Super Lord of the Rings

The Nets sent Martin and Kittles away, and they were destined to be criticized. President Thorne also complained behind his back, but he would not go against the boss's wishes.

Having just signed a contract extension with an annual salary of 20 million for five years, Thorne is full of energy, serving the boss wholeheartedly and operating according to the boss's plan.

As a successful businessman and a well-known real estate tycoon in New York, how could Bruce Ratner be an idiot? He is used to looking at problems in the long run and eliminating some hidden dangers, just like budgeting the cost before building a building and looking for a suitable location.

He has already figured out the economic problems of the Nets, and he can't sign a bad contract if he wants to make a profit.

In Bruce's view, making Wang Jun the team's first attack point and attracting the attention of Chinese fans is more important than the defending champion.

Leaving aside the Western powers, the Eastern Heat, Pacers, and Pistons have better lineups than the Nets. In this case, the Nets spend high salaries to stay and have already won championships. .

It's not wrong to think so. In the final analysis, Bruce thinks it's too risky and stupid to keep Martin.

Fans like Martin because he has a gorgeous style of play, often staged domineering dunks, and played beautiful statistics in the finals.

Many people have overlooked that the reason for Martin's outbreak is Malone's reimbursement, the Lakers' 4th position substitute is too weak, and the attraction of outside players' three-point firepower.

In the series against the Pistons, Martin played very averagely. He is a second-rate star who can only play under certain conditions.

Some people questioned Martin's selection to the All-Star Game. ESPN experts said: "Martin's selection to the All-Star Game is a joke. He will only stand on Kidd's shoulders and dunk."

16.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks are Martin's regular season statistics last season. Is he really worth the maximum salary?

Let the bosses choose between Yao Ming and Martin, everyone will choose Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's contract may not be as big as Martin.

In case Martin, who left Kidd, can't play well, the Nuggets' statistics are mediocre. Then the Nets who traded him for three first-round picks won.

All three rookies are looking for someone who is suitable for the team system, and they all signed a four-year contract. As long as they can cultivate another Jefferson-level player, the Nets will make a lot of money. And the three rookies spent 4 years, and the combined salary is lower than Martin.

As for Kittles, he has old injuries to his waist and knees. Last season, the regular season was played for a very short time to survive. Offensive threats are down,

Can barely shoot threes from the perimeter.

Korver can also complete the task of shooting three-pointers. He is young and has potential. Kittles' defense is indeed better, but it's too bad to give him tens of millions of annual salary for defense.

Kittles' salary reached 10 million in the last year, and then the salary space can be vacated, which makes him worth trading. Other team owners are not stupid either. If the Nets ask for a player change. You can't trade until the free market is closed.

He will share the playing time of Wang Jun and Jefferson, and it will also affect the training of Korver.

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages, at most it is to show the boss's humanity, Bruce has always talked about money and not about feelings...

Speaking of Mourning, Bruce hated his teeth itching.

Going to the Nets for so much money, playing a few games and getting a championship ring, he retired like a hero, leaving nothing behind. Also take part of the buyout fee.

What the hell is this called? This guy is a jerk.

From a different perspective, everything is different.

Fans will always think Bruce is stupid. The lineup of the defending champion was dismantled.

Many bosses will think that Bruce is very shrewd. The future prospects of the Nets are good, and the salary space is completely released.

Both Jefferson and Wang Jun can stay, not just one of them. If you sign Martin and keep them, plus Kidd's big contract, you will definitely have to pay a lot of luxury taxes in the 2005-2006 season.

From a business point of view, the boss considers how to make the team make the most money while achieving good results. Bruce bought the Nets and had to consider these more, because the Nets and the Knicks were at a disadvantage in competition and made too little money.

All the money is paid to the players, and the boss is still making a fart? Paying for a football team to do good?

Before Wang Jun joined, the Nets, which had reached the Finals twice, were among the bottom five in the league in terms of home attendance, which already speaks volumes.

After Wang Jun came, the attendance rate reached the mid-to-lower level.

The team's scattered scoring points are also hated by the boss. How can fans be attracted without superstars? The Nets need a star who can score high every night.

Just like the Lakers drove away O'Neal, the outside world rumored that it was a contradiction between the OK combination. Kobe publicly threatened that only one of the two would stay, and forced O'Neal away.

Is Kupchak insane? In fact, O'Neal's demand for a high salary is the key. It is impossible for the Lakers to satisfy his appetite. Giving him a long-term contract with a high salary will completely lock up the team's salary space within a few years.

The fundamental purpose of the Lakers sending O'Neal away is the same as the Nets sending Martin away.

Next, they will satisfy Kobe's desire to shoot and let him score as much as he wants. With Kobe around, he is not afraid of not having fans.

The really stupid ones are teams like the Timberwolves. Garnett's salary has accounted for about 40% of the team for many years, which means that other players' salaries are doomed to be low. The "three-headed monster" has only formed a team for one season, and Sprewell and Cassel are dissatisfied with their salaries, and they are making trouble again.

Of course, this season Nets fans scolded Brook for nothing.

From the point of view of wanting to win, the fans hope that the Nets will play well and maintain the competitiveness of winning the championship, so they will not care about salary, profit, luxury tax and other things.

Thorne has notified Lawrence that before Kidd returns in the new season, he will focus on Jefferson and Wang Jun. After Kidd comes back, he must also ensure Wang Jun's number of shots.

Jefferson's performance in the Olympics was mediocre, but he also proved his worth. His playing time was not inferior to Anthony and James. Wang Jun was the only one who went to the arena to practice during the holidays. He is very energetic and needs to focus on training.

These two play good data, which is the key to making money in the new season.

"Pseudo-fan" Theron was right in his words, the Nets trade is really a good thing, and Wang Jun is about to take over.

Someone can become a superstar if he is praised, and no matter how strong he is without the ball, he has to play soy sauce. You can see how big the data gap between McGrady's Magic and Raptors is.

Bruce is not without ambition. He hopes that Kidd can spend three or four years bringing in another batch of outstanding newcomers. By then Kidd will be old and can almost leave.

I don't want to spend a lot of money to pursue a chance to defend the title, and save money to build a better future for the team.

Businessmen, hurt people.

In the next few years, Kidd will be under the most pressure. If he plays well, it may be due to his teammates, because his scoring ability is poor, he is mainly organized, and the statistics are not obvious.

He didn't play well. As the leader of the team, his statistics are not good. He must bear the brunt of being criticized for not being a qualified leader.

The only person in the Nets management who has nothing to do is Kidd, who has signed a big contract and has undergone minimally invasive knee surgery, also known as endoscopic surgery.

Although the minimally invasive procedure is billed as a "player's career-saving" procedure in name, it's known to be the real star-killer.

"Penny" Hardaway, Mashburn, and Chris Webber are all examples. This operation will reduce the player's speed and sharply reduce his breakthrough ability.

In the future, Kidd will definitely develop in the direction of floor sports. How much skill does he have left? (To be continued.)
