Most Improved Award = million annual salary? Former teammate is a lesson for the United Arab

Rockets training camp the first time, discordant voices, with last season’s Most Improved Award, and averaged 19.6 points, 5.3 assists performance, Brooks failed to advance to the renewed expression of discontent. But the big brother Shane to speak out, and he believes the team is now a lot of people such as myself, Yao Ming, Hayes, who are facing a contract extension, but no one publicly asking for about a contract extension. So, Brooks should now shut up, new season is imperative to continue to play well.
As a rookie in 2007, has fought for three seasons in the NBA’s Brooks really qualified to talk about a contract extension ahead of the team. But the problem is, now 07 rookie contract in general have experienced difficult problem, because many teams are waiting for the introduction of new collective bargaining agreement. So far, 07 rookies, only the popular heartthrob Durant won the team’s maximum salary contract, Noah, Horford this level and the team players are also still in contract negotiations, and other players such as Greene, Austria have no hope of early access to board the renewal of the contract.
Therefore, the 07 dystocia rookie contract, which is a common phenomenon, but also the requirements of future development strategy team. So why Brooks suddenly emperor to abdicate the team at this time, demand an early renewal of it? The reason is simple, after a brilliant season and the fastest progress awards gold, if the contract at this time, Brooks will no doubt receive a satisfactory contract. The next season, as Yao Ming’s return and shift the focus of the team tactics, think about playing a small cloth appearance were 19.6 points and 5.3 assists in the data is almost a fantasy, but not the beautiful background data, and his worth to To shrink a lot. It is for this concern, Brooks was eager to renew.
And the rocket’s strategy is more simple, that will never be fooled by one of the fastest progress awards, they are willing to through a more challenging season to test the Brooks in the end worth. In fact, the Rockets have not considered so wrong. Since the 1985-86 season, the fastest progress in the establishment of awards, there have been 24 players honored, but 14 were never entered the All-Star. Nevertheless, the fastest progress prize is still a powerful bargaining chip, many people received this award in the fat obtained after about.
Throughout the last decade the fastest progress prize winner, 02 years of Jermaine O’Neal, 03 Arenas, 05 and 06 years of Dior Simmons, 07 years of Montana – Similar to the case Ellis and Brooks , are the fastest progress in the face after the new contract award, and have gained about a fat, 7 years 120 million O’Neal, Gilbert Arenas 5 years 51 million, Simmons 5 years 47 million, Dior 5 45 million years, Ellis 6 years 66 million, one of the fastest progress awards almost a million annual salary means the contract. But the problem is the fastest progress in the winner’s contract is really value for money it? Jermaine O’Neal and Gilbert Arenas tentatively considered, but Simons, Dior and others are awarded the contract after the state plummeted, Monta – Ellis has become the glass people.
One typical example is the United Arab Simmons teammate with the Nets. 2004-05 season, with the outbreak of contract year, Simmons won the Most Improved Award, received a fat 5-year 47 million contract, but after one of his best season, averaging 13.4 points, the remaining four seasons in the single digits score, completely sorry for myself wages. It is because of a warning for Simmons, so the rocket contract issues in the treatment of Brooks, the only such care.

Prior to the trade rumors, the Nets, Knicks, Rockets, 76ers, Warriors and even the Timberwolves were once regarded as Anthony competitors. The Nets are willing to use Brook – than any player transactions Lopez, the Knicks only Amar – Amare Stoudemire is not for sale. Rockets are willing to sell Kevin – Martin and future draft picks acquired from the Knicks, 76ers and Warriors are willing to come up with the team headed star.

But at least from the current position, the possibility of Anthony to be traded because of his remarks at the media day and significant reduction, he is still willing to accept that he is the status of a Nuggets player.
