The NBA playoffs are in full swing, in the past period of time many young players have played a price, like the lone ranger Brunson, the playoffs for 5 consecutive games to cut 20+, and his annual salary this season is only 1.8 million, it is estimated that Curry will send him a big contract in the offseason, the Warriors' Poole playoffs have averaged 24 points and 6 assists per game so far, the annual salary of this event is only 2.16 million, and it is not good to have to renew a contract with the Warriors in the offseason.
Some players have played for value, and some players have lost their value, so far in the playoffs, many stars have made themselves into premium contracts, and then to say this, do you know how the top ten salaries in the league have performed so far in the playoffs this season? Today we will take a look, as for Westbrook and James, who did not qualify for the playoffs, we will not say, let's get into the main topic.
Curry 45.78 million
In last offseason, the Warriors signed a 4-year contract with 215 million at the age of 34, which surprised many fans at the time, Curry's last year of this contract was close to 60 million, he was already 38 years old, why would the Warriors give him such a big contract? Here I say, first of all, the Warriors were only worth 430 million yuan before, but with Curry leading the team to win the championship, their current market value is as high as 4.5 billion, so that the team has appreciated so much, is not the big contract deserved? Curry's first early renewal after the rookie contract is only 44 million yuan for 4 years, and the Warriors also want to compensate him.
So there is nothing wrong with Curry getting this contract, he is the first person in the history of the Warriors, and his contribution to the Warriors is far more than the two hundred million. And this season Curry's annual salary is the first in the league, as high as 45.78 million, Curry led the team to the Third Place in the Regular Season during the regular season, he still has a great performance of 27.5 points, 3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, the team leads the Nuggets 3-1, and in order to let Poole get played, Curry also gave up the starter, contemporary Duncan, he is worth this big contract.
Harden 44.31 million
Harden played the level of the league's first quarterback in the Rockets period, when the Rockets sent a 4-year 170 million contract in the summer of 17 years, considering Harden's performance in the Rockets period, and his contribution to the team, he did deserve such a big contract, but now it is different, since leaving the Rockets, Harden only wants to win the championship, but forgot his efforts, and durant is dissatisfied with him not improving himself in the Nets, resulting in a sharp decrease in stature and explosiveness.
After coming to the 76ers, Harden is now in the playoffs because of the loss of his previous explosive power, which can not be done in singles now, and Harden in the previous Rockets period is relying on unsolvable singles to make people feel frightened. So far in the playoffs, Ha has averaged 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.4 blocks, shooting only 37.3%, the efficiency is too poor, his performance is compared to his 44.31 million big contract this season, it is completely a premium contract, Harden also has a contract of 47.36 million a year, according to the current situation, it is estimated to take the old road of Westbrook.
Durant 42.02 million
Durant suffered a rupture in the Achilles tendon that year, but seeing his previous unsolvable performance, the Nets also sent a 4-year 164 million contract in the summer of 19 years to do the first signing and then exchange. Durant then returned after a full season of recuperation, leading the Nets and championship Bucks to a steal of seven, Durant even got the title of the league's first man, last summer the Nets gave him a four-year, 194 million contract extension, in 2026 Durant's annual salary of 53.28 million.
Durant's annual salary this season is as high as 42.02 million, the league ranks fifth, the playoff player ranks third, this year's playoffs can be said that Durant lost his first person position, although there are still 26.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1 steal per game, but the overall shooting rate is only 38.6%, the three-point shooting rate is 33.3%, the first person is not short, Durant can not do the perfect switch, he is still just a super scorer, not the first person.
Letter brother 39.34 million
Alphabet brother can rise thanks to Kidd's insight, when he participated in the draft was not even a complete career, as a result Kidd developed the alphabet brother ball play, let him prove himself in the Bucks, several times into the All-Star to win the MVP, in 20 years bucks for the Bucks to give them a 5-year 228 million super salary, this season alphabet brother's annual salary is as high as 39.3 million, he has won a championship for the Bucks, and only 27 years old, should win this big contract.
And this season's playoff alphabet brother is also not to live up to the expectations of the Bucks, so far in the playoffs he can average 27.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.8 blocks of comprehensive data, under his leadership now the Bucks 3-1 lead the Bulls, in the case of Middleton's injury absence, the alphabet brother led the team still played a stable performance, as far as his role in the team and personal ability, his annual salary is worth the money.
