On October 17, Beijing time, NBA preseason has come to an end, and it is only two days before the start of the new season. Although there are no exciting games, the league is still very lively. Just over the past period of time, a lot of off-court news came from the league. Let's go and have a look together now.
1, Howard : I want to play basketball, but no team is willing to let me play
Last season Dwight Howard is still a member of the Lakers. Now the new season is about to begin, Howard is still a free agent and he is working hard to find a place to stay.
Recently, Howard said in a program: "I want to play basketball, but at the same time no team is willing to let me play. This is how I feel since the last time I played in Lakers . I feel that I have done enough to help them compete for the championship. I really deserve a position in the team and a lot of opportunities to play time, but this has not happened." .
I have to say that Howard is still very eager to stay on the field and hopes that a team will give him a chance, but the reality is cruel. As professional players, many players are very down and out at the end of their careers, but this is the reality. Young is capital. Of course, I still hope that , Warcraft can get what I want. If it really doesn't work, I can only choose to retire. After all, Warcraft is already 37 years old.
2. Poole first talks about the conflict: Green has apologized, we are here to compete for the championship
Today, Warriors player Jordan Poole talked about the previous dispute with Green in an interview. This is the first time Poole has talked about this matter to reporters since the incident.
Poole said: " Green has apologized to me. We will continue to handle each other's relationship in a professional way. Everyone on the team comes here to continue to win the championship, so that more championship flags can be hung on the home dome ."
In addition, when asked how he felt about signing a new contract, Poole replied: " I have been laughing all the time, I really want to stop ."
It is not difficult to see that Poole has forgiven Green. After all, after this incident, he also successfully got the big contract and got what he wanted, not to mention that his contract salary is higher than Wiggins. In the next season, Poole will definitely show his skills with the Warriors.
3. Wiggins talks about keeping the Warriors with less money: I am very happy here, I don’t regret
Today, Warriors player Andrew Wiggins talked about his views on his new contract in an interview.
Wiggins said: " You never know what the future will be like, but I am very happy here, and we have the opportunity to do something special now, so I don't regret taking less money ." Previously, the Warriors and Wiggins reached a four-year, $109 million early contract renewal.
I have to say that Brother Mouth is a very noble person, and his salary is no longer the most important thing to him (Wiggins’ salary is not high). He cares about other things besides salary. Brother Mouth has such a fight. I hope the Warriors will not do anything to Brother Mouth in the future.
4. Details of Poole's new contract were exposed: 123 million yuan is guaranteed, including 9 incentive bonuses
On October 17, Beijing time, Warriors reporter Anthony Slater reported the details of Jordan Poole's four-year, $140 million new contract.
According to Slater, 123 million of the 140 million are guaranteed, and given the current incentive mechanism, the probability of him receiving all $17 million in incentive bonuses is very small. The first part of
is the bonus that the league considers as possible, so it will be included in the team's salary cap in advance (if not, it will not be included), with a season of $1.25 million:
1. Poole plays at least 65 regular season games, and the Warriors will enter the first round of playoffs , then he will receive a bonus of 250,000.
2. Poole played at least 65 regular season games and the Warriors made it to the second round of the playoffs, so he would receive a prize of 250,000.
3. Poole played at least 65 regular season games and the Warriors reached the division finals, so he would receive a prize of 250,000.
4. Poole played at least 65 regular season games and the Warriors reached the finals, so he will receive a prize of 250,000.
5. Poole played at least 65 regular season games and the Warriors won at least 52 wins, so he would receive a prize of 250,000.
Part 2 is an unlikely incentive part that will not be included in the salary cap in advance, with a season of $3 million:
1. If Poole gets the MVP, he will receive a prize of 1 million.
2. If Poole wins the best defensive player, he will receive a prize of 1 million.
3. If Poole is selected into any of the best teams, he will receive a prize of 500,000.
4. If Poole is selected into any of the best defensive teams, he will receive a prize of 500,000.
It has to be said that when Poole enters the golden age of his career, he may be selected for the best team, but it will be more difficult to be selected for the MVP, the best defensive player and the selection for the defensive lineup; this contract can basically be considered a four-year, $123 million contract extension. If Poole remains healthy and productive, while the Warriors remain competitive, the actual amount of this contract can reach $125-128 million.
5. Dagnut: Alexander is expected to return in the opening match
Just today, Thunder coach Mark Dagnut said in an interview that Shay Kyrgyz Alexander is expected to play in the opening match of the team. Previously, Alexander suffered a second-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament on the left knee. Last season, he averaged 24.5 points, 5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
In addition, Dagnot also said that Dolte and Kenridge Williams are expected to play in the opening game, and Muscara is currently unclear, but he participated in the team's training today.
Beijing time this Thursday, the Thunder will usher in the season opening game. They will challenge Timberwolves away.
6, O'Neal : Herro's billion-dollar contract renewal catalyzed the conflict between Green and Poole
Recently, retired player and commentator Shaquille O'Neal talked about the relationship between Herro's contract renewal and Greenpool's conflict on a podcast program.
He said: " Herro's big contract catalyzes the conflict between Poole and Green. Young people are now very impetuous, especially in the renewal. When Poole saw that Heello had obtained a big contract, he might feel that he could get a contract renewal of 145 million or even 148 million, so Poole said some trash words to Green, which angered Green, so Green taught Poole a lesson." (The above content is only O'Neal's guess, not the real situation)
or above is purely O'Neal's personal guess, which is not true, but before the conflict, the Warriors were indeed trapped by the renewal problem of Green, Poole and Wiggins. After the conflict, the renewal plan was solved and it had to be doubted.
Hiro and Heat signed a four-year, 130 million contract on October 3.
