NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 392 "Su Yan Clause": Maximum Salary Contract Renewal!

"Queen Bee" Paul teams up with "Black Mamba" Kobe.

The league's biggest villain: The Heat's Big Three are formed.

These two trades ignited what was otherwise a quiet offseason, generating a constant stream of discussion surrounding these two major deals.

Make the offseason more exciting.

Other teams are also actively strengthening their rosters in preparation for the new season, and the Knicks are no exception.

However... after confirming that they could not trade for "Flash" Wade, they prioritized re-signing "Flame God" Su Yan.

Su Yan entered the league as an undrafted player.

Last year, he signed a two-year, $24 million "1+1" contract with the Knicks, with a player option for the second year.

He can opt out of his contract this summer and become a free agent.

The Knicks are willing?!

I'm not willing at all.

Before winning the championship, the Knicks' management and owner made it clear that they would definitely give Su Yan a "supermax contract" this summer, which would surpass any offer from any other team.

Make a commitment in advance.

To reassure Su Yan.

Su Yan also prefers to stay in big cities, and he would be happy to stay with the Knicks as long as their offer is reasonable.

Don't let loyalty ruin you!

That's not an absolute statement.

Although Su Yan is not a staunch "one man, one city" advocate, he still believes that he should strive to achieve great things with one team, or even create a dynasty before leaving.

That's certainly possible.

However... just as the Knicks were preparing to offer Su Yan a maximum salary, the NBA made a big splash.

The NBA officially posted an article stating: "Su Yan is an undrafted player from China."

In the first year of the new season, he single-handedly led his team to victory as a "superhero".

This is not just about winning one championship.

This is an unprecedented and amazing performance that will be recorded in history!

In recognition of Su Yan's outstanding performance throughout the season, we have decided to introduce a clause for him.

It was named the "Su Yan Clause".

This immediately attracted the attention of many fans and easily brought to mind the previous "Bird Rights".

First, that's a clause that only players who deliver phenomenal performances in the league are eligible for.

Secondly, players who enjoy the clause will definitely benefit greatly.

Everyone wants to know what the "Su Yan Clause" contains!

The NBA understands this very well.

After whetting the appetites of football fans, another announcement was released, which was an explanation of the "Su Yan Clause".

[Su Yan Clause]: After a player exercises his rookie contract, his next contract is a maximum salary contract that accounts for 45% of the team's salary cap.

This represents a full 20% increase compared to the original contract.

For example, if a player can get a contract with an annual salary of 2000 million, under the "Su Yan Clause", he can get 3600 million.

He earns an extra 1600 million a year, which is equivalent to the annual salary of an All-Star player.

No.

A star player's annual salary.

This is an exaggeration.

Of course... there are also very high thresholds to becoming a beneficiary of the "Su Yan Clause".

The rule states that a player must win any four of the following honors during their rookie contract period: MVP, AMVP, FMVP, DPOY, Rookie Challenge MVP, and scoring title.

Or win the MVP, AMVP and FMVP awards in a single season.

Two conditions must be met to enjoy the "Su Yan Clause".

For Su Yan, if both conditions are met, he can fulfill both.

For the other players, however, achieving either of those two conditions would be incredibly difficult!

When the criteria for enjoying the "Su Yan Clause" were announced, it immediately sparked heated discussions among fans.

"No? Is that even possible? What kind of heaven-defying threshold is this? Who else besides Su Yan could meet the conditions for a rookie contract?!"

Doesn't this mean the terms were tailor-made just for Su Yan?!

"It's like looking at how many remarkable honors Su Yan has received this year, and then... selecting some combinations of those honors."

Only Su Yan can do it; the rest of the people can't.

"Indeed."

“No, no, no!

Since Su Yan meets both conditions, the "Su Yan Clause" has actually become easier.

"Exactly. Although it's incredibly difficult, you should also know that a 15% increase in the top salary can easily amount to tens of millions. That kind of money doesn't come from thin air."

Only a player with exceptional skill deserves to receive this.

"That's right."

Su Yan, an undrafted player, had a rookie season that was too dreamlike, too crazy, too unbelievable!

Therefore.

His championship win was far more significant than that of the average player, so it was truly necessary to give him an extra reward.

This will motivate more players to strive to become stronger, perform better in the NBA, earn more rewards, and raise the overall level of the NBA, making it more entertaining!

This is what will truly benefit the internationalization of the NBA!

"The guy upstairs is absolutely right, I agree!"

"I also support 'Flame God' using the 'Su-Flame Clause' to get a bigger top-salary contract."

I'm not envious at all.

"Uh, so here's the question: how high of a top salary can Su Yan get in his new contract? What kind of 'sky-high' contract can he get?!"

"..."

Fans are both trembling with fear and eagerly awaiting Su Yan's new contract.

The Knicks management also received the official message from the NBA immediately.

Without saying a word, Su Yan was given the maximum salary according to the new contract.

The NBA salary cap for next season is $6000 million, so the 45% maximum salary would be $2700 million.

It doesn't look like much?

After all... players like Kobe and McGrady earned around $2300 million a year last season.

In fact, there are many explosions.

Because players who have played in the NBA for 0-6 years can only sign a maximum salary contract of 25% of the salary cap.

Players who have played for 7 to 9 years can receive a maximum salary of 30% of the salary cap.

Players who have played for the team for more than 10 years can receive a maximum salary of 35% or more.

This means that... for a newcomer like Su Yan, normally he can only receive a maximum salary of 25% of the salary cap, which is 1500 million.

Even if it's $1500 million a year.

This has already made Su Yan stand out among the rookies, with his salary far exceeding that of all other rookies.

Now, with the support of the "Su Yan Clause," an extra $1200 million is generated annually, and this is only in one year.

Knicks owner.

James Dolan was incredibly generous, offering Su Yan a "3+2" five-year, $1.48 million "sky-high" contract without batting an eye.

How outrageous is this contract?!

The player with the highest contract among the "09 Silver Generation" is currently "Number One Draft Pick" Blake Griffin.

$2400 million over 4 years.

The result was only half of the amount in Su Yanxin's contract.

The difference is just that exaggerated!

1.48 million over 5 years.

The minimum annual salary for a single season is $2700 million.

This is absolutely a record for a player who has just finished first grade and is about to enter second grade.

When the news broke, countless teams that wanted to sign him not only hesitated but were also stunned into disbelief!
