盤點過去 15 年 NBA 最大的一場空合約（Bag Fumbles）

日期：2026 年 8 月 27 日

Every offseason, dozens of NBA players cash in by signing contracts for life-c
hanging amounts of money.

Not every player is so fortunate, though. When the free-agent game of musical
chairs ends and cap space dries up around the league, plenty of players are fo
rced to sign below-market deals and try their luck again next year.

Here, we're focused on the players who blew the biggest bags in recent years.

每到休賽季，總會有數十名 NBA 球員簽下足以改變人生的鉅額合約、賺得盆滿缽滿。然
而，並非每個人都這麼幸運。當自由市場的「大風吹」遊戲結束、全聯盟的薪資空間被消
耗殆盡時，許多球員被迫只能簽下低於市場行情的合約，並寄望明年重新來過。本文將聚
焦於近年來那些「把到手的肥約弄飛」的球員們。

Players who lost out on major paydays because of injuries won't be appearing i
n these rankings. Victor Oladipo, DeMarcus Cousins and Isaiah Thomas all made
far less money than they would have prior to their respective career-altering
injuries, but that isn't their fault.

The players featured here all had a choice at some point. They all just chose
poorly from a financial standpoint.

We've ranked them here based on how much they reportedly gave up, what they en
ded up signing for and how much each of them earned from that point forward.

那些因為受傷而錯失巨額薪水的人不會出現在這份排名中。維克多 歐拉迪波（Victor Ol
adipo）、德馬庫斯 考辛斯（DeMarcus Cousins）和伊塞亞 湯瑪斯（Isaiah Thomas）在
遭遇改變職業生涯的傷勢後，所賺到的錢都遠少於受傷前應得的，但這並非他們的錯。這
裡列出的球員在當時都有選擇的權利。只是從財務的角度來看，他們都做出了糟糕的抉擇
。我們的排名依據是：他們據傳放棄了多少錢、最終簽下了什麼合約，以及自那之後他們
實際賺到了多少錢。

8. Caleb Martin (2024)

Heading into the 2024 offseason, the Miami Heat offered Caleb Martin a five-ye
ar, $65 million extension, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun
 Sentinel. He would have needed to pick up his $7.1 million player option in 2
024-25, and the Heat would have tacked on an extra four years and $58 million
from there.

Instead, Martin declined his player option to become an unrestricted free agen
t. He wound up signing a four-year, $35 million deal with the Philadelphia 76e
rs that contained an additional $5.3 million in unlikely-to-be-earned incentiv
es.

"I mean, you're always going to wish you can make as much money as you can," M
artin told reporters after he signed with the Sixers. "It's part of the game,
it's part of life. You live and learn. You take risks. Sometimes it works, som
etimes it doesn't."

Martin didn't even last a full season with the Sixers. They sent him to the Da
llas Mavericks ahead of the 2025 trade deadline for Quentin Grimes, and it's b
een all downhill for him ever since. In 2025-26, he averaged a career-low 3.9
points in 14.8 minutes per game.

Martin is earning $10.0 million in 2026-27 and has a $9.4 million player optio
n in 2027-28, which will be his age-32 campaign. In theory, he'll still have a
 chance to recoup some of the money he lost by declining the Heat's offer in 2
024. But barring a drastic turnaround, it's difficult to imagine him receiving
 an offer that tops his player option in 2027.

Martin might be a minimum or near-minimum player from here on out, which means
 this could wind up being a roughly $30 million bag fumble.

在進入 2024 年休賽季之前，據《南佛羅里達太陽哨兵報》記者艾拉毽髒w曼（Ira Winde
rman）報導，邁阿密熱火隊曾向凱勒布 馬丁開出了一份 5 年 6,500 萬美元的續約合約
。這需要他先執行 2024-25 賽季 710 萬美元的球員選項，然後熱火隊會再追加 4 年 5,
800 萬美元的合約。然而，馬丁拒絕了球員選項，成為一名完全自由球員。他最終與費城
 76 人隊簽下了一份 4 年 3,500 萬美元的合約，其中還包含額外 530 萬美元「難以達
成」的激勵獎金。

