It is a pity that the veteran of the League 3 has not yet signed the contract, and the top scorer Benxi may no longer have the glory of the past

It has to be said that this year's free agent transaction is much more lively than in previous years. Since free agents were allowed to be signed on July 1, every team in the league has been actively looking for reinforcement goals. After two days of continuous development, more than 80% of free agents have completed signing, but even so, there are still several league veterans in the market that are worthy of attention.

First of all, Chris Paul, a player who played for the Spurs last season. From Paul joining the Spurs to the end of the draft, the Spurs added two main players, Fox and Dylan Harper, to the backcourt. Fox is in his first year of playing and has an All-Star level. Dylan Harper, as the second-place finisher for 25 years, is regarded as the team's hope for the future. Add to last year's Best Rookie Castle, Paul's position is no longer on the team.

However, the failure of Paul to sign the contract at the age of 40 is not because he can no longer contribute to the team. Even last season, he still averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and held a $10.46 million contract. So there are two most likely situations. One is that Paul has salary requirements, and he is not willing to accept a basic salary contract. The two parties are still in negotiations. The second is that he has requirements for the team's status and needs the team to make a promise to ensure how long he averages the playing time.

And for the two most likely teams to sign him, one is the Eastern Conference team Knicks and the other is the Los Angeles Clippers. As for how Paul chooses, there may be an answer in the next few days.

The second place is Westbrook, a player who played for the Nuggets last season. As one of the "Three Thunders", Westbrook is currently in the worst condition. Last season, he joined the Nuggets with a contract of 2 years and $6.77 million, and averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game, indicating that he still has a lot of energy in the fuel tank.

And this summer, Westbrook is likely to not get a contract similar to a middle-class contract, and it is likely to find a championship team to transition to a season. Let’s look at the two former teammates. Durant is currently in the Rockets, holding a large contract with an annual salary of over $50 million, while Harden’s annual contract with the Clippers also has an annual salary of more than $40 million. Compared with these two former teammates, will Westbrook regret his decision to join the Lakers at that time? The third player is Horford of the Celtics. Horford still played an important role in the Celtics last season's playoffs. He averaged 27.6 minutes of playing time, scored 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists, and his salary was $9.5 million.

And this summer, because Tatum was injured, the team was unwilling to pay luxury taxes for the lineup. They had previously traded some players such as Ju Holiday and Porzingis to reduce their total salary. And Horford, who is already 39 years old, naturally did not receive a contract extension.

However, in the current market, Horford still has many teams interested in it. For example, the Lakers and the Warriors, which are relatively weak inside, may sign the championship insider to fill the lineup, but in terms of salary, Horford is likely to only get a basic salary contract.

In fact, the above three players are in a slightly better situation in the current free agent market. If you want to say that it is really worth worrying about, perhaps it is the No. 16-year No. 1 pick - Simmons.

After being bought out by the Nets last year, Simmons averaged 16.4 minutes of playing time with the Clippers, only scored 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. In the playoffs, Ben Simmons averaged only 0.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists, completely becoming a marginal figure. After the end of the season, the Clippers did not have any intention to renew their contract with him. It is still unknown where Ben Simmons will be.

However, even if a team signs, Ben Simmons is likely to be able to get a basic salary contract. And if he wants to get a big contract again in the future, unless there is an explosive performance, it will be very difficult for this former All-Star who is only 28 years old to go back!
