3 super top salary crushes the Thunder! Sam Amick: The Rockets can copy Harden s trade 13 years ago

On May 23, the NBA officially announced the All-Defensive Team of the Season, and Thunder forward Jaylen Williams was selected. This season, Jaylen Williams averaged 21.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game. In addition, he led the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals and is currently leading the Timberwolves 2-0. Sam Amick predicts that Jaylen Williams will also be selected for the best team. With the All-Star selection this season, Jaylen Williams is likely to receive a contract renewal with designated rookie terms this summer. And the Thunder management will also give another striker Chetholmgren the same contract.

Sam Amick believes that three maximum salary contracts between Alexander, Williams and Homgren will crush the Thunder. Regardless of whether the Thunder wins this season, they are considering sending Williams or one of them next summer. In the summer of 2012, the Thunder entered the finals, but due to salary pressure, they sent Harden away. The Rockets have a chance to replicate the deal 13 years ago.

According to NBA reporter Mike Scotto, the Bucks did not wait for Antetokounmpo's return this week. The latter postponed the originally planned meeting with the team management this week and is still on vacation. The Bucks management is pessimistic about Antetokounmpo's return, and the team will examine the rookies who are expected to enter the top 8 this year. In addition, Mike Scotto also added that because of Antetokounmpo's attitude, the Bucks management will not fully refer to Antetokounmpo's wishes for where they will go in the future. They will send Antetokounmpo to a team that can give the Bucks the greatest reward. Later, Mike Scotto believed that he believed that the Bucks would send Antetokounmpo to the Rockets, because the latter would trade the superstar who has entered the top 4 of the MVP votes for seven consecutive seasons, and was full of interest. The Rockets need to be prepared to be hollowed out.
