Hello everyone! Let's talk about the NBA today and share a few NBA news for you: 1 for 2 transactions have failed! Exposed the Nets 3-for-1 trade Covington plan, Curry bad news.
First of all, the 1 for 2 deal failed! Previous media reported that the Nuggets and pistons reached a trade, the Nuggets sent Pol Bohr, from the Pistons traded McGrud and a future second-round pick. However, the Pistons officially said that the deal was declared aborted because Pol-Pol did not pass the team's medical examination. Before the Nuggets' home game against the Blazers, Nuggets coach Malone spoke about Pol-Pol. Malone said Pol was coming back soon and he was in good health now. So far this season, Ball has averaged 5.8 minutes per game and can get 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds. With the Nuggets having a number of quality frontcourt players, Ball was unable to get a steady playing time on the team. Previously, the Nuggets wanted to send Pol away because the team wanted to save on luxury taxes.
Secondly, the US media broke the news that the Nets 3-for-1 trade Covington plan, the Nets sent Sharp, Jevon Carter and Brown, from the Blazers trade to Covington. The US media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
For the Blazers, After Lillard's successful surgery, he will hardly play in the regular season this season, and the Blazers are likely to miss out on the playoffs. According to media reports, the Blazers still want to rebuild around Lillard, because Lillard is the guarantee of tickets. The Trail Blazers are willing to trade Nurkic and Covington in exchange for reliable rebuilding chips. The Nets' young center Sharp has recently had a more eye-catching performance, against the Bulls, he scored 20 points and 7 rebounds in a single game, has a good inside line to eat cake, can enhance the Blazers' interior strength.
For the Nets, the team's primary goal this season is to storm the championship, and keeping young players is of little use in the playoffs. Covington is the league's top 3D with both defensive and outside projection capabilities. If the Nets can trade him, the playoff defensive alphabet brother will have the confidence. Covington can play the No. 5 position in the small lineup, opening up space for Harden's offense. Covington is a veteran and experienced player, and he is a great fit for a championship team like the Nets.
Finally, Curry has bad news. Due to Curry's recent poor performance, his ranking above the MVP list has been declining. According to the latest MVP list, Curry ranks sixth. In first to fifth place are Alphabet Brother, Jokic, Durant, Embiid and DeRozan; sixth to tenth are Curry, Morant, Paul, James and Gobert; and eleventh to fifteenth are Booker, Doncic, Harden, Lavin and VanVleet. According to media statistics, Curry has shot less than 50% of the shots in 8 consecutive games, setting a record for the longest game of his career.
