The dust settles! The free market is missing two more, the king can t understand, the warriors seem helpless

Two more people are missing in the NBA free market.

According to US media reports, Simmons and Westbrook, the two most popular players in the free market, are gradually becoming clearer. Simmons is basically determined to join the Celtics, while Westbrook is joining the Kings.

Ary updated social media, writing: "According to league sources, after weeks of continuous dialogue since the free market started, former MVP Russell Westbrook is expected to join the Kings. Ben Simmons, one of the hottest free agents in the free market, is expected to sign with the Celtics."

The Celtics' outlook is also bleak due to Tatum's injury next season. With Holiday being traded, Simmons' arrival can indeed solve the current team organization problems to a certain extent, and the strength of the defensive end. After all, Simmons with a maximum salary is a high salary and low ability, but Simmons with a basic salary is still worth a try by the Celtics.

Westbrook joins the Kings, which is really a bit incomprehensible. Even in order to sign Westbrook, the Kings have to trade players like Monk and Carter. The Kings' wave is indeed quite surprising. In the past two seasons, the biggest problem for the Kings is the inaccurate outside shooting, but the Kings' signings during the offseason are indeed unpredictable. The lineup is not about trying to play a bad lineup, but from the perspective of the signing plan, it seems to be getting closer and closer to the path of playing a bad lineup. The

Warriors seemed a little helpless.

You should know that these two people have had rumors with the Warriors before, especially Simmons. As soon as the free market opened, there was news between Simmons and the Warriors that the Warriors wanted to let Simmons play at the center, but because the problem of Kumingga was not solved, the Warriors now dare not sign people in the free market. Horford and Melton have been put there, and it is possible if they are not careful.

The Warrior's pain, should we ask the king to solve it?
