Jay Brown renewed the contract, 5 years 0.304 billion. From the previous foreshadowing, it was a matter of high probability that Brown would renew the contract with the Green Army, and the rumor of renewing the contract with the top salary was heard more than once. If according to the past labor agreement, the advance renewal increase was only 120%, Brown went through this channel and couldn’t get this price this summer. The new labor agreement mentioned the increase of 140% in advance. According to this standard, Brown can get a starting salary of 39.9 million. This figure seems to be not small, but in the context of the rapid rise of the wage cap, it only accounts for of the 24-25 season wage cap, which is slightly lower than the wage of Wikins 22-23 season. If Brown became a free agent in the summer of 24, it would not be difficult for him to get a 30% salary in the market.
The Green Army finally gave Brown super top salary with the extension clause of the designated veteran, and the starting salary accounted for 35% of the salary cap for the 24-25 season. This is the follow-up of Brown’s selection into the second round of the 22-23 season. Without this second round, Brown could not meet the requirement of the top salary renewal of the designated veteran.
Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing for the team that the stars are selected into the best lineup, especially in this key season before the implementation of the new contract, if they can avoid it skillfully, they can save a lot of money. Yang Shaoxia next door started three rounds to press the line for compliance. The starting salary of the new contract jumped from 30.91 million to 37.09 million, and he directly entered the 40 million club next season. Tatum has won the best team three times so far, two times for a while, one time for three times, but just missed the key best team in the 20-21 season, as a result, it was impossible to meet the standard of starting salary and upgrading of designated players, so he got 25% salary in a contract after his rookie, next season, Yang Shaoxia, who is younger than him, will take 7.4 million less.
Where to argue.
It didn’t take long for the Green Army to smile with a wide mouth. The matter became subtle when Brown’s face was stunned. The good news for the Green Army is that they have a way to renew Brown in advance. They don’t need to risk losing Brown and drag things to the summer of 2024. The bad news is that it seems strange if you use the terms of the designated veteran but do not give 35% of the top salary. Of course, there are exceptions. When Sir continued Gobel so much, although he gave a contract that everyone agreed to, Gobel did not get full. His starting salary was less than 32% of the cap. The Green Army failed to lower the price of Brown, which was bargaining issue. The young handsome harvested ruthlessly this summer, but this wave was soft.
Brown is not worth the price. Although many players who received the super top salary in the past were not worthy of the contract, among which wall was tired by injuries and no one could shake the position on the worst contract list in history, but Brown’s situation still broke a small record-compared with the “predecessors”, he was the only super top-salary player who was neither a nominal leader, it is not the most influential player of the team in the previous season. Last season, Brown ranked the 6th Celtics in BPM and the 5th in VORP. There was no need to compare with Harden, weishao, Curry, letters, and jokedge who had won the MVP, compared with other people who are relatively “pulled”, they are also independent.
Considering that the 21-22 season is a rare downturn in Lillard’s career, in addition to this season, since the 17-18 season, Lillard’s high-level data can enter the top of the league, so this table, the only thing Blanc can touch is Bill. The two have had close influence in the competition in the past three years. Bill is better than Brown in the field of comprehensive development and attack, brown has better contraption strength and elasticity. Brown’s attendance in the past two years is better than that of Bill, but Bill’s durability is better than that of Brown when the whole career is extended. Bill is 29 years old this year. Brown is 27 years old when he performs his new contract. The latter is two years younger, which means that the market price will be higher and will not be like Bill, only in exchange for old Paul’s expired contract.
But how much better? If Brown does not make decisive progress in the next year-for example, there are qualitative changes in the defense, and the operation control technology and the vision of playing the ball are improved by two levels-he is still a person who has never been a master, it cannot be used as the first driving force to hold the ball, nor is it the typical premium second-head of the top defender, and the attraction in the market is doubtful. Another situation is that the Green Army and the introduced Boshen have completed the renewal. The salary pressure of the team in the 24-25 season is huge. Considering that Tatum will also complete the renewal in the future, in the foreseeable future, the Green Army is likely to fight with the second hard cap.
Stevens was prepared for this situation. In addition to following the three rounds and five rounds of tied deals made by the Green Army as of this year’s deadline, it can also be the key to save money for the Green Army in the future. The second round show is cheaper than signing the basic salary of the veteran. There are special cases under the new labor agreement, and the Green Army cannot use cash to buy the second round after becoming the second hard cap line team. Now stock up more, Baileys is no harm.
However, this kind of preparation for life by tightening the belt cannot change the prospect that the Green Army cannot use the mini middle class in the future and faces huge taxes. This summer has become a node for buying and leaving hands. The overall framework is now set, and the degree of repair can be limited later. Of course, the Green Army also has the first round available. In addition to Horford, the core lineup of Rex rabbit, Jay, Boshen, white, Brogden and Lowe are all in the year of play. Even if the Green Army does not make up for strength, these people alone are enough to ensure a division final seat.
Even so, this situation can only last for the next two years. In the 25-26 season, Tatum’s big contract began to be executed, and Boshen’s contract had not yet expired. At that time, the Green Army still had no ability to retain White and Brogden, which was a question mark-how would Stevens deal with it?
Brown can’t be traded within the next year after the contract is renewed. The Green Army didn’t choose the plan of “sending him away because he didn’t want to give the super top salary”. If Lillard was younger, maybe the green army would move this thought. Since the new labor agreement canceled the number of designated top salaries held by the same team, and the Green Army still had several big contracts to pack, this allows them to still have the ability of sohalilad-so that we can see Durant + Bill + Booker + Ayton, with the image of Tatum + Brown + Lillard + Boshen-but it’s hard to imagine that the Green Army really pushed itself to a position that could not move, and could not use Brown, the most valuable chip, pioneers will also be less interested in them. So, at this moment, the Heat next door may be able to slide and kneel down.
If the sun side has already broken the Rubicon and sank the boat, the Green Army side is also close to the last battle. The Celtics ancestors did not lack the championship trophy, but this green army was stuck in the position of one step away for many years, and the desire to compete for the championship was beyond doubt. The young handsome cut the horse, took the round, captured platinum, sealed the Jay, and sounded the the charge of the Green Army’s decisive battle-what should I do two years later?
Who cares about two years later?
It is next summer. This contract rewards meritorious officials in advance. No one can persuade them!
Suddenly I felt that the new season was about to ignite.
