore, to put it more bluntly, people of the yellow race are too poor in the NBA.
Shou Ye has not suffered serious injuries so far, and his attendance rate is very good.But you must know that last season was a shrinking season, and he did not average more than 30 minutes per game, so his endurance has yet to be verified.
Therefore, Shou Ye's tolerance has become a major concern for many NBA teams interested in him.If you give him a long-term contract, you are afraid that you will be reimbursed for the next season or something, and you can't afford to be injured; if you don't give him a long-term contract, he will not consider your team.
The salary cap for the 2012-13 season has not yet come out. According to the predictions of various parties, the salary cap for next season is basically the same as last season ($5804 million).
This means that if a team wants to win Shou Ye with an annual salary of tens of millions, then their team must have enough salary space to sign him.And generally strong teams don't have much salary space. Although he is good for them, they can't get it.
The 76ers have enough salary space to eat Shou Ye, but they are also hesitant to give him a long-term contract with a high salary.If it is given, once there are super big fish in the free market next year or the next year, they will not have enough salary space, which is really too tragic.
In order to maintain the flexibility of salary space and not give up Shou Ye, the 76ers hope that he will sign a mid-level long-term contract.
寿叶也在盘算。他知道前世因为NBA联盟在2015赛季开打之前签下了9年240亿美元的电视转播合同，新的合同在2016年夏天生效，所以在2015-16赛季工资帽才7000万美元，但是到了2016-17赛季就疯涨到了9400万美金，是NBA历史上最大的涨幅。
If he signs a four-year contract, then by the summer of 4, his contract expires.At that time, the salary cap will rise sharply, and he can sign a bigger contract.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can perform well during this contract period, otherwise the salary cap will increase by then, but he will also leave the NBA, and everything has nothing to do with him.
Shou Ye entered the free agent market, and his agent Bill Duffy was busy, listening to the offer, and then analyzing the conditions of the offer and so on.
The 76ers first offered Shou Ye a contract.This is a 4-year contract with a total value of 2200 million and an average salary of more than 500 million. It is considered a middle-class contract.
Compared with Shou Ye's last two-year contract with a total value of 2 million US dollars, this contract is obviously more than doubled.
This contract can be regarded as a routine operation of the 76ers, because it has been revealed before that they are willing to provide Shou Ye with a middle-level contract.
What makes Shou Ye unhappy is not that the last year of this contract is actually a team option...
If the length of the NBA's guaranteed contract is the same as the total salary, then this additional condition is worth pondering.The difference between team options and player options is not just the initiative of the final season, but sincerity. The 76ers' contract is not big, and they still play this hand, which makes Shou Ye feel uncomfortable watching it.Before the general manager said that he valued him so much, and so on, now it seems that it is just playing the family card of courtesy.
