Beijing signed Zhao Rui, holding 3 maximum salary, but being able to attract superstars, which shows that there are still loopholes in the CBA rules

On August 28, the CBA's unprecedented crazy operation was officially completed. The Beijing team, which had three maximum salary contracts, was able to impress and convince Xinjiang with 100 million people, relying on money, and let them let Zhao Rui leave and join their team.

It can be said that this operation in Beijing is indeed too magical. Everyone of God has begun to question wildly, which is challenging and trampling on the rules of the CBA. The Beijing team is just playing like this, so what is the meaning of these so-called rules of CBA? Whoever has money will be the world, it is simply slapping the CBA official in the face.

As we all know, the CBA has a very clear rule that each team can only have three maximum players, and there are no more others. Only by giving a maximum salary can you lock in the person you want, otherwise they can all leave. Beijing already has three maximum salary, Chen Yingjun, Zhou Qi and Fan Ziming. Logically speaking, it is impossible to rob Zhao Rui. If you don’t pay the maximum salary, how can you poach people from another team?

But Beijing made a crazy decision. With 100 million people, they discussed with Xinjiang team and Zhao Rui that they would buy out Zhao Rui's Class D maximum salary contract for the last year, so that he would become a restricted free agent in advance, and then turn to Beijing and claim Zhao Rui himself and ask him to sign a C contract. With three maximum salary, they could even complete the level of Zhao Rui's recruitment. It is not an exaggeration.

The most exaggerated thing is who is this? This is Zhao Rui, the meritorious captain of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, the second in the team with an average of 13.5 per game and the first in the team with an average of 4.5 assists per game. He is the best player in the Asian Cup in this state and this ability, he is not even 30 years old. If he doesn't give him a maximum salary, why can he poach him? But Beijing accomplished this miracle. He held three maximum salary and could still sign the strongest player in Chinese basketball with a non-maximum salary contract. Is this reasonable?

To be honest, this is a naked slap in the CBA league in the face. If Zhao Rui is not worth the maximum salary, then no one in this league is worth the maximum salary now, but Beijing does not need to pay the maximum salary. Are you challenging the CBA salary system? I can only say that having money is really doing whatever I want, but at the same time, I have to say that this rule is really like a joke. Does the alliance care about it?

If Beijing can use a C-class contract to force him to poach players, then what is the significance of the so-called salary limit system of CBA? Since they want to learn from the NBA and set the so-called salary cap, you should use the NBA rules to complete player transactions, and you can't do this.

What is the meaning of this cap now? If Beijing doesn’t have a maximum salary, Zhao Rui can be poached. None of the so-called core players of other teams are safe. These top giants can take action with state-owned enterprises. So this operation is indeed exaggerated. In the future, it will be meaningless for CBA to engage in these so-called Class D forced person lock contracts. Isn’t Zhao Rui’s maximum salary now? Why can't the Xinjiang team force him to lock him up? As long as the money is given in place, all the rules are equal to no chance.
