Before the NBA lockout ended in 2011, the NBA added the "Rose Clause" to the new labor agreement. So what is the "Rose Clause"? The "Rose Clause" is aimed at NBA stars in their rookie period, helping them get a contract with a higher starting salary after their rookie contract ends. In the NBA's "Rose Clause", the beneficiary is Durant, and Shao Wei lost 14 million
According to the "Rose Clause", when a player who achieves specific results during his rookie contract renews his contract, the player The starting salary can account for 30% of the NBA salary cap. In other words, if the league salary cap is US$1 million, then after the rookie contract ends, players who achieve specific results can receive a starting salary of at least US$300,000. In the previous labor contract, the starting salary of players was only 25% of the salary cap, which should not be underestimated. Take the 2019-2020 NBA league salary cap as an example. The 2019-2020 NBA league salary cap is $109.14 million. If according to the original labor contract, the player's starting salary is more than 27 million U.S. dollars, and according to Rose's terms, the player gets at least 30%, then the player's starting salary is 33 million U.S. dollars, a difference of 5 million U.S. dollars from the original starting salary.
Of course, if you want to get such a high-value contract, the conditions for applying for the "Ross Clause" are very strict, even harsh. First of all, league players must be selected as the MVP in the rookie period, or be selected as the starting All-Star twice in a row, or be selected to the annual team twice before they can renew the contract with Rose's terms. The NBA has been suspended for 11 years, and the league is about to introduce new regulations, which can be regarded as maximizing the interests of the players.
