New aid: Chek Sambu, rodney stuckey, Aaron Affara Rowe, Sammy Miga (not yet signed) left the team: carlos delfino.
The Eastern Conference final was defeated by the Cavaliers, which fully exposed the emptiness of the internal defense of the pistons after Ben Wallace left the team. But so far, Du Masi's draft and introduction have focused on the defence, and only Senegalese player 7' 1 "Cheksambu has been introduced inside. Judging from the performance of the summer league, Sambu's strength does not have much advantage compared with Muhammad. On the back line, 15 rookie Rodney stucky is a good choice, and he will replace Philip Morey and Lynch Hunt as the first substitute for Billups next season. In addition, the departure of Carlos delfino is a great loss for the Pistons. For the Pistons, delfino's height, speed and outside shooting are very useful.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Chek Sambo: 7.0 points, 5.4 rebounds 1.0 blocks, 57.7% shooting percentage, 7 1.4% free throw percentage.
Rodney stucky: averaged 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists 1.2 steals, and shot percentage was 46.4% and 33.3%.
Sammy Mega: 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists 1.0 block, 40.0% shooting percentage, 57. 1% free throw percentage.
Aaron Affara Rowe: He averaged 14.4 points, 3.4 rebounds,10.4 assists, 37. 1% shooting percentage and 33.3% three-point shooting percentage.
Cleveland Cavaliers (50 wins and 32 losses in the 2006-07 season, lost to the Spurs in the finals)
Join new: don't leave: no.
Due to contract restrictions and other reasons, as of July 25, Beijing time, the Cavaliers still have no action in the transfer market. Coupled with the transfer of the first draft pick and the second draft pick to the Suns and Rockets respectively, the Cavaliers' lineup has not changed compared with last season. However, under the current circumstances, two restricted players, Sasha pavlovic and Anderson Varacho, will renew their contracts with the team. At present, what the Cavaliers need to improve most is their guard line. In the case that the strength of other eastern teams has been improved to varying degrees, it is difficult to ensure that they can return to the finals next season with the existing staffing.
Chicago Bulls (49 wins and 33 losses in the 2006-07 season, stopping the second round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: joe smith, Joaquin Noah (not yet signed), James Curry (not yet signed), Aaron Gray (not yet signed), leaving: P.J. Brown.
No.4 is the eternal pain of the bull last season. From the beginning of the draft, the Bulls chose the passionate Joaquin-,then sent off the "Grandpa" P.J. Brown, and welcomed the No.1 scholar joe smith from 65438 to 0995. If tyrus thomas, who has made great progress, is included, the power forward problem of the Bulls has been well solved compared with last season. However, we should also note that Noah, Smith and Thomas are not really low scorers. With Garnett and Gasol out of hope, the Bulls should expect these players to contribute to the team in other ways. Thankfully, tyrus thomas performed very well in Orlando's summer league, averaging 19.0 points and 9.0 rebounds in three games, and sending out 14 blocks, which made him into the final starting lineup.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
James Curry: 9.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, shooting 50.0% from the field and 50.0% from three-pointers.
Aaron Gray: averaged 10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds10.2 assists10.2 steals, shooting 37.5% from the field and 84.0% from the free throws.
Indiana Pacers (35 wins and 47 losses in 2006-07 season, not in the playoffs)
Newcomers: kareem rush, Travis Duhesne, Stanko Barac (not yet signed).
Leaving the team: Maceo Baston
Jim O 'Brien replaced rick carlisle as the team coach.
Unconsciously, the Lakers' important substitute Karim Rush has been in the league for five years, but Rush didn't play a game last season because of a groin injury. Judging from the performance of the summer league, Rush seems to have recovered well, averaging 18 points and 4 rebounds per game. In addition, he made three-pointers 10, and made 80% of 8 shots. Travis Duane was a backup guard for the Orlando Magic. In his two-year career, he averaged 3.8 points 1.0 assists per game and hit 40.2% from three-pointers. In the case of Armstrong's "old age", Travis Duhesne will be the main substitute for Jamal Tinsley next season. Regarding the new head coach of the team, I personally feel that O 'Brien's arrival may not achieve better results than Carlisle's. On the one hand, there are some problems in the composition of the team. On the other hand, there is no conclusion about O 'Neill's transfer. In the case that O 'Neal may leave the team at any time, the Pacers are likely to continue to miss the playoffs next season.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Karim Rush: Average 18.0 points, 4.0 rebounds 1.0 assists. His shooting percentage is 6 1.9%, and his 3-point shooting percentage is 80.0%.
