$300 million in 5 years! NBA's biggest garbage contract, Mr. 70 million, you guys have lost a lot!
The normal NBA season continues, but big contracts continue to grow. Last summer, three youth team members signed up to their team for 5 years and 2A five-month contract with Edwards for the Timberwolves, Haliburton for the Pacers, and Ball for the Hornets. All three have one thing in common, and that is that their teams are all in a small city, which is not at all attractive to those superstars. Edwards, along with Gobert and Towns, make up a team that is the biggest dark horse in the East and maintains a leading position in this team.
Haliburton has also improved a lot, he is already the best playmaker in the NBA, his assists are also the highest in the league, under his leadership, their performance is very good, their average points, assists per game, shooting percentage, offensive efficiency, are the highest in the league. Although the new season has not officially started, Ball's New Orleans is still a very young team, and there is no need for them to rush to attack, and Ball's future is still unknown. 250 million in 5 years, which is not the most expensive one at present. Last season, the biggest trade in NBA history was Jokic, who signed a five-year, $270 million contract with the Nuggets at the age of 22, helping the Nuggets win last season's championship.
At the end of last season, the NBA maximum contract number was broken again. Celtics Jaylen Brown signed a five-year, $34 million contract with the Lakers and a salary of $69.13 million (2028-29) for the next year of his contract. That's far more than the combined wages of the Celtics' five starters for the 2008 championship (Ra, Ray Allen, Paul Pearce, Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins). Honestly, Brown is an All-Star, but to ask him to sign the biggest contract in NBA history would be a bit of a stretch, he's not a big star, he doesn't have an MVP, he doesn't have a championship, he doesn't even have a team manager, he's just a Celtics' second-in-command.
In fact, if you just look at this season, Brown is not eligible to enter the team's second road game at all, the Green Army has several strong starters, Tatum is also a key player in the team, and the Green Army also signed Porzingis, who averaged 20 points2 points, 69 rebounds, 19 blocks, his three-pointers and 37% three-pointers. Brown's average scoring average this season is 220 points 55 rebounds 37 assists, of which Brown shot 49% from three-point range, 34% from 3, and was even worse than Kobe, and his free throw was also 72%, which was the worst in the league. White has also performed very well this season, both offensively and defensively, and has played well in key moments, and many times it is when he turns the tide.
In fact, Brown's shortcomings are also obvious, he lacks organization, his attacking style is simple, his control of the ball is poor, and his form is not very good. As the season progressed, Brown's form began to decline, and since joining the team in February, Jaylen Brown has appeared in five appearances, averaging 16 points per game, and has only one 20+ shot, just four of 20 shots, and just 20% three-point shooting. Also, Jaylen Brown has 4 in all 5 games4 assists, but he averages 36 mistakes, which is the ninth largest in the league. During that time, Jaylen Brown only had -26 plus or minus. 70 million level? The reason why the Celtics are willing to offer Brown a big deal of $300 million over five years is because they have extra money.
Moreover, the Green Army's current ** for Brown is also a potential risk, that is, they will offer Tatum a higher salary cap contract, Tatum is the owner of this team. Tatum will receive a 5-year 338 million max contract. Tatum's contract is definitely no worse than Brown's, two top contracts, limiting their salary, and they are both creative, the lower limit is very high, and the upper limit is also difficult to get, last year's two champions were put in prison, and now, they are getting a good salary, which is definitely a huge loss for them. The Celtics have played well this season, and their record is also very good, and it is unknown how far they can go in this playoffs.
