Carroll, Hollis Jefferson, Ed Davis 3 people, the Nets did not renew their contracts, and they all left the team as free agents.
In this way, the Nets' lineup for next season will look like this:
Centers: Jarrett Allen, Wood
Power forwards: Beast, Jeff Green, Vanderbilt
Small Forwards: Andrew Wiggins, PJ Washington, Carter, Kyle Korver
Shooting guards: Beaubois, LeVert, Diallo, Kevin Porter Jr.
Point guard: Holiday, Jeremy Lin
The roster of 15 players is full, the two two-way contract rosters have not yet been determined, and the others are full.
Compared with last season, the main frame of the Nets has not changed, and veteran shooters and potential rookies have been added. After a year of training, the young people in the team also have experience in the finals and have grown.
There is no doubt that the Nets are still the number one favorite to win the championship next season. Whether it is the Lakers of Zhan Mei or the Knicks of Duou, they are not as strong as them on paper.
The main reason why the Nets are so optimistic is because they have beasts.
Beast is not yet 30 years old. His performance in the finals last season, it is not an exaggeration to say that his personal ability has surpassed Jordan.It takes three people to attack him, so who the hell has such treatment?
Beast is currently training with the men's basketball team in China, preparing for the upcoming Men's Basketball World Cup.
Nike has been keeping in touch with him to communicate about the upcoming Beast series signature shoes.
The Beast series of signature shoes has released 3 generations so far, namely "Beast [-]", "Beast [-]" and "Beast [-]".
This year's upcoming hairstyle, no surprise, will be the "Four Generations of Beasts".
There is nothing special about this generation of signature shoes, but for Nike, next season will be the last year of their 4-year contract with The Beast. Without the promise of the Beast, they are bound to spend a lot of money to develop the "Beast". Four generations" signature shoes.
Before the beast was born, in the NBA it was "centers don't sell shoes."This status quo has lasted for many years, but his appearance and the hot sales of the Beast series have made the market for inside players' shoes slowly pick up.
Of course, the shoes of inside players are still not as easy to sell as outside players, but the recovery of this market is visible to the naked eye.In today's sneaker market, the sneaker market for outside players is close to saturation. In comparison, the sneaker market for inside players has more potential and room for improvement.
Beast is naturally a giant in this market. After signing him, Nike also made a lot of money. It is not necessary to think too much about continuing to cooperate and signing a lifetime contract with him.
It is no exaggeration to say that The Beast is currently the top player in the NBA, with countless fans and huge commercial potential.His American agent, Bill Duffy, relied on him and made a lot of commissions.His Chinese economic team, Yu Jun, and the others often have to deal with various business leaders, and they want to cooperate too much, and ordinary small brands really can't be ranked.
Beast also established a charitable foundation in his name in China to help those in need.In his view, as a public figure, he has earned so much money, and it is his duty to repay the society and compatriots.With great power comes great responsibility.My popularity is inseparable from the support of 14 billion compatriots.
On the American side, Nets general manager Sean Marx is very efficient.Soon, he found two two-way contract players, and went to seek the opinion of the beast to see if the two could sign.
Beast doesn't care who signs players on a two-way contract. He delegates this power to Max and lets him decide for himself.
The two-way contract system does not affect anything in the eyes of the beast, and it is even a bit tasteless.Isn't it funny that players on two-way contracts cannot participate in the playoffs?Moreover, players who are really capable will not sign two-way contracts. Such players cannot really affect the strength of a team at all.
The strength of a team still depends on 15 players on the roster. More two-way players are just supplements, making the team's bench longer, that's all.
The Nets signed two players on two-way contracts, one named Chiosa, who graduated from the University of Florida and played No. 1. He was a 2018 draft pick.
The other graduated from North Carolina, was an undrafted player, and was a wing.
In this way, the Nets' lineup for the new season has been completely determined, and their 15-man roster and 2 two-way contracts have been officially determined.
Beast can be regarded as having completed a task, and he will focus on the Men's Basketball World Cup next.
The best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Men's Basketball World Cup was 7th, which was created by the team led by Beast at that time.
The 12-man roster for this year's Men's Basketball World Cup has also been announced, namely:
Defenders: Guo Ailun, Zhao Jiwei, Zhao Rui, Sun Minghui, Fang Shuo
Forwards: Zhai Xiaochuan, Abdul Saramu, Kolan Bek
Insiders: Beast, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi
Due to Zhou Peng's withdrawal due to injury, the Chinese men's basketball team's strength on the front line has weakened.
Of course, because of Beast's versatility, the men's basketball team can even form the "Big Three" lineup of Beast, Ah Lian, Zhou Qi + two guards.
This lineup allows the Beast to play the 3rd position and make up for the team's lack of striker strength.
For Li Nan, the beast is his trump card, a "Joker", a magical weapon that cannot be solved when encountering difficulties.
The time has entered April...
The training of the Chinese men's basketball team is still going on in an orderly manner...
The Chinese men's basketball team is in Group A. The three opponents in the group stage are not very strong. As long as there are no accidents, their group qualification should not be a big problem.
Beast remembers that in the previous life, when the men's basketball team was blessed with the upper lottery, they defeated Côte d'Ivoire first. They were reversed by Poland in this game, and then lost to Venezuela in the third game, and missed the group stage.
Especially in the game against Poland, Zhou Qi and Li Nan were criticized wildly, and the sideline serve was also dubbed "the world's problem" by netizens...
Beast feels that his team cannot be defeated by a team of Poland's level.If you lose to the American men's basketball team, you can say that you are not as skilled as others. What the hell is losing to Poland?Is my beast going to become a Polish center too?
Beast definitely doesn't want to be ridiculed as a "Pole" by fans. He doesn't want to be a Polish center. Poland is not good, and Chinese centers are pretty good.
But the failure of the Chinese men's basketball team in the previous life also shows how big the gap between world basketball and Asian basketball is.No matter how careless the Chinese men's basketball team is, it is impossible to lose to Asian players like Singapore or India. It is nothing more than the difference between winning 50 points and 100 points.
