On the last day of 2023, the NBA completed its last big trade.
The Raptors sent Anunoby, Achiuwa and Flynn in exchange for Barrett, Quickley and a 24-year second-round pick (from the Pistons) from the Knicks, unnamed reporters reported.
Barrett is going to play hometown basketball.
This Tanhua show, who was in the same year as the fat tiger Morant, has not been able to play at the level expected by the Knicks for a long time, and has not received any honors so far.
On the contrary, it was the "mercenary" Brunson who was traded to explode, and his personal performance and leadership ability were all leveraged.
Perhaps under this strong contrast, the Knicks finally made up their minds to send away Barrett, who was previously cultivated as a heart and soul baby.
And the Knicks have a serious accumulation of guards, and the front line is relatively weak.
So the main body of this deal is Barrett and Anunoby swap owners, the latter is 2.01 meters tall and can attack and defend, averaging 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1 steal per game so far this season, shooting 48.9% and 37.4% from the field.
Brunson + Anunoby + Randle's new version of the Big Three has its own role in various positions, so I asked you if it is fragrant? Anyway, the Knicks think it is a good fit.
If the Knicks are willing to offer Anunoby a four-year, $116.9 million contract extension this year, it shows that they really see Anunoby as an important part of the future.
If he is offered a contract extension next year, Anunoby will only be able to sign a two-year, $40 million contract.
By the way, Anunoby was so excited to play in a big city that he said he was willing to accept a contract extension with a lower salary.
It's also worth mentioning that the Knicks didn't pay a first-round pick in the deal, which was generally surprising to league insiders.
What's more, I wonder if the Raptors have an undercover agent for the Knicks, or the general manager of the Raptors has a leg with the general manager of the Knicks.
Kidding aside, but the whole Knicks can definitely celebrate with champagne.
It's not that the Knicks can't afford to give a first-round pick, instead, they have eight first-round picks.
With so many first-round picks in hand, it is destined that the Knicks trading to Anunoby is just the beginning, and next summer offseason may be the time for them to make a big move.
The main target should be the Emperor, the new MVP, who can average 35 points, 11.7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks per game this season.
Although Philadelphia has a good record this season, it still can't see the championship, the main star flavor is insufficient, the team is a supergiant, and Maxi is an all-star at best.
Although the team's management has drawn a big pie, threatening to trade before next year's trade deadline or sign the third star directly next summer.
Deng: I'm back, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
Well, as long as that dog is in office in Philadelphia for a day, Brother Deng won't go back anyway.
To get back to the point, before the big pie is realized, it will always be just a big pie, and the mouth of the capitalist is a deceitful ghost.
Naturally, the Emperor is well aware of the virtues of Philadelphia's management, and has made several public statements hinting at the possibility of running away before the start of the season.
It makes sense that the Knicks have been eyeing the Great, as he could be the most likely new home if he falls out with Philadelphia, with his tempting chips, a strong roster and big-city background.
Brunson + Anunoby + Randall + the Great......
Don't be shy and shout those five words out loud!
