The Los Angeles Lakers made two signings and completed one cut this offseason to bolster their roster. However, today the NBA league implemented new rules that could have an impact on LeBron James’ performance.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who have been dealing with a conflict with team centerpiece James Harden throughout the offseason, have made few substantial signings to bolster their roster, mostly just minor ones. They signed Danny Green to a one-year deal, and today announced the successful signing of David Duke.
David Duke spent the past two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, contributing 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Last season, he was named to the Development League’s Best XI and averaged 22.5 points, 6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game.
Meanwhile, Tristan Thompson, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, has signed a one-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thompson, who won a championship with the Cavaliers during the 2015-2016 season, is now back with the Cavaliers and will act as the team’s locker room leader next season and serve in a complementary role inside during the regular season.
It’s worth noting that the Lakers spent the offseason strengthening the team’s weaknesses and improving their bench. Considering James’ age, the team may discuss reducing his playing time in the regular season to reduce fatigue and prevent injuries. This will help keep James in shape and ensure he plays well in the playoffs.
Additionally, the Spurs will be cutting Cameron Payne, who was acquired in a trade from the Suns, and Payne may be looking for a team that is a title contender. Payne has excelled with the Suns, contributing 10.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. His addition would be a big boost for a title contending team.
Cameron Payne excel in competitions with their athletic stature running around the court, notable for the nike air max 97 white mens sale on their feet. complete with brand logos and unique color schemes, these shoes are perfect for running, basketball, fitness workouts or everyday wear. popular for their great design, they are loved by women and children and are suitable for a wide range of activities and occasions.
