Annual salary of 29 million is only 7 points per game! One of the league s largest junk contracts, does the Warriors still want him?

On June 9, there are not many news in the league today, but G2 will start in the finals today. If the Thunder wants to regain their confidence, they must win this game. If the two home games are 2-0 by their opponents, then even if the Thunder is strong on paper, it will be difficult for them to complete a comeback. To be honest, from the showdown between these two teams, perhaps we should be able to see the direction of the future league development.

The small ball era was just popular, and many centers did not have the ability to shoot, which led to their unemployment. Now, with the deepening of the small ball era, many teams have the ultimate five-for-one system. The center not only has good three-point shooting ability, but also can protect the frame. Therefore, the team's offense and defense are guaranteed. The current five-for-one not only makes the team's offense better, but also has stronger defense than the early days of the small ball era. This is the future development trend of the league.

Seeing the success of the Pacers and the Thunder, it is estimated that many teams will follow their example in the offseason to do so. In fact, it was not them that started the five foreign system, but the Celtics. Last season's Celtics relied on such a lineup and they won the championship. However, this season, the Celtics suffered injuries and Tatum's Achilles tendon rupture was reimbursed for the season. Under such circumstances, the Celtics also had the idea of ​​changing the lineup.

According to US media reports, the Warriors intend to send away several main players during the offseason to reduce expenses. After all, if the players with contracts stay in the team next season, the team's salary + luxury tax will exceed 500 million. Such expenses, considering that they cannot win the championship next season, it is reasonable for them to choose to lay off employees. According to US media reports, the three most likely players to give up during the offseason are Holiday, Porzingis and Hauser.

Holiday has a three-year contract of 100 million yuan. Although he is still a good puzzle for the championship, considering his age and condition, it is understandable that the team wants to send him away. Now many teams in the league are interested in getting Holiday, such as the Clippers, Mavericks and other powerful men. Although Holiday has suffered a lot of losses to the Celtics, they must do this considering the expenses next season.

And the most important thing is that if the Celtics want to avoid high luxury taxes, it is not enough to send away a big contract. They also need to send away one. But the problem now is that it is difficult for Porzingis to send away. His annual salary is 29.27 million yuan. As a former All-Star player, this annual salary does not seem to be high. However, considering Porzingis' attendance rate and his performance, he is a premium contract. It is likely that he will get a player who is also a premium contract, so the Celtics thought of trading Hauser away to reduce expenses.

Porzingis has been playing for the Celtics in the past two years. Because the Celtics have a good record, everyone has always ignored that Porzingis is a garbage contract. Especially after helping the Celtics win the championship last season, Porzingis is considered one of the best space anti-aircraft guns in the league. However, they don’t know that Porzingis fished for three days and had a poor attendance rate, otherwise he would not have won such a contract.

Because of the Celtics' record, everyone has ignored the fact that Porzingis is often absent and in poor form. Take this season for example. Porzingis has only played 42 games this season, with a attendance rate of barely exceeding 50%, averaging 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%, and averaging 2.5 three-point shooting average. The Pope's space projection ability is indeed excellent, and his performance is also at the level of a star. It seems that the Celtics can also accept his low attendance rate.

But in the playoffs, he showed his true colors of defense, with averaging 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 15.4%. Because of his poor performance, Mazula asked him to play as a substitute in the playoffs. From this point of view, Porzingis is indeed not worth a contract of 29 million, and it may be that the Celtics intends to trade him away. Now the news from the US media is that the Warriors are interested in him. The Warriors team has always been interested in the big space. Last season, they were interested in Markkanen and now they are interested in the gods. It is estimated that Cole also wants to try the five foreign system. After all, through the past two years, the current five small lineups can no longer keep up with the times. But in terms of Porzingis' attendance rate and performance, is it really appropriate for the Warriors to win him? Perhaps the Warriors also want to bet that Porzingis can play in the regular season this season and improve attendance.

After all, next season is the last year of Porzingis's contract. If he wants to continue to win a big contract in the future, he must improve his attendance rate and performance. It does not seem to be much harm to the Warriors. After all, there is only one year contract, and you can give up if you can't play well. Having said that, what do you want to say about Porzingis?
