The ESPN expert group of famous American media recently launched a vote on the players who may apply for a deal next season. The top five votes are Zion (10 votes), letters (7 votes), James (6 votes), Morant (1 vote), and Trae Young (1 vote). They are all players with some stories during the offseason, with the most news about letters. The Knicks even stayed a long time before reuniting with Da Qiao. There are many teams who have been watching the letters, let’s talk about them one by one!
1. Zion
In fact, there were various news last year that the Pelicans were going to give up the Fat Tigers, but they remained in the end. In fact, there is a reason, which is the change in the Pelicans' management. Now Joe Dumas has replaced David Griffin as the team's main decision-maker. So the new decision-maker's attitude towards Zion can only depend on his own performance now. If Zion can be healthy and return strongly in the new season, it is estimated that the team will not have any problems with him. Moreover, his contract includes health regulations, appearance regulations, etc. If it is not met, a lot of money will be deducted.
But many people believe that if Zion can get a strong start in the new season and get rid of the injury problems that have long plagued his career, then he will be completely likely to choose to embark on a "new journey" rather than staying in this Pelicans, which seems to be in a stagnant and unrest. In the end, he will apply for a transaction like Davis, which is why he gets the most votes. Both the management and him have reasons for breaking up.
2. Letters
have had enough of the situation of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years, so it was a hot topic in the offseason. I am now at my peak. The league's number one power forward must want to taste the taste of the championship again, so he can understand that he wants to leave. In order to retain the letters, the Bucks management also did a lot of work during the offseason, buying out Lillard in full, then signed center Turner with a contract of 100 million yuan, and some signings and renewals.
However, it is reported that letters are still watching the team's future and their own future. If the Bucks start the new season with a poor record, it is not ruled out that the letters in the middle of the season will apply for leaving.
3. I believe everyone is very clear about James
James's affairs. The core and future of the Lakers are already Doncic. I did not discuss contract renewal with James this offseason, so it is not surprising that James would propose a deal in the middle of the season. But if James wants to change teams, it will be very complicated and not as simple as he imagined to change teams. Considering his age, high salary, and the "trade veto power" given to him in the contract, it is extremely difficult to achieve a transaction.
So it is very likely that James will finish his last season with the Lakers and then decide to stay and stay in the offseason next year, and will there even be a possibility of retirement?
4.Morant
Personally, I think that if Morant leaves, it should be the Grizzlies who want to trade him, and it is unlikely that he will raise it on his own initiative. His contract has three years left, with a salary of nearly 127 million yuan, and the last year is the player option. The Grizzlies now have a taste of rebuilding. Morant’s condition has not been very good in the past few years. Injuries have always revolved around him. Moreover, after the “gun show” incident, it has had a great negative impact on himself and the team. Maybe leaving is a good choice for both sides.
5. Trae Yang
Trae Yang was mainly due to contract issues. The Hawks did not discuss contract renewal issues with him this offseason. Seeing Doncic in the same class very easily get the maximum salary, Trae Yang must be unbalanced. Some time ago, he also publicly expressed his disappointment online. So it should be only a matter of time before Trae Yang leaves the Eagles. There are only two ways in the Eagles’ future, either cut the salary and renew the contract, or sign it first and then exchange it.
