Hello everyone! Let's talk about the NBA today and share a few NBA news for you: Nuggets deal reached! Exposing the Nets' 1-for-1 trade with Howard's plan, Clay returned to the starting lineup.
First of all, the Nuggets deal is closed! According to media reports, the Nuggets reached a 1-for-2 deal, the team sent Bol, an interior player with a height of 2.18 meters, to get McGrud and a second-round draft pick from the Pistons. The name pointed out that Ball did well in the Nuggets, but the team's frontcourt was crowded, and Pol's trip to the Pistons would give them more opportunities to perform. Ball's market was bullish before the draft, and it was thought that he would be selected with the top ten picks, but he was eventually selected by the Nuggets with the 44th pick.
Salary experts point out that both players' contracts are expiring contracts, with Ball on a contract of $2.15 million and McGrud on a salary of $1.7 million this season. After the Nuggets closed the deal, the team's salary became more flexible, and the total salary fell below the luxury tax of $2.4 million.
Secondly, the US media broke the news that the Nets 1-for-1 trade Howard plan, the Nets sent Griffin, from the Lakers trade to Get Howard. US media pointed out that the deal can help both teams. The US media made a detailed analysis from the perspective of the Nets:
For the Nets, Clarkston is currently the team's starting center, and he can complete the blocking and dismantling with Harden on the offensive end and eat cake down. However, Clarkston also showed some shortcomings on the defensive end, that is, he could not limit the impact of a strong interior player like Alphabet Brother on the Nets' interior. The Bucks have been potential opponents for the Nets in the playoffs, and the team won't be able to go any further in the playoffs without solving this puzzle.
Although Howard is older, it is perfectly okay for him to play a rotation time on the court, and he can use his defensive ability to limit the play of the alphabet brother. In addition, Howard can also grab a lot of offensive rebounds on the offensive end, which can give the Nets a second offensive opportunity.
Finally, Clay returned to the starting lineup. According to media reports, Clay officially made a comeback in today's game against the Cavaliers. The Warriors head coach has a starting lineup of Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Green and Looney, and Klay's first game back is to start. According to media statistics, Klay Thompson can break the 12,000-point mark with only 5 points in this game; Klay Thompson only needs to hit two more three-pointers to reach the 1800 three-point mark. Arguably, Klay Thompson's night of return also has the potential to be his milestone night.
