Trading day is approaching, and teams are gearing up to make a big catch in the trading market to improve their lineups.
First, according to NBA reporter Michael Scotto, the Celtics have put Dennis Schroeder and Aaron Nesmith on the shelves. The Celtics are the first team to claim Schroeder this season, playing as little black as last season at the Lakers, averaging 16 points, 4 boards and 3 assists per game. In fact, the reason why the Green Army wanted to trade Schroeder was to exchange him for a veteran like Jeff Green, and the Green Army also asked the Suns center Smith. Schroeder's performance is a good match for his own $5 million contract, and even somewhat cost-effective.
Secondly, the Clippers have not been smooth this season, although the small card can not play, but there is also a Major General Joe in the team, and unfortunately Paul George is also injured. Meiji Fisher reported that the Clippers may trade the veterans on the team. Another Western executive revealed that the Clippers could be traded except for those who would not send away Ka George Jr. and Mann. In fact, the Clippers gave up this season, which is a wise choice.
George's injuries are unclear and need to be revisited in four weeks. Even if General Joe can return in full blood, the Clippers will not go far into the playoffs without a small card. So if the Clippers give up this season, it is a good idea to choose to play again next year. The Clippers could save them $40 million in luxury taxes just by trading Ibaka, which gives them more reasons to give up this season.
Finally, the Lakers signed Dunbuya again, this wave of operations is somewhat incomprehensible, when Dunbuya averaged 7 points and 3 boards per game in two games, it was OK, at that time it was not signed, and now it is used to investigate Dunbuya again with a two-way contract. If you think about it, it may also be the front line of the reinforcement team, James has played the center, and veterans like Melon Ariza have slowed down the defensive rotation by half a beat. But it is not excluded that the Lakers are looking for Dunbuya to work as temporary workers again, after all, the Lakers have always been very confused in the employment arrangement.
