There is no doubt that the biggest money is in the NBA when it comes to basketball. Although the teams have huge resources at their disposal, they are not very inclined to spend them so lightly. Especially not on players like Patrick Williams.
We are talking about the fourth pick of the Chicago Bulls from the 2020 NBA draft, which, so far, has not shown itself in great style in the strongest league in the world.
Williams, on the other hand, thinks too highly of himself. Not to say he overestimates. During the summer, he asked Chicago for a contract worth as much as $200,000,000.
And all of that would be fine if Williams on the field contributed a lot to the Bulls’ results. However, this is a player who averaged 3.7 points with three rebounds and two assists in the first three matches of the new season.
So, it’s clear that Chicago would go completely crazy if they gave him the amount of money that is generally reserved for All-Star players or those who have the potential for such status in the future. Not at all for basketball players who have a secondary role.
To make matters even more complicated, the 22-year-old wing center did not want to extend his contract during the summer, so he will be a restricted free agent next summer.
It is certain that the weak games at the beginning of the season will greatly affect the negotiating position of Williams and his aspirations to win a contract worth $200,000,000.
Some people on social media are already telling Williams how he can go to China, clearly alluding to the weak parties he is giving.
And what would a strong basketball player have to do to get such a strong contract? To begin with, to significantly, significantly improve the games on the field. Pointerski, in the number of rebounds, shooting, defense…
And to be constant in all that. So far, the Chicago player has not shown that he is capable of such a thing.
