Big names in the NBA's free agency market are signing and renewing their contracts. Duncan, Kidd, O'Neal Jr., and Brand are all All-Stars who have not changed teams and have received big contracts worthy of their value.

The Timberwolves are aiming for a championship, trying to make the roster perfect, and have traded swingman Trenton Hassel from the Bulls. This is a well-known defensive immediacy who often makes opponents miss with kraft candy-style defense, and Hassel was only selected in the second round last year because of his poor offense.

The Timberwolves also offered a six-year, $37 million contract extension to re-sign Troy Hudson, the main point guard who performed well last season.

For Hudson's sake, the Timberwolves did not hesitate to pay a large luxury tax.

Funnily enough, this contract is 2 million more than when the Pistons signed Bilops, and McHale's ability to spend money indiscriminately is really not comparable to that of an average manager. Also paying the luxury tax, Billups's strength is at least two notches higher than Hudson's.

At this time, the Timberwolves have arguably the most depth in the league, with excellent players on the starting bench.

Starting Kassel, Sprewell, Szzambiak, Garnett, Olawokandi.

The four have All-Star strength, the most inferior center position, Olawokandi averaged 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.2 blocks per game last season, although he missed many games due to injury, but with terrifying physical fitness, everyone thinks that the Timberwolves have made a lot of money by signing him in the middle class, and Mourning, who has kidney disease, has a higher salary than him.

The Timberwolves' rotation lineup is Hudson, Hojborg, Hassell, Gary Trent, Madsen and others, first-round rookie small forward Ndy Ibby, and experienced interior veteran Elvin Johnson can only be marginal.

Many experts find it incredible that Minnesota's team can match this kind of lineup, and Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor is willing to spend money and has fought hard to meet Garnett's request. If he were to switch places with Clippers owner Donald Sterling, it would definitely be a tough competition with the Lakers in Los Angeles.

Eastern teams also made big moves, with the Magic signing power forward Juwan Howard for five years and $28 million.

Because of listening to Guo Xu's advice, the Suns escaped a catastrophe in the summer, and manager Brian was a little scared when he thought about it, and in early July, the Nuggets wanted to fool the Suns into signing first and then trading with them, and the object was Howard.

Now that Howard has been let go for nothing, one thing is proven, no one wants to sign with the Nuggets and then trade someone like Howard, unless they give away a bad contract.

In Guo Xu's previous life, after Howard joined the Magic, the team's strength not only did not strengthen, but also fell directly from the playoff team to the bottom team in the East, and the Magic management couldn't bear it anymore and traded Howard and Maddie together to the Rockets in 2004. All the Rockets want is Maddie, and Howard is a rotten contract that comes with a package.

The Heat signed power forward Lamar Odom on a six-year, 63 million contract, but the Clippers did not choose to match, and owner Sterling felt that it was not worth it. In fact, in terms of Odom's all-round performance, he is fully worthy of an annual salary of tens of millions, he is a rare playmaker in the league, good at interior strategy, and also excellent on the defensive end, both to prevent pick-and-rolls and to protect rebounds.

Andre Miller, the starting point guard who played a season with the Clippers, was also poached by the Nuggets and signed for 6 years and 51 million.

In the summer of 2002, the Clippers, who had a bright future, returned to their pre-liberation period after a season of injuries, and all the owner did was laugh at the departure of players in their prime.

Wang Zhizhi, who was good in the Celtics, specially called Guo Xu to express his gratitude, he thought about joining the Clippers back then, and his career was basically over.

Now that the Celtics are weak inside, Wang Zhizhi can get stable playing time and performance opportunities in the new season, and he is expected to sign another good contract in the future, at least no worse than the previous one.

In addition to signing Alston, the Raptors' biggest reinforcement action is the signing of Spurs fringe center Battle with a base salary.

Carter presented some of his own reinforcement ideas to management, including wanting to hire Dr. J. Irving as head coach after Coach Wilkens' resignation, but they were opposed by management and they were unwilling to spend money.

In the end, the Raptors actually found the inexperienced Kevin O'Neal as the head coach and signed a short-term contract, which looked like they wanted to mess up.

With such management, Carter almost went crazy and couldn't stay anymore.

You must know that the Raptors used to be a small ball club that was not in the stream, and even the blue-collar interior Camby and the "little flying squirrel" Stoudamire couldn't look down on it. Carter is the star who has been with the Raptors for the longest time, he has turned the Raptors into a team that has been widely watched by fans, but he has not received the rewards he deserves, he has no championship hope at all, and he has no say in the trade or draft.

I have to say that the management of the Raptors is very superb, they are just a bunch of retards.

No matter how unoptimistic the Suns' prospects are and how much fans suggest online, the Suns management has not made any more trades.

Guo Xu's plan is to improve his strength through training, and the key is to develop the potential of young players. Stoudeyer, Nene, Haslem and Diop practiced during the holidays.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Xiao Si's mid-range shooting ability was practiced this summer, which made him score 20.6 points, 9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks in the second season.

Smalls' stats are still Marbury was traded by the Suns after 34 games, and the team got it without a star point guard. With Guo Xu as his partner, Xiao Si's personal ability should be fully displayed and he should have the strength to be selected as an All-Star.

Nene has also improved a bit over the same period, playing most of the time as a substitute last season, and there is no reason for him to be lazy when he didn't perform as well as Xiao Si. The two launched a healthy competition, and Nene only practiced the mid-range shot in one position in the middle, and there was some certainty.

Xiao Si's shooting results are more significant, five fixed-point shots are good, respectively, the middle, two horns, the left and right sides of the bottom line, his shooting rhythm is very good, and he can shoot when he catches the ball.

Nene has the advantage of being physically stronger, with extremely fast feet in the low post, and with feints, he can both break through and dunk under the basket and find time for a layup. When the Suns need a low attack, Nene can play.

The four-man heads-up practice, defending each other is much better than finding a sparring partner, Xiao Si only faced the frame last season, and now he has practiced back play, and the power of quickly turning around and erasing into the basket is not small.

Haslem's offense has also improved, he is a small forward height, and his movement speed has an absolute advantage on the inside, especially the lateral speed is very fast, and he has practiced the technique of changing direction with the ball and breaking through with one step.

This is Guo Xu's advice to him last season, he can't just rely on catching and shooting, if he can shake out space in the face of big men, a simple crotch dribble can improve his role on the offensive end.

Diop's offense is undeveloped, but his role as a sparring partner in the summer is the most crucial. He is the kind of meat shield blue-collar that Xiao Si and Nene used to hate very much, and there was no such person in the team for them to practice last season, and now he often singles them out and has a lot of insights, and gradually knows how to use his own advantages against blue-collar workers.

The four of them often chatted with Guo Xu on the Internet, and sent him training videos to watch. Guo Xu would praise them a few words after reading it, which made them more energetic, and they all felt that their efforts were not in vain.

In the new season, the overall strength of the Suns is stronger.
