After the slightly sad party, Ye Xuan was also a little sad, although he knew that these things were unavoidable, but when he really encountered these things, he still inevitably felt a little lost. But Ye Xuan didn't expect that as the favorites to win the championship, they also began to change players on a large scale.

Since July, teams have begun to negotiate contracts with their favorite free agents, and the Pacers obviously have some free agents whose contracts have expired, the first of which is David West and Luis Scola, in the case that the top management and coaches have made it clear that they will not renew David West's contract, West chose to leave, although the laziness shown in the second half of the season made many teams lose interest in him, but there are also some teams who are very interested in this championship power forward, The first to bear the brunt is the Spurs team with Zhuge Vic.

Everyone knows that the Spurs have only one core, that is, their coach, no matter what kind of player can play his due role in the hands of Zhuge Vic, so although David West has already won a championship ring, he doesn't mind going to the Spurs for another year or two, so with a veteran base salary, David West directly joined the Pacers' archrival Spurs.

The departure of David West has long been expected by everyone, after all, his performance is really not great, and after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs, David West was directly abandoned by Frank Vogel, so it is obvious that he will not be the target of the Pacers' contract extension. But what Ye Xuan didn't expect was that shortly after David West left, Scola also left the Pacers.

Scola has been the main power forward of the Pacers since David West was abandoned, and his performance is also very good, the most important thing is that he has a very good relationship with Ye Xuan, in the team, Ye Xuan first made a friend in the Pacers was Scola, but you didn't expect that the Pacers' senior management did not renew Scola's contract, they felt that with the names of Pickled Pepper and Ye Xuan, they could attract more veterans who wanted to win the championship to join, so the contract they gave Scola was also the veteran's base salary, but it is obviously impossible for Scola to accept this kind of contract, and he is now getting a blue-collar contract of 6.5 million, so the same offer made Scola leave the Pacers and go to the Raptors in Canada.

Scola left, but the Pacers are still doing their own thing to clean up the players, like a big cleaning, abandoning everyone except for a few core players, C.J. Watson became the next object to be sacrificed, the Pacers were not even willing to provide a 3 million annual salary contract for the bench bandit, so C.J. Watson was forced to sign a contract with the Magic with an annual salary of 3.5 million and then left.

In addition, Ronnie Starkey, who couldn't play in the Pacers, also left the team, and this time the Pacers almost walked half of the team, although they were not essential players in the team, but this practice undoubtedly reminded everyone of the Pacers' high-level behavior of sending Danny Granger away directly at the price of cabbage, which can only be described in one word, that is, cold-blooded. The Pacers' top brass is also known as the most impersonal management.

But there are those who leave, and there are those who stay, - Smith's performance this season can be regarded as conquering Coach Frank and the Pacers' uniform team, so in the signing negotiations, - Smith has a two-year 1200 contract, of which the annual salary is $5.5 million in the first year and $6.5 million in the second year, - Smith also has a player option.

- Smith renewed his contract, and Iman Shambaugh was also retained, Shambaugh also performed very well on the defensive end last season, so as a player on the rise, the Pacers offered him a 4-year 3500 contract, this contract looks very good, but there are some small institutions in the middle, first of all, Shambaugh's salary in the first year can only receive 700, but as compensation, Shambaugh has a two-year player option from the third year.

was retained, which is also good news for Ye Xuan, who has lost several teammates one after another. Since then, the reinforcement of the Pacers has also been another good news for Ye Xuan, first of all, the Pacers snatched Jordan Hill from the hands of the Lakers, this beastist interior line was able to contribute an average of 12 points per game plus 8 rebounds in the Lakers last season, after losing David West, Louis Scola and Jermaine O'Neal, the Pacers' interior line has been a little empty, so they also directly signed Jordan Hill with a one-year contract of 5 million.

But the next signing made Ye Xuan a little unhappy, and the Pacers' uniform team signed an All-Star level point guard without communication at all, which made Ye Xuan feel humiliated. On July 15, Ye Xuan still knew from TV that the Pacers had signed Rajon Rondo with a one-year contract of 9.5 million.

At this time, Ye Xuan didn't understand what the Pacers' uniform team was doing, did he sign Rondo to play his own backup? Or do they want to be in a different position? But no matter what, without the slightest warning, he signed a player to compete for the ball with him, Ye Xuan still felt that the uniform team did not pay attention to him.

Since then, the Pacers have traded Damian Ruuds, a second-year rookie from the Timberwolves, for another Rockets drop-away, Chase Badinger. I don't know if the Pacers' top brass is obsessed with the mobile phone Rockets abandoned the player, first there is a Luis Scola who just let go, and now there is Chase Bardinger, don't forget that Jordan Hill was also a Rockets player.

However, at this point, the basic framework of the Pacers' new season has also come out, and the center is still two people, Masinmi and Hibbert. The big forward position is Chase Battinger and Jordan Hill, the two Rockets waivers, and there are more options for small forwards, - Smith is a small forward, and Shambaugh and Solomon Hill also have experience playing small forward, and these four people are likely to play small forward and point guard. As for the point guards, it is Ye Xuan and Rajon Rondo.
