Chapter 461: Good news

The Philadelphia 76ers trade is not particularly eye-catching, whether it is the players sent away or the players gained, it cannot bring any qualitative change to the two teams.

For the 76ers, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the existence of Bowler in Durham has little to do with the team's record. Although Bowler has enough time, he can still hope to average a double-double per game. But Darko on the bench is younger and has more tools to score. Jordan, a drafted rookie, also has the potential to be a good defender, so the presence of Durham Porter is a bit dispensable in itself.

The point is, Philadelphia got a draft pick and cleared the salary space smoothly.

The day after the deal was completed, the day the Olympic knockout tournament began, news broke out from Philadelphia again.

First of all, the details of the trade with the Warriors were announced, and everything was basically the same as the previous news, and the two teams got what they wanted, and they were all happy.

In addition, the outside swingman in the team, another non-sale item other than Chen Mu, Andre Iguodala, also had good news.

"80 million in 6 years! The Philadelphia Titans will successfully renew their contract! ”

The new contract was successfully negotiated, which made Chen Mu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

According to Iguodala's contract, he was already able to negotiate a contract extension with the team last offseason. But at that time, Iguodala turned down the contract offered by Philadelphia and decided to use another year of great performances to get a bigger contract for himself.

Although it was a pleasure to partner with Chen Mu, the team has gradually become regular, and everything seems to be developing in a great direction. But if people don't die for themselves, and can get a better contract, who wouldn't fight for it?

Fortunately, the results were good.

Iguodala has been more recognized by Philadelphia management for another season of brilliant performances on both ends of the floor. Considering Iguodala's physical condition and age, a long-term contract of 80 million yuan for 6 years. Both parties are satisfied.

In this way, the reason for Philadelphia to make the previous deal is even stronger.

"Extremely shrewd!"

In terms of the Philadelphia City Newspaper, Justin, who has become the absolute main force of the NBA section of the City Newspaper, conducted a column analysis and gave the following judgments.

"Next season, Chen's poison contract will enter the third year of the team's absolute core, and the salary will rise significantly from about $5 million a year to a maximum salary of 15 million a year. The sudden increase in salary pressure of 10 million will have a big impact on Philadelphia, and the overall salary structure is somewhat tight. ”

"If you stay in Durham Porter. Tens of millions of contracts a year will lock up Philadelphia's salary space for years to come, and it will bring a lot of resistance to recruitment. And now that the deal is successful, next summer, more than 8 million contracts will expire, and Chen's contract can still be satisfied, and the team can also have more room to pursue a player with a middle-class contract or so to enrich the team's strength. ”

Justin is no longer the young journalist who yearns for the NBA but doesn't know much about it. This column analysis hits the nail on the head, deconstructing the Philadelphia deal from the perspective of salary space that few people have discovered. It can be described as a unique perspective and full of personal insights.

And, after next season, Kyle Cornwall's salary will be in the $5 million mark. If Philadelphia still has Durham Porter's contract at that time. It will undoubtedly become more stretched when it comes to trading reinforcements or signing free agents. ”

"Philadelphia's payroll is very 'healthy' these days, Chen and Andre are both on multi-million contracts, and Webber's nineteen million contract was on Philadelphia's books last season. The next season will also end with the expiration of the contract. As a result, Philadelphia only has 20 million contracts, and the players corresponding to these two 10 million contracts. It is the team's future internal and external duo, who are very young. To be able to control Philadelphia's salary structure so perfectly in just a few years, in addition to thanking the new manager Stefansky, we also have to pay tribute to the departing Billy King. ”

"Although you don't treat your wife well, you still do a lot of work to Philadelphia!"

Haha, I also know to tease Billikin.

Chen Mu looked at the online version of the city newspaper and couldn't help laughing.

However, Justin has done a good job, and in this case, remember to thank Billikin, which is also a very gentlemanly attitude and should be encouraged.

"Except for Chen and Andre, the rest of Philadelphia's contracts are under 10 million, and the space turnover is very healthy. As you can imagine, by this time next year, the team will have plenty of room to do two very important things. ”

"The first is to find the right player in the trade market, and in the free agent market, and sign him on a full mid-range contract."

"The second is to negotiate with Chen in advance to see if we can lock in the future of the team as soon as possible."

Justin, there is still a vision.

After reading Justin's comment, Chen Mu couldn't help but nod his head and expressed his appreciation for the young man's insight.

That's right, space.

In this deal, being able to have the opportunity to get Curry is naturally what Chen Mu is most concerned about. But Stefansky is not a fool, using a defensive center who can also contribute two doubles per game in exchange for a few players who can't be used, this kind of boring thing, Stefansky will not let go and do it.

