The Kings executed Hassan Whiteside's second-year contract and signed rookie Rudy Gobert for four years, and it doesn't look like he's going to look for a big-name interior player in the free agency.Battier announced his retirement with two championship rings, and he was satisfied.He was just playing as a bench in the Kings, and if he left, he wouldn't get a big contract, and he didn't want to stick with it any longer.Kidd, who also retired from football, continues to work on the coaching staff, and he did a very good job last season, always giving some good advice on tactics and giving valuable experience to the newcomers on the perimeter.The most important thing is that Kidd and Wang Jun have a good relationship, and the two can communicate perfectly.Backup forward Jerebko joined the Pistons on a free transfer and received a four-year, $16 million contract.It's a premium contract for his performance.The Pistons are short of people at the small forward position, and he may play as a starter when he goes.The Kings suddenly lost two men at the front, so Petri signed a two-year extension to fringe Demare Carroll.The small forward hasn't played much, but he has trained hard and learned a lot from Carter, James, Wang Jun and others.Other teams don't know the value of Carroll, no one offers high salaries to poach people, but the Kings management clearly sees his progress, and if he lets him go, he will definitely regret it in the future.While guaranteeing the record, the coaching staff also takes the time to develop young players, and the salary is not high anyway.The Kings also executed power forward Patrick Patterson's final year contract, and he's sure to have a chance to play next season, with no one at the No. 4 spot.Kaman did not come to the king, and Wang Jun did not persuade him.He's looking for a team to start and he's trying to prove himself.The Kings now have three more big centers over 210 tall, and Carman has said he doesn't want to be a backup for Vucevic.Many people think that Kaman is just a stupid big man with a zombie face and thinning hair, but Wang Jun knows that he is actually a person with super self-esteem and does not want to be subservient.During the phone chat, Carman revealed that he prefers to join the Lakers, because Howard is gone, he feels that he can play as a starter, and if the Lakers return to the playoffs next season, it will increase his popularity and value.Wang advised him not to do so, because it will be more difficult for the Lakers to make the playoffs next season, and the center may be tortured to the point of madness under D'Antoni.Carman thought about it and dismissed it.Thinking about it for a week, Carman joined the Raptors for 10 million in 2 years.Camby announced his retirement after being traded to the Raptors, and the Raptors only have Ines Kante on the inside.Carman went to play as a center forward, Kante as a big forward, and formed the twin towers.Both of them can shoot and have a strong ability to evacuate.In addition, the Raptors also poached Rockets point guard Vasquez, and the lineup was slightly strengthened.The Hawks signed Brand for 1 year and 4 million.Starting center Pachulia went to the Bucks, and power forward Josh Smith was poached by the Pistons for a four-year, 56 million contract.Brand's aim is also to ensure playing time and play the ball.He could be the Eagles' starting center.Now the Hawks are determined to rebuild and have a big deal to bring in Jazz starting power forward Paul Millsap for two years and 19 million.On the outside, the Eagles dug up the Magic's Monta Aires for 41 million in 3 years to make up for the vacancy of Eagle King Joe Johnson.Next season, they should be able to make the playoffs.Many experts believe that Millsap is stronger than Josh Smith, he is a space forward with power outside the three-point line, and Smith has never been reliable in three points.In addition, Hawks point guard Jeff Teague has also improved significantly, and the starter is not weak.On July 16, the Kings made a signing, with veteran signing Antoine Jamison with a base salary.This is the veteran that James called.Jamison's desire to mix a ring at the end of his career is well known, having failed with the Lakers last season.To the king, it is possible for him to grant his wishes.He just needs to come off the bench and be a fringe man in the No. 4 position.On July 17, former Sixth Man of the Year and two-way guard Leandro Barbosa recommended himself to the Kings as a marginal man and signed a one-year final salary.His goal is also to win the championship and not care about money.Now 30 years old, the 191-year-old Barbossa is past his prime, and he can still break through the opponent with his speed advantage, worthy of the name of "Brazilian Lightning".His three-point ability is also impressive, averaging 111 points, 2 rebounds and 15 assists per game last season.On the 18th, the Kings completed the last signing of the summer, signing swingman Anthony Morrow for two years and 2.2 million "cabbage prices", adding another three-point shooting point.After Morrow entered the league, he played for the Warriors, Nets, Hawks, and Mavericks, and his career three-point shooting rate exceeded 40%, and he ranked first in the league in three-point shooting rate 200809 season.Petri believes that as long as there are stars to attract the defense, Morrow will definitely get some easy shots, play to his strengths, and provide three-point firepower.The king held a press conference, and several new signings reported together."
I'm very happy to be joining the Kings and I'm excited to have the opportunity to be teammates with Jun Wang, who is one of the best players the NBA has ever had," Morrow said. ”Barbosa smiled: "I can't wait to start the new season, and it will be a pleasure to play with LeBron and Wang Jun." ”The Kings have 14 rosters for the new season confirmed, and as they did last season, one spot is reserved in the middle of the decision on what position to sign.Centre-forwards: Vucevic, Whiteside, Gobert.Power forwards: Patterson, James, Jamison.Small forwards: Carter, Carroll, Morrow.Shooting guards: Wang Jun, Ray Allen, Barbossa.Point guards: Curry, Thomas.The Kings are all 11 three-pointers from the outside, a lineup that the Los Angeles Times columnist called a "spectacle."
ESN also jokingly called the Kings the "Sacramento Threes", and they will not worry about opening up space in the new season.In addition to the players, the Kings management has other important things to decide.On this day, Swan visited Wang Jun in Beverly Hills."
Wang, I have important matters to discuss with you, you know that Rick Adelman is retiring, and we need a replacement now.""
He told me it was a pity, but he wasn't really well."
Wang Jun sighed.Swan smiled and asked, "Now there are several candidates, who would you most like to work with George Carr, Mike Malone, Tom Thibodeau, Kidd." ”Thibodeau's contract with the Bulls expired, and he pointed out in Chicago that even if the Bulls management thought he was doing a good job, building a good defensive system, and wanting to renew his contract, he didn't want to stay any longer.He wasn't happy working in Chicago, but he proved that he was not going to be able to leave home, and many teams wanted to strengthen their defense.Wang Jun thought for a while and said: "Thibodeau is a defensive coach I don't like it, Carl and Malone are both mainly counterattacking, which is more suitable, but their defense is very bad, the most comprehensive person is Jason, although he has no experience, but he really understands basketball."
I suggest just letting him get on. ”Swan smiled and asked: "He has found you, let you support him" Wang Jun smiled and said calmly: "Of course I said it, but if he is not capable, I will not support him because I have a good relationship with him, he is familiar with me, and he is also familiar with the Kings, and he is good at controlling the rhythm when he is a player."
I think he can do it, it just takes a little bit of getting used to. ”Swan nodded.Kidd does have a lot of benefits, he did well last season, and because he doesn't have qualifications, the asking price is the cheapest.s:
