The results of the Lakers this season have greatly exceeded the expectations of the fans. Because of the introduction of stars such as Westbrook and Anthony in the offseason, they thought they would soar into the sky and become a favorite for the championship, but the reality is extremely struggling. Except for the eldest James, who is relatively normal among the Big Three, he has not returned from his thick eyebrow injury. Westbrook's condition has continued to decline, and he was even sprayed on the first place in the hot search list both at home and abroad. Today, the Lakers really can't see any hope of reaching the top. , unless the management makes targeted adjustments as soon as possible, it will be another year of no harvest.
According to Fischer's report, the Lakers are ready to contact other teams to evaluate the trade value of Howard, Jordan and Bazemore. If there are suitable trading objects, the Lakers will consider sending these people. In fact, for Howard, it is not a bad thing to leave the Lakers, because Vogel has changed to a small lineup, and James is the No. 5, which leads to Howard's playing opportunities are getting less and less. If he leaves the Lakers, Howard will not only have the opportunity to increase his appearances Time, you can continue to hit the championship.
To be honest, Howard still has a lot of transaction value, but Jordan and Bazemore are just the opposite. If the Lakers want to send them, they may have to pay a premium. For Howard, he can join the Nets is the best thing, the Nets need a big man with strong rim protection ability, and Howard is very suitable, and has the opportunity to help the Nets compete for the championship, of course , the premise is that Harden is willing, Cai Chongxin must consider Harden's opinion, after all, they have had conflicts before, and the beard has not renewed the contract.
From standing out in the 2004 draft to this season, Howard has played in the league for 18 seasons. If nothing else, Howard will retire in the next one or two seasons. Law is not suitable for the era of small balls. If you continue to stay, you will only become blue-collar workers who are not valued more and more. It is not necessary at all. Having won a championship and a big contract, Howard's career is complete, so how much salary can Howard actually get this season? In fact, it is very simple to calculate.
Each player has to pay some taxes. The fixed rate is 33.61% federal tax, $18,000 in annual pension insurance and 10% third-party escrow fee, and the variable is state tax and agent commission. The Lakers Los Angeles, where he is located, has 7.4% state tax, and the agent's commission is up to 4%. Howard's salary this season is 2.642 million US dollars. It can be concluded that Howard can only get 1.173 million US dollars this season, but 10 % of the third-party escrow fee will be refunded, which means that Howard actually received $1.437 million this season.
