time comes to noon. As preseason progresses, relevant news and information of each team is also coming from the other side of the ocean like snow flakes. Not much gossip, let’s take a quick look at today. The NBA news, the Nets 2 deals were concluded, Gasol retired, talking about Kobe tears on the scene, the Rockets twin stars are shining, the Bulls are expected to recover, Simmons is about to be traded.
After beating the Lakers by a big score, the Nets management made two important transactions in succession:
Sumner, who was reimbursed for the season from the Pacers trade, plus a 2025 second round, the basket The bargaining chip paid by the Nets has not been disclosed. It is estimated that the transaction was completed with the Pacers directly with the special transaction in his hand. Sumner will not have too much intersection with the Nets. Only a layoff notice is waiting for him.
The well-performed teenager Dunbia will be traded to the Rockets for a 2024 unprotected second round sign. In addition to the $110,000 cash compensation from the Rockets, the Nets saved $8.1 million in salary through this transaction And the luxury tax, this is after the general manager Max sent away little Jordan, he once again helped the team reduce the luxury tax payment through a transaction. The Rockets also have no intention of keeping Dumbiya, and they will be quickly waived after the transaction is officially concluded, but Dumbiya, with his good performance against the Lakers and his excellent physical fitness, should not be too difficult to get a contract.
After Dunbia leaves, Bembri is likely to stay on the team, and the Nets' 15-man roster also emerges. The only variable is Irving. Irving was blocked from the Brooklyn training ground because he refused to administer the vaccine, but Irving did not seem to intend to compromise. If he cannot play the home game, the renewal negotiations between Irving and the Nets will also be temporarily terminated. The head coach Nash said in an interview,The team is not sure whether Irving will be vaccinated, so it is not ready for Irving’s absence from the regular season, and is unwilling to move the team’s training to other places due to Irving’s personal reasons.
The Pacers lost to the Knicks by 21 points in today's preseason game. However, before the game, the Pacers and Wernamme who had played for the Warriors and Hornets Ke signed a training camp contract, in this offseason invited back coach Carlisle, the ultimate goal of the Pacers signings fell on Simmons. Simmons recently listed his two mansions in Philadelphia for sale, demonstrating his determination to leave Philadelphia. The Pacers’ pursuit of Simmons is not just like Timberwolves and the Cavaliers. The action is motionless, or the lip service is not enough, the Pacers are willing to come up with Brogdon, Warren and Lever, the three main players for the 76ers to choose, and are willing to offer a number of draft picks, according to the NBA In the words of transfer experts, the Pacers have far better chips than other competitors. It is reported that the transaction for Simmons will be completed within a week. We will also wait and see who will receive Simmons.
The Rockets also came from behind in this morning's game, and took the Wizards by 6 points. The youth combination of Porter and Jaylen Green played well in the backcourt. The combined effort to score 37 points, plus 9 rebounds and 7 assists, is the key to the Rockets winning the game. However, the Rockets also have disadvantages. The team’s free throw percentage is as low as 51%. Jaylen Green’s three-point shooting rate is even more horrible. He made 0 of 6 shots. If Green only hit the basket with his speed advantage, he didn’t. Projection ability, then the future is very likely to become the second Simmons, I hope the Rockets trainer can put more effort on Jaylen Green's shooting.
The Bulls who have offered generous signings during the offseason are also in today’s preseason,They beat the Cavaliers with a huge advantage of 36 points. The team not only showed a good chemical reaction on the offensive end, but also had an impressive performance on the defensive end. Especially after the new season changed the defensive strategy, the Bulls were playing. Most of them use a one-on-one strategy of holding the ball with the flanks to help defend, which has played a very good effect, especially the main point guard ball brother, who actively runs back and forth to help defend and defend. Let coach Donovan's defensive strategy have been perfectly executed, this brand new Bull will bring unlimited expectations and hopes to fans in the new season.
Former Lakers star Paul Gasol officially chose to retire and end his playing career. At the press conference, Gasol talked tearfully about his former teammate Kobe, in words Fully expect Kobe to appear at the retirement conference, although this is already impossible. Both the Lakers official and Bryant’s wife Vanessa gave Pau Gasol a blessing. The Lakers also decided to retire Pau Gasol’s No. 16 jersey in recognition of his contribution to the Lakers, just like Kobe Bryant. He said before his death that he hoped that Pau Gasol's jersey could one day be hung over the Staples Arena, and his desire to accompany his jersey for a long time will soon be realized.
The Lakers will face the Suns in the preseason game tomorrow. On the Lakers side, James and Westbrook , as well as the injured Ariza are still playing free cards, 2spanvo With a wave of the pointer, melon and thick eyebrow were sent to fight against the enemy. Looking at the Suns, whether Booker can play depends on the face of the league. The rest of the players, including Paul , are all ready to face the Lakers.Especially Paul, in addition to eating and sleeping, is waiting to fight the Lakers. The Lakers exposed the flanking defensive problems in the last game, and will not be effectively solved with Melon's play. Whether or not to sign a wing defensive player before the start of the season will be a barometer of the Lakers' results after the start of the game.
