After the Bobcats won the championship, in order to establish a dynasty, the most important thing this summer is to convince O'Neal and Boss Kee, as well as Roy and Aldridge to stay.

Boss Gi and O'Neal are now 37 years old and the other are 38 years old. At this age, it is indeed time to retire and enjoy life at any time.

In particular, both of them achieved their career goals this season.

In fact, the two do have the idea of ​​hanging up their boots after the end of this season, and they also have other plans for their future careers. For example, Boss Gi is already preparing to work as a coach in the NBA and continues his basketball career. As for O'Neal, he is already preparing to work in the media industry and has even signed a contract with TNT.

However, after in-depth exchanges with Chen Xiao, Boss Ki quickly agreed to play for another year. At the same time, Boss Ki will also serve as an assistant to Jordan and Cole, Old Curry in the Bobcats. He will usually participate more in the team's training, tactics and other coaching work. Although he does not have the title of a player and coach, he is the actual player and coach of the Bobcats.

There is also O'Neal. Chen Xiao did not call O'Neal and asked him to stay for another year. Instead, after Kid announced that he would continue his career with the Bobcats, O'Neal took the initiative to tell the team that he was willing to play for another year, but O'Neal had the conditions and hoped that he could work part-time on TNT's media.

It means that O'Neal hopes to arrange his time freely, participate in competitions if he wants to participate in the competition, and participate in media work if he wants to participate in media work. If others have such a request, Bobcats and Jordan will definitely not agree.

But O'Neal is different. It's not that he has different importance to the team, but that he really doesn't need to play every game with the Bobcats.

His time has always been very free. However, last season, even if he didn't play games, he had to fly around with the team. Now, if he has media work, he doesn't have to fly around with the team.

This is of course acceptable.

In fact, among O'Neal's conditions, the most difficult thing to accept is O'Neal's hope that the program he hosts can track everything about the Bobcats next season, including the ability to enter the locker room.

Anyone who knows the NBA knows that the team's locker room is the most private place and is absolutely not allowed to intervene by others and the media.

Therefore, Boss Qiao was very hesitant about O'Neal's request.

Why not refuse, but hesitation?

Because the Bobcats are different from other teams.

The Bobcats' locker room does not have so many conflicts, nor does it have so many misfortunes and undercurrents.

Chen Xiao has always decided on the locker room of the Bobcats alone. Everyone has a very harmonious relationship. Even if they are exposed to the sun, there seems to be no problem.

And as TNT and O'Neal said, if the Bobcats are willing to open locker rooms for TNT and audiences around the United States, the Bobcats will gain a lot of attention next season.

This is something Jordan, as the team owner, is difficult to refuse.

There are few disadvantages of opening a locker room, but there are many benefits. To be honest, Jordan is still very moved.

But, the same thing is true, opening the locker room is not enough for him, the boss, to agree, and Chen Xiao's consent is also required.

Although Jordan's reputation was already at its peak after leading the Bobcats to win the championship twice, his promise to Chen Xiao has not changed. Chen Xiao still has the final say on the team's major matters.

And Chen Xiao did not refuse in this matter.

Of course, Chen Xiao knew that after opening the locker room, showing everything about the team with such a big fanfare not only made the team lose its secrets, but also attracted a lot of firepower, making others think that the Bobcats are too arrogant, just like fighting a landlord, and they are just a clear card.

If the Bobcats fail to win the championship next season, it will definitely become a laughing stock in the whole world.

Just like in history, Barcelona, ​​who has been in the football world for 19 years, had Liverpool 3-0 at home in the Champions League and was reversed 4-0 by Liverpool away. Barcelona, ​​which opened the locker room, collapsed directly after the failure.

The whole world knows that after you were shockingly reversed, who would have the expression of someone, who would have cried again, and who would have to stand it.

Originally, there are both losses and losses. If you lose, just lick your wounds privately. Now your embarrassment in licking your wounds is exposed to the whole world, which is really a serious injury.

Even a little boy said directly that after losing, he wanted to disappear from the world.

At that moment, Barcelona wanted to disappear from the world, not only the one who wanted to disappear from the world. After all, although the court is not so clean, it is definitely a determined player.

Even Brother Ya can't stand it, so there is no need to mention others.

However, in the end, Chen Xiao agreed that opening the locker room was stress, but actually motivation.

It depends on what you think.

Chen Xiao felt that for those who wanted to establish a dynasty, there was no way out.

The locker room was opened and the final failure was the biggest victim, and he was willing to bear this pressure.

After meeting the requirements of Boss Kee and O'Neal and allowing them to stay with the Bobcats for two years and play for another year, the Bobcats will start working on the renewal of Aldridge and Roy.

The Bobcats now have a total of 15 players, among which only Chen Xiao and Granger are carrying large contracts. Chen Xiao will have a maximum salary of 18 million next season.

The contract signed by Granger and the team is 60 million in five years and 11 million in the next season.

In addition, others are either middle-class, rookie contracts or basic salary. However, the Bobcats' rookies have both low picks, so next season, the Bobcats will be ranked with Roy and Aldridge, and the total salary of others is about 50 million.

It can be seen that the Bobcats' salary space is quite healthy.

Therefore, this time, the Bobcats can offer annual salary of more than 10 million yuan, and they will never let the two of them down.

After all, in business, no one will be unable to get along with money, and Chen Xiao will not interfere in his younger brothers' contract renewal work, especially at this critical moment.

Because the whole world knows that after the next labor-cap agreement, the alliance's salary cap will rise sharply, and when will the next labor-cap agreement be?

It happened to be in 2011.

If it is just a re-sign of the labor and capital agreement, the salary of the player will not actually increase much. The key is that the new media broadcast contract also began in 2011.

