Average of 24+3+3! The Nets only give an annual salary of 14.1 million, and the Train is facing a difficult choice

8:18pm, 8 August 2025【Basketball】

NBA teams are surprisingly cautious during this offseason. Apart from giving superstars a maximum salary, role players cannot get too big contracts. Especially for players with single functions, among which pure point guards depreciate the fastest. Only Booker renewed his contract with the Sun for 145 million in advance for 2 years and maintained his last bit of dignity. The other guards were wiped out. Fortunately, Jaylen Green renewed his contract with the Rockets in advance last season and received an annual salary of 30 million yuan. If he switched to the market this year, he might only have to take the middle class exception.

It is obvious that the Nets' guard Thomas and the 76ers guard Grimes, the Rockets fans most want, are now giving the middle class an annual salary of 14.1 million yuan. According to Jake Fischer, the Nets' contract to Thomas is an average salary of 14.1 million, and the term is only 2 years, and the second year is the player option. This means that the Nets don’t even have the intention to give the train a contract. Maybe only Gidi and Kuming can get an annual salary of more than 20 million yuan.

Kuminga is a forward line, and Gidy holds the ball and has a big core, but he can't shoot from the outside. In the past, wouldn’t Kumingjia just get an annual salary of 30 million yuan in a weak team? The same is true for Giddy, but times have really changed. Any player who brushes data on weak teams will not be able to calculate the data of each NBA team. Last season, the Train averaged 24 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game at the Nets last season, with a shooting percentage of 44% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35%. The small train is 1.96 meters tall and has a standard size for the guard, but his figure is only 14 million yuan in annual salary. Some people say that the small train has a poor defense, so they can't get a big contract. So what about Grimes? He is considered to be a combination of offense and defense, right? Last season, Grimes played for the Mavericks and the 76ers respectively. The Mavericks averaged 10.2 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 46% + 3-pointers and 40%. In 28 games, Grimes averaged 21 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 47%, and 37% of three-pointers.

Grimes, who is in the 76ers, is an All-Star with an offense and defense. He is 1.93 meters tall. He served as the outside leader when he was in the Knicks, and has terrifying defensive oppression. On the offensive end, Grimes' skills are much more delicate than Jaylen Green. He not only has the ability to kill with the ball, but also has extraordinary control and transportation, but his shooting without the ball is also quite accurate. In a game against the Rockets this year, Dillon, Amen and Ethan were facing the Rockets' three major iron gates.

Grimes made 15 of 27 shots in the game, scoring 46 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. And such a player is unwilling to give him an annual salary of 20 million yuan, and he is still only given an annual salary of 14.1 million yuan. Grimes asked the 76ers for an annual salary of 30 million this year. Thomas, who can only score points, and Grimes, who is both offense and defense, the contract renewal offered by their parent team is indeed explaining the changes in the league teams. Maybe it's a good thing for the Rockets to send Jaylen Green away.

It is obvious that Jaylen Green's four-year rookie bonus has been eaten up. Then the new contract of $106 million for three years will take effect next season. The Rockets now throw the problem to the Suns and take Durant by themselves. Stone's most perfect operation this year with Green as a meat ticket. Because the advanced data of the core teams last season showed that Durant was the first in the offensive league and Jaylen Green ranked last in the league. And the treatment of Little Train and Grimes this year also proves how lucky Stone is to be in exchange for Durant.
