Within 24 hours! Three major signing news, James renews his contract, Harden raises his salary, Randle cuts his salary

On June 30, there were frequent major transactions in the NBA offseason, and major teams renewed their optimistic players in advance. Some of them were happy and some were sad. James' execution of the contract for next season and Harden's performance was recognized. He raised his salary next season, but Randle unexpectedly cut his salary. Xiao Jia of the Rockets was not traded. He renewed his contract in advance. Let's take a look!

First of all, James, the Lakers' master. According to ESPN reporter Shams, James will execute the 52.6 million player option next season! James' performance last season was remarkable, scoring 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal in the regular season, with very high efficiency, leading the Lakers to the third record in the regular season. Next season will be James' 23rd season. He will become the first player in history to compete in the 23rd season of his career. It is really the longest river in history. I don't want to see James retire, and I feel that James can play for 3 more seasons! There are no ones who have come before and after!

However, after the Lakers sold their team for $10 billion, the new boss has not made any moves. The Lakers still have no trades for centers. The whole league knows that the Lakers lack centers and want to increase their chips and take advantage of the situation. If the Lakers have no trades in the offseason, winning the championship next season is still far away. It is really a waste of James' final peak. The Lakers management quickly takes action!

followed by Harden, the Clippers' core guard. ESPN reporter Shams revealed that Harden will reject the player option and renew a contract with the Clippers for a two-year, worth $81.5 million. Harden averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game last season, leading the Clippers into the playoffs and returned to the All-Star after two years. Congratulations to Harden, his performance was recognized by his boss. An annual salary of 40 million+ is OK. He was cheated by 76 people before his salary cut! But to be honest, Harden has no chance of winning the championship in the Clippers, and Xiaoka has passed the peak. The team's configuration is already the biggest limit to being able to enter the Western Conference Finals. What do you think?

There is another unexpected news that Randall of the Timberwolves is. According to ESPN reporter Shams, Randall and the Timberwolves reached a three-year, $100 million renewal agreement, including the 2027-28 season player options, which are cheaper than Gobert. Randall performed very well last season. Randall scored 21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists in the playoffs, and the shooting percentage is very high. This price is a conscientious price. The contract with Reed is only 60 million, and the Timberwolves made a lot of money!

Finally, Jabarri Smith Jr. According to ESPN reporter Shams, Jabarri Smith Jr. plans to sign a five-year, 122 million-dollar contract renewal with the Rockets, which is a full guarantee contract. Xiao Jia played 57 regular season games for the Rockets last season, averaging 12.2 points, 7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per 30.2 minutes per game. His performance on both offense and defense is remarkable. To be honest, this price is simply a bargain. The Rockets renewed their contract with Van Vreet this year, sent away Jaylen Green, and welcomed Durant. The Rockets are expected to win the championship next season!

To be honest, the teams' movements are still very big in this offseason. The Trail Blazers chose Yang Hansen and are very optimistic about Yang Hansen. The Rockets traded with Durant, Irving reduced his salary and renewed his contract, and the Celtics sent Holiday + Porzingis away in succession. There is no action on the Lakers and Warriors for the time being. Is there a wave of big deals planned? Let's wait and see!
