The Cavaliers then signed Richard Jefferson, one of the Nets' troika at the time, for a veteran base salary, and Jefferson has agreed to a contract extension with the Mavericks shortly after the trade window opened, but in recent days, he has changed his mind and now agrees a one-year veteran base salary contract with the Cavaliers.

For the Mavericks, this almost made them experience another "little Jordan incident", after Jordan Jr. had verbally promised to sign with the Mavericks, but then there was a reversal and finally renewed his contract with the Clippers, because Little Jordan is the most important signing for the Mavericks this summer, this incident has a huge impact on the Mavericks. Of course, Jefferson's importance cannot be compared to Jordan Jr., so the impact of his reversal is not too great.

At this point, the Cavaliers' reinforcements are basically like this, not that they don't want to continue to strengthen, but because the salary space and player slots are not enough, so they stopped their frenzied recruitment of veterans. The three teams in the first echelon of the East have their own reinforcements and trades, while several teams in the West have also started their own reinforcement journeys after seeing the reinforcements of the top three in the East.

First up is the newly promoted defending champion Warriors, after beating the Pacers to win the championship in the 14-15 season, the most important thing for the Warriors to do is maintain the integrity of their roster, so everything they did this summer was to keep Draymond Green, whose contract has expired.

First, they reached a deal directly with the Celtics to send All-Star power forward David Lee to the Celtics in exchange for Gerald Wallace. In 2010, David Lee came to the Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal that he hoped he could help the young team. Five years later, David Lee was traded to the Celtics with championship accolades and the respect of his teammates. David Lee was the Warriors' starting power forward and was an important piece of the puzzle for the team. However, at the beginning of last season, with the injury of David Lee and the gradual rise of Draymond Green, David Lee's position became more and more awkward, and he gradually became the target of the team's liquidation. After the free agent market opened this summer, the Warriors agreed to a five-year, $85 million contract with Green, which heralded the irreversibility of David Lee's purge. Lee said he wants to go to a team where he can get more minutes so he can play and get a better contract in the free agent market next year.

They traded David Lee for Wallace, and because they wanted to reduce the salary pressure, the follow-up operation was also expected. Wallace's salary is $10.5 million next season, while Thompson's contract expires for two seasons and $6.4 million next season and $7 million for the 2016-17 season, but only $2.65 million is guaranteed. Before the David Lee, Wallace and Thompson trades, the Warriors had to pay about $38.1 million in luxury tax, but after those two deals were completed, their luxury tax was reduced from $38.1 million to $24 million and then to $16 million. That said, 2 deals helped the Warriors save $22 million in taxes.

On top of that, the Warriors also signed a contract extension with Barbossa, a bench gangster who played reasonably well last season, and the contract is worth $2.5 million. The Golden State Warriors are also close to signing free agent Ian Clarke, according to people familiar with the matter. Clarke, who won the Summer League with the Warriors in 2013, earned him a two-year contract with the Jazz after that highlight-reel performance, and now he is a free agent again and has decided to return to Golden State.

The Warriors' choice after winning the championship is indeed in line with everyone's expectations, but the Rockets, who were eliminated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals this season, are not so lucky, and the Rockets need to make a lot of contract extensions this season, but it is clear that after successfully re-signing Patrick Beverley, KJ McDaniels, Corey Brewer and Jason Terry, they hit a wall with Josh Smith.

Although Josh Smith's performance after coming to the Rockets is indeed remarkable, the former Hawks asked to improve their status on the team, which Morey had no way to agree to, so Josh Smith decided to defect to the Clippers. It is reported that the two parties will officially sign a contract soon, and this contract will be a one-year basic salary contract.

Many teams have been chasing Josh Smith this summer, and the Rockets and other teams have offered him more than the Clippers have offered. In the end, though, Josh Smith made the choice to join a team that has the ability to chase a championship. Josh believes that his role in the team is more important than money. The Clippers have made a number of moves this summer, including re-signing Jordan Jr. and bringing in the likes of Paul Pierce and Stephenson. This made the problem of the large gap between the strength of the main team and the rotation lineup that plagued the Clippers last season was immediately solved.

Josh Smith also issued a statement about leaving the Rockets to join the Clippers, saying: "I've spent a lot of time in Houston with my family in my career, and this past season, the whole Rockets, the Houston fans, and the people here have made me feel like this is my second home. I would like to thank all the supporters for their kindness to me and my family, thank you very much. ”

However, the Rockets also regained some court with a semi-robbery trade after losing Josh Smith, and they reached a deal with the Nuggets, and the current deal is that the Rockets send Papani Nicolaou, Prigioni, Dorsey, Nick Johnson, a protected first-round pick (2016), and the Nuggets send Lawson and a future second-round pick (2017).

Lawson has been playing for the Nuggets since entering the NBA, and he was also one of the best point guards in the "Year of Point Guards" in 2009, but there have been many rumors about the Nuggets trading him recently, especially his former coach Karl is coaching the Kings and is allegedly interested in trading Lawson. In this year's NBA draft, the Nuggets selected point guard Moodier with the 7th pick in the first round, which also made Lawson very unhappy, and he even publicly said "I'm going to the Kings" on social networks. Last season, Lawson averaged 15.2 points and 9.6 assists per game, a career-high assist. So with a bunch of scraps to get Lawson in his hands, the Rockets' deal is profitable no matter how you look at it.

