The playoffs can be said to be the stage of superstars, or it can be said to be a mirror of demons, some stars who hit hard in the regular season always play abnormally in the playoffs. For example, Beal of the Suns, or Russell of the Lakers, as long as they can perform a little better, the Lakers and Suns will not be out so quickly.

Especially Russell, who broke the Lakers' all-time three-point record in the regular season, is usually so flamboyant on the court, but after playing a series with the Nuggets, he was completely beaten back to his original shape, playing abnormally in 3 out of 5 games, and even having an embarrassing performance of 0 points in a single game, I believe Russell will be the first target of the Lakers offseason. Unlike Russell, there are some stars who get better and better in the playoffs. 34 points per game, 32 points per game! Before the first round of the NBA is over, the top salary of these four people has been stabilized

So far, the highest score in this year's playoffs is not Doncic or Embiid, but Brunson, who has been underrated by everyone. At the end of the regular season, Randle was reimbursed for the season, and with one less All-Star insider, Brunson still led the team to second place in the East. In the first round against the strong 76ers, Brunson led the team to a 3-1 lead, and it can be said that promotion is in sight.

After 5 games, Brunson has 2 40+ points and 1 39 points, and the more critical the game, the better his performance becomes, as if his fitness is endless. In addition to scoring, Brunson also has 8.4 assists, which is too important for a team like the Knicks who don't score too much. Although he has only been with the Knicks for 2 years, he is already eligible for an early contract extension this offseason, and he can sign a maximum salary of 156 million for 4 years. If Brunson wants to take more, he can wait for next year and directly make a five-year 260 million-level fat contract.

Brunson has such a strong play, and the opponent is of course the key, and the 76ers have forced him to the best form. Embiid is also averaging 31.8 points per game, and even has one game of 50 points. However, the 76ers' best performance is still the core of the backcourt, Maxey. In this year's regular season, Maxey was selected as an All-Star and won the Most Improved Award, but who would have thought that his performance in the playoffs would overshadow Embiid. Averaged 32.4 points per game, 2 games 30+, 1 game 46 points in 5 games. G5 Brunson scored 40 points and still lost because Maxey played better than him. In addition, he also scored 5.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists, and also shot 50% from the field, hitting multiple key shots. Over the past year, Maxey has repeatedly turned down contract extensions with the 76ers, and he is now fully qualified to sign a $260 million cap.

Murray has only one year left on his contract, and whether the Nuggets win the championship this year or not, they need to face the problem of renewing his contract early, but Murray has also proved himself with strength. In 4 playoff games, he averaged 23.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, shooting only 40% from the field, which is honestly not as good as his self last year. But Murray's ability to play key shots is too strong, and there are 2 quasi-kills in only 5 games, without Murray's two key shots, the Nuggets will not be too easy even if they can advance. It can also be seen that Murray is indeed the most suitable outside partner for Mr. Yu now, and replacing him with other All-Stars may not have such a good effect. If the Nuggets want to build a dynasty, their first task is to re-sign Murray with a maximum salary.

The last one is Banchero, who won the Rookie of the Year last year, and this season led the Magic to the playoffs. The Cavaliers' interior line has Allen and Mobley, and they are very strong, but in the face of Banchero, they are still crushed in talent. After 5 games, Banchero had 2 games of 20+, 2 games of 30+, G5 scored 39 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Magic team only scored 103 points. Not only is he talented, but he is also a big player, and whether the Magic team can advance or not this year, Banchero has evolved and will have a new understanding of the game. The All-Star and All-Star teams will be available next year, and by the summer of 2025, the Magic will definitely offer the top salary without even thinking about it, which is no suspense.
