Average of 21+11+9! The ultimate defeat to the Lakers, is Gidedi worth 4 years and 80 million contracts?

Josh Gidey averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game after the All-Star season 24-25. Average of 21+11+9. During the same period, Jokic is the only two players in the league who averaged triple-double or quasi-triple-double.

In fact, the highlights of this shijidi don't know how to stop there.

For example, the Bulls' home game on March 28, in the last 3 seconds, Giddy stepped on the midline LOGO to complete a long three-pointer to defeat the Lakers. There is not much time left + three points beyond, and more importantly, there is a dramatic change. It can be said that Gidey's ultimate victory has been recorded in the history of the NBA.

Although the overall performance of the season is good, due to the lack of salary space for each team this summer, this gives the Bulls the opportunity to lower the price, resulting in Giddy not being able to get a big contract as she wished. The same situation includes the Warriors' Kumingga, the Nets' Thomas Jr. and the Sixers' Grimes.

However, according to the NBA China official website, Gidey expects to reach a four-year contract renewal of 80 million to 90 million with the Bulls.

Putting aside other factors, is Gidey worth a 4-year, 80 million contract?

I think it's still worth it.

Reason 1: Progress. As a tall guard who is 203 in height, Gidey is at the top of the same position in rebounding, tandem and defense. For example, the career rebounding rate is 13.7%, compared with Hart's 12.7%, which exceeds most forwards or even a small part of the inside.

The shortcoming is that the offensive means are relatively lacking, especially the ability to shoot from a long shot. The three-point rate of

1 and 21-22 quarters was 26.3%; the

2 and 22-23 quarters were 32.5%; the

3 and 23-24 quarters were 33.7%; the

4 and 24-25 quarters were 37.8%.

Comparison, Gidi's three-pointers showed a clear trend of progress.

37.8% three-pointer rate and 1.5 goals per game are indeed not top-notch, but it is definitely enough. For example, when defensive strength is against the Knicks, Magic, and Clippers, they all hit 5+ three-pointers with a three-pointer rate of no less than 50%. I mean, when the defense is strong, you can still output stably from the outside. If there is obvious improvement in

, it will be difficult for the opponent to defend in a targeted manner as before. So, the performance of the All-Star post is close to a quasi-triple double-double - the plasticity is greatly improved while also raising the upper limit. Maintaining the current outside level, there is still a high probability that Gideon will grow into an All-Star.

Reason 2: Comparison. In the summer of 24, Maxi and 76ers completed a five-year, 204 million contract renewal.

Basic data

1. Gidey averaged 14.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists in his career, and 46.4% of the three-event shooting rate;

2. Maxie averaged 19.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists in his career, and 46.1%/38.1%/86.6% of the three-event shooting rate.

High price data

Gidey's personal efficiency value in career is 16.4, victory contribution value 13.9, plus-negative value 1.3, irreplaceable value 6.8;

Max's personal efficiency value in career is 17.8, victory contribution value 26.5, plus-negative value 1.3, irreplaceable value 8.6;

Basic and high-price comparison data, there is a gap in Gidi's Maxi, but the gap will never reach the annual salary of 20 million. My understanding is that Maxi's personal ending is stronger and Gidey is more comprehensive.

If Maxi is worth an annual salary of 40 million, then Gidey must be worth an annual salary of 20 million. In fact, the former is worth it in the eyes of the 76ers management, otherwise Harden would not have been let go last summer.

Reason 3: Team plan. DeRozan and Lavine were sent away one after another, and it was obvious that the Bulls would be in the reconstruction period in the future. Rebuilding, you can train more young players without the pressure of record.

Looking at NBA history, there are cases where it was worth it at the time but later became junk contracts. For example, the Sukkis signed Noah with 72 million in 4 years. It can be said that it is very worthwhile to sign the best defensive player of the past with an annual salary of less than 20 million. However, due to injuries, the team only played 53 times in total and averaged less than 4 points per game. In the end, the team had to cut it.

In contrast, Giddy has no record pressure to train the team, which is one of them. Second, he has no history of injury and is only 23 years old. As a result, the possibility of subsequently becoming a garbage contract is very small.

In summary, individuals are in progress, and are not inferior to teams in the same position, and do not conflict with the team's plans. Gidey is still worth a four-year, big contract of 80 million or even 90 million.
