Although Hall's data in the NBA are not impressive, it has handed in the Development League, averaging 32.0 minutes per game, contributing a double-double of 18.9 points and 11.8 rebounds, plus 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Shaq Milton played 30 regular season games for the Lakers last season, averaging 11.5 minutes per game, scoring 3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists. However, he did not enter the rotation list of head coach Redick in the playoffs, and only played 2 games, averaging only 2 minutes per game.

In addition to the above formal signing and layoffs, there are also many transaction news in the NBA today. Although it has not been officially announced, it is also the most eye-catching.

The Warriors and the 76ers swap future stars

Recently, Eddie Bitar, a reporter from the US media Fadeaway World, reported that a very reasonable deal may be made between the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers, and the two teams swap two future stars.

Eddie Bitar's trading suggestions are as follows:

Golden State Warriors won: Quentin Grimes (sign first and then exchange)

Philadelphia 76ers won: Jonathan Kumingga (sign first and then exchange)

Quentin Grimes can perfectly adapt to the Warriors system, have fixed-point shooting ability, positive game attitude and playoff experience. Last season, Grimes averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, facing 46.7% shooting, 38.5% three-point shooting percentage and 75.7% free throw percentage.

The Philadelphia 76ers found the perfect long-term partner for Tyres Maxi. Kumingga is creative, young and energetic and able to be the perfect cornerstone of the 76ers with Tyres Maxi. Coumming, who played 47 games in the regular season, averaged 24.3 minutes per game, scored 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, shot 45.4% from the field, 30.5% from three-pointers and 66.8% from free throws. He played in 8 games in the playoffs, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, scoring 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, shooting 48.4% from the field, 40% from three-pointers and 71% from free throws.

Klay Thompson was traded to the Orlando Magic

According to US media TWSN reporter Marisa Myers, the Dallas Mavericks will trade Klay Thompson to the Orland Magic in exchange for Cole Anthony and Jet Howard.

The Dallas Mavericks are still looking for ways to improve the team's strength after selecting No. 1 Cooper Flagg and forming the new three giants of Per Flagg, Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving after selecting No. 1 Cooper Flagg, and trading Klay Thompson is one of the options.

Klay Thompson will help the Magic fill their biggest shortcoming. The Magic were terrible in three-point shooting last season, with the team shooting only 31.8%. Although Klay Thompson's overall statistics fell last season, his three-point shooting percentage still reached 39.1%. Perhaps it will become the last puzzle for Magic to hit the championship. And for the Dallas Mavericks, they can get young players from the Magic through trades to prepare for the future reconstruction around Flag.