Even before taking office, the team's shareholders had already given a request for Stefansky to promise to match the pace of the Chinese kid as much as possible, and try to win him as much as possible no matter what the core of the team wants.

But as a professional manager, Stefansky is not stupid enough to say whatever the backbone says. Even if it was Chen Mu's suggestion, he had to weigh it first and think about it before agreeing.

It's just that since he came to Philadelphia, Chen Mudu has not given any very unreliable advice.

That draft pick left it alone and said the salary space that was free, and that alone gave Stefansky enough reason to make the deal.

Philadelphia is not New York, not Dallas, and there is no boss who burns money like water and does not care. Philadelphia has a large ball market, and it is also a historical city in the United States, but the 76ers have never been a team that completely ignores the record, signs whoever is good, and throws dollars at the future.

As a manager, the team's record is important, and the mood of the backbone is also important, but the most important thing is to bring benefits to shareholders.

Since Iverson's departure, Philadelphia's ball market has plummeted, and Webb, who was paired with Iverson to match Iverson, has also left early, leaving a huge contract burden, making Philadelphia's finances struggling and almost running a deficit.

Fortunately, Chen Mu appeared.

Chen Mu, who was born suddenly, successfully took over the mantle of Iverson, although the style of play and position are completely different, but the fighting spirit in the hearts of the two players and the fighting spirit of not admitting defeat make fans seem to vaguely see the shadow of the glory of the past.

SINCE THEN, THE RESULTS HAVE PICKED UP, THE BALL MARKET HAS PICKED UP, THE SPECTACLE OF SMALL BALL AND QUICK COUNTER-ATTACK TACTICS, AND THE FLYING "ATTACK-THE-RIM" STYLE OF ATTACK HAVE PUT THE PHILADELPHIA 76ERS' TEAM OPERATIONS BACK ON TRACK. Chen Mu's high popularity and Chinese background have made the team's home ticket sales popular all the way, and the home advertising is in short supply.

Especially after the completion of the Black Seven Miracle in this year's playoffs, the commercial value of the 76ers team and Chen Mu himself have risen rapidly. Not to mention anything else, the surge in Chen Mu's personal business endorsement contracts has already made the 76-person management who received dividends and commissions, as well as the agent Duffy, smile from ear to ear.

The Philadelphia 76ers are on the right path.

This is the consensus of everyone in the American sports circle.

Making money has always been the most concerned thing for bigwigs who invest in the business sports circle. Now that the U.S. knife has a lot of income, the bigwigs are smiling, and no matter what decision Stefansky makes, the shareholders will ask:

"Have you consulted Chen? What does he think? ”

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

As soon as he took office, Stefansky made a series of beautiful moves, and his heart was happy and worried.

I am happy, naturally because my work has been recognized, the bigwigs are satisfied, and my bonus is naturally easy to say.

I was worried because I was afraid that one day, if Chen Mu had the idea of leaving Philadelphia, what would I do?

Let's serve this master well!

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, another work of Chen Mu's "imperial approval" is also progressing smoothly. Although there are still some details that need to be discussed, the general direction has been set.

On August 20, 2008, the morning of the quarter-finals of the men's basketball game of the Beijing Olympic Games, on the evening of the same day, U.S. time, Philadelphia officially announced that it had reached a preliminary agreement with Rick Carlisle, the former best coach who had been at home for a year.

Next season, Philadelphia 76ers coach, Carlisle!

This is another piece of news that surprised many outsiders, before the Philadelphia announcement, the idle Mavericks owner Cuban had revealed the news on his personal social network, saying that the Mavericks were in contact with a famous coach and were about to reach a contract. But who exactly is, Kuban did not directly name.

"He's young, but no matter what team he comes to, he can bring something new to that team, and he can always bring the strong team to the next level, and the weak team will turn over. I'm looking forward to working with him! ”

Although this sentence is not very pointed, but after a rough look at the list of young coaches available today, it is not difficult to find that it is Carlisle.

Now that Philadelphia is officially announced, naturally there will be no lies, and it seems that Cuban is going to cry and faint in the toilet again.

"About 18 million in 4 years, the bigwigs have already nodded!"

Before the start of the game, Chen Mu received Stefansky's news of crossing the ocean, and his heart was excited, and he replied with a cheering expression and turned off his mobile phone.

Very good!

The club's problem is solved, so I'll leave it alone for the time being.

Next, the knockout!

"Warm up!"

Younas said a word, and the players of the Chinese team got up one after another, sorted out their jerseys and pants, held their heads high, and walked to the field. (To be continued.) )

PS: The coach got it!
