As a commercial league, the NBA has long become a commonplace norm for transactions between players. However, after huddling for warmth has become the general trend, not every transaction can achieve the desired effect, and even more transactions end in a bleak ending, so a good transaction requires the ability to discern the pearl and also requires a certain element of luck.

Anunoby is a super-athlete with excellent physical attributes, being able to dribble and shoot on his own, rebounding and defending. A heavy small forward with excellent arm span and the potential to become a strong engineer-type player, Anunoby won the championship with the team in the 2018-19 season, and despite winning such an honor by lying down, the title of champion, as well as the good performance during the regular season that season, still allowed Anunoby to boost his self-confidence, and become a young star with both offense and defense in this year's experience.
In the 2023-24 season, as the game deepened, the Raptors and Knicks reached a 3-for-3 trade plan around Anunoby and Barrett swapping owners.
After joining the team, Anunoby can also be described as plug and play, in the face of the Timberwolves, in front of the first in the West, Anunoby played an extremely strong game performance, the whole game cut 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, 12 shots 7, extremely efficient performance, but also made Anunoby's debut in the new club extremely perfect, immediate performance, not only to win, to help the team win this strong dialogue, but also to leave an excellent impression on the team, so that Anunoby's future road, can be described as smoother, but also for the team to provide a broader future and vision。
Although this deal, it still takes time to test, but after ushering in a good start, a succession of good performances, but also laid a solid foundation for the team's four consecutive wins, with the blessing of victory, it will be an excellent signal for each other, and Anunoby's excellent defensive ability can make Thibodeau extremely satisfied, after all, as a tough guy produced by the Raptors, Anunoby is also a forward star who can attack and defend, which can bring greater competitiveness to the Knicks, and the aura of the championship will also make Anunoby more confident and calm, which can bring such emotions to every teammate, enhance the team's self-confidence and competitiveness, and make the team come back, to launch an impact on the championship, let this big city, realize the glory and greatness of the past, and reshape the moment of glory.
5. The Suns got Allen in a three-way trade
Allen averaged 13.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 50.9% from the field, 47.3% from three-point range, and 89.1% from the free throw line.
As a defensive giant, Allen's excellent defensive awareness and fierce defensive ability have made Allen the team's absolute defensive leader, not only that, but Allen's excellent dedication ability also allows him to become a veritable outside musketeer, a blue-collar star with fierce defensive ability and strong competitiveness.
In the 2023 offseason, Allen was once again sacrificed to Lillard's trade package and was sent to the Phoenix Suns by the team. After joining the Big Three team, Allen, as the team's starter, is also around the Big Three, extremely important core players, whether in the shortage of personnel, or after the Big Three combined, Allen can provide competitiveness for the team, on the defensive end, Allen was once arranged to defend the opponent's top soldiers, and on the offensive end, it is to share the pressure of the Big Three, ready to go on the outside.
In the face of the Heat's game, in the case of Durant's suspension due to injury, Allen once again played a phenomenal performance, after Spoelstra used the joint defense again, Allen once became the key to the team's joint defense, nine three-pointers, but also shot through the Heat, so that Spoelstra for his joint defense tactics, pay a huge price, and also became the team's key to the Heat.
This phenomenal performance is also the epitome of Allen's season, although Allen will not be so explosive in every game, but the conscientious defense, as well as the 47.3% three-point shooting rate, have made Allen on both offensive and defensive ends, bringing great competitiveness to the team, and becoming the most outstanding role player around the Big Three.
Therefore, although the regular season is still continuing, this deal, for the Suns, is still making a lot of money, the Suns through this deal, not only improve the team's forward defensive ability, but also let the Big Three have an extra musketeer next to them, which can improve the sense of space on the court, let the Big Three reduce the pressure, and can also make the opponent pay a painful price for the Big Three, and even joint defense tactics, becoming an icebreaker, and an indispensable all-round role player on the team's road to winning the championship.
4. The Pacers traded to get Toppin

