At the beginning, I thought it was a treasure, but now I have lost 5 players: George s 220 million yuan in 4 years made the 76ers depressed

On August 31, the European Championship is in full swing, so the NBA is paying less attention now. However, as a blogger who mainly writes about the NBA, we still have to continue talking about the NBA. In this offseason, everyone should have discovered that many players have not obtained the contract they want. This is because of the new version of the labor-management agreement. Everyone is afraid of giving a big contract to lose their hands. Speaking of this, let’s take a look at the five players who thought it was a treasure but now they have lost their hands.

George

George joined the 76ers in a four-year and 220 million contract last year. At that time, the 76ers were considered the most successful team to sign in the offseason because they signed the most offseason player, but the result was not satisfactory. After joining the team, George was not in good shape, and he only played 41 games due to injury. In this case, the 76ers were also very depressed. They rumored that they wanted to trade George last season.

But George has not been sent away so far during the offseason. It’s not that the 76ers don’t want to send him away. The current situation is that the 76ers can’t send him away at all. He is already 35 years old and has a three-year maximum salary contract. Considering his attendance rate and his performance in the past few years, George is now a premium contract. Whoever takes it will be unlucky. If the 76ers want to send him away, he probably has to give him a potential player and a first-round pick, but there are probably few teams who are interested.

Middleton

Middleton has a bad performance in the past few seasons, and the Bucks also had the idea of ​​giving up this core. In order to reduce the team's expenses, Middleton gave up his salary and chose to stay at the team with a large contract of more than 40 million, but was abandoned. The Wizards also wanted him very much. After all, a veteran can lead young players, but the effect was not ideal. The Wizards originally thought of using him as a trade matching contract in the offseason, but they failed to send it away.

Middleton averaged 12 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game last season. Because of his serious injury, his speed was no longer good, and the defensive end became a burden, but he still had a contract of 33 million yuan. Although he still started after joining the Wizards, he was also a fake starter. Now many teams would rather buy out junk contracts than trade. After all, the exchange is likely to be junk contracts, so such a balanced contract seems to be worthless.

Kuzma

Kuzma and Middleton lost both. Kuzma was so powerful in the Wizards' era, averaging 20+ per game, which was completely the top striker's data. The Wizards also gave him a contract of hundreds of millions. It was because the Bucks saw his ability and had experience in winning the championship that they got him. As a result, the team regretted it after returning to Kuzma. His data was made by the Wizards, and his tough battle ability was very limited.

After joining the Wizards, his performance was very eye-catching. He was expected to help Antetokounmpo after Lillard was injured in the playoffs. As a result, he averaged 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage was only 34%. The Bucks probably had the idea of ​​wanting to trade Kuzma, but he still had two years and more than 40 million contracts, so it was difficult to lose his hands. The Bucks can only hope that he can perform better in the new season.

Rozier

Rozier's experience is the same as Kuzma at the time. Rozier averaged 20+ per game during the Hornets, and his performance was a star-level backcourt. When the Heat saw that his scoring ability was OK, they used Lowry as a bargaining chip and draft pick to exchange for Rozier. As a result, the Heat suffered a loss in this deal. After Rozier joined, his true colors were revealed. In the past, he had absolute ball rights, and his opponent would not defend him too seriously even if he could win. He could easily score points.

But now it is different. The Heat have the ability to win and have reached the division finals. Anyone who encounters such a strong team will try their best. As a result, Rozier was locked up. Last season, he averaged only 10 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 39%, and his performance was quite eye-catching. The key is that he still has a contract of 26.64 million per year. During the offseason, the Heat added him to many transactions, but none of them succeeded. Who wants a garbage contract!

Vucevic

Vucevic still has trading value, but because the Bulls want multiple second-round picks, this has led to the fact that the War God cannot be sent away for trading. They have put the War God on the shelves for two consecutive seasons, but the effect is not ideal and have not been sent away so far. The War God signed a three-year, 60 million contract with the Bulls. To be honest, it is not expensive, and it is only 21.48 million next season. Why can't he sell it in such a situation?

Last season, the God of Martial Arts was still 18+10 per game, which led to the God of Martial Arts being unable to send him away. On the one hand, although he has excellent offensive ability, he is not good at defense and will be targeted. The small one cannot defend, and the big center cannot defend, which is not a suitable playoff puzzle. On the other hand, everyone knows that the Bulls want to shake his hands, so they deliberately lowered the quotation and could not send him away. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 5 players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
