There is still 3 years and 100 million contract! Like Paul George, the Lakers escaped, otherwise they would have ruined their hands.

According to the NBA China official website, George will miss the early stage of training camp, and Embiid's knee situation is not optimistic.

Putting aside Embiid, how did George perform in season 24-25?

In terms of data, the average average of 16.2 points is the lowest since the rookie's first two seasons. The real hit rate of 54% in high-order data is a sharp drop compared to 61% in the previous quarter, and the positive and negative value of the real offense brought by -0.5. What is

-0.5?

1, Tatum value 4.4;

2, Barret value 1.3;

3, Knecket value -0.1.

The "old show" that was crazyly criticized by Lakers fans are higher than George, and it is conceivable how poor the latter's offensive efficiency is.

In fact, when George was present, 76ers scored 108.3 points in a hundred rounds, and when he was not present, 111.2 points in a hundred rounds. The difference of 2.9 largely shows that George's offense against the team is a side effect.

There is still a three-year, 160 million contract. Coupled with the unknown factors caused by injuries, it can be basically concluded that George's 76ers are a hit - the contract is not cost-effective. Not to mention stars like Paul Banchero and Towns, even non-All-stars like CJ McCollum, the Wizards are unwilling to take over.

is still related to a large contract.

According to the NBA China official website, there is no progress in the Trail Blazers' trading Grant and is expected to play as a substitute in the new season.

For Grant, there are two good points to explain.

First, hold the investment.

First, compare with yourself.

1, 22-23 shooting accounted for 38%, and the shooting rate was 40.3%;

2, 23-24 biathlon values were 31.2%, and the shooting rate was 38.7%;

3, 24-25 biathlon values were 15.0%, and the shooting rate was 31.2%.

Secondly, compared with the league.

1. Booker's shooting accounted for 53.4% and his shooting rate was 43.4%;

2. Jaylen Brown's two-year digits were 36.8% and his shooting rate was 35.9%;

3. Jaylen Green's two-year digits were 44.5% and his shooting rate was 32.7%. According to the comparison data of the two groups of

, Grant's holdings showed a clear trend of regression, and the league is an inefficient existence in terms of efficiency.

Second, contract.

As shown in the figure below, even this summer, Grant still has a 3-year and 100 million contract. To put it more, the 36 million yuan in the 27-28 season is the player option, but it will basically be executed. After all, if you jump out, you will definitely not get an annual salary of this price.

To sum up two points, Grant is very similar to George to a large extent - wearing a big contract but his combat power has declined severely, resulting in a low cost-effectiveness or even no.

Now it seems that fortunately the Lakers did not trade Grant last season and this summer, so they escaped, otherwise they would have lost their hands.

What to say if you miss your hands?

First, cost-effective. If Grant had an annual salary of tens of millions, it would be relatively easy to deal with. But the problem is that the annual salary exceeds 30 million, and the combat power is reduced, so the cost-effectiveness is not high.

Second, fame. If it were George, there might be some chess like Jazz and Hornets to "bet" but they wouldn't bet on Grant, who was not very famous. To put it bluntly, popularity cannot reach the point of selling tickets.

To sum up two points, it can be understood as not trading outside, and not having good combat power inward - just like George, on the offensive end, it is almost a side effect for the team.

Finally, sometimes Pelinka is not as useless as fans think.
