If you want to say the most regrettable "if" in active service, Ross must be one of them. He swept the league at a young age, with exaggerated physical talent, solid basketball skills, and the youngest regular season MVP in history. The style of play is strong and gorgeous, and he led the team to perform well, but suffered a major injury early and failed to really stand on the top. So what about Rose's career contract? He has never taken a contract of 100 million yuan, and he got the basic salary of a veteran at the age of 29, and now he has successfully transformed.
Rookie contract
As the No. 1 overall pick in 2008, Rose started from a high start, and his rookie contract was worth $22.5 million over four years. The rookie averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game in his rookie season, and easily won the best rookie. In his second year, he was selected for the All-Star stage, and in his third year, he averaged 25 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and also led the team to the first place in the East, and was successfully crowned MVP, setting a historical record.
There is no suspense to get the top salary
After winning the MVP trophy, Rose's maximum salary contract can be said to be without suspense. In '11, Rose signed a five-year, $94 million max contract with the Bulls, and the Rose clause was activated. However, in the first year of the contract extension, Rose suffered a serious injury. In the 12-13 season, he was out of action for a whole year, and after his comeback, he played 10 games and was injured again. In 16 years, he averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and he has become an ordinary player, and has since been sent to the Knicks.
At the age of 29, he got a basic salary at the peak
In the Knicks' first year, Rose averaged 18 points and 4 rebounds per game, and he also failed to find his peak form. He became a free agent and eventually signed a one-year, $2.1 million contract with the Cavaliers at the peak age of 29. He averaged 10 points and 2 rebounds per game with the Cavaliers, didn't get many appearances, was quickly traded to the Jazz, and then cut again. After that, the Timberwolves also used a base salary of 2.1 million to sign Rose, and he averaged 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, playing a second spring.
Sign a big contract after recovery
With a stellar individual performance, Rose proved himself and also ushered in a big contract. The Pistons signed Rose to a two-year, $15 million contract in 19. He maintained an average of 18 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists per game before being traded to the Knicks a year later. The Knicks also offered Rose a three-year, $43 million contract, but he also slowly declined, averaging only 5.6 points per game last year.
The transformation of the base salary was successful
Now Rose, playing for the Grizzlies, signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with the Grizzlies, and averaged 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season, making him a very efficient bench. For Rose, he suffered a major injury at the age of 23, and he also changed from a flying style of play to a skilled guard, and now more than ten years later, it is indeed commendable to still play in the NBA. As an MVP player, he has never won a contract of 100 million yuan, which is a pity.
