Reject the basic salary! The top scorer cannot see the situation clearly. Look at Russello s smartness, and the Mavericks are also very happy to sign

4 years of 107 million, who would have thought that the Bucks would get Miles Turner at such a low price? The Bucks can achieve two goals:
First, successfully poaching the walkers, achieving one's rise and the other's decline.
Second, it can be said that it perfectly fills the gap left by Big Lopez. To be precise, Daluo and Turner both have good "3B" characteristics - three-pointers and blocks. In the 24-25 season, Daluo 139 three-pointers and 148 blocks; Turner 156 three-pointers and 144 blocks. Similar features, almost seamless compatibility.
Of course, after the NBA free agent market opened, there are many unexpected things.
According to the NBA China official website, Ben Simmons does not intend to accept basic salary and is paying attention to teams with special cases. In short, the 16-year No. 1 pick will not accept a basic salary.
Playing for the Nets and Clippers in the 24-25 season, a total of 1,120 minutes, Simmons scored 256 points, 241 rebounds and 285 assists. The internal line per unit time is still very comprehensive - the assist rate of 37.0% is better than 78% of players, and the rebound rate of 12.2% is better than 66% of players.
In other words, it is still very "favorable" if you are willing to accept the basic salary. Taking the Los Angeles Lakers as an example, they can become the tactical initiator + rebounder + wing leader defender. Of course, if you are willing to get a basic salary, Pelinka is willing to sign. After all, Simmons is likely to be able to take on the role of Rondo in 2020.
But the problem is that Simmons does not accept basic salary, which in my opinion can't see clearly the alliance form.
Reason 1: Strong team. Teams such as the Thunder, the Knicks, and the Cavaliers won't say that there are no special cases such as the Mini Middle-class, and even if they do, they won't be used on Simmons. It is very important that what a team wants to win the championship is stability. Since Simmons wants a contract with a special case, he will definitely not be willing to be a role player, which will invisibly destroy the team's existing chemistry.
More importantly, if Simmons still did as usual, either put on a suit due to injury or other factors and stopped playing, he would not have tried it.
Reason 2: Fish belly. The Hornets have Lamelo Ball and the Bulls have Gidey. It can be said that almost every bottom team has young players suppressed it. Why should we take over Simmons, who has "destructive power" under the pressure of no record?
Reason 3: Alliance trend. Unlike previous years, this year only one team has sufficient salary space, which has led to a very deserted free agent market this summer. In contrast, Lillard has appeared in the buyout market, and Bill and Vucevic are basically appearing.
Not to mention the combat effectiveness, at least Lillard and others are not as "making trouble" as Simmons. For teams such as Lakers, Nuggets, and Warriors, the preference is definitely Lillard and others. To put it bluntly, the pursuit of stability is.
To sum up three points, the frequent appearance of big fish in the buyout market, coupled with Simmons' own problems, the strong and weak teams have no demand for them, especially if they don't want to get a basic salary.
Speaking of this, we should not mention Russell, who is similar to Simmons, is very smart - asking for a two-year, 13 million contract that is far lower than his value. The Mavericks signed the contract very happily.
Of course, because of Irving's injury, Russell will have a chance of stabilization at least in the first few months of next season. If you grasp it, there is still a possibility of getting a big contract in the future.
