On September 30, the NBA new season training camp began. On the eve of the training camp, NBA teams signed buzzer-beating contracts in a crazy manner, completing 7 important contracts within 24 hours, crazy! 8 signings were reached overnight, 28+10 scorers joined the Lakers, and 6 steals of the thief joined the Warriors. Let's take a look at it in detail below.

Let's talk about the Lakers first. Just today, famous reporter Shams reported that the Lakers and defender Nick Smith Jr. reached a signing contract. Nick Smith Jr. was the No. 27 pick in 2023 and was selected by the Hornets. He played for the Hornets in the first two years of his career. He is only 21 years old this year, 188cm tall and has a good shooting. Nick Smith Jr. averaged 9.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game with the Hornets last season. He is a good double-season guard, but his height is a bit of a loss. On April 9 this year, in the game where the Hornets lost to the Raptors, Nick Smith Jr. suddenly broke out, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, with both career highs.

Knicks Smith's biggest selling point is shooting. He shot 43.2% of his three-point shooting percentage in his rookie season and played 51 games, which is very potential. He also played 60 games with the Hornets last season, and his attendance rate is OK. According to the official news of the Lakers, the Lakers signed a two-way contract with him this time, which also means that Nick Smith Jr. should not have many scenes in the Lakers. He should not have many opportunities to play with defenders such as Doncic, Rivers, Smart, Vincent, etc., but if he can seize the opportunity to open, considering that Vincent and Smart have a history of injury, Smith still has hope of entering the rotation lineup.

Let's talk about the Warriors. The Warriors were defended by Kumingga this summer. By 24 hours ago, they had no signings at all. At one point, everyone thought they would start the training camp for the new season with nine players. But just today, the Warriors signed seven players in 24 hours, namely Horford, Melton, Payton Jr., Spencer, Will Richard, Jackson Ronaldo and Tuxi. Among these 7 people, Payton, who has 6 steals in a single game, is a former Warriors player, and Melton is also a former Warriors player. These two defenders can defend and the other can attack, which are both good signings.

In addition, Horford's signing has also been finalized, and according to reports, the 39-year-old Horford signed a multi-year contract with the Warriors, which also means that this former Tanhua Show really will be at 40 years old, as durable as James! In addition, the Warriors signed the contract and promised him the starting center position. There is indeed something, and the "anti-letter armor" in the past is really popular. In addition, the Warriors signed defender Will Richard with a four-year contract of 8.69 million, which was the No. 56 pick this year. In addition, Jackson Roh, Tuxi and Spencer all joined the Warriors on two-way contracts. Finally, if Kumingga can sign a qualification offer, the Warriors still have room to sign Curry.
