After the draft was over, Lin Ying and Yang Shuyi took a plane back to China.

With her own efforts, Yang Shuyi finally entered the Olympic squad. Although she was at the bottom, it was already very inspiring.

Moreover, she will also graduate from the University of Denver this year, and if nothing else happens, she will be able to pursue a career in professional basketball.

…

Shortly after Lin Ying returned to China, the NBA's free market opened in July.

At the very beginning, Deron Williams announced that he had reached a five-year contract extension with a maximum salary of 98 million yuan with the Nets.

Deron is currently worth the maximum salary in the free market, and he has shown his attitude by staying with the team for the first time.

Now, the only big fish on the free market is Howard.

Five teams including the Heat, Celtics, Rockets, Hawks, and Warriors are the most likely next homes for "Warcraft."

Although his next home is undecided, comments about Howard have begun to turn negative.

Because the Heat paid a lot of chips to get him before, but now he wants to leave.

It is worth mentioning that according to the new labor agreement, if Howard chooses to renew his contract with the Heat, he will receive a five-year contract worth 118 million yuan.

But if he signs directly with another team, he can only get a four-year contract worth 88 million.

Except for Howard, there are not many big fish in the free market this year. A few players that have attracted more attention: Ray Allen, Garnett, Nash, Kidd, Hibbert, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez

, Mayo, Batum, Gerald Wallace, JaVale McGee.

Generally speaking, there are not many big fish this year, but the attention is not low.

Lin Yingren is also paying attention to the Nets' moves in the free market at home.

With the Nets' current salary structure, the main players are basically unable to move.

And even if Deron's official contract extension is postponed, the Nets' current salary space is very limited.

All they can use now is 3 million for the small middle class and a basic salary.

And on the first day of the free market, they suffered a blow.

The Rockets offered Jeremy Lin a "poison contract".

This contract is a bug in the "Arenas Clause".

Why do you say that? Specifically, Jeremy Lin’s contract is 20.9 million in three years.

This contract is not that big. You can understand that the Rockets value Jeremy Lin's good potential and are willing to poach him with an annual salary contract of more than 6 million.

But the disgusting thing about this thing is the provisions of the Arenas Clause itself.

Dan Fagan exploited a loophole in league rules and poached Arenas from the Warriors with a six-year, $64 million contract.

Because Arenas was a second-round pick and only played two years with the Warriors without the Bird clause, the Warriors were unable to renew his contract and could only watch as he was poached.

So in order to avoid this situation, the league introduced the Arenas Clause.

There are two main key points in this clause:

1. For restricted free agents with 1 or 2 years of playing experience, the starting salary in the first year of the invitation contract cannot exceed the full mid-level exception.

Second, salaries are allowed to increase significantly starting from the third year, up to the maximum salary a player could receive in the first year.

This seems quite normal. The first point is to avoid Arenas' situation, and the second point is to protect the interests of the players.

But there is a "third point" hidden in the new version of the labor agreement.

The new version of the collective bargaining agreement stipulates that for teams that offer invitation contracts, the salary space occupied by the contract is calculated based on the average.

Let’s go back to the contract itself. The three-year annual salary offered by Mosaic to Jeremy Lin is 300,300,14.9 million.

According to the above three points, if the Nets match, Jeremy Lin's salary in the third year will be 14.9 million.

If the Rockets get Jeremy Lin, they only need to pay Jeremy Lin a contract of more than 6 million per year.

This is where the term poison contract comes from.

Drill, drill through the loopholes of the rules!

And the Rockets are really disgusting with the Nets, because they offered 5 million and the Nets had no room to match, but he offered 3 million.

Give you a chance to match, but in fact you can't match at all.

Warken Dean has already greeted the eighteenth generation of Mosaic's ancestors in his heart.

But everything has pros and cons.

Jeremy Lin cannot be retained, but it is a good reminder to the Nets.

In the subsequent signings, the Nets, Crowder and Scott all started with three-year contracts.

The first two years are fully guaranteed, but the third year is not guaranteed.

This is actually no different from a two-year contract, but it doesn't give you the opportunity to exploit loopholes in the contract.

And on the day they lost Jeremy Lin, the Nets immediately received good news.

Billups contacted the Nets and expressed his willingness to join for one year [basic salary]!

This wave, this wave is called giving timely help!

Billups averaged 15+ per game last season!

Although there are certain hidden dangers of injury, the Nets have Deron and Billups will not be beaten as badly as he was in the Heat, so this hidden danger is naturally lower.

And the key is the basic salary!

What kind of bike do you want?

Anthony: I feel like I've lost something!

And just after Billups confirmed to join the Nets, another veteran also appeared in Nets rumors.

Iverson!

When the Nets were short of players last season, Iverson expressed his desire to play for the Nets. He even said that he didn't care whether he would play or come off the bench when he joined the Nets. He just wanted to play with his good brother Lin Ying.

.

But he was still injured last season, so the Nets finally signed Jeremy Lin.

Now that his injury has healed, he has made such a sound again.

However, because Iverson has not played for more than a year, this kind of noise is currently limited to the rumor stage.

Lin Ying was very happy when she saw the news.

Iverson in history has reached this stage and no longer has the ability to play in the NBA.

But now, because his appearance created a butterfly effect, Iverson was still playing for the 76ers until he was injured last season.

So if Iverson has been training to continue playing in the NBA in the past year, he still has a chance to play in the NBA.

It would feel really good if that were the case.

After all, what he failed to do with the Nuggets, he now has the opportunity to do again with the Nets.

This is not the end yet.

Over there, Barbosa also expressed his willingness to join the Nets with a minimum salary!

No doubt, it’s because of Lin Ying again!

And the difference between Barbosa and Billups and Iverson is that he is only 29 years old and still in his prime!

*Historically, Barbosa joined the Celtics with a minimum salary of this year.

Walken Dean now felt a little worried about happiness.

The tightness after the trade deadline last season has now turned into a difficulty in choosing!

Even not just the guard line, there are also many players in other positions who have rumors with the Nets.

The emergence of this phenomenon, in addition to Lin Ying, is also due to the outstanding performance of the Nets last season and the joining of Sloan.

They saw the possibility of a championship in the Nets.

Some people may ask why they don't go to those super teams?

Seats are limited!

A team can have a maximum of 15 players, including the rookies won in this year's draft, so the number of places is very limited.

What happened with the Nets is now happening with those teams.

And while teams including the Nets were still struggling, another wave of amnesties followed.

On this day, as many as seven players were pardoned by their respective home teams.

*The 76ers pardoned "Captain" Elton Brand; the Kings pardoned Brandon Haywood; the Timberwolves pardoned Milicic; the Wizards pardoned Andre Bulayche; the Clippers pardoned Ryan Gomer.

Sri Lanka; the Hornets pardoned Luis Scola; the Nuggets pardoned "Big Bird" Anderson;

This makes the already lively free agent market even more exciting.
