If a NBA player has only played 116 games and signed a maximum salary of 200 million, then you must think he is a historical superstar, right? But in fact it is not. He is only the third or even fourth choice of a team, and it is also a small team. He is Michael Porter Jr. . This morning, little Michael Porter ushered in good news. The Nuggets decided to provide him with a five-year contract with a full maximum salary of about 207 million US dollars!
What is this concept, a total value of 200 million contracts, in the history of the NBA, this is only the 7th appearance and the 6th person got it. The first five people are Gobert , Dongcic , Curry , alphabet brother , Weiss . Among them, Curry took two 200 million contracts. From the list of these people, we can also see that Antetokounmpo, Westbrook, and Curry are all MVPs. Among them, Antetokounmpo and Curry are both MVPs for two times. Westbrook is still the triple-double of history, and Dong Qiqi almost , But Doncic’s career average of 25.7+8.4+7.7 and 33.5+8.8+9.5 per game in the playoffs. He is only 22 years old. He is the absolute leader of the team. These are also incomparable to Little Porter.
is even incomparable with Gobert and Potter. In the Jazz, Gobert is not the best choice on the offensive end, but he alone propped up the entire team's defensive system. I have to admit that he is the best defensive center in the league today and won the best defensive player of the year twice. , Has been selected to the best defensive team many times, this is Gobert. And you little Potter, how can He De sign a 200 million max salary? Beside the teacher, Murray ,He is older than Doncic and has a history of serious injuries. He was reimbursed during his rookie season. He averaged 19 points per game last season and 14.4 points per game in his career. It doesn't look like a big guy with a 200 million contract!
However, the NBA is so wonderful, there are many things that we cannot understand. Little Michael Porter has played in 116 games in three years of his career, only 64 starts, and he won a maximum salary of 200 million, which is too cruel. However, in fact, there are people in the NBA who are more ruthless than him. They only played 31 games in the first three years of their career. They were still renewed in advance by the team and won a five-year maximum salary of 148 million, although the amount was 148 million. It was a lot different from 200 million, but this was also the full maximum salary that the team was able to provide him at the time. This person was Embiid.
Similar to Porter, Embiid suffered serious injuries early in his career, and even worse. He did not play in the first two seasons and only played 31 games in the third season. . But it was these 31 games that thoroughly convinced the 76ers’ management and those who questioned him. Similarly, the NBA career of No. 6 pick Noelle and the flower show show Okafor was scrapped. NS. In those 31 games, Embiid averaged 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. The data is not particularly luxurious, but for a repetitive rookie, it is considered very good. The most important thing is that, unlike other centers, Embiid has almost no weaknesses. Inside footwork, three-point long shots, and defensive deterrence are all top-notch.
So, in this case, the 76ers gambled on the future and used a five-year 148 million contract to renew Embiid in advance, which caused quite a stir at the time. Of course, in the 76ers’ 148 million maximum salary contract, there are many restrictive clauses, mainly to prevent him from recurring injuries. Therefore, according to the rumors at the time, the additional terms of the contract,Nearly 100 pages were written! However, in the later story, we also saw that Embiid remained healthy and played more than 50 games in the following four seasons. In the end, it also proved that the 76ers gambled on Embiid and they were right!