Milwaukee Bucks (28 wins and 54 losses in 2006-07 season, not in the playoffs)
Newcomers: Ramon Cecion (not yet signed), Desmond Mei Sen, Jake Voskuhl, Yi Jianlian (not yet signed).
Leaving the team: Oelsen Ilyasova
Sign Desmond Mei Sen and renew Maurice Williams. If we can keep restricted free agent Charlie Bell, there won't be much problem in the Bucks' guard line next season. In addition, ruben patterson and Earl Perkins are now unrestricted free agents. If the Bucks want to maintain a deeper bench lineup, the above two players had better appear in the player list next season. Compared with existing players, Ramon Chesion, selected by Bucks in the 56th overall pick, has no outstanding features. He may appear in the development league stadium next season. With the successful renewal of Morris Williams' contract and the smooth joining of Desmond Mei Sen, nothing is more important to Bucks than the joining of Yi Jianlian. As the last puzzle of the team formation, if Yi Jianlian can finally join us, it is not impossible for the Bucks to return to the playoffs next season (2005-) even if they are in the middle division of the Super League (Pistons, Cavaliers and Bulls were the top three in the East last season).
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Ramon Cecion: averaged 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, shooting 34.6% from the field and shooting 7 1.4% from free throws.
Yi Jianlian: Average 12.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists10.4 blocks, shooting 25.5% from the field and 80.0% from the free throws.
Investigation on draft and off-season operation in Southeast Division
Miami Heat (44 wins and 38 losses in 2006-07 season, stopping the first round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: Joe Anseni, Daequan Cook, Marcus Lauter.
Leaving the team: jason kapono, gary payton (retirement to be determined)
As the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league last season, jason kapono's departure will make the Heat's offensive burden fall more on Wade and O 'Neal, which will undoubtedly make it easier for other teams to defend the Heat. Rookie Marcus Lauter has the figure of a small forward, but what he does on the court is the duty of a power forward. In the case that another small forward, james posey, may also switch to his team, the Heat should consider bringing in an excellent small forward. In addition, Larry Payton's competitive level plummeted, making Miami Heat's desire to find a point guard well known. However, with the renewal of Morris Williams' contract and other defenders with certain strength joining other teams, there are not many players left for the Heat to choose from in the market. In the case that the team has lost an excellent pitcher, if the point guard problem cannot be solved well, even if Wade returns from injury next season, it will be difficult for the Heat to go far in the playoffs.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Marcus Lauter: 9.8 points, 7.3 rebounds 1.25 assists 1.25 blocks, 40.6% shooting percentage, 6 1.9% free throw percentage.
Dai Quinn-Cook: 9.8 points, 2.4 rebounds 1.2 assists 1.8 block shot percentage of 28.3%, shooting percentage of 42. 1%.
Joanne Sene: Average 1.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.25 blocks 18.2% shooting percentage, 60.0% free throw percentage.
Washington Wizards (465,438+0 wins and 465,438+0 losses in the 2006-07 season, stopping the first round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: nick young, Dominique Maguire (the contract has not yet been signed), Alekszi Pecherov, juan carlos navarro (to be determined) Leaving: None.
There is no doubt that if Arenas and Butler were not injured at the end of last season, the Cavaliers could not have won the first round of the playoffs so easily, or it should be said that if the two all-star players of the Wizards were not injured, they probably would not have met the Cavaliers in the first round (the Wizards had a better record than the Heat). The injuries of Arenas and Butler directly reflect a big problem of the Wizards: the lack of excellent scorers on the bench. In the absence of two generals, jamison had to bear the offensive burden of the team alone. The wizards' lack of scorers was well solved in the offseason. Ukrainian center Petrov and shooting guard Nick Young both have good scoring ability, especially Petrov, who is 7 feet tall, has excellent three-pointers. In the summer league 15, he made 8 shots and hit 53.3%. In addition, small forward Dominique Maguire can also contribute 12.0 points and grab 6.2 rebounds in the summer league. With the increasing strength of the reserve team, if juan carlos navarro's contract problem can be solved again, the top spot in the Southeast Division will probably change hands next season.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Alekszi Petrov: Average 15.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 44.2% shooting, 53.3% shooting from three-pointers and 53.8% shooting from free throws.
