Chapter 685: Paul hurt; new salary cap

Perhaps it was Yang Cheng’s distrust and even contempt that stimulated Paris. She stood up quickly and leaned over the table and glared. It’s a pity that her sweet and sweet voice is not suitable for getting angry. "Jason, you are too much, I Knowing what ridiculous things I have done in the past, it seems to many people that I have no cure, but at least now I want to change. As a friend, you should support me, not belittle me."

However, Yang Cheng firmly believes in a well-known saying: Dogs can't change eating shit.

Paris Hilton, who has lived in a luxurious and luxurious environment since he was a child, has extravagant blood throughout his body. Want to change? Let's delete Hilton's surname first.

However, for this woman's seemingly sincere sake, Yang Cheng did not have any more poisonous snakes after all. She pretended to cooperate and said a few good words, and finally sent her away.

Of course, Paris’s words are not without any enlightenment. He has no money to acquire 25% of the Hilton Group’s shares. However, 10% or 15% of the shares cannot be bought. Considering his cultural travel plan, if he The inclusion of the Hilton Hotel in the system may be a good puzzle.

This matter still needs to be considered for a long time, at least before reaching a settlement with Mrs. Zipton, he should not dream of taking advantage of the Blackstone Group.

. . . . . .

Three days passed in a flash, Yang Cheng was in the office of the Barclays Center, listening to the team's general manager Sean Marx about the preparation plan for the next season.

However, Yang Cheng's expression was slightly solemn, and even his face was a little ugly. Not only him, but Sean Marx, who was sitting opposite, also looked trembling, for fear of Yang Cheng's curse.

"Boss, Chris' injury is basically confirmed. The left hand ligament is slightly torn, which is not too serious. As long as you meditate for a period of time, you can recover, but the second round of the playoffs is definitely not going to be played."

This is why Yang Cheng’s complexion is so green. The Brooklyn Nets were in a good situation in this year’s playoffs. First they fought a victory at the Bulls’ home court, and then returned to the Barclays Center. With support, the big score was expanded to 3:1 in one effort. At this moment worth celebrating, an accident happened.

In the fifth game, they moved to Chicago. Faced with the Brooklyn Nets, who got the match point and were in high morale, the Bulls launched a **** counterattack. The game was extremely dirty. First, the Nets' center Lopez was killed. The opponent was injured after a malicious foul. After the star Chris Paul shot again, he was severely dragged by the opponent's backup guard, and a sharp pain came from the moment his hands were supporting the ground.

However, at this time the bayonet of the two sides became popular. Chris Paul did not say anything. He clenched his braces and insisted on finishing the game. Although he still lost the game in the end, no one criticized the Nets. Everyone thought the Nets this game. It's a glorious defeat.

Back in New York, Paul immediately accepted the Cornell Medical School's sports injury expert treatment, and confirmed that the injury was not serious at the time. Taking into account the second round of the game, after discussing with the team, in the sixth game, Paul chose to take a truce to recuperate his injuries. As a result, the Nets were beaten into a sieve at home, and the big score was 3:3. In the first round, he was dragged to the 7th game, and the pressure came to the Nets for an instant.

To be reasonable, the momentum is very mysterious. The Bulls who have just pulled two games in a row are obviously more morale, and the Nets’ star players are free from the game. Almost all media and fans are pessimistic about the Nets, even the Nets’ own. The players can't help but feel weak.

At this time, Paul stepped up and went into battle with a strong injury. In the seventh game, he took out his lifelong knowledge and dragged the game into overtime. In the second overtime, Paul put in a fatal three-pointer. After the victory, he couldn't hold it anymore and had to retreat. The Nets players didn't lose face and played steadily and finally won the tiebreaker.

However, Chris Paul also bid farewell to this season due to injury and left heroic tears when he left the stadium.

The current situation is very clear. Although the Nets have entered the second round of the playoffs, they have no chance of winning in the absence of a star and the core of the team in the face of the Atlanta Hawks, who ranked first in the regular season. , No one thought weirdly that a miracle would come.

The team management is also preparing for the draft and trading signings. The Nets lost this season because they failed to find a qualified helper for Paul. And Paul, due to his size, is not the kind of scoring explosion. A strong star, his ability lies in the big heart and the combing of the team's offense.

Therefore, the team reached a consensus that they need to find a stable assist point for Paul, who can throw the **** basketball into the basket, and stand up to share the pressure for Paul at a critical moment.

The young Utah Jazz star Hayward discussed before is one. Of course, it would be great if Durant, the scoring champion, can be brought to New York. He is currently in the healing stage and is formed with Russell Westbrook. Although the Thunder's talents have exploded, they have always missed the championship. I believe that this talented scorer who dreams of the O'Brien Cup will definitely be willing to pay any price for the championship. After all, his agent has secretly let out the wind, Durant Want to join a team that has always had the strength to hit the championship.

