NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

The birth of the new clause is almost as if it was specially set up for Wang Zelin alone.

In China, the official media and the commentator of the Imperial TV directly named this clause the "Wang Zelin Clause" on social media. In North America, the media combined the newly introduced hard salary cap with this clause and combined it. Summarized as "King's Agreement"!

The reason why the United States chose this name is simply because Wang Zelin’s own English name on social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook is called King. In translation, it means King.

As a result, fans from the two places completely reached a consensus on the naming of the new terms.

Seeing this situation, NBA officials followed suit and asked Vice President Tan Huiming to announce at a press conference that the league had officially named the designated veteran clause the Wang Zelin/King clause.

As we all know, the NBA is a business league, and a business league must set up many rules and terms in order to allow players and teams to obtain their respective benefits.

Before this, the NBA had produced six clauses named after players, all of which had a profound impact on the future development of the NBA.

In chronological order, the first one to appear is the Larry Bird Clause, also known as Bird Rights:

The NBA has a salary cap system for teams. The existence of this system can very well prevent the emergence of super teams. As for the salary cap, one must mention the "Bird Rights", which is called the "Bird Clause" "The content is that players who have played for a team for more than three years can sign a maximum salary contract with the team and can renew the contract beyond the salary cap.

And using this clause to renew the contract of the veteran can also give the team a larger contract than other teams, giving the team an advantage in renewing the player!

The second is the Arenas clause:

Rookie contracts in the NBA are divided into first-round contracts and second-round contracts. The first-round contract is a 4-year contract, while the second-round contract is a 2-year contract. Arenas was selected in the second round that year. In his second grade, he scored 18.3+4.7+6.3.

Since his contract is about to expire and the Warriors are unable to offer him a matching new contract, he has no choice but to leave! This contract was formulated to prevent such a situation from happening again, so that the team can better retain outstanding second-round players and better protect the interests of the parent team.

The third is the Houston clause:

The main reason for the creation of this clause is that he signed a 6-year, 100 million contract with the team at that time. However, before the contract expired, he announced his retirement, and the team still wanted to give him the remaining money. The lower salary, crucially, also accounts for the team's salary cap.

This clause was introduced after discussion, that is, the team can choose to lay off a player, and the player's salary will not be included in the salary cap.

The fourth is the Payton clause:

The terms were born when the Greens traded him to the Hawks. After Payton completed the buyout with the Hawks, he quickly signed back to the Greens. Such an operation undoubtedly directly angered the league, so it was formulated. This clause stipulated that players who were waived by the team in a trade were not allowed to sign with the original team for 30 days, and the offseason was 20 days. Later, it was modified again, and the 30 days during the season was changed to 30 days during the season. Players were not allowed to sign with the original team during the current season. !

The fifth is the Roth clause:

This clause is when a rookie becomes the MVP during the rookie contract or makes two consecutive All-Star starts or is selected to the All-NBA Team two consecutive times. After being satisfied, the rookie will sign a contract with the team that accounts for 30% of the team's salary cap after the contract ends.

Although the conditions for Rose's clause are difficult to meet, many stars have benefited from it. What's more interesting is that Durant is the first player to receive this clause.

The sixth is the Rondo clause:

This clause is different from the above related to salary. This clause was because Rondo only played 38 games due to injury, but in the end he won the assists title with 11.1 assists. This undoubtedly made many players feel dissatisfied and felt that he was out of the game. There are too few games and there is no gold content.

Therefore, the league stipulated that players must participate in more than 70% of the games before they can be selected for the final award. If they do not play in 70% of the games, the data must be converted to 70% before they can participate!

It can be said that the emergence of the above six clauses has made great contributions to improving the NBA's rule system. Being named after it is a great move that can be recorded in history.

So far, the seventh clause in NBA history named after a player has been born, namely - Wang Zelin/King Clause!

After this clause was announced, fans and the media were extremely excited, because multiple cases mean that there will be multiple super maximum salaries this summer.

The fans are purely enjoying themselves, while the media is mainly excited about the explosive popularity this summer.

Anyone in the media knows that more popularity means more money!

But... what everyone is waiting for first is not the super-maximum contract extension between a certain player and a certain team, but the birth of the first blockbuster deal this summer.

On June 21, the Atlanta Hawks sent former All-Star center Dwight Howard and this year's No. 31 draft pick to the Charlotte Hornets, and received Miles Plumlee and Marco Berry. Nellie and this year's No. 41 draft pick.

After all, Howard was the league's No. 1 center before Wang Zelin. Although the sun is fading, his power is still there. In addition, this was the first blockbuster trade of the NBA offseason in the summer of 2017, which instantly attracted a lot of attention.

This is Howard's third team in three years after playing for the Mosaics, Hawks and Hornets the past two seasons. This past season, the 31-year-old Howard played a total of 74 games for the Hawks, averaging 13:05 points and 12.7 rebounds per game. Last year, he just signed a three-year contract worth 7,050 million yuan with the Hawks. The Hornets became Howard's 13th year. The fifth ball of his NBA career.

The former number one center has gradually become a **** in the league, which is still somewhat disappointing.

Just when everyone thought that the trade between the Hawks and the Hornets was the first shot in the free trade market this offseason, and that big trades would follow one after another, another blockbuster news swept the league, once again pushing Wang Zelin to the top. Public opinion is at the forefront.

…

Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, New York.

NBA players union headquarters.

Just after the league announced the change of president, issued a hard salary cap agreement and introduced new terms, the NBA Players Association also held a formal meeting in Manhattan, New York.

It is not difficult to understand from the words that this union is an organization that represents labor and management in bargaining negotiations and safeguards the economic interests and legitimate rights and interests of players.

The union was founded in 1954, but it took them 10 days to get the union to accept their existence.

In August 2013, Chris Paul became the 14th president in the history of the NBA Players Association. According to regulations, the players union will conduct elections for the president and vice president of the union every four years.

The four-year period has arrived, and it’s time for the chairman to be re-elected!

There are currently two options available.

One is to let Paul continue to be re-elected, which is also the wish of many veteran stars, including James, the current union chief vice president.

Another option is to introduce a new candidate for the union president.

This is the thought of the new generation of stars and many middle- and lower-level players after 2010, because the current labor agreement and super maximum salary are for the benefit of the elite, that is, the super giants.

In particular, Jackson's introduction of the King's Clause further expanded this aspect.

It’s still the classic concept of dividing the cake. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.com The salary cap of a team is only so much. When superstars occupy more of the team’s salary space, it means that the salary space of middle and lower-level players will naturally be reduced. will decrease.

Wang Zelin, as the first person in the alliance, was also invited to the meeting.

Both plans had their own supporters, and neither side could convince the other. The entire conference room froze for a moment.

"King, what do you think?"

During the dispute, Oladipo, who supported the selection of the new chairman, turned to look at Wang Zelin, who was about to doze off.

Oladipo is known as the Bitter Mamba. He is not only a leader among active young defenders, but also a representative of active middle and lower-level players.

His speech caused others to turn their attention to Wang Zelin one after another.

As the first player in active service and recognized as the first player in the NBA with hard honors since the 21st century, Wang Zelin’s right to speak in the players’ union cannot be overstated by one sentence.

The reason why he accepted the invitation was just to go through the motions, but unexpectedly, Oladipo suddenly dragged him to the center of the whirlpool with a word.

But now that he was asked, he didn't want to be a lazy dog.
