In the NBA, it is now common to have an annual salary of tens of millions, and every star will work hard to show himself for a big contract, but there are also some players in the NBA who missed their original big contract due to injuries, decision-making mistakes and other reasons, and finally did not sign a big contract or faded out of the NBA.
1. Thomas Jr. rejects a 4-year, 70 million contract.
Thomas Jr. at his peak was known as the strongest 175 on the surface and the king of the end, averaging 28 per game in the 2016-2017 season9 points, and finally played with an injury, bringing the team to the Western Conference Finals, at that time he thought that he would definitely get a contract extension with a maximum salary of hundreds of millions, but the team only gave him a 4-year 70 million contract, he felt humiliated and refused directly, and the result was that the base salary was transferred to various teams, but he could no longer play efficiently, and finally regretfully withdrew from the NBA.
2 Cousins turned down a two-year, $40 million contract.
In 2018, Cousins was seriously injured in the regular season, the season was reimbursed, and the team went out to consider only giving a 2-year 40 million contract, Cousins felt insulted, and after refusing, he turned around and signed with the Warriors with a base salary of 5 million for 2 years, wanting to mix a championship, but unfortunately in the end, Cousins never came out of the injury, and finally faded out of the NBA, wandering around various other leagues, it is worth mentioning that Cousins also rejected the King's 5-year 200 million contract.
3. Oladipo rejects a 4-year, 80 million contract.
Oladipo is definitely an inspirational representative, playing hard, playing his own spring with the Pacers, and won the Most Improved Player award, but unfortunately he ruptured his Achilles tendon in the game and suffered a major injury, but the team still offered a 4-year contract of 80 million, if he is healthy, he is definitely more than this value, but after the big injury, he is definitely worth it, but he refused, thinking that he could get better, the reality is that he has been injured since then, and he can never return to his peak, Although he can continue to play in the NBA now, his annual salary is around 10 million.
4 Schroeder rejected a four-year, eighty-million-dollar contract.
Schroder is a point guard who has played a value next to James, and the Lakers have offered him a four-year contract extension of 80 million, but he thinks he deserves a higher contract, and even refused to play in the World Cup for the German team, but in the end no one signed, he can only sign with other teams with a base salary, and his performance is getting worse and worse, and now Schroder plays for the Raptors, his performance is decent, and the contract is around 10 million.
