250 million max salary in 5 years, we don’t want you anymore! The embarrassing NBA star, maybe it’s time to consider retiring

This season, the NBA playoffs are in the finals stage, getting closer and closer to the offseason, leaving only the Thunder and the Pacers to compete for the championship. Judging from the G1 game, even if the Pacers make 24 mistakes in the game, they can still complete a big reversal; the Thunder fell into a vicious cycle: there is no space to go to the double towers, and the rhythm cannot catch up with the Pacers; if it doesn't go to the double towers, the team has no stable scoring points and offensive starting methods except Alexander. Pacers use the strategy of being a soldier for the whole nation and are getting closer to the championship, which also proves that many giants have become a thing of the past. Several popular teams that have been eliminated this year are the best examples. Last season's championship Celtics fell sharply + Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured, and it is inevitable that they will be rebuilt; the Lakers rely on Doncic + James + Reeves, and were eliminated in the first round!

But the most typical example is the 76ers and the Suns. The 76ers went from building the three giants Maxi + Embiid and George to winning the championship last season to playing badly in the late regular season and finally got the Tienhua sign. George's contract and age are getting older, and it will only become a burden in the future. Embiid is troubled by injuries and it is not certain whether he can play next season. The 76ers' championship window has been closed before it even opened. As for the Suns, the three giants of Durant + Booker + Bill were able to make the playoffs last season. Although they were swept 4-0 by the Timberwolves in the first round, they did not even have the qualification to playoffs this season! In the words of team reporter Gabadro, the Suns are expected to reach a deal for Durant before the draft. They want to take back their first round picks, and Durant's departure is a foregone conclusion.

But there is a star that is ignored. To be precise, Durant is his victim, and he is Bill. Bill reached a five-year, 252 million super maximum salary renewal with the Wizards in the summer of 222. This contract does not count this season, and there are two more seasons, with salary of 53.67 million + 57.13 million US dollars respectively. Bill played 53 games this season, averaging 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. The On-Off value is -8.7, the Suns are the last in the Suns! From starting to substitute, to watching from injury on the wall, Bill became an outsider for the Suns. Just three months ago, Bill was interviewed by famous reporter McMahon. He emphasized three points. First, the Wizards gave me a maximum salary to prove that I was the best player and I just want to win; second, anything can be discussed this summer; third, I have the right to veto the transaction, and no one can deny it.

Bill's attitude is very direct. I can leave myself without you rushing me, but it is not me who made the mistake. Three months later, the team reporter Gabadro confirmed that the Suns made it clear that they did not want Bill to return to the team next season! But because the Bill contract includes non-trade clauses, the Sun is difficult to deal with. To be precise, the Suns either find Bill the next home that can make him nod and agree, such as Los Angeles or Miami, and have certain competitiveness; or they enforce the buyout clause, and the remaining 110 million salary will be paid in five years, greatly reducing salary pressure. But there is another problem: if Bill refuses to buy out the agreement, the Suns have only one last way: they are forced to keep Bill!

Before the trading deadline of this season, the Suns exchanged three first-round picks for 31 years without protection (because they all brought the Cavaliers, it was equivalent to the second-round pick level at the end of the first round). At that time, in the words of salary expert Bobby Max, the Suns could not send Bill away with just three second-round pick-level chips! Including the Heat's voluntarily rejecting Bill, other teams in the league avoided it. Even though the Suns don't want Bill, they have no other options. The ideal situation for the Suns is to buy out Bill and pay in five years, so that they can free up 27 million space offline with the No. 1 rich man, and there is no need to force Durant away. But Bill has declined too quickly with the Suns in the past two years, averaging 18 points and 4 assists per game, which looks OK.

However, he missed 30 games per season, and played and stopped and had an irreplaceable value that was already at the bottom of the team. The salary will be tenth in the league next season, higher than Booker, James, Mitchell and others! The defense has made no contribution. He is 32 years old this summer, has suffered from injuries and his efficiency is declining. Who will still have a burden of 50 million yuan in annual salary? According to US media analysis, if Bill breaks up and breaks with the Suns, he will stay with the team and gets the remaining 110 million yuan salary. The Suns will only be bad in the next two years. There is no qualification to strengthen the company after sending Durant away, and the team's signing will only be the basic salary! If you want to send Durant away, Durant's own will is important, which means the Suns get very low returns!

To be honest, Bill has won the All-Star for 11 years in the Wizards, and has averaged 30+ per game in two seasons, and has also received a super maximum salary. But after all, it is just a data brush for a weak team and does not have the ability to be the boss or even the second in a competitive team. After the end of this big contract, Bill's age and physical condition are not needed at all, and the weak teams do not need it. If you want to stay in the league, you may only have a basic salary, which will decline sharply like Westbrook. But to be honest, his desire to win is far less than Westbrook, and he is about the same as Ben Simmons. Bill is in a very awkward situation, and it is time to consider retiring and don’t torture himself.
