The Pelicans' starting lineup next season is almost speculated, and it is nothing more than the shooting guard position. Whether it is Arenas, Kevin Martin, or even rookie Oladipo, the three are enough, and Oladipo can also play in the number one and number three positions. At least the Pelicans don't have to worry about not being able to get the starting lineup next season.

After getting Martin done, the salary space was further compressed, but fortunately, the middle class had no use in full.

On July 27, another shocking deal was reached again in the summer. The protagonist of the deal was the Boston Celtics, and the Celtics sent away the remaining two of the Big Three.

On July 27, according to Yahoo Sports reporter Drian Wonarowski, a shocking deal occurred in the league in the sky!

The Nets and the Celtics reached a deal involving eight players and three first-round draft picks. In this operation, Garnett, Pierce and Terry will all go to Brooklyn.

It is revealed that the Nets will send out three future first-round draft picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018, and also get expiration contracts from Reggie Evans, Sengria and Humphries. In addition, they also use signing first and then exchange to send Bogans; and the Celtics will also send Jason Terry away in addition to sending Garnett and Pierce.

Previously, the final obstacle to this transaction was whether Garnett was willing to give up his veto power of the transaction, but in the end, the plan was approved by kg and the big deal was also announced.

It is reported that the Nets have promised not to buy out Garnett's contract in the 2014-15 season, which also means that kg will receive a full guaranteed salary of $12 million. The Celtics have been struggling with Pierce's contract. According to regulations, they either execute the "Truth" contract of $15.3 million next season before June 30, or they must buy out it for $5 million. After the trade-offs, the Celtics made a trading choice.

After trading the two Celtics elders, the Nets' lineup is also extremely luxurious. They have formed the eight most gorgeous All-Star players in history, namely Garnett, Pierce, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Brooke Lopez, David Lee and Andre Kirirenko, and the biggest brand Cameron Anthony. This also gives the team the opportunity to challenge any team to win the championship. But at the same time, the total salary of only seven stars has reached $112 million, and there will inevitably be high luxury taxes in the new season.

The Celtics made this deal officially announced that the era of giants has collapsed. The Celtics can create salary space through transactions and use the three future first-round draft picks to make a fuss. Enter the reconstruction stage.

When talking about this deal, former Celtics coach Rivers was also deeply touched:

"I know this will come, and for the past 3-4 weeks, Danny Angie has been discussing these with me. I know these things will happen. It is undoubtedly the end of an era and a sentimental chapter."

The Nets' crazy signings made all teams frightened. Although Garnett and Pierce are out of date, their form is still in progress. Last season, the Nets just lost to the Bulls, and this season, it will be difficult for any team to defeat the Nets.

The Nets have become Real Madrid in the basketball world, a huge and gorgeous aircraft carrier.

Similarly, other strong teams in the East have also begun to strengthen. On July 28, Yahoo Sports' top player Voyanarovoski revealed that the Suns' deal with the Pacers has been completed. Scora joined the Pacers; the Suns got former dunk king Gerald Green, last year's 26th pick in the first round of last year and a protected first-round draft pick in 2014.

For the Pacers, this deal will undoubtedly greatly improve the team's inside strength. After retaining the inside combination of Hibert and West, Scola's joining makes the team more in-depth. Last season, Scola played for Sunstone, and Scola averaged 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and is still very good. In his six seasons of joining the NBA, the Argentine actor averaged 14.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

For the Pacers, the team paid a lot of money in this deal. Green averaged 7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game last season. In the playoffs, in addition to getting some playing time in the series with the Hawks, Green had few opportunities to perform in the Knicks and the Heat, and was ruled out of the main rotation.

Scola's annual salary for the new season is 4.5 million, while Green's annual salary is 3.5 million. Both players' contracts last until 2015. The annual salary for the 14-15 season is the same as the respective annual salary for the new season.

Plumley's annual salary in the new season is 1.07 million yuan. Last season, he averaged 0.9 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, which is basically negligible.

To some extent, this deal is believed to challenge the hegemony of the Eastern Conference. Dime magazine pointed out that Scola's joining the Pacers is a threat to the defending champion. Alex Kennedy, a reporter from Basketball World, said bluntly that the Pacers already have a very deep lineup.

The team's main players are composed of Hill, Stephenson, George, West and Hibert; the substitutes are composed of Granger, Watson, Scora, Copland, Massinmi and Johnson. Granger can also mention the starting position according to the situation and partner with George.

