According to the latest report of foreign media BR, the core jaylen Brunson of the Lone Ranger backcourt hopes to get a 4-year long contract, and the specific amount of the new contract cannot be less than $80 million. Referring to Brunson's comprehensive performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends this season, he averaged 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, shooting as high as 50.5%, in the eyes of many NBA team executives, Brunson's asking price for himself is not high, even if the Lone Ranger finally chooses to give up, there will still be a large number of teams willing to meet Brunson's appetite.
It's important to note that previous sources indicate that Lone Ranger management is considering whether it will be necessary to keep both Brunson and Finney Smith in the future, both of whom will become free agents this summer. In addition to the above news update about the Lone Ranger, there are 3 more reports worth sharing with you: Congratulations to the Lakers, turner trading ushered in a reversal! Nash prepares to straighten out the rebounding monster, and Clay speaks harshly.
The first is the Pacers, as the trade deadline of the season approaches, the Pacers who have been opening the player supermarket for a long time finally can't hold back, according to NBA reporter Michael Scotto, the Pacers lowered the price of several players, 1 potential rookie + 1 first-round pick can be changed to LeVert; Turner's list price is no longer an All-Star player, but 2 first-round picks.
From the follow-up reports of a number of media, it is understood that although it is impossible to get 2 first-round picks for a while, this does not mean that the Lakers are completely out, and the Cavaliers are willing to indirectly "help" the Lakers through a three-way transaction, which is a huge reversal of the entire situation of the Turner transaction. It is reported that the preliminary plan of the three-way transaction is that the Lakers get Turner, the Pacers get Rubio + 1 first-round pick from the Lakers + 1 first-round pick from the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers get Tucker + Nunn. There are indications that pacers will prioritize the above trading options until there are no better offers.
Then there is the Nets, as we all know, in the previous big deal about Harden, the Nets sent a large number of first-round picks, resulting in the Nets general manager Max is now strong enough, even if they see the favorite people in the free market, the Nets do not have enough chips to help Max negotiate a deal, under such a premise, the Nets who want to improve the competitiveness of the championship can only think of ways from the existing lineup.
The source comes from NBA reporter Billy Reinhardt, with the past 4 games of excellent performance, averaging 12.5 points + 7.5 rebounds per game, the Nets 20-year-old Sharp has won the trust of head coach Nash, Nash is ready to completely correct this rebounding monster, in the next game, Sharp will get more starting opportunities. To be more, although he is only a rookie rookie, Sharp has cashed in on his talent in rebounding. If the playing time is converted into 36 minutes, then Sharp can grab 14.2 rebounds per game, which is enough to match the top centers in the NBA such as Gobert and Jokic, and I have to admit that Sharp does deserve more playing time.
Finally, the Warriors, Green and Curry have been injured consecutively, plus Klay has returned from a major injury, and the Warriors, who once led the league this season, have recently encountered a trough, with only 2 wins in the last 7 games, slipping to no. 2 in the West, 2.5 wins behind the Suns.
The Warriors did not perform well, the second boss Klay was questioned from the outside world, the data shows that since the return from injury, Clay's hand on the offensive end is very bad, no game shooting rate is more than 40%, so some people suspect that Clay can not play the return of the king like Durant. In the face of those who questioned his voices, in an earlier interview with the media, Clay threatened that it was not his normal level at all, he was very confident in his ability to adjust, please give him a little more time, wait until the good brothers Curry and Green returned healthy, if he still played so badly, then you will come to judge again. Do you think that Clay, who has experienced 2 major injuries, can he honor the harsh words he released? Welcome to leave a message to discuss, thank you for reading and paying attention.
