Free market summary: Lakers laid off 4 people in a row, 13 signings were made, Curry Jr. and Achiuwa were waived

On October 19th, with the end of the NBA preseason, everyone should know by this time that many teams will lay off players who have previously signed training camp contracts. The team signed them just to play in the preseason. Now they are used up. If they are outstanding players, then we will keep them. If they are not outstanding enough, then they can only be waived. However, we did not expect that many top players have been waived. Let’s take a look at what happened in the free market from last night to now.

The Thunder signed undrafted Youngblood to a two-way contract. Youngblood performed well in the preseason, averaging 11 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Although this guard is not very stable offensively, he has good impact and is active enough on the defensive end. He is worthy of staying on the team. The Timberwolves signed a two-way contract with Zhuzan. Zhuzan was a rotation member of the Jazz last season. He has the ability to sign this contract and performed well in the preseason, averaging 13.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game and shooting 48% from three-point range.

The Clippers signed Jameer Telford. He was previously selected for the Clippers' summer league lineup. His performance was very average, and his performance in the preseason was also very average. I think it was completely unnecessary for the Clippers to sign him. They probably signed a rookie because they were afraid of Leonard getting injured. According to official news from the Pacers, the team waived Payne, Kyle Gay and Spalding. Payne is a good rotation player. It is really unexpected that he was waived. After all, he has the ability.

The Spurs made a big move today. They made a total of 6 operations: the team waived Flagler, Micah Porter and Stanley Umud, and then signed James Banks, Jabari Buyea and Kelden Mangas. These players signed and waived were all Development League players. Those signed by the team are not likely to stay. Now they have assembled an 18-man roster and are ready to start the new season. In addition, the Timberwolves waived Alize Johnson.

The Hawks signed a two-way contract with Caleb Hustein. The two parties had previously agreed on an EX10 contract. It is estimated that because Hustein hit a winning three-pointer in the preseason, the Hawks took a fancy to his big heart attribute, so they kept him. He has been a player in the Magic's third rotation in the past few years. In addition, the Eagles waived Bessie and Lamont Butler, and the team retained Daunt, who is a center. Retaining Daunt can be regarded as strengthening the team's inside thickness.

The Lakers cut 4 people in a row today. They waived RJ Davis, Mathieu Leonis, Watson and Nate Williams respectively. Except for Davis, to be honest, there is no need to keep the others. Davis has some value, but the Lakers have enough rotation, so keeping him does not make much sense. The last quarter of the previous game against the Mavericks probably made the fans feel numb, 8-37 in a single quarter, which also strengthened the Lakers' determination to give up on them.

The Warriors officially announced: The team laid off Seth Curry and Claire. Seth Curry's layoff is probably something that many fans did not expect. After all, his relationship with Curry is here. However, the reason why the Warriors laid him off is just to better renew his contract in the future. It is estimated that in two weeks, the Warriors will use the rules to sign him back with a one-year minimum salary. At that time, the amount of Curry's minimum salary in the salary cap will be reduced to less than 2 million US dollars. Mr. Deng still has operations.

The Heat officially announced today that the team waived Achiuwa, Bezimben, Dandanja, and Ethan Thompson. The Heat did not win a game in the preseason and played poorly. However, Achiuwa's dismissal was really unexpected. After all, he is still a good choice as a third center. His impact is very good. According to reports from Mitchell Scott, the Mavericks and Moussa Cisse signed a two-way contract. Cisse is 23 years old and serves as a center. He played in the college league last season. The Mavericks are really obsessed with inside players.

Previously, the Mavericks also signed Matt Cross, Jamari Sharp, and Zhaire Smith. The Mavericks had previously waived several of them, and now they have signed several Development League players, probably to stock up for the Development League. This Sharp played for the Mavericks Development League last season, and his height of 2.26 meters is good enough. The Grizzlies announced that the team signed a contract with DeJong Yaro and waived Rosen Lovelin. DeJong played for the Grizzlies last season.

The Raptors signed a two-way contract with AJ Lawson, who is mainly a native of Canada. He played for the Raptors last season and performed well, averaging 9.1 points per game. He is retained for the fans. The Wizards officially announced that the team had waived Reid Monkey and Alondes. These two are not the ones the team intends to keep for a long time, so it is normal to waive them. As for the Suns, they waived Jadley Butler. To be honest, this guy should be kept. He has the ability to play in the NBA, but in order to keep Goodwin, the Suns reluctantly gave up.

But in terms of Butler's performance, he is worthy of an NBA contract. Having said that, what do you want to say about the operation of these teams today? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
