One Thousand and Ninety-Nine. They Deserve the Maximum Salary!
Sun Ce looked at the Warriors' lineup. Compared with his memory, there were no other changes except that Bogut became Thabeet and Klay Thompson became Harden. Iguodala only joined the Warriors in 2013. It is still unclear whether Iguodala will go to the Warriors.
In Sun Ce's opinion, Curry's playing style will change significantly if he partners with Harden or Klay Thompson.
If he partners with Klay Thompson, Curry will have to devote more energy to organizing the offense, so the Warriors signed Iguodala in 2013 to add an outside ball holder and free up Curry's shooting.
If Curry and Harden partner, the ball possession will be weakened. Harden needs the ball more than Iguodala, but Harden is a passing genius with the talent to win the assist king. Harden, who just came out of the Thunder, especially likes to pass the ball to teammates who are good at catching the pot, and Curry fits the bill.
Moreover, compared to Harden going to the Rockets to fight alone, the Warriors have a super scorer like Curry who averages 25 points per game as a teammate, and the scoring pressure is not that great. Sun Ce saw in the scout report that Harden's defense is not bad. When he was in the Thunder, Harden's defense was still at a good level, unlike later when he became a member of the Uchiha clan in the Rockets.
Sun Ce guessed that the two would have a good chemical reaction. After all, Harden was willing to stay in the Thunder as the sixth man at first, and he didn't have much obsession to be the boss. Curry is the kind of person who would rather give up a game and give Durant the right to shoot and the ball.
But the two seem to cooperate really well, and Sun Ce feels a headache...
Curry may be able to enter the All-Stars this season! Sun Ce remembered that in the original time and space, Curry was selected for the All-Stars in the 13-14 season, but with Harden as his partner, Curry will most likely average 25+ per game this season. In the original time and space, Curry's first average of 25+ per game was in the 15-16 season. If he can average 25 points per game and the team's record is still at the playoff level, he will definitely be in the All-Stars.
And Harden's number of shots did not increase as much as when he went to the Rockets compared to the Thunder. The pressure of scoring was not as great as when he led the team alone. He was more active in rebounding and passing, and it seemed that he was expected to play at the level of 20+7+7.
Sun Ce read the scout report of the opponent's first two games again and felt the pressure, but he was excited to think about meeting such a pair of guards. He could play against these two people tomorrow!
…
On November 4, three game days had passed, and each team had played one or two games. Sun Ce's 61 points in the opening game was still the hottest performance at the beginning, and there were few comparable performances in the entire NBA history.
Today is the day when the Grizzlies play against the Warriors at home, and it has received a lot of attention.
Curry performed very well after his comeback,
Harden finally got the opportunity to show his core-level strength, and the Warriors attracted the attention of many fans.
Especially Harden, he is more talked about in this regard. If he plays well, the media will have the opportunity to guide public opinion to laugh at the Thunder.
No matter how Ellis plays in the Thunder, letting go of a young talent who can play at the All-Star level in the fourth grade, or humiliating him in that way, the Thunder management is very popular on the Internet.
In addition to the performance of the two, the early renewal of the two is being hyped.
Unlike the original time and space, Curry played very recklessly early because of a headband given by a player No. 3 who did not want to be named. Curry, who won the three-point king in his second year and averaged 22 points per game, played so well in the new season even though he only played 20 games last season. Harden has never entered the finals and his value is not that high. The Warriors want to renew the contract quickly and offer both of them a 5-year 70 million contract extension. Harden also received the same offer.
According to the media, Harden is very satisfied with this contract, which is much higher than the annual average of 8 million given by the Thunder, but Curry is not satisfied.
On Sun Ce's side, after the training at noon, he saw the hot topic of Curry and Harden's contract extension on the Internet, and his eyes rolled. Bad water came...
...
In the afternoon, Sun Ce, who ranks second in the number of Twitter fans among NBA players and has more than 17 million fans, updated his Twitter and quickly became popular. Social media and websites of major sports media forwarded Sun Ce's tweets.
"Stephen and James are all-star players. They deserve big contracts. You can't say that they get 70 million too much. I think they should get the maximum salary."
The 09 generation has been attracting attention since Sun Ce and Evans won the best rookie award. Later, Holiday, Griffin, Lawson, and Curry began to shine in their second year. DeRozan, Harden, Darren Collison and others also began to show their talents in their third year.
The success rate of this class of players is unexpectedly high. When Harden and Curry formed a team, they received a lot of attention. The two cooperated well at the beginning of the new season. After the contract extension was exposed, the attention was very high.
Sun Ce sent this tweet, which made the contract extension of the two more popular. In addition, Griffin, Evans, and Holiday, who have not yet completed the contract extension, also became the subject of heated discussion.
In Los Angeles, the new season has begun and the pre-season reinforcements have been completed. Logo Man is on vacation. Suddenly, he saw the news that "Curry and Harden should get the maximum salary". He quickly ended his vacation to see what happened. Obviously, Harden is about to accept the contract extension. Although Curry envies Sun Ce for getting the maximum salary, he has not been selected as an All-Star starter or selected as an All-NBA team. Without such conditions, he may also accept 70 million for 5 years.
So Logo Man can go on vacation with peace of mind, but why did such a topic suddenly pop up?
Asking the secretary to help check the website, Logo Man soon found out the reason.
"Who said that Stephen and James got 70 million too much? When did we say this?" Logo Man was about to explode!
If the two can renew their contracts with a starting salary of about 11 million, then next offseason, the Warriors will still have a salary space of about 14 million. With the current salary cap, it is no problem to spend 14 million on a quasi-maximum salary. At least they can attract high-quality characters such as Qiuyan or first-class stars to join after a good performance this season.
Logo Man is confident in the talents of Curry and Harden, especially Harden, who is beyond imagination! I thought he was a young player with All-Star talent, but who knew that he had All-Star strength just after being traded back. Even Logo Man did not expect this. The talent is really too good, and he has strong self-learning ability.
In terms of contract renewal, they offered the two a 5-year 70 million contract. Not only did no one think the contract was too big, but some people said that the contract was too small, mainly on Curry's side.
Now that Sun Ce said this, it seems that the Warriors think the contract of the two is too big, and they are not human inside and outside!
