(For full attendance, these chapters are very watery...... Brothers, forgive me...... It was originally going to be finished at the end of last season, and there was no next plot in the outline, so it was a bit of a cardin. ）

On the day of the draft, the end of the draft does not mean that everything is over.

Some teams have selected their favorite rookies, while others have been given the first chance and can only be traded by selecting the player who looks the best in the best order.

The first move was made by Western Conference powerhouse San Antonio Spurs, who made the first pick of draft night after the Pacers had just drafted Leonard with the No. 15 pick, and the Spurs used George Hill as a chip to get the No. 15 pick.

Before the draft began, the Spurs were a more active team, and they were always hoping for a higher pick, even willing to use Parker as a bargaining chip. Of course, the Spurs have another plan, which is to use George Hill as a chip to get a lottery spot near the lotto.

But until the start of the draft, the Spurs trade didn't go anywhere.

It wasn't until draft night that the Pacers signed Leonard at the No. 15 spot that the Spurs quickly followed up and sent George Hill in exchange for the athletic small forward.

It's a good deal for both the Pacers and the Spurs.

The Spurs have been developing George Hill in recent seasons, but the latter hasn't grown as fast as the team would like.

Hill averaged just 11.6 points and 2.4 assists per game last season, a drop from 2009-10.

In addition, there is no shortage of people in the Spurs backcourt, Parker, Ginobili and Neil, who came out of nowhere last season, can all take on the responsibility of the Spurs' backcourt.

On the contrary, in the small forward position, the Spurs' personnel reserve is not rich. Richard Jefferson has not performed as well as he should, and it is highly likely that he will be traded away by the Spurs.

Other than that. In recent seasons, Spurs have also been going the younger route. With those reasons in mind, Leonard is a great addition to the Spurs.

Leonard is a well-rounded player who can shoot from anywhere in the court, averaging 15.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season. And Leonard's biggest specialty is defense, and he may become a defensive powerhouse in the league in the future.

And for the Pacers, they have plenty of reserves at the small forward position. Granger, the core of the house, and Paul George, a potential newcomer, can be on their own.

At the back, they need reinforcements, and George Hill is a good candidate.

At the same time, the Spurs announced that Tim Duncan, the soul of the team, will not jump out of his contract.

Duncan will complete his previous two-year contract with the Spurs. $40 million worth of contracts. Duncan's salary is a whopping $21.2 million next season. And after the 201112 season, he will also become a free agent.

Although Duncan has now opted to stay with his old club, the issue will continue to plague San Antonio Spurs management next summer.

A 13-time All-Star, two-time MVP and three-time Finals MVP winner, Duncan didn't do well last season. He averaged only 13.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and his playing time was compressed to just 28.4 minutes. All three figures are career lows.

In response, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said: "Thiem won't be as magical as his rookie season anymore. There is no doubt that no one can play like they did 14 years ago. However, his performances are still solid. He's still at the heart of our team. ”

The Spurs trade was just a prelude, and then the Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets made a big deal.

At the same time as the draft night is going on. The Nuggets and Trail Blazers have closed a deal. The Nuggets sent Felton away to get Andre Miller for the Trail Blazers, and the deal reportedly did not involve a draft pick.

In fact, before the start of draft night, American basketball reporter Bogle broke the news that the Nuggets were negotiating a point guard swap deal with the Trail Blazers, and the Nuggets were willing to send Raymond Felton in exchange for Trail Blazers point guard Andre Miller.

But according to the news at the time, there was a disagreement between the two teams on whether to include a draft pick in the deal. But as negotiations began, the differences between the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers became smaller and smaller, and a deal was finally struck.

Felton has fallen behind in the 05 three major point guards, but he is still a strong faction, and after he entered the trade market, many teams are interested, including the Lakers, after losing to the Mavericks in the playoffs, the Lakers' shortcomings in the point guard position have been infinitely magnified.

Therefore, if the Lakers want to return next season, it is imperative to bring in a good point guard, and if Felton can join, the backcourt combination of him and Kobe Bryant is enough to laugh at the whole league.

But with the retirement of time, it was the Trail Blazers who came from behind, sending away veteran Andre Miller, and finally getting the same quality but younger Felton.

For the Nuggets, Miller's experience and leadership are what the team needs, and he can help Lawson grow even further, and the Nuggets are already preparing for a rebuild without Carmelo Anthony to stay.

Since there aren't many potential rookies in this year's draft, there can't be a lump sum of big-name star trades for rookies and trade exceptions like in '07.

However, due to the birth of the Knicks, the strength of Li Feng and the Knicks has made many stars advocate the huddle mode.

