One, 3 for 2 big deals were reached, and Redish joined the Knicks to join Barrett
Just today, the biggest deal of the 21-22 season so far was made, with the Hawks and Knicks taking the lead. The Hawks reportedly got knoxes and 2022 protected first-round picks for Redish, Solomon Hill, 2025 second-round picks. The deal has been struck, and less than a month before the deal deadline, it looks like deals are coming, and the NBA landscape is about to change a lot.
Reddish has done well with the Hawks, averaging 11.9 points and 2.5 rebounds per game this season and shooting nearly 38 percent from three-point range. Although Redish is known as the "Ice Shooter", his performance in recent times has been remarkable, cutting 30+ many times and cashing in on his talent. Now is also the time when Reddish's trade value is the highest, the Eagles decisively shot, got the instant player Knox and the first round of the pick.
It looks like the Hawks should still have a big move, maybe sending Collins away, after all, after Knox arrives, Collins' playing time will also be compressed.

Second, the Lakers will compete with the Blazers, Knicks and other teams to turner
The Lakers lost to the Kings in yesterday's game, and Wei Shao's performance was sluggish, rushing to the hot search list and being ridiculed by the outside world. Wei Shao was MVP at his peak, but his personal ability declined, which is also an indisputable fact, and it is almost impossible for the Lakers to trade Wei Shao, and can only be reinforced by other means.
The Lakers' Howard and Jordan Jr. have both been reduced to marginal players, the inside line can only rely on thick eyebrows and James, and the Lakers general manager also wants to share the pressure for James and wants to trade the Pacers' Turner. However, the competition is fierce, and the Lakers must pay attractive chips to reach a deal.
According to reports, the Pacers' asking price for Turner is multiple first-round picks, while the Lakers and Blazers, Knicks and other teams are competing for Turner. The Lakers' chips are obvious, in addition to the first round picks, tucker jr., Reeves and other potential stocks have a certain value. The Lakers are eager to strengthen the inside line, and it seems that before the trade deadline, the Lakers are likely to bring in an interior star to help James decompress. Turner is one of the league's best defensive players, averaging 13 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game this season.
Three, the Nets will trade Carter Jr
The Nets defeated the Bulls in yesterday's game, Durant and Harden, Irving three big three, the power is great, only three quarters, the victory and defeat has no suspense, it seems that as long as the Nets play the strongest level, no team can match it. The Nets need to stay healthy, and Nash needs to find ways to get the Big Three to play at the highest level.
The Nets' core lineup will not change, only minor repairs. According to Jake Fischer, a reporter for the Open Stand, the Nets are trying to send Carter Jr. away. Although Carter Jr. has played a good performance, but he is generally talented, and the Nets also want to get a player who can enter the rotation through trade, the Nets have no way back, the goal is to win the championship, if this year's championship battle fails, the Big Three may disintegrate.
Carter Jr. averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds per game, shooting below 30 percent in both categories. However, some teams in the rebuilding may try to get him, and if they can play, they will earn it. The Nets' Harris has not yet returned to the team, and when the full team returns, the Nets will launch an attack on the championship, and the Nets core players must remain healthy, which is also a prerequisite for the championship.
