In the past, it was joked that the CBA Shanghai team that Wang Zhelin joined was the Shanghai Knicks (because Shanghai's status in China matched the status of New York in the United States), and this time, Wang Zhelin really joined the real New York Knicks.
Of course, people didn't go, they went to sign the right.
On January 4, Beijing time, the first transaction of the NBA free market was born, involving three teams, namely the Lakers, Cavaliers and Knicks.
Prior to this, the Cavaliers had asked the Lakers for Rondo, the Cavaliers folded the main point guard Rubio some time ago, continued to supplement the veteran guard, naturally, the Lakers who frantically hoarded the guard became their target, adhering to the friendly relationship between the two sides (before the Cavaliers also helped the Lakers handle McGee's contract), the Cavaliers asked the Lakers for Rondo.
The Lakers think that it is okay, anyway, Rondo is a mascot in the team this year, and sending Rondo can also save 7 million luxury taxes, and can also free up a quota to sign a contract, how good.
So, the two sides happily reached a deal, but Rondo had triggered the security regulations before it could be traded, and during this time, the Knicks came in again, saying that the deal would take me ah, and I also wanted to clean up the team quota, so the three-way deal was completed.
The specific trading plan is as follows:
The Lakers gave Rondo, Bradnyully (2007 54th overall) signing rights, Wang Zhelin (2016 57th overall) signing rights and $1.1 million in cash, and Louis Raberry (2014 57th overall) signing rights;
The Knight sends Valentin out and gets Rondo;
The Knicks gave Luis Raberry (2014 57th overall) the right to sign, valentin, Bradnynuri (2007 with 54th pick), Wang Zhelin (57th pick in 2016) and $1.1 million in cash.
In this deal, the three parties took what they needed, the Lakers saved luxury taxes and more signing places, the Cavaliers got the favorite guard Rondo, and the Knicks got cash and signing places.
Undoubtedly, the most worthy of our attention in this small transaction is Wang Zhelin.
Wang Zhelin's signing rights originally belonged to the Grizzlies (who were selected by the Grizzlies), and before the start of the season, he was sent to the Lakers as part of the Gasol Jr. deal, and now he is sent to the Knicks.
In other words, Wang Zhelin has not even set foot on the NBA field, and has been traded 3 times.
Why is this happening? The main reason is because, according to the rules of the NBA, any transaction, the participants need to send and get, you can't do nothing without a white prostitute, so in many small transactions, NBA teams will send some protected second rounds, or some players who have not come to the NBA to play, such as the Knicks, gave Louis Laberi (2014 57th pick) signing rights.
Signing rights of this thing, there may be people do not know what is going on, uncle briefly introduced.
In the NBA draft, generally in the second round, the good players are basically gone, of course, some Taobao talent general managers can still pick up leaks, such as big JB, Green, Jokic, etc., but the leaks are only a minority, more often there is no good player selection, especially the draft.
However, if you do not choose then this draft right is wasted, the NBA and the CBA are different, the draft system is perfect, the teams are also more interested in the draft, generally there will be no such situation, so many teams will choose a player, have his signing rights, but do not sign.
In this way, this signing right becomes a chip that can be traded, and it can be regarded as an addition to the transaction in various situations.
Wang Zhelin's situation belongs to this kind, the 57th pick in the 2016 NBA draft was selected by the Grizzlies, but because the Grizzlies are only willing to give the king no guarantee contract, Wang Zhelin does not want to go, so the Grizzlies have always retained the signing rights of this king, if Wang Zhelin wants to go to the NBA later, he must sign with the Grizzlies.
After that, the king has not gone to the NBA, so this signing right is rotten in the warehouse as an asset of the Grizzlies, until the Lakers trade Gasol Jr., and the Grizzlies are only traded.
It is worth mentioning that the deal of Xiao Jia, the Grizzlies only issued a Wang Zhelin signing right, which can be seen that the signing right is reserved to cope with the NBA's rule that "every transaction must pay something", and there is no other use.
Therefore, even if Wang Zhelin's signing rights have been traded 100 times, Wang Zhelin cannot be summoned to the NBA, after all, the level is there, and people can't see it at all.
You didn't see the Knicks get bradnewly (2007 54th pick) signing rights, which were selected by the Rockets at the time, which has not been signed for 15 years, and the king estimates that no one wants it.
Of course, the king is now playing happily in the Shanghai Knicks, W also has, the record is also there, the exposure is also there, the beauty is not good, running the NBA to suffer what crime, you say yes?
Not everyone has further ideas, and being comfortable with the status quo is also an option.
So, Zhou Qi, work harder, it's up to you!
