After playing three games in the first round of the playoffs, who is the worst performer? Some fans choose Lakers guard Russell, and some fans choose 76ers forward Tobias Harris. Let's compare the contracts of the two: Russell's contract is 2 years and $36 million, and his salary this season is 17.31 million. Harris is on a five-year, $180 million contract for $39.27 million this season.

Russell has a $18.69 million player option next season, and he is likely to jump out of his contract and leave the Lakers. In this year's playoffs, Russell played an average of 34.7 minutes per game, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, shooting 32.6% from the field, 30.8% from three-point range, and 0 free throws in 3 playoff games.

For comparison, Russell played 76 games for the Lakers in the regular season this season, starting 69 of them. He averaged 32.7 minutes per game, 18 points, 3.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 turnovers while shooting 45.6% from the field, 41.5% from three-point range, 82.8% from the free throw line, and 2.5 free throws per game.

In fact, Lakers fans should have psychological expectations, Russell will pull his hips almost every playoff game. With his regular season performance, he can get an annual salary of more than $20 million, and his playoff performance is not worth $10 million. But Harris's performance surprised 76ers fans, and he averaged 16+8+3 per game in his playoff career, which was better than the regular season.

In this year's playoffs, Harris played an average of 35 minutes per game, scoring only 8.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.3 steals, shooting 39.3% from the field and 27.3% from three-point range, and also made 0 free throws in 3 games. Former NBA player Rashid Wallace yelled at Harris: "He played like a lump of soaring, and he took so much money, TM gave me something to do!"

Compare Harris's regular season performance: He played 70 games for the 76ers this season, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, scoring 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1 steal, shooting 48.7% from the field, 35.3% from three-point range, and 87.8% from the free throw line. Although it's not worth the 40 million annual salary, it's much better than the playoffs!

Thankfully for the 76ers, Harris' $180 million contract expires this summer. No matter which team he goes to, it is impossible to get an annual salary of 40 million. Harris' career salary of $212 million is the most important player in NBA history who has never made an All-Star. People are more angry than people, and the total salary of Thomas Jr.'s career is 37 million......

Harris was born on July 15, 1992, is 2.01 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.11 meters. In the 2011 draft, Harris was selected with the 19th pick in the first round. The 30th pick that year was Butler, and the 60th pick was Thomas Jr. Butler's total career salary is $263 million, and his 13-year career combined is only $50 million more than Harris.

Butler and Harris's achievements in the NBA, as well as their status on their respective teams, the gap is definitely more than these 50 million. So far in her NBA career, Harris has only won 1 Monthly Award and 3 Weekly Awards, and has no other honors. At present, it is rumored that the Pistons are interested in Harris, what do you think his next contract is?
