Westbrook and Benxi were selected! US media showed the remaining 7 big fish in the free market: 0 strengthen the Warriors waiting to find the gap

Westbrook was selected with Benxi! After the first wave of major adjustments in the offseason, the authoritative US media ESPN showed the remaining 7 big fish in the free market, and the Warriors were waiting to find a good opportunity to get a bargain.

Big Fish 1: Westbrook

For Westbrook, who once lost his foothold, joining the Nuggets last season was the right choice. He played a reliable sixth man role next to Jokic, which gave Westbrook the confidence to execute the player option and leave the Nuggets.

He did not return to his old club like Paul and Lillard, but was expected to join the Kings to play a substitute for Schroeder.

Although the Kings' chances of winning the championship cannot be compared with the Thunder, I believe Westbrook can continue to be himself in this team on the edge of the playoffs.

Big Fish 2: The tug-of-war between Kumingga and the Warriors is one of the few soap operas this summer. The two sides have differences in role positioning, salary renewal, and signing first and then chip exchange, resulting in the Warriors' subsequent operations being completely stuck, and they are the only team that has strengthened since the offseason.

Even so, the Warriors remained tough and were unwilling to send Kumingga away at a low price, nor were they willing to provide him with a multi-year contract, insisting on providing a two-year contract worth 45 million in the second year, which is still a team option, and requiring Kumingga to give up the trade veto.

Kuminga's team was unwilling to let go. Not only did they ask for a three-year contract of 82 million, but they also hoped to obtain the "cornerstone" status and treatment.

Big Fish Three: Ben Simmons

As the former No. 1 pick, Ben Simmons was once one of the best defenders and organizers in the current service, but due to injuries and projection problems, Ben Simmons has declined severely in the past few seasons.

As another batch of first-round picks and second-round picks enter the league, players like Ben Simmons are being compressed. Currently, 30 teams have signed 393 guarantee contracts, with an average of 13.1 people per team.

Almost only a few teams such as the Warriors still have enough space and quotas to pick up bargains and strengthen. If they cannot win the favor of the Warriors, Ben Simmons is likely to have to wait for the mid-season injury wave to get the chance to sign.

Big Fish Four: Horford

According to the Warriors' record Anthony Slater, the Warriors have reached an oral franchise agreement with Horford, just waiting to resolve the Kumingga problem to determine the final salary.

The Warriors attach great importance to this inside champion veteran and will provide him with a starting position, but considering his 39-year-old age, Horford will not play too long per game, and the Warriors are more looking forward to him being able to play his space attributes at critical moments.

Big Fish Five: Kam Thomas

As a typical weak team scorer, Kam Thomas considers himself very high and believes that he is one of the best scorers in active service and should receive a large contract with an average salary of US$20-30 million.

But according to famous reporter Jake Fischer, the Nets are cold-hearted about this and they are not willing to provide a big contract. If Cam Thomas is willing to cut his salary, the Nets will likely provide a 1+1 contract, and the next year is the team's option.

Big Fish Six: Gidey

Gidey has not signed a contract due to renewal salary issues, but his situation is completely different from Kam Thomas, and he has a core positioning for the future in the Bulls.

It's just that Giddy hopes to get a big contract with an average salary of 30 million, which makes it difficult for the Bulls to deal with. Even so, the latter did not consider trading him, and did not include it in the discussion with Kumingga's first sign-up and then exchange.

Big Fish Seven: Grimes

As the biggest surprise that emerged after the 76ers fell into an injury wave last season, Grimes also hopes to get a big contract, so the situation is similar to Kumingga, Gidey and Kam Thomas.

The difference is the details and the team's attitude. The Sixers are willing to keep Grimes, but they are not anxious, especially when the team already has Embiid, George, Maxi, McCain and VJ Edgecom. The

6ers want Grimes to accept a relatively low contract to return to role players to avoid paying huge luxury taxes, but the latter wants to get a big contract.