「我的意思是，你總是會希望自己能賺到盡可能多的錢，」馬丁在與 76 人隊簽約後告訴
記者。「這是比賽的一部分，也是生活的一部分。你一邊生活一邊學習，並且承擔風險。
有時能成功，有時則不然。」馬丁甚至沒在 76 人隊待滿一個完整賽季。在 2025 年交易
截止日前，他們將他交易至達拉斯獨行俠以換取昆汀 格萊姆斯（Quentin Grimes），而
自那之後他便一路走下坡。在 2025-26 賽季，他場均僅能貢獻生涯新低的 3.9 分，上場
時間也縮減至 14.8 分鐘。馬丁在 2026-27 賽季的薪水為 1,000 萬美元，並在 2027-28
 賽季（屆時他將迎來 32 歲賽季）擁有 940 萬美元的球員選項。理論上，他仍然有機會
在 2027 年拒絕該選項並成為自由球員，藉此挽回他在 2024 年拒絕熱火隊報價所損失的
錢。但除非他能上演驚天大逆轉，否則很難想像他到時能獲得一份超越該球員選項金額的
新報價。

從現在起，馬丁可能會淪為一名領取老將底薪或接近底薪的球員，這意味著這場「弄飛肥
約」的代價可能高達約 3,000 萬美元。

7. Jonathan Kuminga (2025)

Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors spent the entire 2025 offseason
 in a restricted-free-agency standoff. Shortly before the Oct. 1 qualifying-of
fer deadline, Kuminga agreed to sign a two-year, $46.8 million deal with a sec
ond-year team option.

The deal was "designed for the Warriors—or another team if and when Kuminga i
s traded during the upcoming season—to rip up and complete a fresh new contra
ct after the 2025-26 campaign," ESPN's Shams Charania reported at the time. Th
e Warriors did trade Kuminga to the Atlanta Hawks ahead of the trade deadline,
 and the Hawks did decline their $24.3 million team option on Kuminga, but tha
t's just about all that went according to plan for him.

Instead of landing a hefty payday, Kuminga once again languished in free agenc
y for nearly two months. Finally, in late August, he agreed to sign a two-year
, $12.4 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Kuminga did secure a second-year player option, so he'll have another chance t
o cash in as a free agent in 2027. But he's earning less than $6.1 million in
2026-27, which is a far cry from the team option that the Hawks declined.

Here's where it gets painful: The Warriors reportedly offered Kuminga two cont
ract structures during their standoff in 2025. They offered him the two-year,
$46.8 million deal that he wound up signing, and a three-year, $75 million con
tract with a third-year team option, according to Charania and ESPN's Anthony
Slater.

In essence, Kuminga could have been guaranteed $24.3 million in 2026-27, and t
he Warriors would have had a $26.1 million team option on him in 2027-28. Inst
ead, he's now set to earn roughly $18.2 million less in 2026-27, but he'll hav
e the freedom to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

The jury is still out on how momentous of a bag fumble this winds up being, bu
t for now, Kuminga's agent has a lot of explaining to do.

強納森 庫明加與金州勇士隊在整個 2025 年休賽季都陷入了受限制自由球員的對峙僵局
。就在 10 月 1 日資質報價截止日前不久，庫明加同意簽下一份為期 2 年、價值 4,680
 萬美元的合約，且第二年為球隊選項。根據 ESPN 的夏姆斯楓d拉尼亞（Shams Charania
）當時的報導，這份協議的設計初衷是「讓勇士隊（或者如果庫明加在賽季期間被交易的
話，由其他球隊承接）在 2025-26 賽季結束後將其作廢，並重新完成一份全新的合約」
。勇士隊確實在交易截止日前將庫明加送到了亞特蘭大老鷹隊，老鷹隊也確實拒絕了庫明
加第二年 2,430 萬美元的球隊選項，但這大概是唯一按照他預期發展的事情了。庫明加
非但沒有如願拿到一筆巨額合同，反而在自由市場上再次枯等了將近兩個月。最終，在 8
 月下旬，他同意與明尼蘇達灰狼隊簽下一份 2 年 1,240 萬美元的合約。

