After adding a Dai Quinn Cook in two rounds, the Bobcats changed to Xiao Mo, dealing with Old Martin's huge contract, and also cheating the Cavaliers.

This transaction is definitely not a loss.

Lao Qiao called Li Ke: "Morris Williams averaged 15.8 points last season. I remember the series between the Cavaliers and us in the playoffs, which was his best performance."

"As far as I know, Danny Ferry originally wanted to keep Morris Williams, but..."

"This deal, the Knights lost a lot."

On the phone, Lao Qiao was quite content, but Li Ke suddenly mentioned: "If I remember correctly, Itan's contract has expired, right?"

"Itan? That's right, his contract has expired."

"The contract of 7.35 million expires, plus the exception of more than 8 million received by Kenyon this time, we now have more than 10 million US dollars in salary space?"

Old Qiao suddenly fell silent. Li Ke knew that he was calculating.

In fact, it's easy to calculate. After a deal, the only players who have the Bobcats have a contract are left--

Curry, Mo Xiao, Earl Watson, Li Ke, Wesley Matthews, Hua Lao Er, Du Lao, Tagibson and Jordan Jr.

Li Ke, Curry, Lao Du, and Tagibson are all rookies in the first round draft, ranging from two million, three million, and four million.

Wesley Matthews and Jordan Jr. are both rookie contracts for second-round draft picks, with salaries of around one million dollars, which is less than $14 million in total.

Adding Earl Watson’s 3 million, Xiao Mo’s 9.3 million, and Hua Laoer’s 10.5 million, the total is US$36.8 million.

The NBA's salary cap next season will be about $58 million, and the Bobcats now have more than $10 million in salary space...

"The salary space of more than $20 million, plus we will also renew Kwame, renew PJ, sign in the first round of this year, and leave enough salary space to accommodate Stephen Jackson, and finally we should have about $8 million left."

"About 8 million? Who is the team going to trade Stephen Jackson?"

"Earl Watson, you should be able to get another second round."

Li Ke's mind is full of Bobcats' lineup next season, and the point guard should be the main Curry, who will be the substitute for Xiao Mo.

The shooting guard, he will be suspended for 18 games himself. In a short period of time, Wesley Matthews will be on the top and is still missing a third substitute. He should have a basic salary without guarantees and will sign any casually.

The injury of the small forward and Hua Er's second child should be unhealthy before the All-Star Weekend next season. Captain Jack was introduced to make up for Hua Er's second child's lack.

The substitute is not bad, and Lao Dugatak is still enough.

The only power forward is Tagibson. It is not difficult to tell from Rivers's words that he should have been prepared to play the No. 4 position with Lao Du and Tucker.

When Hua Lao Er returns, his position should be in the fourth position. Similarly, there is no shortage of people.

Center Jordan Jr., plus renewing the contract to praise the top scorer, is enough manpower.

But the remaining salary space...

"It's a bit difficult to cheat Danny Ferry for more than 8 million..."

"Are you a magician Sheldon? Danny Ferry just called Ritchie, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you later."

...

Li Ke didn't wait long, and soon, he learned about Danny Ferry's purpose from another phone call from Old Qiao.

"Antoine Jamieson plus two rotations of our one round, what do you think, Sheldon?"

“It can be operated…”

Jamison still has oil. Before joining the Cavaliers last season, he averaged 20.5 points per game with the Wizards. Although the Cavaliers dropped to 15.8 points, that was also the result of the weak ball.

In terms of strength, Jamison is definitely at the quasi-star level.

Moreover, the style that can be both inside and outside is also very suitable for this new era.

The reason why it is said that it can be operated is that although Bobcat is still more than 20 million US dollars away from the salary cap, she has signed what should be signed and what should be replaced, and there is only 8 million US dollars left.

But the salary cap and the luxury tax line are two different things. 48% of the league's total income is the salary cap, and 55% is the luxury tax line.

There is a 7% gap between the two.

If the NBA salary cap is $58 million next season, the luxury tax line will be around $66.5 million, and the difference between the two is $8.5 million.

