Although the CBA League is now in the offseason, there are not many hot topics in the near future, and one of the most interesting ones is undoubtedly the news that Guo Allen applied to leave the Liaoning men's basketball team.
As we all know, Guo Allen is a brother of the Liaoning men's basketball team for many years. As his contract with the club was about to expire, he suddenly unilaterally announced that he was ready to leave the team, which surprised many fans.
The contradiction between Guo Allen and Liao Basket is by no means just emerging this year, it has already appeared 2 years ago. The contradictions between the two sides are mainly reflected in two aspects:
First, although Guo Allen took the D top salary in Liaoning Basket, it was definitely not the real "maximum salary" in the CBA league from the amount of money. According to the CBA League' regulations, as long as the club offers players an annual salary of 500,000 yuan higher than the C contract, it can be regarded as the team's Category D maximum salary, not necessarily to reach the required upper limit of 6 million.
And for Guo Allen, who is now the "king superstar" of the CBA, this salary is really a bit shabby. After all, before the CBA league salary limit, Zhou Qi could get an annual salary of 20 million yuan in the Xinjiang men's basketball team. With Guo Allen's ability and appeal in the domestic basketball world, his salary should not be lower than this number.
Second, the core position in the team was shaken. Since Guo Shiqiang resigned and Yang Ming became the new coach of Liaoning Basket, Guo Allen's position in the team has declined. Also the No. 1 player, Guo Allen needs to share playing time and ball rights with Zhao Jiwei, which is obviously unacceptable to Guo Allen.
As the first star in the team, Guo Allen needs unlimited ball attack and firing rights, but since Guo Shiqiang left the team, Guo Shao can no longer enjoy such treatment.
Based on these 2 reasons, it is easier to understand that Guo Allen is so determined to leave the Liaoning basket that has been playing for 12 years.
However, Guo Allen's desire to leave Liao basket is not easy at all. According to the regulations of the CBA League, as long as Liao Basket offers Guo Shao a maximum salary contract, he will not want to go anywhere but can only stay in Liaoning, unless Guo Allen plays in overseas leagues outside the CBA.
Considering Guo Allen's personal ability and age, it is now difficult for him to join high-level leagues abroad, and perhaps only the NBL league in Australia is willing to accept him. However, the salary level of players in the NBL league is very low, and even if Guo Allen is really willing to join the NBL, he can earn a much lower salary than Liao Basket.
Therefore, the difficulty of Guo Allen's operation of leaving Liaoning Basket to join other teams can be imagined. However, this is not completely impossible, and the Bay Area Pterodactyl Club in Hong Kong, China, may be a good choice for Guo Allen.
In order to build its own brand, the Bay Area Pterodactyl Team, which has sprung up this year, has invested heavily in the introduction of a number of CBA stars, including Liu Chuanxing, Zhu Songwei, and Zheng Qilong. It is reported that in order to get Liu Chuanxing, the Bay Area Wing Dragon offered him a large contract with an annual salary of 10 million yuan.
In addition, according to a well-known domestic basketball reporter, the Bay Area Pterodactyls also intended to sign Zhou Qi, the first center of the current CBA, for which they spent up to $12 million in heavy money.
The ambitious Bay Area Pterodactyls target more than just Zhou Qi, and now the CBA League's transfer regulations have given them the opportunity to sign Guo Allen. Of course, the Bay Area Pterodactyls can only participate in the Low-level League of Asia such as the Eastern Super League, and its competitiveness cannot be compared with the CBA, and it certainly does not have much appeal to CBA superstar-level players such as Guo Allen and Zhou Qi.
However, in the face of the tens of millions of annual salaries thrown out by the Bay Area Pterodactyl, everyone may not be tempted. Playing a year of low-level leagues overseas can earn tens of millions, and Guo Allen, who is almost 30 years old, may really choose to play in the Bay Area Pterodactyls without being able to join other CBA teams.
And this is undoubtedly a major loss for the CBA and the Chinese men's basketball team, what it means for the main defender of the national team to play a low-level overseas league for a year, I believe everyone is very clear. So, it's really time for the CBA league to make a change.
If you do not modify the transfer policy of the league, you can only force more good players to develop at a low level of overseas leagues, then the overall level of the Chinese men's basketball team will continue to decline, even Japan and South Korea can not play, but I don't know if Yao Ming now has the courage to take this difficult step...
