A number of teams have failed to reach the heights they want this season due to failed operations, such as the Suns, who traded for Beal to put the team on decline, and they have three top-level trios that turned out to be only first-round rounders. Although the Bucks traded for Lillard and was stronger on paper, the team had no chemistry and was eventually eliminated in the first round. Of course, there are teams that don't work well, and there are teams that work well, so let's take a look at the 5 most successful operations this season.
The Mavericks re-sign Irving
After trading Irving last season, the Mavericks didn't even make the play-offs, thinking that the Mavericks might give up Irving in the offseason, but they chose to renew Irving's contract with a 3-year 128 million contract, which is lower than the super cap salary, if placed in the previous Irving, it may not be worth it, after all, he used to be an expert in team demolition, but now it is different, Irving has matured and has become a top second-in-command.
So far in the playoffs, Irving has averaged 21.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game, shooting 49% from the field and 43% from three-point range.
Green 4 for 1 Holiday
The Green Army made a number of trades in the offseason, they traded Smart in exchange for Porzingis, and for now, this deal for Celtl should be a loss, because Porzingis not only can't play hard, but also often gets injured, and is still recovering from injuries, but they got Holiday through a 4-for-1 by trading Brogdon, Lowe and draft picks, and this deal is definitely earned.
Holiday has averaged 10.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the playoffs so far, we just said that he is not worth the value of the data, so far in the playoffs, he has won 15.2 points in 100 rounds so far in the playoffs, and the team has won 15.2 points in the league since the playoffs, and the Green Army has renewed his contract with a 4-year 135 million contract.
Pacers trade to get Sika
In this season, the Pacers were able to reach the midseason finals by relying on Haliburton, but then other teams in the league began to target Haliburton, which also made the Pacers see Haliburton's shortcomings, he did not have a good offensive ability with the ball, and the team wanted to chase the record, one star was obviously not enough, so they got the Raptors star Siakam through a trade, and after Sika joined, the Pacers entered the playoffs.
And it is also because of Sika's play in the first round of the playoffs that the Pacers were able to cross the Bucks, and so far in the playoffs, Sika has averaged 20.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, which is still sacrificed as the team's second leader, otherwise his performance will be even better, when the Pacers traded him with Bruce Brown and 3 first-round picks, this deal is a win-win deal for both parties.
The Timberwolves re-signed Reed and McDaniels
Although the Timberwolves are not as crazy as before this offseason, they chose to keep the core lineup, the team renewed Reed with a 3-year 42 million contract, and then renewed McDaniels with a 5-year 136 million contract, these two transactions allowed the Timberwolves to retain the core lineup, both of them are offensive and defensive, which is the reason why they can finish in the top three in the West in the regular season, and Reed won the best sixth man.
So far in the playoffs, Reed has averaged 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 39.4% from three-point range and 1.6 three-pointers per game. McDaniels averaged 10.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and although his three-point game was inconsistent after the start of the playoffs, his defense and breakthrough killings were really good.
The Clippers traded to get Harden
Although the Clippers were eliminated in the first round, but without Harden, this season's Clippers could not play the top four in the West, and they could not win two games against the Mavericks, Harden played 4 consecutive star performances in the playoffs, but Leonard was injured, George could not play a tough battle, and finally Harden was helpless. Harden will most likely choose to leave the team after the end of this season, after all, the Clippers have re-signed Leonard, and they have no future.
When the Clippers traded for Harden, they paid Batum, Morris, Covington, 2 first-round picks and a second-round pick, these chips are a lot, but in terms of Harden's contribution to the team, he is worth it, and the Clippers also earned this deal, Harden averaged 21.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game in the playoffs, shooting 45% from the field.
