Winning the CBA championship again, let the Liaoning men's basketball team return to the peak. But at the end of the season, Liaoning Basketball also faces a lot of new problems, one of which is that the team has 6 players such as Guo Allen, Li Xiaoxu, Wu Changze, Yu Zechen, Cong Mingchen and Molander who will expire their contracts with the club this summer.
Next season, how to arrange the personnel of the first team of liaoning basketball is one of the key tasks of Liaoning basketball this offseason. Judging from the current situation, the above 6 players will basically complete the renewal of the club's contract this summer.
Guo Allen will undoubtedly get a maximum salary extension from the club, while Li Xiaoxu, 32, will receive a veteran contract from the club. Cong Mingchen played quite well in the playoffs, which also created good conditions for him to renew his contract with the club, and if there is no accident, Liao Basket should be able to issue him a Class C contract.
Youngsters Wu Changze and Yu Zechen both have great potential, and it is believed that Liaoning Basketball will retain them with Class B contracts. The renewal of Morland's contract is extremely optimistic, because in the playoffs, the Liaoning Basketball Club will not only complete the renewal of Morlander's contract, but also increase his salary on top of last season's salary.
In addition, Gao Shiyan, who has ended his loan period, will also return to the team next season, and Sun Wei, the 21-year-old inner hope star of the Liaoning Youth Team, is likely to be promoted to the Liaoning Basketball First Team next season.
Looking at the players who will leave the team, it is well known that after helping Liaoning win the championship, young player Zhang Zhenlin has decided to go to the United States to pursue his NBA dream. Next season, he will certainly not appear in the lineup of Liaoning Basketball.
Liu Yanyu and Wang Huadong, two interior players, because they have not been able to get too many playing opportunities in the team, next season the two are likely to be loaned to Jilin for training.
The other two players who will leave the team are Zhu Rongzhen and veteran Liu Zhixuan, Zhu Rongzhen did not play a convincing performance in the 2 seasons of playing for Liaoning Basket, and it is difficult to be cultivated as Han Dejun's successor. Therefore, after the end of the loan period, he will also return to the Shandong men's basketball team.
And because the team's forward and defender lines are already overcrowded, the 31-year-old veteran Liu Zhixuan is likely to announce his retirement next season and transform into a coach. It is reported that next season he will go to the Liaoning youth team, where he will start his coaching career, and after several years of training, he will enter the coaching staff of the Liaoning basketball first team as Yang Ming's deputy.
Judging from the above situation, the changes in the first team of Liaoning Basketball next season are still relatively large. However, in addition to Zhang Zhenlin's departure from the team, it is good that Fu Hao can make up for the gap of JinJin to a large extent. Therefore, the main framework of liaoning basketball has not changed much, which also ensures that the team can continue to achieve stable league results next season.
Of course, Liaoning Basketball also needs to consider bringing in one or two new signings, especially in the interior. The club has been trying to sign Zhou Qi back, but from the current situation, this difficulty is still very large.
But even if Zhou Qi can't return to the team next season, Liao's lineup is still the hottest team to win the CBA championship. As long as the team does not have major injury problems next season, I believe that defending the CBA championship is not a difficult task for Liaoning Basketball!