雖然庫明加確實爭取到了第二年的球員選項，這讓他有機會在 2027 年再次成為自由球員
以爭取大約，但他 2026-27 賽季的薪水不足 610 萬美元，這與當初老鷹隊拒絕的球隊選
項金額相去甚遠。最讓人痛心的地方來了：根據查拉尼亞和 ESPN 記者安東尼 斯萊特（A
nthony Slater）的報導，在 2025 年對峙期間，勇士隊曾向庫明加提供了兩種續約方案
。一種是他最終簽下的這份 2 年 4,680 萬美元合約，另一種則是 3 年 7,500 萬美元（
第三年為球隊選項）的合約。本質上來說，如果選擇後者，庫明加在 2026-27 賽季原本
可以穩拿 2,430 萬美元的保證薪水，且勇士隊在 2027-28 賽季還擁有一項 2,610 萬美
元的球員選項。然而如今，他在 2026-27 賽季的收入將減少約 1,820 萬美元，唯一的安
慰是他將有自由在 2027 年成為完全自由球員。

這場風波最終會演變成多麼重大的合約災難目前仍未有定論，但就目前而言，庫明加的經
紀人顯然有很多事情需要好好解釋一下。

6. Donatas Motiejunas (2016)

In 2016, the Brooklyn Nets signed restricted free agent Donatas Motiejunas to
a four-year, $37 million offer sheet, according to ESPN's Calvin Watkins. The
Houston Rockets decided to match, which is where the drama typically ends for
restricted free agents.

Motiejunas proved to be the exception to that rule.

According to Watkins, the Rockets only had to match the "principal terms" of t
he offer sheet, which was $31 million. As a result, Motiejunas then refused to
 show up for his physical, leaving the Rockets to wait him out or pull the off
er sheet and let him become a restricted free agent again.

The Rockets initially did the latter, but they then signed Motiejunas to a fou
r-year, $35 million deal. However, an issue arose in his physical, and the Roc
kets wound up renouncing their rights to him entirely. That made him an unrest
ricted free agent who was free to sign with any team.

Motiejunas wound up signing a one-year, $1.5 million minimum-salary contract w
ith the New Orleans Pelicans. He played only 37 NBA games in total from that p
oint forward.

That's a casual $35-plus million bag fumble.

2016 年，布魯克林籃網隊向受限制自由球員多納塔斯 莫泰尤納斯開出了一份 4 年 3,70
0 萬美元的報價單（Offer Sheet），根據 ESPN 記者卡爾文 沃特金斯（Calvin Watkins
）報導，休士頓火箭隊最終決定匹配這份報價。這通常是受限制自由球員爭議畫下句點的
時候。但莫泰尤納斯成了那個例外。根據沃特金斯的報導，火箭隊其實只需要匹配報價單
中的「核心條款」，即 3,100 萬美元。結果，莫泰尤納斯因此拒絕前往火箭隊進行體檢
，使得火箭隊只能選擇苦等他，或者撤銷報價單讓他再次成為受限制自由球員。火箭隊起
初選擇了後者（撤銷報價），但隨後又與莫泰尤納斯簽下了一份 4 年 3,500 萬美元的合
約。然而，他的體檢又出現了問題，最終火箭隊索性徹底放棄了他的簽約權。這使他成為
了一名可以與任何球隊簽約的完全自由球員。莫泰尤納斯最終與紐奧良鵜鶘隊簽下了一份
為期 1 年、價值 150 萬美元的底薪合約。自那之後，他整個職業生涯總共也只打了 37
場 NBA 比賽。這是一場平白丟失 3,500 多萬美元的典型慘案。

5. Shabazz Muhammad (2017)

After the NBA's salary cap exploded in 2016, the Minnesota Timberwolves offere
d Shabazz Muhammad a four-year extension "believed to be worth at least $40 mi
llion," according to Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune.

