7.9 million US dollars per year! 5.99 million US dollars per year! The most embarrassing star was born, the NBA is just a business

The NBA league is worth every inch of land, the league and team owners make a fortune, and the salary of players also rises! During this offseason, a total of nine stars in the NBA signed large contracts of over 100 million, namely Alexander (US$285 million in 4 years), Pelter (US$104 million in 4 years), Turner (US$107 million in 4 years), Jaren Jackson Jr. (US$240 million in 5 years), Jabarry Smith Jr. (US$122 million in 5 years), Randall (US$100 million in 3 years), Reed (US$125 million in 5 years) and Irving (US$119 million in 3 years). The high-paying carnival in the NBA belongs to young people, but not every young person can get what they want. Both the right time, place and people are indispensable. Looking at the current alliance, there is a young man in the east and west who is eager to get a decent big contract, but his situation is becoming increasingly awkward.

1 USD 7.9 million, Kumingga is more enthusiastic than the sky, and the most embarrassing young star is Kumingga of the Warriors! Kumingga is a lucky guy. He won the NBA championship with the Warriors in the season and was once regarded as a key training target by the Warriors. But the unfortunate thing is that Kumingga's simple, rough and brainless style of play seems out of place with the Warriors' multi-axis passing system - the Warriors hope that everyone can play without the ball, and after getting the ball, he first thinks about others, and Kumingga's real magic weapon is to solve it with his explosive physical fitness. Especially after Butler arrived, Kumingga's ball rights were getting less and less, and his presence was getting less and less. Even Cole made it clear in an interview: I dare not use Kumingga too much, but it does not mean that he is not a good player, nor does it mean that he has no talent. It only means that he is not suitable for our lineup. Kumingga's contract has expired. In the past year, the issue of Kumingga's contract renewal with the Warriors has been intermittent, and the two sides have never reached an agreement. Kumingga is eager to get a long contract with an average salary of more than US$30 million.

In this offseason, the Warriors issued a one-year, $7.9 million qualification offer for Kumingjia in accordance with the labor-management agreement, and the latter became a restricted free agent. The Warriors act according to the rules, which implies: Kumingga can go to the free agent market to try the waters, and we can decide whether to match depending on the situation. In the past season, Kumingga played 47 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 15.3 points + 4.6 rebounds + 2.2 assists per game. In the eight games of the playoffs, Kumingga averaged 15.3 points + 2.5 rebounds + 1.3 assists per game. Especially after Curry was injured in the playoffs, Kumingga seized the opportunity and scored 20+ in three consecutive games, including 30 points in one game! Kumingga is worth more than US$7.9 million. According to US media, he not only wants a big contract, but also wants to be trusted by the management to be the core of the team. Obviously, as long as Curry Butler and Green are still there, the Warriors cannot satisfy Kumingga's "appetite". If Kumingga cannot find a satisfactory new owner, he may have to return to the Warriors to "compromise" with a low salary.

$5.99 million in 11 years, Thomas became a magic weapon for playing bad things

Eastern, the most embarrassing young star is Thomas of the Nets. Thomas and Cumingga are both rookies in the 2021 class, but they have caught up with the Nets' "turbulent" reconstruction period, and his positioning in the team is also the same every day! When the team has stars such as Durant, Bridges, and Electric Fans, Thomas can only play the role of a bandit on the bench, the dragon must be the first to bend, and the tiger must be the first to be lying; when the team's wounded soldiers are completely lying down, Thomas plays the role of a magical tool. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the game, Thomas can really score like cutting melons and vegetables, and has had many crazy performances of cutting 40+. In the past season, Thomas was troubled by injuries and played 25 games for the Nets, averaging 24 points + 3.3 rebounds + 3.8 assists + 2.2 three-pointers. His scoring, rebounds and assists were all career highs. Thomas' contract has expired, and the negotiations on renewal between him and the Nets have also been slow to make progress. During this offseason, the Nets issued a one-year, $5.99 million qualification offer for Thomas in accordance with the labor-management agreement, and the latter also became a restricted free agent. The difference from the Warriors is that the Nets are the team with the most abundant salary space this offseason; unlike Cumingga, Thomas has not had high requirements. Thomas once made a clear statement in an interview: I am 100% eager to return to the Nets and only seek a four-year, $100 million contract. But what about the Nets' attitude? Nets Daily pointed out incisively: The Nets are not interested in Kumingga and do not want Thomas to leave. Staying calm is the team's top priority at the moment. The implication is that the Nets are not willful in their money. With almost no competitors, they can win and be invincible.

The most embarrassing star was born. The NBA is just a business

Kuminga or Thomas, they are all the best among the 21st rookies, and rely on their skills to make a living in the NBA league; they are all working hard and eager to get a decent big contract. But it is undeniable that neither Kumingga nor Thomas are truly strong people who can stand alone, and they are in the offseason with insufficient salary space, which determines that it is difficult for them to get a big contract that matches their own strength and is decent as they wish, and they will become the most embarrassing stars in the NBA! To put it bluntly, even if the salary of NBA stars rises, as long as the real team core can get a big contract, the ordinary majority will be treated as blue-collar workers after all! I have to say that Kumingga and Thomas need to see the reality clearly and accept the reality. This is the most real and cruel NBA. It is just a business, and those who know the times are heroes! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
