Each season has two player trade periods, one for mid-season trades and the other for offseasons. Normally, mid-season trades don't see heavy personnel changes, but this season there has been an exception for a blockbuster deal, that is, James Harden left the Nets to join the 76ers. This season's NBA regular season is more than halfway through, now is the time to start looking forward to offseason player trade, today we will take stock of the top ten players who are likely to leave the team in the offseason this season, Ayton is at the top of the top salary.
Tenth place, Warriors Otto Porter
This season, Porter can average 8.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, although the data alone is not eye-catching, but considering that Porter only has 21.5 minutes per game for the Warriors, it is already a very good performance to get such data with 47.4% shooting percentage and 39.1% three-point shooting rate.
Last season offseason Porter joined the Warriors with a base salary of $2.39 million, at first glance, you may think that Porter is an unknown role player, you may also think that Porter is a veteran, but in fact Porter is only 28 years old this year, and Porter is a 13-year probing show, once was also a highly anticipated player, once also took a hundred million dollar contract, it can be said that at this moment Porter is in the golden age of his personal career, so after the end of this season, 100 percent of Porter, who performed well, would leave the Warriors, after all, Porter was not yet ready for the bottom salary.
Porter has the potential to become a top 3D player, so far in his career, Porter's three-point shooting rate has remained at a high level of 40.1%, and has always been the defensive gate of the team's outside line, but due to injuries, Porter has not cashed in on the talent of the Flower Scout, but this season Porter's physical health has improved significantly, and next season is expected to get an annual salary of $8 million.
Ninth place, Cavaliers Sexton
This season's Sexton is the saddest player in the league, no one, this season is Sexton's contract year, but Sexton suffered a serious injury with a torn meniscus in his left knee, which led to season reimbursement, Last season offseason Sexton once asked the Cavaliers for a five-year, $163 million maximum salary contract, but was rejected by the Cavaliers, as a fan of our rational point of view, Sexton has the strength to fight for the maximum salary contract, after all, last season, Sxton can average 24.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.
But the key contract year Sexton suffered a serious injury reimbursement for the season, obviously Sexton's dream of a maximum salary is impossible to achieve, it is worth mentioning that this season's All-Star Game was held in Cleveland, cavaliers Garland and Allen were selected for the All-Star Game, if Sexton did not suffer from injuries to bother you, then Sexton is also a high probability of becoming an All-Star player, but the reality is really too cruel for Sexton.
So far this season, the Cavaliers have achieved 35 wins and 23 losses, the fourth best result in the East, the current team already has Garland and Allen two All-Star players, Mobley and Kalmanin are very potential players, plus just turned back, the play style and Sexton is very similar to Le Vere, Sexton has no place in the Cavaliers, the offseason Cavaliers will most likely give up Sexton in the offseason way to sign first and then trade.
Eighth place, Cavaliers Lefour
Kevin Luck is the Cavaliers to get the first championship in team history, after the retirement of Love, the Cavaliers will most likely retire his jersey, but at present Love has not yet reached the age of mixing days in the league, the current Love is only 33 years old, with the gradual recovery of the body, Love's competitive state is also gradually warming up, so far in the season, Love can cut 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 42.6%, three-point shooting rate of 39.3%.
It can be seen that Le fu who remains healthy will still be an All-Star level player, but today's Cavaliers will not give Le Fu too many opportunities, after all, the tanhua xiu Mobley is the hope of the Cavaliers' inner line, so far this season, Mobly can average 14.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 blocks per game.
Obviously, the current Love is not willing to play an experienced veteran role on the Cavaliers bench, and it is the first choice for Love to join a strong team with championship-fighting strength and the role of core players in the current year, after all, Love's annual salary of $28 million next season is not so exaggerated, if Love can maintain health and continue to output efficiently, Love is expected to join a team with championship strength in the offseason.
Seventh place, Rockets Wall
This season's Wall is also very miserable to tell the truth, although Wall has a super salary of $43.85 million, but the healthy Wall has no ball to play, the inner taste is certainly uncomfortable, at the beginning of the season, Wall expressed his desire to play to the management, but the Rockets can only let Wall appear as a substitute player, after all, the list of green and potential stock Porter Jr. both need a lot of exercise opportunities, but the arrogant Wall refused the status of substitute.
John Wall was once a highly anticipated player with outstanding physical talent, and when he first came to the league, Wall was expected to exceed the defenders such as Curry and Westbrook, after all, Wall's speed and passing ability are the top presence in the league, and Wall is taller, and the telephone advantage in the same position is obvious.
