"Don't ask About Guo Allen first, the situation is more complicated, and the problem is too sensitive." In the face of the interview, General Manager Li Hongqing replied, according to the reason, CBA players are not cumbersome to renew their contracts, why does Li Zong bluntly say "complicated"? Let's dissect the real cause in the method of elimination.
Guo Allen will face a contract extension
First, according to the provisions of the CBA, Guo Allen's contract extension is a very simple thing.
There are clear terms in the CBA contract that after the expiration of the Category D contract, the original club has the exclusive right to renew the player's Category D contract. Guo Allen signed a D contract with Liaoning last season, so Liaoning has his exclusive right to renew his contract, of course, there is a maximum salary quota that can be provided to Guo Allen.
Therefore, Liaoning offers a class D contract, which is basically to "lock" Guo Allen to stay in Liaoning, is it complicated? It is not complicated at all, so why does Li Hongqing call it "complicated"?
Second, the possibility that Guo Allen himself wants to leave the team.
Whether Guo Allen wants to leave Liaoning or not is unknown, but we can see the clues from the details.
1. Guo Allen has played for Liaoning for 12 seasons, and this is his hometown team; with veterans such as Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu, Liu Zhixuan and Zhao Jiwei, as well as newcomers such as Fu Hao and Zhang Zhenlin, there has never been an excessive rumor of discord, so from an emotional point of view, he himself will not want to leave the team.
Guo Allen is very harmonious with his teammates
2. Two seasons ago, the CBA contract did not have a salary cap rule, and the player left the parent team to join other teams, which is expected to maximize his own interests; now, under the salary cap, the player's salary has a ceiling, and the top salary is taken in liaoning, and the same is true in other teams, so from the perspective of personal interests, Guo Allen has no need to leave Liaoning.
A player wants to leave the team only three possibilities, their own development, comfort and salary, in Liaoning, Guo Allen is the absolute core of the team, get along well with his teammates, in any team in the CBA he takes the salary is basically no difference, so Guo Allen himself will not have the possibility of leaving the team.
The team will inevitably renew the contract with the maximum salary, the players themselves do not want to leave, how can the thing that is hit right, how can it be "complicated"? There is only one possibility, Liaoning may still have heavy reinforcements!
Third, Liaoning may have heavy reinforcements.
It is no secret, when Zhou Qi did not renew his contract with Xinjiang last season, there were rumors of joining Liaoning, and then he did not make a trip to join the Phoenix team of the Australian NBL, note that Zhou Qi signed a 1+1 contract at that time, and has player options next season, so the possibility of his return to the CBA (of course, if he represents the Pacers in the summer league, it is best to stay in the NBA), and once this assumption occurs, it is likely to produce what Li called "complicated", for the following reasons:
If Zhou Qi announces his return to the CBA, with his strength and age, each team is bound to do their best to compete, Han Dejun enters the reality of his career twilight years, so that the Liaoning team will also be involved in the scramble, and the premise, the team must have a maximum salary quota, so that Guo Allen's contract renewal problem is complicated, Han Dejun and Zhao Jiwei each occupy a maximum salary quota, only a maximum salary quota is left, both want to renew Guo Allen, but also grab Zhou Qi, not enough!
In addition, Xinjiang has the exclusive right to renew Zhou Qi's contract, with reference to the return of Fujian trading Wang Zhelin, Xinjiang will not watch him leave, Liaoning wants to get Zhou Qi must pay a high amount of chips, Xinjiang's lack of point guards is a well-known fact, so it is not excluded that they "ask" for one of the Twin Stars of Liaoning, Guo Allen is just in the renewal period, so Li Will define it as "complex and sensitive", because this is related to the future fate of Liaoning - to Zhou Qi, or guo Allen!
If Zhou Qi returns, Liaoning will fight for the succession of Han with all its might
Let's talk about the current situation of the team and the general trend of the league.
Behind Han Dejun, Liu Yanyu is far from meeting the standard of succession, Zhu Rongzhen's growth is not surprising, Shandong may not release people, Liaoning lacks a local cornerstone type five; and in the defensive line, behind Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen, Gao Shiyan has grown into a qualified backcourt brain, so, only from the theoretical analysis, Guo Allen replaced Zhou Qi This matter, it is feasible!
What about the general trend of the alliance? If Liaoning does not go all out to compete for Zhou Qi, note that Guangdong and Shanghai can have a full salary quota and salary strength to compete for the big devil, once this situation is reflected in reality, Liaoning's long-term ambitions will also be affected.
Through the answer obtained by the above exclusion method, the original simple renewal matter, Li Zong bluntly said that it is complicated, it is very likely that Zhou Qi may return to the CBA, so that the situation is instantly complicated, because it is an unpredictable variable, only one may make the situation clear in an instant, Zhou Qi joined and finally joined the NBA, everything is solved.
