Vol 2 Chapter 736: New season lineup (four / four!)

Tucker's signing also officially opened the Nets' signing in the free market.
Livingston received a lot of quotations, and he finally chose 22 years to join the Rockets, of which the second year was a player option.
David West chose to stay on the Nets. He and the team signed a one-year salary contract.
His current pursuit has always been a championship, and money is secondary to him. The Nets have just won, and he has no reason to leave.
Plumlee was a restricted free agent, the Bucks offered him a three-year, 30 million contract, and the Nets gave up the match.
The Nets gave up renewing their contract with Humphries.
The Nets successively signed with the rookies.
Tyron Wallace, the Nets and Clippers 60th pick, reached a two-way contract.
After these operations, the Nets basically retained their winning lineup last season.
Point guards: Deron, TJ McConaughey, Dezhang Murray
Shooting guards: Gordon, Booker, Brogden
Small forwards: Butler, Tucker, Jefferson Jr.
Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, West
Centers: Jokic, Oden
Two-way contract: Tyrone Wallace, Yogi Ferrer
The 13-man roster plus 2 two-way contracts, just need to add 2 more bench inside, the lineup is basically complete.
Terrence Jones, Nene Hilario, Luis Scola, Jordan Hill, Justin Hamilton, Marris Speights, David Lee ...
Jones gave Tang Tian a list of low-priced insiders on the free market.
There are not many people on this list. This is also because the free market prices this year are really chaotic. At first Cole Aldridge, who was abandoned by Tang Tian, ​​got a 22 million contract for 3 years. Solomon Hill The ordinary striker has received 52 million in 4 years, and is close to Gordon.
The Nets' four inside lines are actually enough, and Yi Jianlian can play five. No matter who is signed, he is the third substitute, not playing much time.
But inside players are prone to injuries, so they must sign.
Tang Tian asked Jones to continue with Nene and Speights. Among these people, these two may be used in the playoffs.
Jones moved quickly, but it was not good news to bring back.
After winning the Durant, the Warriors originally wanted to pursue David West, but after being rejected, they turned around and reached a one-year salary extension contract with Speights.
As for Nene, because he knew he could not get too much playing time with the Nets, he declined Jones and chose to sign a one-year 2.9 million contract with the Rockets.
This time, the two people who are trying to pursue are unintentional.
It seems that there is no suitable candidate for Tang Tian.
Terrence Jones defense is a hole, not as good as Humphries.
Scola was too old to beat.
Jordan Hill has not played in a way that is worthy of him, and because of his slow moving speed, it is difficult for him to get a chance to play.
As for David Lee, he not only defends black holes like Jones, but also hurts.
Whoever signs it feels like a waste of money.
After thinking about it, there is no suitable choice.
"Don, since everyone is the same, should we sign the more reliable Justin Hamilton?" Jones suggested.
Hamilton has no reputation and is a standard bench player, but he played well in the Timberwolves last season, playing 16 games, averaging 9 points and 5 rebounds.
One-handed three-pointer, soft touch at the rim, and good blocking ability.
Tang Tian nodded, compared to the others, this is indeed the kind that can barely top it.
But this is only one. The Nets need two.
"Maybe we should change our minds. PJ can play the fourth position. His strategic significance in the fourth position is more important. We can consider signing a third player, preferably the one with offensive firepower."
There was a sudden flash of light in Tang Tian's mind.
Jefferson is defensively good, but his offense needs to be tempered.
Substitute players are functional, now there is one who can defend, and then find another who can score, so the choice will be greater.
Jones listened to Tang Tian's words and opened his mouth.
Within two days, Jones brought Tang Tian back to a list.
In this list, Tang Tian found a name he was interested in.
Gerald Green.
Nine-finger buckleman, because he likes to cast waves, is a well-known in the league. He has played for 11 years so far, and has passed 8 teams.
His label, in the eyes of most management, is only and dunk.
The team's atmosphere destroyer, the locker room thorns, these potential attributes even let many teams avoid him.
However, Tang Tian knows that Green is not the kind of player. If used properly, it will be a good bench player like the Rockets in the previous life.
When Jones found Green, Green was unsatisfactory in the free market and even decided to go overseas to play.
However, the Nets' sincerity is not small, a two-year contract above the basic salary, so he has no reason to refuse.
Shortly after this, the Nets officially released two consecutive signings ~ EbookFREE.me ~ 6 million a year, the next year the team option contract signed Justin Hamilton.
Gerald Green was signed for a two-year, 5 million fully guaranteed contract.
At this point, the Nets' 15-man roster for the new season is officially complete.
When the Nets signed the contract, the free market also came to an end, and the signings of various big-name players have been reached one after another.
The contract between the Warriors and Durant is open, similar to James. It is also an 11 contract with a total value of 54.3 million in two years.
After the Warriors signed Durant, Barnes also turned to the Mavericks and reached a four-year maximum salary of 94 million with the latter.
Howard chose to leave the Rockets, and reached a three-year 70.5 million contract with the hometown team Eagles.
The Thunder sent Ibaka to the Magic in exchange for Oladipo, Sabonis Jr. and Ilyasova.
...
When the free market dust settled, the lineups of the teams also surfaced.
After the Warriors signed Durant, the league's strength is unique.
The Spurs retained their lineup last season and remain competitive.
After the Thunder lost Durant and sent away Ibaka, there were only four Westbrooks left in the past, and the strength dropped significantly.
The Cavaliers and Nets retain their lineup and remain the most competitive team in the East.
Changes in other teams are not enough to shake these teams.
In other words, the pattern of the new season will be more clear than last season.
The West is home to the Warriors and Spurs, while the East continues to dominate the Cavaliers and Nets.
But it is also foreseeable that this will be the Warriors 'dominant season, just like the Cavaliers' Shark lineup. All the other teams can do is try to challenge as much as possible.
