Zach: Brunson与尼克斯队签订的四年1.56亿美元的提前续约合同,虽然表面上看起来Brunson让利很多,但实际上可能通过未来再次进入自由市场获得几乎同等甚至更多的薪水。这笔交易对尼克斯队来说意义重大,因为它将在未来几年提供更大的薪资空间灵活性,帮助球队保留核心球员,并在工资帽规则下进行操作。 Brunson的续约合同是否会成为一种先例,引发其他球员在工资帽时代做出类似的薪资让步行为,这是一个值得讨论的问题。球员为了球队利益而牺牲部分薪水的情况并非首次出现,但Brunson的案例在现行工资帽制度下显得尤为特殊。新的劳资协议中关于第二工资帽的规定对球队的影响可能被夸大了,但它也导致球队在续约球员时选择减少了。 尼克斯队在新赛季有竞争总冠军的潜力,但球队健康状况和Randle的未来仍是关键因素。Brunson的决定引发了关于球员薪资让步的伦理和经济问题的讨论,但高额的薪水也使得这种让步成为可能。 Kevin: Brunson的续约合同的关键在于2025-26赛季,这三年内他大约少赚3700万美元,但这为尼克斯队提供了宝贵的薪资空间。Brunson的续约决定受到多种因素影响,包括与球队管理层和队友的良好关系以及对球队的信任。尼克斯队在Brunson续约中获得的利益是他们之前高薪签下Brunson的结果,这体现了他们对球队的长期规划和投入。 球员为了球队利益而牺牲部分薪水的情况并非首次出现,但Brunson的案例在现行工资帽制度下显得尤为特殊。WNBA中也存在类似的现象,明星球员为了球队利益而接受低于顶薪的合同,这证明了这种策略的可行性。新的劳资协议中关于第二工资帽的规定对球队的影响可能被夸大了,但它也导致球队在续约球员时选择减少了。 凯尔特人队在新赛季实力依然强大,而尼克斯队、76人队等球队将争夺东部其他排名。
