After the opening of the NBA free market, after a week of hustle and bustle, it is slowly returning to calm. The Warriors eventually managed to sign Saric and became the tallest Warriors at 2.08 meters. The Lakers officially signed two rookies, and the roster for the new season is only the last one. The 76ers capsized in the gutter, and they wanted to keep Reed, but they were put together by Sir Angie, and there were bitter words. Popovich is bound to the Spurs for the next 5 years, and the new contract exceeds $80 million, which also breaks the NBA manager's income record! The Rockets suffered bad news, No. 4 pick Amen Thompson suffered a second-degree ankle sprain and is expected to be out for 3-4 weeks.
The Lakers officially announced the signing
The Lakers officially announced on social platforms that the team has signed with No. 17 rookie Siffino + No. 40 pick Lewis! The details of Xifino's contract are: $17.88 million for four years, $3.65 million for the first year, $3.87 million for the second year, $4.06 million for the third year, $6.24 million for the fourth year, and the last two years with the team option. The details of his contract with Lewis were $1.11 million in the first year of rookie base salary. The Lakers' 13+3 roster is also officially released, starters: Russell + Reeves + Hachimura + James + thick eyebrows, the main rotation of the bench: Vincent + Reddish + Prince + Vanderbilt + Hayes, in addition to Christie, Lewis, Xifino, two-way contracts (Hodge, Sweed, Carlston). Lakers management put an end to Hamm's three-guard lineup from the root!
76 people have words of suffering
Before the free agency opened this summer, the 76ers made a qualification offer for Reid, and after the free agency opened, the 76ers signed Harrell again and grabbed Bamba, and if Harden is out of the bitter sea, Embiid can go to play point guard in the new season (this is no joke). There are many centers, but the 76ers were pitted by the Jazz's Angie. According to the Jazz reporter, the Jazz gave Reid a three-year, $24 million contract offer, $7.3 million in the first year is fully guaranteed, and if Reid can reach the division semifinals next season, the next two years of contracts totaling $15.7 million will also be guaranteed. And if the 76ers want to match, they have to follow this way. That pushed the 76ers straight into the fire pit: either let Reid go or pay a $14 million luxury tax, while salary pressures increased over the next two years.
Popovich broke the record
The Spurs officially announced that he and Popovich signed a successful contract extension, and according to Woj, Popovich's contract is more than $80 million for 5 years! In addition, Woj's subsequent report confirmed that Popovich is also the president + coach of basketball, so even if he does not fulfill his contract, he can get the money. Popovich is now 74 and will be 79 after executing his contract. Spurs reporter Ospoburn revealed that Popovich has repeatedly said that money is his reason to persevere. However, according to ESPN's analysis, after the Spurs selected Chinese Banyama, the team needs to have a transitional stage, and this stage, Popovich has no replacement! Popovich's big contract also broke the previous record of 6-year 78.5 million contract signed by Monti and the Pistons!
Popovich led the Spurs to win 5 championships, according to the US media, before this big contract came into effect, Popovich's net worth has exceeded $120 million, he has 3 mansion villas, several luxury cars, in addition to the Spurs only Johnson's annual salary is higher than Popovich!
Bad news for rockets
In the summer league game against the Blazers, the Rockets relied on Jabari Smith's three-point shot to kill the opponent, but in the fourth quarter, Rockets No. 4 pick Amen Thompson also left the game injured. Although Amen said in an interview after the match that he did not have an answer, after an MRI examination, Spears reported that Amen Thompson suffered a grade 2 ankle sprain and was expected to rest for 3-4 weeks. In addition, he will definitely miss the rest of the summer league games and wear protective boots for at least 1 week! Judging by Amen's style of play, he likes to share the ball very much, and he has a positive defensive attitude, in addition to needing to improve his shooting consistency, he has what it takes to become the core of this Rockets roster.
