I really don t have money to strengthen the lineup. The Nuggets starting salary is about to break through the luxury tax, and even substitutes can t afford it.

As the Nuggets lost to the Thunder in the tiebreak battle, many voices were calling on the Nuggets to strengthen the lineup in a targeted manner. Their starting lineup played in two consecutive tiebreaks, and averaged longer than the Knicks' Five Donkeys. Gordon even played with a second-degree strained thigh. The strength of the substitute lineup has become the biggest drawback of the Nuggets. Westbrook plays normally. Once the shooting and misses increase, it is particularly difficult for the team to win a playoff game. In fact, the Nuggets also want to strengthen the lineup very much. Jokic is already 30 years old. At the peak, he fell in the playoffs twice in a row. If he continues like this, he may have the idea of changing teams. But the Nuggets' starting players are really too expensive, and their total salary can even support two starting lineups of other teams.
Jokic is currently a five-year contract of 270 million yuan. If the contract is renewed early, it will be about 210 million yuan for three years, and the annual salary will be nearly 70 million yuan. Murray signed a contract of US$200 million in four years, with an annual salary of about 50 million. Gordon's salary is less than 30 million now, and he will face a new contract after playing next year. With this year's playoff performance, many teams are willing to offer even an annual salary of 40 million. Porter Jr. also held a contract worth 40 million, and it would take two years to end the contract, which is the biggest shortcoming.
Bryan can at least get a big contract with an annual salary of about 20 million yuan, and the combined starters alone have already broken through the league's luxury line. What's more, the money from other substitutes has to be added, and no matter how much you save, it will have to exceed 200 million US dollars. What's worse is that Porter Jr. performed poorly, and no team was willing to take over a contract as big as his. If the Nuggets want to strengthen, they either take advantage of the draft pick to trade Porter Jr. to free up salary space, or they will gamble and spend a small amount of money to train new players. The key to the problem is that Murray and Jokic cannot wait for training time, and as a small football market, the Nuggets cannot provide such a large contract for a long time. The most important thing about making money in the Bi Commercial Alliance is.
