NBA: Rockets strengthened again, four teams competed with the Warriors, and the Trail Blazers signed a contract

NBA offseason continued, with the summer league announcing the best team and MVP candidates earlier. It is worth noting that there are only two rookies on these rosters. In addition, there are some news of strengthening, and the operational strengthening of many teams is still in progress, especially the Rockets have once again completed a signing reinforcement to continue to improve their defense. The Warriors still have no reinforcement, but one player has four other teams competing with the Warriors. Next, let’s take a look at the specific situation together. NBA: The Rockets strengthened again, four teams competed with the Warriors, and the Trail Blazers signed a contract. Since choosing Yang Hansen, the attention of the Trail Blazers has increased sharply. Earlier, they completed such a signing supplement again. HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto reported that sources revealed that the Trail Blazers signed a one-year contract with Blake Wesley. The Trail Blazers officially announced the signing. It is reported that Wesley signed a high probability that it will be a one-year basic salary contract worth about 2.46 million yuan, and the contract is fully guaranteed. He entered the league with a 25th pick in the first round in 222. In a previous deal involving Olynick, he was sent to the Wizards by the Spurs and was then bought out. He averaged 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2 assists per game in 11.8 minutes last season. This signing is a small fight to supplement the lineup.

As of now, the Warriors have not carried out reinforcement operations. Although there was news that they had reached an oral agreement with Horford and Melton, if Kumingga's problem is not solved, the Warriors will not be able to carry out subsequent operations. At present, except for Rooney leaving the Warriors to join other teams, Payton Jr.'s whereabouts are not clear. Forbes reporter Evan Sidery reported that many teams are interested in free agent Gary Payton II.

This includes the Bucks, Lakers, Heat, Suns and other teams. In addition, it is not ruled out that Payton Jr.'s possibility of returning to the Warriors is not ruled out, which means that these five teams will compete for Payton Jr. It is understood that if Payton Jr. agrees to sign a veteran's basic salary, his basic salary will be worth about $3.3 million. Payton Jr.'s salary for the Warriors was about $9.1 million last season. There is no further news about Peyton's whereabouts.

Payton Jr. played 62 regular season games with the Warriors last season, averaging 6.5 points, 3 rebounds and 0.8 steals per 15.0 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 57.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%. Payton Jr. played 11 games in the playoffs, averaging 4.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals per 16.4 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 44.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%. In some games, we can still provide a lot of help to the team. Of course, his instruction manual is still in the Warriors. As for whether to join other teams or stay with the Warriors, it depends on the subsequent progress and Peyton's choice. No matter what, the Warriors' situation in the new season is still very difficult.

The last message was about the Rockets, and no one expected that the Rockets' reinforcement operation would continue. According to famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that the Rockets signed 3D wing Okogi 3.1 million yuan a year. Okogi was the No. 20 pick in the first round of 2018, playing for the Suns and Hornets last season. He played in 40 regular season games last season, averaging 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in 15.6 minutes, and his three-point shooting percentage was 34.8%. Although his three-point shooting percentage is unstable and his efficiency is not too high, his defense is really excellent. The Rockets once again supplemented their defensive lineup, further making up for the impact of Dillon after he left the team. The players who strengthened the Rockets during the offseason include Durant, Finney Smith, Capela, and Okogie; the players who sent them away include Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks, Whitmore, and Langdale. The defense has not weakened and has strengthened the offensive shortcomings. How many points do you give the Rockets' operations in the offseason? What kind of results do you think the Rockets can achieve in the new season?
