Chapter 435 New Alliance Pattern
Then the Cavaliers signed Richard Jefferson, one of the three chariots of the Nets, with a basic salary of a veteran. He made an appointment, but in recent days, he changed his mind, and now he has reached a one-year veteran's basic salary contract with the Cavaliers.

For the Mavericks, this almost made them experience another "Jordan Incident". Before that, Jordan verbally agreed to sign with the Mavericks, but then he went back on his word and finally renewed his contract with the Clippers. The most important signing, this incident had a huge impact on the Mavericks.Of course, Jefferson's importance cannot be compared with Jordan's, so the impact of his repentance is not too great.

So far, the Cavaliers' signings are basically like this. It's not that they don't want to continue to reinforce, but because they don't have enough salary space and players, so they stopped their frantic recruitment of veterans.The three teams in the first echelon of the East have their own reinforcements and transactions, and several teams in the West have also started their own reinforcement journey after seeing the reinforcements of the top three in the East.

First of all, the newly promoted defending champion Warriors. After defeating the Pacers and winning the 14-15 season championship, what the Warriors need to do most is to maintain the integrity of their lineup, so everything they do this summer The operation is all to keep Drummond Green, whose contract has expired.

First, they directly reached an agreement with the Celtics to send All-Star power forward David Lee to the Celtics in exchange for Gerald Wallace. In 2010, David Lee came to the Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal. David Lee hoped that he could help this young team. Five years later, David Lee was traded to the Celtics with championship honors and the respect of his teammates.David Lee was once the starting power forward of the Warriors and was an important puzzle piece for the team.However, at the beginning of last season, with David Lee's injury and the gradual rise of Draymond Green, David Lee's position became more and more embarrassing, and he gradually became the team's cleanup target.After the opening of the free agent market this summer, the Warriors and Green reached a five-year $5 million contract, which indicates that the purging of David Lee is irreversible.David Lee said that he hopes to go to a team that can get more playing time, so that he can play his worth and get a better contract in the free agent market in the coming year.

They traded David Lee for Wallace, and due to the need to reduce salary pressure, the follow-up operations were also expected.Wallace's salary next season is $1050 million, while Thompson's contract expires in two seasons, next season's salary is $2 million, 640-2016 season's salary is $17 million, but only $700 million is guaranteed sexual.Before the deals of David Lee, Wallace, and Thompson were not done, the Warriors had to pay about $265 million in luxury tax, but after the completion of these two transactions, their luxury tax dropped from $3810 million to $3810 million , down to $2400 million.In other words, 1600 transactions helped the Warriors save $2 million in taxes.

In addition, the Warriors also completed a contract extension with the bench bandit Barbosa who played fairly well last season, and the value of the contract is 250 million US dollars.The Golden State Warriors are also close to signing free agent Ian Clark, sources familiar with the matter said.Clarke helped the Warriors win the Summer League Championship in 2013, and that highlight performance helped him win a two-year contract with the Jazz. Now he is a free agent again and decides to return to Golden State.

The choice of the Warriors after winning the championship is indeed in line with everyone's expectations, but the Rockets, who were eliminated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals this season, are not so lucky. Obviously, after successfully re-signing Patrick Beverley, KJ McDaniels, Corey Brewer and Jason Terry, they hit a wall with Josh Smith.

Although Josh Smith's performance after coming to the Rockets is indeed remarkable, but the former Eagle King asked to improve his status in the team. There is no way for Morey to agree to him, so Josh- Smith decided to go to the Clippers.It is reported that the two parties will soon formally sign a contract, and this contract will be a one-year basic salary contract.

Many teams have started chasing Josh Smith this summer, and the Rockets and other teams offered him contracts higher than the Clippers' offer.But in the end, Josh Smith made the choice to join a team capable of chasing the championship.Josh believes that role in the team is more important than money.The Clippers have made multiple operations this summer, including re-signing Jordan and recruiting Paul Pierce, Stephenson and other giants.This made the problem of the excessive gap between the strength of the main force and the rotation lineup that plagued the Clippers last season immediately resolved.

Regarding leaving the Rockets and joining the Clippers, Josh Smith also issued a statement. He said: "In my career, I have spent a lot of time with my family in Houston. This season, the Rockets team, the fans in Houston and the people here made me feel like this is my second home. I want to thank all the supporters for their kindness to me and my family, thank you very much. "

However, after the Rockets lost Josh Smith, they also used a semi-robbery deal to find some ground. They reached a deal with the Nuggets. The current trading plan is that the Rockets send Papanicola Wu, Prigioni, Dorsey, Nick Johnson, a protected first-round pick (2016), and the Nuggets included Lawson, a future second-round pick (2017).

Lawson has been playing for the Nuggets since he entered the NBA. He is also one of the excellent point guards in the "Point Guard Year" in 2009. However, there have been many rumors about the Nuggets trading him in recent times, especially his former coach Karl He is coaching the Kings and is said to be interested in trading Lawson.In this year's NBA draft, the Nuggets selected point guard Mudiay with the 7th overall pick in the first round.Last season, Lawson averaged 15.2 points and 9.6 assists per game, which was a career high in terms of assists.So using a bunch of leftovers to get Lawson, the Rockets' deal is profitable no matter what.

In addition to the Rockets and Warriors in the West, some operations of the Clippers were also mentioned earlier. In addition to re-signing Jordan, and then recruiting Paul Pierce and Stephenson, they also used a two-year contract. Ad'Cole Aldridge was also signed. After completing these contract extensions, Doc Reeves gave his son Rivers Jr. a mini-middle class worth 2 years and $650 million. And there is also a player option for the second year. I have to say that having a father who is a coach is indeed a lot less troublesome than others.