This summer, Carmelo Anthony, the star of the Nuggets, and Dwight Howard, the core of the Magic, both gave the team the ultimatum to trade them if the team couldn't satisfy them.

Maybe it's to complete the bet with Li Feng, maybe it's really yearning for the championship, after Anthony and Howard, Derrick Rose, the young core of the Chicago Bulls, held a press conference to announce that he will not renew his contract with the Bulls after the contract expires, and Rose wants to leave Chicago.

"I want to go to a team that can only win championships, and I don't want to continue playing for the Bulls."

A few simple words made the already undercurrent of the summer market completely boil. Although, there was news as early as when Rose rejected the Bulls' early contract extension, but when this news was really confirmed. There are still quite a few people who are shocked.

The most desperate are naturally the Bulls fans, who were eliminated by their old enemies Knicks last year. Now Rose actually wants to leave the team.

Could it be that the stupid donkeys in the Bulls' uniform team didn't know how to improve the team's strength to keep Rose? The first thing that came to the minds of the fans was to march in front of the Bulls' arena and get them to keep Rose.

All of a sudden, the Bulls Club building was overcrowded.

They held all sorts of banners and shouted slogans, so noisy that the bull's crew could not work properly. Even, some radical fans will do things that endanger the interests of the uniform team at any time.

But the uniform team didn't dare to call the police to drive away the fans, after all, these people are the foundation of the uniform team, and they can't believe that Rose will leave the Bulls.

Some excited Bulls fans even rushed outside Rose's villa to ask Rose to give them an account. In their opinion, Ross may have chosen to leave for reasons of money and the market, and in their eyes, Ross is simply the same commodity as "Judas".

Except for the fans. Of course, the most concerned about this news are the uniformed members of the other teams in the league. The Sun, which has been enthusiastically hyping Rose's imminent departure from the Bulls, jumped out for the first time.

One called mentioned in his column:

"A club like the Bulls can't keep good players without ambition, and last season's results are bound to be short-lived, and then after. They will gradually return to mediocrity" Clear-eyed people know how important Rose is to the Bulls, and major American media have said that if the Bulls can't make a difference in the transfer market this summer, the Bulls' record will inevitably suffer a waterloo next season.

At the same time, they are also starting to speculate about where Rose will go, whether to go to the Nuggets or Magic, or to team up like the Green Shirts or Miami, with Rose and Anthony going to a team with only one star. Like the Timberwolves, or Howard and Rose going to the Thunder. and Durant form a big three, in short, there are all kinds of news.

This is how the summer transfer market kicked off.

The first to trade was the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Sacramento Kings, with the Cavaliers sending power forward JJ Hixon to Sacramento for the Kings' Omicas and a protected first-round pick.

The 22-year-old JJ Hixon has become an important offensive point for the Cavaliers after the departure of LeBron James, averaging 13.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game last season, both of which are career highs. However, due to many controversies and conflicts with the team's coach Bayern Scott, the Cavaliers decided to send away the "thorn head".

JJ Hickson has been in the league for three seasons, and the Cavaliers selected the 6-foot-9" big man with the 19th pick in the first round in 2008.

In fact, the Cavaliers were hoping to send JJ Hickson away before the trade deadline last season, but negotiations with the Suns were not agreed at the time. The Cavaliers got Caspi, despite his average offensive ability, he is recognized as a defensive stalwart in the league. Drafted by the Kings with the 23rd pick in the first round in 2009, Caspi averaged 8.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 24 minutes per game last season. In addition to his defensive ability, Caspi is also full of energy and has a good set jump shot. There is news that Caspi has a good chance of being in the Cavaliers' starting lineup next season.

Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant said in a statement:

'We are very happy to have a young, talented player like Omi [Caspi], who we think will adapt well to our team and make great progress. And then there's the fact that we got a protected first-round pick! ”

If this first-round pick is not fulfilled in 2012, it will become a top-13 protected pick in 2013; This was followed by the top 12 protection signatures in 2014 and the top 10 protection signatures in 2015-17.

And Kings general manager Jov Petri said:

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to acquire JJ Hickson from the Cavaliers trade, and we believe his arrival will strengthen the team as a whole. He's only 22 years old and he has a bright future ahead and we believe he can be an important part of our front line. ”

Due to the arrival of Li Feng, the world has changed, and the labor and management sides have not negotiated and will proceed normally next season, so the transaction will be carried out in an orderly manner.

The Phoenix Suns will sign free agent Shannon Brown to a one-year, $3.5 million contract. It was previously revealed that the Heat were interested in Shannon Brown. But in the end, the defender decided to go to Phoenix.

