Who signed the largest contract after the opening of the free market? Not George's $212 million in four years, nor Maxi's $204 million in five years! It is Corningham's five-year contract of $226 million, up to $270 million. Corningham is the second player to sign the top salary in 2021, and the first is Barnes of Raptors.
There must be many people saying that they are not worth it, but the Pistons and Raptors have no choice but to give a top salary. With the signing of a new broadcasting contract by the NBA, the salary cap of each team will be increased by at least 10% next summer, and the 5-year $226 million seems to be less exaggerated. Ramden, the new president of Pistons, stressed: "The team will continue to build a lineup around Corningham."
The following set of data will make Corningham a little embarrassed. Last season's top down list of hit rate in the restricted area: only 47.3% of the trailblazer Tanhua Henderson, the league's top down; The pedestrian Maselin was 53.2%, the penultimate; Heat guard Rosier 53.7%, third from last; Piston boss Corningham 55.6%, fourth from last.
Corningham's career was 32 wins and 106 losses, with a victory rate of only 23.2%. With this winning rate, Corningham can still get the top salary contract, which is rare in the whole NBA history. Pistons have another contract in the free market: in two years, 52 million dollars signed Tobias Harris. So far, the piston has 25 million salary space left.
Pistons tell other teams, I am willing to eat the garbage contract in exchange for the draft right. Moreover, Pistons have already started to do so. They took over the remaining one-year contract of $16.19 million from Little Hadawei and received three rounds of compensation from Lone Ranger. Pistons' attitude has cooled fans' hearts. When will the road of reconstruction end?
In addition to the extension of Conningham's contract, the Pistons have another "big move", that is to determine the new manager. Bikestaff will become the new coach of Pistons, and the two sides will sign a five-year contract! Bikstaff once served as the head coach of Grizzlies and Cavaliers, His career coaching record was 255 wins and 290 losses, and he was fired by the Cavaliers on May 23 this year.
In the off-season in 2023, Pistons gave Monty a six-year contract of 78.5 million dollars, and he was dismissed after only one season of coaching. At this year's draft meeting, Pistons selected Ron Holland of Ignition Team with No. 5. This is a risky move. After all, the success rate of the new talent of the team is low. Fans said there was a reason why Pistons were so bad.
Holland was born on July 7, 2005. He is 2.01 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.10 meters. The draft template is RJ Barrett. In the 2023-24 season, Holland played 14 regular season games in the Development League, Average 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.5 steals, 0.6 blocks, 2.9 mistakes, 3.3 fouls, and three shooting percentage: 44.5%, 24%, 75.7%.
Finally, back to Corningham, he was born on September 25, 2001, with a height of 2.01 meters, an arm span of 2.13 meters, and a run-up jump of 0.93 meters. In the 2021 NBA draft, the Pistons' No. 1 player signed Corningham. Since my career, He averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1 steals and 3.5 mistakes per game, and his three item shooting rate was 43.2%, 32.9% and 85.8%.
Corningham played only 138 regular season games in his career, Jay Green played 225 games at the top of the same ranking, Dobby Mobley played 198 games, and XiuBarnes played 211 games. In the 2023-24 season, Corningham averaged 22.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 0.9 steals, 3.4 mistakes, and hit 44.9%, 35.5%, and 86.9% in three events.
The offseason reinforcement is limited, and next season is doomed to be bad! Last question: In the next few years, do you think Corningham can lead the Pistons to the playoffs?
