On February 16, Beijing time, the NBA trading deadline has passed, the opportunity to strengthen is only the buyout market, just this past night, the first "big fish" of the buyout market appeared, Dragic and the Spurs officially reached a buyout, was robbed by 6 teams; the Rockets will be rookie Player Daishin Knicks contract regular, the Nets veteran Bembry successfully re-employed, will reach a contract with the defending champion Bucks.
The Spurs officially cut Dragic
The Spurs officially announced that the team officially cut guard Goran Dragic. The two sides reached a buyout agreement, and after a 48-hour clarification period, he will become a full free agent, with the option to join teams other than the Spurs and Raptors. Previously, the Spurs struck a deal with the Raptors on the trade deadline, and Dragic joined the Spurs, playing only 5 games for the Raptors this season, averaging 18 minutes per game and having 8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists.
Don't look at Dragic's state is sluggish, but his market is very good, 6 teams are interested in him, namely: Lakers, Warriors, Clippers, Bucks, Nets, Bulls, are all powerful teams. They have an active pursuit of Dragic, believing that he is in good condition and can contribute to the team very quickly. The next thing is to see which team can impress him, after all, every team has the same opportunity, the main thing is to see Dragic's choice.
The Rockets turned to Daishin Knicks
The Rockets have officially announced that the team will convert rookie Deschen Knicks' two-way contract into a standard NBA contract, and the two sides signed a four-year contract. The Knicks, who lost the draft last year and are only 20 years old, have played more in the Development League this season, playing just 8 games for the Rockets, averaging 8.4 minutes per game and having 3.8 points and 1.3 assists.
The Bucks will sign for Bemburi
After Harden and Simmons reached a swap, the Nets had to choose to cut Bembry in order to meet the needs of the lineup, and he quickly found the next one. It is reported that the Bucks are close to signing free agent Bemburi until the end of the season, continuing to improve the depth of the lineup. Bemburi has played in 48 games for the Nets this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1 steal per game. Maybe the data is not gorgeous, but he is very tenacious on the court, the defense is proactive, and I really can't understand why the Nets want to cut him.