The following summer, he wound up re-signing with the Timberwolves on a two-ye
ar, $3.4 million minimum-salary contract.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, "Muhammad re-signed with the Timberwol
ves last offseason with hopes of a substantial bench role, only to find [then-
head coach Tom] Thibodeau reverting to the longstanding practices of shorter b
ench rotations and heavy starter minutes that became a staple of his five year
s as Chicago Bulls coach." He averaged only 9.7 minutes per game with Minnesot
a in 2017-18 after playing 20.5 minutes per game over the previous three seaso
ns.

Muhammad asked for the Timberwolves to either send him elsewhere at the 2018 t
rade deadline or release him, according to Wojnarowski. They eventually chose
the latter, leading him to sign a rest-of-season contract with the Milwaukee B
ucks. Muhammad played in 11 games for the Bucks that season and has yet to app
ear in an NBA game since then.

Muhammad met with the Los Angeles Lakers when he was a free agent and reported
ly turned down bigger offers from other teams to re-sign with the Timberwolves
, per Zgoda. Considering how caustically their partnership ended later that se
ason, it might have been better for both parties to part ways in free agency.

在 2016 年 NBA 薪資上限迎來大爆炸之後，明尼蘇達灰狼隊曾向沙巴茲 穆罕默德提供了
一份 4 年的續約合約。據《明星論壇報》的傑里 佐達（Jerry Zgoda）報導，這份合約
據信「價值至少 4,000 萬美元」。然而到了隔年夏天，他最終卻是以 2 年 340 萬美元
的底薪合約重新與灰狼隊簽約。根據 ESPN 記者阿德里安沃納羅斯基（Adrian Wojnarows
ki）的報導：「穆罕默德去年夏天與灰狼隊續約，原本是希望能在板凳席扮演吃重的角色
，但卻發現（時任總教練湯姆）錫伯杜回到了以往的用人習慣——縮短替補輪替時間並重
用主力，這也是他在執教芝加哥公牛隊五年期間的一貫作風。」在經歷了前三個賽季場均
出賽 20.5 分鐘後，穆罕默德在 2017-18 賽季在明尼蘇達場均僅獲得 9.7 分鐘的上場時
間。據沃納羅斯基報導，穆罕默德隨後要求灰狼隊在 2018 年交易截止日前將他送走，否
則就把他釋出。他們最終選擇了後者，讓他隨後與密爾瓦基公鹿隊簽下了一份剩餘賽季的
合約。穆罕默德那個賽季為公鹿隊打了 11 場比賽，自那之後就再也沒有在 NBA 賽場上
亮相過。據佐達透露，穆罕默德在成為自由球員時曾與洛杉磯湖人隊會面，據傳他當時甚
至拒絕了其他球隊更優渥的報價，執意與灰狼隊續約。考慮到雙方的合作在該賽季晚些時
候鬧得如此僵硬，或許在自由市場開啟時直接分道揚鑣，對雙方來說都會是更好的結果。

4. Montrezl Harrell (2020)

Montrezl Harrell hit free agency at the perfect time in 2020. He was fresh off
 winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award after averaging a career-high 1
8.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while shooting 58.0 percent overall with
the Los Angeles Clippers.

Harrell just finished a two-year, $12 million contract with the Clippers and a
ppeared poised for a significant raise. He wound up signing a two-year, $19.0
million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers and never got more than a minimum con
tract after that.

Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times reported that Harrell turned down a bigge
r offer from the Charlotte Hornets when he signed with the Lakers. According t
o ESPN's Kendrick Perkins, the Hornets offered him a four-year, $80 million de
al.

Considering that Harrell earned roughly $25 million over that same span, this
would be a legendary bag fumble if Perkins is right. Harrell earned nearly $39
.5 million across his nine-year career.

If Harrell won a championship with the Lakers, perhaps the discount would have
 been worth it. He was joining the reigning champions, after all. The only pro
blem is, they lost in the first round of the playoffs in 2020-21 and missed th
e playoffs entirely the following season.

