August 21, Beijing time, although it is the NBA offseason and the teams have not given up strengthening, there are still some players who have not yet negotiated contract renewal conditions with the team for various reasons. Some teams want to pursue their favorite players either because of insufficient chips or because other teams are unwilling to trade. There were 6 latest transaction trends in just 8 hours today, let’s take a look together.
After Durant asked to trade himself, the team fell into chaos and the transaction was forced to be suspended. As Durant became more and more inclined to stay in the team, the Nets also began to strengthen. News today came out that Cameron Anthony will sign with the Nets to appease Durant, who had recruited Anthony before. Last season, Anthony averaged 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 44% from the field and 37% from three-point shooting percentage. The Raptors have also begun to strengthen. According to RealGM's trading log, the Raptors submitted a two-way qualification offer to Jaylen Harris. This makes Harris a restricted free agent. On July 1, 2021, Harris was banned by the NBA for violating the league's anti-drug program terms and then was eligible to apply for lifting the ban last month. As the 59th overall pick in 2020, he averaged 13.2 minutes per game in 13 NBA games, scoring 17.6 points, shooting 45.7% from the field and 50% from three-point shooting percentage in 13 NBA games.
It is worth mentioning that the Wizards continued to start Taobao. The team signed Makur Mek with an Exhibit 10 contract. Last season, he played for the Australian professional basketball team, averaging 7.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. The 2013 NBA No. 1 pick Bennett will join the Hsinchu Jiekou Siege Lions in Taiwan Province. Bennett played for the Kaohsiung Ironmen last season, averaging 25.2 points, 14 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, and at the end of the season, he showed off his attacking methods inside and outside to help the team win a row of victory.
Finally, in the face of the Nets' unwillingness to accept the Lakers' proposal to use one first-round draft pick in 2027 and 2029 as a bargaining chip, the Lakers should use these two first-round picks plus Westbrook to exchange with the Pacers for two long-awaited players, Hilder and Turner. Lakers general manager Pelinka previously promised to complete a two-year $97.1 million contract renewal, James must make the right move before the new season starts. Although James tends to exchange Irving from the Nets, allowing the two to join forces again in the Lakers. The problem is that the Nets do not intend to complete the Irving deal with the Lakers, and they only want to continue Irving.
, especially recently, Irving's posture has changed again, from not wanting to continue to play in the Nets, to seeing his trading market being too low recently, even to the tragic situation of being unpopular, Irving chose to be loyal to the Nets for another year and focus on playing next season. Anyway, when I become a free agent next summer, Irving can choose his future direction. The Lakers have proposed a deal with the Pacers, and both sides can also get their needs. The Lakers can send Westbrook away and make up for the two good players, Hilder and Turner. The chances of winning the championship will inevitably increase greatly. On the other hand, the Pacers, who have already entered the reconstruction period, can get more future assets. As for Westbrook, you can buy it out immediately.
