It’s incredible. The Denver Nuggets gave Jokic a five-year, 270 million super contract, of which the last year is a player option. It is reported that ’s new contract with teacher will be in the 2023-24 season. Officially effective, the jaw-dropping fifth-year salary is as high as $61 million. It can be seen that the Nuggets have already put the pressure on Teacher Yue for the next five years. It is worth mentioning that Teacher Yue is only 27 years old, and he also won the regular season MVP last season, averaging 27.1 points + 13.8 rebounds + 7.9 assists per game. This is also the 13th consecutive Most Valuable Player in NBA history , In addition, Teacher Yue is also the first player in history to average at least 25 points + 13 rebounds + 6 assists per game. He is also the first player to average at least 2000 points + 1000 rebounds + 500 assists in a single season. It can be seen that today's big players In the small ball era when tall people were not popular, having an appointment with a teacher was indeed special!
And Ayton , who is also a big inside center, did not have such a good fate. On July 13th, Beijing time, according to the latest news from NBA reporter Micheal Scotto, the Phoenix Suns officially provided Ayton with a one-year qualifying offer of US$16.4 million. If Ayton chooses to sign this qualifying offer contract, then he will have the right to veto the transaction and cannot be traded before January 15th next year. At the same time, there will be more teams with unlimited salary space in the next summer offseason. Ayton will then listen to Quotation. But having said that, Ayton is also the No. 1 pick after all. Last season, he averaged 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, also contributed 17.9 points and 8.9 rebounds. The data proves that Ayton is not inferior at all in tough battles. Therefore, compared with the 270 million contract signed by the teacher, Ayton finally recognized the true face of the Suns management.
html The qualifying offer of US$16.4 million in 31 years is simply insulting. If Ayton agrees to sign, he will become the first No. 1 pick in NBA history to receive a qualifying offer. If it is not comparable to Teacher Yue, then how should we explain the $200 million Gobert in 5 years? Is Ayton not even as good as Gobert? No wonder Ayton’s team angrily criticized the sun management at the press conference more than once. It is undeniable that the development of the small ball era has caused most centers to survive in the cracks, but players like Ayton can be regarded as the best in the small ball era. So delicious, so the Suns have always been hesitant about the maximum salary contract Ayton asked for. They are just using Ayton's value to reduce the maximum loss to seek profits. To put it bluntly, they are measuring whether Ayton will become a championship puzzle, or Weighing Ayton's trade value again.
Because the Nets star Kevin Durant hopes to join the Suns, this gives the latter the hope of winning the championship. However, Ayton makes the Nets greedy, so the transaction between the two parties has not yet begun. It’s over. Now, if Ayton rejects the Suns’ qualifying offer, then the Suns will re-evaluate and either stay with the team at the maximum salary or trade him. If staying with the team fails, then the Suns will use Ayton to trade. has the greatest transaction value, and the potential next team is very likely to be the Nets. This means that Paul teaming up with Durant is just around the corner. I wonder what readers think? Welcome to comment in the message area!
