On March 1, the buyout deadline is approaching.

On this day, players and the parent team reached buyouts one after another.

These include the eye-catching Weber and Francis.

Francis sacrificed his salary of about 3 million yuan during the buyout process.

But even so, the Knicks still need to pay him a "breakup fee" of up to 44 million yuan.

This set a new record for NBA buyouts.

However, even if the Knicks bought out Frances, there is still a contract on the team that is as long as Frances but has a higher salary.

Marbury's condition, and the situation between him and the Knicks, is not much better than Francis...

And the amnesty clause must be mentioned here.

Many people know that this clause is in the new version of the labor-management agreement in 2011.

But in fact, this clause appeared in 2005.

The background that appeared at that time was to resolve the big contract of Alan Houston in the Knicks.

Therefore, the amnesty clause is also called the "Alan Houston clause".

only……

The Knicks did not use this clause on Houston, but used Jerome Williams, a role player with a salary of only 7 million yuan per year...

So now facing the big contract between Francis and Marbury, they can't replace it, so they can only be forced to buy out like this.

Well, this operation is very Knicks.

In addition to these two, Jaylen Ross, who was previously traded to the Pacers, Eric Snow of the Cavaliers, and David Wesley of the Celtics, have successively reached buyouts with their parent team.

The alliance, which had just stopped for a while, began to get restless again.

But the difference is that this time the initiative has changed from a team to a player.

The two most popular people.

Weber attracted the snatch of powerful men such as the Pistons, Celtics, Nuggets, Nets, Spurs and others.

Perhaps Webber himself didn't expect that at the end of his career, he could enjoy the feeling of being more star-studded than at his peak.

The same goes for Francis.

The most fiercer one among them is the Celtics.

And you have to sigh that Anji is really a shrewd businessman.

He has been using the Celtics to hold on to the middle class this season, and he is just using it to chase Frances now.

This also puts them in the lead position in the battle.

If they can really get Francis in the end, the Celtics can say, "I am invincible in the world."

After training on this day, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat on the sidelines and chatted on a daily basis.

The two of them didn't talk about whether to recruit anyone.

Because if you really want to do that, the team will cut people and make a place before the buyout deadline.

Otherwise, if you lay off people after the buyout deadline, it would be a lot of damage.

Of course, what's more important is that there is no one in the Lakers' current lineup worthy of being drafted.

Their mentality is to watch dramas and chat as a supplement.

"Where do you think Steve Francis will go?"

O'Neal asked the most interesting one.

Sun Hao didn't answer immediately this time. He, a time traveler, guessed wrongly in Kobe's deal before.

He has to think about this Francis.

“Boston.”

After thinking enough, Sun Hao gave his own answer.

“Boston can give a bigger contract and better chances.”

Sun Hao immediately gave his own reasons.

According to normal thinking, it is more likely that Francis will go to the Bulls.

Because Francis is a person who values ​​emotions, he was too far-fetched for Yi Jianlian when he was with the Bulls.

At the age of 29, Francis should not be willing to play as a substitute.

The Bulls had Paul, and he had no chance to go there.

In contrast, Rondo is still young in Boston, and Boykins will not have many opportunities due to his height in the playoffs.

So in comparison, the possibility of Francis going there should be the greatest.

O'Neal nodded this time.

He would ask, but he actually felt that.

But that happens, Boston becomes stronger again.

"I think he'll go to Detroit for Chris Webber."

Sun Hao also talked about Weber.

In history, Webber also went to the Pistons this year, and he played as a starting center who replaced Da Ben, and performed quite well.

"I think Chris should go to Boston."

O'Neal continued.

"Um?"

"Shak's intuition."

O'Neal smiled and pointed at his head.

“It is also possible.”

Sun Hao thought about it and nodded.

Weber's words are actually nothing, just a championship ring is missing.

Now in the league, where is there any better chance to get a ring than Boston?

Just because they all went to the Celtics...

Ahem, even if you like to challenge, this Celtic is a bit too strong.

The difference between the buyout deadline and the transaction deadline is that it is just a buyout day.

As for signing, as long as you buy it before that day, you can represent the team in the playoffs whenever you sign.

So each player's signing date is different.

For example, Jaylen Ross signed with the Clippers on the second day of the deadline.

The Clippers have already made room before, which is obviously something that has been negotiated before.

This contract is also very interesting.

In the 2000 Finals, Rose, who played for the Pacers at the time, scored 32 points and led the team to beat the OK Lakers.

And in history, he later went to the Raptors and became Kobe's 81-point background board.

Then now, he became teammates with Kobe at the end of his career.

So in the NBA, that sentence is still very practical: stay at the front line of people and meet each other in the future.

Because your opponent today is likely to be your teammate tomorrow.

Not long after Ross signed the contract, Francis made his decision.

But his decision was beyond the expectations of most people.

This also includes Sun Hao and O'Neal's.

Well, Sun Hao guessed wrong again.

(Sun Hao: Meow Meow Meow? Where is the protagonist's face?)

Francis did not go to the Bulls, Sun Hao guessed this correctly.

But he didn't go to the Celtics either!

He finally chose to go to the Wizards!!

"Salary is not the main consideration for me, I want to go to a place where I can win."

This is a message Francis left on his personal Twitter after he made the decision.

Garnett and the Celtics said they were offended!
