There is a saying that goes like this: drought dies of drought, and waterlogging dies of waterlogging.
It refers specifically to the things that some people avoid, but in the eyes of others, they dream of. In the NBA league, this phenomenon is extremely serious.
Simmons everyone knows, right?
Philadelphia's famous ruthless man claimed that if the team did not trade it, he would not report on the team.
The team responded: "If you don't come to the team to report, you will be treated as absenteeism, deduct $227,000 a working day, and deduct 1.3 million a week." ”
Simmons: "Buckle it, I'm ready." ”
Simmons would rather be fined than report to the team, and many players work hard to get even a chance to turn right.
Jogy Ferrer is such a player.
In 2016, he entered the league as a lost draft.
He has played for the Nets, Lone Rangers, Kings, Cavaliers, Clippers, and changed five teams in five years.
In the regular season, the other players are thinking about how to play well and win a big contract.
And he wondered if he would be laid off after today.
Last season, he signed a ten-day short contract with the Clippers, worked hard for more than half a year, and finally got a regularization and renewed his contract with the team for 2 years and 2.19 million US dollars, of which the 2021-22 season was 1.98 million unsecured contracts.
After being laid off, he received a total of 210,000 yuan, which is about equal to the money that Simmons was deducted for one day of absenteeism.
In the offseason, the other players are looking forward to a longer offseason and a little longer, but he hopes that the offseason will end quickly, as long as he is not cut at the end of the offseason, even if he stays.
As the offseason draws to a close, teams are about to start training, and the Clippers are moving.
Heartache Brother Ferrer, but unable to do it, this is the reality.
There is Brad in the same team, there is Reggie, there is Kennard, Winslow, Preston, and there is no point in leaving an older person who is 1 meter 83 tall to lose the draft.
At this point, the free market has produced another dreamer, he has been tossing and turning in this alliance for five years, and how long is there to go next?
Maybe tomorrow, maybe another five years.
