Drafts, trades, transfers, and contract extensions will be the main theme of the NBA's annual offseason, with high-profile potential newcomers coming to the NBA, and veterans exiting the NBA stage, the 2024 draft has come to an end, and each team has selected the newcomers they want! Expect them to bring energy to the team, but who will also be signing and executing their final contracts this offseason?
The first place - James
Now the Lakers have signed Bronny with the No. 55 sign, helping James realize his long-cherished wish of father and son on the same stage! This also indicates that James will sign the last contract of his career with the Lakers, he has reached the age of 39, although he still played 26+7+8 luxury data this season, but it cannot be denied that this will also be the last contract of his career, according to relevant reports, the Lakers will complete a 3-year 164 million yuan maximum salary contract with him in the last two days! After executing this contract, he is 42 years old and will say goodbye to the NBA stage!
No. 2 – Harden
Unknowingly, Harden is already 35 years old, and after Harden came to the Clippers from the 76ers in the middle of this season, although the number of shots declined due to the multi-giant lineup, his personal data fell to the level of only 16 points + 8 assists! Although in the playoffs due to Leonard's absence, Harden's data has risen to the level of 21+4+8, but it is undeniable that his state has begun to accelerate its decline, according to the latest news, the Clippers are expected to provide Harden with a 3-year contract extension of 150 million yuan! He himself hopes to be the Clippers for the rest of his life, and this contract will most likely be Harden's last contract extension! I only hope that Harden can realize his dream of winning the championship in these three years!
Third place - Chris Paul
Paul's contract was due to expire tomorrow, but in order to cooperate with the Warriors to trade him, they decided to extend his contract until Sunday US time! Now Paul is 39 years old, still going around for the championship dream, no matter where he goes in the offseason, Paul will definitely usher in the last contract of his career!
Fourth place - George
George's departure from the Clippers is a foregone conclusion, and he will most likely go to the Warriors, who is now 34 years old and looking to exercise his player option for the season! He himself is single-mindedly pursuing a four-year contract extension, which means that if he doesn't jump out of the final year of his contract, then he will be 39 years old after he completes the four-year contract, and it is time to leave the NBA. George still played a superstar performance in the regular season this season, averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game! Efficiency has also reached a new career high! Combined with his previous major injury, he should only be able to play 2-3 seasons as the main force!
Fifth place - Lowry
As one of the most familiar players among Chinese fans, the first time he knew him was his partner Yao Mai in the Rockets, and now he is 38 years old, his career is very inspirational, but it is also very successful in 19 years with the Raptors to win the championship, this season was signed by the 76ers on February 14 with 280w dollars to the end of the season, and now the season has come to an end! Lowry is also bound to have the last contract of his career!
Sixth place - Klay Thompson
Klay is the most controversial player this offseason, he just fell out with the Warriors to renew his contract, and now he is also signing news with many teams, Klay's current state after a major injury is regressing very quickly, and he is now 34 years old, the biggest reason why he fell out with the Warriors is that he wants to sign for three years, and the Warriors only give two years! He himself knows that at his current rate of decline, this will also be the last long-term contract of his career!
