Hello basketball fans! Today we bring you a series of blockbuster news, the following are the specific contents:
1. Choi Yong-hee officially signed a training camp contract with the Trailblazers
First, let's focus on a young player from China, Choi Yong-hee. He recently signed a training camp contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, which means Choi Jr. will have the opportunity to show what he's made in Summer League and preseason. Although the Pacers, Jazz and Nets also threw an olive branch to him, Choi Yong-hee ultimately chose the Trail Blazers. Last season, Choi Yong-hee performed well for the CBA Guangzhou Lions, averaging 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 45.5% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range. For the Trail Blazers management, they are very much looking forward to Choi's performance in Summer League, and if he can play the desired results, it is not ruled out that he will be offered a two-way contract, or even a full NBA contract. For Choi, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to show himself, and I hope he can seize this opportunity and start his NBA career.
Second, the Nuggets would rather lose Pope for nothing than sign a cheap opponent with the Mavericks
Next, let's take a look at the dynamics of the Nuggets and the Mavericks. According to a report by Marc Stein of The Athletic, the Mavericks are very interested in Nuggets player Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. However, the Nuggets don't seem willing to make a sign-and-trade deal with the Mavericks, who just replaced themselves as Western Conference champions. Pope is expected to test the waters of free agency by declining the $15.4 million player option. On the one hand, the Nuggets don't want to cheapen their competitors; On the other hand, it also means that they may lose Pop for nothing. This option is not uncommon in the league, after all, every team is reluctant to bolster their rivals.
Three, Reddick is ready to raise Brownie
For the third piece of news, let's focus on the growth of Bronny James. Lakers general manager Pelinka revealed that Redick and his coaching staff have developed a detailed development plan for Bronny, with the goal of developing him into an elite player who can play well both offensively and defensively. Bronny is only 19 years old and has a long road ahead of him. Former Warriors general manager Bob Myers also said that Bronny has the potential to be a great NBA player, but we shouldn't expect him to succeed right away. After all, he didn't have a full season last season and it's going to be a great thing to look forward to.
