Klay Thompson to stay with Warriors
Klay Thompson signs 5-year, $190 million contract with Warriors
Editor's short comment:It’s no surprise that KT is a kind and caring person!
Tobias Harris(Sixers) & Khris Middleton(Bucks) remain with their parent team

The top small forwards at the second level of the market are all staying on five-year contracts with their original teams, and both parties have slightly less than the maximum salary (the limit is 190M in five years). The signing of the two players proves one thing: under the current collective bargaining agreement system, not voluntarily leaving the team is the option that can earn the most salary.
Nuggets extend Jamal Murray contract
Nuggets and Jamal Murray reach 5-year, $170M contract extension
Editor's short comment: The gold nuggets will not hesitate to drop the gold bars! After binding future core Nikola Jokic (and Will Barton...) at the end of last season, this year they signed a bigger contract dedicated to the team's main defender Jamal Murray.
The 22-year-old Murray has successfully lived up to the expectations of the team this season. His average points, assists, and rebounds per game have all reached career highs. He has shown his big heart at critical moments more often. The pick-and-roll with Jokic is one of the powerful weapons in the Mega League. one.

Kevin Durant signs 4-year, $164M contract with Nets
Kyrie Irving signs 4-year, $141M contract with Nets
Editor's short comment: The Nets became the biggest winner in the free market, attracting two top-paying giants at once. In terms of results, the positive team atmosphere created by the Nets helps the team attract free agents. In this season when KD is recuperating from injury, Irving will be the leader to test the suitability of the Nets' role players, and KI will once again be compared with the team led by DeAngelo Russell.
It is said that the Nets will seek DeAndre Jordan to join.

Kemba Walker joins Celtics
Kemba Walker Signed a 4-year 141M contract with Celtics
Editor's short comment:After signing Walker to fill the star point guard vacancy, the Celtics actively carried out multiple sign-and-trade deals including Rozier, Irving and others, allowing them to still have a chance to find Al Horford, the centerpiece of the penalty area who jumped out of the contract, and maintain the mid-level clause. There is a chance to maintain the capital of the Eastern Conference Final Four.

He will join the Sixers for NT$109 million over four years. In addition, the Sixers will retain Tobias Harris for 180 million yuan in 5 years. Even if Jimmy Butler leaves the team, he will still be a five-star player!
CJ McCollum extends contract with Trail Blazers
CJ McCollumSigned a 3-year 100M extended contract
Editor's short comment:As soon as they were eligible for a contract extension, the Trail Blazers immediately reached a contract extension agreement with McCollum. Including the existing contract, CJ's contract still has 5 years and 157M. The big move to renew the contract means that the Trail Blazers have chosen to cast a vote of confidence in the existing two-gun core lineup. McCollum has averaged 21 points per game in the past two seasons, and his scoring firepower can be improved again in the playoffs (25.3, 24.7) .
Draymond Green extends contract with Warriors
Draymond Green signs 4-year, $100M contract extension
Editor's short comment: This contract extension proves that Green has a high willingness to cooperate with the Warriors team. Green signed a long-term contract that is far lower than the future maximum salary. The Warriors also signed Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Green (plus D'Angelo Russell). Continue to invest in the core bones of the company. Let this team continue to have excellent combat and marketing capabilities.
