seems calm, but in fact it is a surging undercurrent. This very common saying also applies to the stage of NBA. In the era of the materialistic business alliance , trading has become a common norm. Whenever the free market opens, it will inevitably cause turmoil and uneasiness among various teams.
From Durant as a free agent, he joined Golden State, destroyed James 's grand career, and helped the Warriors establish a dynasty, and then to Holiday airborne Milwaukee , helping the team win the cup again after 50 years. In a business era where trading is commonplace, a good deal is likely to change the future of a team, or even the entire league.
Today, a list of five transactions that can be said to be a bargain price during the offseason.
5, Lakers 1 years of 2.64 million signed with Schroder
Schroder, averaged 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, 43.1% shooting percentage, 34.4% three-point shooting percentage, and 85.3% free throw shooting percentage.
Schroeder is another German player who has become famous in the NBA after Decnowski . As a small guard, Schroder made a sharp breakthrough, had strong finishing ability at the basket of , and had stable shooting ability and organizational ability beyond the average level. He is a guard player with great talent on the offensive end .
20-21 season, Schroder played next to the Lakers' two giants and once reached its peak state. The Lakers also offered Schroder a four-year contract of nearly 80 million for Schroder many times, which also made Schroder famous. However, due to his youth and vitality, Schroder decisively rejected the Lakers' 80 million contract and asked for a large contract of hundreds of millions. also angered the Lakers for a time, causing this big contract that was within reach disappear. Schroeder also fell from a 5 million contract to an unwelcome situation.
During the offseason, all teams stayed away from this arrogant German defender. However, after once again achieved his peak performance in the European Championship, the Lakers were quick-witted and won Schroder with a one-year, 264 basic salary contract. This basic salary contract, which is similar to the big contract of that year, is definitely a huge profit for the Lakers.
As a defender who can average 15+6 per game, the Lakers won this starting defender at such a low price. , and the chemical reaction between Schroder and the Lakers will also be close to the water due to the past cooperation. Therefore, no matter from which aspect this contract is measured, the Lakers will make a lot of money, and even contribute to the opening of the dynasty again.
4, 76ers signed for 5.6 million in 2 years and 5.6 million in Harrell
This season, Montrez Harrell averaged 13.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2 assists per game, 64.5% shooting percentage, 23.5% three-point shooting percentage, and 71.6% free throw shooting percentage.
Harrell was selected by the Rockets in the second round of 2015. As a legend of low pick, Harrell once played in the peak period of Clippers . At the peak period of , he was once called the second player of Hum Ha with Lu Wei, and was the absolute leader on the Clippers' bench and won the best sixth man in the 2019-20 season.
2021-22 season, Harrell was sent away by the Lakers and successively moved to the Wizards and Hornets 3 Hornets 4. As Harrell, who was at his peak at the age of 28, the frequent transactions of once affected the competitive state of the bench bandit, and his hot personality became an important factor that deterred each team.
But as the championship puzzle, Harrell is still an excellent bench gangster. In a championship-level team like the 76ers, Harrell will definitely give out 120% of the energy to accumulate strength for the first championship in his career. Moreover, as a former teammate of Harden , Harrell's arrival is very likely to activate Harden's sluggish state. The two can better find chemical reactions. At the same time, Harden's master-level cake feeding ability, is very likely to make Harrell play in the peak state of the best sixth man period again. Therefore, no matter what, this 2-year, 5.2 million basic salary contract will be a treasure for the 76ers, and it will even become the team's secret weapon for the championship.
3, the Lakers signed Walker with 650 in one year
Lonnie Walker, averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, with a shooting percentage of 40.7%, 31.4% three-point shooting percentage and 78.4% free throw shooting percentage.
Walker was selected by Spurs in the first round of 2018. As an extremely aggressive scoring guard , Walker is a scorer with extremely confident shooting. Not only is he quick-witted, Walker's ball quotient is also very high. You can find opponents' defensive loopholes to get a more comfortable shooting opportunity. On the defensive end, Walker is also an extremely active defensive player, especially when defending an off-ball player. He is extremely focused and active. He is an extremely aggressive and diligent young player .
2021-22 season, Walker played for the Spurs. As a disciple of Popovich, Walker grew up amazingly. He gradually became a bench bandit to a young star who can stand alone. His performance ability of both offense and defense makes Walker extremely competitive, and he can also be said to be a young star with great potential.
During the offseason, due to the Spurs breaking up with Murray, completely entered the reconstruction period, and Walker, who became a free agent, also chose to leave the team. In the end, Walker, who ended his rookie contract, signed a one-year, 6.5 million middle-class contract with the Lakers. As a young star with both offense and defense, the Lakers can definitely be called a treasure-picking for this contract.
2022-23 preseason, Walker played 4 games for the Lakers. Walker's impressive performance once supported the team's backcourt. Although the Lakers' poor record in the preseason, Walker's performance is absolutely amazing. As a player with a contract of $6.5 million, Walker has definitely played an annual salary of tens of millions. I believe that in time, Walker will be even more explosive, and even become the scorer that the Lakers rely most upon after the two giants. Therefore, the Lakers' 1-year 6.5 million contract is definitely a treasure, and even played an important role in escorting the rise of the Lakers dynasty.
