The fierce fighting finally came to an abrupt end in mid-June. The Dallas Mavericks became the new world champions, and Yiyang became the new king of the world. The offseason is finally here, and players can start enjoying their few free time.

Of course, NBA stars will not leave everyone's field of vision. You can still see the stars in various commercial activities. And in the offseason, there is often something more exciting than the finals and the bloody TV series at 8 o'clock - summer transfers!

There are a lot of big fish on the free agent market this summer. Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Tony Parker...all 30 teams have been ready to make moves since the end of the finals, eager to win in this Show off your skills in the summer!

Now, rumors are flying that James is leaving Miami. The Heat's Big Three can no longer stop Yiyang, so LeBron needs a new "Big Three" lineup to compete with Yiyang.

If the Heat win the championship this year, LeBron may be very happy to renew his contract with the Heat. Unfortunately, the outstanding performance of Yiyang and the Mavericks forced James to form another team.

It is absolutely impossible to defeat a player like Yiyang alone. James must gather the power of other stars to prevent Yiyang from completely dominating this era that belongs to him.

Of course, Yiyang also became a free agent for the first time in his career this season. His four-year rookie contract has been fulfilled. This summer, whether Yiyang will continue to stay in Dallas and what kind of contract he will get has become a hot topic among fans during the offseason.

"Yi should go to Los Angeles to join forces with Kobe, or go to New York to join forces with Cameron! Only big cities are worthy of Yi's status!"

"If I were the same, I would not choose to renew my contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Although they have just won the championship, most of the team is veterans! 37-year-old Carter, 36-year-old Dirk, 32-year-old Tony Allen , and the 30-year-old Iguodala... Once a professional player gets older, you never know what percent of his strength he will be able to produce next season. Maybe the Mavericks are the championship this year, and next year It will go down again! Of course, the Mavericks have the right to match, and there is no price that the Cuban guy can't match."

"Of course I will stay in Dallas. He is the king there. He has won two NBA championship trophies there, and there will be more in the future! There is no reason why I can leave his kingdom."

The news about Yiyang's transfer even overshadowed the transfer enthusiasm of LeBron James. In fact, every media analysis has their own reasons.

This is a utilitarian era, and the word "loyalty" has become worthless in the league.

For a larger market and a more promising future, it is not impossible for Yiyang to choose other places.

The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics and even the Chicago Bulls are all ready to bid for Yiyang.

Because as long as they can win Yiyang, these teams will completely turn around.

At this time, the protagonist in the news, Yiyang, was leisurely shopping with his mother and girlfriend.

Yiyang, who was following the two women with several shopping bags hanging on his hands, was not thinking about the summer contract at all, but how to propose to Vignali.

As Dirk said, he doesn't have much time this summer. June and July are the only two months that Yiyang has free control. No, there aren’t two months left, as June is now mostly over.

In August, Yiyang had to attend Brickley's training camp. Although no one forced him to do this, Yiyang told himself that no matter what, every summer training camp was a place he had to go. Only by constantly improving yourself can you deal with increasingly powerful opponents.

From the end of August to mid-September, Yiyang had to answer the call of the national team to participate in this year's Men's Basketball World Championship. After returning in September, after participating in various business activities, it was almost October. As soon as October arrives, the NBA pre-season training camp will begin, which officially announces that everyone will be involved in preparations for next season.

Therefore, even though the players' vacation seems to be quite long, for superstars like Yiyang, there is not much time to truly take a good rest every year.

"Also, how does this skirt look for auntie?"

Vignali's shout brought Yiyang's thoughts back to reality. Unknowingly, he followed two women into a clothing store.

"Hmm...it's quite suitable. Do you like it?" Yiyang asked his mother.

"You can't see anything like this, otherwise you should try it on first! Miss, please find a suitable size for this lady." Vignali called the clerk, and Wen Xue followed the clerk into the dressing room. . At this time, only Yiyang and Vignali were left in the store.

"Yi." Vignali came close to Yiyang's face, and Yiyang could even feel Vignali's breath. "There's something wrong with you today."

"Where...where is it?" Yiyang waved his hand, but his extremely unnatural eyes had betrayed him.

"Isn't it..." Vignali stared at Yiyang, her big and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Yiyang panicked. Could it be that his intention to propose was revealed?

"Are you worried about the summer transfer? Have you not decided where your next stop will be?"

Hearing Vignali ask this, Yiyang let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that I was worrying too much.

"No, there is nothing to worry about the summer transfer." Yiyang showed a comfortable smile.

"Have you already thought about it?"

"No, I never thought about a summer move. Because I'm not going anywhere but Dallas!"

Leaving Dallas? What an international joke! For Yiyang, the Dallas Mavericks are no longer as simple as a "workplace", but a home, a warm and cozy home that makes Yiyang willing to rise and fall with him.

