With the arrival of the trade deadline, now the lineup framework of the teams has been basically frozen, the only thing that may change is the small repair of the buyout market, from the beginning of the new season to the present, the league has carried out a total of 20 transactions, in fact, has been doing trades are several teams, some for reconstruction, some for the playoffs, some for the championship, let's take a look at these 20 deals.
The Cavaliers are in the playoffs
On December 31, the Lakers fired the first shot in the trade, they sent Rondo in exchange for Denzel Valentine, the Cavaliers made this deal because Rubio was reimbursed for the season, they wanted to increase the depth of the backcourt, and the Lakers wanted to make room for Stanley Johnson, after which they cut Valentin. Since joining the Cavaliers, Rondo has averaged 6.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, much better than when he was with the Lakers, and he can really help this young team.
The Cavaliers didn't stop after completing the deal they used the season-reimbursed Rubio as a bargaining chip, plus 1 lottery zone protected first-round pick, two second-round picks in exchange for LeVert and a second-round pick, the Pacers have begun to plan to rebuild after completing the deal, Rubio's contract expires this summer, they got three draft picks, and the Cavaliers completed their reinforcement plan, and now the Cavaliers are in third place in the East, taking LeVert to ensure they can secure their playoff spot.
The Pacers began to rebuild
The Pacers did not stop after completing the deal, the team next completed a 3-for-4 deal with the Kings, they sent Sabonis, Lamb, Holliday and a second-round pick to get the Kings' Hield, Halliburton and TT, to complete the deal The Pacers not only got the cornerstone players like Halliburton, but also successfully avoided taxes, although the trade deadline did not send Turner, but I believe that they will inevitably use knives against Turner and Brogden in the offseason.
Harry Burton is a goal-and-passer, Hield is a long-established pitcher in the league, and the team has young talents like Duarte, and the Pacers want to rise again, they may not take too long, Harryburton in the Kings' lack of ball to limit the play, after Fox injured, he averaged 20+10+ three-point shooting rate of 40% + per game.
The Kings traded their talents for power for the playoffs
After sending Harry Burton away, the Kings have made a statement that they will not wait for the talent to grow, to seize the moment to impact the playoffs, to take an All-Star like Sabonis is far from enough, they have made a four-way deal with the Bucks and other teams, the Kings sent bagley to Di Vincenzo, Josh Jackson, Treles, the Pistons to get Bagley, the Clippers to get Hood and O'Gere, the Bucks to get Ibaka and 2 second-round picks and some cash, Josh Jackson is a very good talented striker, just haven't been getting many chances.
Clippers after this transaction to avoid tax 30 million, the Bucks got the right substitute inside line, but also vacated 3 lineup places, this is to operate in the buyout market, we all know that there will be a lot of players who are easy to use in the buyout market, and the price is cheap, in order to achieve the defense of the title, the Bucks this wave of operation full points, the Pistons want to bet that Bagley can still play out, as for the King's life and death, do not regret it, at least the paper strength looks stronger.
The Jazz Sun makes the final reserve for the crown
After the Jazz won the first place in the regular season league last season, they only had the championship left in their eyes, and their first trade was to send Mieoni and a second-round pick to the Thunder, which was done to free up a roster, and then the Jazz made a three-way trade with the Blazers and Spurs, sending the season-reimbursed Ingles to the Blazers, getting Alexander Walker and Hernangomes, as a reward, the Blazers got a second-round pick, and the Spurs got the Blazers' Satoransky and a Jazz second-round pick.
With Ingles unable to play, the Jazz have enhanced the thickness of the lineup inside and outside through a stroke of operation, and they have abandoned the veteran who played for the team for 8 years to rush to the championship. Today the Suns also made a deal with the Pacers, sending Out Jaylen Smith and 1 second-round pick in exchange for Craig, the current Pacers, as long as you have young players, draft picks I will change, in addition to the Suns also won the Wizards Aaron Holliday, the team's flanking strength is further improved, for that damn championship to do the last game!
