Officially announced, NBA news continues, involving 3 teams, let's analyze them one by one. In a nutshell, it is one sentence: official announcement! The Suns signed a 22+5 guard, the No. 6 pick in the first round returned, and Mr. 72 million was put on the shelf. First of all, the Suns signed guard. Although the Suns defeated the Warriors in their last game, four of their starting five last season did not play, and Paul, Ayton, Booker, and Cameron Johnson all had injuries, so the Suns urgently need to replenish the roster, after all, it is impossible to be as lucky as the last game in every game.
This time, they added a guard, a 188cm tall point guard, Saben Lee. This Saben Lee is a rookie in 2020, when he was selected by the Pistons with the 38th pick in the second round, and then he played two seasons in the Pistons, averaging 5.6 points and 3.4 assists per game, and his assist ability was not bad. He was then traded to the Jazz, then cut, joined the Suns, and was cut two months later, and now that the Suns are short of manpower, they thought of the down-to-earth guard and signed him back with a 10-day short-term contract.
Let's talk about the comeback of the first-round rookie. The No. 6 pick in the first round of 2017, Jonathan Isaac, made a comeback today. The forward, in the first few seasons of the Magic, played poorly, averaging 5.4 points per game in his rookie season, 9.6 points per game in his second season, and in his third season, which was the 2019-2020 season, he played well, averaging 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, especially on the defensive end, and the improvement was very obvious. But sadly, in August 2020, Isaac suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which was reimbursed for the season and then underwent surgery, missing the entire season last season. Now, he has finally ushered in a comeback. It is worth mentioning that the Magic are a very human team, and after Isaac suffered a serious injury, he was still offered a 4-year 80 million contract.
Finally, a word about little Hardaway. The Lone Ranger lost to the Clippers in the last game, very wronged. In the fourth quarter, Doncic scored 20 points in a single quarter, while other teammates, who shot 1 of 11 in the quarter, scored only 3 points. Kuban, who was sitting on the side, had murderous eyes in his eyes and a very cold expression. Obviously, Cuban can't wait, he wants to change, and the first person to use it to "open the knife" is Hardaway Jr. According to the latest reports, Hardaway Jr. has been put on the shelf by the Lone Ranger, a player who signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the team in 2021, and his form has declined seriously this season, and now he can no longer provide Doncic with enough help.
Official announcement! The Suns signed a 22+5 guard, the No. 6 pick in the first round returned, and Mr. 72 million was put on the shelf. After all, the NBA is still a commercial league, and people come and go, which is very normal. For the Lone Ranger, if Doncic is not matched with decent teammates and given him enough helpers, then Doncic's future path is really difficult to say, if Doncic applies for a trade, presumably the other 29 teams will be very willing to join the robbery team! Don't think that Doncic is the next Derk Nowitz, Doncic is the first Doncic, in many ways, Doncic's achievements today, compared horizontally with Nowitzki of the year, have far exceeded the achievements of Nowitzki at that time.
