At 6:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 1, the NBA player free market officially opened, and all teams are working hard to upgrade their lineups.
1. George's next home is clear, staying with the Clippers or going to the 76ers, the latter is more likely. The 76ers are willing to give a four-year contract with a maximum salary of 212 million, which is full of sincerity, and the 76ers have the strength to impact the championship. If he stays with the Clippers, George can only sign a 3-year, 152 million contract, and it seems that the Clippers are not so serious and active in renewing the contract with George, and the negotiations seem to have broken down.
2. The Mavericks lead the battle for Klay, and after the news of Klay's decision to leave the Warriors spread, the Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers and 76ers all expressed active interest, especially the Mavericks. From a practical point of view, it is true that the Mavericks are more likely, because they have a 16.1 million trade exception to use, the Lakers and Clippers have a 12.8 million mid-range exception, and the 76ers only have 14 million salary space left if they sign George first.
Judging from the team's situation, Klay is undoubtedly more sensible to join the Mavericks, after all, there are Doncic and the two big passers, and he will get more space and opportunities to shoot.
Klay played in 77 games last season, averaging 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 43.2 percent from the field.
3. Paul, a 39-year-old veteran who had just been cut by the Warriors, turned around and found his next home, going to the San Antonio Spurs to join Wembanyama, Paul's experience is believed to help the future superstar, with a contract of 1 year and 11 million.
4. Eric Gordon has agreed to sign a contract with the 76ers to continue his championship quest in the East.
5. Champion guard Pope joined the Magic for 66 million in 3 years, and the player option in the third year, and the value of winning the championship is bullish.
