The NBA regular season is in full swing, for the Nets, finally survived the difficult start of the day, a honeymoon schedule gave the team time to run, but also gave the bearded Harden the opportunity to find the state. In today's game against the Raptors, Harden slashed 15 points in the last 3 minutes and took away the game, and Harden got a comprehensive data of 28 points, 10 boards and 8 assists in the whole game, and only 2 mistakes, after the game, Durant said: If we want to compete for the championship, We need Harden to have such a performance every night. Now that the Nets have gradually found a sense of winning, the only obstacle to their fight for the title now is Irving.
At present, Irving's initiative to vaccinate is already a luxury, and New York will not change the epidemic prevention rules at this stage, in the case of two roads being blocked. Coupled with the NBA's official announcement that players need a second dose of vaccination in the morning, Irving's situation has become more complicated. The Nets had to make up their minds to send Irving away through a trade. It is undeniable that healthy Irving is still the top presence in the guard on the court, which is also the reason why Tsai Chongxin is reluctant to trade Irving, after the US media suggested that Simmons and Irving swap, the 76ers and the Nets both refused, and no one was willing to personally create an unbeatable opponent for their own championship road. Therefore, Irving will not be traded to the team with the strength to compete for the title in the East, except for the rebuilt team!
The US media "nbaanalysis" recently posted that the Nets can make a 2-for-4 blockbuster transaction with the Pistons to achieve the swap between Grant and Irving. The specific trade proposals are: the Pistons send Grant, Hayes, Joseph and the 2024 first-round picks, and the Nets send Irving and Jevon Carter.
The Pistons have only achieved a record of 1 win and 8 losses this season, for them, Cunningham is the focus of their future training, Grant is no longer in the future framework of the team, if grant trade to a superstar of the league's generation, to assist Motoro to grow rapidly, while quickly completing the reconstruction work, it will be very worth trying to do. The Pistons didn't pay any price for getting Grant from the Nuggets, and now they can exchange him for Irving, which is undoubtedly an empty glove white wolf. Irving's strength and rich playoff experience can help Corningham a lot, and Paul's success at the Suns has proven that an experienced guard can bring a surprising change to a young team. Javin Carter is adept at defending alone, having been the nation's top outside defender, and his long-range shots with the ball are threatening and can help the Pistons' outside line. Arguably, the Pistons definitely made money in this deal.
The Pistons sent not only Grant to Irving, but also Joseph, hays in the 2020 first round, and a first-round pick. After Grant's outbreak last season, the average score per game dropped to 16.6 points this season, including only 28.6% of the three-point shooting rate, although his state on the offensive end was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to become the leader of the team, but Grant is still the top defender in the third and fourth positions, he can improve the Nets' defensive level, and assist Durant and Harden well. Meanwhile, Hayes and Joseph are both instant players who can average 6 points per game, and the first-round signing has become an important chip for the Nets to reinforce the new round of trades.
Overall, even if the Nets did not get a matching chip in this deal, it was a wise choice to exchange Irving for players who strengthened the team's defense. In addition, Irving's going to the Pistons did not pose a threat to the Nets. What do you think of the deal? Welcome to leave a message!
