The Pelicans' starting lineup next season can almost be guessed, nothing more than the position of scoring guard, whether it is Arenas, Kevin Martin, or even rookie Oladipo, the three are completely enough, and Oladipo can also play the No. 1 and No. 3 positions, at least the Pelicans don't have to worry about the starting lineup next season.

After getting Martin, the salary space was further compressed, and fortunately, there was still a full middle class that was useless.

On July 27, another shocking deal was made in the summer, with the Boston Celtics the main character of the deal, and the Green Shirts sent away the remaining two of the Big Three.

On July 27, according to Yahoo Sports reporter Derian Wonaroski, in the sky, the league had a shocking transaction!

The Nets and Celtics have reached a deal involving eight players and three first-round picks, in which Garnett, Pierce and Terry will all go to Brooklyn.

It was revealed that the Nets will send three future first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018, in addition to the expiring contracts of Reggie Evans, Shengria, and Humphries, in addition to using a sign-and-trade to send Bogans; In addition to sending Garnett and Pierce, the Celtics will also send away Jason Terry.

Previously, the final obstacle to the deal was whether Garnett was willing to give up his veto on the deal, but in the end, this plan was agreed to by KG, and the big deal was announced.

It has been revealed that the Nets have guaranteed that they will not buy out Garnett's contract in the 2014-15 season, which also means that KG will receive a full guaranteed salary of $12 million, and the Celtics have been entangled in Pierce's contract, according to the regulations, they will either execute the "truth" by June 30 to execute the "truth" next season's full $15.3 million contract, or must buy him out for $5 million, and in the end, the Green Shirts made a trade choice.

After trading to the second elder of the Green Army. The Nets' roster is also extremely luxurious, they make up eight of the most gorgeous All-Star level players in history, namely Garnett, Pierce, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez, David Lee and Andrei Kirilenko, and the biggest name Carmelo Anthony, which also gives the team a chance to call any team to a championship, but at the same time, the total salary of only seven stars has reached $112 million, and the new season will inevitably pay a high luxury tax.

The Celtics made the deal to officially declare the end of the giant era, and the Green Shirts could trade to create salary space while using their three future first-round picks to make a fuss. Enter the rebuilding phase.

When talking about the deal, former Green Army coach Rivers also felt deeply:

"I knew it was going to come, and for the last 3-4 weeks Danny Angie has been talking to me about this and I know these things are going to happen, and it's definitely the end of an era, a sentimental chapter."

The Nets' frenzied signings have scared all the teams, and although Garnett and Pierce are out of breath, they are still in shape. The Nets only lost to the Bulls last season, and this season, it will be difficult for any team to beat the Nets.

The Nets have become the Real Madrid of basketball, a huge and gorgeous aircraft carrier.

The same. Other powerhouses in the East have also begun to strengthen themselves, and on July 28, Yahoo Sports headline Voyanalowski revealed that the Suns' deal with the Pacers has been completed. Scola joins Pacers; The Suns acquired former dunk champion Gerard Green, last year's 26th pick in the first round, rookie Miles Plumlee, and a protected first-round pick in 2014.

For the Pacers, this deal will undoubtedly give the team a big boost on the inside. After retaining the inside combination of Hibbert and West. The addition of Scola adds depth to the squad. Last season, Scola averaged 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and he is still very skilled. In the six seasons he has been in the NBA, the Argentine actor has averaged 14.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

For the Pacers, the price the team paid in this trade is not huge, Green averaged 7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game last season, and in the playoffs, Green has been excluded from the main rotation except for some playing time in the series with the Hawks, and has few opportunities against the Knicks and the Heat.

Scola is expected to earn $4.5 million a year for the new season, while Green is $3.5 million, with both players on contracts until 2015. The annual salary for the 14-15 season is the same as the annual salary for the new season.

Plumlee's annual salary for the new season is 1.07 million, and he averaged 0.9 points and 1.6 rebounds per game last season, which is basically negligible.

In a way, the deal is seen as a challenge to eastern hegemony. Dime magazine pointed out that Scola's joining the Pacers is a threat to the defending champions. And Alex Kennedy, a reporter for "Basket World", said bluntly that the Pacers already have a very deep lineup.

The main team consists of Hill, Stephenson, George, West and Hibbert; The bench consisted of Granger, Watson, Scola, Copland, Masimmy and Johnson. And Granger can also mention the starting position as the case may be, partnering George.

