Two signs and two slashes were reached overnight! The Lakers cut two players in a row to make room, and the Clippers 13+2 luxury roster

On July 21, news came from the NBA free market that 2 signings and 2 layoffs have been reached in the past night, of which the signings came from the Nuggets and the Grizzlies, both of which provided two-way contracts; the Lakers cut two players in a row to free up salary space for signing Smart; ESPN showed off the Clippers' 13+2 luxury lineup, and Bill's joining made them more competitive.

Nuggets signed a two-way contract with defender Curtis Jones (pictured above), which was the undraft this year. This summer, he played in the Summer League for the Nuggets, averaging 15 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 47%.

The Grizzlies signed a two-way contract with forward PJ Hall, who played for the Nuggets for a short time last season, averaging 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. The Lakers reached an agreement with Smart that the two sides will sign a two-year, $11 million contract next. In order to sign successfully, the Lakers also adjusted the lineup to free up salary space. The Clippers also cut Milton and Goodwin in succession. Among them, the Lakers were still a little reluctant to leave Goodwin. They originally planned to trade and send it away, but unfortunately they failed to make substantial progress and finally had to choose to cut it. Since Goodwin played in the league for four seasons, the Lakers were unable to sign him with a two-way contract. After sacking Milton and Goodwin, the Lakers successfully freed up their salary space. Next, they waited for the end of Smart's clarification period, and the two sides could officially sign the contract. After signing Smart, the Lakers are still 1 million US dollars away from the No. 1 rich line, and there is still a place to use the veteran's basic salary. However, for the Lakers, they may maintain this lineup, leaving a place to maintain the flexibility of the lineup, and also pay attention to the buyout market.

The Clippers' operations this summer are also very good. ESPN also showed off their existing 13+2 lineup, which is quite luxurious and more reasonable. This summer, the Clippers introduced Lopez, Collins and Bill, and the inside was improved, while Bill directly replaced Powell's position. The specific list is: Harden, Leonard, Bill, Collins, Zubac, Dunn, Bogdanovic, Jones Jr., Batum, Lopez Big Big, Christie, Kobe Brown and Needhauser, and the two-way contracts are Flowers and Baldwin.
