In this offseason, fans saw the hope of domestic players returning to the NBA, and Choi Yong-hee relied on the performance of the summer league to be recognized by the Nets and joined the Nets. Although it is said that it is because of Tsai Chongxin, so Xiao Cui entered the NBA, but there is one thing to say, if Xiao Cui is not capable, the Nets will not win him, after all, this team is not Cai Chongxin alone, although he is a big boss, but there are many shareholders.
Tsai Chongxin also talked about Xiao Cui in an interview before, he said: If you bring in a Chinese player and he doesn't have the strength, then the signing is meaningless, if he can't play, I will be criticized, but if he can do it, then this signing is very meaningful. It can be seen that Tsai Chongxin is also looking forward to Xiao Cui, and the Nets in the new season are an opportunity for Xiao Cui, because now that the Nets have been rebuilt, many young people will get more balls because of this.
In the offseason, the Nets sent Bridges away, and they began a rebuild, and the team will be built around Cameron Thomas and Claxton in the new season, both of whom are considered by the Nets to be the core of the new season, or players worth developing, and the Nets may not develop them to eventually keep them, or they may be traded, but for the Nets and these two players, they have achieved their purpose, and that is enough.
And now it seems that the Nets will have a lot of moves next, according to American media reports, they put Bojan and Schroder on the shelf, after the team put Finney Smith and Cameron Johnson on the shelf, seeing this, everyone may say, why didn't Cameron Johnson trade away such a good 3D? It is true that there are many teams willing to ask for Cameron Johnson, but the problem is that he is too expensive, and the Nets are asking for at least two high-pick first-rounders.
In other words, the Nets may want two unprotected first-round picks, Cameron Johnson is one of the best 3D players in the active league, able to defend multiple positions, and can also open up space to provide stable output, such players are hard to dislike, Cameron Johnson averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game last season, with a three-point shooting rate of 39%, and can hit 2.4 three-pointers per game.
Although Schroder was questioned before because of the salary cap with the Lakers, his ability is still very good, one of the best bench backcourts in the current service, with stable projection and organizational skills, but the defense is not good, Schroder averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game last season, with a three-point shooting rate of 37%, and an average of 1.5 three-pointers per game.
Finney Smith is out of contract next summer, he can't renew his contract with the Nets at all, and in this case, the team can only trade him, Finney Smith is one of the best 3D forwards in the active league, his defense is very good, and the three-point shooting is also relatively reliable, and the Mavericks may win the championship last season with him. Finneysmith averaged 8.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28 minutes per game last season.
Bojan is the shooter they traded Bridges, Bojan is the top shooter in the league, although he lost his value in the Knicks last season, but his performance in the past few years is obvious to all, he is the kind of player who can ignore the offensive environment for three-point killing, last season Bojan averaged 15.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, 40% three-point shooting rate, and can hit 2.3 three-pointers per game, if you give him to the Clippers or Lakers, let Harden and James feed him, an average of 18+ per gameNot a big problem.
And Bojan is estimated to ask for a first-round pick, he is worth the price, after the start of the new season, the Nets will also be committed to sending them away, because the team has no place for them, and the trade will not only allow the Nets to get more draft picks, but also free up salary space for future operations, it is worth mentioning that in the 25 offseason, the Nets will have 100 million salary space, and they may bring in reinforcements in 25, because many players have become free agents in 25, such as Irving and Butler and so on.
Irving is unlikely to come to the Nets, but the American media has previously revealed that if the Heat will not renew Butler's contract, he regards the Nets as his ideal home, if they can introduce Butler, they have a chance to rise immediately, in the 22-23 season playoffs, Butler averaged 27 points and 6 rebounds per game, and his performance was completely at the top star level. And the Nets still have 16 first-round picks in hand, and the trade can also dominate, 25 years will be very important for the Nets, and whether Xiao Cui can seize the opportunity of the new season is also the key to whether he can stay in the NBA for a long time.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Nets? Will they be able to trade away the four puzzle pieces? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
