The pre-season is just around the corner, and for the fans, there's finally a game to watch, and for the teams around the league, they're going to get busy. In recent times, there have been all kinds of big deals, as well as some small signings. Of course, there are some recent developments that we need to pay attention to, so let's take a look today. Durant officially confirmed that James ordered directly, the champion was upgraded again, and Lillard set a target.
This offseason, many supergiants have completed contract extensions, and Curry has continued to go down with the team. Durant, as a veteran supergiant, can actually renew his contract in advance. When it comes to contract renewals, Durant has also officially confirmed it. Durant bluntly said that he still has two years left on his contract, and he will figure it out when the time comes. In fact, with Durant's strength and popularity, there is no problem with giving the top salary for another year, and it is also a very cost-effective existence.
The Lakers offseason is hard to say, and for a player like James, it is a waste of the last few years. When James talked about the new season, it can be said that he gave a direct order. James bluntly said that last season's switching defensive performance was too bad, and that he must do better in the new season. Actually, it's not wrong, just look at how they execute. In the end, there are too few defensive resources, and it will be interesting to see what the new manager can do and whether he will think of more strategies.
Wembanyama is a player who has proven himself in his rookie season and can be described as a huge success. If he wants to continue to substitute himself, he must change in all aspects. Judging from the relevant information, Wembanyama's side has been upgraded again, and his weight has increased to 106.6 kilograms, compared to 95 kilograms when he entered the alliance before. After Wembanyama gains weight, he will have an advantage in confrontation, and I am looking forward to his performance in the new season, and the block king can be booked in advance.
Lillard's first season with the Bucks actually didn't fully realize his value, mainly because he stepped down from the position of the boss and has not yet adapted to the team's second place. When talking about the new season, Lillard has also set goals. Lillard has no way of hiding it, saying that his teammates and coaches will see his true self in the new season. For the Bucks, Lillard's performance dictates the team's ceiling, and we can expect that.
Regarding the fact that James father and son are on the same stage, there is also news that we need to pay attention to, that is, they are expected to complete their appearance on the same stage on the opening night. In fact, if you think about it, it is better to do this sooner rather than later, so that the team can do other things. To be expected, Bronny will spend more of his time in the Development League this season. Of course, the first Lakers game of the new season will start on October 23 against the Timberwolves.
