[專欄] 太陽、七六人、國王、馬刺最被忽視的動作

Phoenix Suns
* Re-signing Jevon Carter

Early last season, Suns coach Monty Williams was already noting how important Carter was to the team's renewed defensive tenacity, and it continued throughout the season as Carter became an integral part of Phoenix's emergence as a potential 2020-21 contender. Obviously the expectations went through the roof when the team acquired Chris Paul and signed Jae Crowder, but re-signing Carter to a three-year, $11.5 million deal was crucial. Not only is Carter a defensive bulldog, but he also shot 43 percent on
2.5 3-pointers per game last season. He was blistering in the bubble, making 16-of-29 3s during the Suns' 8-0 performance. Carter has become confident in punishing teams that drop on him in the pick-and-roll, averaging 1.061 points per possession (88th percentile) on off-the-dribble jumpers, according to Synergy.

In addition to his defensive talents, Carter could take another leap forward this year on the offensive end.

上個賽季，顯然太陽教頭已經深刻了解Carter對球隊多麼重要，整個球季他都用堅韌的防守在幫助球隊，這讓他成為下個賽季，太陽不可獲缺的一塊拼圖。

球隊與JC簽下合約並得到CP3讓球迷高潮惹，但Carter的3年合約同樣至關重要。

在太陽泡泡賽中的8連勝，他的三分29中16。 整季的命中率也高達43%，Carter對於用得分懲罰那些擋拆後放過他的球員非常有自信，他的P&R每回合得分高達1.06（pr88%)

除了防守才能，他的進攻有質變的飛躍

Philadelphia 76ers
* Shedding Al Horford's contract

Based on last season's performance, the three years and approximately $80 million left on Horford's contract were looking like one of the league's bigger albatrosses, but new president of basketball operations Daryl Morey wasted no time flexing his muscles by not only getting rid of Horford, but also picking up Danny Green and Terrance Ferguson in the process (no pun intended). While Green and Ferguson are nice additions, the real win for Morey is only giving up one first-round pick (2025, top-six
protected) as payment to the Thunder for taking on Horford's contract. With all the money already owed to Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris, this was a necessary move to open up flexibility for the Sixers moving forward.

就....應該算大勝利吧，可能沒什麼好寫的

還以為會寫收進Green之類

Sacramento Kings
* Signing Hassan Whiteside

With all the money thrown at centers this offseason, it's funny that a guy who averaged a double-double and led the league in blocks for a playoff team last season would end up signing for the minimum. Say what you will about Whiteside, but the man produces. To get that kind of value on a minimum deal is a win for the Kings, particularly given Marvin Bagley's injury history during his young career. The Kings had a strong draft by picking up Tyrese Haliburton and Robert Woodard, but don't let that
overshadow the fact that they were able to get a quality big at a rock-bottom price.

不管你多麼嫌棄國王與白邊，但用超低代價簽下他一定是大勝利。

尤其是他們放棄77選來未來前場的核心MBIII有豐富的傷痛史

他們需要一個人選保護他

San Antonio Spurs
* Drafting Devin Vassell

You hear a lot about how lucky the Kings were to get Tyrese Haliburton at No. 12draft home run with Vassell.

這些日子你可能會聽到許多國王在12順位撿到Tyrese Haliburton有多幸運的話，但若你對馬刺在11順位挑走的Vassell不是很了解的話。他可是這屆美國最好的3D搖擺人，而且去了可以發揮並磨練才能的大學

模板是Khris Middleton與巔峰Danny green

他從防守起家到可以從攻擊端做出貢獻，期待未來可以在馬刺打出Homerun般耀眼的成績

現在Vassell可能還需要一點時間去慢慢修正他的投籃，畢竟馬刺失去富比世之後，還是在後場囤積了海量天賦

譯：如果把選走Vassel作為放棄少主富比世的必要條件，我認為這是本季馬刺最好的動作，

Toronto Raptors
* Signing Aron Baynes

Toronto was left with a gaping hole in the middle when Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasocontend for an NBA title.
