Top 10 players who have been cut: Lakers F4 ended in a bleak situation, Spurs scored against celebrities 🤣 1 person is not professional

There were many explosions in the NBA this week, one of which was the layoffs of Lillard by the Bucks. In 2021, on the occasion of celebrating its 75th anniversary, the NBA organized the selection of the 75 superstars in history, and Lillard was one of them. Now that my cousin has been laid off by the Bucks, it is a bit sad.

In addition to Lillard, there are many NBA stars who have been laid off or bought out. Today, the US media Fadeaway World has taken a look at the top 10 of the slashed/buyed out. Lao Zhen will take a look with you (there is a slight difference between layoffs and buyouts. The layoff is the team breaking up unilaterally. Whether the player agrees or not, the breakup can be successful. However, the money that the player should give in the remaining contract cannot be reduced; the buyout is that the team and the player negotiate a price, and the breakup will be successful after reaching an agreement. The disadvantage of this method is that no one party disagrees with the person. The advantage is that for the successful breakup, the player is generally willing to sacrifice money, and if the team agrees, you can pay less money).

1. In the summer of 2016, Wade left the Heat, who had played for many years and signed a two-year, $47.5 million contract with the Bulls. However, the cooperative relationship between the two sides only lasted for one year. In the summer of 2017, the Bulls first sent Butler away and then sacked Rondo, which marked the team's transfer to reconstruction. In this case, their cooperation with Wade naturally came to an end.

In September 2017, Wade and the Bulls reached a buyout, and he gave up 8 million of his last year's salary of $23.8 million. Later, the Flash joined the Cavaliers at the base salary and cooperated with James again.

2. In the summer of 2009, Iverson, who had reached the end of his career, joined the Grizzlies for a year with a $3.5 million. However, Iverson only played three games with the Grizzlies, and in November, the Grizzlies announced that they would lay off employees.

After leaving the Grizzlies, Iverson briefly returned to the Sixers, which was also the last stop of his NBA career.

3, Nash

In March 2015, due to injuries, the 41-year-old Nash announced his retirement. Afterwards, the Lakers announced the layoff of Nash. At that time, the Lakers made this move to free up a place and cap space to sign Jabbarry Brown.

In 2012, the Lakers formed a lineup of Kobe, Gasol, Howard and Nash, but this luxurious lineup on paper failed to succeed and ended in a dismal end.

4, Gary Payton

In March 2005, the Hawks got Gary Payton in a deal with the Celtics, but they did not want Payton, and after completing the deal, they completed the buyout with him. What happened afterwards was quite interesting. After buying out with the Hawks, Payton returned to the Celtics and played until the end of the season.

Faced with this situation, the league could not sit still. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, they specially introduced a regulation that players who were traded and then laid off during the season will not be able to sign contracts with the teams they played for before the trade within 30 days.

In the 2005-06 season, Payton joined the Heat and won the championship with the team.

5. Pierce officially retired after the 2016-17 season. That summer, the Clippers announced that they would lay off employees. After that, Shinri signed a one-day contract with the Celtics to end their career as a player of the Celtics.

Pierce was once the soul of the Celtics and was the MVP of the 2008 Finals. Retiring as a Celtic player is the best ending.

6. Lillard

On the 1st of this month, Shams broke the news that the Bucks cut off 75 superstar Lillard. This is mainly due to the injury Lillard suffered. He suffered a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf at the end of March this year, recovered in less than a month, and returned in G2 against the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs. But in G4, he suffered a tear on his left Achilles tendon and was reimbursed for the season.

My cousin turned 35 on the 15th of this month, and just suffered a serious injury like a torn Achilles tendon, so the Bucks finally decided to change their course.

For Lillard, the good thing is that he can get the remaining 113 million yuan of salary in the contract, and after he recovers from his physical recovery, he can choose his favorite next home as a free agent and restart his career.

7. Carter

In December 2010, the Sun announced the layoff of Carter. This move was mainly to save money. Carter's salary in the 2010-11 season was $18 million, but only 4 million was guaranteed at that time. After completing the layoffs, the Suns successfully avoided taxes.

After leaving the Suns, Carter still galloped on the field until his retirement in 2020.

8. In the summer of 2005, Pacers legend Reggie Miller officially retired, ending his 18-year career in India. At that time, his contract was $6.1 million a year, and the Pacers immediately laid off their employees. Miller received the salary and the Pacers avoided luxury taxes.

9, Duncan

After the end of the 2015-16 season, Spurs legend Duncan announced his retirement. At that time, Duncan had the last year left in his contract. In order to get Duncan to receive the $5.6 million salary, the Spurs chose to cut it.

Two years later, the Spurs did the same with Ginobili. In the summer of 2018, Demon Sword announced his retirement, and the Spurs then cut him, allowing him to receive his 2.5 million salary in the 18-19 season.

10. Rodman

In February 1999, Rodman joined the Lakers for $600,000, but the cooperation between the two sides did not last long. In April, the Lakers announced that they would be cut.

It is reported that Rodman was late for training many times, and even missed training because he could not find shoes and socks. He also did not play games many times, and once he asked for leave indefinitely. The then Lakers coach Lambis was very angry and drove him out of the training ground.
