Recently, the annual free agent market transaction is in full swing, and all teams are preparing for this fierce robbing battle, trying to help the team sign their favorite players in order to get a higher level in the new season Lou's record has attracted the attention of tens of thousands of fans. Especially for the Los Angeles Lakers, their reinforcement has attracted much attention from the outside world.
Earlier today, the Lakers completed a blockbuster signing and signed the former best defensive player Marc Gasol with a two-year veteran's basic salary. The latter’s addition is like a plus for the Lakers and let the Lakers The new season defending has increased a lot of quality. But there are some tricks hidden in this contract. The league may intervene in investigating the Lakers' signing of Gasol. If the operation violates league regulations, the contract may be cancelled.
It is reported that Gasol signed a two-year contract with the Lakers for 5.3 million US dollars, but the former, with his impressive performance of 7.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game last season, can definitely get a minimum mid-class contract. In order for the Lakers to sign a small plus, the two sides reached an "unfair" deal. In order to maximize the interests of Gasol and prevent the team from paying the luxury tax, the former needs to retire from the NBA after one year of playing, and the Lakers will cut his second year in installments. In other words, Gasol played only one season with the Lakers and received two years of work, which would prevent the team from triggering the league's salary cap and unable to offer him a higher contract.
Obviously, with such a god-level operation of the Lakers, there will be more championship teams competing to follow suit in the future, which is unfair to other teams and does not comply with the relevant regulations of the league.
