The Blazers made several big deals on the trade market, with two-time player McCollum, main Player Powell and Covington all leaving Pole, and the team's top brass put their last hopes on Lillard. Not only that, overnight, the Blazers signed two more contracts. Yubanks left San Antonio in a trade between the Spurs and raptors, and he averaged 4.7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist per game this season, a good role player, but the Raptors didn't need him and was subsequently cut. However, the Blazers gave him a chance to return to the game, signing him on a short 10-day contract. In addition, the Blazers cut Dennis Smith, who averaged 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season, the data is very comprehensive, fans wonder why the Blazers would rather have Ubanks than Dennis with better data, and can only guess that he is a less obedient player.
In addition to Ubanks, the Blazers also converted Watford's two-way contract into a formal contract for 4 years and 5.8 million, it is worth mentioning that the last two seasons of the contract is not guaranteed, as long as the good performance, he can get the corresponding treatment. In any case, for a player with a two-way contract, to get a standard formal contract, it has taken an important step, and his career is also a new level, of course, this is also the affirmation of his performance this season. This season, Walter can average 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per 12 minutes per game, and the efficiency is acceptable. Taking a step back, after the Blazers made a big change in the team, they also needed someone to play the rotation, otherwise they would become the next Celtics. They are 2 places away from the number of people required by the league.
There is a saying that the Blazers traded McCollum is still a surprise to most people, not only is he stable, he can average 20+ statistics per game for 7 consecutive seasons, few players in the league can achieve such achievements, and he and Lillard are like two brothers, after the loss of the two comfort each other, after the win the two embraced and celebrated. What's more, the two have been together for 9 seasons. In fact, Lillard's heart is still unwilling, but the NBA is a business league after all, and many big-name stars will face transactions. To show his brotherhood with McClem, Lillard replaced his Twitter account avatar with a cartoon photo of him and McCollum. McClem is also replying directly: a lifelong good friend. Fans have said that Lillard's move deserves praise, and he is not a duplicitous guy. For Lillard, cheering up and winning the championship for the Blazers is the best reward for McClem, and it is not worth his departure from Polet. To be sure, the Blazers must have big moves in the offseason, and who do you think Lillard's next partner will be?
