NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The first deal was made at noon on July 1.

The Kings and Cavaliers completed a deal immediately after the free market opened. The Cavaliers sent power forward J.J. Hickson to Sacramento in exchange for the Kings' Omri Casspi and a protected first-round pick.

Both teams got their favorite players for what they needed.

Then the first signing was announced by the players themselves. Heat point guard Mario Chalmers announced on social media that he would continue to play for the Heat in the new season.

His agent Sam Goldfeder also admitted in an interview that his client has confirmed that he will renew his contract with the Heat, but the two sides have not yet determined the specific contract details.

After Chalmers announced the renewal of the Heat on his personal Twitter, James Jones' agent Joel Bell officially confirmed that Jones has agreed to sign a three-year contract with the Heat.

The Heat continued to renew players to increase the chances of winning the championship for the Big Three, and then the team began to announce the completion of signings with free agents one after another.

The Rockets' first goal was also shelved. The trade discussion between "Big Baby" Glen Davis and Brandon Bass has come to an end.

That is, Davis will go to Orlando through a sign-and-trade method, while Bass will be traded to the Celtics. Bass still has two years and $8 million left on his contract.

On July 2, free agent Tyson Chandler confirmed that he would join the New York Knicks, and the two sides will sign a four-year contract worth $58 million.

The Celtics then announced that they would use the amnesty clause in the new labor agreement to cut Chauncey Billups, who had won the Finals MVP.

Sam Hinkie is actively contacting several players selected by Tang Yu. The Rockets can only offer a minimum salary and a middle-class contract, which is very difficult for them to play in the free market.

After losing Big Baby, the Rockets' former player Hayes reached a four-year, $21.4 million contract with the Kings.

The 28-year-old 1.98-meter defensive center was also crossed off Tang Yu's list.

On July 3, the Warriors announced the release of Chinese-American point guard Jeremy Lin, and Lin officially became a completely free agent.

Almost at the same time as Lin, the Pistons' meritorious player Hamilton was also released, and the Pistons directly bought out Hamilton's contract.

In the process of laying off Hamilton, the Pistons did not use the amnesty clause in the new NBA labor agreement, but directly bought out his contract.

The reason why the Pistons wanted to throw away this guard the most was that Hamilton had conflicts with former head coaches Michael Curry and John Kuster, and the infighting made it impossible for the entire Pistons team to find the team atmosphere they deserved.

Even the fans couldn't wait to see Hamilton throw his bag behind him and leave Detroit as soon as possible.

The world is cold and the ruthlessness of the business alliance is fully revealed at this moment, but Hamilton's ability is still there. The Bulls intend to sign Hamilton if he is bought out, and let Hamilton serve as the Bulls' starting shooting guard to assist Derrick Rose.

Hamilton's departure did not make the last hero of the Pistons' Big Five choose to leave. 'Prince' Prince decided to stay and signed a 4-year contract extension with the Pistons.

On July 4, the Heat signed Caron Butler to a two-year contract to assist the Big Three to continue to compete for the championship. Butler's joining can keep the Heat competitive enough in the second lineup.

And Caron Butler must have signed with the Heat with a pay cut, which is expected to be around 7 million. The Heat did not disclose the specific amount.

After signing Caron Butler, the Heat immediately announced the contract extensions with Chalmers, Jones, and Uncle Ho.

The Sacramento Kings became one of the most active teams. While successfully introducing Hayes, the Kings also completed the contract extension with Marcus Thornton.

According to news reports, Thornton's contract is worth 40 million US dollars in 5 years. The Kings kept Thornton, and Thornton will start in the backcourt with Evans in the new season.

The Thunder then renewed the contract with the team's 24-year-old three-point shooter Daquan Cook, with a contract amount of 7.5 million US dollars for 2 years.

In order to fill the vacancy left by Chandler's departure, the Mavericks signed free agent Brandon Wright.

And Vince Carter also plans to reunite with Nowitzki and Kidd in Dallas, and the contract can be completed as early as tomorrow.

Former Lakers guard Shannon Brown will sign a one-year contract with the Phoenix Suns, with an annual salary expected to be around 3.5 million US dollars.

Sebastian Telfair finally reached an agreement with the Phoenix Suns, and the two sides signed a one-year contract.

The Spurs also began to strengthen, TJ Ford and the San Antonio Spurs hit it off, but the twoFang's contract is only one year, and he will become the backup for French sports car Parker in the new season.

Milwaukee Bucks announced that they have signed a free agent Mike Dunleavy.

Dunleavy Jr. is the second player to leave the Pacers this summer. He will go to the Milwaukee Bucks, and the two sides are expected to sign a two-year contract.

The Rockets' biggest rival, the Los Angeles Lakers, also began to make a move, announcing later that day that they had signed a white shooter Jason Kapono with a one-year minimum salary.

On July 5, Grant Hill announced that he had signed a two-year minimum salary contract with the Suns, with the second year being a player option.

Hill chose to fight side by side with Nash in the Suns.

The Wizards signed a one-year contract with the vice president of the union to help Wall build the backcourt. Free agent Roger Mason signed with the Washington Wizards for a one-year contract, and the specific amount was not disclosed.

This also means that Mason will wear the Wizards jersey again in the new season. Mason played for the Wizards from 2006 to 2008.

This year's free market lacks big-name players, so All-Stars like David West have become extremely popular players in the market.

Previously, the Cavaliers intended to send West away by signing first and then trading, so that their losses could be minimized.

The Celtics became one of West's main pursuers. They tried to trade Jermaine O'Neal with the Cavaliers by signing first and then trading to dig West.

However, the current situation shows that the Celtics' plan has obviously failed. After all, few teams are interested in chips like O'Neal, not to mention that they have to trade for players of West's level.

The Pacers have reached a signing agreement with David West, and they will recruit this All-Star power forward with a two-year, $20 million contract.

The restricted free agent of the Wizards has accepted the team's offer and will continue to stay with the Wizards Mavericks with a one-year, $3.7 million contract.

The Wizards' most explosive shooting guard last season will continue to partner with John Wall in the new season.

Trades and signings are in full swing, and the Rockets have not signed a single free agent.

Tang Yu is also urging Sam Hinkie to speed up negotiations with several players he likes.
