There are another big moves, and there are 2 more billion yuan gentlemen in the league, and the European "magic" may become a bull s core

With the implementation of the new labor agreement in the league, the salary of players has also risen in recent years. Just like the rookie Dylan Harper selected by the Spurs this year, his rookie contract has reached $56 million in four years, and his father Ron Harper, who was once a star player who averaged 20+5+5 per game at his peak. His total salary in 15 seasons of his career is only $35 million.

So, it is no longer new to have contracts over 100 million US dollars in the league. In the past 24 hours, two more billion yuan gentlemen have been born in the league. First, Reed received a five-year, $125 million contract renewal. The Bulls then reached a contract renewal agreement with Josh Gidedi, with an average annual salary of US$30 million and a maximum salary contract of 4 or 5 years.

Many people may not know Reed very well. As a undraft in the league, Reed's story is more inspiring than ordinary people. In high school, he was a top 15 star player and successfully entered Louis Annan State University, a prestigious basketball school. In his freshman season, he was able to score 13.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.

If this data is placed on a big front, then he is likely to be selected in the top ten picks. But at that time, Naz Reed was the No. 5 position of the team. He was short in height, average in arm span, and simple in playing style. This is the evaluation of Naz Reed by the league team. Even though he was only 19 years old at the time, he was still out of the election, which made him know that the honor of a 5-star high school student was just a false reputation. Fortunately, the Timberwolves gave him a four-year two-way contract. In the rookie season, Reed seized the opportunity and averaged 9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game during 16.5 minutes of playing time. After three seasons of training, Reed has become a very versatile mobility insider and is constantly improving his three-point shooting ability. Finally in the summer of 23, he received a three-year, $41.96 million contract extension, which has exceeded 80% of the draft players of the same class.

In the past two years, Reed has become the best "knife guard" around Edwards. Not only has his three-point shooting percentage reached 41.4%, he averaged 14.2 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the last season, and all three data are career highs. After helping the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals last year, the team's first contract renewal this summer gave him a huge five-year, $125 million contract. It can be predicted that he, who is only 25 years old this year, can still play with Edwards for a long time.

There is also a Bulls Josh Giddy who was named "European Magician" before the draft. After being selected by the Thunder with the 6th pick in the first round, Gidey rookie averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in the season. If it weren't for an accidental injury in the middle, he would likely compete with Mobley and Barnes for the 21st Rookie.

However, it is a bit regrettable that after spending three seasons with the Thunder, Gidey was sent to the Bulls by the team. This deal is more like a helpless move for the Thunder. They need to optimize their lineup to strengthen their external defense capabilities, and at the same time, the two players Jaylen Williams and Chet in the team have shown their star potential. So in the end, Gidedi had to sacrifice his life to leave the team. And this year the Thunder successfully won the championship, which proves that their original choice was fine.

Although Giddy regretted missing the championship, he got a better growth environment for the Bulls. Last season, the team sent DeRozan and Laven away, and the young players in the team, Kobe White and Dosem and other players were mediocre. The team's core position slowly shifted toward Gidey. Until the final stage of the regular season, Gidey, who completely solved the shortcomings of three-point shooting, had already shown the potential of becoming a big core with the ball in Cunningham and Doncic. In the last 9 games, he won 7 double-doubles and 4 triple-doubles, which seemed to see the birth of a league's "triple-double king".

In the end, the Bulls chose to leave the future All-Star, who was only 22 years old, and gave a generous bargaining chip with an average salary of $30 million. So even if the salary growth in the NBA is exaggerated, the fact that you want to get a big contract has never changed. That is, you can give enough performance on the court and successfully prove yourself! Do you think the renewal price of Reed and Gidey is high or low?
