On July 1, Beijing time, the NBA free agent market officially opened.

On the eve of the free agent market, Kevin Durant applied for a trade with the Nets , which undoubtedly made this year's offseason more chaotic and exciting. After the free agent market opened, the first two contracts were The superstars renewed their contracts with their parent teams, one of which is Nikola Jokic . According to famous reporter Wojnarowski, Jokic renewed his contract with the Nuggets for 256 million in five years. The details of the contract have not been released, but this amount is already the maximum salary under the current league salary cap.

Congratulations to the Nuggets for setting a direction in the next five years. Although Jokic, as a two-time MVP, has some disputes about his personal honor, he can at least ensure that the team reaches the lower limit of playoffs and . In addition, the Nuggets sent Barton away before. Monty Morris exchanged Pope and Ismail Smith to strengthen the defense. If some tough guys can be introduced around Jokic, the Nuggets' offense and defense will be more reasonable.

Another maximum salary extension comes from German Booker of sun. It is also reported by famous reporter Wojnarowski. The annual salary of the two is about the same, which is actually reasonable. However, Booker renewed his contract with such a high salary, which is enough to show that the team has given up on renewing Ayton both emotionally and in terms of salary space. The backcourt combination of Paul and Booker has already been divided. With nearly two-thirds of the salary cap of 120 million, it is impossible for Ayton to get a maximum salary.

In addition, rumors indicate that the Suns want to win over Durant , so they have to risk paying luxury tax to get Durant, who is no longer at his peak, and then compete for the championship. This risk is not only It is unknown whether the luxury tax, the draft pick chips the team paid for the deal, the player chips, and Durant's own competitive status will be a considerable investment and return ratio.
