Renowned American media HoopsHype updates social media: Russell Westbrook’s annual salary has changed from 47 million last season to almost 4 million this season, marking the largest salary cut in NBA history and breaking Griffin’s previous record. HoopsHype also stated that Weishao will not be injured as a result, and his career income has reached $339 million.
Previously, Westbrook signed a two-year $7.8 million contract to stay with Clippers, which has sparked heated discussions. It’s not that the Clippers are stingy, but according to regulations, they can only give this number at most, but other teams could have given Westbrook a better quote, which also indirectly indicates that Westbrook’s market is not so hot. He loves Los Angeles very much, and his home is here, so Westbrook chose to stay, which wouldn’t be so surprising.
HoopsHype said that Westbrook’s salary cut of 43 million broke Griffin’s previous record, so how much did Griffin’s salary cut? According to data, Griffin’s annual salary for the 2021-22 season is approximately $32.4 million, while his annual salary for the 2022-23 season is approximately $2.9 million, with a salary reduction of approximately $29.5 million.
Westbrook only earns less than 4 million yuan per year, which is mainly due to the emergence of some “premium contracts” in the market. For example, Dillon and the Rockets signed a four-year contract of 80 million yuan, which was compared to Wiesel. From this perspective, Westbrook’s salary next season is only one-fifth of Di Long’s. Many fans argue against Westbrook and believe that he should not only receive such a salary.
In the 2022-23 regular season, Wilhelm averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists per game, and Dillon averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game; In the playoffs, Williams averaged 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists per game, and Dillon averaged 10.5 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