And on the Western side, reinforcements are also continuing, and in the contract extension with Ginobili, the Spurs have reached a contract extension agreement in principle with Tiago Split, which is a four-year, $36 million contract extension.

In addition to the Spurs, the Trail Blazers are Split's strongest suitors, and they have also offered contracts with an annual salary similar to that of the Spurs. Spurs have already made an offer to Split for a contract that they can match with offers from other teams for the same price.

It is reported that Spurs and Split's agents have agreed on most of the details of the contract extension agreement.

Split has verbally agreed to stay in San Antonio. In the just-concluded 2012-2013 season, Split averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game.

According to ESPN, the Golden State Warriors have not slowed down their reinforcements after the failed pursuit of Iguodala, and Jermaine O'Neal has agreed to accept a one-year contract offer from the Warriors. Former Rockets point guard Tony Douglas will also join the Warriors.

Last season, Jermaine O'Neal, who played for the Suns, averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. Plagued by injuries, he made 55 appearances in the regular season last season, the second-highest attendance rate in the past 10 years. Although O'Neal Jr. also considered joining the Dallas Mavericks this summer, he eventually accepted the contract offered by the Warriors.

In addition, former Rockets backup point guard Tony Douglas also accepted a contract offer from the Warriors. However, the exact amount of the contract has not been disclosed.

Tony Douglas was the No. 29 pick in the first round in 2009. Douglas was traded to the Rockets last summer and has been on Jeremy Lin's bench since the start of last season. In 49 games for the Rockets last season, Douglas averaged 8.1 points per game. However, before the mid-season trade deadline, he was traded to the Sacramento Kings in a trade involving Thomas Robinson, the No. 5 rookie in the first round last year.

Now joining the Golden State Warriors, Douglas is expected to be Stephen Corey's backup. The Warriors, who had a good schedule last season, are now making a big splash in the free agent market, and although they didn't get Iguodala, the strength of the roster has improved rapidly.

Although the Warriors lost Landry and Jack this summer, with the addition of O'Neal Jr. and Douglas, the Warriors' bench depth is assured.

And Jack joined the Cavaliers at No. 27. He reached a four-year, $25 million deal with the Cavaliers to join Cleveland, and Jack's new backcourt partner was replaced by Kyrie Irving.

Last season, Jack's salary reached $5.4 million, and according to the collective bargaining agreement, if he renewed, his new contract will start at $8.1 million, and for the Warriors, who are under huge salary pressure, they will eventually have to give up.

Jack is arguably the number one player on the Warriors' bench. Under Mark Jackson's tactical system, his characteristics have also been fully exploited, and in last season's regular season, Jack played in 79 games. Four of those starts, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game, and in the playoffs, Jack completed a big transformation. Averaging 17.2 points, 4.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game, he also impressed with his big heart and solid shooting in key moments.

Jack's role on the Cavaliers will be similar to the previous one. With the Warriors, he formed a three-guard rotation with Corey and Klay Thompson, and in Cleveland, Jack will form a three-guard rotation with Irving and 2012 No. 4 pick Vitesse, where he may still play the role of Sixth Man of the Year.

In addition to losing Jack, the Warriors also lost Karl Landry to return to the throne for four years and $26 million. After a successful season, the Warriors have undoubtedly completed a major change.

On July 28, according to Yahoo Sports, the Los Angeles Clippers have completed a three-way trade with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns, and the Clippers giants Caron Butler and Bledsoe have been sent away.

Last season's first-round playoff exit changed the Clippers' resolve, and it was no surprise that aging Caron Butler and the unscrupulous Bledsoe were traded away from the Cavaliers. The Clippers will send Bledsoe and Butler to the Suns, get Dudley from the Suns and JJ Redick from the Bucks in exchange for two second-round picks.

The Clippers who sent away Caron Butler and Bledsoe got Dudley and JJ Redick, who is known for his three-point shooting, and Redick's arrival will undoubtedly make the Clippers' outside configuration more luxurious, Redick, who switched from the Magic to the Bucks last season, averaged 14.1 points per game and shot 36.6% from three-point range. The arrival of Dudley has bolstered the Clippers' forward line, with the all-round player averaging 10.9 points per game last season and shooting 39.1 percent from three-point range.

