In the summer of 2007, the Greens sent Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Gomez, Ratliff, Telfer and two first-round picks plus some cash in exchange for Garnett, and sent no. 5 shows Jeff Green, Derondi West and Szebiack in 2007 for Ray Allen and that year's No. 35 show Glen Davis, forming a big three lineup of Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen.
All three players are good offensive and defensive players, but they are willing to sacrifice for the championship, Garnett sacrifices a lot of ball power to focus on the defensive end, Ray Allen is at ease as a pitcher, and Pierce has reduced the number of shots. They were both over thirty that season, more mature and stable, and more responsible, so the first year of the group won the championship. So what are the salaries of the Big Three in the championship season?
Ray Allen
The previous season before joining the Green Army, Ray Allen averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 43.8% from the field, at the supersonic, Ray Allen was not just a pitcher, he could shoot, defend and pass, but after joining the Green Army, he became a pitcher, the average number of shots per game decreased from 21 to 13.5, and the average number of points per game also decreased to 17.4 points.
Despite his decreased scoring average, his scoring efficiency has increased, thanks to Pierce and Garnett helping him share the defensive pressure, his shooting percentage rising to 44.5 percent, his three-point shooting percentage rising to 39.8 percent, and he was on a $16 million salary at the time, which he felt was a perfect piece of the championship puzzle.
pierce
In the season before Garnett and Ray Allen arrived, Pierce averaged 25 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 43.9% from the field and 38.9% from three-point range. After forming the Big Three, Pierce's average number of shots per game dropped from 18.1 to 13.7, and his average score per game also dropped to 19.6 points per game.
In 2008, he averaged 19.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 39.2 percent from three-point range. His average score per game has also declined, but his average assists per game have increased a little, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate have also increased, which is also the result of having Ray Allen and Garnett to help share the defensive pressure, and the 30-year-old who was taking a salary of $16.36 million that season was not much different from Ray Allen.
Garnett
In the season before joining the Celtics, Garnett averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 47.6 percent from the field. After joining the Green Army, his average number of shots per game decreased from 17.6 to 13.9, and his average score per game also dropped to 18.8 points.
Garnett averaged 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.3 blocks, and shot 53.9 percent from the field that season, and although he didn't average double-doubles in the previous season, he defended very well this season, winning the Best Defensive Player Award, and was the core of the Celtics' defense, when the 31-year-old earned $23.75 million, not only the green army's highest-paid player, but also the highest paid player in the league.
The same Big Three of the Green Army, also made great contributions to winning the championship, but then the Green Army treated Ray Allen differently from Pierce and Garnett, and when the Contract of the Big Three expired, the Celtics gave Garnett a three-year, $34 million contract extension, gave the younger Hungry Pierce a 4-year, $61 million contract, but asked Ray Allen to cut his salary and stay in the team.
As the oldest player in the Big Three, Ray Allen promised to cut his salary, so he asked the team for $27 million for 3 years, an average of $9 million a year, this contract is reasonable, after all, Garnett and Pierce's new contracts are averaging more than $10 million a year, Andre Allen is not as strong as them, and he is older, so he wants a little less than them.
But the Green Army is only willing to provide a 2-year, $12 million contract extension, but also asked Ray Allen as a substitute for Bradley, when Ray Allen and Rondo have a conflict, management, Pierce and Garnett are on the side of Rondo, the Green Army's series of operations made him feel chilled, and finally he chose to join the Heat, although the Heat offered an average annual salary less than the Green Army, but Ray Allen wanted a respect, he became the Heat's championship puzzle, in the sixth game of the Finals to shoot a three-pointer, He was the key figure in the Heat's eventual victory, and he also won a championship than Garnett and Pierce.
