On the morning of July 2, Beijing time, it was reported that various teams in the NBA offseason continued to sign reinforcements, and the successive blockbuster news was also quite crazy. The so-called bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, many clubs are in careful planning, and then the editor will sort them out for you one by one.
Klay signed and then traded to the Mavericks
According to ESPN's Woj, Klay will join the Mavericks through a sign-and-trade deal, joining the Eastern European group to form a big three. Klay's contract is three years and $50 million, with no player or team options. This also means that Klay did not choose the two-year 50 million contract offered by the Warriors, which is ironclad.
It is worth mentioning that Klay has been with the Warriors for 13 years and has won a total of 4 championships, and in the 2023-24 season, Klay played in 77 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 43.2% from the field. With the departure of Klay, the familiar "Splash Brothers" officially disintegrated, on the other hand, the Mavericks have Klay joined, that is, the super triumvirate of Doncic + Irving + Klay, and the Mavericks are aiming for the championship.
On the contrary, the Lakers sent James to recruit, but it still failed, and several players that the Lakers liked were snatched away by other teams, and the Lakers suffered a big loss.
Tatum renewed his contract with a 5-year, 315 million super cap salary
According to Chris Haynes, Jayson Tatum's five-year, $315 million super-cap salary extension to the Celtics is just waiting for the official announcement, which is also the largest contract in NBA history (surpassing teammate Jaylen Brown's five-year $304 million). I have to say that this is also the best proof of Tatum's strength.
As the Celtics' double probe, Tatum and Brown brought the team to the Finals again last season, Tatum's performance in the playoffs was still very good, averaging 25 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, helping the team win the 18th championship, but unfortunately lost to Brown in the selection of the Eastern Conference MVP and the Finals MVP, but it should be said that Tatum's ability is still good, and this salary extension also means that the Celtics will continue to win the championship.
The 35-year-old Tatum made a 9.6 million return to the Clippers in two years
According to a report from Woj, the 35-year-old veteran Batum returned to the Clippers for two years and $9.6 million, after all, the 76ers signed Paul George with a maximum salary, which also means that some leftovers will leave. On the Clippers side, George left, Plumlee also left, and Harden's contract extension is only 2 years and 70 million, and it must be a good deal to strengthen Batum at the front. In addition, the backup guard is Kevin Porter Jr., who chooses to play overseas, and the other is to send away Wei Shao and Tucker, the lineup is more reasonable, and the Clippers still want to play well next season.
Derrick White signed a four-year, $125.9 million extension with the Celtics
This season, the Celtics can win the championship, and the double probe and Holiday are important, but White has also performed very well, averaging double digits per game and making many key steals in the Finals.
As one of the heroes who won the championship, he has a strong presence on both offensive and defensive ends of the playoffs, and can not only lead the opponent's core guard in key battles, but also provide firepower output on the offensive end. The Celtics have been smart in the offseason, keeping the same team that won last season's championship and waiting for the platinum to return from injury, and they will continue to challenge for the 19th championship in franchise history next season.
Guard Melton plans to join the Warriors for 12.8 million in one year
According to the latest reports, guard Melton plans to join the Warriors, and in the 2023-24 season, Melton played in 38 regular season games for the 76ers, averaging 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. I have to say that the Warriors cut Paul, and there is a shortage of guards on the guard side, but is it necessary to choose another short guard?
