Chapter 704 A Crazy Summer(2/2)
Especially during the lightbulb combination with Harden, when the two of them were on the court at the same time, there were not enough points visible to the naked eye.
Because Harden also plays with the ball as a core player, and Paul also has this attribute, it is difficult for the two of them to play a 1 1 ≥ 2 role.
What's more, after trading for Paul, the ultra-high luxury tax that the Trail Blazers will face in the next few seasons is also a big problem.
Although the Trail Blazers now have three maximum salaries, strictly speaking, Wang Zelin and Lillard are still within the rookie contract period. The Blazers will have to wait until next season to actually pay the ultra-high luxury tax.
Next season, the team will only have Aldridge, a man with a maximum salary of 20 million, and Wang Zelin and Lillard are still in the rookie bonus period, and this year happens to be the crucial period for the Trail Blazers to win three consecutive championships.
As long as they grasp the final rookie bonus of the two, the Trail Blazers management can make a difference in the trade market this summer.
But once Paul is traded, the team will have two maximum salaries next season, and the room for maneuver will drop off a cliff. They will also have to consider the future contract renewals of Batum and Jokic...
If you really get such a great man, the future of the Trail Blazers will be worrying!
Besides, according to St. Paul's lofty character, after joining the Trail Blazers, will he be willing to be the second child, or even the third child?
This is also a potential problem.
"Nell, you just need to know one thing, whether it's me, Damien, Barton or Nikola, we will only be stronger next season. We never need to form the so-called Big Three!"
Wang Zelin conveyed his meaning on the phone very seriously and stopped Orsi's thoughts.
Starting from the Big Three of the Celtics and then to the success of the Heat brothers' basketball, everyone seems to think that if you want to succeed in the league, you must work together.
The influence of this group-building culture is so bad that Wang Zelin doesn't like it very much.
There are currently four main players left by the Trail Blazers. Aldridge was selected in 2006, Batum was selected in 2008, Wang Zelin and Lillard were selected in 2012, and the four main players were selected by the Blazers themselves. and cultivated.
The Trail Blazers' road to winning the championship is completely different from that of the giants. Wang Zelin does not want to destroy the good team atmosphere and team culture of the Trail Blazers because of an outsider.
After Wang Zelin expressed his stance, Orsi quickly agreed.
Even the oldest Aldridge in the current main lineup of the Trail Blazers has just turned 30 and is in his prime. In addition, last season's rookie Jokic has also established a good chemical reaction with the team. He can play the role of the team's sixth man very well.
After thinking about it, Orsi also discovered that as long as the Trail Blazers maintained their current lineup, they were destined to have a terrifying invincible record.
Perhaps, he was really confused by Paul.
After his emotions were suppressed, Orsi regained his senses and sat on the bed, took a few puffs of cigarette, put down the phone, and fell back to sleep.