蒙特雷斯 哈雷爾在 2020 年迎來了進入自由市場的最佳時機。他當時剛代表洛杉磯快艇
隊奪下 NBA 年度最佳第六人，場均繳出生涯新高的 18.6 分和 7.1 個籃板，投籃命中率
高達 58.0%。哈雷爾那時剛走完與快艇簽下的 2 年 1,200 萬美元合約，看起來已經準備
好迎來大幅加薪。但他最終卻是以 2 年 1,900 萬美元的價格加盟洛杉磯湖人隊，且在此
之後，他再也沒拿過高於底薪的合約。《洛杉磯時報》記者布拉德 特納（Brad Turner）
報導指出，哈雷爾在與湖人簽約時拒絕了夏洛特黃蜂隊更豐厚的報價。而根據 ESPN 的肯
德里克 帕金斯（Kendrick Perkins）透露，黃蜂隊當時提供的是一份 4 年 8,000 萬美
元的肥約。考慮到哈雷爾在接下來的同個四年跨度中僅賺了約 2,500 萬美元，如果帕金
斯的爆料屬實，這絕對是一次史詩級的「弄飛肥約」。哈雷爾在九年的職業生涯中總共賺
了將近 3,950 萬美元。如果哈雷爾當時隨湖人隊奪冠，也許這樣的降薪折扣還算值得，
畢竟他加入的是衛冕軍。但問題在於，湖人隊在 2020-21 賽季季後賽首輪便遭到淘汰，
隨後一個賽季更是直接無緣季後賽。

3. Dennis Schroder (2021)

In February 2021, the Los Angeles Lakers approached Dennis Schroder's agent to
 discuss a contract extension, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. They report
edly offered him a four-year, $84 million deal, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst (vi
a Dan Feldman of NBC Sports), but McMenamin reported that "Schroder's side sai
d they would rather wait until the offseason to discuss a deal when he reached
 free agency."

Although Schroder averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game
for the Lakers during the 2020-21 season, the free-agent market wasn't kind to
 him the following summer. He wound up settling for a one-year, $5.9 million c
ontract with the Boston Celtics via the taxpayer mid-level exception.

Schroder initially had a good sense of humor about his bag fumble. However, he
 later began pushing back on the narrative that he turned down an extension of
fer from the Lakers.

"I mean, end of the day, there never was a contract," Schroder told McMenamin.
 "There never was a contract, never rejected anything ... That's not true."

Had the Lakers made him an official offer, Schroder told Jake Fischer of Yahoo
 Sports that he would have signed it. "I would never just leave money on the t
able," he added. "My mom didn't raise me that way."

In 2022, Schroder took a one-year, $2.7 million contract to rejoin the Lakers.
 And he finally did cash in by signing a two-year, $25.4 million contract with
 the Toronto Raptors in 2023 and a three-year, $44.3 million deal with the Det
roit Pistons two years later.

Still, the roughly $34 million he earned over that four-season stretch pales i
n comparison to the $84 million deal that the Lakers were reportedly willing t
o offer him in 2021.

據 ESPN 記者戴夫 麥克梅納明（Dave McMenamin）報導，2021 年 2 月，洛杉磯湖人隊
曾主動聯繫丹尼斯 施洛德的經紀人討論提前續約事宜。根據 ESPN 記者布萊恩 溫德霍斯
特（Brian Windhorst）的說法，湖人當時開出的是一份 4 年 8,400 萬美元的合約。但
麥克梅納明指出，「施洛德這方表示，他們更希望等到休賽季進入自由市場後再來討論合
約。」儘管施洛德在 2020-21 賽季為湖人隊場均貢獻 15.4 分、5.8 次助攻和 3.5 個籃
板，但那年夏天的自由市場對他極其冷酷。他最終只能無奈接受波士頓塞爾提克隊開出的
一份為期 1 年、價值 590 萬美元的納稅額中產特例合約。起初，施洛德還能幽默地看待
自己錯失大約的這件事。不過在後來，他開始反駁關於他拒絕了湖人隊續約報價的傳聞。
「我的意思是，說到底，根本就從未有過那一紙合約，」施洛德告訴麥克梅納明。「從來
沒有過正式合約，我也從未拒絕過任何東西……那些傳言不是真的。」施洛德當時告訴《
雅虎體育》的傑克毓O舍爾（Jake Fischer），如果湖人真的給了他一份正式的報價，他
絕對會簽字。「我絕對不會把大把的鈔票留在桌上不拿，」他補充道。「我媽媽不是這樣
教育我的。」到了 2022 年，施洛德接受了一份 1 年 270 萬美元的合約重新加入湖人。
隨後他終於迎來收穫，在 2023 年與多倫多暴龍隊簽下了 2 年 2,540 萬美元的合約，並
在兩年後與底特律活塞隊簽下了一份 3 年 4,430 萬美元的合約。然而，他在那關鍵的四
個賽季中所賺到的約 3,400 萬美元，與當初傳聞中湖人在 2021 年願意提供給他的 8,40
0 萬美元相比，依舊顯得微不足道。