Little Rivers was the No. 2012 pick in 10. He came from the famous Duke University, but after entering the NBA, he never really played in line with expectations. His performance in the two and a half seasons of the Pelicans has always been tepid. Huo, in the middle of last season, the Clippers traded for Rivers Jr. through a three-way deal. In 41 games for the Clippers, he averaged 7.1 points and 1.7 assists per game.If it wasn't for his father protecting him, he would probably be just a water dispenser administrator in the league.

There are really many strong teams in the West. Compared with the big moves of the Clippers, the Thunder team obviously has much less maneuverable space. It seems a bit stretched, so they simply made two contract extensions this summer. First of all, in order to keep Ennis Kanter, who was traded from the Jazz last season, they had to match the Blazers to Kanter. A four-year, $4 million offer contract.This made it impossible for the Thunder, which already had little salary space, to do anything else.

In addition, they can only use a five-year $5 million mid-level contract to keep their Du Shao's substitute Kyle Singler.The Thunder's renewal of Singler also means that the days of Perry Jones and Novak in the Thunder are basically over. Next, the Thunder have to clean up the lineup, free up more salary space, and avoid or pay less luxury tax as much as possible.

Singler is 27 years old. He was selected by the Pistons with the 2011rd overall pick in the 33 draft. Before the trade deadline in February this year, he was sent to the Thunder in a three-way deal.After joining the Thunder, he played 2 games, 26 of which were starters. Since Durant was injured, Singler has been playing his stand-in role to replace him as the starter.However, when he played for the Thunder, Singler averaged only 18 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, and his overall shooting percentage was only 2.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 33%. In the Pistons, he averaged 37 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 2.6%.

Obviously, when Durant was absent, Singler couldn't fill the vacancy left by him at all. He could only catch the duck and was forced to fill the vacancy of the former regular season MVP. He didn't adapt to this role, and it was difficult for him to find the offensive rhythm .Eventually, his starting job was replaced in March, and by April he was out of the rotation altogether.Fortunately, Durant's injury recovery is smooth, and he will come back in the new season. Singler can play the role of Durant's substitute, and he will face much less pressure.

The last thing I have to mention is the Spurs. The Spurs have gone through an unsatisfactory season. The aging of their inside core Duncan and the decline in their competitive state last season are indeed very obvious, so the Spurs are in the playoffs. It also doesn't seem to be very competitive, but I have to say that the Spurs' management method is commendable, and their big moves this summer also make people have to feel their courage.

First of all, they renewed the contracts of many veterans. Shortly after the trading window opened, the Spurs officially announced that they had renewed a new contract with forward Matt Bonner, although according to the team's regulations, the details of this new contract have not been confirmed. It was revealed, but then according to the San Antonio local media "News Express" reporter Jeff McDonald revealed on Twitter that Bonner got a one-year basic salary contract.

Since then, they have also completed the contract extension with Manu Ginobili. On July 7, the Spurs official website announced that they officially renewed the 21-year-old veteran Manu Ginobili.Since then, Ginobili has expressed his gratitude to the Spurs through his Twitter: "It is an honor to play for the Spurs for 37 years." In the past 14-2014 season, Ginobili played 15 games for the Spurs , averaging 70 minutes per game, scoring 22.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3 assists.It has been reported before that Ginobili was considering retiring, but in the end Baldy chose to continue playing for the Spurs. There is news that this may be a two-year $4.2 million contract, and the second year of the contract will be Has player options.

In addition, of course, the most important thing to mention is the legendary Spurs star Tim Duncan. Despite the soap opera of DeAndre Jordan tearing up the verbal agreement with the Mavericks, on the first day that free agents can officially sign with the team, each The team still successfully signed those players who have reached an agreement with the management. Among them, Tim Duncan and the Spurs officially renewed their contract, which has attracted the attention of many fans, not only because the new season will be his 19th for the Spurs. In 2, because of the two-year contract he signed, the annual salary in the first year was only US$500 million. Last season, his salary was reduced to US$1000 million. In the new season, his annual salary was cut in half again. He was a rookie who ended in the summer of 2000 After the contract, the lowest value since the 15-year period.

However, Duncan's salary cut extension also allowed the Spurs to gain more space, so they turned their heads and killed them directly in the crowd, becoming LaMarcus-Aldridge. The last winner.As the most important free agent this summer, Aldridge has attracted the attention of nearly half of the league's teams.In the first meeting, many teams were eliminated.For example, the Lakers, it was originally rumored that the Purple and Gold Corps were very hopeful to get Adelaide, but in the meeting between the two sides, the performance of the Lakers disappointed Adelaide, and he was eliminated.After thinking about it for a long time, Aldridge has made a final decision. He chose to join the Spurs and will sign a 4-year contract with a total maximum salary of 8000 million, of which the fourth year is a player option.

Switching to the Spurs means that Adelaide will join a team that is expected to compete for the championship.For the Spurs who are generally too old, the joining of Alder also means that the team has injected fresh blood, and will thus become one of the most promising teams in the league to compete for the championship.The Blazers became one of the biggest losers this summer. The team's starting five tigers left the team last season. Matthews joined the Mavericks, Batum was traded to the Hornets, Aldridge chose the Spurs, Robin Lopez Ziz was acquired by the Knicks.In this way, the Blazers are bound to enter the reconstruction mode and start all over again around Lillard.
