NBA: Valan leaves the team, Dig Lake and win the center, Paul chooses one of two? Suns discuss buying

The NBA free market continues, and there are not many teams operating, but many teams are still looking for possible deals, such as rumors about James from the Lakers are quietly spreading; for example, there is news that Paul's next home has been reduced to two. The Sun is also carrying out its own subsequent operations to discuss the possibility of buying out and potential transactions. Next, let’s take a look at the specific situation. NBA: Valan leaves the team, dig lake and win the center, Paul chooses one of two? Sun buyout + seeking a deal.

Nuggets got Valan in their previous deal with the Kings. Originally, this operation was added to the team's inside line, but Valan was not willing to go to the Nuggets, but intends to return to Europe. The Nuggets discussed with Valan, but the results did not seem ideal, because Valan had arrived in Athens. Famous reporter Stein quoted reports from Greek media that Valanciunas had arrived in Athens and met with Panasinakos. According to previous reports, Valan will give up his two-year $23.4 million contract with the Nuggets and is expected to sign a three-year, worth 12 million euros (about $14.1 million) contract with Panasinakos.

In this way, the Nuggets will have to find a substitute center for Jokic again. Reporter Evan Sidery reported that as the Nuggets lost their backup center again, they are widely believed to turn to chasing Horford in the free market. Currently the Warriors and the Lakers are the only teams involved in the Horford battle, but if Denver joins them, they can provide Horford with an important rotation role.

Last season, Horford still averaged 8.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 51.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.9%. Although he is 39 years old, his condition is still quite good. He is a player who can provide enough help to the team. In the end, who can win this player, the Lakers, Warriors and the Nuggets will depend on Horford's own choice next. No matter which team he goes to, he will get a lot of opportunities.

As time goes by, there are not many high-quality players left in the free market. Even if Paul is one of them, his whereabouts are still attracting some attention. After all, many teams are currently looking for open positions, including the Bucks, Pacers, Kings, Pelicans and other teams. Earlier, Paul was already considering his next home. Sources revealed that Paul had rejected the interest of the Mavericks and the Hornets, mainly due to family considerations, and Paul's family is in Los Angeles. He is currently considering returning to the Suns or the Clippers. Both teams are currently missing in the backcourt; while the Suns may be able to get the starting position, while the Clippers can only play as a substitute, it depends on how Paul will make the final decision?

The last news is about the Suns. After Lillard was bought out, the outside world has repeatedly discussed whether Bill can be bought out by the Suns. However, due to the restrictions of the league's labor-management agreement, Bill's buyout is not easy to operate. According to the latest news, the Suns have begun to discuss the possibility of Bill's buyout contract. Bill is also open to cooperating with the buyout, which is expected to accelerate his departure from the Suns. If Bill accepts the buyout, it will help the Suns avoid the second luxury tax. Without the restrictions of Bill's contract, the Suns will be able to greatly ensure the flexibility of the lineup operation. At the same time, Bill, who is not bound by a large contract, will also become a free agent that many teams are interested in chasing.

According to the rules, Bill has to give up at least $13 million in salary before the Sun can buy it out with an extended clause if it meets the rules. Sources revealed that in addition to discussing buying out Bills, the Suns have also discussed deals with several teams about Richards, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neal.

If Bill can buy out, then the trading operations of these players may be able to give the Suns the bargaining chips they want. The Suns are currently rebuilding a new lineup around Booker. What operations will be done next? Let's wait and see.
