Re: [閒聊] Finally, a Definitive Answer on Jeremy
※ 引述《Joba07 (騙人布)》之銘言:
: http://knickerblogger.net/finally-a-definitive-answer-on-jeremy-
lins-contract-status/
: While it pains me to basically just re-post what I originally posted five
: days ago before I was convinced to edit my original piece, now that we have
: apparently as definitive of an answer on the topic as we’re going to get
: from the great Howard Beck from the New York Times, I figured it made sense
: to share the situation (which, again, has finally been verified by Beck).
這是篇以查證過的消息。
: Here, then, is the contract status for Jeremy Lin…
有關Lin得合約。
: Lin is not eligible for so-called “Early Bird Rights,” which means a player
我們沒有他的沒有早鳥權。 早鳥權,在球隊打至少超過兩年的球員才能擁有,這個權力
可以隨著交易轉移到別隊。
: that has played for a team for at least two years. In the NBA CBA, you can
: transfer your Bird Rights if you were traded from one team to another. So if
: Lin had been traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Knicks, the Knicks
所以如果Lin是從勇士隊交易過來的話,我們會擁有的他早鳥權。
然而,他被勇士隊給釋出了,早鳥權限的計算在此同時被重置。
: would have his “Early Bird Rights.” However, since he was waived by the
: Warriors, as soon as he was waived, his Bird Rights reset. Therefore, Lin
: counts only as having played for the Knicks for one single season.
: Landry Fields, having played for the Knicks for two years, has “Early Bird
: Rights.” What it basically comes down is that the Knicks are allowed to go
: over the cap to pay Fields anything up to the average salary (which is
Fields在尼克打了兩年,所以我們有他的早鳥權,我們可以在不受薪資空間限制下,
對他續約,薪水約是500萬鎂。
: roughly $5 million). Since Lin has no Early Bird Rights, the Knicks are not
: allowed to go over the cap to re-sign him (besides a general raise of paying
: him 125% of his current salary – this is an exception available to all free
: agents in the NBA. Their current team can offer them a raise for the next
: season of 120% of their current salary. For Lin that’d be roughly $1 million
: (it is 125% for Lin since he is a restricted free agent, and your qualifying
: offer for a restricted free agent has to be at least 125% of the player’s
: current salary, so that is the bare minimum the Knicks can offer Lin for next
: season – that extra 5% is no chump change).
尼克並沒有Lin的早鳥權,所以在薪資帽的限制下尼克無法對他續約,除非使用一個
例外條款,不過這個例外條款並沒有什麼吸引力。
: Since the Knicks will be over the $58 million salary cap this offseason but
: under the $70 million luxury cap, the Knicks will have access to both of the
: major exceptions. The Bi-Annual Exception (which is roughly $2 million and
: available, naturally enough, every other year – so long as you’re over the
: cap and under the luxury cap) and the Mid-Level Exception, which is roughly
尼克明年的薪資將會超過薪資帽但是低於豪華稅門檻,因此有兩個例外條款,
約200萬的雙年條款和約500萬的中產條款。
: $5 million (available every year, provided you are over the cap and under the
: luxury cap). They can pay Lin under either of the two.
: Where the Knicks luck out is the fact that both Lin and Fields, since they’
: re coming off their initial two-year contracts (while the Knicks did not gain
: Lin’s Early Bird Rights, they at least did inherit his original two-year
: contract), they are both restricted free agents this year. Not only that, but
: they are governed by the so-called “Gilbert Arenas Provision.” This limits
: the amount of money other teams can offer either Lin or Fields to a maximum
: starting salary of the average NBA salary (roughly $5 million).
而因為Arenas條款,其他球隊只能開給Fiedls和Lin約500萬中產的起薪。
: Since the Knicks own Fields’ Early Bird Rights, they can match any offer
: without having to use their mid-level exception. However, since Lin does not
: have Early Bird Rights, the Knicks would have to dip into their exceptions
: (and almost certainly the mid-level) to match any offer sheet for Lin.
: So the good news is that the Knicks are guaranteed to be able to keep both
: Fields and Lin if they want to. The bad news is that if anyone makes an offer
: of over $2 million to Lin, the Knicks would have to dip into their mid-level
: exception to pay for it, therefore effectively nullifying the MLE as a tool
: to sign a good free agent (like, say, Steve Nash). So they might be in a
: situation where they would have to choose between Nash and Lin. Who would you
: choose?
而因為我們有Fields的早鳥權,所以我們可以不動用例外條款續約他,
但是如果有人開給Lin超過200萬鎂的合約時,我們就需要動用我們的中產來簽下他。
: One tricky aspect of the Gilbert Arenas Provision is that teams could still
: sign Lin to deals bigger than just the MLE times however many years (like 4
: years/$20 million), they just can’t have the first two years be larger than
: the MLE so that the Knicks cannot be outbid. The first year has to be for $5
: million. However, if a team is, say, $11 million under the cap, they can
: offer Lin a 4 year/$44 million contract (you have to be currently under the
: cap by whatever the average yearly figure of the deal is). The first two
: years would be for the MLE and then the last two years would be backloaded so
: that the entire deal would average out to $44 million (so the first two years
: would be $5 million a year and the last two years would basically have to be
: $16 million a year each). It is highly unlikely that a team would throw such
: backloaded payments into a deal, as it is not good for anyone’s salary cap,
: but I can imagine a team figuring that it would be especially bad for the
: Knicks, what with the increases in Melo and STAT and Chandler’s salaries in
: three years. Imagine the luxury tax that the Knicks would have to pay! So do
: not be surprised if a team tries to give Lin a deal for more than $5 million
: a year. Still, if Dolan is willing to pay the luxury tax, then the Knicks
: cannot be outbid.
那麼有沒有可能有一些特殊情況發生呢? 有可能的,如果有一支球隊有11m的薪資空間
,那麼他們將可以開給Lin一份,4年44m的合約,這份合約的前兩年是中產每年約500萬,
而後兩年每年約1600萬,不太有可能有球隊這樣做,這樣對薪資結構的傷害太大了。
: So that’s pretty much it. The Knicks can keep both Fields and Lin, but if
: they keep Lin, they are pretty much saying goodbye to any other notable free
: agent. With the way Lin is playing, though, that is not such a bad thing.
: Thanks to Larry Coon for his invaluable Salary Cap FAQ, which turned out to
: be absolutely right on target (as it said “If a player is waived and is
: claimed by another team before he clears waivers, then his Bird clock resets”
: ). And thanks to the aforementioned Howard Beck!
: ===================================================
: 另一個觀點 這篇作者認為尼克隊沒有早鳥權 要請高手指點一下
我們可以留下Fields和Lin,不過可能就沒什麼機會覬覦其他自由球員了。
