126 million in 3 years! 118 million in 2 years! The hottest star is born, don’t blame the NBA for being ruthless to you

NBA players' salaries are rising, maximum salary contracts are flying everywhere, and superstars are rewriting history with one super maximum salary contract after another. For example, three-time MVP winner Jokic can sign a three-year, $212 million super maximum salary contract during the offseason, with an average salary of over $70 million, which is astonishing as the past and present. For example, new MVP Alexander can sign a four-year, $293.4 million super maximum salary contract during the offseason, with an average salary of $73.3 million, which will make him the most efficient player in the NBA. However, a big contract is a double-edged sword. If a player cannot play a dominant power that matches his value, the team will be deeply hurt! Looking at the current league, there are two hot maximum-paid stars, it’s a pity to give up if you eat it tastes boring! Next, let us uncover their true colors together.

3, with $126 million, Zion became the first hot star to be unable to help, Zion of the Pelicans. Zion's No. 2019 No. 1 Scholar is also a rare genius. He has O'Neal's body shape, Barkley's flexibility, and Antetokounmpo's impact. He has become the king of the league's penalty area at a young age. Buddha blocks and kills Buddhas and gods! However, Zion's violent aesthetics killed 1,000 enemies and suffered 800 of them. The injury made him watch the wall for a long time. In the first three seasons of his career, Zion only played 85 games in total, which was shocking! Even so, the Pelicans gritted their teeth and gave Zion a five-year, $197 million maximum salary contract for designated rookie terms in the 2022 offseason, with many additional terms taken. This is enough to illustrate two things: First, Zion's ceiling is really high; second, the Pelicans are willing to give Zion time to justify themselves.

What can be achieved? Zion is really an Adou who can't help him. He can't control his mouth or his legs! On the field, Zion took the initiative to adjust his playing style, but he still could not guarantee his attendance rate and his impact was greatly reduced. This season, Zion averaged 24.6 points + 7.2 rebounds + 5.3 assists + 1.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.7% (a career low). Outside the arena, Zion is full of energy and causes trouble everywhere - his college girlfriend accused him of various crimes and claimed 18-50 million US dollars; adult actresses also frequently criticized Zion, and the content can only be understood but not expressed in words! Zion has 3 years and $126 million left in contract. According to US media, the Pelicans want to trade Zion more than ever, but then again, which team is willing to act as a sucker and become the Fat Tiger's takeover?

2 USD 118 million, Bill became the second hot star to be the Suns' Bill. Turning back to the summer of 2022, Bill signed a five-year, super maximum salary contract of US$251 million with his old club, breaking the NBA historical record at that time. Bill signed such a large contract with one person and one city, which was considered as the Wizards paying for his loyalty, but the Wizards were fascinated by the wits and gave Bill a veto on the deal! What is this concept? Looking at the current league, only James has the right to trade veto; looking at NBA history, there are no more than 10 players with the right to trade veto! Everything was settled, Bill chose to lie flat, the Wizards threw this hot potato to the sun, who was stupid and had a lot of money, and the Suns boss became a real sucker when he first entered the league!

This season, Bill played only 53 games for the Suns, averaging 17 points + 3.3 rebounds + 3.7 assists + 1.1 steals per game. Obviously, this is not compatible with the annual salary of US$50.2 million. As early as the middle of the season, the Suns racked their brains to send Bill away, but Bill held the veto of the deal as if he was holding a gold medal for death - we wouldn't go anywhere, do whatever we like! Now, the Suns have completed the change of coaches. Booker is expected to renew the 2-year, $150 million contract to continue the legend of one person and one city. The KD transaction is steadily advancing, but Bill's situation in the Suns is becoming more and more embarrassing, better than nothing! At present, Bill has two years and $118 million left in the contract. Considering that he will not give up his trade veto, how to deal with Bill will still be a problem for the Suns during the offseason!

The hottest star was born, don't blame the NBA for being ruthless to you

Zion and Bill were both hopes for the whole village. They signed the maximum salary contract early with the right time, place and people. This is understandable, but it is undeniable that the new wave of the NBA league pushed the previous wave, and a generation of new players beat the old ones. After signing the maximum salary contract, they failed to go further. They even squandered their talents in the NBA's most hot football star. It's a pity to give up if they eat it without taste! Life experience tells me that if a person cannot manage his body and health well, or even his mouth and legs well, such a person is not worthy of deep friendship! At least from the current situation, Zion and Bill are both such people. The law of the NBA jungle, the crouching tiger and hidden dragon. If Zion and Bill cannot be shamed and brave, don’t blame the NBA for being ruthless to you. Your NBA career path will become narrower and narrower until there is no way out!
