It is said that the Clippers receive big gifts! Ban Kairo welcomes the era of maximum salary, and the Warriors "stand still" arouses suspicion

After experiencing a brief period of calm, the NBA reached a number of important transactions and contract renewal agreements today. The Clippers, Jazz and Heat completed three-party transactions to achieve optimized resource allocation; the Magic signed a maximum salary renewal contract with core player Paul Bankairo; Bradley Beal's buyout negotiations are still in progress, but multiple sources show that he is likely to join the Clippers. It is worth noting that the Golden State Warriors became the only team among the 30 teams in the league that did not make any player trades. The Warriors remained silent during this offseason and did not reach any player introduction or trading agreement. According to industry evaluation, the transaction value of forward Jonathan Cumingga has dropped significantly, resulting in increased difficulty in potential transactions. The team's management's previous signing targets have not been achieved, and this passive situation has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the fans.

According to well-known journalist Shams Charania, the Orlando Magic renewed the contract with Ben Keiro with a maximum salary of $239 million (average annual salary of $47.8 million). The 22-year-old forward (2.08 meters tall) averaged 29.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists in the playoffs this season, showing an All-Star performance. Given its age advantage and growth potential, the contract is evaluated by the industry as a cost-effective investment.

According to Pacers reporter Tony East, the team has signed a two-year contract with free agent Wiseman. The 24-year-old center's career showed a typical fluctuation: he played for many teams such as the Warriors and the Pistons, and only got a single game opportunity last season with the Pacers. The signing aims to make up for the inside vacancy after Miles Turner left the team, marking a new turning point in his career.

The Los Angeles Clippers obtained 2.08-meter-height power forward John Collins from the Utah Jazz and the Miami Heat through a tripartite trade, effectively strengthening the team's inside strength. Although some fans expressed regret for sending off Norman Powell, considering the fierce inside competition in the Western Conference, enhancing the depth of the frontcourt is strategic. Management believes that experienced defenders such as Chris Paul and Bradley Beal in the free market can effectively make up for the loss of backcourt personnel. If subsequent signings go smoothly, this deal will give the Clippers a significant competitive advantage. The 4-year, $53 million contract signed by the Houston Rockets and Dorian Finney-Smith has structural terms. After verification, the contract was fully guaranteed only in the first two years, and the next two years were non-guaranteed clauses. This flexible contract structure effectively avoids the risks brought by players' age, reflecting the management's professional considerations in salary planning.

According to NBA reporter Evan, Kevin Love, who was just traded to the Jazz, is about to face a buyout. Although the 35-year-old veteran has been in many teams in recent years, he still hopes to join a team with the ability to compete for the championship. However, given that its competitive state has declined significantly, it is still questionable whether it can obtain a new contract.

Bradley Beal's buyout process is expected to be completed within 24-48 hours, but no official confirmation has been made as of press time. Industry analysts believe that the Clippers' previous trading of Powell may be a lineup adjustment to the introduction of Bill. Currently, only the Clippers in the league can provide a starting guard position that meets Bill's expectations, and this potential signing will significantly improve the team's backcourt strength.
