4 years and $90 million! The Mavericks gave him the biggest contract, but the cost-effectiveness is really not high

This summer, the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick with a very low probability of 1.8%, and selected Cooper Flag, known as the "Son of the United States".

What kind of performance will Flag perform in the new season?

At present, everything is still unknown, but one thing is certain that Kidd will definitely give him enough chance to perform. Potentially, the new No. 1 pick will lock in the Mavericks as the starting lineup position.

As for the Mavericks' starting center, it will basically be Goverd.

1. I just completed the contract renewal this summer. If it doesn't matter, it's a slap in the face;

2, 100% of the 22-23 seasons play centers, 97% of the 23-24 seasons, 95% of the 24-25 seasons, and 42% of the 22-25 seasons. In other words, the Mavericks can satisfy the desire of the Mavericks to return to the fourth position, which is actually what the latter dreams of.

In summary, the Mavericks' outside lines in the new season will be Gafford, Davis and Flag. As for the backcourt, Clay will lock in one starter, and the other is Russell before Irving returns from injury. Speaking of this, it was revealed that Irving returned from injury in November, so there was not much time left for Russell to prove it. What I mean, compared to the starting lineup, the substitute is much worse in terms of opportunity and data persuasion.

To say one more thing, Russell and the Mavericks reached a two-year, $13 million contract and the second-year player option this summer, with the purpose of "gilding" the Mavericks.

Speaking of this, we have to mention PJ Washington.

According to the NBA China official website, PJ Washington is already qualified to renew his contract with the Mavericks on August 30, with a maximum of US$90 million for four years. Subsequently, the two sides officially reached a four-year US$90 million renewal. Obviously, the Mavericks gave PJ Washington the biggest contract extension. However, in my opinion, this renewal is really not cost-effective.

Reason 1: Location. So far in his career, PJ Washington has played 3% of the small forwards, 75% of the power forwards, and 22% of the center. He can play in three positions on the outside, but he can't play in the backcourt. The problem is, as mentioned earlier, "Kannoff" has occupied the Mavericks' starting frontcourt in the new season. As brought by, Washington can only play as a substitute.

Reason 2: Features. So far in his career, PJ Washington has made a total of 4,261 moves, of which two points have a assisted power of 73.6% and three points have a assisted power of 94.3%. In other words, like most forwards like Hachimura, Washington's end is mainly about "eating cakes". The problem is that the team's commanders and tactical starting points are all starting, and there are few substitutes who are relatively reliable and "feeding cakes".带来的，华盛顿进攻效率会有下降。

In summary, "not cost-effective" reflects:

First of all, due to the position, PJ Washington can only play as a substitute in the new season, which reduces the opportunities and ball rights, and the potential is the shrinking of data.

Secondly, PJ Washington is more habitually "eating cakes" to end, while substitutes are relatively short of reliable organizers. Therefore, the data will be further reduced.

Considering that the Mavericks have averaged only 13.7 points per game so far, it is difficult to see whether PJ Washington can score in double digits in the new season. The data has basically shrunk, which is one of them.

In addition, the contract is not big for four years, with a mean salary of US$90 million and an average salary of less than 23 million, but the problem is that the term is long. If you cannot perform convincingly, it will be difficult to trade effectively in the future. Judging from the fact that we can only focus on substitutes at the moment, it is indeed difficult to perform convincingly. It is difficult to trade in the future, this is the second one.

Overall, the low cost performance is that the data is basically reduced, and it is not easy to operate even in subsequent transactions. Here, I wish PJ Washington good luck.