2. Nerlens Noel (2017)

When Nerlens Noel entered restricted free agency in 2017, the Dallas Mavericks
 offered him a four-year, $70 million deal, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon.
Noel declined and requested a max contract, at which point the Mavericks "imme
diately pulled the offer off the table and never made another one," per MacMah
on.

Noel wound up signing his $4.2 million qualifying offer with the Mavericks ins
tead. The following summer, he left Dallas to sign a two-year, $3.8 million mi
nimum-salary contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

From there, Noel signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the New York Knicks i
n 2020 and then re-upped on a three-year, $28.8 million contract the following
 summer. However, he wound up getting bought out of that contract in February
2023 and has appeared in only three NBA games since then.

In total, he came nowhere close to recouping what the Mavericks originally off
ered to pay him in 2017.

"They think he should of taken the [$17 million]," a source close to the Maver
icks told SB Nation's Tim Cato at the time. "That's a good number for him. But
 if he's willing to risk it and bet on himself, you can't knock someone lookin
g for their first big bag of money."

Noel wound up suing his former agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, after Klutch
 accused Noel of not paying his commission on one of his contracts, according
to Windhorst. A judge dismissed his lawsuit in September 2022, and the two sid
es settled a few months later.

當諾倫斯 諾艾爾在 2017 年進入受限制自由市場時，據 ESPN 記者蒂姆 麥克馬洪（Tim
MacMahon）報導，達拉斯獨行俠曾向他提供了一份 4 年 7,000 萬美元的合約。但諾艾爾
拒絕了，並向球隊索要一份頂薪合約，此時獨行俠隊「立刻將報價從談判桌上撤回，且再
也沒有提供過任何報價」。結果，諾艾爾最終只能被迫接受獨行俠隊 420 萬美元的資質
報價（Qualifying Offer）。隔年夏天，他離開達拉斯，與奧克拉荷馬雷霆隊簽下了一份
為期 2 年、價值 380 萬美元的底薪合約。在此之後，諾艾爾於 2020 年與紐約尼克隊簽
下了 1 年 500 萬美元的合約，並在隨後一個夏天以 3 年 2,880 萬美元成功續約。然而
，他在 2023 年 2 月遭到尼克隊買斷，此後僅在 NBA 出賽了 3 場比賽。總計下來，他
後來賺到的錢遠遠沒能彌補獨行俠在 2017 年最初承諾要給他的數字。「他們認為他當時
應該拿下那筆錢（1,700 萬年薪），」一位親近獨行俠隊的消息人士當時告訴 SB Nation
 的記者蒂姆極d托（Tim Cato）。「這對他來說是個不錯的數字。但如果他願意冒險賭一
把自己，你也不能去苛責一個想追求人生第一筆鉅額財富的人。」隨後，在 Klutch Spor
ts 指控諾艾爾未支付其中一份合約的佣金後，諾艾爾反手將他的前經紀人——Klutch Sp
orts 的富保羅（Rich Paul）告上法庭，根據溫德霍斯特報導。法官在 2022 年 9 月駁
回了他的訴訟，雙方並在幾個月後達成了和解。

1. James Harden (2021-2024)

Everyone featured here so far turned down tens of millions of dollars. James H
arden is the only one who's turned down hundreds of millions.

In 2021, the Brooklyn Nets offered Harden a three-year, $161 million contract
extension, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. Harden declined to s
ign it, perhaps in part because he would be eligible for a four-year, $227 mil
lion extension the ensuing offseason.

