The Clippers officially announced two contract extensions! Weishao Plumli is officially back: the 16-man group of 300 million heroes rushed to the championship
On July 8, Beijing time, the Clippers officially announced two contract extensions, welcoming the return of Wei Shao and Plumlee. According to previous reports, the Clippers renewed Wilson for $7.8 million for 2 years and retained Mason Plumlee for $5 million for 1 year. With the official return of the two, the Clippers' current roster reaches 16 people, with a total salary + luxury tax of $300 million. The 16-man roster is still variable, and the Clippers are still pursuing Harden, but there is no substantial progress in the negotiations.
Last season, Wilson averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, and he chose to stay in his hometown of Los Angeles, although the Clippers can give less money. Former NBA star Arenas said of Wilson: "This guy averages 16 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and if Vincent had his numbers, Vincent would be looking for a 200 million contract. With Westbrook's data, these free agents would seek at least $150 million in contracts. So, I think he deserves a 3-year contract of about $42 million. ”
Thomas Bryant, who once teamed with Wilson, said of Wilson: "He was one of my smartest and most inclusive teammates, always had the best attitude and was always there for you. For example, if you need sneakers, he will immediately give you four pairs without saying a word. On the pitch he always tries to make your game easy, he will give you the ball and just want to see you succeed. ”
Plumlee returns to the Clippers for $5 million in 1 year. Hoops Hype Hall of Fame Michael Scotto reported that Plumlee attracted interest from several playoff teams including the Warriors and Hawks, but ultimately chose to return to the Clippers. He received more offers from other teams than the Clippers. Last season, Plumlee played in 23 games after being traded to the Clippers, averaging 7.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 72.7 percent from the field.
The Clippers' current roster has reached 16, sorted by salary: George, Leonard, Powell, Morris, Batum, Covington, Zubac, Mann, Plumlee, Weston, Coffey, Kobe Brown, Highland, Martin Jr., Boston and Preston. Among them, Preston is a non-guaranteed contract. The total salary of this lineup is $194 million, which is $303 million including the luxury tax.
