As the saying goes, the playoffs are the stage of stars, but this is also an opportunity for role players, many role players rely on the performance of the big heart in the playoffs to win the big contract, the playoffs can be said to be the best opportunity for players to gild, after all, the defensive intensity in the playoffs is greater, and it is more difficult to score, of course, there are also players who fail to gild in the playoffs, so let's take a look at the 5 players who have lost the big contract in the playoffs.
Hilde
Hield played for the Pacers at the beginning of the season, and at that time it was reported that the Pacers gave him a lucrative contract extension, but Hield gave up, believing that he deserved a bigger contract, and in desperation, the Pacers also sent him to the 76ers at the trade deadline, and the Pacers deserved praise for this approach, after all, they were a playoff team at the time, and the 76ers were also a playoff team.
And the reason why Hield is willing to join the 76ers, one of the main reasons is that Embiid is injured, here he can get more balls, in addition, even if Embiid returns, their positions do not conflict, and he may even get more opportunities to shoot easily, Hield's small abacus played very well, but in the playoffs in the face of high-intensity play, his performance directly withered, averaging 5.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12 minutes per game, shooting only 41.2%, He is a free agent this summer.
Hayward
Hayward's performance during his time with the Hornets this season is still good, averaging 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and the attributes of the panacea are fully displayed, and it is precisely because Hayward is comprehensive enough that the Thunder chose to take him through a trade.
As a result, Hayward regretted it when he came to the West, the playoffs are not the same as the regular season, and he is not in the weak team Hornets, in the weak team Hornets, he will let him play if he doesn't play well, but in the Thunder, as long as you don't play well, you will be replaced, Hayward scored a total of 0 points in 7 playoff games, and he didn't dare to vote when the opportunity came out in the game, you must know that his annual salary this season is as high as 31.5 million, and it will be difficult to get a 5 million contract next season.
Harris
Toha has been playing for the 76ers in the past few years, and the 76ers tried to trade him away last summer, but because his contract was too big, Harris has not been able to be traded, and the 76ers didn't want to try it at the trade deadline, because they were injured at the time, and the team needed immediate strength, Harris played poorly in the playoffs, but it was okay in the regular season, and Harris did not disappoint the outside world, he helped the 76ers reach the playoffs in the regular season.
In the playoffs, Embiid and Maxey faced various forms of high-intensity defense, and the team urgently needed him, the third core, to stand up, and even said that in terms of salary, he was the second core of the team, with an annual salary of 39.27 million, but he did not play as well as Oubre in the playoffs. averaged 9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 33% from three-point range.
Ingram
Ingram had a chance to reach a super-max salary extension with the Pelicans this summer, which is not the same as his Sika reached a 4-year, 190 million contract with the team yesterday, Ingram had a chance and could have done it, but Ingram's performance in the playoffs destroyed his big contract, and it also gave the Pelicans the idea of sending him away. During the regular season, Ingram played well and played at a star level.
But in the playoffs, he still faced the young Thunder, I thought he could stand up when Zion was injured, but he was completely locked up by Dort, but in the playoffs, he averaged 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game, and the shooting rate was only 34.5%, and the three-point shooting rate was 25%. It's your own inefficiency, right? He has one year left on his contract, and hopefully he can prove himself next season, otherwise he really won't have a chance to get a big contract.
Hardaway Jr
Hardaway Jr. became the sixth man of the Mavericks during the regular season, and the third core of the team, averaging 14 points per game, at first the Mavericks still planned to trade him, and when they saw that Hardaway Jr. played so well, the team also gave up the trade, they chose to let him continue to serve as the third core, at the end of the regular season, Hardaway Jr. was also successfully selected for the best sixth man, and in the playoffs, he thought he would continue his previous performance.
As a result, he couldn't shoot in the open position on the offensive end, and the defensive end was also an ATM, and his psychological quality was extremely poor, and when it came to the big lead, his self-confidence came, and he could brush up on the data in various ways, Hardaway Jr. averaged 4.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and the shooting rate was 38%, because of his poor performance, Kidd often abandoned him, and he still had a one-year contract, and it is estimated that the Mavericks would choose to trade him away.
