Marshall moved from the Pelicans to the Mavericks for 27 million in 3 years, and Plumlee for 3.3 million from the Clippers to the Suns in 1 year.
Valanjonas went from the Pelicans to the Wizards for 3 years and 30 million, Paul signed with the Spurs for 1 year and 11 million with Wembanyama, and Harden signed a 2-year 70 million contract extension with the Clippers.
Eric Gordon joined the 76ers with a base salary, and Pope switched to the Magic for 66 million in 3 years.
Cunningham renews the Pistons with a maximum salary, the dust has settled on a number of trades, and the strength of each team may be reshuffled, and the new season is worth looking forward to.
After a challenging season with the Warriors, Chris Paul unexpectedly became a free agent.
The former All-Star point guard had to face the fate of being laid off under the pressure of the Warriors' salary.
Although his annual salary was as high as $30 million, the unforgiving years and the nature of the contract made it difficult for him to escape.
That didn't dim Paul's career, on the contrary, he quickly found a new home in the free market – the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs, a team known for their team basketball and tenacity, are undoubtedly an ideal next home for Paul.
Their deep basketball culture and stable game system provide a stage for Paul to continue to shine.
And Paul's addition has also injected new vitality into the Spurs.
The one-year, $11 million contract is a win-win for both parties.
Paul could continue his career here, while Spurs get an experienced master of the field.
James Harden has also caused an uproar in the free market.
As one of the top scoring guards in the league today, Harden's choice naturally touches the hearts of countless fans.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to re-sign the Clippers to a two-year, $70 million contract.
This contract comes with a player option for the second year, which means Harden still has the initiative going forward.
Harden's contract extension is undoubtedly a huge positive for the Clippers.
In the last season, although the "Big Three" of Harden and Kawhi Leonard and Paul George failed to lead the team further, their tacit cooperation and strong firepower have given fans hope.
Now that Harden has chosen to stay with the team, it has undoubtedly added more confidence to the Clippers to attack the championship.
And for Harden himself, staying with the Clippers is also a smart choice.
It's not just his familiar teammates and tactical system, but also the championship trophy he's been longing for.
In addition to Paul and Harden, there have been a number of high-profile signings on the free market.
For example, Marshall moved from the Pelicans to the Mavericks on a three-year, $27 million contract; Valranjonas joined the Wizards for three years and $30 million; Eric Gordon came to the 76ers from the Suns on a one-year contract.
These signings not only changed the strength landscape of each team, but also injected new vitality into the entire league.
Of course, in this free market full of uncertainties, there are also some regrettable partings.
The contract extension disagreement between Paul George and the Clippers ultimately led to his departure from the team.
According to reports, George has almost decided to join either the 76ers or one of the Magic teams.
Klay Thompson, on the other hand, began to reach out to other teams after his contract extension with the Warriors broke down.
Both the Mavericks and Clippers have expressed keen interest in the top shooter.
In addition to the above stars, there are a number of other signings worth mentioning on the free market.
M. Christie stayed with the Lakers on a four-year, $32 million contract, Jordan Jr. joined the Nuggets for $3.6 million a year, and L. Holmes stayed with the Wizards on a two-year, $25.9 million contract.
Cunningham signed a five-year, $226 million contract extension with the Pistons;
Kevin Porter Jr. returned to the Clippers after moving from the NBA to Greece on a two-year contract;
Drummond switched from the Bulls to the 76ers on a two-year, $10 million contract;
Love, on the other hand, stayed with the Heat on a two-year, $8 million contract.
From Paul's move to the Spurs to Harden's contract extension with the Clippers, to the transfer deals of many other stars, it has presented us with an exciting picture.
On this stage full of opportunities and challenges, the players are writing their own legendary stories with their own choices and efforts.
As the dust settles on the free market, the rosters of each team for the new season are gradually emerging.
Behind these signings, it's not hard to find some common trends and strategies.
The team's respect and use of veterans has reached new heights.
Despite his advanced age, Paul's experience and leadership remain invaluable to a young team like the Spurs.
Similarly, Harden's contract extension also reflects the Clippers' cherishing and trust in the team's core players.
This respect and use of veterans not only helps the team to maintain stability, but also sets an example for the younger players and promotes the overall development of the team.
The team pays more attention to the suitability and tactical needs of the players when signing.
For example, Valancionas joining the Wizards will complement the team's existing interior players and improve the team's offensive and defensive capabilities on the interior.
Gordon's joining the 76ers can provide the team with stable outside firepower.
This signing strategy, based on the tactical needs of the team, will help the team to better play its overall strength in the new season.
Looking ahead, as the NBA continues to grow, the free agency market will continue to be an important stage for teams to adjust their rosters and improve their strength.
On this stage, players will prove their worth with their quality and choices, and teams will build a stronger squad through a shrewd signing strategy.
With the continuous advancement of technology and data, the team's decision-making when signing will also be more scientific and accurate.
Through player data analysis, game video replay and other means, teams can have a more comprehensive understanding of the abilities and characteristics of players, so as to make more informed signing decisions.
Although the NBA free agency in 2024 is over, the reflections and revelations it has left us will continue to live on.
In this arena full of opportunities and challenges, we look forward to each team continuing to write their own legends.
