The Trail Blazers extend the defensive star s contract for 4 years and 82 million. The Rockets have a reference object. Durant is so generous.

The Trail Blazers, who are in the Western Conference with the Rockets, are also facing the problem of early contract renewal for rookies, and they have already solved it.

The Trail Blazers first reached a four-year, $90 million early contract extension with Sharp. This offer had been sent half a month ago, and now Sharp has nodded in agreement. Sharp is 22 years old and 1.96 meters tall. He is the No. 7 pick in 2022. His characteristics are somewhat similar to those of former Rockets prince Jaylen Green. He is a shooting guard with a relatively single function and insufficient stability.

The market for players like this is not very good. The reason why the Rockets gave Jaylen Green a new contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million US dollars is to make a big deal in the future. The Blazers had no such considerations. They made an offer they thought was reasonable, and Sharp accepted it as soon as it was good.

After that, the Trail Blazers used 4 years and 82 million US dollars to renew the contract of defensive star Kamara. The player's agent confirmed that Shams broke the news that Kamara agreed to renew his contract with the Trail Blazers.

Kamara is 25 years old and 2.03 meters tall. He is a second-round pick in 2023. Like Ethan, his selling point is defense. The Rockets have a reference when talking about contract renewal.

Kamara played 78 regular season games last season, all of which were starts. He averaged 11.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 33 minutes per game. He shot 45.8% from the field, 37.5% from the three-point range, and 72.2% from the free throw line. Despite the Blazers' poor performance, Kamara was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team for his performance.

Previously, Kamara ranked 78th in ESPN's top 100 players, while Ethan was not selected. Ethan said he was underestimated and did not receive enough recognition.

Ethan is 24 years old. He is also 2.03 meters tall. He only played 57 regular season games last season, including 16 starts. He averaged 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks in 25 minutes per game. He shot 48.7% from the field, 34.2% from the three-point range, and 76% from the free throw line.

It can be seen from the data that Ethan's attendance rate is obviously not as good as Kamara's, his three-pointers and passing are also worse, and he lacks personal honors in defense.

Previously, some American media analysts believed that Ethan may want an annual salary of at least US$25 million. If Kamara is used as a reference, Ethan is obviously not worth $100 million over four years.

Rockets general manager Stone is very good at negotiating contracts, but Ethan is unable to take the initiative in negotiations due to factors such as attendance and progress. American media TA expects the Rockets to complete the contract extension with Ethan before the early renewal deadline (6 a.m. on October 21).

Stone helped Durant draw the pie, and the latter agreed to a significant salary cut. The Rockets officially announced that they have officially reached a contract extension with Durant. Previously, Shams, a well-known reporter, revealed that this is a new contract worth 90 million US dollars over two years, with a player option for the second year. Houston reporter Kelly Aiko said there is no bonus clause in Durant's contract.

Amen, one of the Rockets' new giants, said when talking about Durant's salary cut: He is really generous, that's what I want to say.

Previously, famous reporter Jack Fisher said that if Amen wants to get an early extension of the maximum salary contract with the Rockets, one of the prerequisites is that Durant needs to take a salary cut. Now that Durant has taken a significant salary cut, Amen may become the biggest beneficiary. He has the opportunity to become the only maximum-paid player among the Big Three in the offseason next year.

When talking about Durant's contract extension, Rockets head coach Udoka said: I hope he can end his career in Houston. Everything about him is related to basketball, and our goal is completely the same, which is to win the championship.
