Unlike last season, the Nets have more manpower at the 3/4 position this season.In today's striker era, players who can defend multiple positions are becoming more and more important.

Because there is still a position, the Nets do not intend to quickly strengthen. If they do not have a suitable candidate, they will go to pick up the missing ones before the mid-season trade deadline. I don’t know what free agents will be available at that time.

The transaction has finally come to an end, and the Nets' reinforcements this summer are finally roughly over.

It seems that they are more in line with today's era than last season.Last season, they had too many No. 2 positions, but lacked No. 3 and No. 4 positions. This season, they have made precise reinforcements and filled up the wing positions severely.

Of course, compared to last season, they have regressed in terms of shooting, but in terms of defense, they have improved too much. With 14 players, there is no obvious defensive weakness, especially the outside line, and the defense has been greatly improved.

ESPN and other media have predicted the record for next season, and the Nets will continue to rank first in the Eastern Conference.

In terms of odds for the championship next season, the Nets are second only to Universe Yong, ranking second.

Beast thinks this kind of prediction is normal. The Warriors won the championship last season and kept the core lineup. You can't predict him after other teams.

The Warriors also got Cousins ​​​​during the offseason and assembled a "5-star lineup". The lineup talent is too strong.

On August 8, Nets assistant coach Dampier found Beast and said to Beast seriously: "Tom, I have something to trouble you!"

The beast was a little surprised, because Dampier had never talked to him with such an expression before.

"What's the matter, Coach Dampier?" Beast asked.

Dampier said: "Can you give Vince a place in our team! He is my good friend!"

"Vince, is that Vince Carter?" The Beast asked back.

Dampier nodded: "Yes, that's him."

The beast's brain was spinning, and he wanted to call up all the information about Carter. He remembered that Carter was still playing for the Kings last season.

That's right, Carter hasn't retired yet. Beast joined the Eagles this offseason in his previous life, and then retired after this season.

"Yes, we still have a place. If Vince is willing to come, we welcome it! In terms of contracts, our overall salary has exceeded the cap now, and we can only provide a basic salary!" The beast agreed very simply, anyway, in the end For a position, who is not the one to sign? The godfather Dampier has come to say it himself, and he has to give him face no matter what.

Dampier didn't expect the beast to agree so simply, and a smile appeared on his face immediately: "Great, Tom, you are really...so kind! Thank you!"

Beast smiled and said: "Godfather, I will definitely consider it seriously. You really don't need to thank me, I also want to thank you for helping me find a veteran striker! You helped me! I will let Xiao Well, I went to contact Vince, I am looking forward to joining forces with UFO!"

Dampier went happily, it is estimated that he is going to tell Carter the news.

The Beast immediately called the Nets general manager Max and asked him to arrange Carter's signing.

For this sudden signing, the beast is not only to sell Dampier a face, but also for the team.Although Carter is 41 years old, he is in very good condition.In the Kings last season, everyone saw his performance.

Of the top 4 points back then, he was the only one still playing in the league.Although he is no longer a star player, he has done a good job as a role player.

Of the top 4 points that year, Carter's personal offensive ability was actually the worst.But he was born in North Carolina, has good basic skills, good spot-up jump shots, and doesn't pick his teammates, so he can integrate into the team better than the other three.

In the past few seasons, he has been transferred to many teams, has always played the role of a 3D player, and also completed a lore in the playoffs, which can be said to be a perfect case of the transformation of the slam dunk king and the leading star into a role player.

But it is a pity that although Carter has moved to many teams, he has never won a championship ring.

This summer, Carter was hesitating whether to choose to retire, thinking that although he was in good health, he was 41 years old after all, and he was indeed very old.

Originally, Carter almost joined the Eagles, but he followed the advice of his good friend Dampier and decided to wait for the Nets.

The embarrassment for the Nets at the time was that even if they were interested in Carter, they had no quota and could not sign him.It can only be considered after Holiday's deal lands and the quota becomes free.

Carter also knew this. His thought at the time was that if the Nets did not have a spot to sign him in the end, then he would choose to retire.

Dampier really hopes to work together with good friends in the Nets, and he hopes that Carter can get a championship ring before retiring.

Obviously, next season's Nets have a great chance, how strong the beast is now, Dampier knows better than anyone.

Carter chose the Nets, in addition to the consideration of the ring, there is another point. He has played for this team and has a kinship with everything about the Nets, although so many years have passed.

On August 8, the Nets signed a one-year veteran's minimum salary contract with former Nets star Vince Carter.

So far, the 15 spots in the Nets lineup have all been filled.

The full Nets lineup looks like this:

Centers: Jarrett Allen, Wood

Power Forward: Beast, Jeff Green, Ed Davis, Vanderbilt
Small forwards: Wiggins, Carroll, Hollis-Jefferson, Carter

Shooting guards: Beaubois, LeVert, Diallo
Point guard: Holiday, Jeremy Lin
