The NBA trade deadline has passed for a while, in the case of the championship teams want to strengthen, rebuild the team wants to send away the core in exchange for resources, it can be said that the annual trade deadline is very sensational, almost every season 50 players will be involved in the trade deadline, and many of these players will be star level, this season after these stars join the new owners, how are they now? Today we will take a look, among which Harden and CJ are too moist, and Sabonis is the most depressed.
Harden
That year, the Nets sent a large number of young players and first-round picks for the Big Three to get Harden, including LeVert, Jarrett Allen, Prince, and 3 first-round picks and 4 first-round swaps, it can be said that the Nets squandered the future to win Harden, but did not expect that after Harden joined the Nets, last season because of Durant and Irving's injuries, coupled with Irving's part-time play this season, Harden was completely disheartened, and finally Harden chose to force the palace to leave the team.
And they played only 16 games in two seasons, and because of Harden's pressure, the Nets also had to throw him off early on the trade deadline, so there was a deal with the 76ers, the 76ers sent Out sescury, Johnson and Simmons, and two first-round picks got Harden and Millsap.
No way, in the case of their own side occupying the passive, the Nets can take down Simmons is already very good. And after the 76ers got Harden, they are completely taken off, Harden hamstring injury is also fine, after having absolute ball rights, and now played the style of the top ball holding big core, after joining the 76ers, he can average 22.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game, although today's fiasco to the old club Nets, but the team has been good since joining the team 1 win and 5 losses.
In Philadelphia, here has a healthier star Embiid, Harden and Embiid one inside and one outside of each other do not need to sacrifice their ball and tactical status, because of the high quality of Embiid and the attractiveness of the offensive end, Harden played the peak of the singles level, each round of singles he can score 1.3 points, looking at the whole league is also the existence of the top three, what DeRozan, old Zhan, can not compare to Harden's singles efficiency, it can be said that the 76ers are really satisfied with Harden, but the key battle is too wilted, Will it hinder the team's rush to the championship?
CJ became the big boss of the team
What is the biggest fear of a rebuilding team? It is the loss of talent and loss of patience, the Pelicans sent away the thick eyebrow brother from the previous transaction, got the Lakers three less and multiple first-round picks, and at the same time they also won the champion Zion, they are highly anticipated, the result is because of their poor operation, the ball brother applied to leave the team, although Ingram cashed in on the talent into the All-Star, but Zion, who is comparable to James's talent, is plagued by perennial injuries.
In the end, the Pelicans couldn't stand it, and now they've put Zion on the shelves, and in order to rise they also completed a deal with the Blazers about CJ McCollum at the trade deadline, the Blazers sent CJ away to help Anfine Simmons and let him partner Lillard, and the Pelicans won CJ to let him assist Ingram in trying to make the Pelicans play a piece of their own world, only to end up playing CJ and now become the boss of the Pelicans.
Since joining the Pelicans, CJ has averaged 27.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 52.7% shooting, 40% three-point shooting, and you may think that CJ is so efficient because of the small number of games played, but in fact he has played 12 games with the Pelicans, which is his normal level, CJ has a very good singles ability, and each singles is not as scary as Harden. But he was also able to score 1.04 points to rank fourth in the league.
In the Blazers have been sacrificing the ball, CJ did not play the performance he deserved, he sacrificed too much for Lillard, but the Blazers felt that the CJ level that had never been in the All-Star was here, so they straightened up Anfine Simmons, to be honest, Anfine Simmons did not have the ball after Lillard returned, maybe not as good as CJ, and his defense is limited, the Blazers' rebuild is not successful, but this is a good thing for CJ, he is now the leader of the Pelicans, It is very comfortable to have unlimited firing rights.
Sam became a tool man
From the beginning of the 00s to the present, I have not seen such a bad team as the Kings' ability to operate, Webb and Bibby after the period they have been sinking, into the 10s has never risen, the main reason is that they will not choose the general manager, in 18 years the team general manager Divac deliberately did not choose Doncic to take the bagley this parallel goods, but also vigorously support walton as the team coach, the result is that the Kings are getting worse and worse, the boss in a huff to cut Divac, replaced McNair as the general manager.
As a result, who would have thought that McNair's operational ability and Divatz were not much different, Wharton left to help Gentry, he is also a manager who will only attack and will not defend, the effect is really not big. And in order to correct Fox as the core of the team, they sent away Halliburton and Hield, and many league executives expressed surprise after Halliburton was traded, because they did not expect Harryburton to be traded.
From here, it can also be seen that the general manager's ability to operate, in order to help Fox, they got Sabonis from the Pacers trade, an All-Star, the paper strength looks like the King is stronger, after all, Sa as an interior player can do attack and defense, the King can completely play around him to play the offensive system, but the King is biased, the team boss can only be Fox, Sam came to this to reduce the offense, increase the organization and rebounds.
What does this mean? Sam has now become a tool man, if it is to go to a championship team, Little Sado can understand to do some dirty work and play assist, the key is to let him play auxiliary to a player of Fox's level, can he be willing? Fox has scored high scores in almost every game, but since Xiao Sa arrived, the team has won a total of 4 wins and 8 losses, which is similar to the winning rate before the trade, and Xiao Sa is estimated to have spent enough time here, but what can you do? There is still a two-year contract, or will it be forced to force the palace in the offseason? There is no good way out here, too much to hold back!
Porzingis
Since Rose, I have rarely seen players who can't find their form after a major injury, like Hayward, George, who experienced a major injury and finally successfully recovered, although he did not reach the peak level, but also played an All-Star performance, and Porzingis, but not so lucky, 22 years old into the All-Star unicorn, after experiencing a major injury, his athletic ability is not good, the speed of movement is not as good as before, and now Porzingis can only do space turret.
Although in the past two seasons in the Lone Rangers, Porzingis can contribute an average of 20+ data per game, but there is no interior killing ability, coupled with the playoffs in the face of high-intensity defense when the performance is extremely crotchy, and finally Porzingis was abandoned by the Lone Rangers, Cuban thought of cultivating him as the successor of the Nozo kings, the result is really unable to cultivate, and finally they and the Wizards traded Porzingis to Washington, even if it is to win a garbage contract like Bertans.
From here, it is more possible to see the value of Porzingis now, but in the two games after joining the Wizards, Porzingis performed well, averaging 22 points, 3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 23.5 minutes per game, shooting 57.7% from the field and 55.6% from three-point range.
The Wizards have always had the idea of playing a multi-giant, they traded Porzingis is also thinking of picking up leaks, and now Bill is injured, just the opportunity to test Porzingis, after all, Kuzma has also played a great performance this season, and the next period of time is estimated to be a contest between Porzingis and Kuzma, to see who will eventually become the second boss around Bill, personally I think Kuzma should be able to win.
Speaking of which, what do you want to say about these four players? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
