After laughing at Zhang Yang for a while, Whiteside and Chu Xuan said goodbye to the friend they met today.

Back at his residence, Chu Xuan was covered in sweat, and quickly took a shower, and then he was also very comfortable.

Because he didn't have to go to work at the Staples Center today, Chu Xuan didn't have anything to do for a while, so he habitually sat on the sofa and watched the news with his tablet.

It's a habit he's always had, and it's been able to keep an eye on what's going on every day in the outside world.

After reading the main current affairs news, Chu Xuan opened the sports interface and habitually clicked on the NBA section.

According to the Dallas Times, the Dallas Mavericks and star Dek Nowitzki have confirmed that they have completed a contract extension with a one-year contract length and a salary of $7.11 million.

After seeing this news, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel shocked, and then felt a little incomprehensible.

You know, Nowitzki has been in very good shape, and in 11 years he defeated the Miami Heat to win the first championship in the history of the Mavericks. Just by looking at this contribution, the Mavericks should give Nowitzki a long-term contract with a high salary, so that he can live with the Mavericks for the rest of his life.

Before the season, when many media discussed Nowitzki's contract extension, they also felt that this contract extension would be made before the trade deadline this season, and Nowitzki would definitely get a long-term contract worthy of his value.

However, this is not the case. Without any warning, the Mavericks and Nowitzki completed a contract extension, still a one-year contract, and the annual salary is only 7.11 million.

This can only be regarded as a middle-class contract, which is completely unworthy of Nowitzki's value, and even more sorry for Nowitzki's contribution.

And precisely, this is also the reason why Chu Xuan can't understand Nowitzki's move.

kept looking at the comments on the Internet, and after a long time, I saw Chu Xuan's eyes light up, and he suddenly became stunned.

Nowitzki signed with the Mavericks just a month into the new season, and he sacrificed so much. It's undoubtedly showing his loyalty to the Mavericks and that he won't consider offers from other teams at all. Obviously, this will undoubtedly boost Nowitzki's reputation and earn him many accolades.

Moreover, and more importantly, Nowitzki's ability to accept such a low salary has undoubtedly greatly released the salary pressure on the Mavericks and improved the competitiveness of the Mavericks in the recruitment market.

Clearly, neither Cuban nor Nowitzki were satisfied with one title in '11, and they also wanted a second.

Chu Xuan knew this, and he couldn't help but be sure that the Mavericks would definitely make a big deal of reinforcements before the trade deadline this season.

With this in mind, Chu Xuan thought about the possible goals of the calf, and at the same time was extremely curious and looking forward to what surprising moves the calf would make.

After the news of the Mavericks, Chu Xuan then saw a news that interested him, which was about the Pacers.

According to the Indiana Northwest Times, former team star Danny Granger and the team completed a four-year, $23.51 million contract extension, and in an interview after the contract extension was completed, Granger admitted Paul George's star status and expressed his willingness to accept any role position given by the team. This shift is really good news for Pacers. ”

After reading this news, Chu Xuan felt surprised and surprised again. What he didn't expect was that Granger would compromise and no longer compete with George for the position of team leader.

A four-year contract, which means that he should not be traded as he was in his previous life.

In Chu Xuan's opinion, Granger's decision was a very wise life decision.

You must know that after leaving the Pacers in his previous life, Granger was completely useless, unable to play star performances, and finally disappeared from everyone.

Now, Granger doesn't compete with a fully rising George and agrees to any role the team gives him that means he can stay with the Pacers. This is the best choice for him.

In fact, Granger has performed quite well this season, averaging 20.1 points per game, and is still the team's top scorer. However, the data does not prove that he is still an All-Star, and this should be clear to him. Otherwise, he would not have accepted a 4-year 23.51 million middle-class contract.

Granger has become a scorer this season, dropping his assists to 1.2, a new low since his rookie season. While he's still the team's leading scorer, Granger isn't as efficient offensively. He shot just 36.6 percent from the field and 33.2 percent from three-point range. That's completely unqualified for a striker. What's more, Granger is averaging 18.1 shots per game this season.

Chu Xuan felt that Granger's ability to grab the ball was too strong to allow him to maintain 20+ points, but it could not hide the fact that he had slipped down.

However, now that he has chosen to compromise, Chu Xuan believes that the Pacers will definitely weaken his role, greatly reduce his number of shots, and make him a scorer next to George, rather than the team's core offensive player.

The two main news stories were about the player's contract renewal, and Chu Xuan stopped thinking about Nowitzki and Granger after some understanding.

And the next news is all about the Lakers.

The first is the trade rumors about Pau Gasol, which says in the news that the Lakers have the idea of trading Gasol, and the next home of the trade is concentrated in several teams in the East, and the Bulls are the most likely option.

When Chu Xuan saw this news, he suddenly felt a sense of ridicule. Trading Gasol? This is absolutely impossible to happen. And according to him, Kuvchek has no idea of trading him at the moment. You know, Gasol has been doing very well this season.

16.2 points and 8.7 rebounds, although this is not an All-Star performance, but compared to last season, Gasol's performance is still much better.

You must know that the Lakers are now short of major generals, and Gasol is tantamount to a pin-like existence on the inside, making great contributions. The important thing is that the Lakers have a good record so far, and Kupchak will never make a big trade unless he is stupid.

Furthermore, it's about the Lakers' recruitment.

Now there are rumors that the Lakers are ready to bring in a point guard to fill the void of Nash's injury. Specific targets are focused on a few defenders.

And for the media, which has always liked to create focus, they will definitely create gimmicks in this regard.

Therefore, as Chu Xuan thought, Gasol's trade rumors were linked to the Lakers' recruitment problem.

According to the news, the Lakers will trade Gasol to the Bulls in exchange for Derrick Rose.

This statement made Chu Xuan speechless again, and he wondered if the heads of these reporters were funny.

Bringing Rose the Glass Man to the Lakers? That's a garbage contract with an annual salary of up to 20 million!
