NBA offseason continues, and for each team, it is getting closer and closer to the new season, and everyone is actively preparing for the arrival of the new season. Of course, the European Championship schedule has also reached a critical stage. The frontal conversation between Shin Kyung and Jokic earlier also caused discussion from the outside world. In the end, Shin Kyung helped the team win the first place in the group to advance. In addition, many teams in the NBA reached signing earlier, and the league intervened in an investigation into the yin and yang contract between Leonard and the Clippers. Next, let’s take a look at the specific situation.

According to TA reporter Pablo Torre, a false endorsement contract between Clippers star Leonard and the bankrupt carbon neutral company Aspiration, which is worth $28 million for four years, but the job actually doesn't exist at all. The agreement also stipulates that Leonard must stay in the Clippers to get the full $28 million and cannot switch teams or retire. Relevant sources revealed that Leonard's contract was to evade the salary cap. After the news broke, it attracted attention from the outside world.

According to famous reporter Shams, NBA spokesman Mike Bass told ESPN that the league has learned about media reports about the Clippers' suspected violations and will investigate it. This is not friendly to the Clippers. The last NBA Yin-Yang contract was Joe Smith and the Timberwolves, who was fined five years in the first round. If the Yin-Yang contract is confirmed, the Clippers' future draft pick punishment will start from the time they have draft picks.

will also be fined or contract invalidation. The investigation stage is still in progress. What is the final situation? We have to wait for subsequent news. However, for the Clippers, they have already been in various troubles before the new season has begun. Now, Bogdan has suffered a hamstring strain in the European Championships, and Leonard has been investigated again. Is it still unknown where the Clippers will go in the new season?

The Nets have attracted much attention from domestic fans because of their signing of Zeng Fanbo. The Nets earlier reached two signings, and the second signing was not good news for Zeng Fanbo. The Nets officially announced that they had signed a multi-year contract extension with Delon Sharp. According to the update report of famous reporter Michael Scotto, the Nets gave Sharp more money. They signed a two-year, 12.5 million contract with Sharp, and the second year is the team option. Sharp averaged 18.1 minutes per game last season, scoring 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. This contract was expected. The second signing of the contract was a two-way contract, and they signed an EJ Liddle. Liddle played 12 games for the Bulls last season, averaging 4.4 minutes per game to score 1.8 points and 0.8 rebounds. You should know that Zeng Fanbo was also a candidate for two-way quota before. In this way, there is only one place left in the Nets' two-way contract, and for Zeng Fanbo, the difficulty of winning the contract has been further improved. Let’s wait quietly if there will be good news in the future.

Washington has frequently entered the hot search recently because of his wife's affairs. Whether he will stay in the Mavericks and what kind of contract he will sign has also been discussed by the outside world. Finally, according to Shams, Washington and the Mavericks reached a four-year, $90 million early contract renewal. The starting salary for Washington's first year of contract renewal was $19.8 million, and the fourth year increased by $24.6 million.

Washington entered a 6-month trading freeze period after signing an early contract renewal. Since it cannot be thawed before the new season's trading deadline, Washington will not be traded in the new season. Last season, Washington played 57 regular season games for the Mavericks, averaging 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting percentage of 45.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.2%. The performance is still quite outstanding. Judging from the current Mavericks' lineup, if they remain healthy in the new season, they are also a team that cannot be ignored.