In addition to the Rockets and Warriors, the Clippers also mentioned some of the operations in the West, in addition to re-signing Jordan Jr. and then recruiting Paul Pierce and Stephenson, they also used a two-year contract to renew the Clippers. White Ade' Cole Aldridge also signed, and after completing these contract extensions, Doug Reaves gave his son Rivers Jr. a 2-year, $6.5 million mini-middle class, and a second-year player option, I have to say that having a dad who is a coach is indeed a lot less troublesome than others.

Rivers Jr. was the No. 10 pick in 2012, he came from Duke University, but he never really played as expected since entering the NBA, and his performance in the Pelicans' two-and-a-half-season was tepid, and in the middle of last season, the Clippers traded Rivers Jr. in a three-way trade, and in 41 games for the Clippers, he averaged 7.1 points and 1.7 assists per game. If it weren't for his father covering him, he would probably be a water cooler administrator in the alliance.

There are a lot of strong teams in the West, compared with the Clippers' big moves, the Thunder team obviously has much less room to maneuver, and the double salary cap plus Ibaka's big contract makes the Thunder's salary space a little stretched, so they simply made two contract extensions this summer, first of all, in order to keep Ennis Kanter, who was traded from the Jazz last season, so they had to match the 4-year $70 million offer contract offered by the Trail Blazers to Kanter. This made the Thunder, who didn't have much salary space, suddenly have no way to do anything else.

On top of that, they were only able to keep their Du Shao's replacement, Kyle Singler, on a five-year, $25 million mid-level contract. The Thunder's contract extension to Singeler also means that Perry Jones and Novak's days with the Thunder are basically over, and the Thunder will have to clean up the roster, free up more salary space, and avoid or pay less luxury tax as much as possible.

The 27-year-old was drafted by the Pistons with the 33rd pick in the 2011 draft and was sent to the Thunder in a three-way trade before the trade deadline in February. He played in 26 games since joining the Thunder, 18 of which were starts, and since Durant's injury, Singler has been playing as his stand-in to replace him as a starter. However, when he was with the Thunder, Singler averaged only 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, shooting only 33% overall and 37% from three-point range, which is a big drop from his stats when he was with the Pistons, when he averaged 7.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate reached 40.6%.

Obviously, Singler simply can't fill the void left by Durant in his absence, and he can only duck up to fill the void of the former regular season MVP, he is not suitable for this role, and he has a hard time finding an offensive rhythm. Eventually, his starting spot was replaced in March, and by April he had simply dropped out of the rotation. Fortunately, Durant is recovering well from his injury, he will return in the new season, and Singler can play the role of Durant's backup, and he will face much less pressure.

The last thing I have to mention is the Spurs, the Spurs are said to have gone through an unsatisfactory season, their interior core Duncan's aging and decline in competitive state last season is indeed very obvious, so the Spurs are not very competitive in the playoffs, but I have to say that the Spurs' way of running is commendable, and their big moves this summer also make people have to sigh their courage.

First of all, they renewed a lot of veterans, and shortly after the trade window opened, the Spurs officially announced that they had signed forward Matt Bonner to a new contract, although according to the team's rules, the details of this new contract were not revealed, but since then, according to what Jeff McDonald, a reporter for the local media outlet Jeff McDonald in San Antonio, revealed on Twitter, Bonner has been given a one-year base salary contract.

Since then, they have also completed the contract extension of Manu Ginobili, and on July 21, the official website of the Spurs announced that they officially renewed the contract of 37-year-old veteran Manu Ginobili. Ginobili has since expressed his gratitude to the Spurs via his Twitter: "It's an honor to play for the Spurs for 14 years. In the past 2014-15 season, Ginobili played in 70 games for the Spurs, averaging 22.7 minutes per game, 10.5 points, 3 rebounds and 4.2 assists. It has been reported that Ginobili is considering retirement, but in the end, the bald man chose to continue playing for the Spurs, and it was reported that this could be a two-year, $5.7 million contract, with a player option for the second year of the contract.

In addition, of course, the most important thing to mention is the Spurs legend Tim Duncan, despite the soap opera of DeAndre Jordan tearing up the verbal agreement with the Mavericks, but on the first day that free agents can officially sign with the team, the teams still successfully signed those players who have reached an agreement with the management, among which Tim Duncan and the Spurs officially renewed his contract has attracted the attention of many fans, not only because the new season will be his 19th year for the Spurs, but also because of the 2-year contract he signed, His salary was only $5 million a year in the first year, and his salary was cut to $10 million last season, and his annual salary was cut in half again in the new season, the lowest in 15 years since his rookie contract ended in the summer of 2000.

However, Duncan's salary cut and contract extension also gave the Spurs more space, so they turned their heads and killed directly in the crowd and became the final winner in the battle for LaMarcus Aldridge. As the biggest free agent of the summer, Aldridge caught the attention of nearly half of the league's teams. And in the first meeting, a number of teams were eliminated. For example, the Lakers, it was originally rumored that the Purple and Gold Army had a good chance of getting Ade, but in the meeting between the two sides, the Lakers' performance disappointed Ade, and then he was eliminated. After thinking about it for a long time, Aldridge has made the final decision, he has chosen to join the Spurs, and will sign a four-year, total $80 million contract with a maximum salary of $4, with a player option for the fourth year.

The switch to Spurs means that Ade will join a team that is expected to compete for the title. For the Spurs, who are older overall, Ade's arrival also means that the team has injected fresh blood, and will thus become one of the most championship hopefuls in the league. The Trail Blazers became one of the biggest losers this summer, with four of the team's starting five last season leaving, Matthews joining the Mavericks, Batum being traded to the Hornets, Aldridge choosing the Spurs, and Robin Lopez being caught by the Knicks. As a result, the Trail Blazers are bound to go into rebuild mode and start all over again around Lillard.
