Buddha shows zero and still can't stop 8 teams from coaxing What is the value of Thompson, who is seriously injured
Hello everyone, I'm King, on the night when the Warriors failed to hit the playoffs, Thompson staged a "Buddha shows zero" moment, playing 34 minutes with 10 shots and 0 hits, which made Warriors fans sigh the ruthlessness of time. And shortly after his sluggish performance, Thompson also said that he would test the free agent market this summer in pursuit of a salary worthy of his value.
I thought that Buddha Xian Zero would dissuade all teams in the league and let Thompson accept the fate of playing as a substitute next season. Who would have thought that bookmakers had already set odds on Thompson's departure, and as many as eight teams were interested in the Warriors' meritorious veteran. Considering that the NBA is a basketball league that always has the first commercial value, the 8 teams coaxing Thompson behind it must not be explained by feelings and appreciation.
In the eyes of many fans, the current Thompson is useless. But the fact is that Thompson played less than 30 minutes this season, but he still averaged 17.9 points per game and shot 38.7% from three-point range. In addition, Thompson averages 3.5 three-pointers per game, and the only better shooters than him are Curry, Doncic and McCollum.
As a historic pitcher, Thompson's projection has never been a problem. His decline is more on the defensive end. This season, Thompson's defensive efficiency and interference shooting have fallen to the middle and lower levels of the league. He is no longer able to play the role of a defender, but he can use his defensive experience and tonnage to play as the number four in the small-ball lineup.
The surplus value is not low, which is also the confidence of Thompson to dare to ask for a high salary. Today's league salaries are generally inflated, and Holiday has also signed a four-year, $130 million contract not long ago. The data is not as good as Thompson's Gwee, and he can get 54 million in 4 years. Looking at it this way, Thompson will be offered a four-year contract with an annual salary of 20 million yuan, which many teams will give.
If Thompson can go to a team where his star is in his prime, he can play beautiful statistics in a new environment just by shooting well. After all, he is a historical pitcher with a deep background. This is also the key reason why other teams want to sign him.
In a way, Thompson hasn't had a good time with the Warriors this year. In addition to the decline in their own ability, the overall strength of the Warriors is also one of the reasons, and Thompson, who has gone to a new environment to play in a stronger team, may find his peak form.
