Annual salary of 54.7 million, the team s salary is only 140 million! There is actually an answer about Durant s next home

The NBA has played until June this year, and it is indeed becoming more and more lively. The finals are ugly, and the league is obviously intended, and it is directly dragged into a soap opera. In the tiebreak battle, the league and the Thunder are in a subtle situation. The Thunder wins the championship and cannot win respect; if the league requires fairness, it may really allow the "villain" Pacers to successfully reach the top, and any harsh pretext made before will become a laughing stock. In the trading market, the drama of Durant's trading has become more and more interesting as the draft approaches. First, Durant has only five potential teams: the Raptors, Timberwolves, Spurs, Heat and Rockets. The first two of them are serious about pursuing, but Durant doesn't want to go. Durant wants to go the last three teams, but these three teams are unwilling to satisfy the Suns.

But it is obvious that the first four teams are all used to make up numbers and improve Durant's trading market, because the Suns are eager to get their first round picks from the Rockets (the No. 10 pick + 27 and 29 first rounds this year). Based on the transaction deadline, after more than four months of pulling, the Rockets clearly stated that they were unwilling to take out the first rounds of 27 and 29 years. Everyone knows how valuable the Suns' first round pick was at that time. According to column reporter Singer, the Rockets are willing to offer Jaylen Green + No. 10 sign Durant, while the Suns don't want Jaylen Green, but they also want Brooks + Jay (or Ethan) + No. 10 sign. Both sides are dead here, and no one is willing to give in. What should I do?

First of all, the sun can only break the can and is not afraid of wearing shoes with barefoot. Including the five first-round picks that Bridges helped the Nets exchange, plus Johnson's trading market, the Suns were wasting 10 first-round picks in order to get Durant. Can't I just want one more Ethan or Xiao Jia? But Durant will be 37 years old in the offseason, and he has entered the end of his career. He is only suitable to be a mercenary who has played for a new team for 1-2 years, rather than being the boss! It seems that Durant is indeed not worth the Rockets to take out more chips for him, but the Rockets also have their own hidden worries, but they have been ignored by the outside world! First of all, Durant's salary next season is $54.7 million. When he goes to his new boss, he can sign a maximum salary of 110 million in two years, similar to Butler.

But the Rockets have to do multiple-choice questions this summer! Let's first assume that if the Rockets don't have Durant, what can they do in the future? If Jabbarry Smith gets enough power to take action next season and Ethan overcomes the trouble of injury, his offensive efficiency will improve. Both of them will face the issue of renewal by the summer of 26. Xiao Jia's market market is at least about 35 million. Ethan is to the lowest level, 30 million is not high. In addition to the contract between Green and Shen Jing, Van Jordan assumes renewal with an average salary of 30 million, and Adams' three-year, 39 million contract is expected to reach 230 million by the 26-27 season! You should know that the Rockets will renew Adams next season, and Van Jordan's salary has been reduced (from about 45 million to about 30 million), and it will only be $140 million.

Of course, this does not include Jeff Green, Tate and others' contracts expire and face renewal. The Rockets will not have any salary pressure next season. But in the next year, they could not bear so many young people's salary increases! For example, according to Amen’s growth trajectory, this season’s average of 14+8+4 per game, and 16+7+3 per game in the playoffs. If you reach the level of 20+7+5 next season, you may have to lock in a super maximum salary in advance in the future! That means that the Rockets' salary will be out of the blue three years later. This is not the case that the younger Whitmore, Shepard and others are also growing up and will definitely surpass the second rich line! What if Durant is exchanged? If Durant plays with the Rockets for up to two years, he will not conflict with Amen's maximum salary, nor will he conflict with Van Jordan's big contract.

The most important thing is that once the Rockets continue to give young people a chance next season, such as continuing to believe in Jaylen Green, what if his trading market plummets? What if Xiao Jia can’t practice it? If the Rockets remain under the luxury tax line and hope to build a team for a long time, they must make subtractions among the seven talented people. Even if Durant is not worth it, they have to consider the future salary pressure and start cleaning up young people! Of course, Jaylen Green is the one who should be sent away the most. He has been standing still for four years, but the Sun also understands it very well and refuses it! Then Jabbarry Smith or Ethan can only choose one of them. If the Suns are really in a hurry, Shepard or Whitmore is not unavailable to trade.

In short, this transaction must be made. Durant is not only the only candidate to increase the Rockets' cap next season (Antetokounmpo may not leave in the offseason), but the key is that he is the key to reducing the Rockets' salary pressure. The Rockets have risen rapidly in the past two years. Young people are very talented, but the most helpless thing is that they have not found the team leader. Jaylen Green squanders too much trust, becomes Adou who cannot be helped in the playoffs, and Shin Kyung is also becoming softer and weaker. As for Jabbarry Smith, if the Rockets play well next season, the Rockets are under great pressure to renew their contracts. If they don’t play well, they should leave. Renewing contracts at low prices is also a waste of time. Although the Rockets and the Suns are still in a stalemate, there is no suspense about Durant's next home.
