The end of the NBA's 2021-2022 regular season is good news for the Lakers Knicks Pacers Bucks. Because of the debt that has been backlogged for many years, it is finally going to be paid off.
In 2016, the offseason salary cap soared, spawning a number of poison contracts. At the time, Buzz Jr.'s Lakers handed "British Jordan" Ruhr Deng a four-year, $72 million maximum salary contract. Later, because Walton wanted to train young people, he abandoned Ruhr Deng, and when the magician became the president of operations, he announced that he would lay off Ruhr Deng with an extended term, paying $5 million in installments for 3 seasons until the end of this season.
Also in the 2016 offseason, the Knicks also signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Joaquin Noah, then cut him in October 2018 using an extended term, paying $6.43 million in installments for three seasons until the end of the season.
Monta Ellis signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Pacers in July 2015, and the Pacers then cut Ellis in 2017 with an extended term, paying $2.24 million in installments for five seasons until the end of the season.
Basketball poet Larry Sanders signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Bucks in 2013, and in 2015 Sanders informed the Bucks of their decision to retire, and in February of the same year, the two sides reached a buyout, deferring the payment of $1.86 million per season for seven seasons until the end of the season.
Compared with the other three teams completely relieved, the Lakers are very sad, because Westbrook is incompatible with the team, and his contract amount of only 1 year is too large, and the possibility of the Lakers buying him out is not ruled out. Therefore, netizens mended the knife, and Major General Wei restarted the Lakers' nightmare.
