The Rockets reached 4 for 1, the Warriors were ready to move, and Lao Zhan became the first choice for trading
On February 2, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and as the trade deadline approached, many teams wanted to make some changes, and there were three major trade dynamics in the past. Among them, the Rockets have reached a deal and reached a 4-for-1 plan with the Grizzlies; the Warriors are also on the move, and they are not willing to break up the library and chase the soup, preferring to send away Wiggins and Paul; the Lakers have reported heavy news, and Lao Zhan has become the first choice for the trade.
The Rockets were aggressive in free agency and finally made their first trade this time to trade Oladipo and three second-round picks to get Steve Adams from the Grizzlies. However, the trade is in preparation for next season, and Adams has already been reimbursed early this season and will not be able to play for the team. As for Oladipo, the same is true, although there is no season reimbursement, but he has not played for the Rockets, and there is no loss in sending him away.
The Warriors have been disappointing this season, and the team is looking to make some changes in the free agency, with reports that all but Curry are available for trade. Judging from the team's situation, they don't plan to tear apart the iron triangle of Curry, Thompson and Green, preferring to send away Wiggins and Paul to make some changes. It's understandable, given that Curry has brought a lot to the team, while Wiggins and Paul have both slipped this season.
At present, the Warriors are also actively preparing, but it is also difficult to send away Wiggins and Curry, and if they want to improve their strength, they may have to take young players or first-round picks. Now it is also a test for general manager Dunleavy to see if he can help the team, once he can't improve, then the Warriors basically have little chance this season. The Warriors currently have a 20-24 record, 12th in the West, and whether they can make the playoffs is unknown.
There is heavy news from the Lakers, and the Los Angeles reporter revealed that the Lakers' current primary trade partner is the 39-year-old James. As soon as this news came out, it also shocked the league, it was Lao Zhan who made a decision in the offseason, is this time going to be the protagonist at the trade deadline? If this really happens, it must be that Lao Zhan himself wants to leave, after all, the Lakers will definitely not do this, and the team has always been built with Zhan Mei as the core. It's just that the team has always been tepid this season, with a current record of 24 wins and 25 losses, ranking ninth in the West, and it is still a little difficult to stand out surrounded by strong opponents in the West.
