As the NBA 2021-22 season is approaching, the sweet pastries on the free agent market are basically famous. Among the remaining beads, the most touching thing is the four-time All-Star player Paul -Millsap. According to a report by Shams Chalanya, the famous "The Athletic", Mi Shen has agreed to join the Brooklyn Nets with a basic salary contract.
For Millsap, he has been in the All-Star lineup, was selected for the best defensive second team, and won a big contract. Such personal honor and income are not too much for a second-round pick. More can be pursued. As a 36-year-old veteran, he has been in the league for 15 seasons and still insists on appearing on the court, for the championship ring that makes him dream of, he can taste the O'Brien Cup. The taste of .
Therefore, after the opening of the free agency market, Millsap did not rush to decide where he belongs next season, but patiently observes the operations of the major champions. Mi Shen also considered joining the Warriors, Clippers and Bulls, especially the Golden State Warriors-with Curry and Thompson, Millsap can maximize his advantages in shooting, organization and defense. , And help the team's tomorrow star James-Wiseman to grow rapidly. But in the end Millsap chose the Nets for a simple reason. The Nets are currently the most powerful team on the books, and they are also the most promising front-runner in the new season.
Last season, Millsap's state further declined, averaging only 9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. The scoring was the first time since the first two seasons of his career fell below double digits. But for a player with a minimum salary, there is no need to demand him much. After all, the value of Mi Shen is not fully reflected in the data. He can be the axis at a high position.You can also ambush beyond the three-point line for Durant , Harden and Owen to open up the offensive space. On the defensive end, he is strong enough to protect the rebounds. Despite the deterioration of his body's functions, he lost his glory many times. But Millsap's experience and consciousness are destined to make him play a certain role on the court.
With the joining of Millsap, the Nets have gathered two "Mi Gods"-in addition to Millsap, they showed their power in the Olympics and led the Kangaroos to win the bronze medal, the best record in history. FIBA Jordan" Patty Mills has also joined the Nets first. Considering the high probability that Griffin will debut in the new season, then the "Double Mi God Combination" will become the bench leader of the Nets. The two Mi Gods, one inside and one outside, also happen to be the best players. High players, with their joining, the original weakness of the Nets bench will be made up. In the new season, they have become more perfect, making it more difficult for their opponents to cope.
Several families are happy and others are worried. With the official settlement of Millsap, it also means that some people are destined to be unable to stay. It was said that it was previously exposed that the Nets did not hesitate to catch a first-round DeAndre Jordan in order to send him away. Jordan was a two-time rebounding leader at his peak. He was not only the best defensive team but also the best team. There is nothing to say about physical talent. He came to the Nets and had good friends Durant and Irving backing him, and his position is as stable as Mount Tai. However, after Millsap's physical function has deteriorated, there is still a skill. After little Jordan has lost the speed and explosiveness of the past, he is simply negative equity on the court. Coupled with his own game attitude problems, in the end, and Nash are also the same. Regardless of any starting commitments, he removed Jordan from the starting lineup, and gradually became a spectator at the end of the bench.
After all, competitive sports still depends on performance. When Atkinson hid little Jordan, Durant and Owen supported their friends, Atkinson was dismissed from get out of class; now even Nash has done the same. It is the turn of the two big guys to be silent. After all, everyone is watching.On the way to the championship, I don't want to be dragged down by the whole team. Ever since, it was only a matter of time before Jordan was bought out. However, there are anonymous Western Conference executives who watch the excitement and hope that the Nets will quickly buy out Jordan's remaining contract so that he can join the Lakers' Sunset Red team on the grounds that "I have never seen such a team before."
By the way, the exchange of Jordan for Millsap at least seems to be a good deal. The team's strength has been improved, and a player at the end of the bench has been replaced by a powerful rotation player. It seems that the healthy Nets are planning to do something big this season. Are you optimistic about the Brooklyn Nets? Will they be the most powerful contenders for the championship?