With the extra $8 million in space from Bobcats, Jamison, who won $13.36 million, can still not pay taxes.

But if you operate like this, you will have to be overheard, and the alliance will not allow you to overheard out of thin air.

At this time, the transaction exception of more than $8 million obtained by Kenyon Martin's previous transaction can play its role.

The only problem is that after such an operation, Lebang will stay with the Knight, and his criticized decision will not happen again.

"It doesn't matter, just make money..."

On the other side of the phone, Old Joe also said that he would not let Danny Ferry get his wish easily. No matter what, he had to quarrel with Danny Ferry and try to get some substantial chips.

...

Time is fast, and the draft is here.

What is no different from the draft lottery is that this year's draft conference has not much difference in selecting people.

John Wall still went to the Wizards, the 76ers still chose Evan Turner, Cousins ​​went to the King, the Pistons chose Monroe, the Jazz took Gordon Hayward, and Paul George were also taken by the keen eyes of Larry Bird...

Only when you get to the Bobcat location, different choices from history really appear—

"The 2010 NBA Draft, with the 27th pick in the first round, the Charlotte Bobcats chose... from the University of Cincinnati, six feet and five inches, 210 pounds, Reims! Stephenson!"

When he heard his name from David Stern, Stephenson, a Brooklyn native in New York, was a little confused.

He didn't go to the scene because his prediction was only second round.

As a proud New Yorker, he always dreamed of being selected by the Knicks.

result……

In the first round, the Bobcat chose him away.

The friends around him cheered wildly, and Lance Stephenson, who was sitting in the dilapidated bar, was stunned.

He didn't know whether it was his luck or his misfortune.

Anyway, he is going to say goodbye to his hometown, but his rookie contract will be several times bigger!

"Lance Lance Lance! You've stepped into the NBA!"

"You are a millionaire with a rookie contract signed!"

Uh... If he wasn't selected by the Bobcat, he should be a millionaire.

The three-year second-round rookie contract is only about $3 million at most, and it cannot reach tens of millions at all.

But if it is the first round, the starting salary of 2 million yuan in four years will be almost ten million US dollars.

Thinking of this, Stephenson began to cheer.

I'm going to make a lot of money when I go to the New York Knicks!

...

After the draft, Danny Ferry became more and more anxious.

Because the Heat, which also has the opportunity to win the Big Three, has completed the clearance of its salary space.

Pat Riley decisively sent Michael Beasley to the Timberwolves who had the last bit of space and took two second rounds.

Now, only Fei Dun can affect the Heat's signing of the Big Three.

But Feidun, who averaged 14 points and 7 assists per game last season, was so easy to deal with. The Knicks, Lakers, and Celtics all were interested in him.

Not to mention changing the air, it is not impossible to change some draft picks or something.

Danny Ferry's only advantage is left, and he has Lebang's support.

But even so, he had to speed up.

So, after the bargaining, Danny Ferry was forced to have an extra chance of swapping the first round draft picks in the future...

In this way, a decisive transaction was reached.

Bobcats give out: the second round of the 2011 draft.

Get from the Cavaliers: Antoine Jamisonga's next two rounds, and the first round swap rights in 2014.

In addition to getting the second round in 2011, the Cavaliers also received a trading exception of $13.36 million.

The salary space that was enough to sign the Big Three was finally vacant.

The sight returned to the Bobcats, and the deal with the Warriors was soon completed.

The Warriors have just finalized Mark Jackson as the head coach next season, and Captain Jack becomes an unnecessary existence.

With only one year and $3 million left, Earl Watson took a second round and the Bobcats got Stephen Jackson from the Warriors.

In this transaction, Bobcats used the exception of trading Old Martin.

In order not to affect the renewal of the contract, the deal will not be officially announced immediately. Instead, it will be officially announced until the Bobcat completes all the contract renewal and signs the contract.

Next, Lao Qiao will use it one after another—

A three-year, $6 million contract, renewing the contract to praise the top scorer.
To be continued...
