Lively! 2 transactions and 3 signings are reached! Batum jumped out of the contract, and the Lakers favorite target is robbed again

On June 29, the NBA free market was still very lively, and 2 deals and 3 signings were reached. The deals came from the Cavaliers and the Thunder, the number one in the East and West; the signings were the Cavaliers renewing Merrill, the Heat renewing Xiaomi Mitchell, and the Raptors signed veteran Temple; Batum jumped out of the contract and became a free agent. As Ball was traded to the Cavaliers, the Lakers lost another target.

The Cavaliers reached a 1-for-1 deal with the Bulls, and sent Okoro to get Ball to improve their backcourt organizational skills. Ball has suffered from injuries in the past few seasons and has played 35 games this season. Once he can recover from his health, it can still help the Cavaliers. On the other hand, the Bulls also sent Ball away as they wished. There were too many people in the backcourt and there were indeed not many opportunities. It was also good to introduce defensive player Ocorro. The Thunder, who won the championship this season, also began to take action, sending Dillon Jones and a second round pick to the Wizards, getting Colby Jones, but would choose to step on it. Dillon Jones won the championship with the Thunder this season, but unfortunately he was unable to receive the ring with the team. If he could stay with the Wizards, he could only wait for the Thunder to receive the home game against the Wizards.

Let's take a look at the three signings. After the Cavaliers got Ball, they also chose to renew the contract with Merrill and signed a four-year, $38 million contract. This is still worth it, which averaged 7.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in the regular season.

Heat signed a two-year, $24 million contract renewal with Xiaomi, and it is fully guaranteed. The latter averaged 15 points, 2.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists in the playoffs, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 50%.

Raptors signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with 39-year-old veteran Temple, which is his 16th season in the NBA, and averages only 1.9 points and 1 rebound this season.

Batum announced that he would refuse to execute the player option and would become a free agent, but he did not intend to leave the Clippers. The two sides intend to continue to cooperate and will negotiate a contract renewal next. For the Clippers, keeping Batum is one of the main tasks and he still attaches great importance to it. Previous news revealed that Batum is likely to be the last season of his career next season, and the Clippers may provide him with a 1+1 contract.

As Ball was traded by the Bulls to the Cavaliers, the Lakers' favorite target was missing. They had been paying attention to him before and wanted to bring him back to Los Angeles, but unfortunately they failed again. At present, the Lakers have not gained much in the free market. They have always wanted to strengthen the inside line and have no action. There are only some scandals, but unfortunately there have not been much progress.
