The Clippers got their wish, and the Green Army was perfectly reinforced! The three-party deal was officially concluded, giving birth to four winners
The NBA enters a long offseason, and teams are scrambling to find the right players to strengthen their teams in the period leading up to the opening of free agency. The Suns previously sent Paul and Shamet in exchange for Bill, continuing to group the multi-giant model to win the championship, the new president of the Wizards, Arsene Wenger, is not the same as the previous Shepard, Bill can be sold, Porzingis can of course also sell, Kuzma can also let go, next season is to swing and rebuild and go! The Charania report confirmed that the Clippers + Celtics + Wizards reached a three-way deal, and the specific transaction plan is as follows: Celtics get Porzingis, Clippers get Brogdon, Wizards get Morris Jr. + Clippers No. 30 first-round pick + Kofi + Gallinari. In this deal, the three parties will definitely not suffer, but four winners have been born.
The Celts become a true galactic battleship in the East!
Previously, the Celtics reporter revealed that the team owner will not limit the team's roster reinforcement due to economic factors, and the team also intends to give Jaylen Brown a 5-year $295 million super top salary. The Celtics stopped in the East this year, and were finally completed by the Heat, to put it bluntly, in addition to the poor restriction of Butler, the disadvantage on the inside is very obvious, Horford can squeeze Embiid out of the basket, but is in a clear downside against Adebayo, after all, he is 37 years old. The arrival of Porzingis perfectly solved the Celtics' interior shortcomings, in the past season, Porzingis averaged 23 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, two shooting rate of 49.8% + 38.5%, only two players in NBA history can average at least 1.5 three-point + 1.5 blocks per game, one is Porzingis, the other is Jalen Jackson.
The arrival of Porzingis means that Gwee will leave the Celtics, which is also expected, after all, Gwei is difficult to get the approval of Mazura. In addition, the Celtics' backcourt is crowded, even if Brogton is sent away, White, Smart and Jaylen Brown can make cameos, but the Celtics' height advantage is more obvious. With Porzingis + Lowe + Horford, Tatum will have less defensive pressure and they will have more lineup arrangements to play small lineups. It is reported that Porzingis is eligible to complete a two-year, $77 million contract extension with Celtic in July.
The Clippers got their wish, and the roster upgrade was successful
Since coming to the Clippers since the youngster, the Clippers have been the favorite to win the championship every year, but every year they have returned home, and obviously, more important than the strength is the health of the players. In fact, before Wei Shao came to the team, the Clippers have been lacking a real point guard role, and the arrival of Wei Shao this season does share some of the organizational pressure, but relying only on an elderly Wei Shao is still a little short, so the Clippers have always wanted to get Paul. And now, the Clippers also just paid Morris Jr. + a first-round final pick + Coffey, but got the best sixth man Brogton, Brogton averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in the past season, shooting 48.4% + 44.4% from the field, throwing off the burden of Morris Jr., and getting Brogton with a final pick, there is no better choice. Even in terms of consistency and on-field value, Brogton is greater than the aging Paul.
The Wizards are also winners
Because of the embarrassing operation of former president Shepherd (giving Beal the veto power of the trade), the Wizards did not have any qualifications to negotiate with the next family in the process of sending Beal away, and was finally successfully picked up by the Suns. And the new Wenger actually kicked all the burden and the ball away. Beal couldn't get a first-round pick when he left, and the Wizards did, but at least completely threw off the big burden of super top salary. And Porzingis has a final year contract with a player option, and can change a first-round pick, and the Wizards are not at a loss. In addition, the Wizards got Paul, Shamet, Morris Jr., Gallinari and others in these two deals, Paul's future is full of uncertainty, but the Wizards of the new season will definitely work towards the top signing.
The fourth biggest winner of the deal was the Lone Ranger
According to Celtic reporter Hamsbach, the completion of the Porzingis deal means that the Celtics cannot afford to give Gwee another contract that satisfies him. Gwei averaged 8.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last season, his defense is tough and fierce, according to the Lone Ranger reporter Cato, initially the Lone Ranger and the Celtics discussed about the first signing and then replacement of Gwe, but the Lone Ranger has no intention of paying him a draft pick, they only need to make an offer for Gwee that is larger than the middle class, and the Celtics can't match. The Lone Ranger needs defensive strength up front, and Gwee is the perfect supplement, in addition to the US media revealed that the Lone Ranger also intends Kuzma, who hopes to seek a contract with an average salary of $30 million.
Where to go from Wei Shao
The frustrated person hidden in this deal is Wei Shao. When the Clippers frantically pursued Paul before, Los Angeles media revealed that once Paul joined, Wei Shao's situation would become very embarrassing, and the Clippers' offer of Wei Shao's $3.8 million for 1 year was also dispensable. Now that Brogton has officially joined, Brogton can be tandem and can hold the ball, and the main offensive focus of the Clippers is here in the Capronics combination, so even if Wei Shao stays in the Clippers, with Gordon, Powell and others by his side, Wei Shao's role positioning may be weakened. But now Wei Shao is priceless, and it is likely to be forced to stay with the Clippers.
