On July 22, 2022, NBA free market trading is still in an orderly manner. The whereabouts of several big fish are still unclear, but some trading rumors have also been leaked. Mitchell is not the player who has received the most inquiries from the Jazz. Is Durant training with the former Nets assistant a signal to leave the team? Gordon's name is associated with the Lakers. What other transactions are there? Let's take a closer look.
1, Vanderbilt got the most inquiry
1 This year, the Jazz can be said to be the team with the most trade rumors. After sending Gobert to the Timberwolves, the team received many new players, but the team claimed that all players are currently on the shelves, including the team's core Mitchell. However, according to US media BR, the player most interested in other teams is Vanderbilt, the Jazz has just received, and he has also received the most inquiries. In the regular season last season, Vanderbilt averaged 6.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. I have to say that this news made Mitchell a little embarrassed.
2. Mitchell hopes to be traded to the Knicks
said Mitchell. Today, the famous reporter Tim MacMahon mentioned Mitchell's updates in a program. The reporter said that Mitchell's contract has 3 years left and there are player options. The team's new coach does not want to deal with such a garbage contract before the start of next season. So the team really wants to trade Mitchell. Although Mitchell did not take the initiative to propose a deal, everyone knows that he wants to go to the Knicks. But from the perspective of Jazz management, they hope to maximize the benefits of the Mitchell deal.
3. Ben Simmons appeared in trading rumors for the first time
or news about the Nets. Today, Zach Lowe, a US Markle, wrote an article about the transaction between the Heat and the Nets. The name Ben Simmons was mentioned for the first time this season. He said that if Adebayo goes to the Nets and sends Durant to the Heat, the Heat will inevitably encounter defensive problems. And if Ben Simmons is pulled into the transaction, this problem can be effectively solved. But then again, Ben Simmons missed the entire season again last season, and it is still a mystery what state he can come back, which also made his trading value plummet. The Nets lost their wife and their soldiers.
4. Durant trained with the former Nets assistant coach to release the signal of leaving the team
Recently, Durant can be said to have locked himself in a "small black room", almost cutting off communication with the outside world, and his transaction has also become a mystery. However, today, US media reported that Durant appeared in Los Angeles and trained with former Nets assistant coach Adam Harrington. Interestingly, the latter had been fired by the Nets before. The assistant coach was Durant's shooting coach during the Thunder. The two had a good relationship. Perhaps the appearance of these two people at the same time also means that KD's departure has entered the countdown.
5. Eric Gordon became the Lakers' trading target
Gordon's name was mentioned once. According to NBA reporter Sam Amico, Gordon was included in the trading plan by the Lakers and they hope to get the veteran. Famous reporter Stein has also said that his urgent desire to strengthen his shooting is the reason why the Lakers have been associated with Hilde and Eric Gordon recently. The outside world believes that the Lakers regard Hilde and Turner as the primary goal, but it is difficult for them to complete the deal.
6. The Rockets hope to send Kenyon Jr.
Today, Houston reporter Ben Dubose wrote an article about Rockets player Kenyon Jr. Martin Jr. had previously met with the Rockets' management to discuss the possibility of a deal. This also shows that it is only a matter of time before Martin Jr. leaves the Rockets, and the team hopes to exchange Martin Jr. for a substitute center or some draft picks. After all, the Rockets' back and forward line are now overcrowded, and they urgently need to find a qualified blue-collar worker for this talented team. Last season, Martin Jr. played 79 games for the Rockets, averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
7. Sexton has not received the team's offer yet and is in a dilemma
NBA famous reporter Brett Siegle talked about the situation of restricted free agent Sexton in today's report. This strong player has not received any offer from the team so far and is in a very difficult situation. Many NBA people said Sexton may be able to reach a 1-2-year contract with the Cavaliers before the new season, or directly sign a qualification offer of $7.22 million per year. In this way, he will become a complete free agent in 2023.
8. Pacers plan to sign a two-way contract with rookies
Pacers reporter Zach Pearson reported that the team plans to sign a two-way contract with No. 48 rookie Kendall Brown. Next season, the famous players will mainly play in the Development League, and of course he also has an opportunity to be effective in the NBA. However, according to league regulations, players who sign two-way contracts can play in the NBA for up to 45 days in a season.