Five months later, the Nets traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he reu
nited with former Houston Rockets team president Daryl Morey.

That reunion proved fruitful at first. Morey convinced Harden to sign a two-ye
ar, $68.6 million below-max contract, which gave the Sixers enough space under
 the first apron to use both the non-taxpayer MLE to sign P.J. Tucker and the
bi-annual exception to sign Danuel House Jr. Harden got a second-year player o
ption on the deal, which allowed him to opt out and try to cash in the followi
ng summer if he wanted.

Things went south between Harden and the Sixers ahead of his opt-in decision i
n 2023. Morey and the Sixers reportedly ghosted Harden in the days leading up
to the start of free agency, which eventually led him to pick up his option an
d request a trade.

That was not exactly the $227 million payday that was promised.

The Sixers eventually traded Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers last fall, but
 the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement effectively defanged the unmatc
hed spending power of team governor Steve Ballmer. With the second apron loomi
ng large, the Clippers refused to give Harden or Kawhi Leonard full max contra
cts. Instead, Harden agreed to a two-year, $70 million deal with a second-year
 player option.

In total, Harden made just over $100 million across the three seasons that his
 extension with the Nets would have spanned. Granted, he's now one of the only
 players in NBA history with more than $500 million in career earnings, so he'
ll be fine either way.

Still, misreading the market for mid-30s stars in the new CBA landscape cost H
arden upward of $60 million.

這份名單上前述的所有人都是拒絕了數千萬美元。而詹姆斯 哈登，是唯一一個拒絕了「
數億美元」的人。2021 年，布魯克林籃網隊曾向哈登提供了一份 3 年 1.61 億美元的提
前續約合同，據《紐約郵報》記者布萊恩 劉易斯（Brian Lewis）報導。哈登拒絕簽字，
部分原因可能是因為他在接下來的休賽季將有資格獲得一份為期 4 年、價值 2.27 億美
元的更龐大續約合約。五個月後，籃網隊將他交易到了費城 76 人隊，使他在那裡與前休
士頓火箭隊總經理達雷爾 莫雷（Daryl Morey）重聚。

這次重聚起初看起來成效顯著。莫雷說服哈登降薪，簽下了一份 2 年 6,860 萬美元的低
於頂薪合約，這為 76 人隊釋放了足夠的薪資空間（維持在第一土豪線以下），從而能夠
利用全額中產特例簽下 P.J. 塔克（P.J. Tucker），並用雙年特例簽下丹紐爾 豪斯（Da
nuel House Jr.）。哈登在該合約中獲得了第二年的球員選項，這使他如果願意的話，可
以在次年夏天跳出合約去追求頂薪。然而，在 2023 年哈登做出是否執行選項的決定前夕
，他與 76 人隊的關係徹底鬧翻。據報導，莫雷和 76 人隊在自由市場開啟前的幾天裡徹
底「冷落（不聯絡）」了哈登，這最終導致他一怒之下執行了球員選項並直接提出交易申
請。

這顯然不是他當初預期的 2.27 億美元超級大約。76 人隊最終在去年秋天將哈登交易到
了洛杉磯快艇隊，但 NBA 的新勞資協議（CBA）實際上閹割了快艇老闆史蒂夫 鮑爾默（S
teve Ballmer）富可敵國的超強鈔能力。在第二土豪線的巨大威脅下，快艇隊拒絕向哈登
或科懷 雷納德（Kawhi Leonard）提供全額的頂薪合約。最終，哈登只能妥協，簽下了一
份 2 年 7,000 萬美元、帶有第二年球員選項的合約。統計下來，在原本籃網隊續約合約
所涵蓋的三個賽季中，哈登實際賺到的薪水僅剛好超過 1 億美元。當然，他目前已經是
NBA 歷史上極少數生涯總薪資突破 5 億美元的球員之一，所以無論如何他都不會為錢發
愁。

但即便如此，在新 CBA 的環境下嚴重誤判了 30 多歲老將球星的市場行情，仍讓哈登付
出了損失高達 6,000 多萬美元的慘痛代價。