The 26-year-old has played for the Los Angeles Lakers for the past two and a half seasons and won an NBA championship with the team.

He played a total of 82 games for the Lakers last season. He averaged 8.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. As an important role player for the Lakers, Shannon Brown is an important backup for Kobe. So far in his career, Shannon Brown has averaged 6.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

The latest news from the Boston Herald says that discussions about the trade between "Big Baby" Glen Davis and Brandon Bass have come to an end. That is, Davis will travel to Orlando through a sign-and-trade deal; Buss was traded to the Celtics; Bath has two years and $8 million left on his contract.

The 25-year-old Davis, who joined the Celtics in 2007, has spent four seasons in Boston and his rookie contract expires this summer. In the regular season last season, Davis played in 78 games, averaging 11.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Prior to this, the Celtics had publicly expressed their willingness to re-sign Davis; But now in order to chase big stars. The Green Shirts opted to trade Big Baby out.

The Celtics acquired 26-year-old Buss, who has played six seasons in the league and has spent the last two years with the Magic. Last season, Buss averaged 11.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, both of which were career highs. As an inside blue-collar worker. Bass is not inferior to Davis in terms of physical confrontation or scoring ability. So this deal is for the Celtics. It doesn't take a loss.

Next up was Maddy's move, with the Hawks signing Maddy on a veteran clause to a one-year contract.

While the Eagles are chasing Maddie. There are many teams in the league that have expressed a favorable opinion of Maddie, including the Bulls, who had the best record in the league last season. Because of the inability to reach an agreement with the Bulls, the Bulls are overcrowded in terms of shooting guards and small forwards. The Bulls now have Bogans, Ronnie Brewer and Luhr Deng at this position. So Maddy ended up with the Hawks, and Maddy could be the team's sixth man with the Hawks.

Maddy averaged more than 20 points per game in eight seasons in his career, including two seasons as the scoring champion. He averaged 32.1 points per game in 2002-03.

As a former top star in the league, Maddy's situation in the NBA has deteriorated. Last season, he only received a million-dollar base salary with the Pistons, and his average of 23 minutes per game was only 8+3+3. After the shutdown ended, Maddy successively showed favor to the Lakers, Bulls, and Heat, looking forward to getting some opportunities in these strong teams. In the end, Maddy joined the Hawks, mainly because the Hawks were in dire need of a player who could contribute firepower off the bench after the departure of Crawford, the best sixth man. Getting Maddie on a short-term bargain contract of $1.4 million for one year is a good deal.

After Maddie joined the Hawks, he was most likely to fill the vacancy left by Crawford as the team's sixth man. If Maddy wants to compete as a starter, he'll need to compete with Joe Johnson and young Marvin Williams.

It is worth mentioning that the Hawks have broken through the first round of the playoffs in the past three seasons, and Maddy has also lacked a record of breaking through the first round in his career.

Then came the news that he had a relationship with the Rockets, and Rockets center Chuck Hayes had reached a deal with the Kings. It is reported that Hayes and his agent are currently in Sacramento, and the two parties will officially sign a work contract today. According to sources, Hayes agreed to a four-year contract worth $21.3 million with the Kings.

The 6-foot-6-inch, 28-year-old Hayes, a graduate of the University of Kentucky, has been with the Rockets since he played in the NBA during the '05-06 season. In the regular season last season, Hayes played in 74 games, 63 of which were starts, and averaged 7.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, all three of which were career highs. So far in his career, Hayes has played a total of 424 regular season games for the Rockets, averaging 4.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

As the league's shortest starting center, Hayes is very efficient despite his height, so he is quite popular with Rockets fans. At the end of last season, Hayes officially became an unrestricted free agent. In fact, before the league went into shutdown on July 1, the Rockets offered an annual salary of $2.5 million in hopes of re-signing Hayes. But it was rejected by the center. According to Andrews, Hayes' agent,

"We did get a lot of calls in the offseason. They were all interested in Hayes. ”

In addition to the Rockets, the Kings are interested in Hayes, and it was previously revealed that the Kings offered Hayes a four-year, $20 million full-length mid-range contract.

Judging from Hayes's original intentions, he is more inclined to return to Houston, after all, he has worn a Rockets jersey for the past six seasons. But the problem is that Rockets general manager Morey did not make a contract offer that satisfied Hayes, so Hayes and the Rockets parted peacefully.

