Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 184 184. There are always big melons to eat on the transaction deadline (seeking subscription)

February 2 is the trade deadline.

According to past experience, every trade deadline, there are always many transactions, either to strengthen the team, or to hoard resources.

Some excellent role players will change teams, but there will also be events where the team's star is traded.

Surprised the fans and made the fans eat melons.

First of all, the most shocking deal was the Clippers. After renewing the contract with Griffin with a maximum salary during the offseason, and declaring that Griffin would be the Clippers not for sale and the absolute core, the Clippers traded Griffin to the Pistons on the trade deadline.

The Clippers sent Griffin, Willie Reid and Bryce Johnson, and traded back from the Pistons for Tobias Harris, Bradley, Marjanovic, the 2018 first-round pick (top four pick protection) and the 2019 second-round pick.

If the Pistons' first-round pick is a top-four pick, the Clippers will have a lonely deal...

Griffin was also confused after being traded, and cried out in front of the media, saying that he had no idea that the team was going to trade him.

Real or not, at least the fans were fed.

It also proves once again that in the commercial league of the NBA, the team cannot fully believe in any promises made by the team. Personal hard power is more important, so that the team is reluctant to trade itself, or it can only be done if it has the right to actively trade and choose.

Griffin's deal may be just the beginning, and other teams have also made adjustments, but they are all just small things.

Until the knight shot.

Irving's departure has long pushed the Cavaliers to a dead end. Now most of the Cavaliers are experienced veterans. When James resumes free agency at the end of the season, the Cavaliers will face the embarrassment of having no new generation and no draft picks.

In other words, the team will not turn around in the next ten years.

Not to mention losing competitiveness, losing the future is unacceptable to fans. Once there are no fans to buy it, there is no ticket and peripheral income, what can be used to support players with more than [-] million yuan.

So the Cavaliers began to operate to leave a little hope for the team to rebuild.

First of all, the Cavaliers and the Lakers reached a blockbuster deal. The Cavaliers sent Thomas Jr., Channing Frye, and Larry Nance Jr. and Clarkson, who were signed by the Lakers in the first round in 2018.

This looks like a total loss-making deal!
Perhaps only the Cavaliers know why the Celtics were unwilling to provide a maximum salary to Thomas Jr., and the Cavaliers are also unwilling now.

Taking advantage of the trade value of Thomas Jr., the Cavaliers traded for Larry Nance Jr. is a very popular and talented insider, and Clarkson can also be cultivated into a very good role player.

Whether it is a profit or a loss depends on the future.

Selling Thomas Jr. is only the first step, and the Cavaliers are still continuing their team dismantling.

Send Wade and exchange for the Heat's second round pick.

Wade was not very happy in the Cavaliers. Although he played with his brother James, Wade was not reused after losing his original breakthrough ability, and his rotation among the substitutes was not guaranteed.

Wade should still be able to play. His experience and skills can guarantee the team's output in a very stable way. He can play a very good role on the bench and sometimes even when the main player is on the court.

But Tylen Lue obviously doesn't have Wade's instruction manual, which prevents Wade from being able to play, and also prevents the Cavaliers from seeing Wade's value.

It can only be said that this deal can be regarded as a little human touch between the Cavaliers and the Heat.When Wade came up with the idea of ​​retiring, he was able to return to his original team and complete a reincarnation, which was considered a fulfillment.

Then the Cavaliers, Kings and Jazz reached a three-way deal. The Cavaliers sent Shumpert, Crowder and Rose to get the King's George Hill and the Jazz's Hood. The King sent Hill to get Shumpert and the Jazz's Joe Johnson.

The Jazz are said to be waiving Rose.

As a No. [-] pick and a player who won the MVP during the rookie contract period, Rose was treated like a discarded shoe, which is embarrassing.

Rose also expressed his desire to retire.

Rose and Westbrook were drafted in the same year, but were ruined by injuries at what should have been their peak age.

Heartbroken.

Everything else is minor and not worthy of serious attention.

The deals involving the Thunder and the Lakers did not stir up waves.

The Thunder sent Kanter and Johnson to the Lakers for Randall and Brewer.

The Thunder's uniform team is really good at getting players they want to trade without paying for draft picks.

In this way, the team not only got a qualified starting power forward, but also got a substitute with swinging forwards and guards. Grant also released the pressure of starting, and continued to train from the backup small forward to polish himself, and Allen also benefited from it. Kanter's departure allowed him to get the position of a backup center.

The depth of the Thunder lineup has increased a lot.

Kanter's positioning in the Thunder is getting more and more embarrassing, the substitute is too wasteful, his defensive attitude can't be the starter, and he plays too little time as the sixth man. It is also very good to leave the Thunder and find a more suitable team.

