For a team, signing players has a huge role to play! A good signing can make a qualitative change in the team! For example, the Lakers signed James, the Clippers signed The Little Card, George, etc., all of which have transformed the team into a championship-level team.
Of course, signing big names, generally refers to the top salary players, high returns are also high risks, and there are a lot of garbage contracts in the NBA! For example, the Hornets signed Batum, the Green Army signed Walker, and the Wizards' contract with Wall, etc., are all famous garbage contracts in the NBA, making the team miserable.
Now, it is getting closer and closer to the offseason, there are also a large number of free agents in the market, and the teams are indispensable to compete, and among these big players, there are 5 players with extremely high risks, which are likely to be garbage contracts, but may also reap the effect, let's take a look at it together.
5th place: Oladipo!
After a long period of recuperation, Oladipo finally recovered his health at the end of the season and played very well! Scoring 40 points in the final game of the regular season, 21 points in game 5 with the Eagles, and 19 points in game 2 with the 76ers, are all very good plays! This player, as long as he is given the time and the ball, can definitely play all-star level stats.
Because of Oladipo's performance, he is expected to get a big contract this summer, which will not be very high, but it will roughly exceed 10 million, but it is also a risky signing.
As long as Oladipo remains healthy, the annual salary of more than 10 million will basically not be lost, but this player has too much injury history, is a potential glass man, if after signing him, as before, injuries occur frequently, it will be more than worth the loss.
4th place: Wall!
Wall is now a garbage contract, with a salary of more than 40 million yuan a year, and he does not have to play, which shows how bad his contract is! At the end of the season, Wall has a year left in the player option, he can choose to continue to execute, or he can choose to jump out and sign a new contract.
While Wall is more likely to continue executing the contract, it may also jump out of the contract! Wall's ability is still there, the impact of 18 + 9 data, will not be too much of a problem, scoring, organizational ability is also online, many teams have ideas about him! However, Wall also has major injury hazards, and if he is signed, it may become a garbage contract.
No. 3: Wei Shao!
Wei Shao has completely fallen to the bottom this season, he lacks shooting, offense lacks the way of playing, in the case of the decline of athletic talent, the drawbacks are becoming more and more obvious, the Lakers have suffered from it this season, but also made Wei Shao's contract extension become very troublesome.
Wei Shao's contract is also only 1 year left, and he can choose to jump out of the contract! And there are also many teams in the NBA who have few ideas about Westbrook, such as pacers, Hornets, Wizards and so on! However, if they want to sign Wei Shao, presumably the new contract is less than 30 million per year, which is also a very risky contract, after all, Wei Shao's playing style is not necessarily suitable for the team.
2nd place: Owen!
Irving's contract expires at the end of this season, and he also wants to renew his contract with the Nets in the offseason, but whether to sign him, Tsai Chongxin has not yet made a clear attitude, because Irving may become a garbage contract.
Irving's ability is needless to say, absolutely the top of the league, and his form is also very good, but this player has too many off-court restless factors, and the Nets have basically been ruined by Irving this season.
If there is a team to sign Irving, he will not be able to make any moths, so it may be a fatal blow to the team, and from the perspective of Irving's mentality and performance, this possibility rate is still very high.
No. 1: Harden!
Saying that the riskiest top salary player who signs now may be Harden! Harden's decline this season is very obvious, the individual offense has no explosive power, and it is difficult to return to the style of the former scoring king! However, Harden's organizational ability is first-class, or a first-class star in the NBA, which makes the team want to renew the contract, there is a big contradiction.
Harden's form is down, but can he get back to form? This is something that the team could not have predicted! And if Harden can't get back to form, or even continue to decline, this is unbearable for any team! After all, Harden is 32 years old, and the 5-year, 270 million contract is a gamble, so Harden is also the riskiest free agent, and his contract is likely to shrink significantly. But if Harden can maintain the same performance as today's Heat, there is still no problem with the salary.
