Who said that blue-collar workers cannot be paid higher than stars? The 5 best 3Ds in active service: Two of the Knicks

With the implementation of the new version of the labor-management agreement, everyone should have seen that many stars cannot get big contracts. Even if they win big contracts, it will be short-term. The team wants more flexible salary space, and they are afraid that long-term contracts will cause the team to be punished by the rich. Therefore, many blue-collar players even cut their salary and renewed their contracts. Russell only joined the Mavericks for 12 million in two years. Of course, not all blue-collar workers will cut their salary, and some top blue-collar workers can still win big contracts, even higher than many stars.

White

Derek White may become the second leader of the Celtics next season, but in the previous season of the Celtics winning the championship, he was just a team's puzzle, a 3D backcourt, responsible for leading and defending and opening up space, and occasionally playing the role of a ball holder. It is precisely because White knows everything and is very good at everything, so he signed a four-year and 120 million contract with the Celtics. You should know that as an All-Star, Van Jordan only has 50 million in two years this summer.

In this way, many teams think White is worth the money, and some teams even want to trade him, and the Celtics ask him for a very high price, asking for 3 first-round picks. White is at his peak, and is comprehensive enough and has the experience of a championship. It is reasonable to be robbed in such a situation. White averaged 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in the regular season last season, and performed very well.

Bridges

Bridges signed a four-year, 170 million contract with the Knicks this summer. Why is his blue-collar puzzle worth so much? First of all, Bridges is close to the level of a star. Although he is a blue-collar player, his abilities are better than most blue-collar players. In addition, Bridges is healthy enough. He has never missed games in his career. In terms of attendance, it is time to kill all the players in the league. It is time to give them some full attendance awards. He is worth so much money.

Bridges has excellent defense, and is good at shooting without the ball, and has certain ability to hold the ball. At the beginning, the Knicks gave him 4 first-round picks for the sake of trading. Now, except for superstars, the average All-Star is probably not worth so much. Bridges averaged 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks per game last season. He is indeed worth so much money.

Anunobi

Anunobi also had a high price at the beginning. He had already played at the star level during the Raptors and was considered the next small card, but he was not used as the core in the Knicks. He was more of a blue-collar role. Like Bridges, his greater value was on the defensive end. When he won Anunobi, the Knicks gave away two players who were expected to become All-Stars in the future - Barrett and Quickley. Both of them also won hundreds of millions of contracts.

Anunobi signed a five-year, 210 million contract with the Knicks last summer, which is more expensive than Bridges and White. Although some fans think it is a premium, if you don’t give such a large contract, you will definitely not be able to keep him.Anunobi is equivalent to 80% of Durant at a peak. His offense and defense are too excellent. He can switch to multiple positions and has stable scoring ability. Last season, he averaged 18 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks.

Aron Gordon

Godon signed a three-year contract with the Nuggets last year. Although Porter Jr. was the nominal third leader of the team, Gordon is obviously more reliable than him in terms of the team's role, especially in the playoffs, Gordon can give the team great help on both offense and defense. Many times he just sacrifices data and ball rights for the team. When the team needs him to do anything, he can also stand up to help the team win.

Gordon averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists last season. If Jokic had not been allowed to play the center of the ball, he would have been very good. Gordon's defensive ability is also underestimated. Perhaps his three-point shooting is different from many top 3Ds, but he is too outstanding in other aspects. In the summer, the Nuggets sent Porter Jr. but did not choose to send Gordon away, which says it all.

Turner

If Turner had not had stable ball-holding offensive ability, he might have become an All-Star center, but because of his lack of ball-holding offensive ability, he became a 3D center, which is defense and three-pointers. Or it can be said that he is a 3B center with three-pointers and blocks, similar to Daluo's role, but Turner is younger than Daluo, and Turner has a good three-point shooting ability. He can take a step back and three-point shooting at a center.

The defensive end can also switch to multiple positions. In the past two years, the Pacers have been able to reach the division finals for two consecutive seasons. Turner made an indelible contribution. In the offseason, the Bucks won Turner with a four-year, 109 million contract. The Bucks planned to let him replace Daluo's joint letters. Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season. Having said that, what do you want to say about these five players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
