90 million in 4 years! The Mavericks renew their contract with the forward player, Kuming s 30 million contract is hopeless!

According to the latest media reports, the Mavericks officially renewed the contract with the team's power forward PJ Washington. The two sides signed a four-year contract of 90 million, with an average annual salary of 22.5 million. This contract can give the Mavericks an A+ score, and the cost-effectiveness is really high! As a player who locked Paul George in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, Washington averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game last season, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 38.1%. He is a highly functional forward player!

Washington

After seeing the signing of Washington, I suddenly understood why the Warriors management was reluctant to issue a $30 million contract to Cuming during the offseason, because he was so much worse than Washington! Just looking at the data, Kumingga averaged 15.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game last season, which felt pretty good. However, on the offensive end, his three-point ability is very unstable, only 30.5%, his free throw shooting percentage is only 66.8%, and his rebounding ability and defensive ability are also much worse than Washington! As a player who joined the Mavericks in the middle of 2024, Washington helped to reach the finals in his first season of joining the team. He left many exciting scenes in the playoffs that year. The most exciting thing was that when the Mavericks faced off with the Clippers in the first round, he locked Paul George on the outside, and even knocked Westbrook to collapse. At that time, his arm-hug mocking action also welcomed the title of "Arm-hug brother". In the second round, Alexander also suffered many defeats. He defended Edwards in the West Finals and defended Tatum in the finals! Compared with Washington, Kumingga may be able to get training opportunities in the future, become an All-Star, and get a maximum salary contract, so he can now reject the Warriors' 2-year 45 million, a contract with an annual salary of the same as Washington. But with his current reckless style of playing blindly, a championship team definitely wants a championship puzzle like Washington, rather than a fool like Kumingga, so this season, Kumingga's 30 million contract is probably hopeless!
