On July 1st, Beijing time, Brooklyn Nets on the other side of the ocean received three pieces of news. Let’s take a look.
Three signings were released
Today, according to ESPN's famous reporter woj, the 76ers successfully signed free agent pj Tucker for 3 years and 33 million US dollars. In the 2021-22 regular season, Tucker will play on behalf of the Heat 71 games, averaging 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals per game; played all 18 games in playoffs, averaging 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. It is true that this signing has certain risks. After all, Tucker is 37 years old this year and will be 40 years old when this contract expires. But it is undeniable that Tucker is still a perfect championship puzzle piece. The ability to rebound and strong mental attributes can be of great help to the 76ers. It is worth mentioning that when Tucker partners with 76ers star Harden, his winning rate is as high as 68.6%, making him the teammate with the highest winning rate so far in the latter's career. Obviously, it is worthwhile to make this signing when the championship window is fleeting.
In addition to Tucker, the 76ers also completed two signings today, namely: 1. Signed free agent Daniel House for US$8.5 million in 2 years. Fans who have watched the old Rockets will definitely be familiar with House. This is A pretty good striker whose defense, shooting, and physical fitness are above the league level. As long as House plays with peace of mind and doesn't cause trouble, the 76ers' bench strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved; 2.. With a two-year contract worth 3.3 million Trevelin Quinn was signed with a USD contract. Quinn is the undrafted player in 2021. He played 10 regular season games for the Rockets and then played in the Development League. With his outstanding performance, he was successfully elected as the MVP of the exhibition league. Quinn has both potential and immediate ability, and is very motivated. I believe he has the ability to enter the team rotation and even be qualified to serve as the 76ers' chief backup point guard.
Harden is admirable
It is worth mentioning that yesterday Lakers star Westbrook and Nets star Irving both chose to execute the 40 million player option. Today, Nuggets star Jokic and Wizards star Bill and The respective teams reached a sky-high contract extension, becoming the first two 250 million players in history. In contrast, Harden's ability to make huge sacrifices for the benefit of the team and to win a championship ring is truly admirable, and I hope his sacrifices will pay off.
Durant is expected to join
So do the 76ers hope to get Durant? According to Nets reports, the return the Nets hope to get from the Durant trade is an All-Star player + several high-quality rotations and some draft picks, and what the 76ers gave just meets the Nets' needs. On the other hand, the 76ers are Durant except the Suns and the Heat (neither of these two teams can come up with chips that satisfy the Nets. The former is unwilling to offer Booker , while the latter can offer Ade. Bayeux , but because he and Simmons both signed contracts with Rose terms , according to regulations they cannot be on the same team)'s favorite team, and he has publicly praised Embiid in front of the media more than once.Various signs indicate that Durant has a good chance of joining the 76ers to form a new version of the Big Three. Let's wait and see what happens next.