Nick young: 14.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 steals per game. His shooting percentage was 38.8% and his shooting percentage from free throws was 73. 1%.
Dominique Maguire: Average 12.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.6 steals. The shooting percentage is 4 1.3%, the shooting percentage of three-pointers is 33.3%, and the shooting percentage of free throws is 76.9%.
Orlando Magic (40 wins and 42 losses in the 2006-07 season, stopping the first round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: Rashad Lewis, Milovan rakovic (the contract has not been signed yet), Marchin Gottat.
Leaving: Dakota milicic, grant hill, Travis Duchesne.
Stan Van Gundy replaced Brian Hill as the new head coach.
Average 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists 1. 1 steals and 39.0% three-point shooting rate ... This figure is really attractive, but it is a bit excessive to pay 1. 1 10,000 dollars for it. As an excellent scorer, Rashard Lewis performed very well last season, but his worth of over 100 million yuan did not reach his true level. The team's newly signed Polish center Malsin Gotta is deliberately filling the vacancy after milicic left, but whether it can play the same role remains to be proved in actual combat. In addition, the arrival of Luis is likely to lead to the departure of Hedo Turkoglu, and it is difficult for two players with similar height and technical characteristics to appear in the starting lineup at the same time. When Hill was in the team, Magic didn't seem to have much trouble passing the ball, but after he left, the offensive tendency of point guard Djamil Nelson would be revealed. In addition, with backup guard Travis Duhesne switching to Pacers, Magic urgently needs another point guard. To sum up, with the departure of two starters, Dakota milicic and grant hill, it is not optimistic that Magic will make great progress next season.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Masingotat: Average 10.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.0 blocks, shooting 46.3% from the field and 66.7% from free throws.
Charlotte Bobcats (33 wins and 49 losses in 2006-07 season, not in the playoffs)
New aid: Jason Richardson, jared Gottfried Dutine, Jermareo Davidson (not yet signed) Leaving the team: Brian Knight.
Sam Vincent replaced Bernie Bickerstaff as the new head coach of the team.
Although Richardson himself is very reluctant to leave Golden State Warriors, the combination of Richardson and Wallace is undoubtedly a good couple for Bobcats. Jared Gottfried Dutine, the 22nd overall pick this year, is a great discovery of the Bobcats. He not only rebounds well, but also has some strength in shooting at the three-point line. On the other hand, the team had to lay off Brian Knight. The Cavaliers, second in the league's assists list two seasons ago, were plagued by injuries last season. His departure will make raymond felton, who has made great progress, the starting point guard of the team. At present, Bobcats' main lineup has begun to take shape, but in order to achieve better results, the team still needs to make more fuss about the depth of the substitute lineup.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Jared-Gottfried Dutine: averaging 12.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists10.6 steals, shooting 59.5% and shooting 50.0% from three points.
JimMario Davidson: Average 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds 1.0 assists 1.0 steals 1.0 blocks. The shooting percentage is 465,438+0.5%, and the shooting percentage of free throws is 75.0%.
Atlanta Hawks (30 wins and 52 losses in 2006-07 season, not in the playoffs)
Newcomer: El Hawad, Asifa left the team: None.
A power forward, a point guard, and the Atlanta Hawks are both well-chosen in the draft. The arrival of Elhawad and Asilo has greatly made up for the lack of the team lineup. The power forward position has always been the weak link of the eagle. Elhawad, who is now 6 times 10 inch tall and strong, will share the playing time of the team's No.4 position with Sheldon Williams. As for the point guard, Asilov showed some strength in the summer league, averaging 6 assists per game, but at the same time, his mistakes were not low. The Hawks last entered the playoffs in the 1998-99 season. Next season will be a good opportunity to enter the playoffs again.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Ashley Law: Average 13.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, shooting 44.0% from the field and 82. 1% from free throws.
Elhawad: Average 1 1.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.75 assists, 46.2% shooting percentage, 8 1.8% free throw percentage.
Summary of Northwest Division Draft and Off-season Operation
Utah Jazz (565,438+0 wins and 365,438+0 losses in 2006-07 season, lost to San Antonio in the Western Conference finals)
Newcomers: Jason Hart, morris almond, Caleiro Fishenko (the contract has not yet been signed).
