Many people, whenever they see that the Seattle Supersonics have so many talented and young genius players, will find it difficult to suppress their jealousy. Now the top five teams in the league record are not built up by salary. Except for the Seattle Supersonics and the San Antonio Spurs, the salary expenditure of that team is above the luxury tax line.

There are teams with so many talented young players, but there are no teams with such excellent record and reasonable salary structure. However, the one who can win the league first place, had only one San Antonio Spurs, but now it has become the Seattle Supersonics.

In the past, some players in the San Antonio Spurs performed well every year, and then left because the Spurs could not give the contract he wanted. Although many people think that if the Spurs spend a little more money to keep them, the Spurs still insist on cultivating players for other teams without any repentance. Even their important hero of the three consecutive championships, and the young and potential Stephen did not stay. I don’t know how many fans regret it.

So many fans think that the decline of the Spurs in the past two seasons is that this is retribution, and it is caused by your failure to keep Stephen. It depends on how powerful the Supersonics are now, and their record has risen to a new level every year. Last playoffs can be said to have been a setback. This season, the Spurs have been eliminated early and played in the Western Conference Finals last season. This season, the Supersonics can only be seen playing in the Western Conference Finals.

The biggest contributor to the Seattle Supersonics is so successful? In the eyes of fans, Stephen is undoubtedly Stephen. In the eyes of the team's boss and management, the biggest contributor can only be Prestino. His draft, his trading operations, and his management of the team fully reflect the three words "stable, accurate, and ruthless". Stability refers to the team's operation and operation. Due to the red line of luxury tax, even a wealthy team cannot take money seriously. Therefore, for the general manager of a team, trading under luxury tax is like dancing with shackles, it is not easy. However, Prestie's several transactions did not allow the team to break through the luxury tax, and effectively enhanced the team's strength. Moreover, the teams that were exchanged were relatively young players, which was conducive to the long-term development of the team.

What is even more commendable is his talented vision. Last season, Kevin Durant was the second best, but won the best rookie. At the same time, many experts considered the player with the most development potential in this class. If it were not for Stephen's suppression, his personal data might even rise further. Russell Westbrook and Sergeibar, who have been selected this season, were both considered to have lived up to their draft picks.

You should know that these signs are not the highest signs. Being able to select such an excellent player in the middle signing position is very particular about the general manager's draft vision. Some people think Russell Westbrook are not particularly outstanding, but his performance just now proves that Russell Westbrook is far from as simple as they said.

During the intermission, the commentary team introduced the contract limit, salary scale and salary structure of the main players of the current Supersonics team.

Stephen has two years of contract, and Kevin Durant also has two years. If no unexpected situation occurs, the two players, Supersonics, will use the maximum salary contract to keep them. The next contract, Stephen's starting salary is more than 16 million yuan, while Kevin Durant's starting salary is more than 12 million US dollars. The addition of two people will basically be 30 million US dollars. If both of them renew their contracts for six years, the final two people will be 50 million US dollars, which is far beyond the growth rate of the salary cap. However, that will happen a long time later, and even the management does not need to consider it for so long.

Because Yao Ming's five-year contract is only two years now, his salary has reached 15 million. If the contract renewal is still above 10 million yuan, it will be a big burden for the team, because the salary of their Big Three will be above 40 million yuan.

In addition to the two of them, Kupad Jalanet Jack and Channing Fry will sign a contract renewal next season. Kupad's contract should be above the middle class. If you consider that Russell Westbrook is available, the Supersonics will definitely not spend a big price to keep Jalanet Jack, so he and Channing Fry may not continue to stay in the Supersonics in the future. Apart from the three of them, the other main players have relatively long contract years.

Russell Westbrook and Sergeibar have three years to stay in this team. In addition to the contracts of others, the Supersonics will not be too worried about maintaining the current main lineup at least in the next two seasons. Of course, the salary may be a little overspending in the later period, but Jerome James' contract expires again. If you do a little more salary reduction transaction, you will probably be able to reduce your salary to a luxury tax. Of course, it is hard to say whether the Supersonics, who have changed the boss, still need to do that.

