Gobert's contract extension was more troublesome than expected.

Qin Yang was also involved, and Cuban took Qin Yang's opinion into account when signing a new agreement with Gobert. Because the Mavericks are not without other options, the Clippers are about to fall apart, and Jordan Jr. wants to join the Mavericks after his contract expires.

Compared to interior defense, Jordan Jr. is not much worse than Gobert.

At least all of them are among the best interior defensive players in the league.

But Jordan Jr. only needs a salary of 18 million a year, which is very worthwhile, at least he can sign for many years to ensure the strength of the Mavericks' internal line.

But Goebel's price is inflated.

An interior who can't shoot, an interior who can't attack, with a salary of more than 20 million, and even if this is just the starting price, the Trail Blazers offered a big contract of 27 million a year for five years after the departure of LaMarcus Aldridge.

This contract ...... It's horrible.

It's going to be a five-year, $135 million contract, a blue-collar defensive interior who can't shoot, and a big contract like this.

In this way, McConley's contract is not very rubbish.

Especially after the salary skyrocket, Conley's big contract was hailed as prescient.

The Mavericks really can't afford this contract.

I don't dare to give, and I don't want to give.

Although the Trail Blazers gave a big contract, Gobert is still talking to the Mavericks, at this time, the player's personal will is very important, there are more players in the NBA who give up a large salary for the championship, for Gobert, it is a pity to lose a few million dollars a year, but the role of the championship for the player is also very obvious.

In the end, Gobert signed a three-year, $74 million contract with the Mavericks.

Calculated as a salary of nearly 25,000 per year, this salary is not low.

The Mavericks signed Gobert to solidify the interior defense.

But after this contract, the media generally expressed disfavorability.

TNT News:

"It's probably not a bad signing, but it's also a sign of uncertainty about the future of the Mavericks, because Nurkic has played really well this year, and maybe he'll need the same contract for the next few years, and it's a tough question for the Dallas to decide between them!"

After Gobert finalized the contract, Qin Yang's contract was also finalized quickly.

The contract is a maximum salary of $110 million for three years.

The annual salary is close to $40 million, which is not a small number, and there is no single year salary in the league.

Starting next season, Qin Yang will become the highest-paid person in the league.

After Qin Yang finalized his contract, Durant also chose to exercise the player option for next season, which means that the Mavericks' themed roster remains complete and remains a unique powerhouse in the league.

But...... There is already very little room for salary.

Gobert has more than 20 million, Durant has 25 million, and Qin Yang has 39 million, which adds up to more than 80 million, and the Mavericks' salary space is already very small.

The league's salary cap is $94 million this year, which means the Mavericks only have $10 million left to sign.

If you don't exceed $1 million, you'll have to pay $10 million in luxury tax.

Fortunately, the Mavericks are not without good news.

Al Jefferson announced his retirement from the NBA, and at the Mavericks' press conference for him, Al Jefferson burst into tears:

"Dallas is a great place, I've got the respect I deserve here, I've done everything, I love the Mavericks, thank you to Bruce for helping me, thank you to the owners and the coaching staff for supporting me, I'm happy to be here to retire and I'm going to go to China to see where Bruce is from home and where I'm interested."

Al Jefferson chose to retire directly when his contract expired, and even the Mavericks did not choose to accept the veteran contract.

Next for the Mavericks will be the CBA in China, which is a very good place to go.

Also leaving the Mavericks is P.J. Tucker.

Tucker was traded and was happy to win a championship, but PJ Tucker wanted more pay and a return to the factory, which was not possible with the Mavericks.

In the same position, there are Durant, James Ennis, Corebrewer, Brogdon, Ronald Hood and others, Tucker has a good attitude and excellent strength, but this does not become the reason why he wants a big contract and a main position.

The Mavericks can't afford it, so they can get together and disperse.

Morey of the Rockets offered a three-year, 38 million contract, which is not a small contract. More than 12 million a year, it is the best blue-collar contract.

It can't be helped.

In the playoffs, PJ Tucker performed well, even against James, he played very hard, with strong strength on the defensive end, excellent rebounding, and a sneaky three-point shot on the offensive end.

Such a role player, in line with Morey's algorithm.

This manager who learns statistics is very fond of this kind of player.

The Mavericks can't afford such a big contract.

What's more, the Mavericks have a lot of swing forwards, and it doesn't really matter if they abandon PJ Tucker.

Next up is Livingston.

Livingston performed very well, but he now needs more playing time and higher salaries, but this requirement cannot be fulfilled by the Mavericks, and after the contract expires, Livingston also chooses to leave, and the Warriors have plenty of salary space, offering a salary of 27 million for three years.

This salary is also a bit exaggerated.

Championships add value.

A reporter for Fox Sports News said of the two transfers: "Players who have spent time with the Dallas Mavericks will get their salaries skyrocketing, such as Livingston and PJ Tucker, whose salaries have increased by four times and ten times respectively, which is an extremely terrifying increase." ”

Of course, this is just an exaggerated claim by the media.

The Mavericks' bench strength is too strong, Livingston and PJ Tucker have played well in a limited time, in this case, poaching the two can increase the strength of their own team, but also weaken the strength of the Mavericks, so the other teams are very tacit.

The Mavericks want to trade players or draft picks from other teams, and no team has traded them back.

Sniping the Mavericks has become the consensus of other teams.

The Mavericks couldn't pick any good rookies, so they had to sell their first-round picks in exchange for next year's picks.

The Mavericks faced a salary problem, and Dirk took the initiative to jump out of the contract with an annual salary of 10 million. Choosing to take a pay cut, this is another pay cut for Dirk.

Last season, Dirk didn't play much, but his efficiency was not low. On the offensive end, it still completes more than ninety percent of the league's interior lines.

If you really consider the salary alone, it is estimated that many players are willing to give more than 10 million contracts, but Dirk chose the veteran's base salary and the Mavericks to renew his contract.

I have to say that Cuban and Dirk are true love!