This also allows the Nets to see hope. To make a choice between Durant and Hayward, Durant is undoubtedly the first candidate, and his style of play does not need to invade the ball too much, can Westbrook Sharing the position of the team leader for many years, we can also see that the personality is more kind, which is what the Nets most hope to see.

Because from the time when Paul joined, the Nets had promised Paul's absolute core position.

Sean Marx was reporting to Yang Orange at this time, saying that he had discussed with Paul. Paul said he was very happy with Durant's joining. For the team, he is confident to handle the relationship with Durant.

In this way, Sean Marx can confidently and boldly contact Durant, and the rest depends on what the boss means. After all, Durant is bound to be given a maximum salary when joining, and all teams are also After hearing the news with the league, I basically estimated the starting point of the salary cap and luxury tax next season.

Both Paul and Durant signed two major contracts at the same time. It is inevitable to exceed the salary cap. The luxury tax is an astronomical figure, not every boss is willing to pay. Although Yang Cheng said it was not bad for money before, it is time. Now it's better to ask clearly, Sean Marx doesn't want to be the object of Yang Cheng's hatred.

What is salary cap and luxury tax?

Salary cap and luxury tax are both important terms in the NBA labor agreement, which are directly related to the relevant income of league basketball. Calculated according to the expected relevant income of the next season, a certain percentage is obtained. The salary cap is set to create an ecological balance. In other words, if there is no salary cap restriction, some local tycoon teams can sign uncontrollably, but with this restriction, when the team exceeds the salary cap, signing and other operations will be subject to certain restrictions.

When the luxury tax trigger line is exceeded, the team will need to pay a fine. Especially under the current labor agreement system, a step-by-step taxation is adopted. The more the luxury tax is exceeded, the greater the rate of payment rises. This is why many **** The reason why the team did not dare to cross the mine pool at will or chose to avoid tax through transactions. Prior to this, ESPN had analyzed that the Warriors transaction David Lee could pay tens of millions of luxury taxes.

According to the estimates of various teams, the salary cap for the NBA in the 2015-16 season is about 70 million U.S. dollars. It is expected that it will continue to break the highest record in history. You must know that the salary cap for this season is 63.06 million U.S. dollars, an increase of about 10%. In line with past laws.

At the same time, the luxury tax threshold for the new season may exceed 80 million U.S. dollars, which is expected to approach 85 million U.S. dollars. Also based on the figure of 76.82 million U.S. dollars this season, it has increased by about 10%.

With these two figures, the total minimum salary of NBA teams can also be calculated, which is generally 90% of the salary cap. This also means that the minimum salary of each team in the 2015-16 season is 63 million US dollars. If the cap rises, the minimum wage line is bound to rise. At present, there are several small clubs in the league whose total wages are far below the minimum wage threshold. They will definitely have a salary increase next season, but this Nets has nothing to do with them. I'm worried about this number, it will only be more than less.

According to the current labor agreement, according to estimated figures, in the 2015-16 season, the mid-class salary of the luxury tax team is about 5.4 million US dollars, and the mid-class salary of the super team is about 3.3 million US dollars. The middle-class salary of the team (the total salary does not exceed the salary cap) is about 2.8 million US dollars~www.readwn.com~ At the same time, the maximum salary for the 2015-16 season is also released, and the maximum salary for players who have worked for 0-6 years The starting salary is about 16.4 million U.S. dollars; the maximum starting salary for 7-10 years is about 19.7 million U.S. dollars; the maximum starting salary for more than 10 years is about 23 million U.S. dollars.

It is estimated that as soon as this figure is released, it will cause the media to go crazy. Compared with 30 years ago, the salary cap has risen nearly 20 times.

The NBA’s salary cap policy began in the 1984-85 season. The earliest salary cap was only $3.6 million. With the development of the league, the salaries of NBA players have been rising along with the salary cap, but this is far from the end.

According to the current labor agreement, player salaries account for about 50% of basketball-related income. Considering that the new broadcast contract will come into effect in the 2016-17 season, the NBA's annual TV broadcast income will increase by 1.74 billion US dollars, which also means that player salaries The total will also increase by US$870 million.

According to previous league calculations, the salary cap of the NBA in the 2016-17 season is expected to reach about 94 million US dollars. According to this figure, "veterans" such as James who have worked for more than 10 years (the maximum salary accounts for 35% of the salary cap ratio. ), LeBron's new contract starting salary will be as high as 32.9 million US dollars.

So it is foreseeable that starting from this summer, all kinds of crazy signings will follow. Some players with bright market prospects will either sign a multi-year super contract with the team or a short-term contract. Wait until next summer to reappear in the free market to fight for big contracts, so if you don't have money, don't mix in the NBA in the future. (https://)
