Under what conditions does an NBA team have to pay luxury taxes and win the championship?

I have tried this in the Dynasty mode in NBA2K games. I once had a whim and wanted to try how to win the championship in a simulation game and win the championship without paying luxury tax.

I tried different teams and found that there are two better models.

The first model is "hoarding a large number of draft picks, sacrificing 2-3 years of results, and trading in the team that is fighting stars for potential stars."

The typical example is the Spurs in NBA 2K13 and 2K14, which has a combination of GDP.

The three people in the game are all veterans, all in their thirties and will retire after a few years. If I say that, I will cut the mess quickly, and I don’t want GDP, I will only keep Leonard.

Leonard has been trained for several years, and the value can rise rapidly and reach data above 90.

Usually, I will sacrifice my record in the first two years and don’t want to win the championship. I will sell Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, and then win the No. 1 pick, No. 2 and Tanhua. There are still bugs in the game, that is, you use scouts and you will know the core data of the players after inspection, and they will play the game. Just pick suitable and potential players to come to the team.

With 2-3 years, when you have a lot of draft picks, you can operate it at this time, with a large number of draft picks, and the ability to choose is the right battle. Some random fierce people in their eighties or nineties will appear and sign him will not have a high salary within 3-4 years.

can stockpile 3-4 excellent young players.

With the framework, go to Taobao for free and choose some character players with a value of around 60 or 70. Choose according to your needs. Those who lack defensive centers focus on rebounds, defense and other data; those who lack three-point shooters look at their ability to shoot from the outside and choose the right ones to form the team.

After this operation, if it is reasonable, you will win the championship in about five years and you will win the championship without paying a luxury tax.

, which has been adopted by some people in reality, is the Thunder. The Thunder team has just won the championship. What they have adopted is the process of sacrificing their achievements in a short period of time, hoarding draft picks, and then reasonably selecting excellent potential stocks, slowly cultivating them, and finally relying on young people to win the championship in the world.

The probability of success is relatively high.

But there are problems, that is, the salary space is prone to explosion. During the rookie period, this group of players has little contract. When the contract is over, the team will be required to have a large contract. The 3-4 players in the team will ask for a net worth of over 100 million yuan, and the team's salary space will suddenly become tight.

Hoarding draft picks, sacrificing record in the short term, and choosing potential stocks to build a team. It will be very difficult to have consecutive championships. If the team wants to win the championship and retain core players, they will also take the path of paying luxury taxes in the end and pay a lot of money. Some stars will also leave if they feel dissatisfied with their treatment.

Sustainability will be challenged.

The second model, if you feel that the way to hoard pick potential stocks is not long, then you must ensure that you do not pay luxury taxes and then win the championship. How to do it appropriately? There is also a way, which is to take the "dual-core route".

What is a dual-core route? It is to first determine the two core members of the team. These two core players can be combined freely, and the better one is one inside and one outside, similar to the OK combination of the Lakers back then.

These two core members can give them higher salaries and try to control them to the level of about 50%-60% of the team's salary. The rest depends on trading and free agents to make reasonable plans.

for example.

You are the Rockets, and there are Yao Ming and McGrady in the team. OK, let’s make sure that both of them are the basic board first, and the other players must be role players. Don’t think about the Big Three and Big Four. The salary control of these role players does not need to be too much, and they are basically controlled between 8 million and 15 million (this number can be determined based on the salary cap. Different game versions will have some differences, which can be determined as appropriate).

The dual core is the main force, and then pair it with a reasonable lineup to win the championship.

Like Yao and Mac combination, I usually like to trade to Odom. Because Odom can defend and pass, and his organizational ability is good, I like him very much, and his salary requirements in the game are not high, only five or six million euros each time, which is very suitable;

For organizational guards and centers, you need a blue-collar worker, and the number is more than 70, and you don’t require scoring points. You are only responsible for doing dirty and tiring work. Those who organize and grab rebounds will let them do it.

The sixth man wants a Crawford like that, he has strong scoring ability, is on standby at any time, and comes to the bench to score points.

The others are free agents at will. Just change the signs every year, sign once a year, renew the signs if they are not suitable, and let him leave if they are not suitable. A model like

can also achieve results, and you can win the championship without paying luxury tax.

But this model also has its disadvantages, which is that it must ensure that the dual cores are not injured. It can be done in the game, and this is no problem, but the variables will be very big in reality. It is possible that there will be troubles in the process of team building. Leonard of the Clippers has already given us the answer, and everyone has seen why the team building is not successful.

Compared to the model of hoarding draft picks, dual cores are also risky, provided that these two people have not declined in athletic ability and can maintain their peak period for a long time, and the team's chemistry is also good.

Anyway, it is quite difficult to think about it. It can be successful in the game, but there are too many variables in reality.

For real NBA teams, it is much more difficult to operate without paying luxury taxes and winning the championship. We all understand theories and the principles, but it will not be so easy to face in reality, with various complex backgrounds in it.

tests the management's operational capabilities.
