7, season preview

In the early morning of July 2, BJ time, ESPN reported that the Spurs retained Danny Green with a new four-year, $45 million contract.

Last season was Green's fifth season with the Spurs. He averaged 11.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game for the team. After renewing his contract, Green is even more looking forward to the team making gains in the free agent market. "I'm very excited.

Being able to come back, especially when we have the opportunity to get other key players. Our future is very bright. Our core team is back, and hopefully we can get one or two more key players."

Danny Green is a good 3D player, and this signing is not bad.

In the early morning of July 5th, BJ time, Yahoo Sports reported that the Spurs will sign All-Star insider LaMarcus Aldridge. The four-time All-Star insider chooses to join forces with Duncan. According to Wo Shen’s update, Aldridge

What he got was a four-year, $80 million contract, with the fourth year being a player option.

It was previously reported that Aldridge would decide between the Suns and the Spurs on his new club. In the end, Ade chose the latter. In order to clear salary space for Ade to join, the Spurs sent Splitter away and let him go.

Baines and Belinelli.

Ade immediately updated his Twitter to announce that he had joined the Spurs. "I'm happy to announce that I'm returning home to Texas and joining the Spurs. I'm excited to join this team and be closer to my family and friends." And because of that.

The Spurs have retired Bruce Bowen's No. 12 jersey, and Ade may have to choose a new number to start his Spurs career.

Aldridge, who will turn 30 on July 19, has played for the Trail Blazers for the first nine seasons of his career. On Friday local time, he informed the Trail Blazers that he would choose between the Spurs and the Suns. In the early hours of Saturday morning, he

The final decision was made. According to Wo Shen, Aldridge asked Popovich how long he would coach the team, and the coach told him that he had just renewed his contract for five years in 2014 and would continue to coach.

Sources revealed that after capturing Ade, the Spurs will list David West as their new target. The latter has just jumped out of the last year of his $12 million contract with the Pacers.

On July 7, BJ time, according to ESPN reports, free agent David West was successfully recruited by the Spurs. He will join the Spurs on a veteran's minimum salary contract of US$1.5 million.

West has played for the Indiana Pacers for the past four seasons, but he recently announced that he would opt out of the final year of his contract worth $12 million.

From 12 million to 1.5 million, West's salary cut is quite large. This news follows the news that Ginobili will continue to play for the Spurs next season, which can be described as a double blessing for the Spurs.

Last season, West averaged 11.7 points per game, shot 47.1% from the field, and grabbed 6.8 rebounds.

“At this point in my career, winning championships is everything,” West said in a recent interview. “And I’ll reiterate, I don’t want to be on a team just trying to make the playoffs.

Just a good team. I need to join a team that has the strength to enter the finals."

The Spurs are an ideal choice. Their offseason actions are orderly: first they renewed Danny Green's contract, then they signed Aldridge in a big way. In addition, Duncan and Ginobili announced that they will continue to play next season. With such teammates

, the championship is expected.

On July 17, BJ time, the San Antonio Spurs officially announced that the team officially renewed the contract with Kawhi Leonard.

According to previous reports, this will be a five-year, $90 million contract.

Leonard led the league in steals last season and was elected the best defensive player. He combined DPOY and FMVP honors. Only Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon could do this before.

.In his four-year career, he has been selected to the All-Defensive Team twice.

Leonard played 64 games last season, averaging 16.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game, shooting 47.9% from the field and 34.9% from three-point range. He scored more than 20 points in 21 games, a career high, and he also became

There were only two players who averaged at least 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals last season.

Leonard is a superstar, there is no problem with this contract.

In order to sign Ade, Leonard and Green, the Spurs spent most of their salary space, so the Spurs' flexibility in salary space to supplement the depth of the lineup has become very small. However, the addition of David West has allowed the Spurs to

The strength has not declined but has increased. In the new season, the Spurs are the Warriors' strongest opponent in the Western Conference.



On July 2, BJ time, ESPN reported that shortly after the free agent market opened, the Heat made quick moves. They reached a five-year, $90 million contract with team point guard Goran Dragic.

The fifth year of the agreement is a player option.

On July 3, BJ time, the Heat reached an agreement with team defender Dwyane Wade on a one-year, $20 million contract. The defender, who has played for the Heat since entering the league in 2003, will stay in Miami.

Although a contract extension has not been reached, and there was even news that Wade did not rule out leaving the Heat, in the end the three-time NBA champion chose to stay. As an 11-time NBA All-Star, Wade averaged 21.5 points per game last season.

Wade said in a subsequent statement. "It has been an honor to play for the Heat for the past 12 years. I have shared some wonderful moments with the Heat over the years, and I look forward to continuing our journey. I am proud of myself for the Heat."

Proud to help build the Heat."

"Miami has been my city and my home throughout my NBA career. The love and support I get here is more important to me than anything else." This is also the third time that 33-year-old Wade has opted out of his contract in the past five years.

Wade's agent Henry Thomas said of the contract, "This is a win-win deal for Wade and the Heat. Not only will Dwyane continue his Heat career, but he will have enough flexibility to sign next summer."

The next contract. The Heat will retain the cornerstone of their team and be able to build a championship-level team."
