On July 23, the NBA signed four signings overnight, the Rockets signed 28+7 strong players, the Lakers signed 18+12 defenders, and the Trail Blazers signed another one. Let’s talk about the Rockets. They just signed the all-round forward Okogi with a one-year, $3.1 million basic salary contract. Okogi was the No. 20 pick in the first round of 2018, from Nigeria. He played against the Chinese team in the 2019 World Cup, and was very capable and had excellent defense. He had 28 points and 7 rebounds in a single game and 5 steals in a single game.

Okogi played for the Suns and the Hornets last season. He played in 40 regular season games last season, averaging 15.6 minutes per game, scoring 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals, and shooting 34.8% from three-pointers. Judging from the scoring methods, he mainly relies on second attack, empty cut, and fast attack to score points. In positional battles, he mainly contributes defensive energy. Okogi joins the Rockets now, and the Rockets' 14-man roster is released, namely defenders: Van Vritte, Shepard, Amen, Aaron Holiday, and Okogi. Forwards: Durant, Finney Smith, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Ethan, Tate, Jeff Green. Center: Shin Kyung, Adams, Capela. This lineup has a complete hope of winning the championship on the books!

Let's talk about the Lakers. Just today, the Lakers officially announced that the team has completed the signing of defender Smart. Smart signed a two-year contract of $11 million, with an average annual average of 5.5 million. Smart gave up millions of dollars when he talked to the Wizards about buying out, which shows that he really hopes to join the Lakers and join the strong team, and does not want to be confused by the weak team. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers' dig for Smart was Luka Doncic's proposal. Doncic took the initiative to contact Smart, and Smart also happily accepted the invitation. Smart is a DPOY player, with a top defense, and has also performed 37 points in a single game and 11 three-pointers in a single game. He is not bad in terms of organization, and has performed 18 points and 12 assists in a single game.

Let's talk about the Spurs again. According to famous reporter Shams Charania, the Spurs signed a two-way contract with defender David Jones Garcia. In this summer league, Garcia performed well, averaging 22 points and 6 rebounds per game, shooting as high as 53% of three-pointers, and he was also selected for the All-Summer League Team. Garcia was last year's undraft, 192cm tall, from the Dominican Republic, played in the 76ers last year, but it was also a two-way contract and had few roles. Now that he joins the Spurs, he can fill the gap after Paul leaves.

Finally, let's talk about the news about the Trail Blazers. Just today, Trail Blazers Yang Hansen returned to China, but the signings from Trail Blazers have not yet ended. Shams reported that the Trail Blazers and Blake Wesley reached a one-year veteran's basic salary contract, about $2.46 million, full guarantee. Wesley is the 25th pick in the first round of 2022. He was sent to the Wizards this year and then bought out by the Wizards. Blake Wesley is 191cm tall and played 58 games last season, averaging 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Although he is a small role, Yang Hansen has another new teammate and is a point guard with priority assists. This is a good thing for Xiao Yang.