Leaving the team: derek fisher
Last season, Fisher's touching scene was vivid, but in the 2007-08 season, the fans in Salt Lake City had to say goodbye to Fisher. Although Jason Hart played well for Livingston in the Clippers in the second half of last season, even so, it was difficult for him to make up for the vacancy after Fisher left the team, especially in defense. Morris almond was an excellent scorer in college, and his arrival will further strengthen the team's offensive firepower in the shooting guard position. Next season, he will compete with Gordan Giricek for the position of starting point guard. At the end of the season, there were rumors that the Jazz would move out of kirilenko, which was no longer in excellent condition. However, according to the current situation, the Jazz will keep all the original players of last season except Fisher. Last season, the Jazz was lucky to reach the final Western Conference finals. With the Mavericks determined not to be a "sewer sailboat", the Suns hoping to break through, the Spurs striving to defend their titles and the Rockets making major adjustments, the Jazz's hope of entering the Western Conference finals again is very limited.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Morris almond: averaged 12.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.50 steals, shooting 43.2%, shooting from three-pointers 18.2% and shooting from free throws 78.6%.
Chellero Fishenko: 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists 1.67 blocks, 58.8% shooting percentage, 45.0% three-point shooting percentage.
Denver Nuggets (45 wins and 37 losses in 2006-07 season, stopping the first round of the playoffs)
Joining: Chucky Atkins, leaving: steve blake.
No matter from the style of play or the data of last season, Chucky Atkins is more suitable for george karl's offensive play than steve blake. As we all know, the Nuggets lack a steady three-pointer, and Atkins will do better than Blake in this respect. Another piece of good news for the Nuggets is that kenyon martin is expected to return next season after completing the second operation. Although Martin can't immediately return to his best state of the year, his return to the team will undoubtedly increase the depth of team substitution. In addition, in 2005, Van Wolf, who was selected as the 39th player by the Lakers, performed very well in the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 24.2 points and was selected as the starting lineup of the final summer league.
Of course, the Nuggets transferred two draft picks this year to Philadelphia 76 ers and Chicago Bulls respectively. Without fresh blood, Cameron Anseni and allen iverson must perform better than last season. Considering that Nene didn't fully recover until the second half of last season, and Iverson only joined the Nuggets in the second half, after such a run-in, the Nuggets should have a good performance next season. Anseni is also full of confidence in the US team's training camp and vows to strive for the best results with Iverson next season.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Van Wolffer: averaging 24.2 points, 3.0 rebounds 1.6 assists, shooting 53.7%, shooting 44.0% from three-pointers and shooting 78.6% from free throws.
Portland Trailblazers (32 wins and 50 losses in 2006-07 season, not in the playoffs)
Newcomers: greg oden, Josh McRoberts, steve blake, channing frye, james jones, rudy fernandez (with one year left on his contract with Spanish team DKV· Joventut), taurean green and Petrie Koponen.
Leaving the team: Zach Randolph, Fred Jones, Dandeko, Jamal Magloire.
Although the level of summer league can't be compared with that of NBA, it doesn't affect our preliminary judgment on greg oden. As the outside world said, Auden is a defensive center, and his offensive strength has yet to be discovered. After losing an excellent inside scorer like Randolph, the Trailblazers' inside attack next season will fall more on lamarcus aldridge, the third runner-up show last year. On the back line, I personally think that the introduction of steve blake is a small mistake of the Blazers: jarrett jack in the team is not only younger, but also the data last season is better than Blake's (12.0 points, 5.3 assists, 6.4 points and 5.0 assists). Jack's salary next season is only 12 1 10,000, but Blake has to make the Blazers pay nearly 60,000. With the introduction of Blake, jarrett-Jack is likely to be traded. In addition, replacing Magloire with channing frye is also a favorable step for the team's long-term plan.
Trailblazers, as the owner of this year's top pick, are the team with the biggest personnel change since the offseason. However, although the prospect of the Trailblazers is very clear in the long run, it is not optimistic that the Trailblazers can make great progress next season without Randolph.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Greg Oden: 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 3.0 blocks per game. His shooting percentage is 60.0% and his free throw percentage is 12.5%.
