Recently, the US media published an article listing the eight stars who are still expected to get early contract renewals before the start of the season.
The following are the details:
1. Bradley Beal
In the past season, Bill once again proved his strength as the league’s top scorer. In the regular season, he averaged 31.3 points per game, making him the league’s second-best scorer after Curry. Currently, Bill and the Wizards have 2 years left in the contract. According to the labor agreement, he has the qualification to renew the contract in advance with the Wizards. He can abandon the existing player options and extend the contract period to 5 years. However, Bill does not seem to be in a hurry to accept the maximum salary renewal contract offered by the Wizards. Perhaps, there are other plans in his mind.
2.James Harden
Last season, it was a turning point in Harden’s career. He left the Rockets and turned to the Nets. After joining the Nets, Harden still averaged 24.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 10.8 assists per game, and his output is still superstar. According to the labor agreement, this summer, Harden can renew his contract with the Nets for 3 years (2+3 model) for US$161 million in advance and extend his contract to 5 years. But from the perspective of maximizing benefits, Beard seems to be more willing to wait. To make a decision tomorrow, after all, so far in his career, he has never really tasted the feeling of being recruited as a free agent.
3. Kyrie Irving
Irving is also eligible to renew his contract in advance with the Nets. According to the labor-management agreement, he can sign up to a 4-year new contract of 181.6 million US dollars (1+4 model). But at present, in the Big Three of the Nets, Irving’s signing prospects are the most uncertain. Since he has not been vaccinated so far, whether he can play in the new season is still a question mark, and the Nets executives have also hesitated to retain such a problematic player for a long time.
4. Zach LaVine
In the past three years, with his own efforts, LaVine has become the absolute core of the Bulls. Last season, he averaged 27.4 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game, making him a top scorer in the league. Since the middle of last season, the Bulls have greatly strengthened the lineup. The entry of Ge Ge, DeRozan, Vucevic and others has given the Bulls the strength to impact the playoffs. It stands to reason that the efforts of the management can impress LaVine and let him renew his contract in advance. But until now, he has not done so, but wants to save the opportunity to sign until next summer.
5. DeAndre Ayton
Last season, Ayton’s game ability has been greatly improved, especially in the playoffs, Ayton became the sun’s major contributor to the finals, and in the dialogue with the new Kojokic did not lose the wind at all. Also because of his outstanding performance in the playoffs, Ayton’s ranking on the list of active centers has been rapidly improved. But until now, Ayton has not received the early renewal of the contract from the Sun. Obviously, the two parties have some differences in the price of the renewal.
6. Mikal Bridges
Bridges was another contributor to the Suns reaching the Finals last season. In the regular season, he played 72 games and averaged 13.5 points, 2.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1 steal per game. In the playoffs, Ohashi’s performance was also quite stable. In the eyes of many experts, he has been regarded as one of the most potential 3D strikers in active service. It stands to reason that Daqiao has the qualifications for early renewal. However, Sun seems to be still considering the price and duration of the new contract.
7. Colin Sexton
Last season, the 22-year-old Sexton was still making rapid progress. In the third year of his career, he averaged 24.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. He already has the level of an elite backcourt scorer. Although, in the eyes of some connoisseurs, Sexton’s style is somewhat “independent”, and the ability to drive teammates is not enough. However, the Cavaliers still value this teenager. According to rumors, the two sides are currently negotiating on a contract renewal and are expected to reach an agreement.
8. Jalen Jackson Jr.
Last season, because of injuries, Jackson missed most of the regular season. In the latter part of the season, he returned from injury. Although he only played 11 games, his output of 14.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game was quite impressive. As one of the leading stars in the 2018 class, JJJ’s talent is undoubtedly, famous also revealed that the Grizzlies are planning to renew his contract. Preliminary speculation is that JJJ may get a contract worth about 100 million US dollars, but the length of the contract seems to be questionable. (Poirot)Return to Sohu to see more
