Summary of the trades of five favorite teams to win this summer, the Bucks are making a big fuss, and the Nuggets are happy

Rockets fans are still savoring the ecstasy of Durant joining?

Look at the operations of the Nuggets next door.

The NBA free market was crazy in the first week of July 2025. Bruce Brown returned to the Nuggets' basic salary, Clarkson joined the Knicks for 3.6 million, and Van Jordan took the initiative to cut his salary and stayed in Houston. This is the real king of cost-effectiveness.

When giants become the norm, the smart team has long put their abacus on role players.

Brown's return to the Nuggets can be regarded as a textbook-level bargaining.

The Pacers averaged only 8 points and 3 rebounds per game last year, a decrease of 30% from the championship season. The Pacers probably regretted their grief when they slashed people.

But Jokic's system is his Resurrection A. It is not worth it to put other teams in the 10+4 panacea data at that time, but it is a lifeline in Denver. What's even more amazing is that he only uses the basic salary to sign him, and the money saved is enough to make up for two rotations. This operation is much wiser than some teams who spend 200 million in the group of Big Three.

Clarkson's money is even more outrageous.

The 33-year-old veteran was able to score 16 points in the Jazz last season, and 3.6 million yuan is now not even a rookie.

The Knicks bench was originally supported by Harten, but now it directly has multiple machine guns.

, especially Thibodeau's fault in fighting the main players, Clarkson can give Brunson less breath in 15 minutes per game, and the playoffs may really change the situation.

The most ruthless is the Rockets.

Van Jordan's original contract earned 45 million yuan annually, and the new contract directly cut to an average salary of 25 million yuan.

On the surface it is a salary cut, but in fact it locks in the window to compete for the championship in the next two years.

Last season, he led the Youth Army to second place in the Western Conference, and he was still honored even though he lost seven games in the playoffs.

Now that Durant has airborne, veterans can control the field and help Greenshenjing avoid detours.

In contrast, the sun sent Durant away to exchange for lottery, which was purely a rush to seek medical treatment.

Thunder makes a fortune in a quiet voice.

I just won the championship and won the top 3D like Kelden Johnson. I have to shoot 38% three-point shooting percentage and have to be able to switch to three positions to defend.

Not to mention that the core framework of the pressure + Chet + Jewish is fully retained, and the dominance of the young dynasty may have just begun.

Wake up those who spend money to buy giants.

The Bucks spent 150 million yuan on Lillard's luxury tax, but they directly laid off people after the first round of the game. The Clippers formed the Big Three every year, and Kawaii spent more time in suits than playing.

The real winner has long seen through: the stars decide the upper limit, and the role players decide the lower limit.

Brown's gilded return to his old boss is worth it. Asking a teacher to feed his cake can double his data.

//Van Jordan's salary cut is a true love for the Rockets. He is willing to make less money by leading new players. Now few stars can do it.

//Thunder signs Johnson outrageously. What can the defending champions help others to play?

//I don’t understand the reconstruction of the Suns’ demolition team, so what’s the picture for Durant’s chips to be sent away?

//The worst is the Bucks. Coach Li just cut off, and Antetokounmpo's eyes were full of despair...
