Signed 3 deals, make a fortune in silence! Become the biggest dark horse next season, you have the chance to win the championship

Since the free market was opened, many teams have been perfect in operation. For example, the Rockets renewed their contracts with Van Jordan, Smith Jr. and Adams at a low price, reached a long-term contract with coach Uduka, and traded superstar Durant to introduce Finney Smith and Capela. Based on the second place in the Western Conference last season, there is no doubt that the Rockets will go further next year. For example, the Nuggets, a series of signings brought them back to life. The Nuggets dealt with Porter Jr.'s junk contract, traded for stronger and cheaper Cameron Johnson, signed Brown and Hardaway Jr., and also found a helper for Teacher Yo, Valanciunas. Before the free market opened, the Nuggets' odds for winning the championship next season were only +1,600, but now it has soared to +600. They will definitely have a chance to return to their peak in 23 years.

There is another team. There are not many signings since the offseason, but they are very targeted, which is enough to greatly improve their immediate combat power in the new season, that is, the Hawks. The Hawks had only 3 key operations. They signed Alexander Walker for 62 million US dollars in four years and signed Kennard for 11 million RMB in one year, and the deal was won by All-Star center Porzingis. Among them, Walker played for the Timberwolves last season, and averaged 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. His actual role in the game is more obvious than the data. He has excellent defense, good at squeezing screens, and accurate three-pointers. His shooting percentage is close to 40%. As one of the top 3D players at the current service, the Hawks got him with a contract with an annual salary of less than 20 million. In recent years, Walker's personal data has gradually improved.

Kennard is also familiar with everyone. He is one of the top scorers in the league. Last season with the Grizzlies, he averaged 8.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, shooting percentage of 47.8%, three-point shooting percentage as high as 43.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89.5%. He almost entered the 180 club and ranked 6th in the league in the outside shooting percentage. Although his role is relatively monotonous and his shooting is easy to target, this pure shooter-type player can provide the team with a certain explosive scoring power and can make great contributions in specific circumstances. At least in regular season games with relatively low intensity, it is very useful. Porzingis, who obtained through the trade, did decline seriously this year's playoffs, but he was actually affected by injuries. During the regular season, Porzing still averaged nearly 20 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%.

Moreover, the contract of Polygon is not large, with an annual salary of only 30 million next season, and the contract expires. The Hawks can bet on his status to recover next season. They do not require Polygon to perform at the All-Star level. As long as they can guarantee a certain attendance rate and try not to be troubled by injuries, the Hawks' deal will not be a loss. Through these three transactions, the Hawks' strengthening is evenly matched. Players of all attributes have introduced them. What is even stronger is their original lineup - a bunch of top forwards, defensive gates. The starting lineup is expected to be Trae Young + Daniels + Rissache + Jaylen Johnson + Porzingis. Trae Young is the star, Daniels is the steal king this year, and Rissache is the No. 1 pick in the NBA last year. Before being injured last season, Jay averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which was the hot choice for players who had improved the fastest.

The bench also sits in the high-quality puzzles such as Okongu, Kennard, Buffkin, Walker, and Kreich. Among them, Kreich's three-pointers are more accurate than Kennard. Last season, his outside shooting percentage reached 44%, ranking fifth in the league. Two super top scorers are already in the team. Sign 3 transactions and make a fortune in silence! Become the biggest dark horse next season, you have the chance to win the championship. For the Hawks, as early as 4 years ago, they had been the biggest dark horse in the Eastern Conference, and made a counterattack all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Eastern Conference Finals and the Bucks that year's championship Bucks had reached Game 6. If Trae Young had not been injured, they would have the possibility of a victory over the championship. Now the book strength of this Hawks lineup is obviously stronger than that of 4 years ago. It is mainly because there are all kinds of players in the team, they can attack and defend, and they are not short of shooting and organization.

Another important thing is that if you are in the Western Conference, the Hawks' competitiveness may be almost intrigued. The key is that the potential opportunities in the East next season are too great, and a number of traditional Eastern teams have fallen from the altar. Last year's championship Celtics, the boss Tatum is basically reimbursed next season; the Pacers, who just entered the finals this year, has been reimbursed, and the team is facing reconstruction as soon as they entered the finals; after the Bucks cut Lillard, no matter how they operate, there is only Antetokounmpo, an All-Star player, but they still cannot escape the fate of being alone; the 76ers' lineup is flashy, not useful, George plays the game, and Embiid suffers Waterloo this year, and it is hard to say whether he can restore the MVP level; after the Heat have sent Butler away, they have completely left the ranks of strong teams; after the Knicks replaced the head coach, it is still unknown whether they can run in with the players. In this way, the teams in the Eastern Conference that did not have a strong presence next season, such as Magic, Pistons, and Hawks, will have a good chance to rush to the forefront. Do you think this Hawks has hope of competing for the championship?
