Today we will talk about the bad situation of six active players after rejecting a big contract:
Although the Lakers' 20-2 1 season was not successful, although Schroeder did not complete a good integration with James and Davis, in terms of personal performance, Schroeder is still worthy of recognition. After the whole season, Schroeder averaged 15.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists 1 steals on the regular court, while in James and Davis,
Seeing Schroeder's performance in the Lakers last season, and because the Lakers didn't want to lose Schroeder in vain, the Lakers began to discuss the renewal of the contract with Schroeder at the beginning of the season and gave him a two-year contract of about $33.4 million. Schroeder refused. Interestingly, after the contract renewal negotiations between the Lakers and Schroeder failed, the media who learned the news asked Schroeder about it. Schroeder said, "I want to renew my contract with the Lakers. The Lakers are a great team. I like to stay with the Lakers. " As long as this contract is fair to both parties. "
By the middle of the season, after seeing the good performance of Schroeder's team, the Lakers offered Schroeder another contract, raising it to $84 million for four years. It stands to reason that Schroeder should choose to accept this big contract. After all, his ability is almost equal to a contract with an annual salary of150 thousand to $20 million. There was still a premium of $84 million in these four years, but Schroeder chose to refuse.
202 1 offseason, the salary space of NBA teams is limited. Teams with space basically have their own renewal plans, and teams without space cannot give Schroeder a satisfactory big contract. Therefore, Schroeder, whose relationship with the Lakers broke down, had to sign a mini middle-class contract worth $5.9 million with the Celtics at 1.
In the 2 1-22 season, Schroeder played almost as well as the Lakers, and even a number of data declined. By the trade deadline, the Celtics, who knew that Schroeder couldn't stay, finally traded him to the Rockets, and Schroeder of the Rockets averaged only 10.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. The most important thing is that his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are poor.
According to Schlobben's season performance, it will be difficult for him to win a big contract in the offseason this summer, and even it will be difficult to sign a big contract of this level for four years and 84 million dollars in the future.
After being selected as the 23rd pick by the Jazz in the first round of 20 14, rodney hood showed a good shooting ability in his rookie season, and in the second year, Hood, who can average 14.5 points per game, became one of the main offensive firepower points of the Jazz. After the end of the 20 16- 17 season, it was well known that Hayward wanted to leave the jazz, and the jazz who knew that Hayward could not stay began to prepare for reconstruction.
Although Hood averaged only 12.7 points, 3.4 rebounds 1.6 assists in 16- 17 season, this did not affect the jazz's attention to Hood. During the offseason, the Jazz offered Hood a four-year and $70 million contract extension in advance, hoping to cultivate Hood into the team's top scorer. However, in the face of this situation,
Hood refused the Jazz 70 million offer contract only because the contract was too small. He thinks he has the strength to win a bigger contract. However, what Hood didn't expect was that the Jazz chose 13 Donovan Mitchell in the 17 draft, and Mitchell showed great personal strength as soon as he came up, so Hood's tactical position in the Jazz declined, although this season has arrived.
At first, the knight attached great importance to Hood. After all, he is a young talent with an average of 16.8 points. Unfortunately, Hood, as a pure pitcher, is not suitable for the Cavaliers' all-star tactical system. For the rest of the regular season, Hood averaged only 10.8 points per game. It is worth mentioning that Hood of the Cavaliers was even more arrogant, and Tyrone Lu even let him play in garbage time.
17- 18 After the end of the season, Hood, who became a restricted free agent, signed a qualification quotation contract with the Cavaliers at a price of $65,438 +0. At this point, the Cavaliers fell into reconstruction again after James left. 18- 19 season, hood is still tepid. In the middle of the season, the Cavaliers chose to take him away.
After coming to the Trail Blazers, Hood became a substitute behind Lillard, but his performance on the court was more efficient. Even in some games, Hood has become the key Mr. Blazers. In the 20 19 playoffs, Hood continued to play efficiently and helped the Trailblazers reach the Western Conference finals. During the offseason, Hood signed a two-year contract with the Trailblazers at a price of160,000 USD.
19-20 season, Hood got 1 1 3.4 rebounds 1.5 assists. It seems that everything is going well, and Hood has another chance to get a bigger contract. However, the injury suddenly attacked him. In the regular season between the Blazers and the Lakers, Hood broke his achilles tendon and was reimbursed this season. Even after his comeback in the following season, he became mediocre, averaging less than 5 points per game.
After the two-year contract of $6.5438+0.6 million with the Trailblazers expired, he successively signed basic salary contracts with the Raptors and Bucks, and was traded to the Clippers by the Bucks in the middle of this season. It is worth mentioning that in the Raptors' 20-265.438+0 season, Hood was reimbursed for injury again (the second metacarpal fracture of his left hand).
