Finally, the NBA once again let us see what is the real crazy trade deadline, originally thought that all parties would only make some simple personnel transactions, smooth through this special period, did not expect to finally give birth to the most important personnel flow of the year: the Nets and the 76ers reached a deal, the Nets sent 1 regular season MVP, 3 scoring kings, 7 times selected for the best team superstar Harden and 4 times selected for the All-Star 37-year-old veteran Millsap, got the 76ers Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond as well as an unprotected 2022 first-round pick and a protected 2027 first-round pick
After the transaction was completed, it once again had a very important impact on the Eastern Conference pattern, and this season's playoffs in the East will form a crowd of champions, the defending champion Bucks, the super team Nets, the double star Shine 76ers, the rise of the Dark Horse Bulls, the Iron Blood Heat will attack the Eastern Championship together
Just after the trade deadline, the bookmaker released a new NBA championship odds for the first time, the top five: in the fifth place is the Philadelphia 76ers who have just completed the transaction, with odds of +675. This season, the 76ers core Embiid has played well, currently at the top of the league's scoring list, but because Simmons refuses to play, Embiid can only lead the team alone, and now after the transaction is completed, Harden + Embiid has formed what may be the most outstanding combination of the league today, coupled with the assistance of Maxi, Sable and T Harris, the final results of the 76ers this season are extremely exciting
In fourth place are defending champion Milwaukee Bucks with odds of +650. The Bucks sent away Di Ventzenzo before the trade deadline and got Ibaka in the four-way trade, continuing to strengthen their own interior line, from the lineup structure of the Bucks is undoubtedly the most reasonable, almost can not see the shortcomings, although the regular season they did not show enough dominance, but into the playoffs, no team is willing to meet them, the evolving Greek monster Antetokounmpo will be with Holliday, Middleton, to the defending title
In third place is the Phoenix Suns with odds of +500. Phoenix used the league's first record this season to prove that their finals last year were no accident, the team led by Paul, Booker and Ayton has reached a new height, becoming a championship favorite that the whole league cannot ignore, and the team has two tough players before the trade deadline, Craig and Aaron Holliday, successfully strengthening the weakest forward position, and this season's Sun is definitely more exciting than last season
In second place is the Golden State Warriors with +450 odds. With Klay's successful comeback this season, the fully formed Warriors are finally close to returning to the scene, just waiting for Wiseman's injury to recover, Curry, Thompson and Wiggins are the team's current three well-deserved offensive cores, Green is responsible for defense and tandem, plus bench bandits Porter Jr., Poole, Lee, Cuminga and other players, the Warriors have ushered in another best chance to win the championship since the end of the dynasty this season
At the top of the list is still the Brooklyn Nets, with odds of +400. Although the Nets have been worried about internal and external troubles this season, after the completion of the heavy transfer on the trade deadline, the team has once again been optimistic from the outside world, after sending Harden, the Nets' new lineup is Irving, Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, Durant and Aldridge, the bench has Mills, Drummond, Claxton, Thomas, waiting for Joe Harris to return from injury, the Nets will still remain excellent competitive, but at present, Irving is definitely the biggest X factor, If Irving still only plays away in the playoff series, the impact on the team as a whole will be huge, and it will not be comparable to the regular season
