The Lakers, Wei Shao is not compatible with the system, and refuses to change their playing style. Nowadays it is negative energy on the court, and not playing is negative assets. At present, you can only sell at a discount and seek someone who can trade. Considering The state and wind ratings of Westbrook this season, it is impossible to exchange for very high-quality instant combat power.
With the Nets, Irving's farce continues. In previous interviews, Irving reiterated that nothing in the NBA could change his decision not to vaccinate, and the Nets would have to trade him if they wanted to compete for the title. Owen's situation was very complicated, he had excellent immediate combat power, but no one had his instruction manual. In the three seasons since joining the Nets, he has only played half of the games per season on average, and it is difficult for a team willing to take over without a large discount.
The 76ers' farce with Simmons has also lasted for half a season, and they desperately want to sell Simmons, but they honestly don't want to sell too cheaply. The 76ers still have a lot of ideas about Harden, and they even want to bet that if the Nets don't break through in the playoffs this season, then they have a very good chance of getting Harden. Simmons can be one of the main chips in trading Harden at that time, and at the end of the season Harden can jump out of the contract, if the Nets do not agree to the trade, then Harden can fully execute the player option.
The Pacers have publicly rebuilt, and for now they're willing to put all but Duarte on the shelves. Meirstener and Sabonis Jr. will be the target of the scramble, of course, their demands are naturally high-quality young players and top draft picks.
Thompson is a meritorious player of the Warriors, and from a sentimental point of view, the Warriors' trade with Thompson will be scolded by many fans. But after Thompson returned to the team, Poole would not play. These games have been rather subdued, and today even lost at home to the Pacers, who openly rebuilt badly. In the current state of Thompson, it is difficult to sell at a very good price. To be honest, compared to Thompson, it is naturally more expensive than Thompson, at least for now, the Warriors have proved that without Thompson, they can still do the first place in the league. #NBA #
