The trade deadline is over, and many teams have completed reinforcements and got their favorite players, and the highlight of this should be that the Nets trade Harden to Philadelphia and get Ben Simmons! However, in addition to these very heavyweight deals, there are also some that look inconspicuous, but can bring great help to the team! And when it comes to such a deal, two teams have to be mentioned on the closing date of this deal, the Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks!
The Bucks sent away Di Vincenzo, Hood and Ojele in a previous four-way deal, got future second-round picks from veteran Ibaka and two Pistons, and some cash! The deal is still obvious for the Bucks' improvement, Brooke Lopez has not been able to play this season, and the team does have some personnel deficiencies on the inside! Ibaka's arrival will be able to help the team a lot in terms of game experience, and his interior combination with Portis will give the Bucks a lot of space and will be very tough!
The Suns side made two deals, with Jaylen Smith and a second-round pick, the deal got the Pacers' Craig, and then got Aaron Holliday! These two deals are actually good reinforcements for the team, and perhaps Holliday will not get too many opportunities as a backup force for the team! But Craig's addition has strengthened the team's forward defensive intensity and three-point shooting ability on the outside, last season Craig was an important rotation of the team, after joining the Pacers in the offseason, he is now back in the team, he is still very familiar with the Suns' tactical system, no need to run in at all!
This season's Bucks are currently in second place in the East, and the Suns are ranked first in the league without suspense, these two teams are strong enough, but they are still very targeted reinforcement, although the trade does not have any star players, but it can bring great help to the team, so that the "muffled big money" trade will make their overall strength pull apart from other teams again, can these two teams still successfully meet the Finals this season? Let's wait and see!
