The NBA Finals are in full swing, the winner of the Warriors and Celtics will be the championship of the season, four games, the two sides are tied 2-2, it is clear that the series is very anxious, who can laugh at the end can not be accurately predicted. After seeing playoff teams fighting for the championship, those teams that did not make the playoffs were quite hungry, including the Lakers, who formed a luxurious lineup this season and were originally considered to be strong contenders for the championship, but unfortunately did not even have a chance to play in the playoffs.
For the Lakers, they need to make changes next season, and as James retires, the Lakers must ensure that the team has the ability to compete for the championship, otherwise it is impossible to keep James. Through some recent news, it can be concluded that Wei Shao will most likely not go, because the Lakers are not willing to pay any future assets in order to trade Wei Shao, that is to say, the first round of signing, if there is no accident, the big three will stay, the answer is very clear, the Lakers' next priority is to make the team completely young in addition to the big three.
The vitality of a team is quite important, so it is difficult for some veterans to stay, so who goes and who stays? According to New York Post reporter Marc Berman, although how to rebuild a team that has not made the playoffs in the past 9 years is the Knicks' top priority, the Knicks' top management has had an "internal dialogue" about Anthony's return, and it can be seen that the Knicks are very interested in Anthony, and if the two sides can cooperate again, it will be Anthony's return to New York after five years, when the Knicks boss can earn a wave of affection.
Seriously, Anthony is indeed likely to return to the Knicks, although he proved himself to be a qualified substitute in the Lakers, but I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the end of being abandoned, after all, the Lakers only have the opportunity to return to the Finals stage if they are young. So, how much salary can Anthony get next season? In fact, whether Anthony returns to the Knicks or stays in the Lakers, his contract is the same, that is, a veteran base salary, according to Anthony's state, he cannot get a contract that exceeds the veteran's basic salary.
This season, Anthony's annual salary is $2.64 million, and according to a certain percentage of the increase, Anthony will be able to get about $2.8 million next season, which is the top veteran base salary standard. As we all know, the star is particularly fond of falling leaves before retiring, although anthony's dream began with the Nuggets, but the Knicks are still a journey in his career, so it is not excluded that Anthony is willing to return to the Knicks, and when the end of next season chooses to retire and enjoy retirement, do you think Anthony will return to the Knicks?
