Chapter 129 Young people want to go to the top, how can they do it without any ability (4.4K(2/2)
"How is the team's current lineup?"
Speaking of this, Thomas was just sucking his teeth. In his opinion, the Knicks' current lineup is almost bankrupt.
"The starting lineup, center Zach Randolph, power forward David Lee, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Jamal Crawford, point guard Nate Robinson."
The strength sounds good. If it is all in its peak period, it is OK with the small cannon.
"Where is the substitute?"
"Quentin Richardson, who can play small forwards and point guards, dunk king Fred Jones, Kyle Lowry, who just traded, is all role players."
Tsk, what a fool, this is just a bad lineup!
The team's superstar Du Xiaoshuai was called Tie Du in the first season. He couldn't hold the ball and shot too hard.
Keyes suddenly realized a problem:
"We Knicks won't even get the poor line, right?"
Tell a big joke, the Knicks didn't reach the Poor Line!
Alvin sighed beside him and said:
"The league's salary cap this year is 55.63 million, the luxury tax trigger line is 67.865 million, the poor line is 41.723 million, and the middle class clause is 5.356 million.
As for our Knicks, the current salary this year is Zach Randolph 13.33 million, David Lee 990, Kevin Durant 4.17 million, Jamal Crawford 7.92 million, Nate Robinson 1.27 million, Quentin Richardson 8.11 million, Kyle Lowry 1.08 million, and Fred Jones 4.6 million.
Add some role players, and then sign two people to make up for the big roster. Our salary will be around 45 million, just past the poor line."
Jerry West next to him took over the conversation:
"If I hadn't tried to spend 7 million to buy out several players, even if we traded Stephen Marbury and Eddie Curry, our salary would be around 63 million, and we would have almost encountered luxury taxes, and we would have spent 30 to 40 million in the next two years."
Keys is also lingering in fear. He is rich and generous in his actions, but it does not mean that he is willing to give it to others for nothing!
"It's already very good. Last year, the Knicks' salary was still more than 116 million yuan, which exceeded two luxury taxes.
This year, we will make the net worth of Randolph, Richardson and others, and the salary will be vacant next year. We will continue David and Lee and others and we will choose rookies.
With Jerry, you, the man Le, our Knicks' rise is not far away."
"Boss, you have a good vision, I think Kevin Durant can become a superstar."
Kice smiled at Jerry West's words:
"Since you said I have a good vision, I happen to have a choice here. PJ Tucker, who was selected by the Raptors at the 35th pick in the second round last year and was cut this year.
I think he has the potential to become a 3D player, that is, three-pointers plus defense, stable three-pointers, and the potential of the outside defense gate.
It's not expensive anyway. He doesn't have a ball to play. He can get it done with 4 million in 5 years. The signing is longer, so he won't be able to sign a big contract after practicing. It's just 4 million, just a lower guarantee.
I'm not short of money, but I have to see if it's worth it."
This year's basic salary is about 700,000 players of one year, and the basic salary can only be signed for two years, so if the Knicks sign for 5 years, it will exceed this number.
pj Tucker, this is a late-achieving player who works hard and has a stable three-pointer, a big defense gate on the outside, and a champion puzzle type.
It depends on whether he can practice it. If he can practice it, he will stay. If he can’t practice it, he will cut it. Let him work hard slowly.
"Okay, I'll contact him later." Isaiah Thomas said.
"By the way, how much money does the team still have?"
Speaking of this Jerry West smiled:
"You don't have to worry about the boss in this regard. The Knicks are so bad, but they have never been short of money. Although James Dolan took some away when he left, he still left nearly 50 million.
And I bought the tickets this year well, which have exceeded 80 million, and it is estimated that it will reach 150 million this year."
The Knicks tickets are the most expensive, with an average ticket price of about $80 this year, and the Madison Square Garden Arena seats are 19,763.
Even if there were 15,000 spectators per 82 regular season games, there would be 100 million in that season.
Moreover, the Knicks don’t have many season tickets. The season tickets are just to spend money to buy a seat for a season. On average, they will be cheaper. Focus games and special games will increase prices.
Even if you want to give some to the alliance, you can leave a lot. As for taxes, tax card!
There is no need to worry about the Knicks' attendance rate. Some people in New York are rich, and Case has become the new boss this year. Jerry West is here. I guess they want to see how they lose.
New York fans are the most unconventional. They will brag if they play well, and they will scold if they don’t play well. Even if they play well, they will scold if they don’t like them, but they are willing to spend money.
You said they were okay, they were very annoying, you said they were not good, and this bad team can support you. Tsk, I really love it!
Case sent the others away, and then came to the training ground with Jerry West and others.
Du Xiaoshuai had just finished shooting a ball and suddenly saw the two of them. He hurriedly ran over and said respectfully to Jerry West:
"Mr. West."
Jerry West signaled to Case next to him:
"Don't just ask me, and ask the boss, it's the boss who advocates taking you to the Knicks."
"Hello boss."
Keith looked at Du Xiaoshuai's dazed look and was a little funny.
"Then what?"
Durant was a little nervous and confused, what happened?
"I'm a little thin, I have to practice. You can't withstand James's impact like this, stand up straight."
Durant's conditioned stand straight.
"Fingers are straight."
Case took two steps back and looked at it. The tip of his hand was about ten centimeters away from his knee, which was not as good as his knee!
However, he was a little hunched and shot at some angles, and it was probably really up to his knees.
A normal person's arm span is the same as his height, and his arm span is 20cm longer than his height.
"Tell me honestly, how tall is?"
Durant scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed:
"Six feet eleven."
2.1 meters, no wonder I'm afraid of playing inside the inside and not trying to measure high.
"I think you are still the leader. I don't think you are suitable for scoring guards!"
Durant was a little anxious. He really didn't want to go to the inside. He knew his body, but before he could speak, Case said:
"Go and play the small forward!"
Case walked to the court and picked up the basketball:
Chapter completed!
