Although the Knicks starting lineup is expensive, they are really good steel for the blade

On August 1, the NBA team Knicks threw out another big contract, and Bridges renewed the contract. It has to be said that the Knicks are rich and powerful. The salary of the five starters is completely lost. However, the cost-effectiveness of the five starters of the Knicks is very high. Compared with the Knicks, the Lakers have spent a lot of money in vain, while the Warriors have spent a lot of retirement money. The Rockets have the cheapest starting lineup.

According to shams, the Knicks completed a contract renewal with Bridges today. The Knicks gave a four-year, $150 million contract with an average annual salary of 37.5 million. This money can be said to be worth the money. Bridges averaged 17+3+3 per game in the Knicks last season. Although the data is not too impressive, in the current NBA, as long as you have defense, the salary and benefits are not bad. So Bridges has at least 15 million of these 30 million, which is the defensive money. After the Knicks renewed their contract with Bridges, it can be seen that next season, they will have to rely on five starters, but overall, the team's strengthening this year is very ideal. The team has introduced Clarkson and Yabussele, and there are two more players who can play. This is very incredible for the Knicks, so next season, they will still be strong contenders for the championship.

Then, the Knicks' starting lineup can be said to be the most expensive. What is the overall salary level of the starting lineup of other teams?

Knicks, the starting salary is directly over the cap

Look at the Knicks' salary composition, Towns is 53.14 million, Anunoby is 39.57 million, Brunson is 34.94 million, Bridges is 24.9 million, and Hart is 19.47 million. The five starters, the total total is 170 million US dollars, and the salary cap is only 154 million. It can be seen that the Knicks' starting salary is directly over the salary cap. It has to be said that the Knicks are really rich.

Overall, although the Knicks' starting lineup is very expensive, they are really good steel for the blade. The team's money is basically given to 5 starters. Among the substitutes, only Robinson has an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan. In general, the money spent by the Knicks is used on ideas.

Lakers, spent a lot of money in vain

Let's take a look at the Lakers' situation. James' salary this year is 52.63 million, Dongqi is 46 million, Hachimura is 18.26, Wanlivers is 13.94 million, and Ayton is 8 million, which totals 138 million.

It can be seen that the Lakers' starting lineup is already quite cheap. In this era of 60 million and 70 million annual salary, the Lakers' starting lineup is only about 130 million, but the Lakers' substitutes have many annual salary of tens of millions, including Vanderbilt, Vincent, and Kleber, who basically don't work. Therefore, although the Lakers have spent a lot of money, they have spent a lot of money in vain.

Warriors, spend a lot of pension money on the Warriors, Curry's annual salary is 59.61 million, Butler's 54.13 million, Green's 25.89 million, Moody's 11.57 million, Hilder's 9.22 million, and 5 starters, totaling 160 million US dollars.

It can be seen that the five Warriors starters are also very expensive, only a little worse than the Knicks, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, they are still not as high as the Knicks. The main problem of the team is that Curry and Butler's salary is too high. Of course, for Curry, it is understandable. After all, in the early days, Curry's contract was too cheap and he took a lot of advantage.

Rockets, the most cost-effective starter, Durant is 54.71 million, Shen Jing is 33.94 million, VanVleet is 25 million, Amen is 9.69 million, and Smith is 12.35 million, which is a total of 136 million. The overall salary of the 5 starting players of the Rockets is not high, but not too low, which is quite ideal. Except for Durant's salary of more than 50 million, the other players are more than 10 million and more than 20 million, which is very high-quality overall. But seeing that Shebbode's salary is 10.6 million, which is higher than Amen's, I have to say that the salary increase is really big now.

Comprehensive comparison, the Knicks' starting lineup can be said to be the most expensive in the NBA at present, but there are reasons for it to be expensive. Everyone is qualified in terms of attendance and contribution to the team.

In contrast, the Lakers spent a lot of money in vain, with the overall starting lineup of only a few hundred million. In the NBA, they are also considered to be around the mid-range, but they spent a lot of money on substitutes. The key problem is that substitutes are not good at all.

The only one who really does a very good job is the Rockets. Their starting lineup is not too expensive and the substitutes are not too cheap. However, both the starting lineup and the substitutes are very balanced and there are no big problems. This is the real terrible thing about the Rockets.
