In the NBA offseason, the selection of a second-round pick will continue (as of the time of writing), and the adjustments and trades of their respective teams are continuing in the meantime, with some players choosing to refuse to exercise their player options to test the free market, and new news coming out from the Warriors, let's take a look at the specific situation. Only one night: Warriors 3-for-1, Klay has new progress, 209 million signings are reached, and Pope rejects the Nuggets.

Let's take a look at the trades that involve quite a few second-round picks, the first being ESPN's report that the Atlanta Hawks traded forward AJ Griffin to the Houston Rockets for the 44th pick. The Timberwolves traded Wendell Moore and the 37th pick of the draft to the Pistons in exchange for the 53rd pick of the draft. Let's take a look at the news from the Nuggets. According to Shams sources, the Nuggets and Murray are trying to sign a four-year contract worth $209 million in the offseason, and both sides are hoping to reach an agreement, which is not much of an issue at the moment. Last season, he averaged 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 48.1% from the field and 42.5% from three-point range. But in the playoffs, his form slipped significantly. He averaged only 20.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, shooting 40.2% from the field and 31.5% from three-point range. was one of the reasons why the Nuggets were eliminated, but the team still chose to try to keep Murray and offer him a new contract.

The second is that it is not very friendly to the Nuggets, according to Shams report sources, Nuggets guard Pope rejected the player option of $15.4 million in the 24~25 season, and will become a free agent to test the free market. Pop, an important part of the two-time NBA championship, is undoubtedly helpful to the team, last season in the playoffs he averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 39.5% from the field and 32.7% from three-point range.

He is expected to be interested in a number of teams with salary space, including the 76ers and the Magic. According to sources, the Magic are willing to offer Pope a salary contract of at least two years and 50 million. Do you think Pope will choose to return to the Nuggets or join another team?

Next, let's look at a three-for-one trade, according to ESPN, sources revealed that the Kings traded Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vecchikov and the 45th pick to the Raptors in exchange for Jalen McDaniels. The Kings selected guard Devin Carter in the first round of the draft. Mitchell played 72 games for the team in the regular season, averaging 5.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 15.3 minutes per game, while Wikinkov said in June that he wanted the team to trade or cut him, and he played 42 games for the team, averaging 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game. Jalen McDaniels, the older brother of Jaden McDaniels of the Timberwolves, played 50 games for the Raptors in the regular season, averaging 10.8 minutes per game and averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds. This deal has no big impact on the strength of the team, and the main operational significance is to clear space.

The rest of the news was about the Warriors, first of all, the Warriors completed a trade with the Thunder, who traded Waters III to the Warriors in exchange for the 52nd draft pick. In the regular season, Waters played 38 games for the Thunder, averaging 3.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per game. The Warriors were revealed to plan to exercise Waters' team option for next season. With a salary of $2.2 million for the upcoming season, he hopes he can be a deep rotation option for the team. It is worth mentioning that although his data base last season was not large, in terms of performance, he averaged a 3-point shot per game in the regular season, with a 3-point shooting rate of 43.5%, and is a player with projection. After the trade was completed, the Warriors did not have a pick for this draft.

There's also new news coming out of Clay's side. According to Matt Moore, the Magic team is willing to offer Klay Thompson a short-term high-salary contract, with a two-year contract with a total price starting at 50 million; The direction of the original Magic offseason was clearly looking for ways to improve their offense. Do you think Klay will choose to leave the team or accept a contract from the Warriors and choose to stay with the Warriors?
