's previous Xiaoka suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and has undergone surgery. This injury is definitely fatal to the player. If the recovery is good, it can still maintain the state. If the recovery is not good, it may be a tragedy like Ross ! For players, the first and most serious injury is definitely the body, and secondly, it also particularly affects their contracts. Especially for a player like Xiaoka, who is on the verge of expiring his contract, suffering such an injury will be a big blow to his future career!
This year's Xiaoka has a player option. If he jumps out of the contract, he can naturally sign a contract with a higher annual salary, longer time and more security. If there is no injury, then Xiaoka jumps out of the contract, which is basically a foregone conclusion. Because of jumping out of the contract, even if he signs with the Clippers, he can win a higher contract, and if he chooses to leave, it will be very easy. But after suffering this serious injury, many people are wondering whether he will jump out of the contract and have the courage?
According to NBA reporter Michael Scotto, after the Clippers announced that Leonard had undergone surgery to repair the ACL in his right knee, an executive he interviewed said that Leonard will definitely jump out of the contract. Because he considered that after Durant ruptured his Achilles tendon, he could still get the max salary.
The injury of the ligament tear is naturally inferior to the Achilles tendon rupture, and the small card is only partially torn! So, does Xiaoka really think of himself as Durant? Durant was able to get a max contract after his Achilles tendon ruptured because of his ability.First of all, he is not a physical player. His shooting feel is too good. Second, before the Achilles tendon ruptured, he had won 2 consecutive FMVPs. Such dominance is indeed very good. He has proved himself. Can change a team!
And Xiaoka's personal ability is not as good as Durant's first, and the impact of injuries will greatly reduce his proud defense. And in the Clippers, he actually did not prove that he can lead the team to win. Before he came, the Clippers relied on 2 substitutes to fight the Warriors for 6 games. After he came, the 3-1 lead in the second round was reversed. This year, he was in the tiebreaker. Without him, he advanced to the Western Conference Finals, which is really embarrassing! But if he really dares to jump out of the contract, then he also has confidence that he is a player of Durant's level!
But to be honest, at this level of players, even if they are seriously injured, there are still teams that can take over. Compared with this year's offseason, there are too few free agents. And there are too many teams that want to get results quickly. So they will definitely grab the small card. If he jumps out of the contract, he can sign up to a four-year, 170 million contract. I believe many teams will give him this contract.
To tell the truth, if Xiaoka jumps out of the contract, then the pattern of the alliance may change greatly. Because of a player like Xiaoka, you never know what he is thinking, and the team that pursues him also has the Heat, a big market like the Knicks. Once he really leaves the Clippers, the league will be turned upside down!