No boss will say this publicly. Outsiders can only guess through many of their performances. For example, many of the Rockets' transactions are not obvious and people know that they are done to reduce their salary, because if they don't do it, they may exceed the luxury tax incentive line. This is the case every year, and it can be guessed that their red line should not be exceeded, no matter how Alexander did it when facing the media or fans.

What kind of team will this Supersonic team be now? It is not obvious because the time is still short. Even if they trade Yao Ming, it is unlikely that they will exceed the luxury tax excitation line. However, judging from Chris Hanson's net worth, they should not be as sluggish as the Spurs, Rockets, and Suns. However, it seems that they will be generous to the level of Mark Cuban, Old Bass, and even James Dolan. It seems that hope is not very big.

Because Chris Hanson is a shrewd investor and has no love for basketball, he just bought this team out of his local identity, so even if the team does not bring him any benefits, he will not want the team to lose money and use his own money to lose money.

But no matter what, just by the current achievements of the Super Sonics team, you can confirm Presti's ability. As expected, there is the Spurs' style. It can be said that with Presti's performance, the Spurs' management talents will inevitably be favored by other teams. At present, several teams have such plans.

Since the Supersonics are currently leading for the moment, the atmosphere is very relaxed in the Supersonics locker room, because the Lakers are not playing very well today. Although they have been resisting, the strength of the resistance is nothing at all. I just experienced the hard battle with the Denver Nuggets. The cruelty of today's game is nothing at all, and they all feel relatively relaxed. Calesimo also felt that there was nothing to say, but after a few words, he gave the players a good rest.

Stephen felt that this game was a bit intense and insufficient, but Stephen was also puzzled. Could it be that they fought with the Dallas Mavericks too fiercely, which made them feel a little physically and mentally exhausted? So they played so passionately in this game. After thinking about it, Stephen felt that this explanation was quite reasonable and the possibility was the greatest, and the other possibilities were really not great.

Because even Kobe Bryant didn't play very hard in this game. The whole first half was like playing soy sauce. I don't know what kind of performance he would have in the second half. Since the beginning of the fight with Kobe Bryant, Stephen has never seen Kobe Bryant perform so poorly.

Before the start of the second half, Caresimo came to ask Stephen about his physical feelings. Because Kobe Bryant was not excited, Stephen did not exert much effort, so he naturally would not be tired. However, Stephen considered that Kobe Bryant might start to get angry at the second half, and the team played more easily now, and he was still on the court, which was also a kind of suppression on other teammates, so Stephen said that he wanted to sit off the court and rest and let other people play first.

Calesimo didn't say anything and didn't ask Stephen's reason, so he went to arrange people directly. As for whom he arranged to play, this is the right of the head coach Calesimo. Stephen naturally would not interfere. Calesimo respects Stephen very much, and Stephen naturally respects Calesimo very much. The two maintain a rare balance.

When the game started, he suddenly watched Kobe Bryant sitting off the court, and the two looked at each other from a distance. Both of them were privileged players. They should have made their own choices when they could sit off the court and rest without being tired. I don’t know what situation Kobe Bryant made such a choice. You must know that they are now behind, but it seems that he is not in a hurry.

Of course, Stephen would not be anxious, because after the start of the second half, with the joint performance of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, the gap in the score was not narrowed by the Lakers and widened, especially Russell Westbrook, who appeared at the shooting guard position, against Shannon Brown.

With a strong physique, amazing bounce, and excellent upper limb strength, Shannon Brown is not inferior to Russell Westbrook in terms of physical fitness. Moreover, the two people are close in height, and he is not at a disadvantage in terms of speed and agility. However, his defense did not limit Russell Westbrook, but was restricted by Russell Westbrook in a tight manner.

On the Chinese Valentine's Day, Xinghan Xianxian, I wish all lovers can spend a happy and passionate night tonight. Pleasure and happiness are the unremitting pursuit of mankind, and I hope everyone can enjoy it.
