Chapter 668 The King's Actions
Like his elder brother, Seth Curry is also a pitcher. In the three years at Duke University, he was able to shoot 42% of the three-pointers, but no one cares about him in the draft. Was recruited by the Warriors, but had to start in the Development League after being cut early in the season.
In the following two years, he received 10-day short contracts in the Grizzlies, Cavaliers and Suns, but he only played 4 minutes in 21 games and only scored 3 points in total.
Most of the time Seth Curry appeared in the Development League. In low-level games, Seth Curry played well. A total of 81 games, averaging 21.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
Joining the Kings this time, the contract obtained is better than before, and Seth Curry has the opportunity to gain a foothold in the league. , The king, who lacks good pitchers, expressed the hope that Seth Curry can become a pitcher like his brother.
In addition, when everyone was chasing Ade, the Kings signed the Spurs free agent Marco Belinelli.
The new contract is 3 million for three years, and there are no player options in this contract.
The 2007th pick in the first round of the 18 draft was selected by the Warriors. Belinelli played for the Warriors, Raptors, Hornets, and Bulls successively. He joined the Spurs in the summer of 2013. He played 62 games in the Spurs last season, including 9 games As a starter, he averaged 9.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 37.4% three-point shooting. He played for the Spurs for two seasons, and he has always been an important outside firepower.
The purpose of the Kings signing Belinelli is very simple, to match Cousins with an excellent outside shooter and share the offensive task of Kao Shen. His rich experience is also not available to the young Kings players.
Before the opening of the free agent market, the news that the Lakers tried to trade for Cousins spread uproariously. Gay was also considered to be sent away by the Kings. Now it seems that the Kings not only did not plan to dismantle the core lineup, but also continued to strengthen it. In addition to Belinelli, top point guards such as Lawson and Rondo are the goals of the Kings.
Of course, the biggest change for the Kings is the signing of Rondo, although the contract is only 1 million for one year.
Since becoming a free agent, Rondo, who performed poorly last season, has not been favored by many teams. It is only rumored that the Lakers have contacted him, but there has been no further news since then.In the entire league, only the Kings are seriously considering signing Rondo. In the end, the Kings signed Rondo with a one-year contract worth $1 million as they wished.
It is reported that Rondo asked the team to sign a shooter when negotiating with the Kings, so the Kings signed the Spurs sharpshooter Belinelli early this morning.It is expected that Rondo will have time to play double point guard tactics with Darren Collison in the new season.
Rondo's ability to join the Kings is inseparable from Gay and Cousins. Insiders revealed that Gay is a close friend of Rondo, and he played a key role in lobbying Rondo.Both Cousins and Rondo were born at the prestigious University of Kentucky. The two are alumni. They occasionally participate in alumni basketball games together during the offseason, and they have a good personal relationship.
Rondo is 29 years old this year. He was the No. 2006 pick in the first round in 21. Rondo has always been one of the best passing point guards in the league, but last season he encountered Waterloo in the Mavericks, which made his value plummet. In December 2014, Rondo was sent to the Mavericks by the Celtics. As a result, he never integrated into the Mavericks at all.
In the 46 regular season games he played for the Mavericks, he averaged only 9.3 points and 6.5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 43.6%. , Parsons are incompatible, the Mavericks' offensive efficiency plummeted, and what's worse is that he has repeatedly exposed conflicts with team coach Carlisle.
In the first round of the playoffs against the Rockets, Rondo averaged only 9.5 points and 3 assists per game. He averaged only 18.5 minutes per game. Carlisle obviously did not trust him. As a result, Rondo quickly announced the season due to his back injury. He was reimbursed after the game, and his career with the Mavericks ended early.
Last season, Rondo's goal has always been to get a maximum salary contract this summer, but his experience with the Mavericks has affected his worth. Now he only signs a one-year contract, which is a good thing for him and the Kings.If he spends this year rebuilding his reputation, he is expected to get a new fat contract next summer when the salary cap skyrockets.
If he continues to perform poorly, the Kings will not lose too much, and it will not affect their salary space and signings next summer.
Not only that, but the Kings also acquired Grizzlies center Koufos at a price of 4 million in four years, the last year of which is a player option, which means that he can choose to jump out of the contract in the summer of 3300 and become a free agent.
作为2008年首轮第23顺位的新秀，身高2米13的库弗斯先后为爵士、掘金、森林狼以及灰熊效力。上赛季他在常规赛里为灰熊征战81场比赛，贡献5.2分、5.3个篮板。
Of course, considering that his playing time is only 16.6 minutes, this efficiency is already quite good.
In the playoffs of last season, Koufos played 11 games for the team, contributing 3.4 points and 3.5 rebounds. Of course, his playing time was further reduced to 11.5 minutes.
It can be seen that he is an efficient inside blue-collar.
The king made a multi-line attack in the free agent market this summer, but in the battle of Monroe, Harris and even Ellis, the king ended in defeat.But fortunately, they finally signed Rondo with a one-year contract. Considering that there is still room for salary, they made another shot and won Koufus.
For the Kings, the purpose of this deal is undoubtedly to equip Cousins with another bodyguard so that he can devote more of his energy to the offensive end.For this reason, the team has used the sixth overall pick in the draft to select Kentucky center Cauley Stein.
Previously, the Kings made a deal with the 76ers, in which the Kings sent three players, Jason Thompson, Carl Landry and Nick Stauskas, plus a first-round protected pick, only from the 76ers. In exchange for the signing rights of overseas players.
The King's move is to free up enough salary space. They already had about $1000 million in space before this deal, but it is clear that their ambitions are bigger.
In this transaction, the 76ers played the role of helpers. These three players wanted Stauskas, and the other two were the top roles. In order to get Stauskas, the 76ers took it Thompson and Landry's contracts.
Stauskas was the No. 2014 pick in 8 as a shooting guard. He is only 21 years old and his annual salary in the new season is only 287 million US dollars. Last season, he averaged only 4.4 points per game, shooting 36.5% from the field and 32.2 from the three-point range. %, the marksman who had a great reputation in college did not find a rhythm after entering the NBA.