But unfortunately, Wall has been plagued by injuries continuously, taking a shower at home, and can slip in the bathroom, but this season Wall is in a healthy state, although Wall did not play, but Wall has been insisting on training, the competitive state remains very good, ready to wear on the game.
The biggest obstacle to the Rockets' trade with Wall is his $46.87 million salary next season, but the door to Wall's trade may be opened in the offseason, whether it is to leave the team in the form of a buyout, or whether the team is willing to become a receiver, after all, at the end of next season, the team will free up more than $40 million in salary space, which is definitely a temptation for the rebuilding team.
Sixth place, Bucks Portis
Portis, who came to the Bucks last season, averaged 11.4 points and 7 rebounds per game in the regular season, and Portis averaged 8.8 points and 5 rebounds per game in the playoffs, which is a big contributor to the Bucks' championship winning last season, and Portis completed a contract extension with the Bucks for 2 years and 8.91 million US dollars in the offseason last season.
This season Portis went further, averaging 15.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game in a quasi-double-double, Portis can not only break into the inner basket to score points, but also use efficient long-range shooting ability to help the team open up space, which is crucial for the alphabet brother, Portis this season's three-point shooting rate of 40.2%, in addition, Portis's passionate style of play is loved by fans and teammates.
Obviously, this season's Portis has become one of the low-paid and high-energy representative players, and the salary of more than four million obviously cannot satisfy Portis's appetite, so this offseason, regardless of whether the Bucks win the championship or not, Portis will most likely choose to jump out of the contract and become a free agent, thus seeking a big contract worthy of his own value.
This season, the Bucks' total salary is as high as $155.5 million, ranking fifth in the league, paying a luxury tax of $41.52 million is second only to the Warriors, Nets, Lakers and Clippers, and the current young and powerful Portis market price is at least more than 10 million annual salaries, so even if Portis is crucial to the Bucks, but in the face of the pressure of huge luxury taxes, the Bucks are likely to give up Portis, and last season the Bucks let Go of Tucker because of the pressure of the luxury tax.
Fifth place, Knicks Randle
Last season, Randle averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6 assists per game, not only personally selected for the All-Star Game, but also led the Knicks to a good record of fourth in the East, a performance that was worth a top salary contract for Randle, who was only 26 years old at the time, but Randle messed up in the playoffs.
Randle, who led the team to play the playoffs for the first time in his career, averaged only 18 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, the data looks good, but the offensive efficiency is miserable, the shooting rate is only 29.8%, the three-point shooting rate is only 33.3%, and the poor performance makes Randall have reached the top salary contract of the mouth, and finally the Knicks only provided Randle with a 4-year, 117 million US dollar contract, but through this season, such a contract Knicks also gave high.
Randle averaged 19.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game this season, but only 42.1 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three-point range, and the powerful Randall used this offensive efficiency to defeat the Knicks, and the much-anticipated Knicks this season only achieved 25 wins and 34 losses, the fourth-to-last poor record in the East, and the Knicks are followed by some reconstructed teams, such as the Pacers, Pistons and Magic.
The confident Knicks did not play the expected performance this season, head coach Heberdeau did not change the status quo of the team, the Knicks are likely to reform the existing lineup in the offseason, and the team boss Randall is likely to be abandoned by the Knicks.
Fourth place, Eagles Collins
In the 19-20 season, Collins averaged 21.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game, such a brilliant performance, Collins asked for a maximum salary, but the Eagles did not give Collins a large contract with a maximum salary, so the stubborn Collins chose to fight for another year.
Last season Collins did not play the expected performance, the average data per game slipped to 17.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks, but collins data decline is not a personal bad play, but because of the lack of tactical status, last season Collins's shooting rate of 55.6%, three-point shooting rate of 39.9%, can be said to be very efficient, but due to the presence of Trae Young, Collins tactical status is pitiful, and even Collins once expressed dissatisfaction to the team.
Last season offseason Collins still accepted a five-year , $ 125 million subprime salary contract , this season Collins averaged 16.8 points , 7.9 rebounds , 1.9 assists , 1.1 blocks , shooting 53.7 % from the field and 38.8 % from three-point range, it can be said that Collins has excellent performances on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but collins is likely to be abandoned by the Hawks this offseason.
