For many fans, you may know the existence of the "Ross Clause", which was set up in the labor dispute of 20 1 1 to reward players who performed well in the rookie contract.

Ross clause means that the second contract signed by a rookie player after executing his rookie contract can account for 30% of the team's salary cap, while the previous rookie's top salary is 25% of the salary cap. However, there is a very high threshold. You need to reach the rookie contract to win the MVP in the regular season, or be selected as an All-Star twice, or be selected as the best team twice (one, two, three arrays will do), because only Ross meets this condition when this rule is promulgated, and the benefit lies in the rookie contract, so it is also called the "Ross clause".

But the first person to enjoy the benefits of the Ross clause was not Ross, but kevin durant. Durant's rookie season in NBA in 2007 was a great surprise. In the third year of his career, he averaged 30. 1 minute. Such excellent performance also allowed Thunder to renew Durant's contract for five years on 20 10, and the new contract was from 201-2065438+.

20 1 1 After introducing the Ross clause, Durant found his rookie contract in this clause and entered the best team twice. Durant entered the best team for some time in the rookie contracts of 09- 10 and 1 1 season. But his contract was renewed on 20 10, and there was no Ross clause at that time. Durant certainly wanted to trigger the Ross clause to get more money, but Thunder quit again. Why can contracts signed on 20 10 enjoy the policy of 20 1 10? Finally, the two sides compromised. Durant's extra salary is given by NBA, but it should be included in Thunder's salary cap. Because of this, in 20 12, Thunder could not meet Harden's salary requirements because of salary cap restrictions, and eventually Harden was traded to the Rockets, and Thunder Sanshao disintegrated.

The second person who enjoys the benefits of the "Ross Clause" is of course Ross. 20 10-20 1 1 season, Ronaldinho led the bulls to win the best record in the league with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses. Ross, who averaged 25 points, 7.7 assists and 4. 1 rebounds, naturally became the youngest MVP in the history, so Ross signed the contract at 20 1 1 early. This is also the only person who triggered the Ross clause to become the MVP of the regular season.

Interestingly, in the 2008 draft, Shao Wei also triggered the Ross clause. In 20 1 1 and 20 12, Shao Wei was selected as the second best team for two consecutive years. However, Shao Wei did not choose to trigger the Ross clause, but chose to reduce his salary and sign a contract with Thunder for five years and 80 million yuan.

The third person who triggered the Ross clause was Griffin. Griffin entered the NBA as the No.1 scholar in 2009, but he didn't start his career until 2010-201season. In the rookie season, Griffin showed his violent dunk aesthetics. With excellent data, Griffin quickly became the popular king of the league. In the 20 1 1- 12 and 13 seasons, he was selected as the starter of the all-star game for two consecutive years, which triggered the Ross clause. This is also the only person who triggered the Ross clause as an all-star starter so far.

The fourth place that triggered the Ross Clause was paul george. As the No.1 10 show in the first round of 20 10, paul george gradually grew into an all-star player of the Pacers. In the rookie contract 12- 13 season and 13- 14 season, paul george was selected as the third team of the best team.

The fifth person who triggered the Ross Clause was Lillard. As a rookie of 20 12, Lillard showed extraordinary talent in his rookie season, pushing top scholar anthony davis to become the best rookie. Lillard can trigger the Ross clause because he was selected to the best team twice. 13-/Lillard, a sophomore in kloc-0/4 season, was selected as the third team of the best team, and 15- 16 rookie contract was selected as the third team of the best team in the last year.

Unfortunately, anthony davis, who was expected to trigger the Ross clause, was temporarily selected as the best team in the 14- 15 season. It stands to reason that the probability of being selected as the best team in the second year should be great. Unexpectedly, anthony davis averaged 24.3 points 10.3 rebounds in the 15- 16 season, and even produced the best team. You know, the figure and fame are not as good as those of Jordan Jr. and drummond, and it's strange that Davis was a striker at that time. In this position, James, Leonard, Durant, dream catcher Green, Adebayor and George were selected as the best team.

Now, Tatum and Dansis are likely to trigger the Ross clause in the future, and both of them were selected as the best team last season. From the data point of view, the most likely condition to trigger the Ross clause is to be selected as the best team twice. Some fans think that this condition is too loose, and the standard should be raised to be selected as the best team twice in a period of time. If three teams are counted, the standard is a bit low, which will easily lead to many all-star players holding the same salary as superstars.
