In this offseason, the league still produced several heavy deals. For example, Paul moved from the Sun to the Wizards, and finally went to the Warriors to join the Treasury. Jinzhou is expected to rebuild its peak. For example, Bill joined the Sun to form the Luxury Big Four, and Aiton+Durant+Booker+Bill, and the offensive firepower output was directly filled. For example, Smart, the soul of the Green Army, was traded to the Grizzlies without warning, accompanied by Gewei. Next season, there are still quite a few league giants, and everyone is the favorite to win the championship. Especially in the west, the Lakers, Clippers, Suns and Warriors are all big teams with many superstars, while the teams such as Nuggets, Grizzlies and Lone Rangers also have the strength to win the championship. Ran Ran, a new star like Thunder and Kings, has risen, but the Spurs and Rockets are not ruined.
In this offseason, the Spurs selected the No.1 pick, Wenbanyama, and the idea of building a team in the future gradually became clear. At the same time, they also made some signings adjustments in the offseason, introducing Payne, Brock, Osman and other instant fighting forces. They also had the core scoring points of Kelden Johnson and wasser, including Champoni, who was abandoned by the 76ers last season. They were also successful in Taobao by the Spurs and were reborn after being transferred to the Spurs. This year’s Summer League also made people shine. Although their whole team is very young, but the tactical system is quite perfect, strong discipline, after all, with the traditional heritage of the old school strong team. Next season, the Spurs may not rise, but in another two or three years, they will definitely grow into a playoff team, posing some threats to other teams in the West.
Compared with the Spurs, the Rockets made more moves in this offseason. Their several large-scale signings are a bit unbelievable. They signed Van fleet for $130 million in three years, Dillon Brooks for $80 million in four years and Sun backup center Landale for $32 million in four years. Now it is a bit exaggerated. Van fleet is just an all-star marginal player, and he is still the least popular small defender in the league market. His age is not small, with more than 40 million yuan a year. Most fans feel that it is not very cost-effective. Dillon Brooks almost lost his worth last season, always doing things inside and outside the field, and once fell to a situation where there is no ball to play. Unexpectedly, the Rockets offered him a big contract close to 100 million yuan. Landale is 32 million yuan in four years, which, to be honest, is a little expensive, but it is acceptable.
As a team dominated by young players, the Rockets must change their goals by signing these players with a high salary. While training new players next season, they should pay attention to their own achievements and go all out to attack the playoffs. For the Rockets boss, money is certainly not a problem. What is more important is to maximize the salary space of the team and build a suitable lineup, which is more conducive to the development of young players. In the first two seasons, the Rockets were all young people. The team didn’t have any tactical system, and the players’ discipline was not strong. All of them were mainly singles. Now, after introducing a group of more experienced players, the Rockets will not have these problems again next season. Now, the rockets’ reinforcement is not over yet, and they have introduced a large number of excellent players through signing contracts.
The Houston Rockets officially announced that the team has signed a number of players, including Nate Hinton, Matthew Mayer, Joshua Obisi, Jermaine Semoores, and Nate Williams. They are basically young guards and have certain room for improvement. Among them, Matthew and Hinton performed very well in the summer league. They signed a training camp contract with Exhibit 9 clause (if the player is injured, he can be laid off without changing the player contract into guaranteed), and Obisi signed an NBA standard contract. Moores signed a two-way contract. Congratulations to the rocket! Five people join together! From the fishing team to the playoffs, the western giants should be careful. Since Harden left the rocket, the rocket has officially entered the reconstruction journey, which lasted for a long time.
Now, the Rockets are finally getting rid of the ranks of the fishbone team. With their current lineup, it is completely possible to attack the playoffs. In the future, the Rockets can play around the two cores, jabari Smith and Jay Green. Xiaobo will probably be traded out, and his role will slightly overlap with other young cores of the Rockets. It’s hard to say who will stand out from the western theater next season! It is estimated that the Spurs will have to paddle for another year, and the Trailblazers will see whether they want to trade Lillard. If Lee does not go, I believe he will not give up this team. With the current lineup, Utah Jazz has some difficulties in trying to hit the playoffs. Besides, other teams in the West, it’s really a fairy fight, showing their talents. Is there any chance for traditional giants to break through themselves?
