The task of Lone Ranger may be completed this summer, but it only takes time and needs a lot of twists and turns. They are Owen’s foothold this summer, which will not change. He and Dong Qiqi will have another season to talk about the future. However, before Owen signed the contract, it could not be counted as true. He still had time to see what the outside world was like.
Owen came to the Lone Ranger at a bad time. He joined in early February. At the beginning of joining, the Lone Ranger still had 28 wins and 26 losses. However, he won only 10 wins and 18 losses until the end of the season, of which Owen played 9 wins and 13 losses. From his lofty ambition when he joined, to falling into the play-off area, to finally breaking the record and falling into the area outside the play-off, it is disappointing step by step. In the end, under the premise of two superstars, the fate of the playoffs was unexpectedly missed. When trading Owen, The Lone Ranger was never expected.
There are many opinions on the problems of Lone Ranger. It is said that it was Dorian Finney Smith’s departure that removed the already weak flanks of the Lone Ranger, which made The Lone Ranger’s defense disappear immediately; It is said that Dong Qiqi and Owen cannot coexist. In short, if the lone ranger can score as many points as Suncha, he can return to the opponent and score as many points as possible. Owen was cut into two halves last season. The first half went smoothly in basketable nets, and the second half went smoothly in solo. Compared with Durant, another leading role in the transaction, Owen’s choice requires a big question mark.
Therefore, the decision of Owen’s off-season is crucial. His contract expires this year and his salary is 38.92 million dollars in the last year. Left-behind Lone Ranger was originally one of the choices, but there was an episode at this time. It was rumored that Owen wanted to go to Phoenix to reunite with Durant, which was categorically denied by Durant. It is feasible for Owen to join the Sun. Paul + Elton can make a deal, but Durant has obviously been working with Owen for several years and is unwilling to get together again.
Rumor has it that Owen turned to the idea of the Lakers, but after the Lakers measured it, they prevaricated with “Owen is not in our plan” and instead started the renewal business of eight village base and Rives. The media reminded the Lakers that once the two were renewed. The Lakers don’t have extra money to deal with Owen, and the Lakers still do their own business. Today, the discussion about Owen joining the Lakers is more in the word of mouth of the media. The Lakers have not made any further statements, which is equivalent to rejecting Owen, refused to fall into the strange circle of introducing Wei Shao again.
After a round, Owen left the way to stay alone, but things didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Owen turned to say at this time: “I will be a free agent this summer, but I am not in a hurry to make a decision. When the media mentioned my name and tried to discuss the team I might join, I sincerely asked you not to pay any more attention to it.” If it was to renew the contract and stay in the team, there was no need to say such nonsense. It can be seen that Owen still wanted to wait deep in his heart to see if there were any other better choices. He was always a little uneasy about renewing the contract and being alone.
Considering from the perspective of money, The Lone Ranger’s renewal of Owen is certain. The Lone Ranger can give Owen a contract of 5 years and 0.272 billion at most, while other teams can only give him 4 years and 0.202 billion at most. However, things in NBA are changing rapidly. The renewal advantage of the home team will not be converted into the renewal action of the players. It is still their choice for NBA players to go to other teams with slightly less salary. In this case, money is often not their first consideration.
Owen’s left-behind Lone Ranger is only the first step. Next, the team will reinforce his weaknesses. Owen will see how the reinforcement works, which is another main reason why he postponed the renewal. Owen came in a hurry last season and had a short time to cooperate with Dong cheqi, which could be used as an excuse for him. There will be an off-season in the new season, after which the whole season will be followed. Owen and donchic can make better use of this time to check the gaps and fill in the gaps and get to know each other.
This raises a question: is it possible for Owen to sign a short appointment first, and then decide to stay until the closing date of next year’s trade or the end of next season to see what the future of Lone Ranger will be like. This is the most desirable for Owen today. Whether the Lone Ranger is a suitable place or not, Owen will look at it again. It is difficult to pack tickets now; Dong Qiqi is also a solider player. Therefore, if there is trouble, only Owen may leave.
Owen is 31 years old, and he will be 32 when the next contract expires (if he signs a short contract Yogueta). It is the time to earn the last big contract in his career. At that time, it is very important to find a team that can fully entrust the rest of his life. He has earned a championship ring in his career, which is Owen’s great advantage. The team he chooses for the rest of his life will no longer be measured by whether he has the possibility of winning the championship.
What kind of arrangement will Owen make, whether to sign a short contract or a long contract, whether to sign a Lone Ranger or find another place, please look forward to it.
