In the CBA league, involving 20 million level contracts, once upon a time, it was once known as the ceiling of domestic players' income, especially in the not very formal era, many national players, involving their own transfer problems, due to the system and various factors, it is difficult to flow to the free market. But from Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi and others, who have the experience of playing in the United States, return to China, the value is definitely rising, personal contracts, and even once reached the tens of millions of contracts. Nowadays, with the prevalence of the salary cap, that era has also become the history of the development of China's basketball world, and it has completely bid farewell.
Yi Jianlian's income, in the country is not too much of a secret, since the end of the NBA's playing plan, the UAE and Guangdong contract, basically maintain a sign for 1 year, in addition to the absolute confidence in their own personal strength, more or according to each season of the Guangdong budget to adjust, many fans pay attention to Guangdong 6 years without a crown, why the UAE League did not choose to join other teams. In addition to the emotional factor of the big brother in it, the contract is also a very important combination part. Until the implementation of the salary cap, the UAE League is also a 20 million-level income, and last season in the difficult period of the team, it chose a C-type contract to renew, and to some extent it was also a successful retirement.
Zhou Qi in the summer of 2019, returned to the domestic play, infinitely close to the Liaoning men's basketball team, out of a contract of about 20 million, but the Xinjiang men's basketball team handed over relevant materials, confirmed that the Xinjiang men's basketball team has the right to renew the contract first, which made Zhou Qi choose to compromise, coupled with the embarrassment of the Basketball World Cup, Zhou Qi is extremely eager to prove his personal ability in the league, as a domestic average of 20 + 10 level of center, is definitely worthy of the 20 million level of contract, but only after 2 years of execution, the contract between the two sides expired. In the case of a serious decline in the comprehensive strength of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, Zhou Qi refused the 6 million maximum salary of the salary cap, the transfer was fruitless, and went to Australia to play, in this regard, Zhou Qi only renewed his contract for 2 years, and suffered a big loss.
Li Gen appeared in this list, perhaps many fans are surprised, after all, Li Gen and the UAE, Zhou Qi, compared with the personal ability is a grade difference, as strong as the peak of Ding Yanyuhang, according to the previous Shandong media reports, only 14 million annual salary, why can he get a 20 million level contract?
According to Shanghai media, after Li Gen left Xinjiang, he signed a three-year contract with Shanghai for 58.5 million yuan, which is an annual increase, the last year of more than 20 million salaries, the new season is also the last year of the contract, although Shanghai and Beijing Enterprises bear different proportions of wages. But returning to the level of Li Gen's buyout contract, it is also an extremely attractive number, and even many players can't earn contracts throughout their careers.
