I imagined that I had an annual salary of 30 million, but I only got 8.7 million! My heart was higher than the sky, and I really regarded myself as a superstar

There are still 20 days left before the start of the new NBA season. First, let’s pay attention to the latest signings in the league. First, congratulations to young player Lin Wei. Lin Wei's economic company officially announced: Lin Wei will join the University of Oregon to play in the NCAA Division I League in the new season, which has created the history of Chinese professional players moving to the NCAA. The University of Oregon is also the highest-ranking school for Chinese players to compete in the NCAA so far. Even if you failed to succeed in the NBA this year, going to the NCAA to play is also a good choice. You can get more opportunities for exercise. With the guarantee of appearance, you can play for up to three years. Your income is no less than that of the CBA, and your intensity has also increased. Last season, Lin Wei averaged 21 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Second, Nikolajovic and the Heat reached a four-year, 62.4 million early contract renewal. At first glance, I thought Jokic, but Jovic and Jokic were both teammates of the Serbian men's basketball team. The outside world has mixed reviews about this contract extension, and some fans think it is not worth it. After all, Jovic is just a role player who averages about 10 points per game, basically playing as a substitute. Moreover, the Heat themselves don’t even have an absolute core and like to have a high salary to stir up cold dishes. Some fans also think it is worth it. Now the value of league players has generally increased, and big contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars are flying all over the place. Jovic's mere 60 million is not worth mentioning, and it is 60 million in four years. It is only 15 million a year. The annual salary of 15 million is not high in today's NBA. In addition, Jovic is still very young and has certain potential.

Third, Quentin Grimes returned to the 76ers with a one-year qualification offer of $8.7 million. Many fans may not be familiar with Grimes. In fact, his data last season was very explosive. After joining the 76ers, he averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and his data can surround his teammate Paul George. After seeing his rapid progress, Grimes' ambitions grew bigger and bigger. He only fought for less than half a year for the 76ers, so he kept asking for a super contract. In the early stages of the free market, Grimes first expressed his hope to get a contract with an annual salary of about $30 million, and then reduced it to the range of $20 million to $25 million, but the 76ers still expressed their refusal, and other teams in the league failed to extend an olive branch to him. In the end, Grimes returned to the 76ers with an annual salary of only 8.7 million per year.

It is not difficult to understand why Grimes' data is so outstanding but it is not favored by the market. First of all, after he came to the 76ers, the 76ers were in the bad season, and the team's core members were basically reimbursed and missed. This gave Grimes the opportunity to brush data. Relying on players who brush data from weak teams, they are often not popular in the market. Before joining the 76ers, Grimes averaged only about 10 points per game. Secondly, the 76ers initially considered introducing him in the hope that he could supplement the team's defensive weak link on the back line, start with a role player, and help the team contribute. Unexpectedly, Grimes directly became the team's core, which is extremely inconsistent with his expected positioning. He has a certain ability to hold the ball. The problem is that the 76ers are not short of them at all. They have a stronger Maxi, a younger Demon Fairy McCain, and George and Embiid, who will also occupy a lot of ball rights after their comeback.

In this offseason, there are not many players who are in the same situation as Grimes. For example, Kumingga, who just ended the farce of renewing the contract with the Warriors, Kumingga and the Warriors reached a two-year contract of $48.5 million. Originally, he was also pursuing a long-term contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million, and he had to take the player option, but the Warriors always refused. Shams said that even if the Warriors renewed their contract with Kumingga, the Warriors will immediately explore his trading plan after Kumingga is qualified for trading. Like Grimes, Kumingga couldn't recognize his position in the team. The Warriors regarded him as a role player and trained him in the championship puzzle. As a result, Kumingga wanted to be a superstar and become a big core of ball holding, but the Warriors would definitely not be able to satisfy him. The Nets' Thomas and the Bulls' Gidey are the same. Gidey was a little better. He eventually renewed his contract with the Bulls for 4 years and had an annual salary of 25 million yuan. He was also pursuing an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan. In terms of personal attributes and abilities, Gidey is indeed much better than other Grimes, Thomas and others, but he is indeed still a big gap from All-Star players. With Gidey's talent, the upper limit is likely not too high. The Bulls' contract is also quite generous. Thomas is not so lucky. Like Grimes, he only returns to the team with qualifications, with only 6 million a year. He was the Nets' scoring champion last season. He scored 40+ points in a single game in many consecutive games, but the Nets felt that his role was too single, his play style was unique, and his defense was poor, and he did not intend to treat him as the core of the team building to train him. I wonder if Thomas, can Grimes prove himself in the future?
