Chapter 303 The situation changes suddenly
Seeing that January is coming to an end soon, and the league's trade deadline is gradually approaching, each team began to seek some suitable trades for their teams, but there were no big deals reported, basically Some small fights, such as the Rockets traded Kanan plus a second-round pick from the 76ers for Mike Daniels.

However, shortly after the Pacers ended the game with the Magic, three relatively large deals were reported one after another. Although they did not involve such a very big-name star, they were enough to change the relationship between the two teams. strength.

First of all, the first deal was a three-way deal between the Suns, the Heat and the Pelicans. The Suns sent two brothers, Goran Dragic and Zoran Dragic, and got Granger, Hamilton, Kerr, Salmons, and the next two first-round picks.The Heat sent out: Granger, Hamilton, Cole, Sean Williams, the next two first rounds, and got the Dragic brothers.The Pelicans traded Salmons to Sean Williams.

As far as the Suns are concerned, they cleaned up their bloated perimeter and got two future first-round picks. This is undoubtedly a valuable asset for the Suns who are rebuilding. It will also help them clear up salary space in the future.

The Heat are obviously the opposite. After they lost James this season, their combat effectiveness has plummeted, but they are not like giving up Wade, the last glory of the top ten shooting guards in history, and they are ready to take another gamble. In exchange for the future of the team, Dragic, who ranks first in the assist list, is an immediate force to assist Wade, plus Bosh, who will only be able to return from injury next season, and Hassan Whiteside, who they dug out this season. , Their combat effectiveness next season cannot be underestimated.The Pelicans are just a soy sauce presence in this deal, so it goes without saying.

In addition to this deal, the Suns followed up with another deal, and the subject of the deal was Thomas Jr..They traded with the Celtics in exchange for Thornton, who played fairly well this season, and a 16-year Cavaliers first-round pick. Little Thomas.

After the Suns traded, the problems on the guard line were basically resolved, and after Dragic and Thomas Jr. were sent away, they could also straighten up Eric Bledsoe , Xuebu has played more and more like a leader this season, so the Suns are probably planning to use him as the core of the team.

On the Celtics side, after acquiring Thomas Jr., they rose directly.First of all, the most lacking problem on their back line is the offensive with the ball and the decisive shooting range. Now that Thomas Jr. has arrived, this problem has been solved directly. In addition, the arrival of Thomas Jr. can also make Kyle, who had no offensive strengths. The Tetes find their pillars.As for their former leader Rondo, he was traded to the Mavericks shortly after the last match against the Pacers.

As for the third deal, it was a deal that Ye Xuan felt was more threatening.That is the three-way deal between the Thunder, the Pistons and the Jazz. In the deal, the Thunder sent Reggie Jackson and Perkins and got Singler, Novak, Kanter and Augustin.The Pistons sent Augustin and Singler for Reggie Jackson.The Jazz sent Novak and Kanter and got Perkins.

After the deal ended, the Thunder's lineup took on a new look, and their bench seemed to be full. Although Perkins was sent away as the main insider, Adams in their team grew rapidly and made up for it perfectly. filled this vacancy.Moreover, he sent away Reggie Jackson, a potential outside line that completely conflicts with Westbrook's position, in exchange for a group of substitutes that fit the team's attributes very well. For the Thunder, it can also be regarded as a reinforcement.

What makes Ye Xuan feel a little threatened is the gain of the Pistons in this transaction. It seems that the Pistons exchanged two main substitutes for Reggie Jackson and did not make much money, but Ye Xuan always felt that Reggie -Jackson is a player with great potential. After the Pistons acquired him, the team's main lineup began to complete. Unlike before, relying on Jennings to organize the offense is simply like a black hole.

Now that Reggie Jackson arrives, as long as the Pistons can run their main lineup well and equip some strong substitutes, then the Pistons can quickly re-emerge. As Ye Xuan, who has played several times this season Said, of course he knows that the Pistons are very strong inside. Now that there is someone who can help them pass the ball, it will be a bit difficult to easily limit the two insiders in the future.

In addition to the win-win situation between the Thunder and the Pistons, I have to talk about the Jazz. The Jazz basically got nothing in this deal, except that Perkins is an experienced veteran who can give newcomers to the team. Other than some pointers, there is nothing to gain. Although Kanter was traded out to clean up the team's interior, at the same time he got a Perkins who is also an interior. Ke also got involved, and I have to say that the Jazz's deal this time is really a bit like making a wedding dress for others.

In fact, the top management of the Pacers are not idle either. First of all, they submitted a trade application to the Pistons, asking for one of Andre Drummond or Greg Monroe, but the result was directly rejected by the other party. The words came back, nothing else, you want these two people?sure!Take Ye Xuan in exchange.

Afterwards, the Pacers executives asked the Jazz for Gobert. The Jazz were prepared to continue cleaning up the inside, but they obviously did not plan to use Gobert to trade Hibbert, who was still inside. They agreed to trade with the Pacers. Trade, but they want Solomon Hill and Shumpert, and they also want a first-round pick.Of course, the Pacers executives didn't dare to trade Ye Xuan's loyal dog-leg Solomon Hill, so this trade had to be abandoned in the end.

Afterwards, when they asked the price of Hassan Whiteside, Jordan Jr., and Gasol Jr., which were obviously not for sale, the answer they got was even simpler, that is, Ye Xuan, pickled peppers, come and exchange them!If you can't bear it, then you don't have to talk about it.Therefore, the Pacers' trading plan can only be shelved in the end.