Today's Hood has been difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA, and may soon be eliminated by the league! After rejecting the four-year 70 million contract offered by Jazz, Hood has signed less than 30 million, which is not a big gap. Most importantly, unfortunately, he became a bench player at the age of 29.
Cousins was traded to the Pelican by the Kings before the start of the All-Star Game in 20 16- 17 season, which formed Cousins+Davis' double tower combination. The Pelican of that season failed to be selected for the All-Star Game, but it was very important for the team's future.
During the season of 17- 18, the super twin towers of Pelicans all played at the level of 25+ 10 per game. However, after playing 48 games, Cousins suddenly tore his achilles tendon and was reimbursed this season, which happened to be Cousins' contract year. Although many people thought Cousins' career was ruined, the management of Pelican offered him a two-year contract of 40 million dollars, on the grounds that Cousins averaged 25.2 points 12.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists 1.7 steals 1.6 blocks last season. However, the cousin refused, and
20 18 offseason free market, no team is willing to give Cousins a good contract except Pelican's two-year contract of 40 million dollars. Almost all the teams are watching carefully. It is estimated that many teams want to sign Cousins at an ultra-low price. After all, it doesn't matter if they simply gamble, win, get lucky and lose. Faced with this situation, Cousins was very helpless and angry, and then he joined the Warriors with a mini middle-class contract of $5.3 million 1 year.
Cousins joined the Warriors, which caused great controversy in the media. Many people blame cousins, but did cousins do something wrong? No, I didn't do anything wrong. This is just a decision to get back at the whole league.
Cousins has been in the Warriors for more than half a season. After his comeback, he has lost his speed and explosiveness. Although he can still steal 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists 1.3, he is not what he used to be. On the defensive end, he became a burden to the team. 18- 19 After the end of the season, Cousins joined the Lakers with a basic salary and completed the weight loss plan during the offseason. It seems that he still has a chance to prove himself, but in a training match in the offseason, Cousins suffered another injury of torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and announced the season reimbursement again.
Cousins, who came back from injury again, joined the Rockets after ending his one-year Lakers career, but at this time his competitive state declined more seriously, and his average score dropped below 10. Cousins didn't get the team contract in the offseason of 20021,and didn't sign a short contract of 10 with the understaffed Bucks Nuggets until the middle of the season to play.
Although still playing, Cousins has no future. After this season, it's hard to say whether he can still be in the NBA next season!
In the 20 13 draft year, Narens Noel was the top pick, but eventually fell to the sixth place due to injury. As a lottery program, Noel signed a contract with the 76ers for more than $120,000 in four years. Unexpectedly, in many years after the end of this contract, the sum of all the contracts he signed was not as good as this rookie.
Noel took a year off in his rookie season because of injury. In the 20 16- 17 season, all Noel, who averaged 8.9 points and 5 rebounds per game, was traded to the lone ranger. After coming to the Lone Ranger, Noel averaged only 8.7 points and 5.8 rebounds for the rest of the season. Although the data is not good, his talent in defense is still excellent, so the lone ranger gave him a big contract of $70 million for four years in the offseason of 20 17.
To tell the truth, according to Noel's data at that time, 70 million dollars for four years was already very good, but inexplicably, Noel refused the contract for a simple reason. Noel wanted a bigger contract, and finally Noel signed a contract with Lone Ranger for 1 year of 4 1 10,000 dollars, and Noel hoped to pass 17-6500.
During the offseason of 20 18, Noel joined Thunder with a two-year basic salary contract of $3.75 million, but he still failed to prove himself during this contract period and remained a substitute in Thunder. In the offseason in 2 020, Noel went to the Knicks with a contract of 1 5 million dollars. Although Noel averaged only 5. 1 6.4 rebounds in the regular court and 4.6 points and 4 rebounds in the 2020+0 playoffs, he won the favor of the Knicks with his excellent defense, so he won the favor of the Knicks with 2 1.
Even the current three-year $32 million contract is hard to compare with the four-year $70 million contract of the lone ranger. Add it up, it's less than $20 million! It is worth mentioning that after signing the big contract, Noel turned the tables and took his former agent Ricky Paul to court. He said that the reason why he refused the 70 million renewal of the Lone Ranger was because of the encouragement of Ricky Paul.
20 17 Summer Off-season, in order to get paul george, Thunder packaged and traded Oladipo and Sabonis Jr. to the Pacers. After coming to Pacers, Oladipo, who worked hard in the offseason, had a personal outburst. Oladi Bo has played 75 times in the regular season this season, averaging 34 minutes, and can get 23. 1 minute, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.38.
With his outstanding personal performance, Oladipo was also selected as the All-Star Team, the Best Team and the Best Defensive Team, and became the Most Advanced Player (MIP). At this time, he was only 25 years old. It can be said that Oladipo still has a very broad future.
