In fact, this is also a game. There are losers and winners, people who become negative models, and of course, people who become positive models. Sometimes, it is true that the team misjudges the situation, because it saves money and misses talents who can continue to take off, such as Nash to Dallas Mavericks and Joe Johnson to Phoenix Suns. However, it is obviously higher than the positive example to discuss the negative example repeatedly in the online basketball community. The bigger the salary gap between players before and after getting the contract, the more heated the discussion among fans.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Latrell Sprewell
How can I support my family without a contract of10 million dollars?
Back in the summer of 2005, the Timberwolves offered Latrell Sprewell, a former player and four-time All-Star, a three-year contract extension of $2,654,380 million. In the just-concluded season, he averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists, shot 4 1.4%, and hit 32.7%.
Considering Latrell Sprewell's skill at that time, his age of 34 and his salary cap at that time, the Timberwolves offered him a three-year pension contract of 2 1 10,000 USD, which is already a very cost-effective contract for the players. Unexpectedly, his crazy words are amazing. Naturally, Latrell Sprewell scared away other teams in the NBA, and finally disappeared without catching anything, losing 2 1 10,000 dollars.
Fourth, DeMarcus Cousins.
Before the Achilles tendon was torn, Cousins was recognized as the first center in the West, averaging 25 points 12 rebounds and 5 assists 1.6 blocks, which is the level of top players. Pelicans and heavy eyebrows form a twin tower. With such a big injury, there is widespread doubt about Cousins' post-injury condition. After assessing the risks, the home team Pelican offered a two-year contract of 40 million yuan and wanted to renew Cousins.
Frankly speaking, it is impossible to get a top salary with such a heavy injury. If Cousins can prove himself in two years, it doesn't mean that he won't get his top salary in the future. Unfortunately, the arrogant examiner doesn't think so. He wants to test the water in the free market.
After being beaten out of the water by the market, Cousins finally recognized the reality and finally succumbed to the Warriors with a small share of $5.3 million. As a result, Cousins didn't win the championship, his grades declined, and his body suffered new injuries, and he soon became a marginal person in the league. Asking for a basic salary is tortuous.
Third, Dennis Schr?eder.
After the opening of the free market this year, "where will Schroeder go?" It is a topic that many NBA fans are quite concerned about. Back last season, the Lakers came up with a four-year, $84 million contract extension in advance to talk to Schroeder. Frankly speaking, for a defender who averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds, and shot 43.7% and 33.5%, the contract offered by the Lakers was quite sincere.
Of course, the big reason is that the Lakers don't have enough salary space for summer reinforcement. Whether for personal use or after signing, the Lakers have to renew Schroeder's contract with bird rights to break through the salary cap. It is precisely because of this that Schroeder thought he had the initiative and rejected a four-year contract of 84 million dollars, with the intention of breaking the contract 1 100 million dollars.
No matter whether he thinks he is a player who breaks the standard of 100 million yuan or listens to the advice of his agent, he can only say that Schroeder really misjudged the situation. He underestimated the charm of the Lakers and the level of Pelinka & the market situation this year. You know, there are many excellent point guards in the free market this year, and Pelinka is quite sophisticated. After Schroeder refused to sign the contract, Pelinka immediately launched an action plan, moved to Westbrook to turn the situation around, and then successively signed contracts with veterans at low prices for strong support. All of a sudden, the Lakers can play more people in the backcourt, and Schroeder is worthless.
With the opening of the free market and the promotion of signing contracts, Schroeder has not found his next home. To be sure, there are very few NBA teams that can offer Schroeder tens of millions of contracts. If he stays in the NBA next year, Schroeder's contract figures must be ugly. Compared with the Lakers' contract, he seems to have lost more than $60 million because of his inflated confidence.
Second, isiah thomas.
After playing the top point guard data averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists, Thomas Jr. was full of confidence, and "signing me with the money on the armored car" has become a famous stalk that has been passed down to this day. It should be admitted that Thomas Jr.' s performance in Green Kay is really amazing. As far as his figure and experience are concerned, he is really an inspirational legendary basketball player.
But it is an indisputable fact that little Thomas only has 175CM, and so is the risk of hip injury. In fact, it is very embarrassing for the team to build a team centered on defending black holes to maintain its competitiveness. In order to ensure the competitiveness of the team, it is understandable to leave more space in other positions.
As a result, Thomas Jr., who was looking forward to the top salary, finally talked about the discounted contract renewal offered by the team (the mainstream said it was 4 years and 70 million yuan) and finally chose to refuse. As a result, Thomas Jr. was traded to the Cavaliers by the Green Army in August 20 17. Not long after, Thomas Jr. became a basic salary player or even unemployed for various reasons such as injuries and system changes. Judging from the follow-up experience, we can only say that the vision of the Green Army is still very accurate. Little Thomas does not accept the renewal, but it is better for them to extract the residual value of the extraction.
I. victor oladipo
As a negative example, Oladipo's classic is that he turned down two contracts with an annual salary of 20 million dollars in the same season, and then had to sign a basic salary because he was cold in the market.
After joining the Pacers, Oladipo really made a star performance and became a highly anticipated dual-energy defender. However, after the quadriceps tendon broke, he had to enter a long recovery period, and his performance declined after his comeback. After Audi was injured, Pacers began to operate and re-established a set of lineup and system for future operation, but they did not forget the old feelings. In fact, they also thought about leaving a place for Oladipo in the future blueprint, and offered him a four-year, $80 million contract.
But Audi wanted a top salary and turned down the Pacers. Unwilling to renew his contract, Pacers traded Oladipo to the rebuilt Rockets. After playing for a fairly stable period of time, the Rockets were willing to renew his contract with him for two years and 45.2 million dollars, but Audi refused again. As a result, the Rockets traded Oladipo to the Heat as a bargaining chip. After joining the Heat, Oladipo needed to continue to fight for the top salary, and it took him four games to be reimbursed for his injury.
Every time you change the environment, your performance will be almost worse. How can the market have confidence in such players? As a result, Oladipo can only stay in the Heat on a one-year basic salary contract. If he doesn't continue to prove himself next year, he will definitely become Thomas 2.0 Jr. I wonder if Oladipo will regret rejecting the Pacers' 4-year 80 million contract at this moment?
