There are some NBA players whose presence seems to have subverted the convention of "distribution according to work". No matter how they behave on the pitch or what they do in the dressing room, they don't seem to be at the heart of the team. But that didn't stop them from signing a jaw-dropping contract. Today, let's talk about the "windfall" players who can't help but shake their heads this season.
First of all, we have to mention Bertans of the Thunder. I still remember when he was dumped to the Thunder by the Mavericks as an unpopular contract, everyone was amazed by the Mavericks' big moves. However, Bertans' days with the Thunder were not so glamorous. Most of the time, he's a role player, averaging just 7 minutes per game. 5 minutes, the data is 3. 7 points and 1 rebound, only played 11 games in total. But unexpectedly, it was recently revealed that the Thunder wanted to give Bertans a raise, raising his guaranteed salary from 5 million to 5.25 million. Listen, it seems that Bertans can also get better treatment for himself in the case of "quietly".
Next, let's talk about former Magic star Fournier. He was once the best in the league, and his average of 18 points per game in a single season was quite eye-catching. But since his move to the Knicks, his light has dimmed. This season, Fournier's annual salary is as high as 18 million, but he only played one game and got an "amazing" result of 2 points and 1 rebound. It seems that Fournier has also accepted the change in his role, deciding to "lie flat" and enjoy his good income.
Vincent of the Lakers is also an interesting example. Last season, his performance was quite eye-catching, especially those two 20+ points, which won the favor of the Lakers and a three-year, 33 million contract. But this season, he has been far from performing, with injuries and even knee surgery, and is expected to be out for at least eight weeks. As a result, his position in the team has also become awkward. His annual salary reached 10.5 million, but his efficiency was surprisingly low and became another burden for the team.
Now, let's move on to the players who seem to be "invisible" in the NBA. Although they rarely appear in the game, they are on high contracts.
Speaking of "stealth" masters, we have to mention the veteran Tucker. The hardest player in the league, because he is willing to do dirty work, got a three-year contract of 33 million at the age of 36 last year. However, after being recently traded to the Clippers, his performance has been a big disappointment. Tucker, who was once favored, was abandoned by coach Tyronn Lue after a few games, and now his annual salary has reached 11.01 million, but the average data per game is a few 1. 3 points and 3 rebounds. Tucker's future has become uncertain, and the Clippers may have to pay a price to sell him.
Finally, we have to talk about Beal, who was traded to the Suns. Since signing 5 years 2. After the sky-high contract of 5.1 billion, his performance was doubtful. His form on the court is getting more and more loose, and he rarely has the determination to score 30 points in order to win. Beal has been sidelined multiple times this season with back tension and an ankle sprain, despite averaging 14 per game. 7 points, but compared to his annual salary of 46.74 million, such a performance is really disappointing. His state not only chilled the team, but even Durant, who has a large number of fans, was dissatisfied.
After discussing these players, we can't help but reflect on the fact that in the world of professional sports, a mismatch between contract and performance seems to be a common occurrence. Is it true that the high salaries of the players are directly proportional to their contribution on the pitch? However, like many things in life, it's not always so fair. Some players may be paid high salaries for past glory or potential, but whether they can consistently perform well is another matter.
In addition, we should also see that those players who seem to be "windfalls" also have their own stories and challenges behind them. They are also individuals who are struggling to survive in the tide of professional sports. Ultimately, these stories and figures aren't just numbers games, they reflect the complexity and multifaceted nature of professional sports.
For fans, these stories may be fodder for small talk, but they are also a way to gain a deeper understanding of the world of professional sports. When we talk about these "windfall" players, perhaps we can try to look at the complex and ever-changing world of sports from a broader perspective. Here, everyone has their own role and destiny, and behind each contract, there are hidden stories and challenges.
So, as a fan, what do you think of these players and their contracts, and do they perform in line with their income? Share your thoughts in the comments section and let's explore the controversial but fascinating world of sports.
