103-109, even if back at home, the Nets still lost to the Celtics, Durant and Irving continued to slump, Durant 11 shots 6 of 16 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, 5 turnovers, 17 shots 6 of 16 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, the poor performance of the double core was disappointing, and the Nets may be swept out by the Celtics.
The nets' only bright spot is Blake Griffin, the first two games he was abandoned by Nash, did not get any playing time, although the game got the opportunity, but only 7 minutes and 52 seconds to play time, but in a short period of 4 shots 2, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, efficient 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 block, he was very desperate, he really wanted to win, but not to be reused.
Griffin was a particularly athletic player, but injuries ruined his athleticism, his performance became worse and worse, and then he joined the Nets with the Pistons on a buyout, wanting to win a championship before retiring, whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, he was very desperate and did not want to miss any opportunity to help the team win.
However, this season he was abandoned by Nash in the regular season, only 56 appearances in the regular season, if it were not for the Nets suffering from a large-scale injury, he would have fewer opportunities to play, and in the playoffs, he wanted to play to help the team, but he could only watch from the sidelines, very helpless.
Since entering the league in 2009, Griffin has played in the NBA for 13 seasons, signing a 5-year, $173 million contract with the Clippers at its peak, and his career salary has reached $256 million, he no longer has to worry about money, and has signed a base salary contract with the Nets for two years, just to be able to help the Nets win the championship, but unfortunately it backfired, and the championship is getting farther and farther away.
In addition to Griffin, the class of 2009 has three well-known players - Stephen Curry, James Harden and DeMar DeRozan, all three of whom have lower draft picks than Griffin, and will they make less or higher money than Griffin?
First came DeRozan, who was the no. 9 pick of the class of 2009 and was drafted by the Raptors. DeRozan's first contract was $10.71 million for four years, with annual salaries of $2.28 million, $2.45 million, $2.63 million and $3.34 million, respectively. The second contract was $38 million for four years, with an annual salary of $9.5 million.
The fourth contract was $139 million for five years, with annual salaries of $26.54 million, $27.74 million, $27.74 million, $27.74 million and $27.74 million, respectively. He signed the Bulls to a three-year, $81.9 million contract last summer and is on $26 million this season. So far in his career, he has earned a total of $20,200, less than Griffin, and like Griffin, he has no championship, and he has not experienced the feeling of playing in the Finals, but he is in better form than Griffin, his career will be longer than Griffin, and he has more opportunities than Griffin.
Looking at Harden again, he was the Tanhua of the Class of 2009 and was selected by the Thunder. During his rookie contract, Harden earned $4.05 million, $4.3 million, $4.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Harden's second contract is $78.5 million for five years, with annual salaries of $13.7 million, $14.73 million and $15.76 million, respectively.
In the summer of 2016, Harden extended his contract early to 2020 for $118 million over a four-year contract period. In the summer of 2017, Harden renewed his contract early again, signing a four-year, $170 million contract that doesn't expire until 2023, and his annual salary this season is as high as $44.31 million. So far in his career, he has earned a total of $269 million, he has earned more than Griffin, reached the Finals once, but did not win the championship, and still works hard for the championship this season.
Finally, curry, who was the seventh pick of the class of 2009, was selected by the Warriors. During his rookie contract, Curry's annual salary was $2.71 million, $2.91 million, $3.12 million and $3.96 million, respectively. During the second contract period, his annual salary was $10.63 million, $11.37 million and $12.11 million, and in the past three years, Curry won the regular season MVP twice, led the team to the Finals three times, and won the championship twice.
In 2017, he was awarded a five-year, $201 million top salary contract, and last summer signed a four-year, $215 million early renewal contract with the Warriors, which ended in 2026, with a final year of $59.61 million.
Curry has made a total of $255 million after earning $45.78 million this season, which is temporarily less than Griffin and Harden, but he will soon surpass in the next few years. In addition, he currently has three championships, neither lacking money nor championships, and he is undoubtedly the most successful player of the class of 2009.
