With the rush between the teams and the advancement of the armament competition, although the heat in the free market is gradually cold, there are still some valuable players, and as one of the best 3D players in the league, the new season of Wesley Matthews, who has not signed a contract, has also attracted the attention of many fans and the media!
After all, last season played for the Lakers, Matthews' performance is obvious to all, throughout the regular season, Matthews represented the Lakers in a total of 58 regular season games, as a veteran who is about to turn 35, such a season attendance can be said to be quite impressive.
In the case of averaging 20 minutes per game and serving as a substitute for most of the time, it is not difficult to see from Matthews' average of 4.8 points and 1.6 rebounds per game and his 33.5% three-point shooting rate in the season, Matthews's fuel tank is obviously not fully bottomed, and there is still a battle!
Although in the playoffs, the Lakers, who were plagued by injuries, eventually lost to the first round of the Suns, Matthews' tough performance on the defensive end of the entire series did cause a lot of trouble to the Suns' Paul + Booker, and based on Matthews' game attributes, there are obviously not a few teams that are interested in such a tough player.
In this regard, the US media "NBA Analysis" has also recently re-analyzed and evaluated Matthews' current value and prospects in the trading market, as well as the trend of reinforcements and reinforcements between teams in the offseason.
And reporter Greg Patuto believes that before the start of the new season, there may be 3 teams that will compete with Matthews, of which Matthews may go to the Knicks to rush the championship and join the Nuggets for another year!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Nuggets</h1>
After completing the contract renewal of Aaron Gordon + Michael Potter Jr. in the offseason and officially establishing the core of the team led by Jokic + Murray + Aaron Gordon + Michael Porter Jr., the current stage of the Nuggets is undoubtedly at the time of strength.
But for the Nuggets management, who missed the Finals stage again in the playoffs last season, from the current team lineup configuration, the Nuggets may not lack firepower and vitality on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the Nuggets do need to make adjustments and upgrades.
Especially under the premise that Murray's return from injury in the new season and the state of attack and defense at both ends remain to be seen, Matthews, as a major defensive tip on the defensive line, can be said to have brought improvements to the Nuggets' defensive end, which can be said to be not to be underestimated.
More importantly, from a cost-effective point of view, Matthews will also be one of the best candidates the Nuggets can currently reach!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Knicks</h1>
After successively introducing fourniers + Walker + Bacon three elite players, and renewed rose + Burkes + Noel, I have to admit that the New York Knicks, whose lineup strength has been visible to the naked eye, has indeed had the momentum to re-launch the attack to the championship in the new season!
As a veteran who has experienced great storms, Matthews, who is old and strong and has rich playoff experience and personal strength, will obviously be an important "puzzle" in the eyes of the Knicks who aim to compete for the championship.
Even in the side of Thibodeau + Randall, as well as in the Knicks basketball system, Matthews, who has excellent offensive ability, will be infinitely magnified for the improvement of the depth and strength of the team's defender line, as well as its role and influence on the game!

Although the Pacers do not have many operations in the free market and trading market in this offseason, rationally speaking, the Pacers with Brogdon + Sabonis + Turner + Le Ver are not bad in terms of talent and potential in the lineup, coupled with the new coach Carlisle wearing the post, the strength of the Pacers in the new season, obviously can not be ignored!
Considering that Matthews had played under Carlisle when he played for the Lone Rangers, and Matthews had also played briefly for the Pacers, it seemed like an option for both sides to reunite with the Pacers.
Coupled with Matthews' plug-and-play ready-to-play combat power, as well as a fairly stable three-pointer from the outside, Matthews' arrival can obviously greatly improve the Pacers' offensive and defensive ends, especially after the team lost marksman McDermott in the offseason, the Pacers' role in taking Matthews will obviously be immediately highlighted!
Finally, as a fan, among the above 3 teams, which team are you more optimistic about Matthews joining? Or what better directions and suggestions do you have for Matthews' new season? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section!
