Chapter 160 Signing with the Huskies
Shou Ye has decided to sign with the Timberwolves. This is the second time he has made a decision in the free agent market since entering the NBA.Last year's offseason he made a decision, and this offseason is another one.It's harder to make decisions this year than last year.But this year's difficulties are more troubles of happiness.
Shou Ye is very clear that only when he is strong can he really have the right to choose.Just like this time, the Timberwolves so easily agreed to exchange the team option for the player option. In the final analysis, they want him.If dispensable, they can't spend such a high salary to get him in the free market.
You must know that the highest salary in the Timberwolves team last season was former No. 626 pick Michael Beasley, and his annual salary was only [-] million US dollars.
If Shou Ye officially signs with them, he will become the second highest salary in the team next season, second only to Kevin Love.Love signed a four-year contract worth $2 million with the team on January 1 this year, which will take effect in the summer of 26 and expire in the summer of 4.
乐福是2008年选秀大会的5号秀，上赛季曾经连续33场拿下两双，追平了由凯文·加内特所保持的单赛季连续33场两双的队史纪录。他在常规赛中场均可得20.2分、15.2个篮板（排名联盟第一）。
Shou Ye knew that Le Fu in his previous life was a data expert, but his ability to lead the team has been criticized.Of course, the overall strength of the Timberwolves is the same, and there is a reason why he can't move.
Love's biggest problem is not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end.Part of his rebound data is based on the fact that he does not protect the frame, and he can get stuck and close the rebound without protecting the frame.But can you defend well without protecting the frame inside?In addition to not protecting the frame, his pick-and-roll defense is also a mess. He basically has no ability to switch defenses, and his ability to assist defense is also very poor. Except for the tonnage in the low post, he is a colander on the defensive end.
The Timberwolves can't help it. Love's strengths and weaknesses are obvious, and they don't know it. But without him as the core, they don't have other players with better talents.The previous MVP Wolf King left for Boston. Whether it was Rubio, Wesley Johnson or Michael Beasley, they were all top five rookies, but none of them had the strength to become the cornerstone of the team.
In the NBA, the puzzle is easy to find but the cornerstone of the team is hard to find.Many teams have been looking for cornerstones, but either they are too unlucky to draw a good lottery, or they have poor vision and choose parallel imports. What is going on here?
Not everyone is in a big city and can directly sign big fish in the free agent market. Small ball markets can only rely on the draft, and there is no other shortcut.
Bill Duffy informed the Timberwolves of Shou Ye's signing attitude, and the reply there was that they needed to make a deal to make room for the roster and salary for signing Shou Ye.
The efficiency of the Timberwolves is still very fast. On July 7, the Timberwolves and the Celtics made a deal, almost in the form of a free gift, and sent the No. 4 pick in 03, Darko Milicic, to the Celtics.
米利西奇2011-12赛季代表森林狼出战29场常规赛，场均出战16.3分钟，拿下4.6分和3.3篮板。
His salary next season is 523 million US dollars. Obviously, judging from his performance on the field, he is not worthy of this salary.With the opportunity to get the younger and better Shou Ye, the Timberwolves hardly need to think too much about sending him away.
Although Milicic is only 27 years old, it is obvious that his potential has been difficult to tap.Shou Ye is only 22 years old. Last season, he averaged 14.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks. The appeal in the free market is enormous.
The Timberwolves management knows that with the strength of their team and the attractiveness of the city where they are located, it is impossible to have the opportunity to get a super fish of James' level, so their goal is also to target those young potential stocks, hoping to scratch the lottery .They don't have too much salary pressure. In order to stand out from the competition of Shou Ye, they directly offer an annual salary of tens of millions.Unexpectedly, other teams would not follow, which made them not increase the price. They just gave a player option and got this Asian potential insider.
On July 7, at the Timberwolves headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Shouye signed his name on the contract in the presence of agent Bill Duffy and Timberwolves general manager David Kahn.
After signing, David Kahn asked his assistant to send the contract to the league, and then shook hands with Shou Ye with a smile.
"Mr. Shou, welcome to join our big family!" David Kahn smiled professionally.
"Thank you, I will let the fans see my value!" Shou Ye said very firmly.For the trust of others, he must use actual performance to repay.
After officially completing the signing, Shou Ye changed his signature certification on social media to the Timberwolves.He officially announced on social media: "Come on Timberwolves, the beast is coming!"
The news that Shou Ye joined the Timberwolves immediately spread wildly on the Internet.There were rumors that he might join the Timberwolves before. When Milicic was traded, the rumors became more and more serious until the signing officially happened.
Why Shou Ye didn't renew his contract with the 76ers is a topic that many fans care about.However, the signing details and the offer from the 76ers that came out later made netizens overwhelmingly support Shou Ye.
"This is so insulting, I wouldn't sign it!" "What are the 76ers doing, how can such a contract be obtained!"
It is true that the contract of the 76ers is compared with that of the Timberwolves.If the contracts of the two teams are similar, and Shou Ye chooses to join the Timberwolves, it is estimated that many 76ers fans will not be able to sit still, and it is also "politically correct" to criticize him.But the contract gap is so big, you let him choose to stay in the team, do you continue to generate electricity for love?This is not loyalty, this is sheer lack of heart.
No one knows why the 76ers don't fight for Shou Ye. Don't they want to keep this lineup and plan to dismantle it?
Shou Ye doesn't care what the 76ers management thinks, he is now a member of the Huskies, and he can't control what the former club thinks.
Many people sent congratulatory messages to Shou Ye.Beaubois, who is far away in France, also called and joked that he is still on a rookie contract, and his former roommate is already going to get a tens of millions of contracts.
Shou Ye lamented that although the rookie contract salary of the first-round pick is higher, and there is at least a two-year guarantee contract, but basically the four-year contract will be completed.Once it is played, it will be a proper rookie bonus.The second-round picks and undrafted picks have short contracts, so once they are played, they will sign big contracts faster than the first-round picks.
