Su Qun: Yang Hansen has only two years in the NBA and must prove himself& before signing a contract

Hupu reported on October 20 that basketball commentator Su Qun wrote an article that talked about the issue of NBA player contract renewal. Part of the original text is as follows:

According to regulations, 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning is the deadline for early renewal of contracts for 2022 first-round and 2023 second-round players. Benqueiro, Jaylen Williams, and Holmgren have already renewed their contracts in advance, and Sharp is the first to renew his non-maximum contract. In other words, from the first round of the 2022 class to today, only 7 people have renewed their contracts in advance.

In previous years, at least six or seven to as many as ten first-rounders were guaranteed in the third grade by this time. If there are only so many this year, it is too few. The reason is that the luxury tax line is too scary. Let’s see how many there will be tomorrow.

No matter whether the first-round rookie plays well or not in the first two years, his contract is guaranteed. After two years, the team decides whether to continue for the third year. After the third year, it decides whether to extend the contract for the fourth year, or renew the contract in advance before the beginning of the fourth year. The standard is 4 years, and the super maximum salary and designated rookie are both 5 years. In this way, there are 6 levels of early contract renewal for rookies:

The first level is designated rookies, whose annual salary can reach 30% of the salary cap, but the condition is that they must win the MVP, the best defensive player, or make the NBA All-NBA team. For example, Mobley was the best defensive player that year and signed the largest designated rookie contract. This year, Benqueiro and Jay Wei, who were renewed in advance, have an average annual salary of more than 48 million.

The second level of super maximum salary is given to promising young people, and the annual salary scale is 25% of the salary cap. Holmgren is that type this year.

The third level is close to the top. For example, Shen Jing’s five-year average is 37 million, and Suggs’s average is 30 million.

The fourth level is a large contract, with a salary scale between 20 and 30 million US dollars. For example, Sharp earns 90 million in 4 years, and the average is 22.5 million.

The fifth tier is a medium-sized contract, which is about the size of the total non-tax assets, with an annual average of more than 14 million. The Warriors Moody's three-year contract is between 37.5 and 39 million, which falls into this category. Of course, this kind of contract will have certain bonus incentives.

The sixth level is a small contract. For example, Pritchard signed a four-year 30 million contract with the Celtics in 2023, with an average of 7.5 million. They knew that they had little hope of getting a big contract, so they might as well settle in advance.

The other Kamara the Trail Blazers need is a player in the latter part of the second round, but he entered the best defensive second team with his excellent defense, and the Trail Blazers secured him in advance. Second-round players are much more difficult than first-round players. Their contracts are 1+1 and there is no guarantee in the second year.

So, although we say that we should give Yang Hansen time to grow slowly, in fact, time waits for no one. You must take one step at a time and follow the rhythm of the NBA contract system.

In fact, Yang Hansen only has two years. He must prove himself and let the Blazers give him a third-year contract and then strive for a fourth-year contract.

The best thing is to renew the contract in advance after the third year, like Sharp. That's this time in 2028.
