<p>Even though the<strong> Nuggets have a strong starting lineup</strong>, they need their bench to be just as good or even better than their starters, because if one of them gets injured, it could be the end of the season for the team.</p>

<p>Nikola Jokic is one of the best centers in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> </strong>today, and he is considered by many to be one of the best centers of all time but he cannot win every game without the help of his teammates and it is important for him to have a backup.</p>



<h2>Who is the 7-foot center the Nuggets are about to sign?</h2>



<p>According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, <strong>the Denver Nuggets are already signing Jay Huff to a two-way contract.</strong> He has experience in the NBA since 2021 when he made his league debut playing for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> and last season he played for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-wizards">Washington Wizards.</a></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="824" height="373" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/28111351/woj-nuggets-jay-huff-nikola-jokic-824x373.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-30248" sizes="(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px"></figure></div></figure>



<p>Jay Huff will most likely be a backup center for Nikola Jokic, and he could be used to rest Jokic during the last 10 minutes of games, but sometime in the coming years he could become a solid backup. <strong>His measurements are 7-1 (2.16m), 240 lbs (109 kg), he is a few inches taller than Nikola Jokic, who is 6’11” (2.11m), but he is also a few pounds lighter, as Jokic weighs 284 lbs (129 kg).</strong></p>

<p>Grant Williams officially ended his time with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong> after the 2022-2023 season. The process of being a restricted free agent was not easy for him or his loved ones, but it all ended when he signed a new contract to play with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks">Dallas Mavericks</a></strong>.</p>



<p>The process of a player leaving one team to join another is not as easy as people think. When a player becomes a free agent, things are easier. <strong>However, when a player is an RFA (restricted free agent), that is when the challenges begin</strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-dallas-mavericks-sign-a-guard-for-6m-to-help-kyrie-irving-20230714-BUS-29314.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230714_BUS_29314_Kyrie-Irving-of-the-Dallas-Mavericks.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="The Dallas Mavericks want everything to be perfect for the upcoming season.

<p>The Boston Celtics had to allow Grant Williams to leave because they could not afford his asking price to play for another four or five seasons with the franchise.</p>



<h2>What did Grant Williams say about being an RFA?</h2>



<p>In a recently published article on the Dallas Mavericks official website, Mavs.com, Grant Williams opened up with Eddie Sefko about his deal to leave Boston, which he referred to about his RFA status as:<em><strong> “Very difficult. Restricted free agency is terrible,” “Unrestricted, you have a good understanding of where you want to go, but restricted, you’re pretty much in a waiting game.”</strong></em></p>



<p>The restricted free agents in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> </strong>are the players who can sign an offer sheet given by another franchise and must wait for their current team to match the offer so that he can stay, but three days passed and the Celtics had no other option but to let Williams go. On that point he referred:<em><strong> “You want to make sure you understand what the offers are but also understand that teams might match or a team might be asking for more than another team is willing to give. It’s definitely an interesting process. I still think free agency is a little bit fun, but also a little bit nerve-wracking.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Williams played with the Celtics from 2019 to 2023 and earned over $11 million during his time with the team.<strong> He is expected to earn about $52 million over the next four years with the Mavericks.</strong></p>

<p>However, Melo’s legacy as a 10-time All-Star is one of the strongest of the 21st century and it is unlikely that another player will break all of his records. The only player who could come close to being what Anthony was is his son.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong> had a strong 2022-2023 season, coming within two wins of defeating the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> </strong>Finals. However, Jayson Tatum was exhausted after a few big games, and Kristaps Porzingis was not yet part of the franchise.</p>



<p>However, the starters can’t do all the work and the Celtics know that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayson-tatum">Tatum</a></strong> will need help during the 2023-2024 season where they will start the year as contenders and the Celtics will likely make it all the way to the postseason.</p>

<p>The Celtics know that Tatum will need help in the 2023-2024 season, and they are looking to add more talent to the roster. Porzingis is one of the new players who could give the Celtics more scoring and rebounding in the regular season.<strong> If he stays healthy, the Celtics could be even better than last season.</strong></p>



<h2>Who is the guard that was recently signed by the Boston Celtics?</h2>



<p>According to the Boston Celtics twitter account (@celtics),<strong> they recently signed guard Jay Scrubb to a two-way contract.</strong> Scrubb had an excellent season with the Maine Celtics, the Celtics’ G League affiliate. He is a talented scorer who could provide some depth for the Celtics in the regular season. In 2024 he could have a salary of around $2m+ per season.</p>



