Last night, while the vast majority of Chinese fans were sleeping or getting ready to fall asleep, there were a lot of exciting deals from the NBA across the ocean, the most impressive of which was that the Portland Trail Blazers traded McCollum to the New Orleans Pelicans.
But also last night, the Indiana Pacers made a lot of trade movement, they directly dismantled the twin towers, declaring that their idea of rebuilding is serious.
Last night, the Pacers officially reached a deal with the Sacramento Kings, sending Sabonis Jr., Lamb, Justin Holliday and a 2027 second-round pick in exchange for Hield, Halliburton and Tristan Thompson.
It's not surprising that the Pacers made a trade, as they announced early this season that they wanted a trade, regrouped the team, and almost all of their main players could be sent away. Now, the Pacers sending Sabonis Jr. means leaving Miles Turner behind and making the center the absolute main force, and the twin towers are no longer holding each other back.
In addition, the Pacers also freed up some salary space, because veteran Tristan Thompson's contract is about to expire, so that the Pacers can have more room to sign big stars in the offseason.
Turner is happy with the deal, and although his relationship with Sabonis Jr. is not bad, it is an indisputable fact that the two overlap in function and position. Turner is now an absolute mainstay for the Pacers, and he loves teaming up with full-potential guard Halliburton.
In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers have one less favorite because they liked hield the shooter Hield for a long time, and now Hilda has joined the Pacers, one step away from the Lakers. How the Lakers will make lineup adjustments next is very worthy of attention.