The West, strengthening is also continuing. In the renewal of Ginobili and the Spurs have reached a principled contract renewal agreement with Tiago Split, a four-year, $36 million contract renewal contract.

In addition to the Spurs, the Trail Blazers are Split's strongest suitors, and they have also offered contracts that are not as much as the Spurs' salary as many as the Spurs. The Spurs have offered Split a offer, and they can match the quotes from other teams at the same price.

It is reported that the agents of the Spurs and Split have agreed on most of the details of the contract extension agreement.

Split has verbally agreed to stay in San Antonio. In the just-concluded 2012-2013 season, Split averaged 24.7 minutes per game, scoring 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds.

According to ESPN, after failing to pursue Iguodala, the Golden State Warriors did not slow down their reinforcement. Jermaine O'Neal has agreed to accept the one-year contract provided by the Warriors. Former Rockets point guard Tony Douglas will also join the Warriors.

Last season, Jermaine O'Neal, who played for the Suns, averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. He has been plagued by injuries all year round and made a total of 55 appearances in the regular season last season, reaching the second highest attendance rate in the past 10 years. Although O'Neal Jr. had also considered joining the Dallas Mavericks this summer, he eventually accepted the contract provided by the Warriors.

In addition, former Rockets substitute point guard Tony Douglas also accepted a contract provided by the Warriors. However, the specific amount of the contract has not been disclosed.

Tony Douglas was the No. 29 rookie in the first round in 2009. Last summer, Douglas was traded to the Rockets and served as Jeremy Lin's substitute since last season. In 49 games last season, Douglas averaged 8.1 points per game. However, before the mid-season trade deadline, he was replaced by the Sacramento Kings in a deal involving No. 5 rookie Thomas Robinson in the first round last year.

Now joining the Golden State Warriors, Douglas is expected to become Stephen Cory's substitute. The Warriors, who performed well last season, are now making great strides in the free agent market. Although they did not get Iguodala, their lineup strength has been rapidly improved.

Although the Warriors lost Landry and Jack this summer, with O'Neal Jr. and Douglas joining, the depth of the Warriors' bench is guaranteed.

Jack joined the Cavaliers on the 27th. He and the Cavaliers reached a four-year, $25 million agreement to take over Cleveland, and Jack's new backcourt partner was replaced by Kyrie Irving.

Last season, Jack's salary reached $5.4 million. According to the labor-management agreement, if the contract is renewed, his starting salary for the new contract will reach $8.1 million. For the Warriors, who are under great salary pressure, they will eventually have to make a decision to give up.

Jack is the number one hero on the Warriors' bench. Under Mark Jackson's tactical system, his characteristics have been fully demonstrated. In the regular season last season, Jack played 79 games. In four of them started, averaging 12.9 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. In the playoffs, Jack completed a big transformation. He averaged 17.2 points, 4.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. His big heart and steady shooting at critical moments also left a deep impression. The golden double guns he and Cory built made it difficult for the opponent to guard against.

Jack's role in the Cavaliers will be similar to before. In the Warriors, he formed a three-back rotation with Cory and Klay Thompson, and in Cleveland, Jack will form a three-back rotation system with Irving and the 2012 No. 4 pick Witters, where he may still play the role of the best sixth man.

In addition to losing Jack, the Warriors also lost Carl Landry's "Divine Bird" to return to the Kings for 4 years and $26 million. After a successful season, the Warriors undoubtedly completed a major blood change.

On July 28, according to Yahoo Sports, the Los Angeles Clippers have completed three-party transactions with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns, and Clippers' strongman Caron Butler and Bledsoe were both sent away.

The first round of the playoffs last season changed the Clippers' determination. It was not surprising that the elderly Caron Butler and the brave and unscrupulous Bledsoe were traded to leave the Cavaliers. When the specific situation of this deal was made, the Clippers sent Bledsoe and Butler to the Suns, Dudley and Bucks signed first and then exchanged for JJ Redick, and the Bucks would get two second-round draft picks.

In this transaction, both sides were able to say that they had their own advantages. The Clippers who sent Caron Butler and Bledsoe got Dudley and JJ Redick, who were good at three-pointers. Redick's arrival will undoubtedly make the Clippers' outside configuration more luxurious. Redick, who switched from the Magic to the Bucks last season, averaged 14.1 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 36.6%. Dudley's arrival strengthened the Clippers' forward line. This skilled player averaged 10.9 points per game last season, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.1%.

