NBA is in the offseason, the free market has calmed down, the summer league is in full swing, and a new round of negotiations on the labor agreement are also going on simultaneously in las vegas. According to reports from NBA reporter Wo Shen, the labor and management are discussing the setting up of a mid-season tournament. The general plan is: the mid-season tournament will be counted as part of the regular season schedule. The top 8 teams in the season will compete in a single elimination round, and the final champion will be selected. Each team member will receive a bonus of US$1 million. It is worth mentioning that both sides also intend to shorten the regular season from 82 games to 78 games. In addition, there are many new developments in the league. Here is a summary so that everyone can better understand the NBA.
The first: 4-for-2 deal reached
Official news from Knicks , Knicks and Pistons completed a 4-for-2 deal, the specific content is: Knicks sent Burks + Noel + two future second-round draft picks and some cash, get a future second-round draft pick from Pistons + the signing rights of Radicevic. I have to say that the Knicks' operation is so imaginative. Who is Radicevic? The No. 57 pick in the 2015 class is currently playing in the Spanish League and has never landed in the NBA. You can't expect him to land in the NBA one day. On the other hand, Burks and Noel are proper rotation players. Burks played a total of 130 games for the Knicks, averaging 12.1 points + 4.8 rebounds + 2.7 assists per game; Noel played a total of 89 games for the Knicks, averaging 12.1 points + 4.8 rebounds + 2.7 assists per game. Averaged 4.6 points + 6.2 rebounds + 1.1 steals + 1.9 blocks. In short, the Knicks are equivalent to giving Burks and Noel to the Pistons for nothing, using a second-round pick as mental compensation, and using some cash as travel expenses. Is the Knicks management just a charlatan or a criminal? I can’t tell the difference!
The second article: Ray Allen speaks for GOAT
Shakespeare once said: There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand audiences. In the discussion of the best players in NBA history, the names of Jordan , Lao James , Kobe , Curry have been mentioned by countless people, especially Jordan and Lao LeBron, both of whom have massive supporters. . Recently, NBA star Ray Allen spoke out for GOAT when interacting with fans. He bluntly said: Is James good at free throws? What about three points? What about dribbling? So if you're talking about the GOAT, he wasn't even great at any skill, whereas Jordan was. Ray Allen's views may not determine who is the GOAT, but one thing is certain. He has played against Jordan James. He has also been teammates with Lao LeBron James and used a three-pointer to give Lao LeBron James another championship. The trophy and the FMVP trophy, his perspective is very novel - Lao Zhan is indeed very versatile, but he does have many flaws. To paraphrase Shakespeare, everyone can have their own GOAT, no matter what is right or wrong!
Article 3: Doncic dropped his bold words
Recently, Mavericks star accepted an exclusive interview with Marca . When he talked about his future goals, he dropped his bold words: I have never considered changing teams. His goal is to stay with the Dallas Mavericks and win the championship trophy, not the MVP! Doncic is definitely not just talking, he and the Mavericks are indeed moving towards this goal! This past season, the Mavericks were very successful, reaching all the way to the Western Conference Finals; Doncic played in super style. After 15 playoff games, Doncic averaged 31.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. +3.4 three-pointers. After the free market opened, the Mavericks introduced McGee and Wood, making the lineup more balanced. I don’t know if they will join the championship ranks in the new season, but one thing is for sure, Doncic may be able to achieve it. Win the MVP before the championship small goal. On the MVP probability list for the new NBA season, Doncic ranks first among all the others!
Article 4: The NBA is ushering in great changes
The NBA’s new round of labor agreement negotiations has achieved certain results, and the NBA will usher in great changes. According to a report from NBA reporter CHris Haynes, sources revealed that the NBA has decided to change the fast break foul rules for the new season. After a fast break foul occurs, the offensive team will change from two free throws and one throw to one free throw and one throw.At the same time, the league will also impose more severe penalties for violations of bench regulations. This kind of behavior will interfere with the normal progress of the game. More importantly, NBA players are tall and big, and their jumping up and down on the bench will seriously affect the viewing experience of fans on the sidelines. In addition, NBA reporter Woj reported that sources revealed that the NBA is expected to approve the play-offs on Wednesday as a regular part of the future league season. In the past two seasons, the setting of the play-offs has reduced the phenomenon of paddling in the regular season and is very enjoyable to watch. However, the player data in the play-offs is not included in the regular season or playoffs. Since everyone likes the play-offs, the league's move can form a perfect closed loop in the NBA schedule. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
