On September 23, Beijing time, the 2021-22 season (preseason) that everyone is looking forward to will officially start in one week. So what are the things in the league today that deserve everyone's attention?
First of all, according to the latest news brought by the authoritative name of NBA Marc Stein, the Raptors currently do not want to enter the rebuilding period. They still hope to remain as competitive as possible in the new season. According to previous US media reports, the Raptors will most likely buy out Dragic , but Marc Stein pointed out that the Raptors management is now full of confidence in trading Dragic. Once there is a potential deal in the new season, the need for reliable organizational skills becomes more urgent, then Dragic will definitely become their first choice for signings.
In today's small ball era, an excellent field master is essential for the team. Although Dragic is now 35 years old, he still averaged 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game last season, shooting 43.2% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range. It is reported that the Mavericks have been waiting for the Raptors to lay off Dragic so they can pick up the leaks, but the Raptors currently do not want to let go of the former All-Star point guard in vain.

Although the reporter cannot be 100% sure, according to the regulations of WNBA , all spectators who want to watch the game on the spot must have been vaccinated, and they are not allowed to take off their masks during the entire watching process. Does this mean that Irving has been vaccinated? Otherwise, how did he go to watch the game live?
In addition, according to the information given by NBA reporter Sam Amico, the Nuggets are currently one of the suitors of Ben Simmons, and from the current situation, they seem to have a chance to become this The big dark horse in the battle. According to the news from Nuggets and team reporter Harrison Wind, he discovered that Simmons appeared at a restaurant in Lakewood City, Denver last night. The restaurant is called Casa Bonita, which is a Mexican-style restaurant.
This raises another question. If the Nuggets really intend to introduce Simmons, what kind of bargaining chip will they give? Will Jamal Murray , who is currently recuperating, become the last victim? According to Nuggets reporter Mike Singer, Murray asked Mike Malone on the night of his injury: "Will the team trade me?" Only 24 years old, he averaged 21.2 points, 4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game last season, shooting 47.7% from the field and 40.8% from the three-point range. His previous injury was a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee _ span9span.Simmons, on the other hand, is 25 years old. Last season, he averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks, and his shooting percentage was 55.7%. If these two players swap clubs, then who will be the profit from the Nuggets or Philadelphia?
