Free market opens! Rockets and Nuggets become big winners, and many teams in the West strengthen, but Hu Yong was poached
1:43am, 2 July 2025Basketball
July 1st, today is the first day of the opening of the NBA free market. There will inevitably be many signings in the league today, and there may also be transactions. As of now, more than 20 signings in the league have occurred. Generally speaking, the first hour and a half of the opening of the free market is the craziest, and now it has gradually returned to peace. Next, let’s take a look at the 10 most popular signings.
Dalou signed with the Clippers
Lopez joined the Clippers with a two-year and 18 million contract. As a 37-year-old veteran, it is very profitable to sign such a contract. Daluo's space ability and frame protection ability are needed by the Clippers. The Clippers wanted Daluo to serve as Zubac's substitute center, so that there was always a tower on the court during the team's rotation, which was also in line with Van Gundy's tactical system. In addition, the Clippers also renewed Batum, and everyone knew he would return.
Rockets signed with Finney Smith
The Rockets signed a lot today. They left Jeff Green, Holiday and Tate with their basic salary. Then the team signed Finney Smith with a 4-year, 54 million contract. The team has the ability to send out a five-front lineup next season: Amen, Durant, Finney Smith, Ethan and Jabbarry Smith. This mobility and height are all very good. In addition, they signed Capela back with a three-year contract of 21.5 million, the team's third tower.
Pelics signed Rooney with Rooney
Warriors' substitute center Rooney has left the team. The key is that everyone has also seen that several outstanding centers in the free market have been signed. In this case, they can only compete with the Lakers for Ayton. Rooney joined the Pelicans with a two-year, 16 million contract. The Pelicans wanted Rooney's playoff experience and winning culture. Rooney and Poole are friends. I don't know if this deal has anything to do with Poole, so the center left like this.
The Lakers signed Laravia
The Lakers signed Laravia with a two-year contract of 12 million. They thought the Lakers wanted to strengthen their forward defense, but they won a striker. The price was pretty good. After all, Laravia's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 42.3%, which can open up space for Doncic. In addition, I don't know if the Lakers have the intention to trade Kneckett. They may use Kneckett to sign first and then exchange, and the team's strength has become weaker.
Nuggets signed Browns
Today, the Nuggets first sent Porter Jr. and Cameron Johnson, who had the Nets' first round pick in 2012, got a middle-class special case. Later, they used this middle-class special case to introduce 23-year champion Bruce Brown, and it was only a basic salary. It is estimated that the Nuggets will operate in the future. The Nuggets are stronger now, and their substitute strength has also been improved. The team has the opportunity to win the championship, and both the Nuggets and the Rockets have been significantly improved.
The Grizzlies renewed Jaren Jackson
The Grizzlies renewed Jaren Jackson with a five-year and 240 million contract, which also indicates that the team will continue to build the team around Jaren Jackson and Morant. In addition, the team signed Jerome with a three-year and 28 million contract, the Cavaliers' top sixth man. With his signing, the Grizzlies have become stronger now. Although Bain is missing, he won Pope and got a rookie with a function similar to Bain. The competitive pressure in the West is greater.
Spurs signed Connet
Spurs signed Connet with a four-year and 41 million contract. The contract was unguaranteed for the last year. Such a price would definitely be afforded by Celtic. The Spurs planned to let him serve as the substitute center of the literary team. Connet's franchise protection and pick-and-roll ability are still good. The Spurs have always been very traditional. They are obsessed with traditional big centers. Connet is lucky, otherwise his ability would not be able to win such a big contract.
Mavericks sign Russell
When Irving will miss most of the time due to injury next season, the Mavericks urgently need a qualified point guard. Schroeder and the Kings have reached a verbal agreement long ago, while Paul wants to stay in Los Angeles. It seems that Russell is suitable. The two sides have reached a two-year contract of 13 million. Russell and Davis have worked together. The two have a tacit understanding of cooperation. The Mavericks have also strengthened them. The three No. 1 picks + 1 second place. This talent is quite terrifying.
The Kings signed Schroeder
Schroeder and the Kings reached a two-year contract of 30 million, which is just an estimated contract. The specific contract quotation has not been announced yet. Schroeder proved himself during his time with the Pistons this season. His organizational ability is what the King needs. Now, after introducing Schroeder, the King's lineup looks more reasonable. Although the Kings are still not optimistic that they can achieve the desired record in the West, they have indeed become stronger.
Hawks signed Walker
According to US media reports, Alexander Walker and the Hawks signed a four-year, 62 million contract. To be honest, the price is a bit expensive, but Walker is definitely worth a contract of over 10 million. The Timberwolves were unable to retain him in the end, and the Rockets were also interested in him, but Finney Smith was obviously a better choice, and the Hawks have become stronger. It seems that they also want to achieve results in the East, where there are many injured players next season. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 contracts? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
