The free market in the NBA league has been quite calm. There are no big deals, but there are still some small deals and signings. For example, Wizards signed Gibson , Knicks renewed Robinson and so on. The NBA league officially announced a new rule that makes fast-break fouls more severe. At the same time, it has been officially confirmed that the play-offs will not be cancelled. The Knicks and Pistons reached a 5-for-2 deal, and the Knicks' illegal recruitment of Brunson has not yet been resolved. The Los Angeles Lakers have received good news, Irving 's joining has been basically confirmed. The Rockets, 76ers and Mavericks have released a three-way trade plan. Can this be mutually beneficial and win-win for the three parties?
First, NBA officially announced new rules
NBA officially announced that starting from next season, the fast break foul rules will be modified: after a fast break foul occurs, the offensive team will get one free throw. (In the past, after a foul that prevented a fast break occurred, the offensive team usually only served a throw-in).
At the same time, ESPN officially reported that the NBA League Council is about to officially pass the play-off plan: playoffs play-offs will be part of the NBA's future regular season events. Last season, the NBA regular season was not shortened and 82 regular season games were played, but the 7th-10th place in the conference still had to play in the play-offs. The play-off rules will remain in place for a long time, and the seventh and eighth places in the division will continue to be awkward. Last season, the seventh-place team in the Western Conference, the Clippers, was six games ahead of the eighth-place team in the Western Conference, the Pelicans, but they didn't even make the playoffs. The Clippers were losing blood. Fans believe that it is reasonable to limit the play-offs to a certain winning gap.
Second, 5-for-2 deal reached
Knicks and Pistons officially announced: The two parties reached a deal, the Knicks will Burks , Noel and two second-round picks + some The cash was sent to the Pistons and he got Radicevic + a second-round pick from the Pistons. The Knicks introduced Brunson this summer offseason and encountered illegal recruitment. and the Mavericks have been reporting illegal recruitment by the Knicks. Now Brunson has not signed with the Knicks, and the Mavericks management has been reluctant to give up. However, the Knicks offered Brunson a four-year, $110 million contract, and the Mavericks could only offer Brunson a five-year, $110 million contract. It is clear which contract is better.
Third, star jersey sales list
In the 2021-22 season, the NBA individual star jersey sales list in Europe has been released. In France, Germany and Italy, Curry jersey sales ranked first in the league. In Spain, Doncic leads the league in jersey sales. In the UK, James 's jersey sales number one in the league. The sales of Lakers jerseys still rank first in the league in European countries. Lakers jerseys are indeed the best-selling in the world.
Fourth, good news about the Lakers trade
Nets reporter Nick Friedell said that the Lakers and Nets' deal regarding Irving is about to be concluded, and it is expected that a third-party team will join. The senior executives in the circle unanimously believe that Irving will Becoming a member of the Lakers, Nets people have already congratulated LeBron good luck. The Nets had previously contacted the Mavericks, but the Mavericks were not interested in Irving and they did not want to take risks. Now the probability and odds of the Lakers getting Irving are still the highest in the league. It seems that Pelinka and Marks have made substantial progress in their meeting and negotiations in Las Vegas, and the Lakers Irving has basically been finalized.
Fifth, the 76ers, Rockets and Mavericks three-point trading plan
US media NBA experts made a transaction suggestion for the Rockets, 76ers and Mavericks: Rockets get a first-round pick from the Mavericks + Powell + one Special case of trade, the 76ers get Gordon from the Rockets and Bullock + Beilstein from the Mavericks, and the Mavericks get Harris + Selb from the 76ers. In this transaction plan, the Rockets received first-round compensation. Powell only has one year left on his contract and does not have to accept a junk contract. The Lone Ranger has been reinforced by two strong players on the front line. The 76ers got Gordon as they wished, and also added two shooters. I feel like this deal is pretty good for all three parties, and everyone gets what they want.
