The 2022 NBA draft conference ended not long ago. Although several Chinese players participating in the draft were selected, they were still working hard to join the NBA. Among them, Zeng Fanbo will follow the Pacers and Guo Haowen to follow the Lone Ranger and Zhang Zhenlin to participate in this year's summer league to strive to get the opportunity to officially join the NBA team.

NBA is currently the highest worth of Jacques

NBA, as the top basketball league in the world, attracts basketball geniuses from the world. In addition to the high level and competitiveness, the NBA is sought after by so many basketball talents. It also benefits from various teams in the league to provide players with the most excellent compensation.

A few days ago, the NBA officially announced the salary cap for the new season, with a number exceeded 120 million US dollars, and the amount of rookie contracts exceeded 1.03 million US dollars per year. In contrast, the top annual salary of CBA domestic players is only 6 million yuan. Joining the NBA has a promising and "money" way. Of course, young people with extraordinary skills will not let go of the opportunity to impact the NBA.

What is the useful use of salary cap and luxury taxes?

What kind of contract types are there in the NBA? To figure out this problem, we must first clarify the concepts of "salary cap" and "luxury tax". The so -called salary cap refers to the annual salary that each team does not exceed this amount each year. Once this amount exceeds this amount, it can only be recruited through special terms. And this amount changes with the annual income of the NBA. The top salary contract signed by each team and players cannot exceed 35%of the salary cap.

In 2016, the NBA signed a new broadcast contract worth US $ 24 billion in 9 years, which led to the skyrocketing salary cap. It was from that year that the contract signed by the NBA players was getting bigger and bigger. Qi signed the largest contract of $ 264 million in 5 years this summer.

Luxury taxes are the tools used to protect small and medium teams. Among the 30 NBA teams, the teams occupying big cities naturally have a better market, and the team owner is more willing to invest. In order to avoid some "local tyrants" who are not bad money to buy the championship, the NBA formulates Luxury tax policy.

According to the regulations, the luxury tax line of each season is slightly higher than the salary cap. Luxury tax. This is to balance the lineup of each team and avoid the appearance of a unique team.

In simple terms, the NBA contracts can be roughly divided into top salary contracts, base salary contracts, middle -class contracts, veterans, and short -term contracts. Some types of contracts can be divided in detail internally.

Most of the super stars we know signed a top salary contract with their respective teams. Their annual salary accounted for the salary cap is also linked to the years they played for them, up to 35%.

Generally speaking, a team often only exists with a top salary contract, and the situation of super stars can be encountered and cannot be found. In order to have a better lineup to win the championship, many players have made a decision to reduce salary to help the team.

The young players who enter the team through the draft often get rookie contracts. The higher the position, the higher the salary. The annual salary of the champion is probably similar to the annual salary of the players holding the middle -class contract.

This can also explain why when a player is selected at the high -ranking position, it will always be quite excited. After all, the salary of rookie contracts in recent years is quite good.

The middle -class contract is the average salary of all the players of the NBA. Each team gets a high -class special case every year, that is, they can still sign any own player with the middle -class contract without the salary cap.

For those players who have played for more than 7 years in the NBA, the alliance also has a veteran contract for guarantee. The salary of the veteran is not less than 1.1 million US dollars, and the contract for the contract cannot be less than one year. The salary of the player is paid by the alliance and the team to protect the rights and interests of veterans.

As for the short -term contract, the team signed an emergency for a certain player. After 10 days, it decided whether to renew the contract with him according to the situation without relevant protection rights. In general, as one of the most commercialized sports alliances in the world, the NBA's contract system has become increasingly improved, the interests of players have been guaranteed, and the level of the league has risen.

NBA has attracted top stars with its popularity, influence, and high compensation. These top players have no worries under the protection of various contracts, which in turn has further improved the level of NBA and the effectiveness of spreading, producing a virtuous circle of good results.

How big is the "big contract" of top stars?

The NBA stars seem to be omnipotent on the court, standing under the spotlight, they are sought after by fans around the world. Outside the court, they are also concerned by many parties. After all, they have countless luxury cars and luxury homes, which really make most ordinary people envy.

"Basketball Emperor" James

So, how much money can the top stars in the NBA league make? Thanks to the ultra -high broadcast contract that has taken effect since 2016, the salary received by NBA stars is much higher than before.

Before 2016, a contract of $ 30 million a year had been considered rare, and the contract with an annual salary of more than $ 40 million or more was now where you are. Last summer, Curry and the Warriors signed a large contract of more than 200 million US dollars in four years, which caused a lot of attention. However, in this season, Jakich and Bill have broken Curry's record. At present, on the NBA history, the largest 5 -year contract with the Nuggets ranked first in the 5 -year contract signed by the Nuggets; the five -year 251 million US dollar contract signed by Bill and Wizards ranked second; The five -year five -year contract with the Bucks ranked third in the $ 28.2 billion contract; Curry and the Warriors signed the fourth year of US $ 215.3 million; Essence

These contracts are all signed in the past two seasons. With the continuous growth of NBA salary caps and luxury taxes, the salary of players who get the top -salary contract in the future will become higher and higher.

In addition to these confirmed contracts, some players are also expected to join the high salary ranks, and some of them even play only one season of good balls. Zion and the Pelicans will sign a contract of $ 231 million in 5 years. You must know that he has been nourishing this season for a long time and does not fully show himself. Zion, who is only 21 years old this year, may even get a more in the future in the future. Large contract.

Stars such as Booker, Downs, Lavin, etc. will also complete the annual salary of nearly 50 million US dollars with their respective teams. Even Burenson has been attracted by Knicks at a price of more than $ 100 million in 4 years. The big contract is now. The NBA is indeed more and more common.

According to reports, the NBA Alliance is negotiating a large broadcast contract with a total value of nearly 70 billion US dollars in negotiation. If this contract is really implemented, then the teams will have a better fund to sign the desired players. As a scarce resource, star players will of course get more and more income.

Although after the salary soared in the 2016 season, many teams provided a "junk contract" that obviously did not match the players' ability, but for the team owner of not bad money, they would rather spend more money to leave these stars. Nor willing to lose his team in the competition.

Thanks to the significant increase in broadcasting costs and the expansion of the NBA influence, the stars who are currently in the year of the fight are much happier. It should be known that in 1998, the league's salary cap was only $ 24 million, and it was not enough to pay the salary of Bakichic for half a year.

Of course, the NBA also opened a special case for Jordan for the "God of Basketball". In order to satisfy the legendary character in the history of basketball, the salary of the alliance franchise Jordan is not included in the salary cap. This was already higher than the annual salary of many teams at the time.

Jordan played the last game in 2003

Although the late legendary star Kobe is popular, his salary is not high. At the peak of Kobe's career, his annual salary was $ 25 million, and he rose to $ 30 million when he retired.

The little emperor James was considered a bonus in the high annual salary era at the end of his career. Since 2017, the annual salary of James, who is already veterans, has not lower than 30 million US dollars. In the next season, his annual salary will exceed 40 million US dollars. Although it cannot be compared with those who signed a large contract, they can get this annual salary at the age of 37, which also confirms James' ability and business value.