Toppin was selected by the Knicks with the first pick in the first round in 2020. As a young star, Obi Toppin is an all-round attacking player, and Toppin's experience as a defender as a teenager has made him more versatile. A good dribble allows Toppin to deceive opponents in the face frame attack, and when breaking through or with his back, Toppin can also safely distribute the ball to defenders. However, the lack of excellent rim protection ability makes Toppin flawed and becomes a power forward with poor defensive ability.
In the 2023 offseason, Toppin was sent away by the Knicks, and after joining the Pacers, in the young team, Toppin once found a rhythm and a way to play, and his good performance made Toppin's competitiveness soar, and also greatly improved the data, bringing a new sense of energy and competitiveness to the team.
Topin's performance in cashing in on his talent was also a key factor in the Pacers' promotion from a fish-belly team to a big team, despite being traded by the team, for the young man's psychology.
It will be a blow, but Topin's ability to transform like a fish in water is also to make him the biggest beneficiary of the transaction, and it is a gorgeous turn, playing the aggressiveness and competitiveness that a big forward should have, this seemingly calm deal, but also let the Pacers get a young instant force again, bringing great competitiveness to the team's present and future, so that it can get out of the trough as soon as possible, and realize the revival and glory of the dynasty.
3. The Bucks traded three ways to get Lillard
Lillard, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 25.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, shooting 43.1% from the field, 35.8% from three-point range, and 92.5% from the free throw line.
As a super scorer, Lillard's excellent scoring ability and diverse offensive means make Lillard very competitive on the court, super projection ability, and constantly improving offensive deterrence, so that he can bring a huge sense of space and competitiveness to the team.
In the 2023 offseason, Lillard fell out with the team, and before the start of the season, the Trail Blazers completed a three-way trade with the Bucks and the Suns. After a long run-in period, Lillard once again played an extremely bloodthirsty performance, and his phenomenal scoring ability allowed Lillard to bring great competitiveness to the team, and also relieved the huge pressure on Brother Alphabet, making it easier for him to score in the restricted area, and also providing space for other teammates to shoot.
Lillard's ability to kill at critical moments has also improved the deterrence of the Bucks' key balls, previously, Brother Alphabet was once criticized for his projection ability, and after Lillard joined, it also enhanced the team's competitiveness at critical moments, especially after Middleton's sluggish state, Lillard also carried the banner of the team's critical moments, in the case of using team defense, Lillard's weakness on the defensive end can also be ignored, and the extremely shocking performance on the offensive end has also made the Bucks' record continue to improve, making this giant team a real championship team again, in other words, although this deal has made the Bucks lose their defensive ability on the front line, but they have improved their ultimate offensive abilityAll in all, this deal still has more advantages than disadvantages for the Bucks, and it is still a treasure hunting deal to compete for championship competitiveness again after thinking about it.
2. The Hornets signed a contract with domestic violence man Bridges with a base salary
Bridges averaged 20.4 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 46.2% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 85.1% from the free throw line.
Bridges was drafted by the Clippers with the 12th pick in the first round in 2018. As a young star, Bridges once played a very shocking game, but due to the beating of his girlfriend last season, the domestic violence storm made Bridges once encounter heated discussions, and also made this young star, who was worth 100 million yuan, once ignored by many teams, and last season, was also once snubbed by many teams, so that Bridges, who is growing, can only accept the current situation and the fact of unemployment.
In the 2023 offseason, Bridges, who lifted the restrictions, was recruited by his old club Hornets again and returned to the court on a base salary contract.
As a young man, Bridges's plug-and-play performance, as well as seamless adaptability, also allowed him to realize his talent again, and his state was not affected and stumped by the long-lost battle formation, with an average of 20+ performances per game, continuing to show the sense of energy and explosiveness that the core star should have.
With Bridges' continued improvement in individual ability and game adaptability, the Hornets also see hope and future for their rise again. Although Bridges, who is famous again, will inevitably get a big contract, but this season, the Hornets can get this young star at the price of cabbage, for the team, it is tantamount to picking up a year's cheapness for nothing, almost with a base salary contract, with a 10 million yuan star, the Hornets can also be said to have made a lot of money, and this domestic violence man who was spurned by everyone in the past has once again played the sense of déjà vu at the peak of his old club in his old club, and even got rid of the shadow and influence in his heart, and once again became a young star who killed everywhere.

Harden, as a two-way guard and excellent individual ability, was once a historic-level existence, but due to successive trades, Harden was haggard. In the offseason, Harden fell out with his old club Philadelphia, and desperately wanted to leave the team and join forces with his second brother Wei Shao again to continue his lead.
After a lot of twists and turns, the 76ers and the Clippers reached a deal about Harden, and although the team kept the double star and Westbrook, they sent away more first-round picks, which also allowed the Clippers to have almost all future resources. This all-or-nothing deal is also a big gamble for Ballmer, after all, Harden's deteriorating form and whether he can have chemistry with the team will become a variable and a possibility.
After joining the team, Harden and the team experienced a long losing streak, and once again played an extremely good performance, in December, Harden led the Clippers to a 11-2 record, excellent team ability, but also made Harden a real ball-holding core again, especially after Leonard and George suffered injuries one after another, Harden became the absolute core leader of the team, and his excellent organizational skills made Harden a real commander.