As for the Suns, they sent away Dudley, and they got Butler and Bledsoe, two big players, for the Suns' bombardment system, the addition of these two players is very suitable, Butler can provide enough outside firepower for the outside on the wing, and Bledsoe's speed is also in line with the Suns' running and bombing ideas.

Although Butler, who played for the Clippers last season, is 33 years old, he still averages 10.4 points per game and shoots 38.8% from three-point range. And Bledsoe's average of 8.5 points per game can also provide the Suns with some instant ability.

The Suns will build the future with Alex Lane, the No. 5 pick picked in the draft, as the core of the future, and as another team in a three-way trade, the Bucks used Redick, whose original contract expired, to acquire two picks in this round of the draft in a sign-and-trade manner, which can be described as an empty glove White Wolves. In this deal. All three teams achieved their goals, with the Clippers completing the purge, the Suns getting the players on the spot, and the Bucks earning draft picks.

The deal didn't have anything to do with the Pelicans, but the Suns cut Caron Butler after the trade.

The Pelicans acted quickly, Li Feng and Arenas lobbied continuously, and Caron Butler finally agreed to join the Pelicans with a base salary, and the Pelicans did not have to worry about Li Feng running out of substitutes for the new season.

Caron Butler can be described as a very standard small forward, and the definition of a small forward in modern basketball is probably inseparable from keywords such as "scoring", "breaking", "fast breaking", "outside shooting", "outside defense", "sharing part of the rebounding task", etc., then Kaloon Butler is such a standard small forward representative.

The 33-year-old Butler has been repeatedly compared to Paul Pearce. As strong as Pierce, he is even better at running and jumping, but in terms of technical details, he is still quite far behind Pierce, who is known for his all-round and flashy offensive skills.

The former power forward experience has honed Caron's skillful low-post offensive skills, and he has the top back-frame ability among outside players; The shot feels good, and the open opportunities are fairly accurate, but the technical details are still not refined; Aggressive, but correspondingly, occasionally acting as a black hole on the pitch. The ability to handle the ball needs to be improved urgently.

And now, the Pelicans need not only Butler's experience, but also Butler's hard work, at the same time. He can also coach rookie Oladipo so that Oladipo can improve better.

The Pelicans weren't satisfied with signing Butler, and soon they dug the Bulls' horns. Signed Paul's backup DJ Augustin last season, and then the Pelicans signed the former Warriors' main player. Latvian Biedrins and forward swingman Wesley Johnson and Ryan Gomez.

The Pelicans' mid-range clause has not yet been used, and then, they have signed defensive expert Ronnie Brewer in part of the mid-range, and on July 29, the Pelicans' official website announced that the team officially signed outside defensive expert Ronnie Brewer on a two-year contract.

More than a week ago, it was reported in the media that the Pelicans and guard swingman Ronnie Brewer had reached an agreement. After a recent medical check-up for Brewer, the Pelicans finally officially signed with him today, and according to previous reports, Brewer was given a two-year partial guaranteed contract.

The 28-year-old, 2.01-meter-tall and 103-kilogram man can play as a shooting guard and small forward, and after being drafted 14th in the first round in 2006, Brewer has played for the Jazz, Grizzlies, Bulls, Thunder and Knicks in his previous career. In his career, Brewer played in 478 games, including 301 starts, and averaged 8.2 points, 3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.29 steals per game.

Brilliant is an athletic player who is known for his defensive prowess, his ability to defend three positions in the game, and his ability to assist and fill in the pitches effectively, as a mobile backfielder, he has a very fast start, excellent first steps, and eye-catching jumping ability, while his excellent reach also allows him to take advantage of the defensive position and effectively control his own area. In the new season, Brewer will share the defensive pressure for Rose and Arenas.

For joining the Pelicans, Brewer is also quite excited.

"The Pelicans are the team I want to go to, and I think my style of play is a perfect fit for this team."

Brewer said,

'I'm here and I'm going to give it my all and contribute to the team.'

The Pelicans' lineup for the new season is officially released:

Centre-forwards: Al Jefferson, Andris Biedrins.

Power forwards: Paul Millsap, Elton Brand, Jason Marc Hill.

Small forwards: Li Feng, Kaloon Butler, Wesley Johnson, Ryan Gomez

Shooting guards: Gilbert Arenas, Kevin Martin, Ronnie Brewer, Victor Oladipo

Point guards: Derrick Rose, DJ Augustin. (To be continued......)
