NBA: The strongest trash talk

“160 million in 5 years?”

Chen Xu was also surprised, this is indeed the largest contract that the Celtics can give under the current conditions.

According to NBA rules, Chen Xu is not an ordinary draft player, so his rookie contract is only signed 1+1, and the second year is a player option.

This is also the benefit left by the magician to Chen Xu.

According to Chen Xu’s performance this year, a $6 million contract is not a child labor contract at all, but a contract equivalent to a nearly free contract.

After all, today’s NBA market is flooded with large contracts, as long as it is a quasi-all-star, it is 160 million in 4 years and 200 million in 5 years, which looks scary to death.

A $6 million, 37.2 points per game player, in the eyes of other owners, is simply envious of the dead Celtics picking up such a big bargain.

“Yes, the only problem is that you’ve played in the NBA for too few years, so this contract won’t be honored until next year, when the Celtics get your bird rights.”

Bill Duffy analyzed.

Bird rights, also known as the Larry Bird Clause, are when a player is selected by a team in the draft and automatically receives the Larry Bird clause after 3 years with the team.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to this case, bird rights can also be traded.

For example, Chen Xu was exchanged by the Celtics for Irving and Tatum, not a free agent, so as long as Chen Xu plays for another 2 years, he will have bird rights.

Another situation is the early bird rights, after this year, Chen Xu will play for the Celtics for another year next year, and he will have the early bird rights, and he can renew his contract in advance and sign a 5-year $160 million contract.

If Chen Xu can play in the league for more than 8 years (excluding 8 years), and has been selected to the best team in three years, or selected as the best defensive player in two seasons, or won personal honors such as regular season MVP within three years, he can sign a super contract with an annual increase of 8% and the highest salary cap of 35%.

This is the case with $201 million in 5 years like Curry.

Last year, Wei Shao also renewed his contract with Thunder in advance, with a five-year $205 million, which is also the highest 35% salary cap super contract at present.

In this year’s free market, there are also many big-name players who have the opportunity to get super contracts, such as Kevin Durant, who played with the Warriors for 3 years after playing this year, and the Warriors also got Durant’s bird rights, Durant also played in the league for 11 years, if the Warriors extend him with a maximum salary, then Durant can get a 5-year $221 million super contract.

The same goes for Klay Thompson, who is in Thompson’s eighth year and has been with the NBA for nine years after playing this year.

He had been named to the All-NBA Third Team once in the previous two years, and if he made the All-NBA this season, he could sign a five-year, $221 million mega contract with the Warriors. If he is not selected, Thompson can only sign a five-year, $190 million maximum salary contract.

That also comes with the Hornets’ Kemba Walker, who could extend his five-year, $221 million super-cap contract to the Hornets if he is named to the All-NBS this year. (Checking this information is exhausting, I hope there is nothing wrong.) ）

“Next year your contract will be about 104.5% of the average salary in the league, and after signing this contract, the Celtics will also offer a five-year, $160 million contract.”

Birduffy said: “This should be the best result so far. Chen, that’s great! ”

After speaking, Bill Duffy couldn’t help but wave his hands.

This contract is definitely big enough, and after Chen Xu’s 5-year contract is completed, signing another 1 year 1+1 is enough to get a super-top salary contract.

At that time, Chen Xu was only 28 years old.

This kind of gold-absorbing ability is simply too strong.

What makes Bill Duffy most excited is that this contract renewal, he did not discuss with the Celtics at all, but after Chen Xu won 50+ in the playoffs single game, Danny Angie took the initiative to contact Bill Duffy and expressed full sincerity, hoping that Bill Duffy would convey it to Chen Xu.

In this case, Bill Duffy is still the first time to see!

After all, his previous biggest star was Dayao, and although the Rockets and Dayao worked together happily at that time, it was the first time that Bill Duffy met such a roaring signing by management.

This… Maybe it’s a superstar’s unique right!

“Chen, do you want to think about it?”

Although he is very excited, Bill Duffy still has to respect Chen Xu’s opinion, what if he is not happy with Celtic? Or go to other teams for the championship?

This is all within the broker’s consideration.

“No problem. How long does it take to sign a contract? ”

“When the next game is over, you come back. Then I went to inform them, it is estimated that this news will be announced soon! ”

Seeing that Chen Xu agreed, Bill Duffy relaxed his heart.

Even if the Celtics can’t win the championship this year, with the Celtics’ current salary and Chen Xu’s influence, they can sign one or two big-name stars next year, after all, Chen Xu’s salary next year will only be $15 million.

When the time comes, Chen Xu will team up with two all-stars? That picture is too beautiful to see!
