Beijing time on April 5, the Nets this season's lineup can be described as luxurious, even without Harden, their offensive firepower is still very fierce, but for various reasons, this team is playing worse and worse, from the first place in the East at the beginning of the season to the current tenth place in the East, it can be said that it is unbearable, and now the Goal of the Nets is estimated to be not to win the championship, but to enter the playoffs first. You know, this team has Irving + Durant double stars in the seat, it is reasonable to say that playing in the playoffs should not be a problem, but I did not expect to worry about this matter now.
In fact, the healthy Nets are very scary, the No. 1 position has Irving, if Simmons returns, he can play the No. 2 position, the No. 3 position is Durant, the No. 4 position is Aldridge, the No. 5 position is Zhuang Shen, the lineup is not only luxurious, but also all-star. In addition, on the bench, the Nets have a strong group of shooters, Curry + Mills + Joe Harris outside pitchers are almost invincible in the league, in addition to these players, they also have Thomas, Sharp, Griffin, Bruce Brown, Clarkston and other players.
Just a few of them can easily get into the playoffs, but the opposite is true. The reason for this, injuries are certainly part of it, and some other reasons may be subtle changes in the team's locker room, resulting in a loose military spirit and disunity, so the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. This season, among the New Signings of the Nets, the most surprising player in addition to Zhuang Shen is Curry Jr. In 16 games for the Nets, Curry averaged 16 points per game, third on the team, first in three-point shooting, and second only to Durant and Johnson, Brown, and Clarkston.
You know, Curry's annual salary this season is only 8.21 million, but he has played a value of 20 million, which can be said to be a good price, and the Nets have picked up a big bargain this season. During the absence of Irving and Durant, it was Curry who dragged the team forward, believing that in the playoffs and even the playoffs, Curry will play a more important role in the team's system. Curry's outstanding performance management also looked into the eyes, according to Nets reporter Alex Schiffer, the Nets have decided to do their best to keep Curry Jr., and Joe Harris will be let go.
Alex Schiffer said Curry's performance has conquered the Top of the Nets, such as Sean Marx, who plans to offer him a big contract worth about $51 million, similar to Joe Harris's. Because the team does not have much salary space, letting go of Harris is also a helpless move, to put it badly, Boss Cai's family is not opening a bank, Harris did not perform well last season, and this season was reimbursed, no one can stand it, Mills is no longer good, people are also a famous shooter, the price is still cheap.
Alex Schiffer said that in addition to keeping Curry, the Nets will also complete the contract extension with Zhuang Shen, who is only 28 years old this year, he has won the rebounding king three times in a row, and this season has shown the true color of the rebounding king again, successfully guarding the team's penalty area. In addition, considering Bruce Brown's performance this season, he may also get a satisfactory contract, while Harris has to pack his bags and leave.
