This time, I must give applause to Boss Cai, who is 2 for 0!
The Nets reached a deal with the Pistons, using Joe Harris + two second-round picks in exchange for a trade exception of about $20 million, giving the Nets nearly $33 million in salary space to re-sign forward Johnson, and then the Nets renewed Johnson for four years and $108 million, which is the most important thing the team should do in the offseason.
Joe Harris has averaged 11.5 points per game in his seven seasons with the Nets, averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game and shooting 43.9% from three-point range, definitely one of the best shooters in the league in the past seven years, especially in the 18-19 and 20-21 seasons, Joe Harris shot more than 47% from three-point range, and averaged at least 2.4 three-pointers per game.
Unfortunately, Joe Harris suffered an injury in the 21-22 season, playing only 14 games, and the Nets roster has a lot of outside shooters, Curry Jr., O'Neal, Mills, Dinwiddie, Smith, etc., Joe Harris almost lost playing time.
Joining the rebuilding Pistons should be the best time for a veteran goalscorer to prove himself, just like Bogdanovic in the 22-23 season, the new season, will not get the same unlimited shots as Bogdanovic, but can be reused, because the new Pistons head coach is Monty Williams.
To get back to the point, the Nets renewed Johnson's contract, and the next step should be to strengthen the strength of the rotation lineup, for example, O'Neal and Smith can keep one, Mills has become a "chicken rib", you can follow Joe Harris, fight for some salary space.
The Nets' main lineup for the new season is almost locked, Dinwiddie + O'Neal/Smith + Johnson + Bridges + Claxton, and the rotation lineup is Thomas, Sharp, Simmons, and so on. Look forward to what the Nets will do next!
