Big head and thick neck, VanVleet 3 years 100 million 3 million 3 unsatisfied?
Rockets 3 years 103 million signed under VanVleet ...
As soon as the news came out, the remnants were shocked, not only the remnants shocked passers-by. Originally, Mark Stern revealed that the rocket intended to give VanVleet 83.6 million in 2 years is quite exciting, but he never thought that a day later, he would scatter money and give it generously, and directly gave more than 40 million. I wondered if the NBA is not the Premier League, and there is no Manchester United in the 30 teams.
The US media generally used "Overpay" to describe the signing, which means that the premium premium is a bit excessive. Indeed, it is more reasonable to have an average salary of 30-35 million at VanVleet's overall level, and as a result, the rocket directly raised to an average salary of 43 million with a wave of his hand, what about good guys doing charity? No wonder VanVleet smiled and immediately helped recruit Da Luo.
The wood has become a boat and it is difficult to harvest, and the white paper and black words are clear. The money has already been promised out, and it is impossible to regret it, so I can only keep looking for reasons to comfort myself. It's a pity that looking at VanVleet's appearance from the perspective of looking at people is awkward. It is said that the head is big and the neck is thick, and it is either a big money or a gangster. I always feel that VanVleet is a big guy in one, making a lot of money first, and then feeding the remnants.
Usually after talking about negative events, people's psychology will go through five stages: rejection, anger, struggle, frustration, and acceptance. After calming down, there were remnants who forcibly held back the dignity to comfort themselves, and found N reasons for "3 years and 100 million 3 signatures VanVleet is actually okay". If you think about it, you will find that it generally does not stand up to scrutiny. Like what:
VanVleet is a very reliable open pitcher;
That's true, as VanVleet shot 44 percent from open three-point range last season. But the problem ensued, in the case of an overall three-point shooting percentage of only 37% from the outside, excellent catching open opportunities means that other projection methods are not efficient, belonging to partial students or lame ducks;
VanVleet has a high assist-to-loss ratio and is among the best in the league in steals;
Again, it's true, but certain factors have to be taken into account. The assist-to-loss ratio of 7.2 assists and 2 turnovers in the 22-23 season was indeed excellent, but in the previous 21-22 season, VanVleet had 6.7 assists and 2.6 turnovers, and the assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.58 did not look so dazzling. Especially last season, from individual assists to assist-to-loss ratio, and then to steals, all set a new personal high, whether there is a contract year to earn value is debatable.
VanVleet meets Uduka's requirements;
In theory, it is true that Uduka prefers VanVleet, who is relatively balanced offensively and defensively, to Harden. So Stone is fine in trying to meet the manager's requirements, but what makes Yu Yi particularly distressed is not "this person has not come", but "the contract given to this person exceeds the remuneration he deserves." "Full coverage for 3 years of 103 million, without any options.
Therefore, it can only be explained that Stone made a serious mistake in his work, and his biggest failure is to expose his hole cards in advance. There were reports yesterday that the Rockets had no intention of Harden, and there was no way to go but to execute the player option and pick an extremely difficult path. When Dawet confirmed that he wanted to apply for a trade to join the Clippers or Heat, it indicated that the strategy of the Rockets management was clearly understood, although the Rockets management later released the message that "I will meet with Odie", but when Odie and the Lone Ranger quickly reached a contract extension agreement, the VanVleet camp had completely taken the initiative.
Things have reached this stage, there is no need to play pulling and pretending to be a family wine, directly trying to make a poor dagger and ask the rocket if he is willing to give it, at this time the rocket has no choice but to accept it all, point out?
Because there are no alternatives.
When it comes to the game in the negotiation, the reason why it is called the game is based on the fact that both parties involved in the negotiation have room for choice. For example, there is a plan A and a plan B, but it really can't be done and plan C, and the rocket blocks itself through a series of tumultuous operations only plan A, only need VanVleet to twitch twice, does Stone have to gasp and beg for mercy?
In fact, his personal position has always been clear, Harden does not want VanVleet, because even if there are many shortcomings, his lower limit is still about equal to VanVleet's upper limit. Even if Harden is soft and disappointing, it is also a playoff thing, which is comparable to VanVleet's two fishing trips in the past three years. Even if Uduka's views diverged, Rockets management should not have made such a mistake that the negotiations were completely passive.
Unfortunately, it's really a pity that under the premise of understanding that Harden's market is very poor, the rockets with 60 million space in their hands should have remained silent, did not take the initiative or refuse, and attracted Harden to jump out of the contract and list it as a B plan. Avoid revealing true intentions in order to drive down the contract price, or contract length, of Uduka's favorite. Even if Plan A is screwed up, the speedy implementation of Plan B is a remedy, and this so-called two-line parallel advancement has one more option and more room for imagination than hanging from a tree.
Learn from Pelinka, turn flexibly and adjust your goals at any time, and play with flowers when you only have a biennial and middle class. Earlier, it was said that he paid close attention to the round face, turned his head and won the 3D flank Prince middle class to get the finals master Vincent in two years, which is called the man's mouth deceitful ghost, which is called long-sleeved good dance management. Compared with Pelinka, Stone is set off like a sincere iron.
Reasoning is really not to disparage VanVleet as worthless, he has his brilliance and strengths, and the comprehensive evaluation is a quasi-first-line or second-tier upstream point guard in the whole league, and the contract signing is too screwed to attract bad reviews. It's like a Volkswagen Lavida, it's completely OK to spend 100,000 to buy it back, and spend 200,000 pure injustice. That's what the rocket plays.
The outlook for the Rockets for the new season was pessimistic, based on the reality that VanVleet was the commander of the Raptors, partnering Sika, Anunoby and Barnes, plus championship coach Nass were missing the playoffs. How are the Rockets' young people compared to the Raptors? How is Uduka Binas? How will the playing environment in the West compare to the East next season?
Of course, none of this has anything to do with VanVleet, his first task when he came to the Rockets was to make money, put the green paper in his pocket and talk about the rest. Whether you can bring young people with you, or whether you can inject fuel into the rocket to take off, are all things that will be considered later. Yes, being a draft player in the league for seven years, and being able to get the top salary contract as he wished, is definitely another highlight of VanVleet's life after winning the championship with the team in 19 years. Thinking of this, he hated to copy the tweeter and step on the table, tearing open his voice and announcing to the world:
"Who still has a dream?"
Looking at the remaining about 25 million space on the rocket table, 36-year-old Da Luo trembled and raised his hand, and Dillon on the other side looked anxious, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps to recommend himself. This, will probably become the next two days of rocket reinforcement plot, clear cards, all clear cards; Scatter coins, scatter a lot of money.
Box lunch bloggers have nothing more to say, good luck to the rocket.