Clay 37.98 million
The owner of the Warriors team is really good, 19 years can be said to be a season of the collapse of the Warriors dynasty, Durant left the team, Clay suffered a major injury in the Finals, but even so, the Warriors still sent Clay a 5-year 190 million contract extension, without a little hesitation, and even they are not afraid of the losses caused by Clay's season reimbursement. As a result, this wait has been waiting for two years, and Klay has just returned this season.
Clay's performance during the regular season was very unstable, but after the arrival of the playoffs, Clay showed stability, averaging 24.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 53% from the field, shooting 50% from three-point range, averaging 5.3 three-pointers per game, ranking second in the league in terms of shooting, he is still one of the best shooters in the league, and he also played in the playoffs to meet his 37.98 million annual salary, which is very good.
Butler 36.01 million
In 19 years, the 76ers had the opportunity to keep Butler, but they first gave Harris a maximum salary, and then Simmons was unwilling to reduce the ball, Butler was given up by the 76ers, he joined the Heat, Riley has always liked Butler's type of player, so he sent a 4-year 142 million contract, and then 20 years Butler led the team to the Finals, so last summer Reilly gave Butler a 3-year 146 million contract extension, is to let Butler end up in the Heat.
This season Butler also did not live up to Riley's expectations, the regular season led the team to the first place in the division, so far in the playoffs averaged 30.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.8 steals, shooting 54.3%, three-point shooting rate of 43.8%, the performance is completely superstar level, too hard, Trae Young and the Hawks are played by him without any ability to fight back, this season his annual salary is only 36.01 million, quite cost-effective.
Harris 36 million
In the summer of 19, the 76ers gave him a five-year, 180 million contract extension, although Harris was good at the time, averaging about 18 points per game, but it was not so expensive, right? Harris is also a player worth about 20 million, maybe 76 people consider that they can't sign big stars, so they gave him such a big contract, it is also speechless, Harris is also a level of three bosses, it is not worth so much.
So far in the playoffs, Harris has averaged 17.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 53.2% from the field and 45.5% from three-point range, and you may think it is very good to look at the data and efficiency alone, but in fact, Harden and Embiid have attracted defense for him, he has played such an efficiency, but he has not contributed too much to the team's winnings, and in terms of his annual salary of 36 million this season, he is definitely a premium contract.
Middleton 35.5 million
Middleton can play a second-round show to today's height also thanks to Kidd, it is because he discovered the combination of alphabet brother and Middleton, which has the bucks' future double core, in the 19 playoffs, although Middleton was locked by Leonard, but the Bucks still gave him a 178 million contract extension, for which Middleton also did not disappoint the team, last season won the championship he was the key to the team, very efficient.
With an annual salary of $35.5 million this season, Middleton has played less than two playoff games due to an injury, and the sample is small, so we won't comment on him here.
Gobert 35.34 million
If the biggest premium contract in the playoffs, I think it is Gobert, who won many times the best defensive player that year, the Jazz sent a big contract of 5 years and 205 million in the summer of 2020, the largest contract for the center in history, which also caused many historical celebrities to question at the time, and the Jazz did this for fear of talent loss, and it is really difficult for the small ball city to leave stars, but is there really hope for the future of the Jazz?
So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 12.4 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, shooting 66.7% from the field, looking at the data alone, but Gobert's offensive end can not open up space, nor can he play low, the defensive end is even more played by the opponent's small player point list, is the opponent's scoring machine, offensive and defensive ends are useless, the result is also 35.34 million big contract, you say Jazz is not stupid money?
Owen 34.91 million
Irving and Durant negotiated to come to the Nets in the summer of 19, he did not join by signing first and then changing, he joined as a free agent, the Nets gave him a 4-year 136 million maximum salary contract, as a result, Irving came to the Nets, not to say that he failed to help the team win the championship, and even the root of the team's problems, the first season Atkinson was forced to leave the team, the third season refused to be vaccinated, only played away, and then Ramadan did not have strength in the playoffs.
This year's playoffs averaged 21.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 blocks, shooting 44% from the field and 38% from three-point range, it was precisely because he did not play a decent performance, so the Nets were swept out by the Celtics, he still had a one-year contract left, I don't think the Nets need to keep him, try to trade in the offseason, Irving's personal ability has nothing to say, but his main mind is not basketball!
