Kidd increases his salary and renews his contract, Westbrook refuses a multi-million dollar contract! Green’s injury update, the great is about to return

1:46pm, 15 October 2025【Basketball】

The new NBA season is about to start. The US Men’s Basketball Team officially announced that Heat coach Spoelstra will become the new head coach. Spoelstra led the Heat to three NBA championships, and also served as the chief assistant to assist former U.S. men's basketball coach Kerr in winning the Paris Olympic gold medal. Now, Spoelstra has taken over the torch of the United States coach from Cole, which is what everyone expected! Spoelstra said frankly in an interview: I feel deeply honored. This is a great honor. Having the opportunity to lead the team in the United States for the Olympics will be an unparalleled experience. However, Spoelstra should not be too happy too early. With the aging of Janduku Hawi and the overall rise of European basketball, it will be quite difficult for the American Dream Team to defend its dominance in basketball! In addition, there are many new developments in the NBA league. Let’s take a look.

First: Kidd’s salary increase and contract renewal

According to NBA reporter Stein, sources revealed that Kidd and the Mavericks have signed a multi-year contract ahead of schedule. Subsequently, US media followed up with reports that Kidd received a new and modified early contract extension. This contract increased Kidd's salary and the cooperation between the two parties will last until the 2027-28 season. After the contract extension was finalized, Mavericks GM Harrison pointedly pointed out: Kidd's basketball resume is among the best in the industry. He has a glorious record of cultivating the league's top stars. He is the ideal coach to lead this team to compete for championships now and in the future. Dumont, the Mavericks boss, also made it clear: Kidd's achievements on the court are obvious to all. He has all the leadership qualities we expect, and I believe he can lead the team to chase the championship. People are in high spirits during happy events. Kidd also issued a military order in an interview. He said: I am very grateful to the team owner and management for their trust. We have a group of talented players who love basketball. I look forward to bringing the next championship to the Mavericks.

Second: Westbrook rejected a multi-million dollar contract

According to previous reports from the US media, a CBA team offered Westbrook a large contract with an annual salary of 10 million to 14 million US dollars. What is this concept? If Westbrook stays in the NBA with a veteran's minimum salary contract, his annual salary will be only $3.6 million, a difference of more than three times! According to the US media, this contract only requires Westbrook to play half a season and play approximately 23 games. If Westbrook can lead the team to the playoffs, then he can also get a salary increase! The treatment was so generous, but Westbrook still rejected this multi-million contract. According to famous NBA reporter Stein, Westbrook has no intention of playing overseas and is still focused on returning to the NBA. This is Westbrook. Even though he is no longer the flying MVP, his mentality is still at the MVP level: What I lack is not money, and I haven’t fallen to the point of playing in overseas leagues!

Third: Green’s injury update

Green missed the NBA China Open due to a left hamstring injury, injury update. Suns coach Ott said in an interview: Green strained his left hamstring again during the trip to China and will be re-evaluated in 10 days. There is only one week left before the Suns' opening game (Kings VS Suns on October 23), which means Green will miss the opening game of the new regular season. In the first four seasons of his career, Green only missed 21 games in total, with an attendance rate of 93.6%. Especially in the past two seasons, Green has maintained perfect attendance in 82 games! From the Houston Ironman to the injured in Phoenix, I don’t know whether Green’s frequent injuries are due to too much training intensity or whether his 40-year-old girlfriend privately taught him to fight with intensity. But one thing is certain, Green’s big contract will take effect from the new season. He must hold himself to higher standards, rectify his name, and fight for the next big contract.

Fourth: The Emperor is about to make a comeback

There is good news from the 76ers, the Emperor is about to make a comeback. According to previous reports, the Emperor has participated in the team's training match for the first time in 8 months, dunking and dueling as if he was back to his peak. Just today, 76ers coach Nurse said in an interview: The Great may return in the last game of the preseason against the Timberwolves. Subsequently, NBA famous reporter Brian Wndorst pointedly pointed out in his podcast: The Emperor is indeed in good condition during training. If everything goes well, we are expected to see him return in the regular season opener. We never expected that he could return earlier than George. After the MVP season, the Emperor has only played 58 games in the past two years. I hope the Emperor can return in good health. There is not much time left for him and the 76ers to believe in the process! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
