With the introduction of a series of official new policies, the new season of the CBA league is bound to set off a earth-shaking change. Last season, Zhou Qi transferred to Guangdong Hongyuan, and the special office of the Basketball Association allowed Zhou Qi to sign only a one-year Class D core contract, which directly prompted an important adjustment to the contract rules of CBA players in the new season. In terms of foreign aid, next season's league is expected to implement the rules of six or even seven foreign aid appearances in four quarters, but in terms of salary, it is very likely to cause the failure of CBA league innovation again.
First, let's talk about the types of player contracts. According to the latest version of the CBA official release this morning, the minimum two years and the maximum four years of the D contract have been revised to the minimum of one year and the maximum of four years. This is tantamount to matching Zhou Qi's special case of signing a one-year Class D top salary with Guangdong Hongyuan last season, but for other players, it has invisibly shortened the controllable range of Class D top salary, and in the future, all teams can try to sign with players with a one-year Class D top salary, and the club's losses have been minimized, but the players have no reasonable protection.
Secondly, the salary cap of each team in the CBA league in the new season has been reduced from the original 44 million to 42 million. In the NBA league has been constantly raising the salary space, the player's income is getting higher and higher, the CBA league for the player's salary is falling again and again, although this time the limit of the maximum salary of class D is still 6 million, but because the team's total salary has declined, the player's income will inevitably need to be lowered, in the context of many NBA rookie players can get more than 10 million annual salary, the domestic class A contract is only 500,000 yuan at most, such regulations are really not humane enough.
Third, the new season CBA official decision to vigorously promote the use of foreign aid policy, next season will likely be a team of two foreign aid at the same time, behind this slightly radical approach, but the official foreign aid salary reduction, foreign aid salary cap from the original 5 million US dollars to 4.25 million, since to increase the frequency of foreign aid play, each team is likely to be equipped with three or even four foreign aid, at this time to reduce the foreign aid salary cap, is equivalent to forcing the teams to reduce the quality of foreign aid, Is this kind of contrary approach really conducive to improving the overall level of the CBA league?
In recent years, the CBA has been following the NBA's development model, on the one hand, it wants to implement the draft model to encourage college players, but on the other hand, there are cases of older players like Yang Zheng who are over 30 years old participating in the draft, and players like Li Shengzhe who have repeatedly participated in the draft, and the quality of the players participating in the draft cannot be guaranteed, and the so-called draft conference has just become a performance. On the other hand, in terms of player treatment and club management, we learned from the NBA and learned from Handan, but the advanced concepts of the NBA were not learned, but our own things were completely lost, and in the end it became a four-like. It is hard to imagine what kind of changes will happen to the CBA league in the new season under the existing policy, and when the Chinese men's basketball team will achieve a re-emergence.
