The 10 most profitable signings in the offseason: 4 buyout players are on the list, and the Rockets two core players are paying a salary cut to stay in the team
3:24pm, 4 September 2025Basketball
On September 4, today, the US media reported that Simmons may choose to retire. He is only 29 years old and wants to retire now. It is probably enough money. After all, he won 170 million yuan in his first contract extension in his career. As long as it is not over-consumption, the money is enough for him to live his second half of his life. Moreover, even if he signs, it is probably a basic salary contract. Speaking of which, many players have not obtained their favorite contracts this offseason. Next, we will take a look at the 10 most profitable contracts in the offseason.
Doncic
Doncic had not been traded by the Mavericks, he could have won a contract of 300 million. As a result, because of the transaction, he only got a three-year contract of 165 million, with an average salary of 55 million. Although it is not a small amount, compared to those players who signed players with an average salary of 70 million in the league recently, Doncic's contract is too worth it. He has the strength of the top five in the league and has not yet entered its peak period. Logically speaking, he is also worth a contract with an average salary of over 70 million, and the Lakers have made it.
Van Jordan
Van Jordan signed a two-year contract of 50 million yuan with the Rockets. He wanted a contract with an average salary of more than 30 million yuan. There are many teams in the league who are willing to give it, but Van Jordan made sacrifices for the Rockets. He wanted to strive for the championship in the Rockets. After all, the Rockets have Durant, and his arrival has raised the upper limit. In order to help the team, Van Jordan even flew to Türkiye to train with Shin Kyung to help him improve his three-point shooting ability.
Jabbarry Smith
Jabbarry Smith signed a five-year, 125 million contract with the Rockets during the offseason. In terms of his talent and ability, he could have a bigger contract, but Jabbarry Smith also made sacrifices for the Rockets. I have to admire Stone's operating ability. Just imagine, five years later, the league's super maximum salary may reach 80 million. Jabbarry Smith, an outstanding top blue-collar worker, only received more than 20 million, which is the salary of an ordinary blue-collar worker, which is too worth it.
Trent
Trent played the top scorer in the playoffs last year, averaging 18.8 points per game. With a 50% three-point shooting percentage, he averaged 4.4 three-pointers per game. With this kind of shooting ability, he won a contract with an annual salary of over 10 million. Look at Deng Luo, who won a big contract in the offseason, both of them were shooters. He thought Trent would also want a big contract, but as a result, he and the Bucks only signed a two-year contract of 7.5 million. The league did not check if this was a yin-yang contract?
Russell
Russell was still a 18 million contract last year. Judging from his performance in the past few seasons, it is difficult to have such a large contract, but it is still stress-free to have a contract of about 10 million. As a result, he joined the Mavericks with a 2-year, 12 million contract, with an average salary of only 6 million. The Mavericks also made a profit. It is estimated that Russell also came to the starting position. After all, other teams cannot give him the opportunity to start.
Paul
If Paul had not chosen to give up a big contract for his family, he would definitely be able to get a contract worth over 6 million, but Paul chose to sacrifice for his family. He joined the Clippers only for a basic salary and accepted the role of substitute. This is the last season of Paul's career. He hopes to win the championship here. The Clippers' lineup is very outstanding. As long as they stay healthy, they are worth looking forward to.
Smart
Smart is a Lakers who bought out the franchise. The annual salary last season was still more than 10 million yuan. As a result, he joined the Lakers for less than 12 million yuan in two years. After all, the Wizards have shared the pressure on Smart's contract for the Lakers. Under such circumstances, Smart can also accept a lower contract for the Lakers. Smart urgently needs to prove himself. The former DPOY has performed poorly in the past few seasons. He needs to regain his value, which is a good opportunity for the Lakers.
Ayton
Ayton is the same as Smart, and he urgently needs to prove himself. He cannot give him away when the Trail Blazers traded. In this case, the team bought him out. Ayton's contract was originally more than 30 million next season, but after the buyout, the Lakers signed him for 16 million in two years. He is the inside puzzle that the Lakers urgently needed. Ayton's arrival has solved the Lakers' biggest shortcomings. His cooperation with Doncic next season is also worth looking forward to.
Bill
Bill originally had an annual salary of more than 50 million yuan, but because of the Suns' buyout, he joined the Clippers with a two-year contract of 11 million yuan, which also made the Clippers get a bargain. It is true that Bill's current 50 million yuan is a premium, but more than 5 million is too worth it. After all, he is a star-level player, and his playing style can play the greatest role around Harden. Bill gives the Clippers the ability to win the championship.
Lillard
is still a buyout player. Although these buyout players seem to have a premium in the original contract, the price paid by the new owner after buying out and signing the new contract is very cheap. Lillard also had an annual salary of 50 million yuan. After the buyout, the Trail Blazers signed him for 42 million yuan in three years. Although it is likely that they will not be able to come back next season, 42 million yuan in two years is worth it! Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 contracts?
