5:36am, 19 May 2025【Basketball】
With the Warriors losing to the Timberwolves 110-121, they were eliminated by the Timberwolves 1-4, and the journey to win the championship this season was officially over. The only ones left in the Western Conference semi-finals are now in the Thunder and Nuggets, but many stars have already performed poorly in the playoffs, which is disappointing, especially some stars have paid more than 48 million yuan in salary and dare not take action in the battle of life and death. Seeing the team being eliminated, Butler is the first to be affected. Let’s take a look at the following five poor players, 4 of which are renewed for maximum salary.
Porzingis, with an annual salary of 29.27 million
As the inside of the Celtics champion last season, he averaged 19.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season. As a result, he lost himself directly in the playoffs. His personal performance was a disaster. He did not score goals without scoring, and he became an offensive black hole on the court. The Celtics once fell behind 1-3, which was inseparable from his downturn. In the six semi-finals, none of them scored double-pointers, G6 scored only 1 point, and G2 scored no point, and averaged only 6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 27.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 10%.

Butler, with an annual salary of 48.79 million, since entering the semi-finals, especially after Curry was injured, Butler was almost invisible and did not dare to take action on the offensive end. He was silent in the face of McDan's defense, and even did not dare to play in disarray. His personal performance was even worse than the fourth-grade rookie Kumingga. G4 and G5 have failed for two consecutive games, almost watching the team beating by the Timberwolves and then being eliminated directly. In these two games, he averaged 15.5 points, 6 rebounds and 4.5 assists, shooting 45% from the field and 0% from three-point shooting percentage.
Only one good goal was played in the entire semi-finals, and G3 got 33+7, but he was invisible in the final quarter and was eventually reversed by the Timberwolves. The entire semi-final averaged 16.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 43% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30%. They all have more than 48 million, and their teammates are injured, but Antetokounmpo averages 33+15 per game, but Butler is really not worth the maximum salary.

The third Bain's annual salary is 34 million,
has become an ice shooter since the playoffs. In none of the 4-0 three-point shooting percentage is higher than 30% in 4 games, and none of them scored more than 25+ in a game. The Grizzlies' 4-0 sweep by the Thunder is inseparable from his poor performance. He failed to make a goal and made many mistakes. He averaged only 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 3.8 turnovers per game in four games in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 31.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 21.9%.

4 Porter, with an annual salary of 35.86 million, since entering the playoffs, it has been almost two games in one game, especially since the semi-finals, and his personal performance has been extremely bad, and he has been hiding in the last quarter many times. 0 of 10 three-pointers from the outside was once. In 4 of the six semi-finals, scored no more than 10 points, only one of them scored 20+, the shooting percentage of 4 games was less than 21%, and the three-point shooting percentage of 3 games was only 0%. You should know that he contributed 18+7 in the regular season. As a result, in the playoffs, he currently averaged only 9.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 39.3%, and three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%. Brown, with an annual salary of 49.21 million, since the semi-finals, 4 games in 6 games, with a shooting percentage of less than 39% in 3 games, and none of them scored 30+. This is also the reason why the Celtics are currently behind 2-3 in the score. You should know that Brown is currently the first player in the team's salary, so you can know how bad he is. In the semi-finals, he averaged 21.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3 turnovers per game, with a shooting percentage of only 41.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30%. With the sixth highest salary in the league, his performance was not as good as Murray, who had more than 30 million yuan.
