3 of 13 and 4 of 17 in the life and death battle! The best in the playoffs All star, why do you get 193 million top salary

With the hot playoffs going on, the championship situation of each team this year has become more and more clear, and the teams that can still stay in the playoffs now naturally have stronger stars. For example, the Denver Nuggets' Jokic, who won the MVP three times in the past four years, has played a dominant role in this year's playoffs. The 4th DPOY Gobel was also slapped by him.

There is also Brenson, who still holds the position of scoring king in the playoffs. He can average 33.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. With the use of Sibodu's "insanity", Brenson returned the trust and reuse of the team with a performance that completely exceeded expectations. It is worth mentioning that Brunson's annual salary is only 27.73 million yuan, which only ranks 49th in the league this season. But now it seems that his real level has completely reached the level of the top five in the league.

It is undeniable that although like the Lakers and the 76ers, they were eliminated, but the leading players also showed very good performance, but there are still some teams lost the game because of the core. For example, the Cavaliers who lost to the Celtics, Mitchell and Allen were affected by injuries. In this round of series, they played three games and one did not play at all. And Garland, compared with Mitchell and Allen, he is a drag.

When Garan first became famous in the Cavaliers, the outside world was also very optimistic about him. During the 2021-2022 season, the 21-year-old Garan could average 21.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.3 steals in regular games, and finally he was selected as an All Star for the first time. But over the past two years, Garland has not improved, but has a visible regression. He averaged 18 points, 2.7 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in the regular season, and his offensive efficiency has also declined significantly.

In the regular season, Garland played an ordinary role. In the playoffs with a higher intensity of confrontation, his water standard was no longer in suspense. In the 12 games played for the Cavaliers, Garland averaged only 15.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.3 turnovers, with 42.7% shooting percentage and 35.2% three-point shooting percentage, some of which were lower than those in the regular season.

The reason why the Cavaliers had a hard time playing magic in the first round was that Garland's performance was really bad. In the first four games of the first round, Garland's personal performance was respectively 14 points, 8 assists, 5 errors, 15 points, 4 assists, 4 errors, 5 points, 6 assists, 1 error, 14 points, 6 assists, 2 errors. If he played well, the Cavaliers would have a chance to sweep the Magic.

After the state of G5 and G6 recovered, the fans thought that Garland had finally entered the playoff state, but when he turned back, he made 3 of 13 shots in the life and death battle of the tiebreaker. In that game, Garland only got 12 points and 4 assists, and there were three other mistakes. If he hadn't got the most six free throws in a single game in the playoffs, his score would not have been double.

After seeing Garland's overall performance against Orlando, the fans did not expect him to explode when he faced the Celtics in the next round. In fact, it is true that lowering expectations will not be too disappointed when he is eliminated now. In these five games, only G4 scored more than 20 points. In that game, he made 27 shots and got 30 points, which was his best performance in the whole playoffs. Unfortunately, it still failed to help the team win the game.

In the last playoff game, Mitchell, Allen and Lewell of the Cavaliers did not play. But as the leading player, Garland had better play decently even if he lost. However, it was obvious that Garland's strength did not allow it at all. Under the heavy pressure, he handed over a horrible answer. He "hacked" 11 points in 4 of 17 shots in the game, which was not as good as third year rookie Mobley, who also cut 33 points this time, which was his best performance in the playoffs.

Now that the Cavaliers' season is over, it is time for them to rethink whether they will continue to play with Mitchell and Garland as the core backcourt combination. In the past two seasons, the Cavaliers have made a first round tour and a second round tour, which is obviously far from their goal of winning the championship. The most important thing is that two years later, Mitchell and Garland still haven't had a good chemical reaction, because the Cavaliers may choose to send one of them away during the off-season.

According to the current performance, the Cavaliers will only choose to give up Mitchell for one reason, that is, he wants to change teams, otherwise the Cavaliers will try their best to renew his contract in advance during the off-season. It is worth mentioning that after the Cavaliers lost the game, it was not Mitchell and his team that first raised their dissatisfaction, but Galan's side began to put pressure on the management. According to Shams, if the Cavaliers decided to keep Mitchell, Galan's team would meet with the management, possibly looking for a new team for him.

Compared with Mitchell, Garland just signed a five-year top salary contract of 193 million yuan in 2022, so now he is not only the player with the highest salary in the team, but also his contract will expire in 2028. With Garland's current performance, the contract will even move towards a premium in the future, which will add a lot of difficulties for the Cavaliers to send him away.

If Garland is determined to leave, then the Cavaliers will probably have to stop losing as much as possible. It is difficult for them to use Garland to change back to a higher level star player. Especially when other teams see Garland playing so badly in the playoffs, and there are long contracts and potential injuries, it is quite good that they do not ask the Cavaliers to send some draft rights.

And now the Cavaliers' problem is not only Garland. According to the reports of various media, their team is on the verge of dissolution. Since the Cavaliers want to keep Mitchell, there is a great possibility that Bikestaff, whom he does not trust, will be dismissed. Mobley also openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the team because his ball power is too little. He and Allen, another core interior player of the team, have obvious overlap in playing on the offensive side, It is worth mentioning that there is also news that some players in the Cavaliers are also surprised that Allen is unwilling to play with injuries.

From a comprehensive perspective, it is almost certain that the Cavaliers will have a big change of blood during the off-season. For Garland, he can really consider changing teams. In the Cavaliers, he obviously cannot compete with Mitchell, but it is estimated that few strong teams will like Garland. Considering his playing style and the weakness of playoff habits, The most suitable team may be the one on the edge of the playoffs.
