The Indiana Walkers supermarket has opened so far, and finally made its first sale.
The Cavaliers and Pacers struck a 4-for-2 deal, with the Cavaliers sending Rubio, a 2022 lotto-protected first-round pick, a 2022 second-round pick (from the Rockets) and a 2027 second-round pick (from the Jazz), with Le Vere of the Pacers and a second-round pick for 2022 (from the Heat).
Let's analyze it.
The two sides agreed that it was Rubio + protected first round + 1 second round = Le Vere.
Rubio is reimbursed this season, and the Pacers want his expired contract to clear up the salary space when the time comes. Then there's the protected first round, the Cavaliers are now in third place in the East, and the 2022 first round is the mid-to-late stage, plus protection, the value is not high.
So overall, the Cavaliers didn't pay much, but in exchange for a wing that averaged 18.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. In the Pacers' final game, Le Vere was 19-of-26, slashing 42 points, with five rebounds and eight assists.
This wave of blood earns ah.
The arrival of Le Vere made up for Sexton's position after the season reimbursement, and the Cavaliers' roster became more and more complete. This year's East is getting more and more volumeted.
It is worth mentioning that the deal took place in the meeting between the two teams today, and when LeVert walked into the dressing room, he was told of the trade. He quickly accepted the fact, sitting in the Pacers' locker room and talking to Cavaliers basketball director Kobe Altman on the phone.
In addition, Aaron and Le Ver are reunited, and life is so wonderful. And many people have not forgotten it, these two people are Harden's trading body.
The Nets studded at the time, and the result is now full of chicken feathers, and the Cavaliers have collected 2 Nets fragments, and the strength of the lineup has increased greatly. But the Nets have changed again.
Due to a hamstring injury, Harden did not play in a game with the Nuggets. The Nets unsurprisingly suffered an eight-game losing streak.
As mentioned earlier, only 4 teams in history have suffered 6 consecutive defeats in the championship season, and 7 consecutive defeats have never been seen, let alone 8 consecutive defeats. From this point of view, the Nets have little hope of winning the championship this season, but there is another possibility, that is, the Nets make history, and the probability is also very small.
Before the game, Nash said that Harden was eager to play this game, and Nash gave a positive response to the trade rumors: "Harden himself wants to stay at the Nets, other claims are just outside noise." And all that noise is coming from the 76ers, who want to poach Harden from the Nets. ”
As for whether Harden will go, Nash affirmed: "The team will not trade Harden. ”
The Nets should have the heart to trade Harden, after all, if it is like this, it must be the locker room That Bengbu has stayed. But the leading big brother Durant came out to stabilize the situation and said that he did not want Harden to go, which can be described as a storm in one fell swoop. In addition, Big Brother is very close to a comeback.