Josh McRoberts: averaging 4.2 points, 3.6 rebounds 1.8 assists, 0.6 blocks, 35.7% shooting percentage 16.7% free throw percentage.
Tao Lin-Green: averaging 7.6 points, 2.6 rebounds 1.2 assists 1.2 steals, shooting percentage 32.4%, three-pointers 35.3% and free throws 7 1.4%.
Petrie Koponen: averaging 3.2 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 steals, shooting 46.2%, shooting 50.0% from three-pointers and shooting100.0% from free throws (2 of 2 shots).
Minnesota Timberwolves (32 wins and 50 losses in 2006-07 season, not entering the future competition)
Newcomers: corey brewer, Juwan Howard, chris Richard (not yet signed)
Leaving the team: mike james
Sometimes I feel really sorry for Garnett. Seeing that other teams are recruiting, mchale has not brought any practical help to Minnesota and Garnett in recent years. This year is still the same, except mike james for Juwan Howard, there is no sound in the Timberwolves' camp. But even if there is only such a deal, the timberwolves are definitely not the beneficiaries. As one of the team's main scorers last season, mike james has the ability to score the winning goal at the crucial moment, and his departure from the team has caused a shortage of the team's defense line to some extent. Now the Timberwolves can only count on randy foye and troy hudson, who tried to buy out the contract, but failed.
This year's seventh overall pick, corey brewer, has certain strength, but in sharp contrast to his excellent defensive ability, his jump shot and dribbling are not up to the standard of a starting small forward. Moreover, the arrival of Brewer has also caused a "crowded" front line of the Timberwolves. His team has five small forwards, ricky davis, Mark Jaritch, trenton hassell and Lachard McCants. Mchale, it's time to start thinking about rebuilding the team.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Corey brewer: 1 1.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.6 steals per game. The shooting percentage is 28. 1%, the shooting percentage of three-pointers is 22.2%, and the shooting percentage of free throws is 84.0%.
Chris Richard: Average 3.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 53.8%.
Seattle supersonics (2006-07 season record 3 1 win 5 1 loss, not in the playoffs).
Newcomers: kevin durant, Jeff Green, Delonte West, Wally Zebick.
Leaving the team: ray allen, Rashard Lewis
P.J. Calsimo replaced bob hill as the new head coach.
Kevin durant is proving to people that he has the potential to become a superstar, and Jeff Green looks like Pippen around Jordan. But after the team has undergone earth-shaking reorganization, it is almost impossible for us to see them in the playoffs. So in the short term, at least next season, what Durant and Green should consider is how to adapt to the game feeling of NBA as soon as possible and build their self-confidence relative to the team's performance. Calsimo is definitely an excellent head coach. For me, his coaching ability is much higher than that of bob hill. Unfortunately, however, Calsimo has only one reorganized Supersonic team left. Fans don't expect the Sonics to return to the playoffs in a short time. But then again, even if Lewis and ray allen stay in the team, the Sonics may not make it to the playoffs, so it is not necessarily a bad thing for the rebuilt team to win the lottery next year.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Kevin durant: averaging 24.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists 1.5 steals, shooting 33.3%, shooting 26.3% from three-pointers and shooting 84.8% from free throws.
Jeff Green: Average 14.6 points, 5.6 rebounds 1.20 assists and 0.6 steals. His shooting percentage is 43.6%, his shooting percentage is 27.3% and his shooting percentage is 73.3%.
Overview of Pacific Division Draft and Off-season Operation
Phoenix Suns (2006-07 season record 6 1 win 2 1 loss, stopping the second round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: grant hill, Alando Tucker, DJ Raberg (not yet signed).
Leaving the team: james jones, kurt thomas
If you count the playoffs, Hill played a rare 69 games last season, which is undoubtedly a good sign for him who has experienced "countless" operations. No matter from the ability or technical characteristics, Hill's quick shot into the Suns is no problem, but his arrival is also likely to make boris diaw, who lost his main position due to injury in the second half of last season, "permanently" stay on the bench. In the draft, Alando Tucker and DJ Lester Raberg are both small forwards and shooting guards, both of whom have considerable scoring ability. From the overall operation of the offseason, although james jones was lost, the offensive firepower of the Suns rose instead of falling, because they got grant hill and two rookie with outstanding scoring strength. On the contrary, kurt thomas's departure made the Suns lose heavily on the defensive end. Considering that kurt thomas has been traded to the SuperSonics, Marion, who is used to small forward, will be "forced" to the No.4 position next season, so if the Suns want to strengthen their competitiveness after entering the playoffs, they must introduce another big player with certain strength.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Arando Tucker: Average 17.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.4 blocks, 4 1.8% shooting percentage, 63.3% free throw percentage.