Brilliant, he is willing to create with the Dallas Mavericks. Yiyang is also willing to bear the trough with Mavericks. In the past four years, he has gone through a cycle with the Mavericks from glory to trough, and from trough to glory. He has already prepared for everything in the future.

Although in the past few days, Yiyang has received calls from Stevens, Kobe and even "Magic" Johnson. These guys also offered generous terms. As long as Cuban doesn't accept the matching offer, Yiyang will be able to play for those real "rich clubs".

Stevens is Yiyang's mentor and best friend. Kobe was Yiyang's former idol and perhaps his sympathetic rival. As for Magic, he is one of the greatest players in the world, and no one can refuse his and the Lakers' invitation!

However, Yiyang refused and rejected everyone. Even if he is now a completely free agent, he will not accept any team's offer. Despite the hype surrounding the deal, Yiyang himself has never considered the possibility of leaving Dallas.

Home cannot be measured by money.

Isn’t there a saying in China? A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own "dog house".

Yiyang, who grew up in the Wood District, knows the importance of money, but at the same time, living in that place, he also knows that family and friendship are sometimes more important than money.

"I knew you were a dedicated man!"

After hearing Yiyang's answer, Vignali kissed Yiyang's cheek playfully.

"How is it? Does the skirt look good?" At this time, Wen Xue walked out of the dressing room.

Looking at the smiles on Vignali and Wenxue's faces, Yiyang really hoped that they could form a new family together...

It is not easy for a team to renew the contract of its star player. They must consider this entire summer's operation to decide the amount of the contract extension.

If it is too high, it may hinder the team's future operations. too low? The star is likely to reach an agreement with another team.

But when Cuban pushed a five-year, 108 million contract in front of Yiyang, he didn't hesitate at all.

"Sign it, too. Of course, Mr. Duffy, you can also study the contract details carefully. I know that the price of 108 million is not the top price in this league. But it is allowed by the league rules. , The biggest price I can offer! If there weren’t those damn rules, I might be willing to spend a billion dollars on you, hahahahahaha!” Cuban smiled confidently, no owner in NBA history would Directly offer a maximum salary of 100 million yuan to a player who has just completed his rookie contract! Even perverts like Rose and Durant have never been treated like this.

Stars such as Wall and Cousins, who were drafted in the same year as Yiyang, only signed a "mere" five-year, 80 million maximum salary contract with the team. Because according to league regulations, after rookie players complete their rookie contracts, they will receive the lowest maximum salary, which only accounts for 25% of the salary cap.

But the price offered by Cuban is 108 million, which is obviously not in the same order of magnitude as 80 million. It has been 10 years since we entered the league, so why is there such a big gap in renewal prices?

Because Cuban activated the "Rose Clause" for Yiyang on his own. If a rookie player is elected MVP during his rookie contract, or has been selected as a starter in the All-Star Game twice as a starter, or has been selected to the All-NBA Team twice, he can take advantage of the "Rose Clause" “Getting a big contract. However, it is very, very difficult to achieve these achievements in the four years of a rookie contract.

But what about Yiyang? Two MVPs and two All-NBA teams in four years have undoubtedly exceeded the terms. Therefore, Yiyang can use the "Rose Clause" to obtain a second-tier maximum salary contract that accounts for 30% of the team's salary cap that other rookies cannot enjoy!

However, players have the right to decide whether to use the "Rose Clause". Because some players will voluntarily give up their rights for the sake of the development of the team, allowing the team to have more salary space to operate.

But Cuban didn't make it difficult for Yiyang. He didn't even ask Yiyang or Duffy whether they needed to activate this clause, and he voluntarily spent more money on it, which is enough to show Cuban's sincerity.

Bill Duffy looked at the contract and found that Cuban not only extended Yiyang's contract with the maximum salary under the "Ross Clause" without hesitation, but also added a "transaction veto power" to the contract.

The right to veto transactions is generally used on veterans to show respect and to protect them.

This is the first time in history that Yiyang has the right to veto transactions as soon as he has fulfilled his rookie contract.

Duffy didn't look at it for long before placing the contract back on the table. "We have all seen Mr. Cuban's sincerity, and he is very eager to dedicate his entire career to the Dallas Mavericks. What else can I say? Let us create a more brilliant future together!"

Cuban smiled and clapped his hands, and a waiter came into the office carrying champagne and three goblets, and filled the three glasses with wine.

"Cheers to the future!" Cuban raised his glass, even though he will lose hundreds of millions of dollars today.

But being able to keep the greatest player in the world in Dallas, Cuban feels that the hundreds of millions of dollars spent is really worth it!

The three wine glasses touched together lightly, but they seemed to spark sparks that burned the entire alliance.
