Chapter 433 The Pacers Team Has Changed

After the slightly sad party ended, Ye Xuan was also a little sad. Although he knew that these things were unavoidable, when he really encountered these things, he still felt a little bit lost.But Ye Xuan did not expect that, as the favorites to win the championship, they would also start a large-scale change of players.

Starting in July, each team began to negotiate contracts with their favorite free agents, and the Pacers obviously also had some free agents whose contracts had expired. The first to bear the brunt were David West and Luis Scotch. La, under the circumstances that both the executives and the coaches have made it clear that they will not renew David West, West chose to leave, although the laziness shown in the second half of this season made many teams lose interest in him. interest, but there are also some teams that are very interested in this champion power forward. The first to bear the brunt is the Spurs with Zhuge Weiqi.

Everyone knows that the Spurs have only one core, and that is their coach. No matter what kind of player Zhuge Weiqi has in his hands, he can play his due role, so although David West has already won a championship Ring, but I don't mind going to the Spurs for another year or two, so with a basic salary of a veteran, David West directly joined the Pacers' rival Spurs.

David West's departure was already expected by everyone. After all, his performance was not outstanding, and after reaching the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs, David West was directly defeated by Frank -Vogel was waived, so obviously he won't be an extension target for the Pacers.But what Ye Xuan didn't expect was that Scola also left the Pacers shortly after David West left.

Scola has been the main power forward of the Pacers since David West was given up, and his performance is also very good. The most important thing is that he has a very good relationship with Ye Xuan. The first friend Ye Xuan made in the Pacers team was Scola, but you didn't expect that the Pacers executives didn't renew Scola's contract. They thought that with the names of Paojiao and Ye Xuan, It can attract more veterans who want the championship to join, so the contract they offered Scola is also the veteran's basic salary, but Scola obviously cannot accept this kind of contract. He is now getting a 650 million at least. The same blue-collar contract, so the same offer, let Scola leave the Pacers and go to the Raptors in Canada.

Scola has left, but the Pacers are still cleaning up their players in their own way, like a general cleaning, abandoning everyone except a few core players, CJ-Watson became the next The target of being sacrificed, the Pacers are not even willing to provide this bench bandit with a contract with an annual salary of 300 million, so CJ-Watson was forced to choose to sign a contract with an annual salary of 350 million with the Magic. and left.

In addition, Ronnie Stuckey, who couldn't play in the Pacers, also left the team. This time, the Pacers almost left half of the team, although they are not indispensable in the team. Players, but this approach undoubtedly reminds everyone of the behavior of the Pacers' executives sending Danny Granger away at the price of cabbage. This approach can only be described in one word, that is, cold-blooded.The top management of the Pacers is also known as the most impersonal management.

However, if there are those who leave, there are those who stay. JR-Smith's performance this season can be regarded as conquering Coach Frank and the Pacers uniform team. Therefore, during the signing negotiations, the management was very generous. JR-Smith has a two-year 1200 million contract, of which the annual salary in the first year is 550 million US dollars, and the second year is 650 million US dollars, and JR-Smith also has player options in the second year.

JR-Smith renewed his contract, and Iman Shumpert was also retained by his contract. Shumpert also performed very well on the defensive end last season, so as a rising player, the Pacers The team provided him with a 4-year contract of 3500 million W. This contract looks very good, but there are some small mechanisms in the middle. First of all, Shumpert’s first-year salary can only receive 700 million W, but as compensation, Shamber Te has a player option for two consecutive years starting in his third year.

JR was retained, which is good news for Ye Xuan who has lost several teammates one after another.Since then, the reinforcement of the Pacers is another good news for Ye Xuan. First of all, the Pacers snatched Jordan Hill from the Lakers. A strong inside line with 12 points and 8 rebounds each. After losing David West, Luis Scola and Jermaine O'Neal, the Pacers' inside line has become somewhat empty, so they also directly Signed Jordan Hill with a one-year contract of 500 million.

But the next signing made Ye Xuan a little unhappy. The Pacers uniform team signed another All-Star point guard without any communication, which made Ye Xuan a little bit unhappy. Feel humiliated. On July 7th, Ye Xuan still learned from TV that the Pacers had signed Rajon Rondo with a one-year contract of 15 million.

Now Ye Xuan didn't understand what the Pacers' uniform team was doing. Could it be that Rondo was signed to play as his own substitute?Or do they want to appear elsewhere?But no matter what, Ye Xuan signed a player who came to compete for the ball with him without the slightest warning, Ye Xuan still felt that the uniform team didn't take him seriously.

Since then, the Pacers have exchanged Damian Rudez, a second-year rookie whose team has been assigned to the Development League, from the Timberwolves for another Rockets waivers, Chase Budinger.I don’t know if the Pacers executives are obsessed with mobile phones and the Rockets have given up. First, there was a Luis Scola who had just let go, and now Chase Budinger has been brought in. Don’t forget Jordan Hill Also used to be a Rockets player.

But so far, the Pacers' basic framework for the new season has come out, and there are still two center forwards, Mahinmi and Hibbert.At power forward, there are Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill, two Rockets waivers. There are more candidates for small forward. Pickle and JR-Smith are both small forwards, while Shumpert and Solomon - Hill also has experience at small forward, and all four could play both small forward and shooting guard positions.As for the point guards, they are Ye Xuan and Rajon Rondo.
