It was revealed that the Sichuan men's basketball team signed Jordan Hill and former Lakers forward replaced Haddadi
The third phase of the CBA regular season is about to begin, and each team is busy implementing its home stadium and continuing to complete its own roster reinforcement. According to sources, former Rockets and Lakers forward Jordan Hill is about to join the Sichuan men's basketball team, as a former jumping man, Jordan Hill has left a profound performance on the Rockets and Lakers, which can bring good immediate combat power to the Sichuan men's basketball team.
Jordan Hill played in 409 NBA games, averaging 7.9 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 49.7 percent from the field. After the Sichuan men's basketball team's inner pillar Haddadi suffered an Achilles tendon injury, the Sichuan men's basketball team urgently needed to supplement the strong support of the inside, and the former "sharp brother" Jordan Hill's dedicated attitude has always been liked by fans, and it can definitely bring internal support to the Sichuan men's basketball team.
Jordan Hill was born in 1987, is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 106kg, has a good bounce ability, and can play in both the power forward and center positions on the field. Jordan Hill was once highly expected by the Rockets, and in the 2009 NBA Draft, Jordan Hill was selected by the Knicks with the 8th pick to enter the NBA league, and then played for many NBA teams such as the Rockets, Lakers, Pacers and Timberwolves. After being cut by the Timberwolves in 2017, Jordan Hill gradually faded from the fans' field of vision until he joined the CBA league.
It was revealed that the Jazz signed Chris Dunn to represent the Trail Blazers last season
According to Shams, a well-known NBA reporter, in a social media message, the Utah Jazz will sign a 10-day short contract with Chris Dunn, who last appeared in the NBA against the New Orleans Pelicans on April 8, 2022, and this season Dunn has not signed a regular contract and has been playing in the Development League.
Chris Dunn played for the Development League affiliate of the Washington Wizards this season, averaging 29.5 minutes per game, 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.6 steals. Chris Dunn played 14 games for the Trail Blazers last season, averaging 24.0 minutes per game, with 7.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals, but shot just 9.1 percent from three-point range.
Chris Dunn as a guard has a very breakout speed and bounce, the first step is very difficult to be defended, but poor projection is also to make himself unable to stand in the league, career three-point shooting rate is only 29.9%, small ball era as a guard without projection but can not stand in the league, breakthrough and organization is not very strong, except for the defensive end is praiseworthy.
In the first two seasons of the Chicago Bulls, Dunn actually performed reasonably well, but then his form declined seriously for various reasons, and finally the 2020-2021 season was also cut by the Atlanta Hawks in trade to the Boston Celtics. Chris Dunn was once expected to be the 5th pick in the first round of 2016, and his first year in his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves exposed all his shortcomings.
It was revealed that the Lakers intend to sign Barton to strengthen the team's backcourt rotation
Just yesterday, the Wizards officially announced that the team had bought out the contract of player Will Barton, making him a full free agent. Subsequently, according to US media reports, the Lakers management intends to sign Will Barton to strengthen the team's backcourt rotation.
According to reports, the Lakers management sent Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn three guard players through the trade before the previous trade deadline, among the players introduced, only Dangelo Russell's guard player, the rest of the players Mohammed Bamba is the center, Malik Beasley is the guard swingman, Hachimura Takashi plays the forward position, Jared Vanderbilt is also in the forward position, and there are some vacancies in the team's backcourt rotation. The Lakers want to sign Will Barton to complement the team's backcourt roster.
So far this season, Will Barton has played in 40 games for the Wizards, averaging 19.6 minutes per game, 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks, shooting 38.7% from the field, 38% from three-point range, 1.3 three-pointers per game and 77.8% from the free-throw line.
The Lakers currently rotate in the backcourt of Dangelo Russell, Dennis Schroder and Austin Reeves, Malik Beasley can also play the shooting guard position, and Barton will become a backup backcourt rotation player for the Lakers if he joins.
Durant recruits Anthony to join the Suns
According to the US media "NBA Analysis Network", Suns forward Kevin Durant openly recruited 38-year-old veteran Cameron Anthony, who became a free agent this season, during the All-Star weekend.
Since Durant was traded to the Suns on February 8, he has been recruiting Cameron Anthony, a six-time All-NBA selection. At present, the 38-year-old Anthony is still a free agent, playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis with the Lakers last season, and no team in the league is willing to offer the veteran a contract after the season, and Anthony has gradually faded out of the NBA.
Anthony has been a viable offensive option since his prime, averaging 14.3 points and shooting 42 percent from the field since coming off the bench in 2017. The only concern for all teams in the league is that the old forward becomes a burden on the defensive end. Although Anthony's status is not what he once was, and many teams have dropped the veteran, Durant is convinced that the former NBA scoring champion can still provide value to the team.
"I think he still has the talent to play in this league," Durant said when asked about recruiting Anthony over the NBA All-Star weekend.
If the Suns act and get Anthony, they will get much-needed depth and veteran leadership as they lose key players to the championship like Cameron Johnson, Mikal Bridges and Jay Crowder through the Durant trade. In an interview with the New York Daily News, Paul said Melon is one of the best players in basketball history.
Pelicans 3-for-1 offer Warriors guard Jordan Poole
At the beginning of the season, the Pelicans showed strong competitiveness, and star Zion led the team to an excellent record, once reaching the top spot in the West. Unfortunately, the Fat Tigers were hit by another injury, which directly caused the Pelicans Zhen Ji to plummet, and now ranks seventh in the West with 30-29. In order to change the current decline, Pelicans management is also looking for trade reinforcements.
According to the US media "NBA Analysis Network", the Pelicans have a clear goal to chase, they are very interested in Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole, and want to get the promising star through a trade. It is reported that the Pelicans have officially applied for an offer to the Golden State Warriors Achu, and the specific offer plan is: the Golden State Warriors get Jackson Hayes, Dyson Daniels, 2024 first-round pick (Los Angeles, NOP); The New Orleans Pelicans get guard Jordan Poole.
So far, the Pelicans don't look like a team with a chance to win an NBA championship this season. If possible, adding a shot creator like Poole to the team may be the best solution. The deal could give the Pelicans the NBA's dominant offense. If Zion Williamson can stay healthy, his strength cannot be underestimated.
So far this season, Poole has played in 58 games for the Warriors, with 100% attendance, averaging 20.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 44% from the field and 34% from three-point range, which is the team's third scoring point, and his personal ability is undoubted.
