new season is about to begin. Starting today, NBA teams formally enter the preseason stage to adapt the team's new lineup. At present, the only problem facing the league is that some players refuse to be vaccinated, but today Wiggins has compromised and vaccinated. I believe that after the start of the season, these players have to do it for the benefit of the team. concession.
In addition, the recent issue of Porter’s contract extension has also aroused heated discussion among fans. The forward, who averaged only 19 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists, signed a maximum salary contract, which is really surprising. It is not difficult to see that now the league is becoming more commercialized and earning more and more. As the salary cap of continues to rise, more and more players sign the maximum salary.
Many fans questioned that Porter’s contract is likely to be a drag on the Nuggets. Although his abilities are good, he also revealed the glass attributes early. Many people in the league finally lost sight of everyone because of injuries. The league has never lacked people with high salaries and low skills. For example, Porzinkis, Wall , Love ! However, there are also some teams who are smart enough to win some high-yield players with lower salaries. The well-known American media "sportskeeda" recently selected the league's top five "base-paid and high-powered" players. Let's take a look!
fifth place. Kemba Walker Knicks ($17.8 million in 2 years)
Seeing this salary, you can hardly believe that this is Kemba Walker’s salary. The NBA All-Star point guard, as the leader of the Hornets who was once the only one, the contract's annual salary is even less than 10 million. Such a contract is also destined for Kemba Walker to be on this list.
It is worth mentioning that if this list was selected last year, Kemba Walker will definitely lose the selection.A season ago, Kemba Walker, who was wearing a large contract, was frequently injured and his condition was extremely poor. This is the main reason why Green Army made up his mind to send him away. But the healthy Kemba Walker is one of the top point guards in the league.
Fourth place. Sir Royce O’Neal ($27.9 million in three years)
Royce O’Neal has been in the Jazz since he entered the league, and for the past two years, Royce O'Neal's progress is also visible to the naked eye, and Royce O'Neal has gradually become a stable starter for the Jazz. Last season, Royce O’Neal averaged 7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, of which 44.4% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range. In the playoffs, Royce O’Neal played even better. In performance, his scoring average rose to 11.3 points, his field goal percentage rose to 48.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage rose to 42.1%. Such a player has an annual salary of less than 10 million.
third place. Claude Sun (2 years $19.9 million)
Claude has a solid defense and a tenacious fighting attitude, as well as a stable three-point shooting. Although in the playoffs of last season, occasionally some games played a little offensively, but his defense provided a great help to the Suns. In the playoffs last season, Crowder averaged 10.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1 block per game. Among them, Crowder maintained a 38% shooting percentage from three-pointers. Such a player is fully worthy of a ten-million-dollar contract, which shows the high cost performance of this contract.
Second place. Wood Rockets (27.9 million US dollars in 2 years)
Wood was originally the Rockets’ ultimate reinforcement for Harden, but Harden finally decided to leave.But this does not prevent Wood from playing excellent data in the Rockets. Wood averaged 21 points and 9.6 rebounds per game with the Rockets, including a field goal percentage of more than 50%. However, Wood is no longer one of the core of the Rockets' reconstruction, but once he enters the trading market, he will surely bring a first-round pick for the Rockets, which means extraordinary for the reconstructed Rockets. Wood, who enjoys the title of "Little Thick Eyebrow Brother", is still in the upswing of his career, and his annual salary of 2790 in 2 years is also very cost-effective.
First place. Dort Thunder ($3.7 million in 2 years)
Putting aside the salary cuts of veterans, can you sign super-value players in the NBA if the annual salary is less than 2 million? ? The Thunder signed Dort for $3.7 million in 2 years. I wonder if you can still recall the 19-20 playoffs, how brave Dort played when he faced Harden and led the Rockets. , Both defensively and scoring, are extremely tough. Last season, he averaged 11 points per game, which is an important part of the Thunder's offensive system. Even more incredible is that in the remaining two-year contract, only $625,000 is the guarantee part, so this contract is really worth it.
At the same time, the league also has Capella , Sabonis , Holmes and Seth Curry _span2 are all cost-effective span players. Everyone thinks, what about the league's high-quality players?