<figure class="aligncenter size-full wp-block-image"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="449" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/28111426/boston-celtics-jayscrubb-two-way-contract-449x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-29941" sizes="(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px"></figure></div></figure>



<p>Two-way contracts are designed for players who are still developing their talent. Scrubb will be able to split his time between the Celtics and the Maine Celtics during the 2023-2024 season. <strong>This will give him the opportunity to get playing time in both the NBA and the G League.</strong></p>

Even though Henderson is the future of the Blazers, they still have unfinished business with Damian Lillard.</p>



<p>Things could take an unexpected turn with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Lillard’s</a> situation. If the Blazers fail to trade him to another team, it could directly affect Henderson’s life in the franchise and create unnecessary stress as he goes through the adjustment process.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Henderson has a one-on-one battle with Wembanyama, as they both want to prove that they are the best picks from the recent draft. However, Scoot is relaxed so far, as all the attention is on Wemby.</p>



<h2>What did Scoot Henderson say about Damian Lillard and Victor Wembanyama?</h2>



<p><strong>In a recent interview published in The Ringer, Scoot Henderson answered a series of questions where Kevin O’Connor</strong> asked him about the Blazers situation with Damian Lillard to which he referred:<strong><em> “…Professional sports is a business at the end of the day. I’m just going about it day by day, and just like y’all are hearing it from ear to ear, post to post. I haven’t really been on social media to really see what’s going on, but I’m here with the team at summer league, and my main focus is, especially when I’m out, to cheer my team.”</em></strong></p>



<p>O’Connor pointed out to Henderson that<strong> if Damian Lillard leaves Portland it would mean that he would have to take over the reins of the franchise</strong> during his first rookie year, Scoot replied: <strong><em>“Exactly. And I’m with that. If he leaves, I’m going to just embrace that. I’m going to embrace being the point guard for the team. And that comes with practice. I don’t have my spot guaranteed; I know that. My goal is to get better every day at practice and get better game by game.”</em></strong></p>



<p>Another key question was about Wembanyama and how he got the dream first pick, to which Scoot said: <strong><em>“Every day, every game. Definitely. It’s a lot of pressure being that guy and being just that high of a pick and being that kind of a talent. Not a lot of players have that height and that skill set. So, you’re going to have a target on your back.”</em></strong></p>

<p>Last season was relatively good for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets">Brooklyn Nets</a></strong>, they closed the regular season with a <strong>winning record of 45-38</strong> which was enough to reach the playoffs where they were eliminated in the first round by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers"><strong>Philadelphia 76ers</strong></a> 4-0.</p>



<p>However, the franchise wants to stay strong for the next few seasons and they are trying to keep the same top players and sign the best free agents available. So far, they have done better since <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Durant</a>, Irving, and Harden</strong> left the city.</p>



<p>The core of the Nets is relatively young, the most experienced players were born in 1993 like Spencer Dinwiddie who played 4 playoff games with the Nets during a season that was short for him with only 25 games started.</p>



<h2>Who is the 23yo player the Brooklyn Nets recently signed?</h2>



<p>According to Wojnarowski and his sources like Klutch Sports,<strong> the Nets recently agreed to a one-year deal with Darius Bazley.</strong> So far, they are making low-profile signings and trades. Bazley is a <strong>power forward. </strong>It is not confirmed what the salary or the value of his contract will be, but with his previous contract it was valued at $11,461,629.</p>

<p>He played with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-city-thunder">Oklahoma City Thunder</a></strong> from the 2019 season until he was traded in 2023 to Phoenix to play for the Suns for just 7 games off the bench. He could be the perfect addition to the Nets’ bench. They need more forwards to help a guard like Dinwiddie lead the team back to the playoffs.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> played at an incredible level last year, but it still wasn’t enough for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> to succeed. Therefore, the front office made plenty of moves to come back stronger in the 2023-24 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> season.</p>



<p>With Bob Myers gone, it was Mike Dunleavy Jr. who has been making the <strong>big decisions this offseason</strong>. The newly promoted general manager traded Jordan Poole for Chris Paul and re-signed Draymond Green, among other moves.</p>



<p>Since the Dubs have kept their core and added another veteran star to their roster, many expect them to challenge for the championship again. However, <strong>Kendrick Perkins claims they don’t stand a chance</strong>.</p>



<h2>Kendrick Perkins says Stephen Curry is the only reason Warriors can make the 2024 NBA Finals</h2>



