The East, which has been criticized by the outside world for its lack of competitiveness in the past few years, has emerged a large number of dark horse teams this season, far behind the West in terms of competitiveness.
The current number one in the East belongs to the Big Dark Horse Bulls, who were also ranked 11th in the East last season and didn't even have a play-off spot.
The same is true of the Raptors, Hornets, Wizards and Cavaliers, who have all made it to the playoffs this season, and naturally squeezed some of the previous playoff teams out of the competition.
This includes the Green Army and Pacers, which are currently ranked 11th and 13th in the East.
Faced with a bad situation, the Pacers have laid flat and decisively chosen to rebuild, while the Green Army is still struggling to turn things around through a trade.
In view of the reality and needs of such teams, the US media "Fadeawayworld" also decisively recruited the Green Army, Philadelphia and pacers to complete a 3-party 8-man deal, which is expected to achieve a happy effect.
Potential trading scenarios
Philadelphia: Get Jaylen Brown;
Green Army: Get Ben Simmons + Turner + Wharton;
Pacers: Get Smart + Williams + Sable + Neismith + 2022 first-round pick (Green Army) + 2022 first-round pick (Philadelphia)
For Philadelphia, it was a trade option to resolve the team's conflict with Ben Simmons while improving the team's ability to compete for the title.
Since the beginning of the tournament, although Ben Simmons has not played, but with Embiid gradually entering the peak period, the team is still in fifth place in the East, and recently won a wave of 6 consecutive wins.
With Brown, a striker with a good offensive and defensive position, Philadelphia, which built its team around Brown + Embiid + Maxi, will be a reasonable championship team for a long time to come.
For the Green Army, this is also a fundamental solution to the team's current predicament.
In the past few seasons, the Green Army has been trying to compete for the championship, so it has brought in a number of defender players such as Irving, Walker, And Schroeder, trying to partner Tatum and Brown, the forward twins.
The result is that the team has not changed in the slightest, making it possible to break up the twin stars of Tatum and Brown, and it is also a necessary choice.
If you consider it from the data level alone, there is no need for the Green Army to open and trade two players, because they have played an All-Star performance, and the two proud offensive and defensive talents are visible to the naked eye, like a replica of George + Leonard.
But the problem is that both players have shortcomings in organizational ability, the longboard is a personal single with the ball, and the Green Army lineup has not had a top organizer, and even had to let Horford organize the attack at the elbow and position.
This led to the delay in the two people's chemical reaction, and with the replacement of players such as Irving, Walker, and Schroeder, the Green Army was still scattered.
The deal was the right deal, replacing Ben Simmons, the top organizer, and even though ben Simmons' projection ability was widely questioned, his organization and defensive ability was undoubtedly the top level of the league.
In addition, the Green Army also got Turner in the trade, providing the team with an interior defender with the ability to space, that is, much stronger than Williams who sent away, at least in stature.
Warren's addition added another stable scoring point to the Green Army bench, and his "two-gun combination" with Schroeder in the connection section is worth looking forward to.
For the Pacers, the purpose of the deal is clearer, to get young players who are conducive to reconstruction and first-round picks, and to accelerate the team's reconstruction process.
So, for all three teams, and for the players involved in the deal, it's a deal that promises a happy ending.
Philadelphia upgraded Simmons to Brown, who is both offensive and defensive, and went all out to attack the championship, and the Green Army cut Brown, betting on Ben Simmons and other three generals, trying to reverse the team's current unfavorable situation, and the walkers sent away the immediate combat power in exchange for more rebuilding chips.
