After a morning of friendly negotiations, the three reached an agreement, and finally proceeded with the previously agreed transaction plan!

At this time, the trade deadline is approaching. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the trade, the Lakers, Knicks, and Raptors issued a statement immediately after the agreement was completed!

The Raptors sent Boucher + the last pick in the first round + Yuta Watanabe and others used to balance the salary, in exchange for Noel and Horton Tucker!
The Lakers sent Horton Tucker + Nunn + two second-round picks in exchange for Reddish + Boucher!
The Knicks sent Noelle + Reddish in exchange for Nunn + a first-round pick + two second-round picks + Yuta Watanabe and others used by the Raptors to balance the salary!
As soon as this deal came out, the entire American sports media was shocked!

The Lakers are doing things again. This is the second big deal since the Lakers completed Westbrook's deal!
Moreover, compared to Westbrook's deal, the Lakers' deal is obviously even crazier!
Using Horton Tucker + Nunn + two second-round picks in exchange for the young striker Reddish and the experienced striker Boucher, this kind of transaction made countless media dumbfounded. For a while, reports from various media swarmed in.

"Crazy Deal!Lin Fei's stroke of genius! "

"The Lakers once again completed a looting transaction, and may become the biggest contender for the championship! "

At the same time, the Lakers fans who learned of the deal couldn't help laughing out loud, and crazily liked it on the official Twitter.

The Knicks fans are also ecstatic. Reddish + Noelle exchanged for three draft picks and Yuta Watanabe's additions. It is definitely not a loss, and even a little profit. Knicks fans finally see Until the general manager of the Knicks made a relatively normal operation!

Unlike the ecstasy of Lakers fans and Knicks fans, Raptors fans were very calm after hearing the news. It's not bad to trade Boucher + draft picks + extra heads for Horton Tucker and Noelle. acceptable.

After all, Horton Tucker was the one the Raptors were optimistic about in the offseason last season, and under Lin Fei's control this season, Horton Tucker's statistics are not bad!
And the Raptors team reporter also broke the news that Boucher was at odds with the management at the beginning of the season. This is one of the reasons why the Raptors are eager to trade Boucher.

Coupled with the high degree of overlap between Achuwa and Boucher's play styles in the team, under these two options, the Raptors will definitely choose the younger Achuwa!

After all, this season, the Raptors have no pursuit of performance. The team is full of young people, and the leading boss Siakam is obviously not good enough. It is obviously not enough to enter the playoffs and play high-end games. Therefore, hoarding young people is now benevolent!
Get rid of Boucher to free up playing time for Achuwa in the team, and then exchange for the young Spider-Man Horton Tucker and the capable Noelle. After a few more years of precipitation, by then, the Raptors The team will set off a youth storm in the eastern part of the NBA league! !

Therefore, after the Raptors fans heard the news, there was no disturbance in their hearts, and they even wanted to open a 2K.

But different from the calmness of the Raptors fans, the TNT live broadcast room completely exploded at this time!

Known as "Yang Yi of America", Smith is eloquent in the live broadcast room!

"Hey, this is really crazy. The degree of bizarreness of this transaction is second only to the transaction between the Nets and the 76ers in my opinion!"

Smith kept talking, and when he was having fun, he couldn't help but swear.

"Fack, Lin Fei is such a genius. How did he convince the general manager of the Raptors? In my opinion, this trade of Lin Fei has brought the strength of the current Lakers team to another level. Horton Tucker and Nunn replaced by Boucher and Reddish!"

"This is simply a huge upgrade, it can even be said to be advanced, and the most bizarre thing is that the Lakers only paid the price of two second-round picks! It's crazy!"

After Smith finished speaking, O'Neal, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help nodding: "You're right, Mr. Smith, Lin Fei's trading ability is really too strong, crazy, here is a statistic that shows that the Lakers are completing the After a few trades, we started a 5-game winning streak, and even won a [-]-game away game in a row!"

"I believe that after completing this transaction, their record will definitely go straight to the sky, and it is very likely that they will rush into the upper half of the Western Conference!"

After listening to O'Neal's words, Smith nodded irrefutably: "We have the same opinion, O'Neal, the Lakers will definitely return to the upper half of the Western Conference. To be honest, their current strength is definitely capable of competing for the championship!"

"Come on, buddy, let's see how many strikers the Lakers have now, the core James and Big Eyebrows, the young and energetic Deck, Gary Clark, Gabriel, Johnson, veteran Howard and Anthony!"

"Oh, by the way, they recently gave Bembury and Cousins ​​a two-way contract. Guys, the Lakers now have so many strikers, ten strikers!"

"It's crazy. It's hard to imagine that this Lakers team was an extremely crowded team at the beginning of the season! Now their forward resources make the entire league envious!"

O'Neal couldn't help sighing: "Really, man, I'm a little envious of James now, he has the best general manager in this league now!"

At this moment, the host Barkley, who was sitting between O'Neill and Smith, smiled: "Okay, okay, stop bragging about our Chinese boy Lin Fei, both of you, for this deal, please help me Let's make a rating for these three teams!"

Smith nodded, and after thinking for a while, he took the lead and said: "The Lakers sent away Horton Tucker, who had a relatively small role in the team, and Nunn, who was on the injured list. Although they added two insignificant second-round picks, But they traded Reddish and Boucher, who are strong, and supplemented the striker resources again. I can give them an S-level evaluation for this deal!"

"The Knicks' trading options are also good. They sent Reddish and Noelle, and they actually got back three draft picks, one of which was a first-round pick. Said that he also got Yuta Watanabe from the Raptors, all in all, this is one of the few Knicks general managers who made a small profit, and I can give them an A-level evaluation!"

"The Raptors, at the end of the first round, sent Boucher and some additions in exchange for younger Horton Tucker and Noelle. Considering that the Raptors were interested in Horton Tucker before, plus the Raptors I love collecting this kind of spiderman. I can only say that this deal is a deal that the Raptors like. They have harvested a young lottery ticket. After a few years, maybe the Raptors will set off a game in the league Youth Storm!"

"So, for the Raptors trade, I give them a B-!"

After listening to Smith's words, the host Barkley nodded lightly: "Wow, a pertinent evaluation!"

After Barkley finished speaking, he turned his eyes to O'Neal: "So what about you, big black fat man, what is your trade rating for these three teams?"

Seeing that Barkley asked himself, O'Neal grinned and said, "Mr. Smith's rating is very pertinent!"

"Hey, my rating is the same as Mr. Smith's!"

After O'Neal finished speaking, he pouted and asked Barkley, "What about you, Mr. Fliggy, what is your trade rating for these three teams?"

Barkley touched his bald head with a smile, and said, "Hey, I do the same!"
