The league's 5 teams with low payouts and big returns: The Thunder are 20th in the league in total salary and 1st in the West

The new NBA season is coming to an end, which teams have succeeded this season, and which teams have failed, everyone also knows, as far as the Wizards are more failures, their total salary this season is as high as 191 million, the fifth in the league, and the result is the second-to-last record in the league. Of course, there are teams that spend a lot of money to do small things, and there must be teams with low expenses and high returns, so let's take a look at the 5 teams in the league that spend a lot of money to do big things.

thunder

The Thunder have achieved the first record in the West this season, which is something that many fans did not expect, after all, they are just a youth army, and they have to admire Presti's draft vision, they rebuilt the team for four years and won 4 cornerstones, and also got a future MVP-level player like Alexander, if Preece is better at operation, then the Thunder are expected to create a dynasty, and their total salary this season is only 164 million and only ranks 20th in the league.

You must know that the Warriors are 227 million this season, the first in the league, and their record is only tenth in the West, how can the Thunder make these teams who spend a lot of money embarrassed? This season the Thunder have played far beyond expectations, although they are likely not to go far in the playoffs, but they are also very successful, after all, they are still a young team, lack of experience, the future is theirs, and now the team can play such a competitive role, very good.

nix

The Knicks are ranked fourth in the East this season, and perhaps this is their last sweet time, because Anunoby will have a maximum salary contract next season, but fortunately, the team's boss Brunson was originally a 4-year 101 million year by year contract, and Randle's contract is not very large, so this also allows the Knicks to have a good salary space to bring in suitable blue-collar workers this season, and they signed DiVincenzo this season.

This season, the total salary of the Knicks is 162 million, less than the Thunder's, in this case, the team played the top four in the East, under the operation of Lyon Rose, the Knicks have gradually gotten rid of the title of fish belly in the past few years, and have become the East powerhouse, they are now very good in the thickness of the lineup, if you can change to a better coach, then the Knicks' ceiling will be higher, although Thibodeau is good, but he is too wasteful.

pedestrian

The rise of the Pacers this season is also a surprise to many fans, in fact, they showed signs of rise last season, the Pacers scored in the top seven in the East for a period of time last season, but because the team wanted a high draft pick, it eventually led to the Pacers starting to mess up, this season they don't need to mess up, the team also began to chase the record, as a result, they were led by Haliburton, the team once reached the midseason finals.

Now the Pacers are the top six in the East is also very good, Carlisle has shaped a good offensive system for this team, Haliburton has played at the level of a star, and now there is Sika to assist, I believe they will be the Eastern Conference playoff team for many years to come, and this season the Pacers' total salary is only 157 million, the seventh from the bottom in the league, and their salary is so low thanks to most players still in their rookie contracts.

magic

The Magic and the Thunder are somewhat similar, they have hoarded enough talent through years of rottenness, and finally completed the rise, although the Magic's talented players do not seem to be as high as the quality of the Thunder, but the Magic are much more expensive, they have as many as 7 top-10 picks, like Banchero, Wagner Jr., Suggs, Fultz, Isaac, Black and Carter Jr., this team is completely relying on defense and talent to play in the top five in the East.

Although their ceiling this season will not be too high, it is undeniable that the future of this team will definitely be very terrifying, after all, there are too many talents, Suggs and Banchero have a chance to grow into top stars in the future, and next season as long as they can develop better projection, the team will be even more terrifying, the Magic's total salary this season is 151 million The league's third-to-last salary, their big boss Banchero is only in the second year of his career, and it is estimated that the Magic will not be bothered by salary pressure for many years to come.

king

In fact, the Kings are not on this list by many fans, in fact, in addition to the big contracts of Fox and Sabonis, as well as the tens of millions of contracts of Barnes, Huerter and Monk, the others are either rookie contracts or base salaries, so the team does not spend much, and the team is only seventh in the West this season because the thickness of the roster is not good enough.

However, seeing that their total salary this season is only 152 million, the fourth lowest in the league, which is lower than the total salary of the Spurs, perhaps everyone should praise them for spending a small amount of money to do big things, but if the Kings want to achieve good results and prove themselves in the playoffs, then they need to spend more money to build a better lineup around the dual core. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these five teams? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
