103 million in 2 years! 163 million in 3 years! The most hottest NBA star was born, and Harden the Great returned to the same goal

The NBA league is worth every inch of land, super big contracts are flying everywhere, and garbage contracts are emerging one after another! During this offseason, another epoch-making event happened in the league: Alexander and the Thunder completed a four-year, super maximum salary contract of US$285 million. This is the first major contract in NBA history to have an average salary of US$70 million. He will become the first player in NBA history to have an annual salary of US$75 million in the 2030-31 season. Alexander led the Thunder to win the first championship trophy in team history last season and won the scoring champion + MVP + FMVP. This super top salary contract was a commendation he won. Victory and Carnival belong to Oscar and Alexander, but Alexander's former boss, the Clippers, became the target of ridicule, because the Clippers sent away Alexander's small card + George Gemini combination that had fallen apart, and both of them became the hottest stars in the NBA league.

Turn back to the 2019 offseason, Kah was eager to play for his hometown of Los Angeles, but he proposed a condition to the Clippers: George must be brought first. So, the Clippers and the Thunder completed an epic deal of 9 for 1. The Clippers sent Alexander + Gallinari 4 unprotected first-round picks + 1 protected lotto pick + 2 first-round swap rights to the Thunder and got George of the Thunder. The Clippers have made the Little Ka + George Gemini combination at all costs, transforming them into offseason champions, but they are just offseason champions. The two teamed up for 5 seasons and "gathered few" due to injuries. It is the biggest achievement to help the Clippers touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals for the first time in history. This is also one of the reasons why the Gemini combination disintegrated early in the offseason last year.

2, 103 million US dollars, and everyone pushed

This year's offseason, the Clippers reorganized their lineup and introduced Paul, Collins, Lopez, Bill and other strong aids and supporters, Xiaoka and Harden. This Sunset Red Team once again ushered in the championship window. But what is the result? The Clippers have not set sail yet, but they are deeply involved in the turmoil of Xiaoka's Yin-Yang contract. According to previous reports by US media, Xiao Kabai took Aspiration's 28 million US dollars endorsement contract + US$20 million equity, while Clippers boss Ballmer invested the company in US$50 million at an abnormal price. This series of actions is suspected of evading the salary cap. Not only that, Xiaoka's wall fell and everyone pushed it. Xiaoka's series of privileges in the Clippers were exposed by the media, including but not limited to the Clippers' lack of authority to interfere with their injuries, the Clippers provide them with private plane commuters, arrange for their relatives to enter the team to work, etc. The Clippers' repeated compromises have made Xiaoka's team worse, causing chaos within the team.

According to statistics from US media ESPN reporter Baxter Holmes, since Xiaoka joined the team in 2019, he has signed a total of US$240 million in guarantee contracts, and has been investigated by all parties three times, prosecuted twice, and fined twice. At present, the league's investigation of Xiaoka is in progress. Clippers boss Ballmer also clearly expressed his welcome to the league's investigation to restore the truth. According to the US media, this will be a protracted battle of multi-party games, and it is expected that it will not be concluded until the All-Star Weekend. But the problem is that the Xiaoka Yin-Yang contract is like the sword of Damoris hanging over the Los Angeles Clippers, affecting the Clippers' prospects for winning the championship! At present, Xiaoka has two years and $103 million left. US media pointed out incisively: The Clippers are panicked and worried about becoming the next Spurs, Ballmer needs to cut with Kat as soon as possible, and the Clippers internal members hope to end their cooperation with Kat as soon as possible.

3, 163 million US dollars, George lost his courage, and turned his time back to last year's offseason. The negotiations for renewal between George and the Clippers ended unhappily. The key is that George, like Lion Ka, spoke out loud and asked the Clippers for maximum salary, and the Clippers were unwilling to be the sucker again. In the end, George signed a four-year, $212 million maximum salary contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and transferred to the Eastern Conference Supporting Emperor. As usual, George once again made a harsh statement at the beginning of joining the Sixers: I am here to assist the Emperor, we have Maxi, we have a better prospect of winning the championship than the Clippers, we must work hard together and work hard, not only believe in the process, but also bring the NBA championship trophy back to Philadelphia.

What can be achieved? The 76ers only achieved a record of 24 wins and 58 losses last season, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. In this process, the Emperor was destroyed by his injuries, and George was unable to cross the two mountains of age and injury, and he was no longer as brave as he was back then! Last season, George played 41 games for the 76ers, averaging 32.5 minutes per game, scoring only 16.2 points + 5.3 rebounds + 4.3 assists + 1.8 steals per game, shooting percentage of 43%, and three-point shooting percentage of only 35.8%. Currently, George has three years and $163 million left in his contract. George has undergone knee surgery during the offseason, and this contract still leaves the 76ers feeling like he is stuck in his throat. Even the US media couldn't help but joke: The league's most severe punishment for the Clippers is to force them to sign George back!

The hottest stars in the NBA were born, and Harden and the Great were the same as each other. Whether it was the small card or George, they were once the league's top small forwards with the most balanced offense and defense. Now they have become the hottest stars in the NBA, making people feel sad and angry at their misfortune! If we want to trace the root of the problem, the key is that they are not good at position and are ruined by injuries! Take Xiao Ka for example. He is obsessed with enjoying superstar privileges and disregarding the team's interests. How can he convince the public? Take George as an example. He didn't have Pippen's life but just wanted to be Pippen's disease, so he naturally did nothing! It has to be said that Emperor Harden met the wrong person but had the same fate. They were eager to change their partners to win the championship, but their efforts were in vain and they were gradually drifting away from the championship! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
