On February 10, Beijing time, the NBA trade deadline approached, and the Jazz, Trail Blazers and Spurs also completed a three-way deal. The deal was traded by the Jazz with two second-round picks, an expired contract from Ingles and Hughes, alexander Walker (Blazers) and Juan Hernangomez (Spurs), the Blazers sending Walker for Ingles, Hughes and a second-round pick, and the Spurs with Satoransky and a second-round pick.
So this three-way big deal, who lost and who earned? Espn, a well-known Media in the United States, also wrote an analysis, and the result was that the Jazz team that actively promoted the three-way trade only received a C rating and was considered a loss; the Blazers received a B rating, which is not a loss or a profit; and the Spurs got an A rating and was considered to be the winner of the trade.
The Jazz have always wanted to use Ingles' expired contract to trade reinforcements, but it is difficult to say whether Walker in exchange is a "reinforcement". Because although Walker is the first round of the No. 17 show in 19 years, he is very disciplined, often will be random shots on the court, this season averaged 12.8 points per game, but only 37.5% shooting.
That's why the Blazers just got him and traded him off. The Jazz are a team that emphasizes discipline, and if Walker can be successfully transformed by the Jazz like Clarkson, it will naturally be a joy for everyone, but once Walker still goes his own way, the Jazz's deal will be difficult to strengthen.
As for Hernan Gomez, who is the head of the team, his contract next season is not guaranteed, and there is a high probability that he will be cut. With the deal, the Jazz could save $11 million in luxury taxes and create a deal exception of about $9.8 million. From the perspective of saving money, the deal is not bad, but from the perspective of reinforcement, the Jazz's deal is not good, and as a team in pursuit of results, it has not been able to substantially strengthen but pursues saving money, which may be the reason why the Jazz only got a C in the transaction score.
The Blazers got a B rating for the simple reason that they're currently collecting expiring contracts to get a huge salary margin in the offseason. Obviously, the Blazers have completed their goals this time, and their operations this time are indeed better than when they traded with the Clippers before.
It is easier to understand that the Spurs got a high rating of A, before they sent away Forbes, they got Hernan Gomez and a second-round pick, and now they send away Hernan Gomez, and get a second-round pick, which is equivalent to exchanging Forbes for two second-round picks, although it is a small deal, but it is definitely earned.
Satoransky can either keep it temporarily or use it in the offseason to free up space, and maybe even at the last minute, the Spurs can use Thaddeus Young and Satoransky's two expiring contracts to further operate. In short, in the case of earning two second-round picks, it does not affect the future of the team, and there are many options, and the operation of the Spurs management this time is indeed worthy of A's rating.
