The NBA has entered a long offseason. This summer, many teams are working hard to strengthen, especially the Clippers + Rockets + Nuggets in the West, as well as the Magic and Knicks in the East. The goal is naturally to encircle the Thunder. At the player level, many stars have also obtained big contracts they want, such as Alexander renewing the Thunder with a 4-year, 285 million super maximum salary, Booker renewing the Suns with a 2-year, 145 million yuan contract, including Doncic. According to Los Angeles media, Doncic is close to completing a 4-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, 2-year, With the new NBA broadcast contract taking effect, players' annual salary has skyrocketed. There are 14 people who have exceeded 50 million in the new season. Curry is unique in 59.61 million, George can get 51.67 million, and small cards are 50 million. In the NBA, money is actually a string of numbers.

Not long ago, the Knicks and Bridges reached a four-year contract of 150 million, which means that the Knicks missed Antetokounmpo at least next season (Bridges is the Knicks' main bargaining chip for Antetokounmpo). According to sources, Antetokounmpo has no intention of leaving the Bucks. As long as Antetokounmpo stays until next summer, he will be able to sign a maximum salary of 293.4 million in four years. Antetokounmpo will also set a record for single-season salary in NBA history and become the first 80 million gentleman in NBA history! However, there is another super giant in the league. Antetokounmpo will usher in this historic moment at the same time: the single salary in the 30-31 season exceeded 80 million, and he is Jokic! Refusing to renew the contract in advance and locking in a maximum salary of 410 million yuan for 6 years. In the new season, it’s your turn to re-dominate the league!

Nuggets were a pity last season and ranked fourth in the Western Conference in the regular season. By chance, they met the Clippers. In the words of Denver media, if these two teams are staggered, they will have a chance to play to the Western Conference Finals. In 7 hard games, the Clippers had the advantage in small points (net points), but the Nuggets advanced 4-3! In the second round, the Nuggets met the final champion Thunder, and they fought hard for 7 more games, lost 32 points in the tiebreak, and were unfortunately eliminated! In just 29 days, I played 14 games. The reporters with the team sighed that they couldn't stand it even when they went back and forth with the team at home and away, let alone these players who played the game! But the team's problem is that only six people can play. In the life-and-death battle with the Thunder, Westbrook's hand fracture + Gordon's second-degree strain on the hamstring are all persistent, and there is really no one in the team! If two more is combat power, the final outcome of last season may be rewritten!

The team management acted quickly during the offseason, sent Porter Jr. for Cameron Johnson, freed up salary space + improved starting shooting ability, and then signed Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown for the basic salary to expand the lineup depth, including sending Saric away for Valan, finding a suitable substitute for Jokic, and the team's lineup is becoming more complete! However, Jokic refused to renew his contract for 212 million yuan in advance this summer, and plans to negotiate with the team next summer! According to the salary rules, Jokic renews his contract next summer and is similar to Antetokounmpo. He is eligible to sign a 4-year, 292 million super maximum salary. The first annual salary of the new contract covers the original 27-28 season player options. The specific four-year salary is: 64.8 million + 69.99 million + 75.59 million + 81.63 million US dollars!

Including Jokic's existing contract salary for two years is: 55.22 million + 59.03 million US dollars, Jokic has locked in advance to the maximum salary of 407 million in the next six years! Obviously, as the number one player in the league at the moment, Jokic is definitely worth this super maximum salary. Last season, Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game in the regular season, becoming the first center in NBA history to average triple-double per game in the season! Jokic averaged 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds and 8 assists in the playoffs. Throughout the season, Jokic's On-Off value was +18.3, WS's victory contribution value was 16.4, and the PER value was 32.0. The cumulative data of high-end data RAT has dominated the league for four consecutive years! From 20-24 years, four seasons, three regular season MVPs and one finals MVP, there is no controversy.

However, after winning the championship in 23 years, the Nuggets have been stagnant and were blocked by the Timberwolves and the Thunder for two consecutive seasons. Former General Manager Booth was in trouble and kept letting go of meritorious deeds (Bruce Brown + Jeff Green + Pope), forcing the coaching team to use young people, but they couldn't bear the burden! The Nuggets actually always held Jokic to guarantee the bottom last season. When Jokic was not on the court, the Nuggets' net efficiency value was the same as the Jazz and Hornets' bad teams! Of course, Jokic was very dissatisfied. Westbrook was able to use the Nuggets bench last season, but Westbrook had many choices at critical moments, and it was indeed not trustworthy. It was not that he disrespected Westbrook, but that he was really only left to fight, and the lower limit became lower and lower, so that no one has been interested in the offseason.

And for the Nuggets and Jokic, the new season is different. Johnson's joining improves the lower limit of defense + promotes the team to open up space. Hardaway Jr. has the ability to create scoring independently, is also a stable pitcher, and Bruce Brown. Only the Nuggets have instructions for use. Although Murray's big contract is difficult to operate, Jokic has more and more helpers around him, and the Nuggets are also considered to be the team with the most chance to defeat the Thunder in the new season. There is no doubt who is the number one player in the league, and it is Jokic's turn to re-dominate the league next season.
