Spend 820 million to build the most expensive starter in NBA history! If you don t win the championship, you should rebuild it

The new NBA season finally started, and the first preseason game began, with the Knicks defeating the 76ers 99-84. Among them, Maxi scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, while the new student Edgecom scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. On the Knicks' side, Towns scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, and Bridges scored 10 points. Speaking of the Knicks, their rankings in the new season cannot be underestimated. This offseason, the Knicks have performed many operations and become one of the potential biggest winners in the offseason. First, they fired former coach Thibodeau and Michael Brown became the new coach. Everyone knows that the abuse of the tactics of the bull and horses directly increases the average playing time of the starting players, ignoring the players' feelings at all. Although the Knicks do have many iron men, they still cannot withstand the tossing of the Thibodeau. With the playing style of Thibodeau, the upper limit of the playoffs is unlikely to be increased. While replacing the head coach, the Knicks also introduced a number of strong new players to contribute to the bench. They signed Abussele 11 million in 2 years. The French forward who shined at the Paris Olympics last season had outstanding performances in both starters/subs. Although the average of 11 points and 6 rebounds per game is not amazing, his 38% three-point shooting percentage (4 shots per game) is of great significance. They have a super cheap price of $3.6 million in one year and sign the random scorer Clarkson. It is hard to believe that a player who averaged more than 15 points per game for six consecutive years has only come to the new team with a basic salary. Many people think that Clarkson is inefficient and has a high proportion of ball rights, but his annual salary is 3.6 million yuan. No matter how much this price is, it is a hot commodity. Moreover, the Knicks' bench does require scoring firepower.

They only used a non-guaranteed contract to get the sixth best man, the quasi-All-star player Brogden. At his peak, Brogden averaged 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of nearly 40%. The defense is also very strong among the defenders. He is one of the top 3D players in the league. Now he still has certain 3D attributes. In Brogden's original words, "What I want to do this year is to reduce the pressure on Jaylen Brunson on both offense and defense, and at the same time reduce the burden on others. This lineup requires more players who can create opportunities, have strong ball control and have comprehensive skills. I think I can bring these. I can defend, like a Swiss army knife." After signing these three players, the Knicks' bench has been several levels higher than last season.

In addition, the Knicks had another operation in the offseason, which was to renew Bridges for $150 million in four years. Although he had never been to the All-Star, Bridges must be a powerful puzzle for the championship team. His personal attributes are perfect, he has never been injured in his career, and he has never missed a game. He has certain achievements in both offense and defense in both ends, like a panacea. This renewal price is still worth it for the Knicks. After renewing Bridges, the Knicks set a record, setting a new record for the most expensive starting lineup in NBA history, and is also the first team in history to have five starting players, with contract prices exceeding US$80 million. Among them, Brunson's contract is 157 million in four years, Towns, who just came last season, 220 million in four years, Anunobi's 213 million in five years, Bridges's 150 million in four years, and Hart's 81 million in four years. The five starters have more than 820 million US dollars in contracts. I have to say that the Knicks are really rich. Unlike other giant teams, although the Knicks are expensive, their core cores do not seem to be as powerful as the Jankudu-level super giant. It is not easy for him to be a star Brunson to become a second-round pick and become an All-Star. With his physical talent, it is indeed difficult to rise to a super-giant height. Although the inside core Towns is the No. 1 pick, he has been playing lukewarm in the past few years since his debut. As a space insider, Towns' personal ability and ceiling are indeed still far behind centers like Embiid and Jokic. Of course, after all, the Knicks have several core cores, strong average strength and no obvious shortcomings. The most important thing is that after Thibodeau's training, they are all tough guys.

spent 820 million yuan, the most expensive starter in NBA history! If you don't win the championship, you should rebuild. For the Knicks, they paid a big price to build a grand formation and upgraded the bench to try their best in the championship window. The new season is a good opportunity because the strength of the Eastern Conference has been greatly weakened. The Celtics have lost Tatum, and the Eastern Conference champion Pacers have lost Halliburton and Turner, so they are probably going to be ruined. Without Lillard, Antetokounmpo returned to a state where he could not support his single core team. The 76ers also fell, and George and Embiid both leaked the altar. In this way, other Eastern teams led by the Knicks have more hope to strive for the championship. So how far do you think this Knicks can go next season?
