After the arrival of the trade deadline, now that the teams have completed the last wave of strong reinforcements, the remaining buyout market can only be small repairs and there will be no big fish, and it will not have much impact on the championship or the league structure, so the strength of each team is basically determined after the trade deadline, at this point in time, we may be able to review the most successful trades among the teams from the offseason to the present.
Through rummaging, I think these five deals are the most successful, of which the Bulls have two exclusive teams, and the Blazers and Heat are also on the list, how many teams have been selected? Let's take a look.
The Heat 2 for 1, originally thought it was a wrongful head, but the result soared
Riley, who likes to collect stars in the offseason, made a key deal, they sent Dragic and Achuva, one is a veteran point guard who helped the Heat reach the Finals, the other is a very talented young interior line, with the first sign and then exchange for the 35-year-old veteran Lowry, but also gave a 3-year 85 million contract, although last season's Lowry still had an average of 17+5+7 per game, many fans thought that the Heat lost, after all, Lowry is 35 years old.
But many fans seem to underestimate an important problem - the traditional point guard is very value-preserving, like the Suns' Paul, and Lowry is the same, after Lowry joined the Heat this season, he used his organizational skills and control ability to help the Heat very well, averaging 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.2 steals this season, shooting 42.5% from the field and 35.2% from three-point range, although the efficiency is not very high, but in his tandem season, the Heat have scored in double figures so far.
Some players are not represented by the data, especially the point guards like Lowry and Paul, and the record is to better illustrate their role, and now the Heat are in the first place in the East with a record of 38 wins and 21 losses, which is still the record of Butler and Adebayo missing many games at the beginning of the season, Lowry's play style is very in line with the Heat's system, and this season's Heat is expected to return to the Finals with his help.
The Bulls 5 for 1, regarded by the Knicks as a league outcast, ended up playing the contemporary Jordan
The most active team in the offseason I think is the Chicago Bulls, they made three signings, first won the Lakers 3D Caruso, then two first signs and then exchanges, the first first first sign and then 5 for 1 to get DeRozan, they used Thaddes Young, Aminu and 2 second-round signings to get the Spurs' core DeRozan, and then sent a 3-year 85 million contract extension, this price is not expensive, but the chips are really a lot.
In recent media reports, the Knicks thought that DeRozan did not fit this era in the offseason, so they did not chase DeRozan, but who ever thought that as the league advocated outside defense to reduce the number of fouls, DeRozan, a player who can ignore the offensive environment, is popular, this season's DeRozan can average 28.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, shooting rate as high as 51.7%, in terms of the output and efficiency of shooting, this season Azan is the king of mid-range.
And he is also the king of the final quarter, two consecutive kills are to let people know his strength, in the Spurs because of the main team basketball, Azan did not get too many opportunities, and came to Donovan, the manager who pays attention to the use of stars, Azan completely released himself, this season was selected as an All-Star starter, but also a strong contender for MVP, under his leadership the Bulls are now in second place in the East with 38 wins and 21 losses, and the record is equal to that of the first Heat.
Bulls 3 for 1, first signed and then replaced to win the top 3D backcourt
In the current small-ball era, many point guards have transformed into 3D backcourts because of their limited offensive ability to hold the ball, and the 17-year-old bauer is like this, although Ball's data in the past few years is not prominent, but no one has questioned his talent and ability, his defense, organization and ball dealer are too good, and in the last season of playing for the Pelicans, Ball wants a top salary, but the team can't give it at all in the case of Zion and Ingram, and finally Ball chose to leave.
The Bulls also seized the opportunity to get him in a first-and-then-trade way, they sent the Pelicans to Satoransky, Temple and a second-round pick to get the ball brother, and sent a 4-year 85 million contract, the arrival of the ball brother also made the bulls' weak defense have a qualitative improvement, this season the ball brother can average 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.21 assists 1.8 steals 0.9 blocks, three-point shooting rate of 42.3%, can average 3.1 three-pointers per game.
That is, the ball is not enough, otherwise the ball brother's score and assists will be higher, but even so it is good enough, his defense is the first gate of the Bulls' outside line, and the ball brother can also change multiple positions, he can go from the top of the first position to the 4th position, almost do not eat the ball but can find the right teammates to make reasonable offensive arrangements when there is the ball, the Bulls have him and also let the team strength further become the East strong.
The Pacers traded 3 for 4, sending away the cornerstone of the All-Star usher
The deal was done at the trade deadline, the Pacers had a number of good top blue-collar workers, but they could not play the record, so they did not break, they chose to rebuild, and the Kings made a deal, sent the team's core Sabonis, plus Holliday and Lamb and a second-round pick, from the Kings traded hield, Halliburton and TT, the deal The Kings thought they could rise, but for now the effect is very general.
The Pacers were full of praise after completing the trade, many stars expressed their disbelief that the Kings would send away Halliburton, and Halliburton can definitely be used as a cornerstone to cultivate, after the trade came to the Pacers, Halliburton averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 11 assists and 2.3 steals per game, shooting 48% from the field and 45% from three-point range. Averaging 3.5 three-pointers per game is very good, while this season he averaged just 14.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game for the Kings, shooting 45 percent from the field and 41 percent from three-point range.
In the case that Sam can not lead the team to continue to move forward, the Pacers rebuild is wise, Halliburton has the ability to become a big core of the ball, the Pacers can build a team around him, just been corrected in the second year of his career to achieve an average of 20+11 per game performance, and the offense is still very stable, the playing style is also extremely mature, such a player lower limit is generally not low, better than Fox, Halliburton, and the Pacers also got a top scorer like Hield.
The Trail Blazers have corrected several trades to correct the new core, and the operating space in the offseason is more flexible
When Lillard was injured this season and the team was slow to see hope, the Blazers finally made a determination to rebuild, they did not complete the operation of the star reinforcements in the offseason, nor did they at the trade deadline, but they developed a suitable core, he is Anfine Simmons, in order to help Anfine Simmons, the Blazers first made a deal with the Clippers, the Clippers sent Winslow, Bledsoe, Johnson and a second-round pick to Get Powell and Covington.
The two Blazers' top blue-collar workers were sent away in exchange for these players, they all thought that the Blazers had lost, but the Blazers did this to avoid taxes and save salary space, after all, Powell still has a long-term contract, and more importantly, Simmons naturally became the core of the team, which is not over, and then the Blazers made another loss-making deal, they sent CJ McCollum, Nance Jr. and Snell in exchange for Hart, Satoransky, Alexander Walker and 2 second-round signings and 1 first-round pick.
After sending off CJ, Simmons's obstacles were completely removed, and the team also got Hart to make up for the problem on the defensive end, Hart joined the team to win 3 consecutive games, after a series of operations, the Blazers will have 60 million salary space this summer, they can renew Anfine Simmons in advance while also trying to get a suitable star to partner Lillard, two seemingly loss-making deals are actually really earned.
Speaking of which, do you have anything to say about the operation of the teams this year? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
