5 major poison contracts that are difficult to deal with: Bill deal rejects, Zion fails to meet expectations

After entering the offseason, the major teams in the league are also ready to start an arms race. Whether it is the free market or the trading market, it will be very lively at that time, and the changes of various superstars will also change the pattern of the league. However, there are also many teams that have to face difficult to deal with "poison contracts". The team wants to deal with the following five contracts but cannot. Bill has the right to veto the transaction, and Zion did not meet expectations.

Bill

As a former All-Star player, Bill is now not as strong as before. In the second year of the Suns, he has already started playing as a substitute and averaged only 17 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Although his efficiency and defense are not good, Bill has a strong influence on the game. His contract has two years left, and his salary is over $50 million. Bill is a player who can't even give away the first round because he has the right to veto the transaction. George signed a super maximum salary with the 76ers last year for four years, and the contract lasted until he was 38 years old. It is believed that it will not decline in the last two years, but George performed poorly in the first year of the contract. George's data fell to 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists this season, and his efficiency on both offense and defense has declined a lot. Because he is too old, George's contract is destined to be difficult to deal with, and the more he goes, the more difficult it is to trade.

Markkanen

Jazz are a weak team in the league. The team's boss Markkanen scored a peak performance in the 22-23 season, averaging 25.6 points and 8.6 rebounds. He is a power forward with comprehensive scoring skills and a stable three-pointer. However, the team asked Marca too much at that time, and the team then offered him a five-year, $238 million contract. The market in Markkanen was still very good last year, but the Jazz still had high requirements. This season, he averaged only 19+6 per game, which dropped a lot, and his five-year maximum salary has become unattended.

Zai En

Zai En is a talented No. 1 pick, and his talent and skills are definitely first-class. His performance on the court is also remarkable. Even this season, Zion has averaged 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, and maintained a 56% shooting percentage. Zhai An, who plays healthy, is at the All-Star level. But the problem is that his attendance rate is too low. He has played no more than 30 games in 6 seasons in his career, so Tsai has not much market conditions in the trading market.

Potter Jr.

Nuggets are very strong and their team configuration is also very good. They lost to the Thunder in the playoffs seventh. If you want to talk about the only weak ring, it is Porter Little. The Nuggets provided Porter Jr.'s maximum salary contract. This year's playoffs, he averaged only 9 points and 5 rebounds per game, which is definitely unqualified for maximum salary players. The Nuggets also want to improve their strength, but Porter Jr. is ignored.
