The adjustment of the team every offseason is often from the team's coaching staff and lineup to make adjustments, this season is the same, many of the team's head coaches have been dismissed, of course, there are also teams that are more satisfied with the current head coach to complete the contract extension, for example, Tyronn Lue and the Clippers have reached a contract extension, in addition to the team has completed the renewal of the core players in the team, and sent a contract with a maximum salary. Let's take a look at the specific news. Only one night: West Asia signed 189 million, Monty was out of class for 78.5 million a year, and James had a new statement.
The first is Siakam's agreement with the Pacers. Last season, the Pacers were the dark horses in the Eastern Conference standings, making it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and although they were eventually eliminated by their opponents in the series against the Celtics, they were undeniably doing well. An important part of the season for the team is to complete the signing of Siakam, after all, the team wanted him to stay with the team after the trade got him. So that the team can continue to be competitive.
Siakam was able to contribute 21.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists to the team in the regular season for half a season, and he became the team's top scorer in the playoffs, averaging 21.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game to help the team reach the division finals. After the season, the two sides finally agreed on a four-year, $189.5 million contract extension. For the Pacers, they've done the most important part of their offseason operation, and there will certainly be other adjustments as well. However, it is widely believed that the team will not make big moves. Whether they will bring in a team with Siakam and Haliburton as the core is still unknown.
The Pistons, who are at the bottom of the league, have completed the dismissal of the head coach, according to ESPN reporters reported that the Pistons fired Monty, they once signed Monty to a six-year 7850 contract, but after only one season, the team's performance was not ideal, and he was eventually fired by the team. The search for a new head coach will be opened immediately. Interestingly, since being fired by the Suns, Monty originally planned to take a season off to deal with his wife's cancer, but the Pistons then approached Monty to offer him a high-priced contract and promised to provide Monty's wife with medical conditions, and finally Monty and the Pistons reached a contract.
Monty, who is on a max contract, didn't lead the Pistons to the results they wanted, and they had just 14 wins in the regular season, the fewest in the league. It also has the longest losing streak in history, while having the worst home and away record in the league. It was worth just one season before Monty was fired again. Of course, his contract salary will not be less than a point, and then Monty should rest for a while, after all, he can lie down and get tens of millions. I don't know if the Pistons regretted finding Monty in the first place.
One of the pieces of news that is getting closer to the draft is Bronny's situation. After all, it's partly about James' movements, most likely. According to ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony, sources from six teams have revealed to ESPN that they are interested in trying out Bronny, but he has a hard time making a date. In addition to the Suns and Lakers, who have already tried out, there are also Timberwolves, Mavericks, and Raptors who are interested in Bronny.
Rich Paul also talked about saying that James has given up on the idea of playing alongside Bronny, and that is how it can be done, and there is no agreement that guarantees that if the Lakers draft Bronny with the 55th pick, James will renew his contract with the Lakers, and he is very likely to be. Choose to jump out of your contract and become a free agent. Bronny has previously said that his mentality is not to play with his father, but to step into the NBA stage.
What pick do you think Bronny will end up picking in? Will he influence James' future decisions? Will James stay with the Lakers?