Last season's Hawks, who were close to the Eastern Conference Finals, suffered Waterloo this season, and currently have only achieved a bad record of 28 wins and 30 losses, and this season's Hawks want to reach the playoffs again, it is difficult to go to the sky, after all, the Nets, Raptors and Celtics are difficult opponents, so the Hawks with a bad record will inevitably upgrade the team in the offseason, and the crowded interior line is the place to upgrade, at present, Capela and Trae Young are more in tune, collins is likely to be traded out of the team.
Third place, Trail Blazers Lillard
I've written a lot about the Blazers, I think the Blazers are going to rebuild the team, trading McCollum is a signal to rebuild the team, and then Lillard will also leave the Blazers in the offseason, which is definitely not alarmist, for Lillard and the Blazers, separation is the best option, the Blazers can use The Blazers can use The Current Year Lillard in exchange for young cornerstone players and draft picks, Lillard can also chase the championship again.
At this moment, Lillard should emulate those who left the team to compete for the championship, such as James, Durant and Harden, do not be like Westbrook, the best time is left to the Thunder, the end of the career to wake up, leave the team to chase the championship, that time is too late, now Westbrook has been sprayed to the skin, the root cause should be the decline in personal competitive state, seriously dragging down the team.
Therefore, Lillard, who is at the peak of his peak, is the best choice to seek another high early, which is a good thing for both the Blazers and Lillard, some fans think that Lillard, who has sworn allegiance to the Blazers, will not choose to leave the team, do you think That Westbrook will leave the Thunder? I believe that Wei Shao's departure is unimaginable to anyone, the NBA is a business field after all, on the basis of not treating the old owner badly, let's go.
Lillard has not performed well this season, averaging only 24 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, 40.2% shooting percentage and 42.4% three-point shooting rate are all career-lows, and he has also suffered from injuries, in short, there is not much time left for Lillard.
Second place, Lakers Westbrook
This season's Westbrook is really a real NBA's most difficult player, completely became the Lakers' loss of the pot man, objectively speaking, the reason for the Lakers' loss is all-round, such as the decline in Davis and James's dominance, role players embarrassing and so on, of course, Westbrook's poor performance is also on the one hand, but should not be the culprit of the Lakers' loss.
Westbrook is a player with very distinct characteristics, if you give him enough opportunities, he will also give you a big surprise, but in general, The upper limit of Westbrook's solo team is not high, but once Westbrook can not become the absolute core of the team, the lack of sense of existence of Westbrook will become unable to play, the current Lakers' Westbrook is this Chinese situation, so that Westbrook play without the ball, can not play.
This season, the Lakers from the championship big hit, to now for the playoffs to fight hard, it can be said that the embarrassment is extreme, the Lakers will definitely clean up The Westbrook in the offseason, can trade on the deal, can not trade on the buyout, not bad money the Lakers can not afford to wait, after all, James has begun to show a significant decline.
First place, Suns Ayton
As the champion of the 18-year draft, the template for Admiral Robinson's Ayton, worth the maximum salary of the big contract, has always been a topic of great concern to fans and friends, some people think that Ayton can not get the maximum salary contract, some people think that Ayton is worth the maximum salary contract, the author believes that Ayton can get the maximum salary contract, but not in the Suns.
Suns since Paul joined, the team has undergone earth-shaking changes, the team began to build a team around Paul and Booker, Ayton's tactical status declined significantly, but in exchange for the Suns to reach the finals, so far this season, the Suns have achieved an excellent record of 48 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the league, it can be said that today's Suns are a thriving existence.
So the decline in Ayton's tactical status is reasonable, and from the Suns game, it can be seen that Ayton is indeed not so important to the Suns, as long as the combination of Booker and Paul is retained, the Competitiveness of the Suns will exist, McKee and Biyombo can be competent for Ayton's position on the team, and most importantly, once the Suns renew Ayton's salary, then the Suns will have to pay a huge luxury tax next season, which is almost unacceptable for the small-ball City Suns.
Since there is no Ayton, the Suns are all championship favorites, so the Suns who avoid paying taxes will most likely not renew Ayton's contract with the highest salary, and Ayton will most likely leave the Suns in the offseason in a way that is signed first and then exchanged. The key question is, can Ayton get the coveted top salary contract? The answer is entirely possible.
We all know that the Suns did not give Ayton enough tactical status, once the team is built around Ayton, the team record is not to say, Ayton's personal data will definitely blow up, and Ayton is currently only 23 years old, with the flying physical talent of Ayton still has a lot of room to rise, those who intend to rebuild the team to sign Ayton is definitely a good choice.
