The media announced the players who are expected to sign super cap salaries in the offseason, and Doncic and Alexander seem to have confirmed that a super cap salary will be given to the team soon, after all, they are the cornerstone players of the team, and the team will be built around them in the future. Fox, Siakam, Murray, and Ingram only have a certain probability, and it is difficult to achieve it, and there is another person on the list who is Adebayo of the Heat, and the media, including fans, are not very optimistic about him, thinking that he has the lowest probability of getting a super maximum salary, and some people even think that it is worth a maximum salary contract at most.
At present, Adebayo's contract is 5 years and 163 million, and the contract has two years to expire, in fact, according to the league's regulations, Adebayo has the opportunity to renew his contract before November this year, and he can get a 2-year 97 million contract at most. Later, the media followed up and reported that Adebayo's team did not want to renew his contract before November, because they believed that according to the current state, they could pursue a contract with a maximum salary, after all, he was only 26 years old and was in his peak state, and the contract period was relatively short, so he rejected the opportunity to renew his contract.
According to sources, Adebayo intends to renew his contract early at the end of the season, or even pursue a super cap salary, but several conditions must be met, be selected for the best team, or get the best defensive player award, or get the MVP award, MVP and the best team obviously have no play, but the best defensive player award has some hope, has been selected for the best defensive second team for four consecutive years, it should be mentioned that in the voting for the best defensive player last season, Adebayo got 0 votes, the Heat's interior defense depends on Adebayo, and the defensive coverage area is much larger than that of ordinary inside, and the absolute defensive core of the team。
If Bam Adebayo is named to the All-NBA Team this season, or the All-Defensive Player of the Year, he can pursue a four-year, $245 million cap salary in the offseason, with an average annual salary of up to $61 million. However, according to an executive in the East, even if Adebayo reaches a super maximum salary condition, the Heat will not offer such a large contract, and the annual salary will be between 48 million and 52 million, which is equivalent to a maximum salary contract. Adebayo is really not worth paying so much, he does not have the ability to be a star, he is not the winner of the team, and his playoff performance is even a little sluggish.
Bam Adebayo is averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game this season while shooting 50.6 percent from the field , One of the 6 players who sent 300 blocks and 300 steals in the past 5 seasons, and last season's player blocked and changed defenses Adebayo was second in the league, even if the defensive end is very efficient, but the desire on the offensive end is too low, this season's offensive efficiency Heat rotation players rank at the bottom, below the league average, and it is not a player who can determine the direction of the team's victory or defeat, so it is not worth providing a super cap salary for such a player, not to mention that this is in the Heat, how big do you think Adebayo's next contract should be?
