On December 22, Beijing time, Clippers star Leonard accepted an exclusive interview with reporters today. When it came to the topic of the free agent market, Leonard’s remarks aroused great attention from fans. Because he was regarded by the Clippers as the core of the team, he expressed the idea of jumping out of the contract, which also put the Clippers into a very embarrassing situation, let's look at the specific situation together!
Because Leonard has player options next summer, his staying and leaving issues have received great attention. When asked what he thinks of the free market, Leonard gave this answer,
"I won't say whether I will stay or leave, but if I stay healthy, then my best option is definitely to get out of the contract."
"However, refusing to implement the player option does not mean anything. I am only focusing on this season. , So even if I jump out of my contract next summer, I’m not completely sure whether I will stay or leave.” Leonard’s words of
really answered very well, although he did not give a definite answer on the question of whether to leave or leave. What he meant is already obvious, that is, he will be out of the contract next summer.
Maybe some fans will be surprised. Didn't Leonard say that he will refuse to execute the player option and jump out of the contract if he is healthy? In fact, this is a very tactful statement. After all, no player will be okay to curse himself for injury. Leonard's attitude this time has been very clear, that is, jumping out of the contract is his best choice for next summer.
So why would he want to break out of the contract? In fact, all of this is traceable. The Bucks star Antetokounmpo previously signed a five-year US$228.2 million super contract. I believe this incident also makes fans feel the charm of the "super contract", and this is also a concept. An important factor for Nader to get out of the contract is the Antetokounmpo effect!
, as the 15th pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, Leonard’s NBA’s effectiveness will reach 10 years next summer, and 10 years of NBA experience means Leonard meets the 35% salary cap. 10-year maximum salary qualification.
In this way, he can sign a five-year $228.2 million super contract with Antetokounmpo. Such a generous contract is indeed enough to impress every player's heart, not to mention Leonard, who has received great attention. The star.
More importantly, the Clippers had previously reached a 4-year $190 million early renewal with George the Clippers. At the same time, there are contracts such as Antetokounmpo and Gobert that continue to stimulate Leonard.
This also made Leonard's desire to sign a super contract start to move around, so it is not difficult to understand that Leonard wants to jump out of the contract next summer, he also wants to get a five-year US$228.2 million super-max contract!
