Imagine you're one of those NBA stars who rain three-pointers and create nightmares on the defensive end, only to have your boss pat you on the shoulder and offer you a contract that doesn't even cover the groceries at the market. Isn't that a joke? That's how Allen feels right now, this guy is almost half a savior with the Suns, giving you solid three-pointers every game, and the defense is more solid than your door. However, when Allen looked at the contract with anticipation, he found that it was not humiliation, what was it? It was only $8 million a year, how could he accept it? So, he refused without hesitation, and he also demanded a maximum salary of 75 million in a hurry. What about the Suns? At first, they looked confused, and then they said they had to think about it. If this is put on anyone, it is estimated that they will be so angry that they will jump to their feet!
Last time, Alunna's heart was called a mixed taste. Thinking about my performance this season, it wasn't covered. With three points of rain and defense like an iron wall, he is simply a superman on the court. But looking around, the contract given by the Suns, hey, how does this make people live?
First of all, let's talk about Aaron's full firepower. This guy has a three-point shooting rate of 40% this season, and he can hit three three-pointers per game, which is blind everywhere. Defense, that's not to mention, the opposing scorers have to take a detour when they see him, and scoring machines like Beal and Booker have to converge in front of him.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Suns actually offered such a ridiculous contract. 8 million a year, which is a big discount for Aaron. This is not only a disapproval of his ability, but more like a direct slap in the face. How could Aaron swallow this breath? So, he decisively refused, and made a bold move - directly asking for a 75 million maximum salary contract.
The Suns obviously didn't expect Allen to come like this, and they didn't react for a while. They say to think about it, as if they want to see what happens in the offseason. This is obviously dragging time and thinking about it. Aaron was in a hurry, but he wasn't a vegetarian either.
At this time, Allen thought of a person, Durant. That's right, it's the big brother in the NBA, and the driving force behind Allen's joining the Suns. Allen thought that if Durant could come forward to help talk, wouldn't his contract problem be solved? So, he decisively approached Durant, hoping to use the influence of his big brother to put a little pressure on the Suns' management.
Thinking about it, Aaron's heart was both a little excited and a little apprehensive. He knows that this move could determine his future with the Suns. But in any case, Aaron felt that he deserved better treatment, not only for the 75 million, but also for a proof of respect and recognition.
Can Durant understand Allen's mental journey? Will the Suns' management change their attitude because of this? Everything is still unknown. But one thing is for sure, Aaron's battle is not just a battle for money, but also a battle for dignity and recognition.
So, what happened to this matter in the end? Will Durant stand up and cheer for Allen, the battlefield brother? Will the Suns' bigwigs soften their hearts under Durant's halo and reconsider the treatment of Allen? It's really unknown. However, one thing is certain, through this incident, Aaron is not only fighting for that contract, but more importantly, fighting for his own dignity and worth. Behind this glamorous NBA stage, every player's every effort deserves to be seen and respected.
As onlookers, we may not see all the bitterness and sweat behind the scenes, but at least we can see that players like Allen are fighting for their deserved rights in their own way. Isn't this spirit one of the reasons why we love sports and basketball?
As for the Suns, this decision not only affects the future of one player, but may also become an important consideration for other players when selecting a team. After all, who wouldn't want to play in a place where they can use their talents and get a fair deal of money? And we, just wait for the flowers to bloom.
