NBA offseason continues, and the operations of many teams have basically been completed, but many teams are still undergoing subsequent minor repairs. For example, the Celtics completed a three-for-one transaction earlier. After the Jazz deal was concluded, it is expected that they will reach a buyout with Love. According to the disclosed information, Love is interested in joining Los Angeles. Although Kumingga's problem has not been resolved on the Warriors, in addition to Horford and Melton, two other players are expected to join the Warriors. NBA: 3 for 1, Love is interested in Los Angeles, and the two are expected to sign the Warriors with a basic salary. During the offseason, the Celtics made a decisive adjustment to their lineup and sent away several players to complete salary and tax cuts. Earlier, they completed another transaction, further ensuring their salary flexibility. According to famous reporter Shams Charania, the Celtics sent Nian and the next two second round picks to the Jazz for rookie RJ Louis Jr. Nian's salary was included in the John Collins trade special case together with two draft assets. Nian will return to the Jazz lineup.

In addition, after the Celtics completed the transaction, they quickly completed a contract, and they reached a one-year contract with free agent Boucher. Last season, he averaged 10 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Currently, he is expected to play an important role in this Celtic lineup. It has to be said that the two operations of the Celtics are also very obvious. One is to continue to make room, and the other uses a smaller salary contract to strengthen the depth of the frontcourt lineup. The team's strength in the new season has been further improved, and the next step depends on whether they will have other actions in the future. If the current Celtics want to achieve better results in the new season, then Brown needs to lead the team forward. What kind of performance do you think the Celtics can perform in the new season? The subsequent impact of the completion of the Celtics and Jazz's deal will appear, because after obtaining Nyan, the Jazz's regular lineup has reached 16 players. Then Love, who was sent to Jazz in a three-party transaction, is likely to be bought out. Love, who is 36 years old, still has one season left in his contract, and has a salary of US$4.15 million. Last season, he played 23 games for the Heat, averaging 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. According to the disclosed information, if he is bought out, he hopes to go to Los Angeles.

But the two teams in Los Angeles are facing the same problem. They have a place for a quota, but neither team has any salary space. The Lakers have 1.1 million space left, while the Clippers have 1.2 million space. If they want to sign, they need to make room through a deal or layoffs first. Which team do you think Love is more suitable for? If the Lakers and the Clippers want to sign Love, which player in the team can give up?

Other teams are busy adjusting their lineups further, and the Warriors are still locked in their throats by Kumingga. There is still no subsequent progress in the discussion about Kumingga. The Warriors said that they are not very interested in signing first and then switching about Kumingga, and the team owner is a Kumingga fan. He is committed to keeping Kumingga in the team and is willing to trade and send him away unless he can get enough chips.

In this way, Kumingga's problem has not been resolved for a long time, and the team's reinforcement cannot be carried out. Siegel previously reported that Horford and Melton have reached an oral agreement to sign with the Warriors; he added that Payton and Curry Jr. have also reached a similar agreement with the Warriors, and their contracts are both basic salaries. But like Horford and Melton, the two have to wait for Kumingga's situation to be resolved. What kind of ending will Kumingga and the Warriors eventually go to is one of the most concerned issues at present. Looking forward to subsequent progress.
