The Godfather of Basketball

Vol 2 Chapter 356: The protest is invalid! (One / four!)

Tang Tian finished his lunch at Yao Ming ’s manor, and the moment he stepped out of the manor, he picked up his mobile phone and called Jones, allowing him to contact Yao Ming ’s team as soon as possible.

Now that it has been negotiated, it is necessary to draw a conclusion on this matter.

After two days of negotiation, soon, a news that made the league shock again.

Yao Ming and the Cavaliers reached a verbal salary agreement agreement with a starting salary of 17.4 million and a five-year total value of 90.91 million.

Just after the oral agreement of Yao Ming was reached, James followed and reached a renewal contract with the Cavaliers with a starting salary of 16 million and a total value of 68.8 million in 4 years.

James renewed the contract by 1.4 million less than the top salary, but because of the bird rights, the contract rose to the highest 7.5%, and has player options in the third and fourth years.

These 1.4 million are for retaining Artest.

Also after James renewed, Artest jumped out of the player option and reached a two-year 15 million renewal contract with the Cavaliers.

After this, Whiteside, Stephenson, Jeremy Lin also successively signed with the team.

Whiteside received a contract similar to Green's, 4 million for 4 years, with team options for the next two years.

Stephenson and Jeremy Lin are the standard second-round show contract, 1.49 million in 2 years.

In this way, the prototype of the Cavaliers' new season has basically appeared.

Point guard: Chris Paul (14.94 million), Beverly (800,000), Jeremy Lin (730,000)

Shooting guard: Danny Green (800,000), Lance Stephenson (730,000)

Small forwards: James (16 million), Artest (7.5 million)

Power forwards: Ryan Anderson (1.41 million), Frye (3 million)

Centers: Yao Ming (17.4 million), Kwame Brown (1.31 million), Whiteside (930,000)

This lineup has 12 people, with a total salary of 65.55 million, under luxury 65.65 million.

In other words, the Cavaliers also have a full middle class (starting salary of 5 million), a biennial exception (starting salary of 1.9 million).

They can at least add two more players on the free market.

When the Cavaliers line-up was released, the league was volatile and protests continued.

"This is shady!" Morey almost snarled to the media.

"The alliance should investigate whether Yao has the possibility of black box operation. This possibility is very great!" Anji directly agreed.

"This kind of team should not appear! This is unfair to other teams!" Magic team general manager Otis Smith protested.

Uh ...

Has a greater impact and is more intense than the previous James decision.

The lineup of the three giants formed by the Cavaliers is an explosive impact for other teams.

Paul, the league's first point guard, ranked third in the MVP two years ago.

James, the league's first small forward, MVP ranked second in the past two years.

Yao Ming, the league's first center, has just completed the regular season MVP three consecutive villages.

The Big Three of the Celtics in 2008, and this is simply incomparable!

Even the Big Three of Tang Tian ’s previous life are far less powerful than this!

This is simply the Galaxy Team!

Really exploded!

Stern's office, neat and tidy, received a letter of protest from all the management of the other 29 teams in the league.

The league was forced to investigate Yao Ming's signing of the Cavaliers.

The investigation lasted for a week, and the Cavaliers and Yao Ming's team were quite cooperative.

But the results of the investigation left other teams speechless.

The operation of the Cavaliers signing Yao Ming is in full compliance with the regulations, and there is no illegal operation!

After all, Yao Ming and the Cavaliers signed a real maximum salary contract, which was not a conceptual thing at all with the yin and yang contract of Joe Smith and Timberwolves.

Yao Ming's signing is no problem, right?

OK, then investigate James!

So, under the pressure from the management of the other 29 teams, the league launched a three-day in-depth investigation of James' signing.

The result is exactly the same.

Is legal and compliant.

You can't say that people's salary cuts and contract renewal are wrong?

Others are willing, you can drop it!

Is James okay? Then check Artest!

The contract of Artest renewal is 2.5 million more than his original contract ...

So, after more than half a month of tossing, the alliance did not investigate any problems.

All operations of the Cavaliers are within the rules.

In other words, the protest is invalid!

In fact, all operations of Tang Tian are definitely within the rules.

Is even cleaner than the previous Big Three.

After all, as a traverser, his layout had already begun when the offseason last season.

Is in full swing, and the time comes on July 12, and the freeze period for the signing of the alliance also ends.

All of the previous oral agreements have also signed formal contract.

Yao Ming, James, Artest, Whiteside, Stephenson and Jeremy Lin all signed a formal contract with the Rockets on this day.

After the contract was signed, the Cavaliers also held a press conference.

The scene was full of popularity, and all local sports media in Cleveland came.

"Our goal is not one or two championships, our goal is an unprecedented dynasty."

At the press conference, Tang Tian was also very proud.

Cleveland's already hot ball market, with his statement, has come to an unprecedented explosion period.

In the conspicuous area of ​​the town, Tang Tian and the Big Three ’s street signs are everywhere, even if you go to the mall and take two steps, you can hear someone talking about the team next season.

For the Cleveland people, the impact of the three giants of the Cavaliers on their lives is even greater than whoever is running for mayor.

In fact, the mayor of Cleveland was not idle. After the press conference, he set the date of July 12 as Cleveland Fan Day in his daily work report.

The whole city is boiling ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ After the press conference, Tang Tian returned to the coach's office.

The lineup of the three giants has taken shape, and now it is basically a matter of tinkering.

Gilbert is not a stingy person. Now that the ball market is booming, he certainly does not mind a little extravagance.

The existence of the middle class special case and the biennial special case gives him room for his hands and feet.

He called Dante to the office.

"Korver and Mike Miller haven't made any progress yet?" He asked doubtfully.

In the past freeze period, his energy was focused on the renewal of Yao Ming and James, as well as coping with the league investigation, and Dant did the rest.

"We shouldn't be able to sign them." Dante continued.

"What's going on?" Tang Tian frowned.

Korver and Miller are the most suitable players for the Cavaliers, with three-point accuracy and defensive average.

If he remembers correctly, Korver's previous life was a 15-million-year-old Bull and Miller's 5-year 29-million-year Heat.

The Cavaliers lineup is so tempting, one of the two, the middle class is sure to win.
