If you want to fairly evaluate the operation of each team in the offseason, the answer must be as follows: the operation is undoubtedly a calf, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the desperate place is born, and each reinforcement can be described as something out of nothing; Speaking of signing, there is no doubt that the Lakers have gained the most; In terms of the draft and the formation of the coaching staff, it is undoubtedly a rocket; The worst was 76; And when it comes to trading, it should be that the sun is making crazy. At the beginning of the offseason, the Suns took the lead, sent Paul Sr. to win the Wizards' top guard Beal, and thus formed a luxurious Big Four combination, and signed Gordon, Watanabe and others, reaching this year's championship Nuggets. It is worth mentioning that the Suns are also the only team to win two games with the Nuggets this year, and they did it with the remnants, so the Suns armed to the teeth in the new season will definitely put a lot of pressure on the Nuggets, and the Suns will seize every opportunity to take down the Nuggets.
However, although the Suns have the strongest offensive firepower in the league, they still lack a top point guard who can pinch them together, and it is not easy to win the championship solely by relying on individual singles, but according to previous revelations, Beal became the Suns' starting point guard in the new season, and the Suns also gave the team's only point guard Payne White to the Spurs, analysts believe that the Suns' move is likely to free up salary space and positions in preparation for Ayton's trade. At present, Ayton's trade value is not low, and the Lone Ranger and Lakers have all had trade scandals with Ayton. Recently, the US media NBA analysis network broke the news that the Clippers and the Suns are expected to reach a 3-for-1 deal this summer, and the specific transaction details are: the Clippers sent Zubac, Batum and Covington, and exchanged Ayton from the Suns. The deal is very operable, and the Sun has a plan to turn it to zero!
For the Clippers, although Zubac, the starting center of the Clippers, is very good, he is slow to move, his ability to change defenses is too poor, and his offensive means are relatively single, it is difficult to become the interior core of a championship team, and the playoffs are easy to become a weakness for opponents. And if Zubac is replaced by Ayton, the Clippers' overall strength on the inside will be raised a notch. Ayton is a champion with the top physical talent in history, and the Suns have never been able to deliver on their talent due to lack of possession, and after coming to the Clippers, Ayton will have a lot of shots, under such conditions, Ayton is expected to completely unleash his on-court value and play the league's top interior dominance. If the Clippers send Powell and Mann away for Harden, the Clippers can take off in place.
For the Suns, Ayton continues to stay in the Suns, then after the arrival of Beal, his status on the team will further decline, it will be difficult to have a big development in the future, and now there is an opportunity to play in a new environment, Ayton is obviously sure to seize it. The Clippers themselves have a good forward reserve, and it would be wise to send some forwards in exchange for players who can help the team better. Although the Suns have three top scorers, the team has always had shortcomings on the defensive end, especially the defensive strength on the outside is very average. In this deal, the Suns can get Covington and Batum, two top wings, who are all high-quality offensive and defensive players, and with the alliance of the two, the Suns' lineup will become more reasonable. In addition, Zubac can make up for the vacancy of Ayton's departure to a certain extent, and I believe that the overall strength of the Suns will be greatly improved.
