Thunder gave away Tobias·Harris, Andre·Roberson, in exchange for Shai Gilgeous·Alexander and a 20-year unprotected First Round signature.
In view of Clippers's record in the past two years, this draft pick is the main subject of the transaction.
But for Chen Xi who knows the situation, this is definitely a super profitable deal.
Even if Kawhi's contract expires and he directly leaves Spurs to join Clippers, it doesn't matter if the value of Thunder's contract with First Round is greatly reduced.
Just having one Alexander is enough.
Of course, currently only Chen Xi thinks so.
The outside media's evaluation of this transaction is that Thunder is avoiding taxes.
After giving away Butler in exchange for Davis, the team does not have much remaining salary space.
The contracts of Roberson and Harris are not small. Once they are sent away, a lot of salary space will be freed up.
This is quite beneficial for subsequent operations.
Presti actually thinks so. The departure of Butler, Gordon, Wade, and Deron has left a huge vacancy in the overall structure of the team.
Then it will be necessary to add more personnel in the future, but the arrival of Davis has greatly restricted his operating space.
So I had to bear the pain and give away Roberson, which had a slight premium. As for Alexander, it was just a lottery ticket. If I scratched it out, I could take Dayun. If I didn't scratch it out, it wouldn't hurt. How much is Rookie Contract worth? Even if it is a rookie in the lottery, its actual value is not high.
This value is relatively abstract and purely depends on the management's expectations for the rookie's future.
Although Alexander seems to be of good quality, Physical Talent still makes the ship management worried.
His dynamic talent is not outstanding, and statically he is very thin.
Harris is the main transaction subject that Clippers wants.
The outstanding performance and high-level shooting efficiency last season made them a little jealous of this Wing.
Such efficient Wing and Thunder are actually used as substitutes!!! What a waste!!!
Although Logo expressed his opposition to this transaction, he just joined Clippers as a consultant last year, and his voice is not authoritative enough.
He could only watch helplessly as the young defender he was optimistic about was sent away.
On July 31, Markieff Morris, whose contract expired, reached a two-year 10 million contract with Pistons and officially left the team.
Gordon, Harris, and Morris and Wing left the team one after another, which should have greatly reduced Thunder's strength at the power forward position.
However, the joining of Davis has made Power Forward, the weakest member of Thunder, become the strongest among all League.
Generally speaking, the championship team's primary goal in Off-season is usually to retain last season's lineup.
But Thunder is different. They really can't keep people. On the bench, Wade, Deron, Gordon, there is nothing they can do about it.
Coupled with the results of the negotiations with Butler, the team had to change its strategy.
So Presti simply broke away and stood up. While retaining the core of Westbrook and Chen Xi, there was another big change.
I originally thought that with the two brothers Chen Xi and Westbrook here, they would be enough to support me. No matter what happened, the situation would not get worse.
As a result, we found an unexpected surprise. The emergence of Davis made Thunder's competitiveness increase instead of decrease.
Although the transaction cost is high, the overall framework of the team in the next few years has been re-established.
And healthier this time.
Chen Xi and Davis are both very young.
Chen Xi 22 years old, Davis 25 years old.
As long as we ensure that these two people can stay in the team, Thunder will be a regular customer of Playoffs in the next ten years.
The time came on August 1, when Chen Xi got off the plane and sat with the pick-up staff to the hotel.
Thunder has reached another contract.
2.5 million per year, signed old generals, Jeff·Green.
A Wing who is 2.06 meters tall.
"Oh, Jerebko? Okay, Jerebko still has a lot of oil in the tank, it should be."
Chen Xi was sitting in the hotel, looking at the transaction information on his mobile phone, a little surprised.
The all-around Wing, Jeff·Green was the No. 5 pick in 2007. An old man from the Seattle era, he was a member of the original Thunder's Big Three. He fought in Thunder for several years and was not traded away until 2011.
This is an athlete whose heart stopped beating.
Jerebko was diagnosed with an enlarged aortic valve in his heart in 2012 and had to undergo heart bypass surgery, otherwise his NBA career would end.
In order to continue playing basketball, Green decided to undergo this high-risk surgery that would cause his heart to stop for 75 minutes.
"My heart would stop beating for an hour and 15 minutes, but I just wanted to know if I could still play."
He said this.
Fortunately, the operation ended successfully, and Jerebko finally returned to the court with only a long scar on his chest.
After that, I first played in Celtics for a few years, then wandered around in League for a few years, and now I'm back under the old club again.
Jerebko In Cavaliers last season, he only averaged 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
However, in Eastern Conference Finals's Game 7 War, Love appeared in the show when he was called in to replace Love who was injured in the head and took a truce.
Green scored 19 points this night and became James's biggest helper among Cavaliers.
Don't have high expectations for him, but he may give you a big surprise at any time.
Overall, this signing can be regarded as filling in a piece of the puzzle for Thunder's Wing position.
And, Thunder's actions don't stop there.
On the same day as Jerebko signed a contract, Thunder also signed a star.
Although he is a former star.
Vince·Carter, 5 million in 2 years, join Thunder.
Four Great Guards, Half-man Half-god, UFO, superstars of the early 20th century.
Nowadays, League is still fighting tenaciously.
It has to be said that Carter and Green embody their love for Basketball in different ways.
Bring your eyes back to your eyes.
Chen Xi stood up and walked out of the room.
Next he is going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of an important Anta branch in downtown Shanghai.
Then comes the Fans interactive session.
The long-awaited trip to China has officially begun.
Fans here is very enthusiastic.
Chen Xi and Klay are also very popular.
After spending three days and completing the trip to Shanghai, Chen Xi finally got his own rest time.
In his free time, Chen Xi treats it as an outing.
With Klay and a group of staff, we went shopping on the streets of Shanghai.
The Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower, Nanjing Road, City God Temple... In short, I visited all the popular places.
It doesn't matter whether he is not worthy of his name or whether the local people think it is not worth it.
