Recently, the NBA free trade market has suddenly become lively, and it has involved many championship favorites, including the Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors, Westbrook, Thompson, George and James, which have caused widespread heated discussions.
The first is that Westbrook chose to execute his $4 million contract with the Clippers next season, which is a very good deal, but it is a loss-making deal for Westbrook. Although Westbrook has declined badly in recent years, it is not a 4 million contract that can get rid of him, and don't forget that he was the triple-double champion and MVP winner of the year. As the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, Westbrook executes such a small contract, but Paul George insists on a big contract, refuses to execute the contract of nearly 50 million next season, and directly chooses to seek a new contract.
The same approach as Paul George is also the Warriors' Klay Thompson, as one of the splash brothers of the year, the league's famous 3D championship puzzle, Thompson's strength is obvious to all, but after the major injury, Thompson has declined greatly, especially in the past two seasons. Warriors management didn't want to waste Curry's last championship time. Thompson insisted on asking for a big contract, and the two sides have failed to reach the goal in negotiations many times, and even a very big rift has appeared, and many media outlets have revealed that Thompson has broken down his relationship with the Warriors.
George and Thompson are both asking for big contracts, but James has chosen the same path as Westbrook. Maybe it's because seeing that his eldest son Bronny has successfully entered the NBA, James once again ignited the goal of chasing the fifth championship in his career, or to return the Lakers to face and favor. The media revealed that James was willing to choose a salary cut to help the team grab people in the free market, and the longing Murray has been cut off by the Pelicans, and the next Lakers can no longer miss any powerful players, otherwise they can only return to the old way again.
This is just the first few days of the free market, and there is so much news that presumably in the coming days, the free market is bound to be like a huge wave, and any transaction can happen.