In addition to good statistics, Oladipo's ability to lead the team has also been demonstrated in the Pacers. 17- 18 season, the Pacers reached the playoffs with the fifth record in the East under his leadership. In the playoffs, although the Pacers were eliminated in the first round of confrontation with the Cavaliers, Oladipo, who played seven series games, still averaged 22.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.4 steals per game.
In the season of 20 18- 19, Oladipo made an all-star performance despite the decline in personal data. However, on 2019 65438+125 October, the Pacers announced that Oladipo had torn a tendon in his right knee, and he would undergo surgery and be reimbursed this season. It is worth mentioning that after this injury, Oladipo is still plagued by nightmares and misfortunes.
19/20 season, Oladipo completed his comeback, but his personal performance was very average, and he only played19 games throughout the season. However, before the start of this season, the Pacers began to discuss the early contract renewal with him, and sent him a four-year, $80 million contract, but Oladipo refused. After the end of this season, Pacers once again raised the contract to $654.38+300 million years, but Oladipo refused. By this time, the Pacers already knew that Oladipo's heart seemed to be no longer in Indiana, so they had the idea of trading him.
In 20-2 1 season, Oladipo averaged 20+ per game again, but after 9 games, he was traded to the Rockets by the Pacers.
After Oladipo joined the Rockets, although the attendance rate was still problematic, the Rockets reached an early contract renewal with Oladipo with an average score of 20+ per game, so the Rockets offered Oladipo a two-year contract of $45.2 million, but Oladipo refused again, and then the Rockets immediately traded him to the Heat. However, in May of February12000, Oladipo underwent another operation on the quadriceps tendon of the right thigh.
During the offseason of 20021,Oladipo chose to renew his contract with the Heat with an annual salary of $2.39 million. 2 1-22 season, Oladipo completed his comeback in March of 22, and only played 8 games in the whole regular season. Most notably, in the last regular season of the Heat, Oladipo made his debut, playing for 35.5 minutes and 22 minutes.
Oladipo's injury caused this situation, but the injury he suffered was not a serious injury that affected his career. As long as he can stay healthy in the future, he still has the ability to play better, but can he still get a four-year contract of $65.438+300 million as the Pacers provided before? The difficulty is still great!
Thomas Jr., known as "the strongest player on the surface, 175", is definitely one of the most inspirational players in the NBA, even without this one. At a height of 1.75 meters, he can actually survive and shine in the NBA. This is really amazing, but it's amazing. Thomas Jr. is also a man whose heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper.
16- 17 season is the peak season of Thomas Jr.' s career. He was the absolute leader of the Celtics that season. That season, he averaged 28.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists, and led the Celtics to the first place in the East with a record of 53 wins and 29 losses. It is precisely because of such excellent personal data and the team's leading record that Thomas Jr. ranked in the top three in the regular season MVP voting.
With the MVP performance, the Celtics sent Thomas Jr. a four-year, $70 million contract. However, in the face of Celtic's offer, Thomas Jr. was obviously dissatisfied. He not only rejected the offer, but also publicly said to Danny Anji, then the general manager of Celtic, "You should renew my contract with a truckload of dollars." After the Celtics stopped raising the offer for renewal, Thomas Jr. is going to play for another year and then test the free agent market.
In the 20 17 playoffs, Thomas Jr. endured the grief of the death of his loved ones and chose to play with injuries. As a result, not only did he fail to stop the Celtics from going out, but his physical condition was also greatly affected. It can be said that after playing with an injury, Thomas Jr. will never return to the peak of his body, and once his body cannot return to the peak, it is difficult for him to continue to survive well in the NBA because of his height.
Although Thomas Jr. rejected the Celtics' four-year, $70 million contract renewal, he really wanted to stay with the Celtics and make them stronger, even at all costs. In the offseason of 20 17, Thomas Jr. took the initiative to recruit Hayward in order to help the Celtics reinforce. As a result, after Hayward chose to come to the Celtics, the Celtics traded Thomas Jr.
After joining the Cavaliers, Thomas Jr. took the lead in falling out of the Cavaliers' locker room for more ball rights. Finally, in the middle of 17- 18 season, Thomas Jr. was traded to the Lakers by the Cavaliers. After the Lakers played the rest of the season, it was difficult for him to find a good contract in the free market. Later, Thomas Jr. signed a one-year basic salary contract with Nuggets and Wizards respectively. Then, this season,
Four years ago, Thomas Jr. was a star player in the league. Now it is difficult for him to sign a short contract of 10 days. If time can come again, I wonder if he will choose to refuse the Celtics' 70 million contract renewal? Will you play with an injury in the playoffs?
