The Mavericks keep on getting good news, the Lakers sign a big deal! The Knicks finalize the new coach, the Warriors are too difficult

Basketball

The NBA free agent trading market is surging. With Jaren Jackson Jr. signing a five-year maximum salary contract of US$240 million, a total of 6 of the 2018 rookies have signed over-the-maximum salary (the other 5 are Ayton, Doncic, Trae Young, Alexander and Porter Jr.) and tying the NBA record held by the 2011 rookies. At the same time, the Durant deal has not been officially reached. According to the latest US media reports, the Rockets and the Suns are working hard to expand the Durant deal to 7 teams (Rockets, Suns, Hawks, Nets, Warriors, Lakers and Timberwolves), setting a new NBA record. The specific transaction details are expected to be finalized on Thursday! In addition, there are many new developments in the NBA, let’s take a look.

The first note: The Mavericks are full of good news

The Mavericks are full of good news! First, No. 1 pick Flag officially signed a four-year, $62.73 million rookie contract, setting a new NBA record. At the same time, Exam rejected the invitation from the two strong teams and completed a one-year contract extension with the Mavericks. According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Exam will share the team's point guard task with Russell. In addition, according to NBA famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that Vogel will join the Mavericks coaching staff as the chief assistant coach! It is worth mentioning that in the 2019-20 season, Vogel was the Lakers' head coach and Kidd was the chief assistant coach. Thirty years in Hedong and Thirty years in Hexi, the champion coach Vogel put down his posture and cooperated with Kidd again, which is enough to show the Mavericks' ambitions in the new season: to strive for the championship!

The second one: The Lakers' heavy signing

The Lakers ushered in good news and completed the heavy signing. According to NBA famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that Ayton has agreed to sign a two-year contract with the Lakers for $16.6 million, with an annual salary of $8.1 million in the new season and a player option worth $8.5 million in the second year. Ayton's original contract has 1 year and $35.5 million left. He gave up $10 million during the buyout process. That is to say, after signing this new contract, Ayton's total salary in the new season is still $34 million. For the Lakers, after signing Ayton, they basically solved the team's starting center problem, but their inside line is still very weak and they urgently need a substitute center. Celtic veteran Horford is the Lakers' favorite target!

The third one: The Knicks finalize the new coach

The Knicks officially finalize the new coach! According to NBA famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that the Knicks will hire Brown as the team's new head coach. After Thiboddeo was dismissed, the Knicks have been performing coach selection work. Brown is the only head coach candidate for the Knicks who have interviewed many times, and deserves it! Brown has coached the Cavaliers, Lakers and Kings for 11 seasons, with a total record of 454 wins and 305 losses in the regular season, with a winning rate of 59.9%; his total record of coaching the playoffs is 50 wins and 40 losses in the playoffs, with a winning rate of 55.6%. Not only that, Brown has also won the Best Head Coach of the Year twice and led the team to the NBA Finals once. The Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference final last season, and rushing out of the East is still their goal in the new season. Brown has a long way to go!

The fourth chapter: The Warriors are too difficult

There are many wealthy teams from the east and west to recruit players, which is very lively, but all of this has nothing to do with the Warriors! Since the free market opened, the Warriors have become the real "Golden State Youyi Team", but they missed their favorite Gafford, Reed, Posses, Connet, Huang Zhong, Lopez, Ayton and others one after another. At the same time, the Warriors' backyard caught fire and champion center Looney was poached by the Pelicans! In addition, the issue of Kumingga's contract renewal has been unresolved. The Warriors offered him a one-year qualification offer of US$7.9 million, but no one has been interested in it. The King even offered the Warriors a quotation of Devin Carter + Saric + draft pick. It is not very harmful and very insulting! NBA salary expert Bobby Marks pointed out incisively that Kumingga has no bargaining chips in the free market; Warriors reporter Andy said: Kumingga's only bargaining chips are to drag the Warriors until there are no players in the market. It has to be said that the Warriors are too difficult. Even if they finally use Kumingga for a year with qualifications, considering the harsh competitive environment of the league and the current situation of their own lineup, the prospects are not optimistic! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
