The Suns performed well during the offseason, but not good enough.
Three weeks after entering the free agency market, the Suns introduced Landry Schmet, Elfried Payton, and JaVale McGee as substitutes and competed with the starters. Renewed with substitutes, Frank Kaminski and Abdul Nadir. This team is the interpretation of "continuity": 5 of the 5 starters and 6 substitutes who won the Western Conference remain on the team.
But... in order to maintain their complete starting lineup after this season, they still have some contracts to negotiate.
Andrew Ayton and Mikel Bridges are both eligible for early renewal. Every year, about 5-10 people perform particularly well in the first three seasons of their careers and can complete the first round of the renewal early; in order to retain them, the team usually communicates with them frankly a year in advance instead of risking losing them. The risk of entering the free market restricts players.
The sun is no exception.
Renewal of the first-round show in the past two years: 8 games in 2019 and 10 games in 2020.
So far this summer, there are only a few weeks left before the training camp. Four 18th-level rookies have completed their early contract extensions:
Luca Dansis (Dallas): $207 million in 5 years, 30% of the top salary cap
Trey Young (Eagle): $172 million in 5 years, 25% of the salary cap maximum salary (if selected as the best in the 21-22 season) Players, it can be increased to 30%)
Shea Giljes Alexander (Thunder): $172 million in 5 years,25% of the salary cap maximum salary (if you can be selected as the best player of the 21-22 season, it can be increased to 30%)
Robert Williams (Celtic): $54 million in four years
Teams can renew their contracts with rookies at the beginning of the free market, and only need to provide the best offer to the young people in the team. Three years ago, the Suns gave Devin Booker a maximum salary, just like the Eagles and Thunder. Dancsics received a rare super maximum salary, and only after being selected to the NBA All-NBA team twice in the first three years can they sign. Robert Williams is one of the few players who did not renew his contract with a high salary.
At least 6 boasted 18th rookies will complete their contract renewals, which may be the newcomers who reached the maximum number (10 players) a year earlier in history. Let's use Robert Williams (often starting) as a barometer of this rookie's early contract renewal. We may witness more than 12 rookies complete their contract renewal before the end of summer.
Andrew Ayton (ranked 1st), Jay Jackson Jr. (ranked 4th), Colin Sexton (ranked 8th), Mikel Bridges (Ranked 10th), Michael Porter Jr. (ranked 14th) and Don Di Vincenzo (ranked 16th) are the permanent starters of their respective teams, and Wendell Carter Jr.
Among the 9 newcomers above, 3 are for the sun.
The Suns may handle the contract with Shmet in the same way as Ubre-not completing the renewal early, and then staying in the restricted free agent market next year to see what happens.
Update Bridge and Ayton are different stories. If they can’t reach a reasonable contract extension this summer, the team is likely to make them very frustrated.They will be dissatisfied throughout the season. Considering that they are two of the team's four best starters, the team can't do that.
Will Aton get the maximum salary contract? High probability. Of course, his "team" will insist on the same salary as Trey Young and Alexander, which is equivalent to 25% of the salary cap-$172 million in 5 years, including the incentive clause to enter the best NBA team. Sun obviously didn't want to give him such an offer, otherwise he would have renewed his contract long ago.
Maybe the sun is trying to reach a contract extension agreement similar to John Collins-$125 million in 5 years. Slightly lower than the maximum salary, but the salary is still good. Will Ayton accept this contract? Probably not. However, Collins had to work tirelessly for this contract until the rookie's four-year contract expired.
Seth Paterno is currently working at The Athletic, and he has been with the Bucks for three years. He and I participated in this week's solar panel project, and he talked about the amount of Aton’s contract renewal.
Paterno said: "If Ayton finally gets a maximum salary contract that accounts for 25% of the salary cap, I think it will be a very high amount, but no matter what level it looks at, it will not be A bad thing. Especially considering that in the next 2-3 years, ’s salary cap will rise again.”
He continued: “From the sun’s point of view, we are renewing Chris. After Paul and Devin Booker, their salary space has not been very flexible in recent years. It's just a matter of money, but this team is playing very well."
Pa Teno went on to point out the huge advantage Sun already has-the team and even these young people played very well in the playoffs, and they helped the team reach the finals in the first playoff game.
"You can't always expect it,Paterno said. "There are very few players who have signed a rookie renewal contract. They are one of the five starters who have participated in the Finals. "
I also contacted Bobby Marks, a salary expert at ESPN. He previously worked in the management of the Nets, which coincided with Paterno. The salary of the maximum salary contract is for Now Ayton is a bit high, but considering his playoff performance, rapid growth trajectory and rising salary cap, Bobby also agreed to Ayton's early renewal.
As for Bridges Paterno believes that his annual salary should be less than or around 20 million US dollars. According to Ayton’s maximum salary renewal reference index also applies to Bridges: He proved his worth in the playoffs, career The trajectory of continuous improvement, the salary cap keeps rising.
The Suns know what the team can get from Bridges and Ayton, and the players' agents know what their players can do for the team.
I hope they can reach an agreement with the team. I hope that under the leadership of James Jones, there will be no hindrance to the renewal negotiations.
