Seeing this, many fans will feel strange. Now that James has announced to join the Heat, why did the Cavaliers trade James to the Heat? The answer is to sign the agreement before exchanging. Simply put, the Cavaliers signed James in order to cooperate with the Heat.
The full scale number has been dug away, so why should the knight cooperate? The reason is that if the knight is willing to cooperate, he can get some chips in return. Why didn't the Heat just sign James? Because the Heat itself does not have enough salary space to sign James, and through the transaction, James can continue to enjoy the "bird clause", that is, the scene in which the Cavaliers exchange James for the Heat.
What chips did the knight finally get?
I have to say, knights are distressing. The Manchu was dug up and they had to cooperate. The Cavaliers first signed a 6-year 1. 1 billion dollar contract with James, of which the last two years were player options. After renewing his contract with James, the Cavaliers traded James to the Heat. In return, the Heat gave the Cavaliers two future first-round draft picks and two second-round draft picks, as well as a special deal worth 654.38+045 million.
In this transaction, the four draft picks didn't play much role in the end, because with James, Wade and Bosh, the Heat could get the relatively backward draft picks. However, this special transaction of 6.5438+0.45 million has become an important bargaining chip for the Cavaliers to get back James in the future.
Why do you say that? On 20 1 1, the Cavaliers sent Mo Buchuan and Moon to the Clippers, and got Barron Davis and the unprotected first-round draft pick on 20 1 1. The reason why this transaction can be reached is that the Cavaliers have the trading privilege of14.5 million.
In this transaction, the Cavaliers won the unprotected first-round draft pick of the Clippers at 20 1 1, and this draft pick eventually became the top pick with a probability of 2.8%. When the Cavaliers signed Owen with this champion, they gradually had the capital to welcome James back.
20 14, James came back and went home. He led the Cavaliers in a small city to the finals for four consecutive years, winning the first championship for the Cavaliers in history. He fulfilled his promise and was forgiven by Cavaliers fans.
