From the day when the free trade market closed this season has been getting closer and closer, the Originally defined by the outside world as the Pacers who opened the player's supermarket, but now they are extremely calm, according to foreign media ESPN reports, it is precisely because of the blind confidence of the Pacers management that it has caused the current embarrassing situation, not surprisingly, Little Sabonis and Turner will eventually stay in India City, of course, if the Pacers management finds its own problems in time, reduce the asking price for the inner twin towers, and do not rule out the possibility of a sentinel transaction. In addition to the above reports about the Pacers, in the past few hours, the NBA has also received 4 news: 7 for 3 deals finalized! Congratulations to the Pelicans for picking up CJ, Lillard Harden is disheartened, and the 30-year-old center wants to join the Lakers.
First up is the Pelicans, and earlier today, TA reporters reported on a blockbuster deal in which the Pelicans used Hart, Satoransky, Alexander Walker, Luzada, 2022 first-round picks, 2 second-round picks, and got CJ McCollum, Snell, Nance Jr. from the Blazers. From the relevant follow-up reports, it is learned that the robbery war caused by CJ, the Lone Ranger was once in the leading position, whether it is the number of future draft picks, or the transaction value of negotiations chips such as Brunson and Hardaway Jr., the Pelicans do not have the advantage, and the reason why they can laugh to the end and get CJ in a way that picks up leaks is largely due to the hesitation of the Lone Ranger management, who has not yet decided whether it is necessary to renew Brunson in advance.
With the Trail Blazers trading, let's talk about Lillard. After the 7-for-3 plan was officially finalized, sources showed that the Blazers did not intend to rebuild on this, but continued to build a team around Lillard, and the team management intended to use the $60 million salary space freed up in this offseason to pursue the league's top ten superstars. For the Blazers' reconstruction plan, according to a friend of Lillard's side, as the Blazers' iconic figure in the past 10 years, Lillard has tired of the verbal commitments of the team management, and even a little discouraged, after all, so many years have passed, from assisting Aldridge, Batum, Matthews led by the group of players, to the backcourt double gun with CJ, Lillard left his best youth in Portland, but the Blazers management let the reinforcement opportunities slip away from the eyes again and again, not surprisingly, Lillard will apply for a trade within a short period of time.
Similar to Lillard's situation, Harden is now a little powerless, although the time to join the Nets is not long, but it can be clearly felt that the team management in the face of problems in the face of the adaptability is really not flattering, especially in the process of face-to-face communication with Irving, the Nets seem to have been playing the role of a compromiser, you can hardly imagine that the NBA actually gave birth to a "part-time" player this season, and he is exactly Irving who has been highly expected by Harden and Durant. Over time, Irving's part-time problem has been gradually amplified, the Nets ushered in a very serious wave of injuries, the record is even more sharp, swooping down to the Eastern Conference playoff range, under the influence of multiple factors, Harden's mentality has also had certain problems.
It is reported that after the End of the Nets' latest training session, a number of players including Harden were interviewed by the media, Mills said that Harden's body has nearly recovered to 100%, the competitive state looks no different from before, when the outside world mistakenly thinks that Harden is about to return from injury, the Nets backcourt core emphasizes that they will continue to be absent, in the eyes of many NBA industry insiders, Harden's move is exactly the embodiment of discouragement, before the Irving part-time problem has not been effectively solved, Harden won't make a hasty comeback like he did last season, and he may want to extend his professional life as much as possible. Finally, speaking of the Lakers, the source comes from reporter Matt Moore, the Lakers have recently conducted targeted mediation on the reinforcement plan, and they are ready to keep Wei Shao, because by July this year, the Lakers have another first-round signing to trade, at which time, they will consider restarting the transaction negotiations on Wei Shao.
In addition, the Lakers are recently actively looking for a suitable No. 5 candidate, in addition to Tucker + Nunn + Jordan Jr. + second round picks and other trading chips, the Lakers also intend to wait for opportunities in the buyout market, Matt Moore was told that the Lakers are planning to exchange more for less, trying to free up a player place, so as to ensure the flexibility of the team lineup. As of now, 30-year-old center Tristan Thompson intends to join the Lakers through a buyout, as the core of the James Cavaliers 2.0 period, Thompson hopes to get another championship ring in the second half of his career, and the Lakers with James are his primary goal.
