Owen trade dust settled:
Irving goes to Dallas with Markieffe Morris.
The Brooklyn Nets got back Dinwiddie, Finney Smith — Electric Fans — and a whole bunch of draft picks.
The deal was done simply and was completed without waiting for the trade deadline. The lone ranger received it cheerfully, and the net was sent neatly.
Presumably, it also leaves room for subsequent operations of each other, especially the net.
Dallas Mavericks Perspective:
On paper techniques and tactics, getting Irving is really reliable.
Dallas leads the league in free-throw shooting ratio to three-point shooting this season, with 49 percent of shots being three-pointers; The rhythm is second to last in the league, with frontcourt rebounds and assists at the bottom of the league.
Slow pace and efficiency. Luca/Dinwiddie starts with the ball, the electric fans and Bullock are responsible for the 3D, and Wood, Powell and Klébes are responsible for the blocking.
Squeeze Luca's ball-carrying core ability - Luca alone scored top the team's second Dinwiddie and third Wood, and accounted for 40% of the team's assists.
In terms of ball-carrying attacks, Irving replaced Dinwiddie, which is really a big upgrade. Although there have been a lot of bad things in the past few years, Irving can always play individually as long as he plays.
This season, 21% of Dinwiddie's offense is ball-blocking, with 1.11 points per round; Irving's 23% of his offense is ball-blocking, with 1.05 points per round.
Dinwiddie's offense this season is single-handed, with 1.05 points per round, and Irving's 19 percent offense is single-handed, with 1.26 points.
Aside from the ball to divert the weak side, Irving is a rich version of Dinwiddie in other ways.
Of course, Irving has always singled out excellence, but he is not known for organizational control - but Dallas has Luca.
In other words, Irving's career has had ups and downs, and the only championship he has won is with LeBron: only technical tactics, he is very comfortable with his partner's natural ball-carrying nuclear commander.
Luca: Speaking of a natural ball-carrying nuclear commander...
So for Dallas, getting Irving on paper is good: upgrading Dinwiddie can also ease Luca's pain as a father and mother.
It's just a shame to lose the electric fan: he, a 3D player, has a perfect personality and chemistry, and he fits Luca perfectly.
Speaking of character and chemistry...
The day before yesterday, two media outlets suggested that Dallas wanted Irving, but Tim Cato said that the uniform team in Dallas was worried about Irving's "long-term fit with Luka Doncic given their drastically different off-court personas."
I didn't worry about the field, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about in terms of technique and tactics - I am worried about off the field.
Owen's personality may be a moth, we have heard and witnessed in the past few years; He turns 31 this spring and wants a 200 million big contract next, as we all know.
With a completely different personality, can Luca get along well with Irving? Is it late to see each other or to expose each other? I don't know.
But now that the deal is done, Luca seems to have only one way to get along with Irving: after all, if Irving can't stay in the summer, it means that Dallas watched Brunson go for nothing last year, and now he gave Dinwiddie and an electric fan for nothing, and finally got nothing.
From a technical and tactical point of view, Dallas chose Irving, which also chose an opportunity to challenge the first half of the West: Luca and Irving's alternating ball-holding attacks can be called the strongest combination in the league at present.
Count Dallas approximately: Irving + Luca + Josh Green + Klebe + Wood, and then Hardaway, Bullock, Powell to help? Of course, it's not impossible to take Hardaway and Green out and upgrade them, and this roster is one level stronger than last season's playoffs — on paper.
But from a locker room angle, Dallas gambled:
If the bet is won, the bet is won, after all, Irving's level of characters, Dallas and other idle can not get; If the bet is lost, the dressing room will blow up; At that time, it will not only be Dinwiddie and Irving, but even Luka Doncic...
Just, think about the good:
Dallas made such a big gamble, and the day before yesterday was already considering Irving and Luca's long-term relationship, it is impossible that they did not consult Luca.
In the end, the deal went through, at least, Luka didn't show strong resistance to Irving?
Dallas, including Luca, is happy to gamble.
Brooklyn Net Angle:
Dinwiddie is back. He and Coach Vaughan are old acquaintances, and when he played his best performance of his career before injury, Coach Vaughan was a net assistant and knew how to use him.
Electric fans joined O'Neill, and the net added another 3D player.
With the timing of Irving's sudden request for a trade, and with the movement in Irving's locker room over the years, the net can get back Dinwiddie and the electric fan, which is the excellent return that the team can get on paper; He also fished out a bunch of draft picks that would facilitate subsequent trades — for example, hurry up and ask Chicago for a price LaVine? Go ask Trent with the Raptors?
The reason why we have to hurry is because just making this deal is not enough.
The original structure of the net was to support the individual abilities of two superstars, plus a bunch of role players with their own roles.
In today's world, we all understand: a superstar + a bunch of role players, it is difficult to go far in the playoffs - Jokic and Luka in the playoffs last season are proof of this.
Originally, the biggest selling point of the network was the ability of the double superstar + the active unlimited change of defense in the front court of the long man team + the thickness of role players; But now that one of the superstars' ability has been downgraded, the team has become Durant + a group of good players, and the guard lacks a small breakthrough master, Mills and Seth are not destructive enough to hold the ball, and Dinwiddie cannot make up for Irving's role.
The team has excellent thickness and can be rotated in ten, but when it comes to crunch, what is their strongest five?
Durant + Dinwiddie + Claxton + Simmons/Seth/Harris + O'Neal/Electric Fan?
So it's best for the net to quickly increase the whip in these days, make up a little follow-up transactions, and exchange the change for a whole banknote:
Levine? VanVleet? Trent? I don't know.
After all, a team if the second ball-carrying attacker is Dinwiddie... Let's not say Jaylen of the Celtics, Holladay of the Bucks, Garland of the Cavaliers, Murray of the Eagles, LaVine of the Bulls, just look at it this way:
The Knicks secondary offense is Brunson.
And in the playoffs last season, in Dallas, Dinwiddie's offensive position was still behind Brunson...
So if there is no follow-up trade, no longer find a wrist, net out of Irving, although it is to make the locker room too peaceful, and have to return to Dinwiddie, the old man to make the fans happy, but it is also equivalent to changing a second-in-command to a third-in-command, shaping himself into such a team:
He has excellent thickness and tough temperament, but the playoffs can only rely on Durant.
Durant came here last summer, apparently not just to put on a good regular-season record — he's 34 and a half years old when the playoffs hit this year.
- "Hey, Kevin, let's go!" ”
