A signing and a deal quietly breaking the western pattern! This favorite to win the championship is back

On the first day of the opening of the NBA free market, some companies are happy and some are sad. What’s worried about is that the Lakers Warriors have not yet strengthened their lineup shortcomings. After the Warriors lost their former champion Looney, only Post is a serious center in the team. If you play in a small lineup, you won’t be able to do it! On the other side, the Lakers have basically not made any noise since signing a character 3D player Laravia. Although their offseason goal was clear and they had long vowed to find a reliable starting inside player for the Zhan Dong combination, they did not take action. They watched Capela, Lopez and others being intercepted by other teams, and could only put all their hopes on Ayton. If Ayton could not be brought up, the Lakers would be a little unlucky next season.

Of course, there are also many happy teams. From the team's perspective, the biggest winner in the market this summer is undoubtedly the Rockets. Whether it is the renewal of the domestic price and the strengthening of the aggressiveness of the outside world, the Rockets have achieved the ultimate. In the free market, they have brought Finney Smith and Capela. The entire lineup will be directly full of forward strength and defense next season. If you sign a point guard like Paul in the future, Stone will be able to be the gods. The Eagles are also a dark horse in the market this summer. They traded to Porzingis, signed Alexander Walker of the Timberwolves for 62 million in four years, and signed scorer Kennard of 11 million in one year. Although the players operated by the Hawks are not very prominent, they can make their lineup extremely solid in the new season, with a protective basket on the inside and a large gate on the outside, and both impact and projection on the offense is in the condition of the team's health.

The Denver Nuggets are also making a fortune in silence. The Nuggets' operations are concise and clear, with one signing and one transaction. The signing was with Bruce Brown, who reached a one-year veteran's basic salary contract, and the deal was to send Porter Jr. and a first-round pick in 32 years, and get Cameron Johnson from the Nets. Speaking of Bruce Brown, this is his return to his old club. He played for the Nuggets in the 22-23 season. It happened that year that the Nuggets won the championship and Brown played a huge role in the playoffs. That year's playoffs, Brown averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 51.1%, and an offense and defense. On the one hand, he has a high football quotient. As a master of chaos, you can see him all the time on the court, full of vitality and a sensitive sense of smell on the frontcourt rebounds.

On the other hand, Brown is particularly suitable for the Nuggets' tactical system and is suitable for playing around the teacher. In fact, after winning the Nuggets in 23 years, Brown has played very average in the league traffic in the past two years in pursuit of a big contract, far less than when he returned to the Nuggets during the Nuggets period. Maybe he can also recover strongly. There are two more points. First, Brown is only 28 years old now, and he should be considered the peak in age. He is far from the situation where he should naturally decline. He has a chance to play better than in 23 years. Second, the Nuggets recalled Brown with only one year's minimum salary, and they would never lose. Compared to Brown's return, Cameron Johnson's deal made the Nuggets even more exciting because they not only completed substantial reinforcement, but also cleaned up Porter Jr.'s junk contract, saving the team a lot of salary space.

Just looking at the regular season data, Porter Jr. is not much different from two years ago, but his actual performance in the game is not the case. His role is too monotonous. As a forward, he does not have the ability to attack independently, and his three-point shooting is too dependent on his touch. He may be able to make a strong shot against a man, but he can make three shots without any touch. The most important issues are: one is too bad on the defensive end, the other is having a big potential for injury, and the last contract price is too high. In summary, it is necessary for the Nuggets to deal with Porter Jr. Cameron Johnson, who is welcomed, has an overall three-point shooting percentage similar to Porter Jr., and can completely fill the gap in sending him away. The key is to defend well and be cheap. In the words of reporter Gerald Bourguet, "He is definitely one of the purest, most likable and best-study players since I reported on the league. Even if you don't care about these traits, it's a bit unfair to rely on his elite-level running and shooting without the ball, coupled with Jokic's support."

With the current lineup, as long as Jokic and Murray's core players do not decline, the Nuggets have a chance to return to their peak in 23 years. They will disrupt the Western Conference next season. It has to be said that the competition in the Western Conference is too fierce. Several giants from Lake Yong Ship are ready to go. The Thunder has risen. The Rockets are full of strength next season. The Mavericks have the epic three No. 1 picks, and the Nuggets should not be underestimated. Looking back at the Nuggets' experience this season, they have already come back to life. During the regular season, the Nuggets' record was lukewarm and almost fell into the play-off area. The coach and general manager were fired at the end of the season, and the management also experienced a blood change. The Nuggets were turbulent at the time, and Jokic called again to hope that the team would strengthen. Maybe the Nuggets are forced to get anxious, so the possibility of rebuilding cannot be ruled out, and even at the expense of having a teacher. And now, all the turmoil in the Nuggets has subsided, and this favorite to compete for the championship has come back to life.
