2 news overnight! Dream Chasing Green asks for a maximum salary extension, the Clippers intend to Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi or return to the NBA

On July 27, Beijing time, the NBA is in the offseason. In recent times, perhaps the entire league has been concerned about the trade rumors between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets. Where will Westbrook, Irving and Durant go next season will be the league's most important issue. However, none of the three transactions have been updated. Although many teams are interested in Durant, the Nets' offer for Durant is too high, and no team is willing to pay their satisfaction.

And Irving recently expressed his desire to stay with the Nets next season, and trade rumors about him have all but vanished. Westbrook is an exception. Due to his poor performance last season, Westbrook has become a negative asset, and no team is willing to accept him into their own team. Although the transactions of the three giants have been temporarily put on hold, there are still some new news rumors in the alliance, one night 2 news! Dream Chasing Green asked for a maximum salary extension, and the Clippers intend to Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi or return to the NBA.

Dream Chaser Green asks for max salary extension

On July 27, according to The Athletic's Anthony Salater, the Golden State Warriors' Dream Chaser Green hopes and believes he deserves a max contract extension. At the beginning of August, Green was eligible to sign a four-year advance contract. The data shows that Green's contract next season is 25.8 million US dollars, and the 2023-24 season contract is a player option of 27.5 million US dollars. Green's advance contract includes jumping out of the final year. The contract, signed a four-year $138 million contract, which is an overall $164 million contract in the next five years. After the four-year contract ends, Green will be 37 years old.

However, the Golden State Warriors have no plans to renew Green's contract with a maximum salary. The Warriors hope that after the end of next season, after Green jumps out of the contract, they will discuss the renewal with him. Last season, the Golden State Warriors returned to their peak and won the championship without being optimistic. The Warriors were able to win the championship, of course, not only due to the credit of the leading star Curry, Thompson's comeback, Poole's rapid progress, Wiggins' breaking the thermos cup and other factors all played an important role in it.

And how did Green perform last season? To be honest, it’s not particularly amazing. In the regular season, he averaged 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game, and in the playoffs, he averaged 8.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. The data seems to be quite comprehensive. It's still a long way off, and the role on the field is relatively monotonous, and most of them assume the role of a "dealer".

I have to say that Green's request to renew his contract with a max salary is probably a bit of a dream. Even the Warriors fans think that he will continue to stay in the Warriors. His value on the court is not very much.

The Clippers are interested in Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi may return to the NBA

This year's Asian Cup of Men's Basketball, the Chinese men's basketball team is very regrettable, and finally only achieved the eighth result, much disappointment to the fans. It is understandable that in this Asian Cup of Men's Basketball, the Chinese team is not complete in terms of lineup. The main players such as Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei suffered injuries in the previous World Preliminaries and did not participate in this Asian Cup. Zhou Qi is also fighting with injuries, and his state has not recovered to the best.

Despite this, although the Chinese men's basketball team did not achieve an ideal record in this year's Asian Cup, Zhou Qi's performance still brought us surprises. This Asian Cup, Zhou Qi missed the first two games and played in the next three games, averaging 15 points, 12.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Against Lebanon, Zhou Qi even scored 22 points and 21 rebounds. Large double 20 + two pairs.

It's hard to imagine that Zhou Qi, who was on the cusp of the storm, is now the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team. Without Zhou Qi, we might not be able to move an inch in the next few games. From the World Preliminaries to the Asian Cup, Zhou Qi's progress has also been recognized by many people, and he has once again attracted the attention of the NBA league.

Recently, according to INS news, the NBA Clippers intend to sign Zhou Qi, and his agent also appeared in Los Angeles (where the Clippers belong), which also aroused the infinite reverie of fans and friends. Regarding this rumor, Zhou Qi's agent did not refute the rumor immediately, but stated: "It is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

Obviously, it seems that the news still has a certain degree of authenticity. On the other hand, from the perspective of the Los Angeles Clippers’ own lineup, they lost Hartenstein in the offseason. There is only Zubac as a big center in the team. The small card will return next season. The championship will fully consider the integrity of its lineup, and the addition of Zhou Qi will undoubtedly supplement their immediate combat power in the interior area.
