Only 6.7 million was spent in the offseason, and the second round of the division team was built into a championship team. Two transactions made a big deal

On September 19, today's US media reporters counted the expenses of each team this offseason, among which the Thunder ranked first. They renewed their contract with three cores and spent a total of 807 million yuan in the offseason. As the defending champions, they retained their core lineup to continue to compete for the championship. It is acceptable to spend so much. The Rockets ranked fifth with 297 million and the Clippers ranked 140 million. They are all for the championship, so it is understandable to spend more money on this.

The Warriors spent the least amount of money in the offseason. They have not spent $1 so far, and the team has not introduced stars at all. This is not a good thing for the team. Recently, Butler has been anxious. He asked the team's plan. If this continues, it will be difficult for the team to pursue the record in the new season. The Nuggets ranked second last. They spent 6.7 million in the offseason. Seeing that the Nuggets spent so little money, what is everyone’s first idea?

Some fans must have said: This is definitely because the Nuggets boss is reluctant to spend money. After the Nuggets won the championship in 23 years, the team's lineup has been making subtraction. Their paper strength is getting worse and worse, but the salary pressure is getting greater and greater, which also makes the team boss very troubled. Last season, because Malone and the former general manager had an internal struggle, the team boss opened both of them in anger, and straightened Bentanzel as the team's general manager during the offseason.

At first, most people in the league were not optimistic about this person's operating ability. After all, he was a rookie among the general manager of the league. They all thought that his ability was average, but this person was amazing. After his operation, the Nuggets also had the strength to compete for the championship. This is indeed the first time Tanzel is a general manager, but he joined the Nuggets in 2006 and is known as a salary expert. He can find the best answer in the most difficult situations. After his operation this offseason, the team not only reduced their expenses, but also strengthened them.

The first operation of the team was to trade Porter Jr. + the first round pick for Cameron Johnson. Porter Jr.'s annual salary was more than 38 million yuan, while Cameron Johnson was only about 20 million yuan. This transaction not only strengthened the Nuggets' starting strength, but also reduced the team's spending by more than 40 million yuan. The Nuggets also got trading exceptions during the transaction, which also gave them more room to operate. Cameron Johnson averaged 19+ games last season, his three-point shooting ability is no worse than Porter Jr., and his defense is better. He helped the Nuggets improve their starting defense.

After getting Cameron Johnson, Tanzel did not stop his operation. The team signed Bruce Brown back with a basic salary contract, and received Hardaway Jr., which was the 6.7 million they spent. During his time with the Raptors last season, Brown still had an annual salary of 14 million. He made a fortune in the Nuggets, but after leaving the Nuggets, he was not valued. Tanzel also caught Brown's questionable period, and they brought Brown back with basic salary.

Although he is not as good as Westbrook's organizational ability, his defense is not worse than Westbrook. What's more important is that his free-off cut is better and he can play more value around Jokic. Hardaway has lost his value in the past few years because his three-pointer is a game of gods and ghosts. When he comes to the Nuggets, to be honest, the Nuggets do not expect him to provide much offensive support. As long as he can open up the space, it is enough. Although he is a nerve knife, his opponent will never dare to let go. In the last operation, Tanzel did the same thing. He found the team that wanted to throw the player and made a deal. The team sent out the garbage contract Sharic in exchange for Valanciunas. The King wanted to throw the Valanciunas. He still had two years and more than 20 million contracts, while Sharic only had 5.4 million in one year. Getting Sharic could quickly reduce the salary pressure. The Nuggets deal also allowed Jokic to find a suitable substitute.

At first, Valan didn't want to come. After all, he was the first substitute for the league. It was reasonable to play well. If he couldn't play well, he would take the blame. He said he didn't want to come and wanted to play in Europe. But in the end, Jokic called him personally, and the Nuggets agreed to convert his last year's contract into a guarantee contract. Valan then agreed. Getting Valan also strengthened the Nuggets' substitute again. Valan is a center at the starting level who plays as a substitute, which makes the team too much bonus.

In this offseason, many Western Conference strong teams have strengthened their inside depth. They did this to target the Thunder. After all, the two centers of the Thunder are not good at confrontation. Last season, if the Nuggets have a better lineup, they may defeat the Thunder. Although the Nuggets were eliminated by the Thunder in the second round in the playoffs last year, overall they put more pressure on the Thunder, which is greater than the Pacers because Jokic's lethality is too strong.

Nuggets are now at the level of winning the championship, and I have to say that Tanzel is indeed very good. Under his leadership, the Nuggets are expected to be in the championship ranks for a long time. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Thunder?