After negotiations with the Kings, Hayes decided to accept a four-year, $21.3 million contract from the Kings. A big factor in Hayes' choice to join the Kings is that Hayes is a Californian, and he plays in Sacramento. It's a little closer to home. And for Rockets fans, this is undoubtedly disappointing news, as Hayes is no longer a member of the Rockets.

The Clippers officially signed small forward Caron Butler, the only small forward on the team with a flaw at the small forward position. It was also made up for by the arrival of this titan. Found the last piece of the team puzzle of the new season.

In addition to Butler, the Clippers officially signed two rookies, Trey Tompkins and Travis Lysle, when the player market officially opened. The Clippers used such an important signing to strengthen the roster for the new season. In order to free up enough playing time for Butler's arrival, the Clippers gave up the right to sign Ekdiogu, Giamario Moon and Craig Smith. In the current roster of the Clippers, there are very few players who can play the small forward position because they don't sign these three.

Clearly, the Clippers are waiving these three players in order to focus on putting Butler at the No. 3 spot in the new season to shore up their crumbling small forward position. Among the current Clippers lineup, the only ones who can play small forward are Ryan Gomez and Al Farouk Aminu. These two players will be Butler's main substitutes.

With the addition of Butler, he also became the oldest member of the Clippers' current roster. The 31-year-old is no longer at the peak of his All-Star Game in 2007 and 2008, but he still has a stellar offensive prowess. The Clippers currently have a predominantly young roster, and if they want to make the playoffs and make a difference, they need an experienced veteran to guide them. Butler served as a team leader when he played for the Wizards, and led the Wizards to the playoffs, knowing how to lead the team to victory.

Just when the Clippers currently have young stars such as Blake Griffin and Eric Gordon on the team, if they can successfully renew the contract of DeAndre Jordan, then they will inevitably become the next super team in the league, and the future prospects are limitless.

With the arrival of Butler, the Clippers have closed the most obvious hole in their roster position at the No. 3 position, and this operation may also build their main roster for the new season, and there may not be much change in the future. Judging by the Clippers' current roster, their starting five for the new season should be Morris Williams, Gordon, Butler, Griffin and Jordan Jr.

Before the free agent market officially opened, some media broke the news that the Heat and former Rockets small forward Battier had reached a signing intention, and after the player market opened today, many players have completed the signing.

The Heat have LeBron James at the small forward position, but they are still missing a good No. 3 bench that they will be looking to increase bench depth with Battier's arrival. Battier has been known for his excellent defensive prowess throughout his NBA career, and his gummy defense has made many of the league's perimeter stars miserable. At the same time, although Battier's offensive skills are not comprehensive, but the ability to shoot accurate three-pointers is also very important for the Heat, because the Heat currently have Dwyane Wade and James, two breakthrough superstars, it will inevitably trigger the opponent's bag defense, at this time Battier's open three-point shot is particularly important.

After Battier joined, the Heat had no intention of having the best outside defensive configuration in the entire NBA league, Wade, Battier and James are all defensive elites at various positions, and if the Heat put Wade in the open position and put Battier and James in the second and third positions, then the appearance of these three together will cause considerable defensive pressure on the opponent's perimeter. The Heat's goal for the new season is clearly to win a championship, and Battier's presence has allowed them to improve their roster, and this operation is also a preparation to prevent Mike Miller from another injury attack.

The Magic have reached a four-year, $25 million contract extension with the team's shooting guard Jason Richardson, a 2002 and 2003 slam dunk title, and will continue to play for the Magic for the next four seasons.

Richardson entered the NBA in 2001 and began his career with the Golden State Warriors.

After six seasons with the Warriors, he was traded to the Bobcats and in 2008-09 to the Suns. In a mid-season transfer last season, Richardson was traded by the Suns to the Magic. In 55 games for the Magic last season, Richardson averaged 13.9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

The Magic traded Richardson last season as a three-point shooter for Howard on the outside, and Richardson averaged 6 three-point shots this season, hitting 2.4 of them, with a shooting rate of 39.5%, which can be said to be a good shooter. But in the playoffs against the Hawks, Richardson was disappointing, averaging only 10 points and 4 rebounds per game in six games, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 32%. Richardson's dysfunction was one of the main reasons why the Magic were eliminated by the Hawks in the first round.

Still, the Magic, while waiving Arenas, offered Richardson a four-year, $25 million contract to continue his career in Orlando.

If Richardson had done a little better in the playoffs, his contract might have been worth more. Now Magic star Howard is asking for a trade, and in this case, the Magic still keep Richardson.

It was originally a helper brought in for Howard, but when Howard asked to leave, he continued to stay, and the 31-year-old Richardson will be 35 years old at the end of this contract, and he may retire at the Magic then.