2, Warriors signed Wiggins for 109 million in 4 years and Wiggins, 2021-22 regular season averaged 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists, 46.6% shooting percentage, 39.3% three-point shooting percentage, and 63.4% free throw shooting percentage. Wiggins was selected by Cavaliers in the first round in 2014. As a Canadian with extremely outstanding physical talent, Wiggins was once hailed as the next James by the league after his debut, but due to various objective factors and the miscarriage of birth, Wiggins has never been able to realize his physical talent. , the bouncer and other factors are even less than the chosen son of the two-time dunk king Lawen , but he was always lukewarm during the Timberwolves , and was even snatched away the position of the team's boss by Towns , which is one of his own. Wiggins's health-preserving style was once criticized by public opinion.
2021-22 season, Wiggins ushered in the peak year of his career. After the Warriors made a comeback and became the league's super strong team again, as the second leader of the team, Wiggins was also selected for the All-Star starting lineup for the first time in his career with his outstanding performance and stable performance. During the playoffs, Wiggins staged a single-handed rescue scene several times, becoming one of the team's most outstanding superstars on both offense and defense. With the Warriors winning the championship, Wiggins, as the hero of the team's championship, has also seen a lot of wealth, and even many teams openly poached. Wiggins has also jumped from a much-criticized health-preserving brother to a superhero that everyone is crazy about.
During the offseason, the Warriors faced huge luxury taxes. The team's young player Poole refused to cut salary. Especially after the same fellow villager Hero won a 4-year, 120 million contract, Poole publicly forced the palace, and and had a shocking alliance with Green. Poole, who became a victim, deserved to get a 4-year, 140 million contract.
Logically speaking, as a young player, Poole has already received this big contract. As an All-Star starter, Wiggins' performance is still better than Poole throughout the season. has super physical talent, strong defensive strength, and even the ability to fight tough battles, but the Warriors have reached a contract extension with this young man who is not as good as himself, which also indicates that Viggins wants to stay in Golden State and the maximum salary contract is completely ruined.
It is reported that a few hours after the Poole contract was signed, Wiggins, who weighed the pros and cons, chose a 4-year, 109 million salary cut contract. Obviously, this contract Wiggins cut his salary by nearly 100 million, , but for the future of the Warriors and in order to stay in the championship, Wiggins could only sacrifice his ego and complete the Big Self in Golden State .
As a superstar, Wiggins' endurance of humiliation not only won him a reputation, but may also lay a solid foundation for the dynasty of Golden State. Wiggins has become another superhero who took the initiative to cut salary for the dynasty of Golden State after Curry and Durant. The Warriors almost signed a superstar with a super salary of nearly 40 million yuan at a super cost-effective bargain price, which can be said to have made a lot of money.
1, 76ers signed with Harden for 65.64 million in 2 years and 65.64 million, Harden, averaged 22 points, 7.7 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, with 41% shooting percentage, 33% three-point shooting percentage, and 87.7% free throw shooting percentage.
Harden was selected by Thunder in the first round in 2009. As a historically-level dual-efficiency position, Harden is extremely high on the court and is good at dividing the battlefield by grasping opponents' flaws, thus scoring easily. The ability to commit fouls is even more unique to the league. The league even had to restrict it by introducing Harden's rules. The three-pointer with a step back was perfect and once became a nightmare for defensive players. On the organizational side, , as the former assist king, Harden's outstanding overall view and the ability to feed cakes in the inside made Harden a contemporary Stockton. His super ability to score and organize both makes Harden a historical superstar .
2021-22 season, Harden experienced an extremely difficult season in his career. At the beginning of the season, due to the absence of Irving , Nets became the two giants from the Big Three. In the middle of the season, Durant's injury once again became the turning point for the disintegration of the Big Three. After Irving refused to come back and shared the pressure for Harden, Harden, who had long been extremely dissatisfied with Irving, broke out completely. forced the management to defend the game, and joined the 76ers by buzzer-beating, forming the king combination with Embiid .
After experiencing a sweet period, due to the ups and downs of Harden's condition, the team's record once again declined sharply. After the team stumbled into the semi-finals, after being suspended due to Embiid's concussion, Harden was unable to beat the team, and the team fell on the stage of the semi-finals again.
During the offseason, in order to win the championship, Harden resolutely chose to reduce his salary to stay in the team. He not only gave up the last year's maximum salary contract , but also signed a short-term contract with the team for a 2-year, 68.64 million salary cut of 14 million. , a contract with a salary reduction of 10 million, will definitely be a mushroom after the rain for 76ers. , and the 76ers have strengthened two excellent defensive players, Tucker and Harrell. has greatly improved the team's experience and defensive strength, and the team's prospects for winning the championship have suddenly increased again. No matter what the ultimate goal of Harden signing this contract, this contract with a salary reduction of 10 million yuan is definitely a joy for the 76ers. Such a cheap contract for is a treasure picking for 76ers, and is comparable to the most enviable cabbage contract in the history of 76ers. Regardless of whether they can win the championship or not, the 76ers will make a fortune, and it is definitely the only treasure picking contract in the history of .