Just as Li Cha was commenting like he did when he was watching football, his cell phone rang.

It's Allen again.

"Brother Li, Brother Enes has been traded!" As soon as Li Cha answered the phone, his ears hurt from the sound of the other side.

Putting the phone away, Li Cha rubbed his ears, and he could still clearly hear what Alan was saying when the phone was half a meter away.

"How could the team do this! Brother Enes is an old employee of the team. He works hard and earnestly completes the tasks of the team. Such a result is unacceptable!"

"What a good person he is. He never hesitates to ask him about the basket skills. He teaches me seriously, helps me practice, and leads me to grow."

"He's been nice to everyone on the team, and everybody's been friendly and got along really well."

"He and Brother Steven are still a combination of Beard Brothers. They are our strong support. We can win the game only if they are on the inside!"

……

"Jarrett, Jarrett..." Li Cha felt that there was too much noise in his ears, so he hurriedly stopped the soon-to-be cynic.

"Brother Li, do you think the team is so chilling?" Allen panted slightly, tired after talking too much.

"Jarrett, do you want to know why the team traded Enes?" Li Cha's words sounded like a magic voice.

Attracting Allen's attention, Allen called not only to complain, but also to get an explanation from his respected population.

"Brother, what is it?"

Li Cha cleared his throat, then lowered his voice, creating a very secretive atmosphere, "Enes played as a backup center before, who do you think will be the backup center now?"

"Of course it is..." Allen was about to say a name, but stopped suddenly.

After a while of silence, Allen's voice became very peaceful, "Brother Li, excuse me, I'm going to training. Goodbye!"

A slight tremor could be heard.

Li Cha didn't want to explain any commercial alliances, players are commodities, and these things are for the good of the team.

Those who understand these things understand, and those who don't understand will understand after experiencing it a few times, such as Griffin who just cried because he was traded to the Pistons.

At the same time, Li Cha didn't want to continue listening to Allen's loud voice, what should he do?

Just let him realize the truth on his own.

For example, it is specifically said that this is the team's purpose to train him and let him play his worth earlier.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be said directly. After all, this is Li Cha's fabrication. Let Alan understand the meaning by himself.

Fortunately, although this big boy is still a little too loyal, he has basic analytical thinking, and the selfish side of human nature also affects him.

In this way, the roots of my ears can be clean for at least a while, and maybe it can also stimulate Allen's potential.

February 2 is also the game day between the Thunder and the Lakers, the Lakers' home court.

Players who have been traded for less than 24 hours cannot participate in the game.

The Lakers are much worse than the Thunder, and neither Thomas Jr. nor Kanter can play.

But on the scene, it was the momentum of the Lakers that suppressed the Thunder.

I don't know if the Thunder slackened after winning the Warriors again, or the sudden deal was discouraging, and the Thunder players played without passion.

Thunder is also a team that needs passion to show its strength. In this way, the performance of Thunder players has completely lost its standard.

For the Lakers, it must be because there are many young people, and the competition is already serious. Trading a few can make the core more certain. In addition, the Lakers have traded more this season, which has allowed the players to adapt.

Facing the Thunder that had double-killed themselves, the Lakers players showed momentum instead.

The Thunder missed all the points and lost points in all four quarters. Adams made 11 of 4 shots from the inside and Patterson finally made 6 of 0 shots in the starting lineup.

Westbrook was 15 for 5 and George was 13 for 4.

The top three teams in the Western Conference lost 20 points against the bottom of the Western Conference.

威斯布鲁克13分8篮板8助攻，乔治15分9篮板。

只有李茶发挥稍微正常，但是还是没办法带动这么多0分队友。21投9中罚球8中7李茶得到28分3篮板。

After the game, Adams looked a little aggrieved, still looking at the Lakers' bench from time to time, but the person he was looking for did not appear.

Adams looked away only when Westbrook was around.

Sure enough, did the trade affect the morale of the team?
The Thunder's record fell behind the Rockets again.

Donovan's All-Star head coach is going to be ruined. There are only 10 days before the start of the All-Star Game, and the Thunder only have 3 games left.

2018年的全明星比赛将从2月17日开始到19日，将从15日起有两天休息时间，结束后也有两天休息时间，22日重启比赛。

Coincidentally, the Thunderclap's match day on February 2 happened to be Valentine's Day, and it was also China's New Year's Eve. It was originally a romantic festival to play a game, which disrupted some of Li Cha's plans.

Like making a drink appointment with Westbrook.

Like spending Valentine's Day with Rosie.

For example, the two have to watch the New Year together.

There is still a week, so let's make a plan first.

　Please subscribe, thank you all.
