There is only one week left until the regular season officially starts. This year's pre-season has also been quite lively for most teams, and it has its own content. For some players, although they didn't get a contract extension, they still have to take their time and polish their form. There is also a lot of information worth noting recently, so let's take a look today. The Kings Spurs made a deal, the Warriors confirmed new injuries, James did not hide it, and the Rockets cut two people.
Before the start of the new season, there are often some trades coming up. Judging from the latest trade updates, the Kings have completed a trade with the Spurs. The Kings sent Jalen McDaniels and a second-round pick to the Spurs. To put it bluntly, this is a deal for air, just to make room. In addition, the Spurs will not keep the guy here, and will still cut him. Overall, it's a petty deal.
The Warriors have been plagued by injuries in the preseason, with Curry injured in the game and now Podzemski also injured. According to the related dynamics, Podzemski suffered a broken nose bone, will wear a mask next, and will also miss the preseason game against the Lakers. However, as far as the nasal bone injury is concerned, it will not have much impact. The most important thing for the Warriors now is to see if Curry's injury will affect the rest of the regular season.
James is also a very nostalgic person, and when it comes to the Olympics with Durant and Curry, James does not hide it. James bluntly said that when you have 3 of the best players of all time, how can you lose? In addition, Lao Zhan was also asked if he would become teammates with Curry again, and James was also very happy and bluntly said that he didn't know. In general, the current James and Curry, both of whom have basically closed the championship window.
Before the start of the new season, teams will make some decisions to cut players based on their performance in the preseason. The Rockets have now officially confirmed, cutting centers Meck and Nowell. As far as these two players are concerned, they are also marginal players in the league, and it is expected that the Rockets will let them go. The Rockets have a lot to do next, and their goal for the new season will also be to make the playoffs, so there's no problem with that.
Embiid is a player we all know, a famous crispy sausage in the league. In this year's preseason, Embiid was directly reimbursed for the preseason and did not play a game. One more thing to note now is that Embiid has said that he may not play back-to-back games for the rest of his life. As far as this matter is concerned, it is actually understandable, after all, if you want to hit the championship, you need to stay healthy in the playoffs, which is a big premise.
