After completing the Holladay deal, the Greenshirts, who have assembled the superstars of Tatum, Brown, Holladay and Porzingis, continue to consolidate the depth of the lineup. Earlier, the Greenshirts offered guard Payton Pritchard a four-year, $30 million contract that would continue to support the Big Four in the coming seasons.
Fans who have watched the Greenshirts know that Payton Pritchard is a daring defender whose positive attitude has won the recognition of the team and the coaching staff. This past season, Pritchard has been highly effective, averaging 5.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13 minutes per game. It is worth noting that Pritchard became the seventh player in the rookie to receive a contract extension after the contract extension, and the contract renewal amount was also the smallest.
Separately, former Warriors player Anthony Lamb, who did not get a contract in the NBA, accepted offers from other leagues to a one-year contract with the New Zealand Breakers of the Australian NBL league, which included the option to jump out and return to the NBA. Due to team policy, Lamb's contract details are expected to be below the NBA team's base salary. Last season, Lamb had a good performance during his time with the Warriors, averaging 19.3 minutes per game, 6.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
The Harden trade is good news, and this rush to trade Harden is indeed the Clippers, who are eager to complete the deal before the start of the regular season. The Clippers are speeding up the Harden trade process, citing that they are the only team interested in trading with the 76ers, who have no choice. At the same time, the Clippers will not increase their trade chips, and will still be a first-round pick and a first-round pick, as well as a current contract that can match Harden's salary. Probably because a trade could be on the verge of breaking at any time, Harden and Clippers' power forward Morris Jr. did not play in the preseason.
