Players who reject big contracts but accept basic salary: 40 million yuan in the test god turned into 5.3 million yuan, Oladipo is on the list

NBA players basically have their own agents, and they will help the players themselves gain greater benefits, but they also need to pay attention to the right time, place, and people. In history, many stars have given up some relatively large contracts for teams when they want to get higher salaries, but afterwards, they can only accept basic salaries for various reasons. Let's take a look together.

Cousins

Cousins ​​averaged 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks per game in the 17-18 season. He can be regarded as the league's number one center. The Pelicans also provided him with a 2-year, 40 million contract, but he refused to ask for a maximum salary. However, he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in January 2018 and then joined the Warriors with a 1-year, 5.3 million contract in the offseason.

Schroder

Xiao Hei has signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Kings, and it is getting better and better. However, when he was playing for the Lakers, there were rumors that he had rejected the four-year, $80 million contract provided to him by the Lakers in 2021, but turned around and signed a one-year, $9.5 million contract with the Celtics. Although he was later refuted, Schroder did not clarify it in time when the rumors were leaked.

Oladipo

Oladipo was also a highlight moment in the Pacers. At that time, he was the core of the team. In the 17-18 season, he averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game. He was selected for the third team and first defense. The Pacers provided him with a four-year contract of 80 million, but was rejected. He then suffered a torn tendon on his right knee, and his condition declined sharply. He then signed with the Rockets for two years and $45.2 million, and got $2.4 million in one year at the Heat. In the offseason of 2003, Garnett introduced the Madman Spreeville and Kassel, the Madman Spreeville and Kassel. The Madman performed well this season. Although he was 33 years old, he averaged 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The average average of 20+4+4 in the playoffs, and the Timberwolves also provided a three-year, 21 million contract extension, but he refused and said wildly why he helped them win the championship, and then it turned out to be out of the ball.

Noel

Whenever Noel is mentioned, fans will not forget 70 million. In the 2016-17 season, Noel averaged 8.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.3 blocks per game with the Mavericks, with a shooting percentage of 60%. Therefore, the management provided a 4-year offer of 70 million yuan, but was firmly rejected and believed that he was worth a contract worth hundreds of millions. So he first signed a contract with the Mavericks for one year, 4.1 million yuan, looking for opportunities in the next offseason, but he almost couldn't even hit the ball afterwards!

Bunch Wells

played for the Trail Blazers, and then played for the Kings in 2005-06, averaging 13.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The team provided a five-year, $38.5 million contract renewal. The agent at the time rejected the contract and joined the Rockets for $2.1 million in the following season, and then joined the Pelicans for $2.3 million.

Shabaz Mohamed

In 2016, the Timberwolves provided Mohamed with a offer of at least 4 years and 40 million US dollars, but was quickly rejected, turning the former into a free agent. After a large contract in free market demand failed, he signed a two-year, $3.38 million contract with the Timberwolves two months later. After another half year, he reached a buyout with the Timberwolves and joined the Bucks.

John Amic

Amic in 2000 averaged 10.5 copies per game after the Magic finished his first season. After becoming a free agent, he received a 6-year, 17 million contract from the Lakers, but was rejected and instead renewed a one-year contract with the Magic. He believed that the Magic needed him more than the Lakers. After that, his career lasted for another 4 years, and he only earned $9 million in total.
