A new season of sports
In the NBA, it is still a small holiday after All-Star Weekend, and all teams are actively preparing for the game, and the management of each team is also trying to strengthen the roster.
Edit. The Minnesota Timberwolves broke the news today: they officially extended the contract of veteran guard Mike Conley, offering a two-year, $22 million contract. As a result, Conley will be with the Timberwolves until 2026. Considering that Conley entered the NBA in 2007, he will be playing for 19 seasons at that time, which is really amazing.
Conley and Yi Jianlian participated in the draft in the same year, and now there are really few players in the 2007 NBA draft who can stay in the league. Conley has a lot of experience and knows how to protect his body, so he has fewer injury problems, plays efficiently, and is loved by all teams.
After many years with the Memphis Grizzlies, Conley moved to the Utah Jazz and Timberwolves, both of which were the team's backcourt mainstays, keeping the team's offense organized. In addition, Conley's defense is also very good, never reckless and never makes mistakes, so he is a player that many teams want to bring in.
Edit. This season, the San Antonio Spurs have Wembanyama, but they lack a good veteran point guard to help feed the ball and make Wembanyama grow faster. However, Conley has now completed a contract extension with the Timberwolves, and there is a high probability that he will retire after the contract expires, because he is almost 40 years old at that time, and the Spurs can be said to have lost an important recruitment target.
Edit. Conley's contract is also worth it, and now the annual salary of about $10 million is really not high in the NBA, that is, the level of an ordinary middle-class contract. Conley can give center Gobert a good performance, which is why the Timberwolves keep him.
