On October 21, the new NBA season is about to start, and it is very lively off the court. Two more billion-dollar contracts have been reached. The Nuggets and Braun signed a five-year, US$125 million early contract extension, and Daniels signed a five-year, US$100 million contract with the Hawks. The Rockets failed to renew their contract with Ethan, which also means that the latter will become a restricted free agent next year. The NBA officially announced the first team strength list of the new season, with the defending champion Thunder ranking first.

The Nuggets officially announced that the team has signed a multi-year early contract extension with Braun. According to outside reports, the two parties signed a five-year, US$125 million contract, and the Nuggets are also very sincere. Braun was the No. 21 pick in 2022, and won the championship with the team in 2023. He himself is also constantly improving. Last season, he averaged 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, and shot 39.7% from three-point range, becoming an important part of the team.

The Eagles officially announced that the team and Daniels have reached a multi-year early contract extension. It is reported that the two parties signed a four-year, US$100 million contract without any options. Last season, Daniels showed excellent defensive ability, averaging 3 steals per game and leading the league in steals. He was also selected to the All-Defensive Team and ranked second in the Best Defensive Player selection. Last season, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.0 steals per game, which also allowed him to get a good contract as he wished.

The Rockets and Ethan failed to reach an early contract extension, and negotiations between the two parties failed. It is reported that the two sides have had great differences in their conversations in the past few weeks, and they continued to work hard in the end, but still failed. With the failure to reach an early contract extension, Eason will become a restricted free agent next summer, and his performance in the new season will also be the key to whether he can get a larger contract. However, the current failure to reach an agreement does not mean that Ethan will leave. It is also very likely that the two parties will wait until next summer to reach an agreement.

The NBA officially announced the team strength list for the first period of the new season. The defending champion Thunder ranked first without any suspense, followed by the Nuggets, Cavaliers, Knicks and Timberwolves, followed by the Clippers, Rockets and Warriors, and the Lakers ranked tenth. Seven of the top ten teams on the strength list are from the Western Conference, which shows that competition in the Western Conference will become more intense in the new season. On the Eastern side, the 76ers and Celtics are only ranked 18th and 19th, and the Trail Blazers played by Yang Hansen are ranked 22nd.
