NBA: Rockets are 1 for 2, Lakers are interested in three-point shooting, Knicks send 40 million to sign

NBA offseason continued, and the operations of each team have not stopped. New deals were reached earlier. The conclusion of this deal was a need for both parties and also had additional impact. The Lakers are aiming for a new reinforcement target. The Knicks also completed the signing, let’s take a look at the specific situation. NBA: Rockets exchange 1 for 2, the Lakers are interested in three-point shooting, and the Knicks signed a contract of 40 million. The Rockets have completed many important trades so far during the offseason, and the adjustment is still not over for them; Whitmore's stay and stay will become the point that needs to be operated next. According to Shams, the Rockets traded Whitmore to the Wizards for two second round picks. Whitmore averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game last season, and only 16.2 minutes per game. It was a bit surprising that I only received two second round picks.

After the team got Durant and Finney Snis, the team had enough players on the front line to maintain their depth and thickness, but for Whitmore, the situation became unsatisfactory, and he could not get the playing time and opportunity he wanted. So after the Rockets got Finney Smith, he hoped that he could leave the Rockets through a trade to get more opportunities. It is a good idea for him to come to the Wizards now. The Wizards are in the reconstruction team. For a talented young player like Whitmore, he can get enough opportunities, time and tactical status, and his future growth is very beneficial. The additional impact of

is that after obtaining Whitmore, the Wizards will not chase the Warriors, which makes Kuminga's potential next player missing. His market also suffered a cold in the free market offseason. This also makes Kumingga's future whereabouts remain confused. At the same time, this has also had a certain impact on Kumingga's trading chips, and the Warriors' subsequent adjustments will still take time.

According to previous reports, Mike Brown will become the new head coach of the Knicks, and the two sides are expected to officially sign the contract next week. The two parties have reached a contract and the amount has been determined. According to Knicks Media, this is a four-year, 40 million contract. The signing of this contract is beneficial to the Kings, because Brown currently has the Kings coach salary, which will last until the 2026-27 season. According to the NBA coach salary rules, there are offset clauses. When there is still a coach with unpaid salary finds a new job, the new contract will offset some or all of the amount in the previous contract, so the contract will save the king a lot of money.

The Knicks will spend more money on the head coach, because they have previously cut Thibodeau and have to pay him a lot of salary, which means that the Knicks will spend at least $70 million in their head coaching position in the next four years. For this Knicks, the pressure on head coach Brown will be very high in the new season.

The Lakers' adjustments are still continuing. After they got Ayton and Laravia one after another, they targeted their reinforcement targets at the shooters on the outside. Lakers reporter Jacob Rude reported that the Lakers are interested in free agent guard Ryan Rollins. Rollins attracted the interest of teams including the Lakers, Suns, Spurs, Trail Blazers and others. Rollins played 56 games last season, averaging 6.2 points, but his three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40%. The Bucks withdrew their qualification offer to him and became a full free agent, but the Bucks still hold his early bird rights, which means they can renew him with a salary cap. Now many teams, including the Lakers, will chase Rollins. But to be honest, the Lakers need to do to supplement the defensive players on the wing. The Grizzlies completed two operations earlier, and they traded Huff to the Pacers for a second round pick and a second round swap right, while they signed former Rockets player Langdale. The offseason is still continuing. Whether there will be major deals in the future, let's wait and see, after all, the Warriors are not operating yet.
