Salary expert Smith said Tatum is already eligible to sign a five-year, $314.8 million super-cap contract extension with the Green Army.
With an average annual salary of more than $60 million, current NBA contracts are exaggerated to that extent.
Before that, Jaylen Brown signed a five-year, $304 million mega contract with the Green Army.
Some netizens' opinions on this can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
At the same time, some netizens mentioned that the ability of many players is not proportional to the salary they receive.
Take Tatum as an example, it always feels like a little bit away from the supergiant, and the most important thing is that he can't fight a tough battle.
In the playoffs this year, he averaged only 23.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting and shooting 41.3% from the field and 26.5% from three-point range.
The jump shot percentage was just 32.6 percent, the least efficient of any player currently playing the playoffs and taking at least 75 shots.
As for Jalen, who has received a $300 million contract, his performance in this year's playoffs is eye-catching, averaging 24.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, with a shooting rate of 55.6%, making him the Green Army's first scorer and most efficient player.
The famous Zhan Hei Skip led the battle after the G3 game between the Green Army and the Cavaliers: "Jaylen Brown is infinitely greater than Tatum. ”
It is worth mentioning that it was previously written that if the Green Army's top card is Jalen, then he will average 30 points per game and will be an MVP candidate.
Then I could see Jay, who was well-known to everyone at the top of the position, and silently liked the tweet.
Also after the G3 game, Jaylen bluntly said that Tatum needs to play a little more efficient and play dominance in some matchups.
In fact, it is not very fair to compare the two, Tatum and Jaylen are treated differently defensively, and the former is the opponent's number one care.
However, being able to dominate under the care of the key is the standard for entering the super giant threshold.
Dream Green thinks that Tatum, a former Finals loser, is one championship away from becoming a recognized supergiant.
Tatum respects his criticism of the outside world, but does not dare to agree with these views.
Closer to home, if the Green Army still hasn't won the championship, will it have an impact on Tatum's five-year, $314.8 million signing?
There shouldn't be any impact, the reason is very simple, Jaylen can get 300 million, Tatum can take the same.
Don't look at Jay Lun himself and outsiders who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement outside, they all think that the boss of the Green Army should be replaced, but the management of the Green Army is not stupid.
So far, the Green Army has led the Cavaliers 2-1 in the series, and there is basically no problem in passing the level.
When it comes to the Eastern Conference Finals, it will be the winner between the Pacers and the Knicks.
It's no wonder that when the Bucks and 76ers were all out, the Green Army booked a Finals spot.
But reaching the finals is nothing to celebrate for the Green Army, because it was the minimum goal they set at the beginning of the season, and the ultimate goal was naturally the championship.
But looking at it, none of the potential Finals opponents Thunder, Mavericks, Timberwolves and Nuggets are easy to mess with.
And Tatum and Jaylen's poor performance in the '22 Finals is still fresh in my mind, and it is inevitable that they will repeat the same mistakes this year.
Tatum and the Green Army both need a championship to elevate themselves, but the status quo and pressure are inevitable.
But then again, what year is the wind on the top of the mountain? That's it.