<p>“<em>Read my lips, <strong>I give them a 1% chance and it’s not because of the addition of Chris Paul, it’s because of Steph Curry. … As bad as I wanna give them a zero, just because Steph and the way that he’s able to dominate I’m going to give them a 1% chance</strong>,</em>” Kendrick Perkins said on <em>ESPN</em>‘s NBA Today. </p>



<p><em>“<strong>But there’s four teams in the Western Conference that I have ahead of them: the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Sacramento Kings, and the Phoenix Suns, in no particular order. That’s why I give them a 1% chance.</strong>“</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a></strong> has been with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a></strong> for less than two years, but that didn’t stop him from requesting a trade before the 2023-24 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> season. Well, it’s not exactly a surprise coming from him.</p>



<p><em>The Beard</em> did something similar with the Brooklyn Nets before, having forced his way out of the team only a year after joining them from the Houston Rockets. Now, <strong>it looks like he’s ready to move on, again</strong>.</p>



<p>The problem is the Sixers don’t want to part with him so easily. Word on the street is that the team wants Harden to stay, and in the meantime, it would have set an ‘exorbitant’ asking price <strong>to keep potential suitors at bay.</strong></p>



<h2>Rumor: Sixers’ asking price for Harden is too high</h2>



<p><em>“In the James Harden situation in terms of where we are on in the calendar in July, it feels a lot like what Daryl Morey was doing with Ben Simmons a couple years ago. <strong>His asking price is exorbitant</strong>,” </em>NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski of <em>ESPN </em>said, via <em>Sixers Wire.</em></p>



<p>“<em>Teams are not engaging the Sixers with the kind of asks that Daryl Morey is asking for James Harden and so <strong>that’s where Daryl Morey always starts in trade talks. Really high, and then over time, perhaps you work them back down, but like Ben Simmons, there’s hope on the Sixers’ side that eventually at some point, they can get James Harden on board about being in Philadelphia</strong> in the last year of this deal, this opt-in that he did it at $35.5 million. Now they may get the training camp, and it may look different to Philly, they may have a James Harden who’s not as enthusiastic about his return as they are and then maybe they get more serious about it, but right now, I think the Harden talks, (Damian) Lillard, are going to linger into the summer.</em>“</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/sixers-have-made-a-controversial-decision-about-james-harden-20230714-BUS-28933.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230714_BUS_28933_james-harden-3.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="The Philadelphia 76ers and James Harden don&apos;t seem to be on the same page about his future, and it might take a while before they reach an agreement, if ever.
" title="Sixers have made a controversial decision about James Harden" publication_id="BUS#20230714#BUS#28933"></div>


<p>All of this looks like a plan to convince Harden to stay in Philly for at least another year. It makes sense from the Sixers’ perspective, since they made an effort to get him just a year and a half ago. However, if he definitely wants to leave, <strong>they’ll have to listen</strong> to him at some point.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-butler">Jimmy Butler</a></strong> almost led <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> to an unlikely <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championship last season. Following a rather lackluster regular season, the 33-year-old stepped up in the playoffs and proved why his team should never be counted out.</p>



<p>Erik Spoelstra’s team pulled off a shock by making the Finals as a No. 8 seed, but it <strong>eventually fell short</strong> from the ultimate glory. In the end, Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets proved to be far superior to all their opponents.</p>



<p>Either way, Miami seems to be in a really good spot right now. While Damian Lillard looks interested in taking his talents to South Florida, a former Heat player also admitted he <strong>wants to go back to the 305.</strong></p>



<h2>Goran Dragic says he wants to return to the Heat</h2>



<p>In an interview with Slovenian outlet <em>Siol.net</em>, <strong>Goran Dragic</strong> revealed he wants to return to the Miami Heat this offseason. The 37-year-old spent seven years with the team between 2015 and 2021, helping them reach the NBA Finals in 2020:</p>



<p>“<em><strong>The main desire is to return to Miami</strong>. … Now everyone is waiting for Damian Lillard to decide where he will go next, so everyone is off to a low start. … We are in talks with a few clubs, but much more will be known in a few days when the news will be released. You will see.</em></p>



<p><em><strong>“I’m at home in Miami, both my children are there, they go to school there. Everything fits perfectly. I had the best seven years of my career there and I think that coming back to Miami would be the icing on the cake</strong>. It would be something really great. But we will see.”</em></p>



<p>Dragic <strong>made a great impression</strong> during his time in South Beach. He had to put the team on his back for many years until the team improved the roster by landing players of Butler’s caliber.</p>
