On August 21, Beijing time, the US media Clutchpoints posted a picture: Who are you most looking forward to seeing return in the new season? Everyone knows the four people in the picture: Lonzo Ball, Morant, LaMelo Ball and Ben Simmons.Last season, Ball didn't play in 1 game, Morant played in 9 games, Ball played in 22 games, and Simmons played in 15 games. The four of them played a total of 46 games!

One gun king and three glass men, all of them have to return to full health. Simmons will be in the last year of his contract next season, with an annual salary of $38.61 million; Morant will be paid $35.91 million; LaMelo will be paid $35.15 million; and Ball will be paid $21.39 million, also in the last year of his contract. If Simmons and Ball don't play again, they will be unemployed!

The most reassured is LaMelo Ball, whose 5-year, $204 million contract will start next season and will not expire until the summer of 2029. Morant's 5-year, $193 million contract will expire in the summer of 2028. From the team's perspective, the Hornets are the most uncomfortable right now:In the past four seasons, LaMelo has only played 184 regular season games. Is there still hope for him in the next five years?