DJ Raberg: Average 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists 1.4 steals, shooting 40.6%, shooting 30.6% from three-pointers and shooting 66.7% from free throws.
Los Angeles Lakers (42 wins and 40 losses in 2006-07 season, stopping the first round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: Gavilli Crittenton, Derek Fisher, Mark Gasol (not yet signed), Sun Yue (not yet signed).
Leave the team: smash Parker
Kobe once said that he hoped that the team's guard position would be adjusted, not the forward line. Although the current operation of the Lakers is not sure whether Kobe can stay more firmly, the actions taken by the team will undoubtedly play a positive role. As for the effect, it depends on the next performance of the team management. Fisher "Fish" returned to his familiar Los Angeles after three seasons in Golden State and Utah. Compared with the unstable Mouche Parker, Fisher undoubtedly reassured Jackson. Rookie Varis Crittenton is also a point guard, but he has a strong desire to attack. In the absence of backup shooting guards in the Lakers, Crittenton will be arranged by Phil Jackson to play Kobe's backup. The Lakers' poor performance last season was more or less related to injuries. On the basis of a certain degree of personnel adjustment, plus a neat lineup and Kobe Bryant who continues to be brave, the Lakers should achieve better results than last season.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Varis Crittenton: Average 17.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 48.5% shooting percentage, 25.0% three-point shooting percentage and 63.3% free throw shooting percentage.
Sun Yue: 3.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 0.8 blocks per game, 30.4% shooting percentage,11%shooting percentage from three-pointers and 60.0% shooting percentage from free throws.
Golden State Warriors (42 wins and 40 losses in the 2006-07 season, stopping the second round of the playoffs)
Newcomers: Brandon Wright, Mark Bailey Nellie, Stephanie Laxme (not yet signed).
Leaving the team: Jason Richardson, Gamelo Davidson
It is true that the Warriors lack a flexible power forward, but it is still debatable to exchange Jason Richardson for Brandon Wright of the Bobcats. On the one hand, although Jason Richardson suffered from injuries all the time last season, it was his recovery that led to the Warriors' strong sprint at the end of the season. The Warriors need someone to make up for Richardson's average of nearly 20 points per game without matt barnes's guarantee to renew his contract. On the other hand, Brandon Wright has only one year's NCAA experience, although his skills are comprehensive, and there are still many aspects to be improved after entering the NBA. The good news for the Warriors is that the Italian rookie Mark Berinelli, who was selected in the first round with 18, may bring better results than expected. The Italian's outstanding performance in the summer league swept away people's doubts about him. Generally speaking, Jason Richardson's departure from the team has become a fact. If the Warriors want to minimize their losses, they should solve the contract renewal problem between matt barnes and Mikel Petrus as soon as possible.
Technical statistics of summer league matches:
Mark Berinelli: averaging 22.8 points 1.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists 1.5 steals, shooting 43.6% from the field, 44.4% from three-pointers and 68.8% from free throws.
Los Angeles Clippers (40 wins and 42 losses in 2006-07 season, not in the future)
Newcomers: El Thornton, jared Jordan (not yet signed)
Leaving the team: Jason Hart, daniel Ewing, james singleton
Small forward and point guard are the weak links of the Clippers, so the team chose El Thornton of the University of Florida and jared Jordan of Catholic University in the draft. Although the team hasn't signed a contract with jared Jordan, it's only a matter of time before jared Jordan officially joins the Clippers when Sean Livingston's status is unknown, Castle is "old" and Jason Hart moves to Utah. As for the small forward, El Thornton's physical fitness is amazing, and his vertical take-off height of 4 1 inch ranks first among all the rookies who take part in Orlando's physical examination. The long wingspan also makes Thornton, who is only 6' 7 ",a good rebounder, which has been well proved both in college and in the Summer League in Las Vegas. On the whole, although the Clippers have made some adjustments, it is difficult for them to return to the playoffs in the new season.
