Super Lord of the Rings

After poaching three highly cost-effective veterans, the Kings seem to have locked in the championship for the new season. Many fans online commented that there was no suspense in the game.

ESPN basketball expert Nicholas wrote: "I think the Kings can hit the best record of 80 wins and 2 losses. I would not be surprised if they win all. When Wade, Curry, and Wang Jun are on the court together, who can guard them? Their offense?”

At the new signing press conference, Wang Jun returned to Sacramento to express his welcome. In the current market conditions, it is very rare to sign useful players at such a low price.

"At this point in my career, I just want to win." West said in an interview: "I don't want to be in a position where I'm just competing for the playoffs. I want to go to a place where I can really taste the finals, so I chose king."

Wade said something similar. "Last year I joined the Nets for the championship, but I didn't expect it to end like that. Now that I'm teaming up with Wang Jun, I don't believe I'll lose again."

The reporter asked: "You failed to defeat Wang Jun. Will you feel regret when you retire in the future?"

"Isn't this normal? Of all the No. 2 players, has anyone defeated him in the playoffs or the finals?" Wade answered.

He completely thought it over. Looking at the past data, he has defeated Wang Jun several times, and many stars have been turned into scum.

Stoudemire said: "I like China and have long wanted to partner with Wang Jun. I will try my best to help the team. I don't think it matters how big the contract is."

Next summer's new TV broadcast contract will cause the salary cap to skyrocket. Team managers are rushing to finalize as many contracts as possible before then, and the value of the players will also rise accordingly.

The management knows that the high-paying long-term contract that seems risky this year may not be so painful next year. Almost all teams are spending money like water. In the free market, only the Kings can sign big names cheaply, and the three veterans can be considered as bargains.

There are a lot of bad contracts coming out of free agency for next year.

It is simply unimaginable that a Thunder substitute like Reggie Jackson will renew his contract with the Pistons for 5 years and 80 million.

He averaged 14.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6 assists per game last season. He looked pretty good, but his shooting percentage was just over 40% and his three-point shooting percentage was 29.6%. In the past, this kind of player was at the middle level. Who among Cassel, Miller, and White Chocolate was not better than him? I have never received such a big contract.

This is the result of teams competing for offers and competing for them. In cold financial terms, the Pistons misunderstood Jackson's marketability.

The Pelicans signed center Omer Asik for $60 million over five years.

This is definitely a signing that will deceive the team. Last season he had 7.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and a 51.7% shooting percentage. He looked like a tough guy, but he was not.

With the seven-footer with slow feet and limited offensive ability on the court, the Pelicans were outscored by 22.5 points per 100 possessions. He can only rebound and resist people, and his defense has never been worthy of his reputation.

Asik isn’t even the worst signing. Kevin Garnett, who became a free agent, signed a two-year contract worth $16 million with the Timberwolves.

No strong team wants Garnett anymore. He is just an ordinary blue-collar insider, but the Timberwolves are willing to take advantage of him.

Last season, the 39-year-old veteran Garnett was traded back to the Timberwolves, and his statistics were a mess. Now he is playing the emotional drama of "falling leaves returning to their roots", and not many people buy it at all.

Others "return to their roots" either to compete for the championship or to bring new people back after winning the championship. What does Garnett do when he returns to the Timberwolves? Make money and help the team get better at the same time.

On the Internet, some fans joked: "Of course Garnett deserves an annual salary of 8 million. He will become the boss of the locker room and beat up the newcomers who are dissatisfied."

An even more outrageous thing happened with the Cavaliers. Christian Thompson wanted a super contract worth 80 million over five years, and negotiations with the Cavaliers reached a deadlock.

He is just a blue-collar guy who lacks offensive power. The Warriors' Klay Thompson only earns 70 million in five years. Where is the justice?

If Thompson is not renewed, the Cavaliers will have to let James play the 4th position without a qualified substitute. If Thompson is given a high salary and a long-term contract, it will basically be charity, which will not be of much use.

Wang Jun was very happy after reading the news, and signing with the Kings seemed even more worthwhile. Signing Patterson for 18 million in three years last year is not bad. Patterson can at least open up space.

James felt deeply sad. For a guy like Thompson to be sent to the Kings as a marginal player, the other side doesn't necessarily want him.

Some people are optimistic that the Cavaliers will reach the finals next season. James is heartbroken. Even if he reaches the finals, can he win against the Kings?

At the end of July, Wang Jun officially renewed his contract with the Kings, signing a five-year maximum salary of 148 million. He has played in the NBA for exactly 10 seasons, including 11 seasons in the 2008-2009 season when he only played a few games. Terms for veterans.

The Kings originally hired Wang Jun for a maximum salary of five years. With the increase, he surpassed the five-year salary of 145 million from the Pelicans' "thick eyebrow brother" Anthony Davis and became the highest salary in the NBA. It was far better than the Knicks signed Carmel last season. Ron Anthony’s 129 million.

Seventeen years ago, Jordan made 33 million in a single year, finally caught up, and Wang Jun deserves this high salary.

Many people are discussing on the Internet that in comparison, in the era when Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar claimed to be stronger defensively, players were too cheap.

Few people know that the first NBA emperor, George Mikan, signed with the Lakers for an annual salary of US$15,000, and his highest annual salary was only US$35,000.

At that time, Uncle McCann took the lead with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars. He dominated the NBA during the season and established a dynasty. During the holidays, he studied for his lawyer's license by himself. In 1996, he admitted that he had never had a sneaker contract in his life, so he just played basketball and hoped to make money as a lawyer after he retired.

This figure is actually a high salary.

When Bob Cousy, the seven-time assist king, originally signed with the Celtics, he asked for 10,000, but was offered 9,000 in return by the Cardinals, so he had no choice but to accept it.

In 1979, the league's highest-paid players, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Dr. J, only had 650,000 yuan. It was a hellish league. No wonder many people would rather play street ball than enter the NBA.

"Magic" Johnson was very stupid and naive in the 1980s, and signed a magical contract of 25 million for 25 years. Little did they know that due to his duel with Larry Bird and the soaring NBA broadcast fees, in the late 1980s, an annual salary of 3 million became the standard for stars. In the past ten years, the maximum annual salary has basically increased five times!

In the early 1990s, Magic's salary in the team was actually low. He was so anxious that he rushed into his boss's office and asked for a price increase. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with AIDS, and the story was different.

In the same era, Jordan's salary was only a few million, but he was in no hurry. In the early 1990s, Jordan's annual business income was five to six times his salary.

It was from Jordan in the early 1990s that superstars became less and less interested in wages. When Barkley switched to the Rockets and Jordan returned to the Wizards, they both claimed that they only needed 1 million a year, a symbolic salary, and there would be endorsements anyway.

Therefore, the irony is that the more players earn in salary, the less they care about salary. For Wang Jun, it is just a number.

James signed a two-year contract with the Cavaliers in order to become a free agent in 2016, maximize his interests under the new salary cap, sign the most amazing maximum salary contract, and prove his worth. Wang Jun is not as calculating as him. He doesn't care if the difference is one or two million, and it doesn't matter if it's several million.

Throughout the holiday, Wang Jun spent time with his relatives at home and enjoyed life.

He has reduced the amount of training and only does immortality methods and underwater training. He has conquered the NBA and feels there is no need to risk his life in practice.

It’s just that he thinks so. Letting others do his underwater training for an hour is risking his life...
