With four maximum-salary contracts already in the team, the Suns formed a “basic-salary team” today, consisting of two guards Damion Lee and Josh Okogie; (Drew Eubanks) and Metu (Chimezie Metu), and the Japanese striker Yuta Watanabe recruited by Durant. The only non-basic salary is the signing of 3D giant Keita Bates-Diop with $5 million for 2 years. On the first day of the free market, he signed 6 players, and the lineup is almost filled. This team won the championship. The train is ready to go.
As the “high wing” of the league trend, Yuta Watanabe and Baez Jup are necessary members of the team who want to compete for the championship. Yuta Watanabe averaged 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game this season. Although it seems ordinary, the biggest selling point is that his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 44.4%. Because he was appreciated by Durant when he was in the Nets, it was also reported that KD himself Recruitment, and today it is also confirmed that he will join the Suns to assist the superstar with a basic salary of one year.
As for another 3D striker, Baez Jupp also shot nearly 40% from the outside this season, and started more than half of the games. He once smashed the Lakers with 30 points in a single game. At the end of the day, he is also the only new aid signed by the Suns today with a non-basic salary. The contract is 5 million US dollars for 2 years, and he can jump out of the contract in the second year.
In addition, Lee, who was already in the Suns last season, is an important shooter for the team. In addition to his free throw percentage as high as 90%, his 44.5% three-point shooting percentage is only behind Al Horford (Al Horford) and Kennard ( Luke Kennard) ranked third, averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season, and can provide a certain amount of energy on the bench. Okogie, who is also a veteran player, is not as bright as Li on the offensive end, but he is a defensive champion on the field. Both Lee and Lee will continue to stay in Arizona with a basic salary, but Lee has an extra year player option.
In the end, the two basic-salary new reinforcements are all grown-ups produced by the Spurs, but they have achieved results after transferring to the team. First of all, after Eubanks moved to the Trail Blazers in the middle of last year, he seized the opportunity during the team training and averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. He has the right to choose; as for Metu, he played well after coming to Sacramento. During his three-year career with the Kings, he mostly started off the bench, averaging 6.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game. With a minimum salary of 1 year, the Suns won the championship train.
Although the salary space is full, the Suns are still under harsh conditions and have recruited many solid green leaves into the team. Now the team roster is almost filled, which means that the reinforcement action may come to an end.
