The Athletic, a local media outlet in the U.S., reported on the 1st (Korea time) that the Oklahoma City Thunder have signed a number of FA contracts. For now, it has set a home rabbit, Isaiah Cho, at $48 million for four years and Aaron Wiggins at $47 million for five years.
It was expected to renew the contract. The two played consistently during the 2023-2024 season and took on the role of a housekeeper for Oklahoma City. 토토사이트 모음
Wiggins averaged 6.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 78 games during the 2023-2024 season. Joe averaged 8.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and a 41% success rate in 78 games during the 2023-2024 season. As a bench member, he helped Oklahoma City build a solid lineup.
In addition, Isaiah Hartenstein, the center of the New York Knicks, was hired for a huge three-year, $87 million.
Oklahoma City’s fatal weakness, which ranked first in the Western Conference regular league in the 2023-2024 season, was the lack of big men to keep under the basket. Although Chet Hommegren was present, the limit was clear to overcome the fierce physical fight with the opposing big men. In fact, Oklahoma was eliminated in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs by Dallas Mavericks big men Derek Lively and Daniel Gafford in a post fight.
In that sense, Hartenstein is the perfect piece to fill Oklahoma City’s weaknesses. Oklahoma City can completely fulfill the role it wants. He plays defense under the basket and boasts excellent rebounding capabilities. He diligently puts on the screen when facing offensives and scores under the basket.
He is a team player who does not try too hard and focuses on selfless play. He also matches Oklahoma City’s team color.
In many ways, the harmony between Hartenstein and Oklahoma City is expected to be very good. There is an opinion that the contract is excessive, but Oklahoma City is a team led by young players who earn less. A salary of Hartenstein is sufficient.
Oklahoma City, which suffered a shocking loss in the playoffs, drew a sword. I’m already looking forward to next season.
