On April 13, Beijing time, when the Hornets scored king Bridges, summer refused to renew the contract for 4 years and 60 million US dollars, and now according to the US media open-air reporter Jake Fischer, Bridges is expected to get a 5-year 173 million US dollars maximum salary renewal contract this summer, and the Hornets are expected to match any contract.
As the no. 12 pick in the first round of 2018, Bridges, who is in the fourth year of his career, played a big explosion season, and he played 80 games for the Hornets in the regular season this season, all of which were starting. Bridges averaged 35.5 minutes per game and averaged 20.2 points, 7 rebounds and 3.8 assists, shooting 49.1%, 33.1% and 80.2% from the field.
It is worth mentioning that Bridges has averaged 20+ performances per game in a single season for the first time in his career this season, and has averaged 12.7 points per game compared to the previous season, an improvement of 7.5 points, and is expected to compete for the Most Improved Player of the Year award.
Bridges has grown into one of the Hornets' core players and has become the Hornets' team-winning scorer this season, even 0.1 points higher than the 20.1 points on all three courts, and well above Hayward's 15.9 points.
Bridges had the right to renew his contract early last summer, but he eventually rejected the Hornets' four-year, $60 million contract. Now Bridges has made a complete deal out of his stature with a season of crazy progress, and he is only 24 years old, which makes him hope to get a five-year, $173 million maximum salary renewal contract this summer.
According to Meiji, Bridges is the flanking core that the Wasps hope to stay, and the Wasps are also interested in peddling and sending Hayward away. League people believe that whatever offer other teams make to Bridges, they will match and will allow Bridges to get the biggest contract.
With Bridges, 24, and three goals at 20, and Rozier at 28 with Oubre, 26, the Hornets' core lineup is relatively young, and Hayward, 32, will undoubtedly not be part of the future plan.
