Hello everyone! Let's talk about the NBA today and share a few NBA news for you: Philadelphia officially announced the signing! Exposed the Bulls 2-for-1 trade AD scheme, Walker refused to join the Lakers.
First of all, Philadelphia officially announced the signing! Today, Philadelphia officially announced that the team has reached a contract with interior player Cauley Stein, which is a 10-day contract. In the previous Harden deal, Philadelphia sent Embiid's substitute Drummond, for which the team needed to do a reinforcement to strengthen the interior. Before Cauley-Stein joined the team, the two main players for the Philadelphia bench center were Paul Reed and Millsap. Cowley Stein has played 18 games for the Lone Rangers this season, but he hasn't played since December and was cut by the Lone Rangers in January. Cauley-Stein, 28, was selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2015 Draft and has played for the Kings, Warriors and Mavericks. The media pointed out that Cauley-Stein's height and athletic ability will be very suitable for matching Harden. Cowley-S. averaged 8.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in his career and shot 54.4 percent from the field.
Secondly, the US media broke the news that the Bulls traded Davis 2 for 1, and the Bulls sent DeRozan and Patrick Williams to get Davis from the Lakers. The US media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
Today, an NBA reporter said a league executive said the Bulls should quote Davis in a 2-for-1 format this summer. The Bulls have a weak interior line, and if healthy Davis joins forces with LaVine, the team can be stronger. For the Bulls, Davis is a Chicagoan, and if he can play for his hometown team, it is also a good thing. At the Bulls, guard LaVine's shooting ability is so good that Davis doesn't have to play in the No. 5 position. If Davis went to play the No. 4 position, the risk of injury could be reduced.
For the Lakers, Davis' injury problem has always been unsolvable by the team. After bringing in Westbrook, Davis had to play as a center, but Davis' long-range shooting ability was poor, unable to open up space for Westbrook's offense. With the deal, the Lakers brought in quality interior player Patrick Williams to fill the void that Davis left. At the same time, the Lakers also introduced deRozan, a superstar who performed very well this year. DeRozan's mid-range shot is very solid, and he is very willing to serve the Lakers, but the Lakers did not actively pursue him last summer.
In the end, Walker declined to join the Lakers. According to media reports, the Lakers hope that Walker will join the Lakers after the Knicks buyout. However, Walker declined the Lakers' invitation, noting that Walker was not interested. Earlier, the Knicks announced that Walker would not play for the rest of the season, and the team may seek to trade Walker this summer. Many media have questioned the Knicks' approach, arguing that the Knicks should send Walker away before the trade deadline, rather than preventing him from playing. Perhaps, Walker is still willing to play for the Knicks, so he did not choose to buy out the team. The Lakers are really pitiful, and pursuing players in the buyout market has been rejected. Previously, Dragic, Schroeder and T-Thompson did not choose to join the Lakers.
