Summer box in the NBA: Jordan in Dallas, Aldridge waiting

After three days of the summer window on the free-agent market has been practically only LaMarcus Aldridge, who still wonders about the choice of the club. The great surprise is the decision DeAndre Jordan and his move to the Dallas Mavericks. Rajon Rondo played will turn into Sacramento Kings. It's the most interesting movements between 37 and 83 hours of July window.

Jordan chose Mavericks

DeAndre Jordan unexpectedly leaves the Los Angeles Clippers. He resigned from the Clippers for a five-year offer of $ 110 million, for a four-year contract for $ 81 million in the Dallas Mavericks. Additionally reduces the financial difference lenient tax laws in the state of Texas. The second reason is the desire to 27-year-old centers - excellent collecting and getting better defender - to play a greater role in the attack. The Clippers played around the duo of Chris Paul - Blake Griffin. Mavericks skaperowali vision of him receiving balls to play one on one. This is understandable - Jordan wants to grow as a player. So far, however, he did not display virtually any skill game with his back to the basket. Last season, 92% kicks Jordan was cast in a radius of 90 cm from the rim and were mainly ripples and alley-oopy of passes to Chris Paul. According to Synergy Sports throughout the season he had only a 66 point action with his back to the basket, and only 38 of them managed to give away a throw. In up to 36.4% of such situations because he was injured (most in the NBA), because only 39% hit free throws. It will be the biggest problem in the development of Jordan - rivals will prefer to foul him instead of letting him finish one-on-one action. So far in the NBA did not show that one too, a movement with his back to the basket, on which he could base its development.

Summer window: the first 12 hours

Summer box: 13-36 hours

Mavericks risk of Matthews

Mavericks will sign a four-year contract - for approx. 57 million - from the caster defender Trail Blazers Wesley Matthews. Matthews is a very good player, useful on both sides of the dance floor. For the Mavericks, however, considerable risks - Matthews tore the Achilles tendon in spring, in October over 29 years and very important in his game play physical strength. Rehabilitation can cause this, he would have to lose a few kilos and relieve knee. Achilles injuries are to himself that are often announcement trouble with his knees. Mavericks are now composed of Matthews, Jordan, 38-year-old Dirk Nowitzkiego, Chandler Parsons, but in addition to them, the composition is virtually devoid of valuable players. The others are Raymond Felton, Devin Harris, Richard Jefferson and Bernard James. There is a lack of class playmaker. Mavericks is to use a $ 2.8 million exception "room" and minimum contracts. But perhaps the Mavericks - like a year ago Rockets - to strengthen the composition will also exploited the regular season.

Aldridge thoughts and them dinners

LaMarcus Aldridge for the second time met with the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs. With these second at a dinner in Los Angeles. According to reports now I need a few days for it to take a final decision. Spurs are still the favorite, against the Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets.

Spurs, Suns - someone loses

Spurs gave to Atlanta Tiago Splitter and let go Aron Baynesowi (Pistons) and Marco Belinelliemu (Sacramento) - in order to re-sign the contract with Danny Green, and offer a maximum contract LaMarcusowi Aldridge. Additionally, even Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili will have to agree on total earnings approx. 7-8 million in 2015/16 season. The Suns, in turn, gave the Pistons Marcus Morris, Danny Granger and Reggie Bullock to open approx. $ 10 million financial area. To be able to sign Aldridge will probably have to get rid of even one of the two Markieff Morris / Alex Len. This may await until the Aldridge decides. They can move one of them in the exchange of a sign-and-trade with the Portland Trail Blazers. At the end, however, one club - Spurs or Suns - lose players to make room for Aldridge, whom he could not win ... A year ago in a similar situation, the Houston Rockets gave Omer Asik (Pelicans) and Jeremy Lina (Lakers ) to be able to offer a maximum contract to Chris Boshowi. Bosh Miami Heat chose the offer.

Rondo in Sacramento

Rajon Rondo will sign a one-year contract with the Kings for approx. 9.5 million. As Chandler Parsons convinced Jordan to play the Mavericks, as Assistant to the General Manager, Kings proved to Rudy Gay - Rondo was the best man at his wedding. Rondo fractious wants to rebuild his reputation and return to the market of free agents in 2016. To do so must finally become a greater threat projective, to recover some of the athleticism that has lost breaking more than two years ago ligament in his knee and did not fall out with coach George Karl. This last - theoretically the easiest - may prove to be the biggest challenge. New Kings player was a sniper Marco Belinelli, who will sign a three-year contract for $ 19 million. Previously, however, the bids Kings gave up Wesley Matthews and Monta Ellis.

What about the Clippers?

Players will be able to sign contracts until July 9th. Clippers are so time is to try to convince the Mavericks to the exchange, which technically would give Jordan. To do this you will need a third team. It is speculated that these may be Indiana Pacers, who will be the last year of the contract trade Roy Hibbert. The potential replacement may also join the Cleveland Cavaliers, who want to use 10.5 million US dollars worth contract 'Products Brendan Haywood to bring a player or players. If the Clippers will gain no player in the exchange of a sign-and-trade with Jordan, the market opportunities are limited only to use the mid-level exception and minimum contracts. Clippers may not have even the former, because conditions have already agreed a three-year contract for $ 10 million. Paul Pierce. But Jordan's departure will reduce the amount of their contracts and can make them still remain approx. 2.5 million dollars to use the title of a full mid-level exception (5.5 million dollars). - The rest of the contract would take exception Pierce. An alternative to the Clippers may be signing a contract with a small Javal McGee. Plus with the loss of Jordan, the $ 30 million that may have a financial year in space when free agent is Kevin Durant.

Ellis in Indiana

Mavericks acquired Matthews and Jordan in place of Monty Ellis and Tyson Chandler. The latter signed a four-year contract with the Phoenix Suns, and the first hooked up a three-year contract for $ 44 million from the Indiana Pacers.

Knicks fell to Lopez

New York Knicks finish summer window with Arron Afflalo and centers of Robin Lopez as two of his best ACQUIRED players. Little? Not much. Lopez will sign a four-year contract for 54 million dollars. Afflalo a two-year contract for 16 million dollars, and a new player the Knicks will be a winger Derrick Williams - $ 10 million for two years. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers still have not yet brought any player. Aldridge await the decision.

Robust additions Wizards

Washington Wizards have lost Paul Pierce for the Clippers, but with the Milwaukee Bucks acquired winger Jared Dudley and sign a one-year contract for 2.1 million dollars with the sniper Gary Neal. This is a very valuable extras on the circuit, potential replacements Bradley Beal and Otto Porter. At the same soon 30-year-old Dudley is able to do on the court very similar things he did Pierce, which also play as a power forward at lower settings. So he played last season in Bucks, hitting 38.5% kicks in three (39.6% career).
