Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth - Chapter 697
It was naturally Yi Jianlian’s idea to let Downey and James Harden renew their contract in advance. Although he didn’t want to mix in the selection of the management, James Harden was introduced by Downey intentionally at the beginning, and the deal has already been successful, so he naturally wanted Helping Downey identify this guy early, he naturally knows what kind of fighting power this guy with the ball can explode.
78 million in 5 years is definitely not a loss!
After listening to Yi Jianlian’s words, Downey naturally had to do it early. The reason is also very simple. Yi Jianlian’s contract for the new season is the second year of his contract, which means that he may be out of the contract after the new season next year.
So from now on, they will try their best to satisfy all the ideas of Yi Jianlian. After all, this can be regarded as building his team for Yi Jianlian.
He wants to renew James Harden as soon as possible, then renew James Harden as soon as possible, this is no problem!
It’s just that these thoughts and opinions given by Yi Jianlian are not known to James Harden. When he heard that Downey had just signed him to the Knicks, he had to renew his contract with him immediately. James Harden said he was not shocked. It is definitely impossible to be moved, and at this time, he was just abandoned by the Thunder. Downey told him that mentioning the contract extension gave him a feeling of meeting a confidant.
More importantly, the price that Downey signed with him is not low. The Thunder are only willing to give him 54 million yuan in 4 years, an average of only 13.5 million yuan per year, and he wants 60 million yuan in 4 years, which is 15 million yuan per year. The 78 million given by Nepal in 5 years is 15.6 million per year!
An annual salary of 600,000 more than he wanted!
Although it seems that 600,000 yuan a year is not a big deal, Harden knows that Downey’s giving 600,000 yuan a year in this case is an expression of his respect for himself!
So Harden did not hesitate at all, nodded and agreed to the renewal!
Five-year 78 million, plus this year and the final year of the rookie contract, a total of six years, which means that until 2018, James Harden will be a Knicks player.
This time is basically half of a player’s career!
But Harden doesn’t care, even if he has a full career in this team, there is no problem, because he feels the respect of the Knicks for him, which is the most important thing for him now!
…
The news that James Harden completed the contract extension with the New York Knicks was also reported two or three days later, and no one thought that the number was a bit too high for the five-year 78 million contract.
After all, James Harden himself wants 60 million in 4 years, and the fans don’t think it is a big deal. Now only an extra 600,000 is added every year. For the fans, the money is not much.
And as the New York Knicks have won two consecutive championships in the past two years, fans are no longer demeaning and mocking the Knicks management’s trade. They are all willing to believe in the decisions made by the Knicks management. .
In short, this is the NBA!
As long as there are achievements, whether it is for the fans or the management of the team, it is profitable and harmless. Everyone will understand the management’s approach.
And when the team’s performance is bad, no matter what the players selected by the management in the market at the beginning, and what the market was like at the time, everyone will say that they have signed a bad contract again.
These are actual situations.
“James Harden is a good addition, but the lineup against the Lakers is just one more James Harden shouldn’t work, right? I want to see more additions!”
“For the Knicks, if this year’s big deal is only James Harden, it will undoubtedly be disappointing!”
“I hope to see the Knicks’ follow-up trade. Although they have won two consecutive championships, the new season is definitely the biggest challenge for the entire team. If it is just this level of reinforcement, it is obviously Not enough!”
It’s just that for the Knicks fans, just one more James Harden deal is not what they want to see. What they want to see is more reinforcements and more changes. They want to see. Until the Knicks’ paper strength can compete with the Lakers, instead of waiting for the game to arrive, they have to consider what Yi Jianlian has to play before they can win.
To put it bluntly!
They want to see the Knicks also build a great team!
It’s best to get another star!
The current Knicks really need some big deals to complete better supplements. After all, in order to get James Harden, the Knicks completed a three-way transaction with the Thunder and the Timberwolves. They sent David West. And Draghi Wizards got James Harden, and an additional head Armstrong.
It’s just that James Harden may be able to make up for the vacancy left by Dragic, but Armstrong certainly can’t make up for the vacancy left by David West.
And at present, the contracts of many players on the Knicks are expired.
The current roster is not perfect. Downey didn’t rush to make the next deal~www.mtlnovel.com~ but glanced at the entire roster: the current guards are only James Harden, Thomas Jr. and Pete. The three of Ruth, and the small forwards are Yi Jianlian and Grant Hill. Because of David West’s departure, there is only one Armstrong who has just been traded. Stoudemire can play both power forwards and center forwards. Position, but his injury needs to come back in January of the new season, and what he can return to after not playing for more than a year is really worrying, so the fourth position must be supplemented. Of.
There is Tyson Chandler in the fifth position, and two new centers have been signed this year, but the performance of these two centers in the summer league is not so satisfactory. For this reason, Downey gave up signing these two. A center, if this is the case, the candidate for the center position also needs to be supplemented!
“This year is the inside line to be supplemented!”
Last year Downey’s main problem was the outside line, and this year’s Knicks’ main problem has become the inside line. Of course, if Stoudemire is not injured, he doesn’t need to worry about anything. It’s just that injuries are part of the game in the NBA. You can only go to the free market and need players that can be used!
There are still a lot of inside players in the free market this year, such as Garnett, Jeff Green, and Asik, all of which can be used at once.
But these players have their own problems. Garnett is already too old at present, and the injuries have been a bit frequent in the past two years. These injuries have also made him look old. These are not good news!
