Chapter 736: New Season Lineup (4/4!) )

Tucker's signing also officially kicked off the Nets' free agency signings.

Livingston received a lot of offers, and he eventually opted to join the Rockets for 2 years and 22 million, with a player option for the second year.

David West, on the other hand, chose to stay with the Nets, and he signed a one-year contract with the team.

His current pursuit has always been a championship, money is secondary to him, and the Nets just won the championship, and there is no reason for him to leave.

Plumlee is a restricted free agent, and the Bucks offered him a three-year, $30 million contract, and the Nets forfeited the match.

The Nets forwent Humphries' contract extension.

The Nets have completed the signing of rookies one after another.

The Nets and the Clippers' 60-pick Tyrone Wallace agreed to a two-way contract.

After these operations, the Nets essentially retained last season's championship-winning roster.

Point guards: Delon, TJ McConaughey, Dejounte Murray

Shooting guards: Gordon, Booker, Brogdon

Small forwards: Butler, Tucker, Jefferson Jr

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, West

Centers: Jokic, Oden

Two-way contracts: Tyrone Wallace, Yogi Ferrer

The 13-man squad plus 2 two-way contracts only need to add 2 more bench insiders, and the lineup is basically complete.

Terrence Jones, Nene Hilario, Luis Scola, Jordan Hill, Justin Hamilton, Marris Speights, David Lee......

Jones gave Tang Tian a list of low-priced insiders on the free market.

There are not many people on this list, which is also because the free market price is really messy this year, Cole Aldridge, who was given up by Tang Tian, has a 3-year contract of 22 million, and ordinary forwards like Solomon Hill have received a contract of 4 years and 52 million, which is close to Gordon.

The Nets' four interior lines are actually enough, and Yi Jianlian can also play five, no matter who he signs, he is the third substitute and does not have much playing time.

But inside players are prone to injuries, so they have to be signed.

Tang Tian asked Jones to go to Nene and Speights in a row, and among these people, these two may be used in the playoffs.

Jones moved quickly, but it didn't bring back much good news.

After the Warriors acquired Durant, they wanted to pursue David West, but after being rejected, they turned around and agreed to a one-year contract extension with Speights.

As for Nene, because he knew that he would not get much playing time with the Nets, he politely turned down Jones and chose to sign a one-year, 2.9 million contract with the Rockets.

This is equivalent to the two people who want to pursue it have no intention.

Then it seems that there is no suitable candidate for Tang Tian.

Terrence Jones defense is a big black hole, not as good as Humphries.

Scola is too old to move.

Jordan Hill hasn't been playing in line with his values, and he's struggled to get any playing opportunities because of his slow movement.

As for David Lee, not only does he defend the black hole like Jones, but he also has injuries.

Whoever signs it feels like a waste of money.

After thinking about it, there is no suitable choice.

"Don, since everyone is the same, let's sign Justin Hamilton, who is relatively solid, right?" Jones suggested.

Hamilton is not well-known and is a standard bench player, but he played well with the Timberwolves last season, playing 16 games and averaging 9 points and 5 rebounds per game.

has a three-point hand, a soft hand under the basket, and a good blocking ability, but the rebounds are a little worse, and the confrontation is average.

Tang Tian nodded, compared to the others, this was indeed the kind that could barely be topped.

But that's only one, and the Nets need two.

"We should probably think differently, PJ can play in the No. 4 position, he's more strategically important in the No. 4 position, and we can consider signing a backup player in the No. 3 position, preferably with offensive firepower."

Tang Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Jefferson Jr. defends well, but his offense still needs to be honed.

The bench players are functional, now there is one who can defend, and then find another one who can score, so there will be more options.

Jones listened to Tang Tian's words, and his mouth was also suddenly opened.

Within two days, Jones brought back a list for Tang Tian.

In this list, Tang Tian found a name that he was very interested in.

Gerald Green.

The nine-finger dunker, because he likes to throw money, is a well-known homeless man in the league, has played 11 years in his career, has been on 8 teams, and no one cares about it even in such an explosive free market.

His label, in the eyes of most management, is only nine fingers and dunk.

Atmosphere spoilers, locker room thorns, these underlying attributes have even made many teams shy away from him.

However, Tang Tian knows that Green is not that kind of player, and if he uses it properly, he will be a good bench wonder like he did in his previous life when he was in the Rockets.

When Jones approached Green, Green had even decided to play overseas because he was not happy on the free market.

However, the Nets gave a lot of sincerity, a two-year contract above the base salary, so he had no reason to refuse.

Shortly after that, the Nets officially released two consecutive signings.

2 years, 6 million, and a second-year team option to sign Justin Hamilton on a contract.

Signed Gerald Green on a fully guaranteed contract for 2 years and 5 million.

At this point, the Nets' 15-man roster for the new season is officially completed.

At the time of the signing of the Nets, the free agency market was gradually coming to an end, and the signings of various big-name players had been reached one after another.

The Warriors' contract with Durant is public, which is a bit similar to James's, and it is also a 1+1 contract, with a total value of 54.3 million over 2 years.

After the Warriors signed Durant, Barnes also turned to the Mavericks and agreed to a four-year, 94 million maximum salary contract with the latter.

Howard chose to leave the Rockets and agreed to a three-year, $70.5 million contract with his hometown team, the Hawks.

The Thunder sent Ibaka to the Magic in exchange for Oladipo, Sabonis Jr. and Ilyasova.

……

When the dust settles on the free market, the lineups of each team have also surfaced.

After the Warriors signed Durant, they were the only one in the league.

The Spurs have retained last season's roster and are still competitive.

After the Thunder lost Durant and sent away Ibaka, there was only one Westbrook left in the former four, and the strength declined significantly.

The Cavaliers and Nets have retained their rosters and remain the most competitive teams in the East.

The changes in other teams are not enough to shake these teams.

In other words, the new season will be more open than last season.

The West is dominated by the Warriors and Spurs, while the East continues to dominate the Cavaliers and Nets.

But it is also foreseeable that this will be the Warriors' dominant season, just like the original Cavaliers' Devil Shark lineup, all other teams can do is to challenge as much as possible.
