At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 11, the NBA trading deadline, before that, many trades occurred, but the most discussed by fans was this three-to-three trade.
1. The Trail Blazers trade McCollum to the Pelicans
On February 9, Beijing time, the Blazers and Pelicans fired the first shots of the deal, the Blazers will send CJ, Larry Nance Jr. and Snell, from the Pelicans to Hart, Alexander Walker, Satoransky, Didi Luzada, 2022 first-round picks (protected), two future second-round picks.
This season's Blazers and Pelicans can be said to be the brothers and sisters of the West, one ranked tenth in the West, one ranked eleventh in the West, the Pelicans' Zion has not been able to play this season because of injuries, resulting in the Pelicans relying only on Ingram alone to support, and now ranked tenth in the West, whether it can enter the playoffs is still unknown.
The Blazers are even more tragic, losing to the Nuggets last season, originally thought that the Blazers could rise again, but the injury of McCollum in the new season, and then the decline in Lillard's state, resulting in the Blazers once had no hope of entering the playoffs, and finally Lillard chose surgery, and the Blazers management finally chose to trade McCollum, giving up the season.
The deal was for both teams to take what they needed, with the Blazers getting draft picks and the Pelicans getting outside players like McCollum.
2. Lone Ranger trades Porzingis
This season's Lone Ranger at the beginning of the season, also went very difficult, Doncic was in a slump at the beginning of the season, and even lost the All-Star starting position, and Boshin has been plagued by injuries, and before the trade deadline, according to the famous Shams, sources revealed that the Wizards traded Dinwiddie to the Lone Ranger in exchange for Porzingis.
According to a follow-up report by Tim MacMahon, sources revealed that the Lone Ranger also got Bertans in the deal.
According to Woj, the Lone Ranger also sent a future second round signing to the Wizards.
In the past season, Doncic and the Lone Ranger signed a maximum salary, and Boshin's performance in last season's playoff game against the Clippers was really disappointing, and it was only a matter of time before the Lone Ranger traded him, and even former NBA player Legler later spoke out to taunt Porzingis, saying: "He's a unicorn because you can barely see him." ”
3. The Nets trade Harden and the 76ers each take what they need
Before the trade deadline, the Nets and the 76ers' deal with Harden was the most concerned by fans, and in the end, the Nets sent Harden out, receiving Bency, Seth Curry, and an unprotected 2022 first-round pick and a protected 2027 first-round pick.
According to a follow-up report by Woj, the Nets also sent Millsap in this transaction to get Zhuang Shen.
It's a win-win deal for the Nets and the 76ers.
Although the Nets lost Harden, they got Simmons, Chuang Shen and Little Curry, not only to strengthen the projection, but also to have the rebounding monster of Chuang Shen on the inside line, which can also make up for the lack of internal line, and more importantly, win two first rounds.
Of course, the 76ers are not at a loss, and getting Harden while solving simmons' big problem is already a very big victory.
These three-game trades are the focus of fan discussion, and as for the Lakers trade that fans are looking forward to, it is indeed a lonely wait.
After the deal stopped, Lakers reporter Bill Oram reported that he was told that lakers management had made many efforts before the deadline but could not reach any deal.