Spurs, Clippers muffled and made a fortune
Before the Spurs made the deal with the Jazz, they made a three-way deal with the Celtics and the Nuggets, sending Forbes, who was not in the team's future plans, to the Nuggets, who got Hernangomez and a second-round pick, and the Nuggets sent Dozier and Polpol to the Green Army on injury contracts. After the deal was completed, the Spurs were trading Forbes for two second-round picks, which was pretty good.
But that's not all, today the Spurs completed another deal with the Celtics, they sent White to Richardson, Langford, a 22-year protected first-round pick, and a 28-year first-round swap, and then traded with the Raptors to send Thady Young, Eubanks and a second-round pick to Get Dragic and a first-round pick.
After this operation, the Spurs are equivalent to using White + Forbes + Thaddeus Young in exchange for 2 first-round picks and 1 second-round pick, and 9 first-round picks in the next 7 years. Muffled and rich!
The Lakers and Jerry West stink is the biggest failure, look at the Clippers these operations can directly seal the gods, they sent 18 million garbage contracts Bledsoe, Winslow, Keane Johnson and a future second round pick to get the Blazers Powell and Nurkic, after the Blazers completed the deal also determined the reconstruction, this deal is to let the Blazers reduce the pressure of the luxury tax, although the Clippers exceed the luxury tax a lot, but then the Ibaka deal also made them a lot easier.
Although George and Leonard will not be able to return this season, Powell, who has a multi-year contract, is quite profitable, just imagine if the double front line remains healthy, and now the Clippers are taking off. The Clippers have exchanged useless players such as Bledsoe and Ibaka for suitable immediate combat power, and have successfully reduced taxes, which is commendable.
Pioneer rebuild
After completing the Powell and Covington trades, the Blazers made the next operation they sent CJ McCollum, Nance Jr., Snell from the Pelicans to get Hart, Satoransky, Alexander Walker, as well as a first-round pick and 2 second-round picks, which led to a multi-faceted deal with the Spurs and Jazz, after which the Blazers completely determined to rebuild around Lillard, but also to correct Anfine Simmons, and the team has 60 million salary space this summer, with a chance to recruit big names.
Celtics, Wizards sew and patch up
Celtics are also very active in the trading market, the recent Green Army has won a wave of consecutive wins and finally returned to the top eight in the East, but the Celtics do not seem to be satisfied, after completing the tripartite deal with the Nuggets Spurs, they did not stop, sent dozil and Polpol to the Magic, and also took part of the cash and 1 second round pick, got a second round pick of the Magic, so that they are already below the luxury tax line, and then they discussed with the Spurs the White deal we just talked about, enhancing the firepower of the flanks, At the same time, they sent Schroeder and other chips from the Rockets back to Theis, who adapted to the team system.
The Wizards were basically out of the playoffs after Beal's season reimbursement, but they still seemed to want to storm the playoffs, sending Harrell to Ismail Smith and Vernon Kyrie and a second-round pick, and then sending Dinwiddie and Bertans from the Lone Rangers trade to Porzingis, and the former All-Star wanted him to help the Wizards.
76ers basketball stars swap
This is undoubtedly the most sensational deal on this year's trade deadline, both sides also have bitter words, Harden does not want to play in the Nets, Simmons also refused to play for the 76ers, such a deal seems to be the best result, the Nets sent Harden and Millsap in exchange for 2 first-round picks + Simmons + Seth Curry + Zhuang Shen, the 76ers got the coveted point guard, the Nets strengthened the team's lineup thickness, but whether Simmons will still pull the crotch in the playoffs is the biggest problem, Curry Jr. and Chuang Shen regular time is used well, The moment of fighting must be targeted, and the deal is now earned by the 76ers.
Other aspects of the transaction
The Hawks sent Reddish to the Knicks to get knox and a first-round pick, and the Heat traded Oak Parker to Reddy for a second-round pick.
The high-profile Lakers and Warriors have not traded, the Warriors can understand, their first goal this season is not the championship, more or the run-in system + training young players, fortunately they did a good job, while the league's second record should also maintain the core lineup, the Lakers are really not able to change, the coaching staff pressure result or failed to trade away Wei Shao, Tucker did not become the chip that other teams want, can only hope to gain in the buyout market.
Speaking of which, do you have anything to say about the closing date of this transaction? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
