NBA offseason continues and is getting closer to the new season. Major media have also begun to predict the performance of some teams in the new season and the strong contenders for awards. Of course, there are also teams who are seizing the last time to make possible lineup adjustments. In addition, Choi Yongxi, who had suffered injuries before, is now trying to compete in the NBA again. The Cavaliers are here to see bad news. The team's strong players suffered a fracture. It is expected that they will make further adjustments to the lineup. Let's take a look at the specific situation. Choi Yongxi rushed to the NBA again, the Cavaliers broke their bones, and the four teams competed for one person, and the Jazz also had operations. The Jazz offseason has been spreading all kinds of news, and they completed a signing earlier. According to famous reporter Michael Scotto, the Jazz and No. 53 John Tonjie signed a two-way contract. It is worth mentioning that during his college years last season, he averaged 16.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game and was selected into the All-American team. Now the Jazz have given him a two-way contract. For him, the new season depends on whether he can seize the opportunity to perform well. The lineup of the Cavaliers has basically been built before this, with 13 players with formal contracts, but their salary pressure is already relatively high. The total salary next season is US$226 million, far exceeding the second rich line, which also makes the outside world think that they expect to sign the 14th man with an unsecured contract and leave a place to start the new season, but the plan cannot keep up with the change quickly. The team is currently suffering from injuries. According to famous reporter Shams, Cavaliers defender Struz suffered a fracture of his left foot during offseason training and has undergone surgery and will be absent for 3-4 months. The injury healing in this position is relatively slow and prone to delayed healing or non-healing. In the 2024-25 season, Struss played 50 regular season games, averaging 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game; in 9 playoffs, averaging 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, which is a key link in the team's lineup. His injury disrupted the team's plan to a certain extent. This also allowed the team to start alternate adjustments. They targeted Malik Beasley.

Beasley could have renewed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Pistons due to some off-court turmoil, but now he can only sign a basic salary. Of course, he has also received the attention of many teams, including the Pistons, Timberwolves, Knicks and other teams, who have contacted him. Now that the Cavaliers have joined in, this means that at least four teams will compete for Beasley's signing. Malik Beasley performed well last season, playing 82 regular season games, averaging 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.6%, and a total of 319 three-pointers, ranking second in the league, second only to Edwards' 320. The last one is about Choi Yongxi. In the new season, many young players from the Chinese men's basketball team have chosen to compete in overseas leagues. What kind of opportunities and performance will Yang Hansen get in the Trail Blazers in the new season are one of the concerns; in addition, can Zeng Fanbo compete in the NBA with the Nets? Choi Yongxi, who was injured, did not stop.

Nets reporter Brian Lewis, who works for the New York Post, talked about the team's former player and Chinese player Choi Yongxi. He said Choi Yonghee is working hard to return to the NBA arena. He has been training in Brooklyn after his injury, and now he has left the HSS training center to prepare for 5v5 training in Los Angeles. (He) may be an option for some NBA teams. According to domestic media reports, Cui Yongxi's US agency team has been looking for opportunities for him to see if he can sign an Exhibit 10 contract. Hope there is good news, come on, dream chaser!
