official announcement! After signing first, then the exchange is reached, and Rivers officially joined the Knicks, the Rockets are the winner!
The Knicks official update Twitter today, posted a picture of Austin Rivers to welcome him to join the team.
"The official announcement! Welcome to the Knicks family, @ Austin-Rivers!" The Knicks official wrote in a tweet. It is reported that the little Rivers and the Knicks reached a three-year 10 million contract, of which the last two years are not guaranteed.
According to previous reports, the Knicks acquired Rivers Jr. from the Rockets by signing first and then switching. At the same time, they also acquired Sergio Ruhr, Tadiga Delangisevic and Alex. -Hevel's right to sign. The Rockets got the right to sign Issuf Sanon and also got a special deal in this transaction.
In this transaction, the most valuable thing the Rockets get is not Sanon’s signing rights, but a special transaction, which will greatly help the Rockets’ next signings and reinforcements and upgrade the team's strength!
In fact, we all know that Rivers, who jumped out of his contract and became a free agent, can complete the contract with the Knicks directly, but the Rockets tend to sign first and then change to get the benefits. Therefore, the sentimental and righteous little Rivers agreed to the Rockets’ request. In fact, this is a bit similar to Durant’s joining the Nets last year. KD could have signed the Nets directly, but in the end he agreed to the Warriors. The Warriors got a Russell for nothing.
Now the Rockets get a special deal as they wish, and it is rude to say that the Rockets are definitely the big winner in the small Rivers' first sign-after-fore trade deal! The trading exception can be said to be the last gift given by Little Rivers to his old club before leaving the Rockets! He has done his best to the Rockets. He could have jumped out of his contract to get a higher salary last year, but he still chose to stay with the team to accompany the team to hit the championship again. However, the team finally fell into the sand. Now the team is also shaky, Xiaoli It's inevitable to be willing!
Wish little Rivers all the best in the Knicks! Rocket fans should never forget your contribution to Space City!
