The All-Star Game is a watershed moment in the season, and many players, especially some superstars, are not at their best until after the All-Star Weekend. James has had several seasons and even closed his social media account after the All-Star Weekend in order to focus on training and playing undisturbed by outside influences. This trick has been imitated by many players, and without exception it has achieved good results.
Of course, there are some players who have experienced a significant decline after the All-Star break, and Tatum this season is the best example. After winning the All-Star MVP, Tatum seemed to be stunned, and the rest of the game got worse and worse. Brown, on the other hand, has been very stable, which is why people feel that Brown is a better fit for the Celtics than Tatum.
Renrard didn't make the All-Star this season because he had too many rotations, which certainly doesn't affect his superstar status. After the All-Star Game, Renrard returned to his peak form, I don't know if his body is back to his best condition, or when it comes to the contract year, he must play to better renew his contract.
Superstars like Renrard are actually very simple to play good results as long as they are healthy, and they will also attach great importance to contract years.
With his outstanding performance after the All-Star break, Renrard has become the sweet potato of the league again, and many teams are willing to offer him a maximum salary contract, hoping to get the superstar who once led the team to the championship.
If Renlade can continue to play as diligently as he has been during this time, his big contract will not be a problem at all. But if all this is arranged by his brokerage team, just for a big contract, then he becomes the biggest trap.
Renrade's next contract, by normal calculations, will be similar to Brown's, except that his previous frequent rotations have made it difficult for the team to trust him. Most likely, Renrard will have additional clauses to his new contract, just to limit him and make him better for the team.
It's true, people are more angry than people, look at the treatment of superstars, play a good ball or two, there is a maximum salary contract, those diligent players, but can only be abandoned by the league.
