On April 17, Beijing time, the Guangdong men's basketball team's journey this season ended on the evening of the 16th, they lost to Liaoning in overtime 116-117, the big score was 0-3 out, stopped in the semifinals, and missed the 4 consecutive championships. After the end of the season, there are still many problems left for Guangdong general manager Zhu Fangyu and coach Du Feng, this summer, as many as 7 people in the Guangdong team have expired their contracts, including 5 national players, and a large number of player contracts have expired, which means that the list of Guangdong team personnel may change.
Players whose contracts have expired include veterans Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie in the backcourt, as well as Zhang Haojia and Wang Shaokai. Among these 7 people, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng are the soul of the team, leaving no suspense, but how to renew the contract will be a focus of attention, last season after playing Yi Jianlian on the contract expired, when the UAE gave up the D maximum salary renewal and signed a 1-year contract Class C contract.
Now, the UAE Is once again a free man, and I believe that the big brother will continue to give up the D maximum salary and give up the place to his teammates. According to the regulations of the league, Yi Jianlian, who is more than 32 years old and has played in the Guangdong men's basketball team for more than 12 seasons, is eligible to sign a veteran contract of category E, and the annual salary can be the same as the player with the highest annual salary in the team's category C contract, and the salary of the E-type contract does not need to be counted in the salary cap, so the UAE league chooses the E-class veteran contract renewal is the most beneficial to the Guangdong team, which can free up space for the team to bring reinforcements.
The situation of Zhou Peng is similar to that of the UAE League, who is more than 32 years old and has played for the Guangdong team for more than 12 years, and is eligible to sign the E class veteran contract, but unlike Yi Jianlian's no longer peak, Zhou Peng is still the core of guangdong's local front, and it is not surprising if he finally signs a class D maximum salary.
Among the players whose contracts have expired, the renewal of the contracts of Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie in the backcourt is the focus of Zhu Fangyu's work, and leaving these three people can ensure the future competitiveness of the Guangdong men's basketball team. Among them, Zhao Rui's contract expired at the end of last season, giving up the maximum salary for the team's reinforcements, considering that Zhao Rui is at its peak, I believe that this time to renew Zhao Rui can get a class D maximum salary contract. Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie belong to the types of old contracts and rookie contracts that expire, respectively, the former can be signed in class C or D contracts, depending on how Zhu Fangyu operates and how to talk.
As for Xu Jie's situation is relatively simple, Xu Zhongfeng expires a one-man rookie A1 contract, according to the regulations, Zhu Fangyu can leave Xu Jie as long as he gives at least twice the annual salary of the rookie contract, signs a B contract, and has Xu Jie's right of first refusal. According to the regulations, Xu Jie's first registration for the CBA League is 18 years old, belongs to his own youth training type, rookie contract expires to sign a B class can sign up to 5 years, considering that Xu Jie is already a national player, I believe Zhu Fangyu will try to let Xu Jie sign for 5 years, so that the team's future reinforcement operation is the most reasonable. Du Runwang, who entered the Guangdong first team in the same year as Xu Jie, signed a contract for a total of 5 years in category B after the rookie contract ended.
Similar to Xu Jie's contract situation with Zhang Haojia after 00, the A1 contract has just ended, and the best situation is that the B contract is renewed for 5 years.
The last person who may leave the Guangdong men's basketball team is the 27-year-old sharpshooter Wang Salary Kai, who became a free man after the end of the 20-21 season and renewed his contract with Guangdong for 1 year, contract Category C. This season's regular season Wang Salary Kai performance is mediocre, averaging 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, the three-point shooting rate slipped to 33%, as a shooter, this is not qualified, the whole season Wang Salary Kai played 29 games on behalf of Guangdong, which is the lowest value in the past three seasons. Wang's most eye-catching performance in a year was playing a miracle in the third semi-final game against Liaoning, playing 34 minutes off the bench, shooting 5 of 10 to score 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, which can make a difference in key games, which is the value of Wang Salary Kai.
But now Guangdong backcourt talent is abundant, in addition to the three youngsters in the backcourt, there are 21-year-old Zhao Jinyang, 23-year-old Tang Jie, who has a distinct style of play, and Wang Jiankai must make progress if he wants to stay.
