After the holiday, Yang Rui made a little draft suggestion, and the team's second-round picks plus the second-round picks that Crabbe traded back from the Pelicans were all traded, leaving only one first-round pick.

Norman Powell and Malcolm Brogdon both have great potential and are worth cultivating, and if they are selected as rookies, they can only be marginal people, and it is better to renew their contracts as veterans.

Leaving the 30th place in the first round, Yang Rui wanted to see if he could select forward Kyle Kuzma, a rookie with great potential, and a low pick, the 27th in his previous life was selected by the Lakers, and he averaged 16 points per game in his rookie season. He has a well-rounded offensive approach, catch-and-shoot jumpers, pull-up jumpers, air cuts, and low-post footwork, making it difficult to be limited on the court.

The 2017 draft had some variables, and Marrick Newman, who had played in Yang Rui's training camp that year, had the best performance, successfully transformed into a point guard, and gave up his hometown to join the University of Kentucky. He entered the draft and was drafted by the Timberwolves at No. 16.

The 76ers picked another No. 1 pick, shooting guard Markle Fultz. HE IS 193CM TALL, BUT HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 208CM, AND IS AMAZINGLY ATHLETIC, FAST, STRONG BOUNCE, AND A TALENTED DEFENDER WITH ALL-ROUND SKILLS.

The Lakers hit the list again and selected "ball brother" Lonzo Ball, and in the new season, he will show how steel is made and challenge the unprecedented total shooting percentage of the "100 club".

The Magic drafted forward Jayson Tatum. The Celtics love this guy, but they didn't trade Pierce or Garnett with the Nets in this life, nor did they have the 2017 first-round pick and the Nets' swap rights.

Last season, the Lakers didn't trade Louis Williams for that later first-round pick, but unfortunately, Kuzma was still "cut off" and the Raptors recruited him to the team.

Clippers manager Nel Orsh texted Yang to discuss it, drafted blue-collar center Tony Bradley, who has a great body and amazing arm span, and then traded him to the Jazz.

After the draft, on June 27, the 2017 NBA Awards Ceremony was held in Manhattan, New York, which was the first time in NBA history that the regular season awards were announced in the form of an awards ceremony.

Adam Silva thinks he is very good at showing hype, but the fans don't buy it, because the awards came too late, and the champions have been decided for half a month. Coupled with the big news of Yang Rui's retirement, who cares about the regular season two and a half months ago?

The announcement of the award so late makes people suspect that there will be some ulterior secret operation inside, which has generated a lot of controversy.

The All-Defensive Team, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, and Rudy Gobert are not controversial. The Rockets' Beverley and the Mavericks' Paul were selected for the defensive team together, and fans felt it was too nonsense.

The Rockets are a team that wins on offense after D'Antoni joins, and the Mavericks' Paul missed 20 games in the regular season.

The Clippers' "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo and Danny Green were selected to the defensive second team together, and the other three were Tony Allen, Anthony Davis, and Andre Robertson.

Judging from the defensive data, James was not unjustly unjustly off the list this time, and after changing teams, his defensive enthusiasm in the regular season was no longer enough.

The Defensive Player of the Year was won by Draymond Green, for the second time in his career, and he was the defensive core of the Clippers and was extremely versatile.

The Rookie of the Year was won by the Lakers' Joel Embiid, who barely met the selection criteria for his appearances, and the class of 2016 was the worst draft in nearly 30 years, and no rookie has averaged a double-double per game this season except Embiid. Embiid is not yet a 16-year rookie, having taken a two-year break to play in the NBA.

The best coach award was won by the Raptors' Dwyane Casey, who won the second record in the East in an upset.

The Sixth Man of the Year is Rockets quarterback Eric Gordon, who scores more points than LaVine and averages 3.3 three-pointers per game.

The most improved player is Antetokounmpo, who was named an All-Star this year.

The regular season MVP was finally awarded to Kevin Durant, which was very controversial, because Durant had just joined the Wizards, and the team was the first team in the East last year, and the record did not improve much. Durant is picking up a big leak, the league is unlikely to give the award to Curry anymore, and it is more controversial to give it to others than Durant.

Silva also made a point of giving out some new awards to the players as a sign of encouragement.

Teammate of the Year award Dirk Nowitzki, citing old and strong, locker room leader, etc.

Bill Russell received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Draymond and Curry won the best assist award for a one-time combination; Oladipo won the slam dunk of the year; Leonard won the award for the best cap of the year.

There is also an annual "SEG Strong Award" that goes to Spurs vice president Monty Williams.

Silva said that in order to honor the famous basketball journalist Craig Saiger, who passed away just last year, to commemorate his exploits in basketball and his bravery in the final battle against leukemia, the NBA has decided to launch the "Saig Strong Award" for the first time this year to recognize those pioneers in the league who are full of courage, faith and compassion.

Monty Williams won the award because his wife was tragically killed in a car accident, after which he resigned from his job as an assistant coach for the Thunder and gave a deeply moving speech and forgave the perpetrators with great compassion.

After watching the award ceremony, Yang Rui does not plan to return to coaching in the future, and the NBA is now starting to develop in the direction of "China is crying", and it is only a matter of time before BA becomes like EE, which is boring.

In July, the NBA free agency market opened, and the signings were crazier than last year.

The Raptors signed Otto Porter to a four-year, 106 million contract extension, which is more expensive than Brother Alphabet's contract extension, and he is just a role player.

The Raptors renewed the contract of core point guard Kyle Lowry, who is $100 million for three years, which is even more terrifying.

Even point guard Zhu Holliday, who has injury concerns, signed a five-year, 126 million contract extension with the Pelicans.

Ordinary stars are so expensive, the price of top stars can be imagined.

The Rockets and James Harden signed a four-year contract extension ahead of schedule, and last summer, the Rockets re-signed Harden to a four-year, $118 million contract, and Harden's salary for the next two seasons is $28.3 million and $30.42 million, respectively, with a total six-year contract of $226 million.

With the rise of the salary cap, Conley's "first contract" has become very common, and it is no wonder that Conley, who took the largest contract in history at the time, said that there was no pressure, and he got used to it after two years, and it happened every other summer.

Under this condition, Yang Rui decisively asked manager Olhi to give up trading Zach LaVine, use him for another season, and let him go for nothing next year, LaVine's contract next season is too low, and the level of play is worth more than 20 million, and it will be earned if you stay for another year. In exchange for young players who have not played, the Clippers are not easy to develop.

There is nothing to adjust to the Clippers roster, most of the players are under contract, only David Lee took the ring and announced his retirement. The Clippers signed power forward Jeff Green for 1 year and $2.3 million instead.

Green averaged 9.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game for the Magic last season while shooting less than 40% from the field. He mainly relies on jump shots to score, and at only 31 years old this year, he has good athleticism and can make a difference.

The Clippers have three Greens and will test the performance of the Chinese commentators next season.

If you play small-ball tactics, maybe Chinese fans will hear the multi-shadow doppelganger-style commentary: "Green grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, passed to Green to counterattack, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and passed to Green who followed up in the middle to score a violent dunk!" ”

Next season, the Clippers' roster depth will still be the strongest in the league.
