Before the trade deadline, as the league's largest middleman, the Thunder is very concerned, think of clear space to find the Thunder, which is recognized by the league, but have to give the draft pick.
This time it was Philadelphia, who wanted to get rid of Harris' big contract. Harris' contracts currently have 2 years left, at $38.48 million and $40.96 million, respectively. And the Thunder are still $23 million away from the poor ghost line, which is more than enough to eat.
Poor ghost line here, everyone is very familiar with the luxury tax line, if not, then the rich big ball market is easy to accumulate stars, resulting in oligarchy.
In addition, there is a poor ghost line, her role is to prevent small team owners from lacking money or cutting doors to reduce investment, so sometimes teams below the poor ghost line will sign or get some bad contracts, such as Deng's big contract that year, which later became the Lakers' nightmare. Fortunately, this season is over.
But the final result we all know, after the deadline, Philadelphia's offer did not satisfy the Thunder, so Harris remained in Philadelphia. And the Thunder's total salary did not exceed the poor ghost line. According to league rules, teams that fail to reach a minimum total salary are subject to fines based on the difference, which is split equally among the players on the team.
The 23 million was divided equally among the 16 players in the Thunder, which was about $1.44 million each. You must know that the Thunder now have 3 people in the squad whose salaries are less than 1 million, and this bonus is higher than their salaries.
And most of them are rookies, earning more than $1 million to more than $5 million, with the highest salary being Favors' $9 million. For them, $1.44 million is also a lot.
Do not swallow the contract, but choose to send money to the players, where to find such a boss.