As for the Suns, Dudley was sent away, they got two strong players, Butler and Bledsoe. The addition of these two players is the most appropriate player for the Suns bombardment system. Butler can provide enough outside firepower to the outside on the flank, and Bledsoe's speed is also in line with the Suns' running and bombing ideas.

Although Butler, who played for the Clippers last season, was 33 years old, he still averaged 10.4 points per game and shot 38.8% from three-pointers. Bledsoe's average of 8.5 points in offensive power can also provide the Suns with a certain on-the-fight ability.

The Suns will build the future with Alex Lane, the No. 5 pick in the draft, as the core. As another team in the three-party transaction, the Bucks used Redick, whose original contract expired, to win two picks in this round by signing first and then exchange, which can be said to have made a fortune. In this transaction, the three teams achieved their respective goals. The Clippers completed the cleaning, the Suns got ready-to-play players, and the Bucks earned the draft pick.

This deal had nothing to do with the Pelicans, but the Suns actually cut Karon Butler after the deal.

The Pelicans acted quickly, Li Feng and Arenas lobbying continuously, and Caron Butler finally agreed to join the Pelicans with a basic salary. The Pelicans don't have to worry about Li Feng not having a substitute in the new season.

Caron Butler is a very standard small forward. Modern basketball's definition of small forwards is probably inseparable from keywords such as "scoring", "breakthrough", "fast attack", "outside shooting", "outside defense", "sharing part of the rebounding tasks". Then Caron Butler is such a standard small forward representative.

Butler, 33, has been constantly compared with Paul Pierce before. He is as strong as Pierce and has even better running and jumping skills, but there is still a considerable gap in technical details compared to Pierce, who is known for his comprehensive and gorgeous offensive skills.

The power forward once honed Caron's skillful low-post offensive skills and had the top back frame ability among outside players; his shooting feels good, and he was quite accurate when the opportunity to open up, but the technical details were still not exquisite enough; his fighting spirit was amazing and aggressive, but accordingly, he occasionally played the role of the black hole of the court. The ability to handle the ball urgently needs to be improved.

Now, what the Pelicans need is not only Butler's experience, but also Butler's fighting spirit. At the same time, he can also guide rookie Oladipo, allowing Oladipo to improve better.

The Pelicans were not satisfied with signing Butler, and soon they dug the Bulls' horns. They signed Paul's substitute DJ Augustin last season, and then the Pelicans signed the former Warriors' main players, Latvian Bidlins, forward guard swingers Wesley Johnson and Ryan Gomez.

The Pelicans' middle class terms are not useful yet, and then some of them signed defensive expert Ronnie Brewer. On July 29, the Pelicans' official website announced that the team officially signed outside defense expert Ronnie Brewer, with a contract of two years.

More than a week ago, the media reported that the Pelicans and forward guard swingman Ronnie Brewer reached an agreement. After Brewer successfully passed the physical examination recently, the Pelicans finally officially signed with him today. According to previous reports, Brewer received a two-year partial guarantee contract.

Brewer is 28 years old, 2.01 meters tall and weighs 103 kilograms. He can play shooting guards and small forwards on the court. After being selected as the 14th place in the first round in 2006, Brewer has played for the Jazz, Grizzlies, Bulls, Thunder and Knicks in his previous career. In his career, Brewer has played in a total of 478 games, including 301 starts, averaging 8.2 points, 3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.29 steals.

Brewer has excellent athleticism and is good at defense. He can defend three positions in the game and can effectively assist and fill in. As a mobile backcourt player, Brewer has a very fast start speed, has an excellent first step, and has a very eye-catching bounce ability. His outstanding arm span can also give him the lead in defense, thereby effectively controlling his area. In the new season, Brewer will share the defensive pressure for Ross and Arenas.

Brewer was also quite excited about joining the Pelicans.

"The Pelicans are the team I want to go to, and I think my style of playing is very suitable for this team."

Brewer said,

"I will definitely do my best to contribute to the team when I come here."

The Pelicans' lineup is officially released in the new season:

Center: Al Jefferson, Andris Biderlings.

Power forwards: Paul Millsap, Elton Brand, Jason Mark Hill.

Small forwards: Li Feng, Caron Butler, Wesley Johnson, Ryan Gomez

Scoring guards: Gilbert Arenas, Kevin Martin, Ronnie Brewer, Victor Oladipo
