On February 11, Beijing time, before the transaction deadline, the alliance reached a total of 10 blockbuster transactions.
The first: The Nets sent Harden and Millsap to get Simmons, Curry Jr., Chuang Shen and two first-round picks from Philadelphia.
The deal allowed Harden and Embiid to join forces smoothly, and Simmons formed the new Big Three of the Nets with Durant and Irving. The Nets general manager said it would be difficult to send Harden away, but the team's lineup depth is stronger. Curry Jr. improved the Nets' outside shooting ability, and Zhuang Shen enhanced the Nets' inner strength. For Harden, his Nets career was short, and the combination of Irving, Harden and Durant has only played in 16 games.
The second: a four-way deal, bagley was traded to the Pistons, Ibaka teamed up with Alphabet Brother, the Kings got 3 players including Di Vincenzo, and the Clippers got Hood and Ojele.
Bagley never played to his talent in the Kings, and after he went to the Pistons, the potential could be tapped. For the Bucks, Di Vincenzo is good to use, but the team can't keep him this summer, so the Bucks traded to Ibaka to improve their internal strength. The Kings acquired potential guard Di Vincenzo to improve their backcourt strength. The Clippers' main purpose in making the deal was to reduce the payment of luxury taxes, which cost the Clippers $30 million less in luxury taxes.
Third: The Raptors sent Dragic away and traded for Thaddeus Young. The Raptors' goal this season is still to impact the playoffs, so they sent out a first-round draft pick, trading from the Spurs to Thaddeus Young. ESPN famously broke the news that after the deal was reached, Dragic will soon reach a buyout with the Spurs. At present, there are a number of championship-winning teams interested in signing Dragic.
Fourth: The Magic deal got Dozil and Pol-Pol, with the Green Army sending away two players who were reimbursed for the season and reducing the payment of the team's luxury tax.
Fifth: The Greens sent Richardson, Langford and a first-round pick to get White from the Spurs trade. For the Spurs, there are already a lot of team guards, and the deal gave them a first round. The Main Purpose of the Green Army is to improve the backcourt, as the team does not yet have a real organizational point guard.
Sixth: The Suns sent away Jaylen Smith and a second-round pick to get Craig from the Pacers. Last season, Craig briefly played for the Suns, but he was average at the time. This season, the Suns have always wanted to strengthen the front line, after they had been interested in trading Thaddeus Young, but they had no better chips to quote Yang. In the end, Suns general manager James Jones chose to trade Craig.
Seventh to ninth: The Wizards made three deals, and after Bill was injured, the Wizards began demolishing their homes. In one trade, the Wizards sent Aaron Holliday to the Suns; in one trade, the Wizards sent Dinwiddie and Bertáns to the Lone Rangers for Boshin; in one trade, the Wizards sent Harrell to the Hornets. Beal has already been reimbursed for the season this season, so the Wizards decided to trade the team's veterans and reduce the payment of luxury taxes. A player like Kuzma, who has performed well, the Wizards didn't send him away. The Hornets have been interested in Harrell for a long time, and hope that when he comes to the Hornets, he will not cause trouble for Boss Jordan.
Tenth: The Rockets sent Tess away, exchanging chips such as Schroeder from the Green Army. For the Green Army, Schroeder's playing style was not suitable for the team, so the team chose to trade it to strengthen the interior. Schroeder joined the Rockets as a rotten team and didn't get much playing time. You know, the Rockets formed a team with Jaylen Green and Porter Jr. as the core. In this way, Schroeder will have a hard time getting a maximum salary contract in the future.
The Lakers have no grain: Before the trade deadline, the Lakers had pursued players such as Reddish, Boucher and Schroeder, but the Lakers' offer could not satisfy other teams. Overall, the Lakers don't have too good chips in their hands, and they don't have that kind of better contract, which makes the deal difficult to close.
