Chapter 652 The Actions of the Raptors
As the only foreign team in the NBA, the Raptors also made frequent shots in the free market this season.

In addition to poaching DeMarre Carroll from the Eagles with a big contract of 4 for 6000 years, he also signed Biyombo with a price of 2 million for 600 years.

In the Hornets last season, Biyombo played 64 games, including 21 starts, averaging 19.4 minutes per game, contributing 4.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks.

Bismack Biyombo was the No. 11 pick in 7. He has an amazing wingspan and excellent physical talent.

He's only 6-foot-6, but has a terrifying 7-foot-7 wingspan.

This summer, the Hornets had the right to offer him a restricted free agent, but Hornets owner Jordan did not do so.

Biyombo became a completely free agent, and now the Raptors signed him to make up for the vacancy left by Amir Johnson, and hoped that the young center could grow with Vallance Yunas.

Not only that, the Raptors also reached a one-year short contract with "Diamond" Luis Scola, with an annual salary of about 300 million.

"Scola has played his own achievements in the international arena and the NBA arena. We are very happy to sign this player. He can bring leadership and experience to our team's locker room." Raptors President Wu Jerry said, "Scola is a winner wherever he goes."

Scola was selected by the Spurs with the 02th overall pick in the 56 draft, but he waited until the 07-08 season before landing in the NBA. At this time, his signing rights have been traded to the Rockets.

In his rookie season, he averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in the Rockets, and was selected to the best rookie team.

In the next three seasons, Scola was one of the 6 players in the league who could score at least 12 points and 8 rebounds and maintain a shooting percentage of more than 50%. The other five were Duncan, Gasol, Howard, and David Lee. and Stoudemire.

It is worth mentioning that Scola was Yao Ming's best partner back then, and he was also loved by Chinese fans.

In a previous interview, Scola said: "Playing with Yao Ming is very interesting, he is very talented, probably the most talented player I played with. I miss him."

The two of them have a good personal relationship. In the 2013 China-US Charity Match, Scola also attended the game. He admitted that he could not refuse Yao Ming's request.

Yi Jianlian also participated in this charity match, and he is the biggest star in the charity match!

After leaving the Rockets, Scola moved to Phoenix and Indiana.

In the last season, he played 81 games on behalf of the Pacers, averaging 9.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.Throughout his career, he played in 640 of 631 games, and he didn't miss a game in six seasons. This is an iron man as tough as Yi Jianlian.

And after the Spurs signed Adelaide, they couldn't control another person.

Corey Joseph.

In order to free up more salary space, the Spurs withdrew their offer contract for him.

Not long after becoming an unrestricted free agent, Joseph agreed to a four-year, $4 million deal with the Toronto Raptors.

As for Joseph, his ability is enough to allow him to get a contract with an annual salary of 300-500 million US dollars in other teams. After all, he is only 23 years old and has not yet reached his peak.

In the past season, Joseph played the best performance of his career. In 18.3 minutes of playing time, he averaged 6.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. The shooting percentage is as high as 50.4%.

As both Parker and Mill were plagued by injuries, Joseph played 79 regular-season games for the Spurs last season, and he even had to start the team in several games.

Although Joseph is not a good shooter, he still hit 36.4% of his three-pointers.And his mid-range shooting ability, patience, athleticism and shot-making are all things any team needs.For those teams with cap space, he will be a qualified backup point guard.

What's more, Joseph is considered by the outside world to be the best defensive point guard for the Spurs, and he often plays a guest scoring position in the Spurs like Harden.

Toronto Sun reporter Ryan Wolstat pointed out that the Raptors first showed great interest in Joseph, while ESPN reporter Mark Stern broke the news that the Raptors and Joseph reached a total value of 1 million US dollars. The 3000-year signing agreement brought it back to Canada.

Yes, Joseph is a native of Toronto, which is his hometown, although he grew up in Montreal.
Before the start of the season, the Raptors signed Anthony Bennett with a one-year minimum salary of 95.

That's right, it's the parallel import champion.

Bennett was the No. 2013 pick in 5.2, but he performed poorly in both the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves. He averaged only 3.8 points and [-] rebounds per game last season. Finally, the Timberwolves decided to buy out Bennett’s contract this summer. He became the first No. [-] pick to be bought out without completing his rookie contract.

Originally, Bennett’s annual salary for the new season was US$580 million. He accepted a buyout amount of US$360 million from the Timberwolves. Now he signed a contract with a basic salary of US$95. In this buyout, he lost 130 million. USD or so.

It is worth mentioning that Bennett is originally a Canadian. Although he did not perform well in the NBA, he performed well on behalf of Canada in the U.S. Championship this summer. Maybe his performance will improve when he returns to his hometown to play.

However, Bennett also has to face fierce competition. There are currently 20 players in the Raptors training camp, of which only 14 have guaranteed contracts. According to the "Toronto Star", Bennett's contract is not completely guaranteed. A seat is up for grabs.

Bennett uploaded a picture of his signing on his social media. He said on the social network: "I am very happy to officially become a member of the Raptors and can't wait to start the new season!! There is no place like hometown."

Bennett is still quite sad. In terms of talent, this guy is really not weak.

He can play both a small forward and a power forward. He can create space for the team on the court, and he can also attack in the low post, with comprehensive abilities.

Not only that, he also has super athletic ability, jumping is extremely explosive, and has a standard NBA-style figure.The offensive skills are also very comprehensive. He can shoot from the outside and score inside. The outside shooting range even reaches the three-point line.

But after he arrived in the NBA, he didn't know whether it was acclimatization or what, but he just couldn't play. The Cavaliers originally thought of a combination of double champions or even triple champions, but in the end it was a river of spring water.
