Only one night! Reeves refused to renew his contract, the Lakers signed two consecutively, Ball Brother joined the Cavaliers 1 for 1

On June 29, the NBA ushered in a night of changes. With the official opening of the free market, the league teams have also begun to promote reinforcement work. Among them, the Lakers signed two consecutive signs, including Davis Jr. The team's lineup depth has been further strengthened, but the star Reeves unexpectedly refused to renew the contract with the team in advance. In addition, the Bulls also reached a big deal with the Cavaliers, exchanging Ball for Ocorro, and Justin Edwards was also revealed to have completed a contract renewal with the 76ers.

For the Lakers, according to the team's reporter Dan Woike, the team's starting core Reeves officially rejected the four-year, $89.2 million contract renewal offer offered by the Lakers. As the team's third scoring point last season, Reeves averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Although his performance in the playoffs was a bit thrust, it is not an exaggeration to see Reeves as the strongest three-in-command in the regular season.

However, although he refused to renew the contract with the Lakers, this did not affect the relationship between the two sides, because the Lakers knew very well that this contract would obviously not be able to keep Reeves. After all, before that, he had already cut his salary very well and signed a four-year, 54 million contract with the team. After performing phenomenally this season, it is normal for Reeves to be eager to seek a larger maximum salary for a long-term contract. But considering Reeves' current market conditions, he will be eligible for a super maximum salary of 180 million in four years or 240 million in five years next summer.

Although the contract renewal work failed to meet its expectations, the Lakers are still very good at signing market. Pelinka first used the second round No. 55 lottery in his hand and cash to reach a deal with the Bulls to get the second round No. 45 lottery. Then he used the No. 45 sign plus cash upward trading to get the Timberwolves' No. 36 signing Adu Tielo from the University of Arkansas. However, according to sources, the Lakers' first choice is not Adu, but a talented center forward, but was intercepted by the Hornets halfway through, so he chose Adu in desperation. In addition, the Lakers also signed an Exhibit-10 contract with undrafted RJ Davis. Of course, this Davis is not the Davis, so don't confuse it. In terms of the Bulls, after seeing off Raven and DeRozan one after another, the Bulls have officially established a framework with White + Gidey as the core to build a lineup. In response, they chose to send Ball Brother to the Cavaliers in exchange for Cavaliers Ocorro to further strengthen the depth of the lineup. In contrast, the Cavaliers, the joining of Ball Brother can further increase the firepower of three-pointers, and at the same time bring organizational and defensive strength to the Cavaliers, which is very valuable for the Cavaliers who are determined to win the championship. But the only thing to note is Brother Qiu’s health. Since joining the Bulls in 2021, Brother Qiu has only played 70 games in the past four seasons. In terms of

76ers, after a bad season, the 76ers management learned from their mistakes and started the reinforcement work of the new season. According to US media reporter Shams, the first phase of strengthening of the 76ers management was carried out for Justin Edwards. Of course, Edwards is their 21-year-old forward, not the Timberwolves' defender Edwards. It is reported that instead of executing Edwards' $1.9 million team option next season, the Sixers' management offered him a new three-year contract. Last season, Edwards averaged 26 minutes per game and contributed 10 points, which is an important rotation of the team.
