US media inventory of six major junk contracts during the offseason: 76ers have double-core on the list, Bill ranked first with 110 million in two years

With the development of the NBA, players' income begins to rise with the changes in the team, and the team will also give meritorious players a generous return, but large contracts are also a double-edged sword. Some players start to get more injuries as they get older, or they start to get rid of big contracts. The increasing contracts year by year will become a shackle for the team to become better. The US media also selected the six major junk contracts in the offseason, with extremely low transaction value. Let’s see who is on the list.

1. Bradley Bill, the Suns

Wizards gave Bill the trade veto, but fortunately, the Suns have taken over this hot potato. Bill is still quite stable on the offensive end, but his defensive efficiency and attendance are no longer in line with the maximum salary contract. His salary next season is as high as 53.7 million US dollars, and the contract is still 110.8 million. The Suns have to change the team's strategy this offseason. Durant can't keep it. He still has to get his own approval to trade Bill unless he buys out his contract, but the money is too big.

2. Paul George, the 76ers expect George to help Embiid help the team to get the team further, but in the past season, his performance has not reached the level matched by the contract. The 76ers can only comfort themselves with injuries. They only played 41 games, averaged 16.2 points per game, earned as high as $51.7 million next season, and had three years and $162.4 million remaining contracts. If they attend more than 70 games next season, this contract may not be that premium.

3. Jamal Murray, the Nuggets'

Murray's evaluation is mixed. After winning the championship, the Nuggets provided a generous contract extension. His performance at that time was indeed worth it, but many people also believe that it was because they played around Jokic, and other teammates might not be able to perform like this. The salary next season is 46.4 million US dollars. If the Nuggets don’t win the championship this season, the investment in Murray Porter Jr. and Gordon will not make them at the championship level. Now the depth of the lineup has exposed a big problem.

4. Joel Embiid, the 76ers

Embiid won the MVP in the 22-23 season and was still a popular candidate for the MVP before being injured. Embiid missed due to illness in the first two seasons of his career, and played an average of 41 games in 11 seasons. The 76ers can only hope to recover after the operation. If the medical retires, the 76ers will be cheated of the 76ers. The salary next season is 55.2 million US dollars, and there is still a four-year remaining contract of 248.1 million yuan. There is great uncertainty, so Embiid is also the most difficult player to be traded out.

5. Jerami Grant, the Trail Blazers

Grant may be the smallest star in this list. He has never been selected into the All-Star lineup, but during his time playing for the Pistons and the Trail Blazers, he averaged 20+ per game. The Trail Blazers also gave him a big contract, even though the contract renewal was far beyond the reasonable range at that time. With a salary of $32 million next season and $102.6 million in the next three years, Grant's performance has also declined, and his average score has also ranged from 21 points to 14.4 points this season. Perhaps only when the contract is about to expire will other teams be attracted to take over.

6. Laurie Markanen, the Jazz

Markanen reached the peak of his career in the 22-23 season, averaging 25.6 points per game to select the All-Stars, won the NBA Fastest Progress Player Award, leading the Jazz to achieve unexpected results. But the Jazz began to choose to rebuild and focus more on cultivating young players. Marca also had a big contract and averaged points per game began to decline. Her salary next season was 46.4 million, and her condition began to decline. But he was only 28 years old, with a remaining 4 years of contract of 195.6 million. What will happen when he was 32 years old?
