Chapter 1132 Tangtian Clauses
After a night of wild celebrations at the bar, the Pelicans team returned to New Orleans the next day.
The bar party was just a sideshow after winning the championship, and the championship parade two days later was the main event.
The parade in the Year of the Dynasty will definitely be crazier than the past two years.
In the past two days, the team members were still immersed in the joy of winning the championship and indulged themselves crazily.
Tang Tian is also enjoying the rare holiday time at home with Olson and his two children.
He has the task of participating in the Men's Basketball World Cup next summer, so he has to enjoy it this summer.
But just one day after this, a guest came to his manor.
It's not Demps. He has no involvement in the championship parade now.
It's Tatum.
Tatum came to Tang Tian at this time, naturally it was about the replacement of the league president.
It is inevitable that Xiao Hua will step down, and the position of new league president will be vacant.
Tatum naturally wants to return to office.
According to him, the first regular meeting of the new season will be held before draft night.
Just like last year, the regular meeting will decide whether Xiao Hua will continue to serve as president and the candidate for the new president.
He came to Tang Tian, firstly hoping that Tang Tian could say hello to Benson and have the latter push him out.
The Pelicans are now in full swing, and Benson's voice on the committee also carries a lot of weight.
The other one wanted to discuss the alliance with Tang Tian.
This is something they have discussed many times in the past, but now with the change of league president, there is an opportunity to implement it immediately.
"My idea is the same as before, setting a hard salary cap for teams that continuously exceed taxes. That can limit the grouping to the greatest extent."
Tatum’s first point has been made before.
After hearing this, Tang Tian also nodded.
Speaking of which, they originally formed the hard training brothers to deal with Xiao Hua.
Now that Xiao Hua has stepped down, there is no need for them to continue.
And as they communicated before, when they are together, Walker and Butler's personal loss is actually huge.
"Another point is that I hope to change the current designated veteran clause to expand its scope, and I also gave it a new name."
Tatum's next words aroused Tang Tian's curiosity.
The purpose of the designated veteran clause is actually to limit grouping.
For superstars, the amount of contract they get has little to do with their own wishes. It depends more on the league rules.
To put it bluntly, if you can sign a contract worth 40 million, no one will sign a contract worth 39 million.
The designated veteran clause is a product of this. It expands the range of stars who can sign super-maximum salaries, and the possibility of teaming up is naturally reduced.
"Tangtian Terms."
Tang Tian was stunned by Tatum's next words.
This flattery is a bit too fair.
However, Tatum's subsequent explanation made him think that there was actually nothing wrong with the name.
The only modification Tatum made was actually one.
The current designated veteran clause is this.
There is 1 or 2 years left on the current contract, and the player has played in the league for 7 to 9 seasons. He has never changed teams or been traded to the team as a rookie. His performance meets the standards. He must be a free agent or have remaining money on the existing contract. In the next year or two, he will be eligible to sign a veteran contract extension with his parent team.
standard:
1. In the most recent season or two of the most recent three seasons, the player was selected to the NBA first team, second team or third team;
2. In the most recent season or two of the most recent three seasons, the player was elected Defensive Player of the Year;
3. In one of the last three seasons, the player was elected regular season MVP;
The starting salary for a designated veteran to renew his contract shall be at least 30% of the salary cap and shall not exceed 35%.
If a designated veteran renews his contract, the contract must be for 5 years. If a designated veteran renews his contract in advance, the remaining years of the new contract and the existing contract must add up to 6 years.
If the team's total salary already includes two such players, the team will no longer be able to use this clause to sign free agents or extend the player's contract.
The modification Tatum made was to remove the words "never changed teams or was traded to that team as a rookie."
Because Tang Tian had changed teams before, he was not eligible to sign the designated veteran clause.
If this is removed, he will be fine.
And this change may seem small, but it’s actually huge.
Because if one of the three criteria is met to sign the designated veteran clause, the number of people who can sign will expand instantly.
Butler, for example, is completely satisfied.
And Walker, if he can make the third team again this season, he can too.
Not only the Pelicans, but this summer's free agents, James, Durant, and George can all sign such contracts.
In other words, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers, Warriors, and Pelicans to retain their current lineups, and the tendency to stick together will be eliminated in an instant.
The NBA is a business league, and it is most effective to use money to solve grouping problems.
After hearing this, Tang Tian also agreed with Tatum's proposal.
He even praised Tatum.
Tatum has really grown a lot in the year since he stepped down.
One day later, the Pelicans' championship parade officially kicked off in New Orleans.
New Orleans fans turned out all over the city, the crowds were packed out, and the grand scene was extremely crazy.
Although this year's parade is still just a bus parade like last year.
But what's different from last year is that the Pelicans moved out all three championship trophies!
There are three trophies lined up, and the card is unprecedented!
This is the official announcement that the Pelicans have become a dynasty team!
The enthusiasm of the fans is also extremely high.
Tang Tian was in the same car with Walker, Butler, and Davis.
The car was driving forward when suddenly someone threw a box of things into the car.
This move shocked everyone.
Walker and the others ran away, and the bodyguard immediately controlled the person who threw the object.
The United States does not ban guns. If a grenade is thrown here, it will be Fire.in.the.holel.
That's a girl with big boobs like Cecilia's F cup.
Even though she was controlled by the bodyguard, she was still waving desperately to Tang Tian and the others on the bus, and then stretched out her hand to make a phone call gesture.
Tang Tian took a look at the thing thrown up at this time, and it looked familiar.
I walked over and took a look and picked it up, only to find that it was durex that he endorsed.
He turned it over and saw a mobile phone number on the back.
This meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Walker and the others also reacted one after another, and when they saw Tang Tian's handsome appearance on the box, they all understood it one after another.
This is a cannon coming from the sky.
And that girl is not only F, but also has big hips and looks very good.
"Tang, don't worry, I won't tell my sister-in-law."
Walker said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, I didn't see anything, did I, AD?"
Butler also raised eyebrows at Tang Tian, and then pushed Davis.
"Yes Yes."
Davis just nodded with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