The NBA's broadcast contract is now an over-contract of US$2.5 billion after the expiration of the 2008-2009 season. Because the NBA's popularity in the United States soared, it is difficult for both parties to evaluate how big the next contract is, so I will go over it for the time being.

In 2007, the two parties signed a two-year, 2.5 billion over-broadcast contract.

In 2009, after two years of negotiations, the two sides finally agreed to a 9-year broadcast contract of US$240, which will be implemented from the 2011-2012 season.

24 billion in 9 years, exceeding 2.7 billion every year, almost twice the previous one.

Such a huge wave of water has entered the NBA's salary pool. Even if the share of the labor-management agreement players remains unchanged, the salary of NBA players will soar.

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Xiao's five-year contract ended in 2010-2011. Many people predict that if Chen Xiao's next contract is signed with the Bobcats and has all the rights and interests of all players such as Bird Rights, he can sign up to a 5-year contract of 200 million yuan, becoming the first NBA contract 200 million yuan.

I have to say that the rookies in 2002 did catch up with a good time.

Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Wade and Ron Howard, the four kings of the 2002 class are considered the biggest winners. When the big contract is opened, they can get the biggest contract.

The second benefit is the 2007 class led by Durant and Oden. In 2011, their rookie contract expired and they could sign a big contract. Although it is not as big as Chen Xiao and the others, considering that this is their second contract, the future will be very cool.

The NBA's super contract era is coming soon. Since there are benefits, there are also unlucky ones.

The 2006 rookies led by Roy and Aldridge are definitely the most unlucky.

In 2010, their rookie contract expired, which was the last night that fell before the light.

It is precisely because of this that many rookies in the 2006 class are seeking maximum salary renewals.

Maximum salary of 85 million in 5 years.

Although the 2006 rookies signed contracts when the era of major contracts came, not everyone could get a maximum salary of 30 million yuan, and there might not even be none. After all, it seems that the strongest rookies in 2006 are Roy and Aldridge.

However, even if you cannot sign a five-year, 150 million contract in the era of a large contract, signing a five-year, 100 million contract is easy for both of you, right?

In fact, there are still many players who are able to sign a five-year, 100 million contract during a major contract, such as Roy, Aldridge, Celtic Adam Morrison, Rudy Guy, and Bagnany.

So, you guys say, are these players getting more angry the more they think about it?

Of course, in the end, these players will choose either to sign 3+1 with the option of leading players, or to sign 5 years with the maximum salary.

The team may not be willing to do this 3+1, but the team is willing to do this for 5 years, but the players are not very willing. The final result is that the high-quality players in the 2006 class are seeking maximum salary signing, the kind that is 85 million in 5 years.

As the two strongest players in the 2006 class, Roy and Aldridge are naturally the first to bear the brunt.

And that's the difficulty of the Bobcats renewing Roy and Aldridge.

Give Roy 85 million for 5 years. There is no problem with this, and there is no resistance in the team. After all, Chen Xiao’s contract is about to expire. As the team’s actual leader, Roy enjoys the team’s highest contract, so there is no problem with this.

But Aldridge has some problems.

Because, Granger's feelings need to be taken into account.

Granger was a rookie in 2005. He actually fell before dawn. Although the 2005 class was not as unlucky as the 2006 class, it was actually almost the same.

After all, in 2008, everyone in the NBA saw that the next contract would be big, and Granger naturally knew it when he renewed his contract with the Bobcats.

Of course, he can also seek a 5-year max salary renewal like Bynum and Monta Ellis in the same class, or a 3+1 contract renewal of 70 million like Delon. As the best rookie in 2005, Delon signed a 3+1 player option with the Bulls. This is a force to sign the Bulls. As the Bulls' current boss, he has the qualification to force the team.

Although Granger does not have the influence of the team like Deron, he expressed his unwillingness to stay with the Bobcats, gave up the right to birds, and sought a deal. The Bobcats sent him away and he signed with the next team and could achieve the goal of 3+1.

But Granger didn't do that. Not only did he choose to sign a five-year contract with Bobcat, but he was not a maximum salary. In order to respect Chen Xiao, he signed 60 million for 5 years.

The reason why Granger made this choice is because he is indeed grateful, not only to Chen Xiao, but also to Jordan.

He felt that as a rookie who was not so optimistic, he had been thanks to his master Jordan and his half of his master Chen Xiao.

Faced with a player like Granger who gives the team great respect to both the boss and the head coach, do you have to consider his feelings and dignity?

In the Bobcats, the team's status is of course Chen Xiao.

Except for the two veterans Kidd and O'Neal.

The remaining star players, Rose, is the second-ranked team leader in Jordan's mind, and is also the second-ranked team leader recognized by everyone.

Next are Rose and Granger.

Ross's strength is obvious to all, and he is also the top scorer. Although he is in the first place, he ranks ahead of Granger.

Aldridge is going to be under Granger and Ross again.

This is easy to understand. Last season, the Bobcats Chen Xiao, Kidd, O'Neal, Rose, Granger, and Roy were all selected as All-Stars, but Aldridge was not selected.

In this case, if you use the maximum salary when you renew Aldridge, isn’t this a bit disrespectful to Granger?

If Roy and Aldridge are renewed with a five-year, 85 million contract, the Bobcats' total salary will exceed 80 million US dollars next season, and they will have to pay a luxury tax of more than 10 million US dollars. Of course, Jordan and the Bobcats are willing to pay, willing to keep Aldridge and Roy.

Even giving Aldridge a maximum salary and doing work to Granger. After all, Granger and Aldridge are not the relationship between Randolph and Dalius Myers. At the time, at the Trail Blazers, because of the contract size comparison, Randolph and Miles broke up.
