NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

"Just got some breaking news!!"

New York, USA

Madison Square Garden

On the TNT commentary stand on the sidelines, Smith looked at the news on the computer screen and said in shock: "The Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans have a multi-player trade!"

"The specific content is centered around Anthony Davis. The Pelicans sent this All-Star center to the Lakers in exchange for Lonzo Ball, Ingram, Josh Hart and four draft picks!"

"This includes the fourth pick in this year's first round!"

O'Neal, who had not spoken for a long time, said excitedly: "It's hard to imagine what it would be like for LeBron James and Anthony Davis to play together!"

"They will be the OK combination of the new era!"

I can tell

This deal by the Los Angeles Lakers really made O'Neal, a legendary player in the team's history, very excited.

"Yes, trade for Anthony Davis..."

"It has really made a big improvement in the Lakers' lineup. Their only goal for next season is probably the championship!"

As a world-class leaf blower, Smith was undoubtedly jealous when he saw the Lakers trade for Anthony Davis.

After all, the Clippers achieved outstanding results in the season that just ended.

Their position in Los Angeles is about to challenge the Lakers' dominance.

Unfortunately

This deal made by the Lakers in the draft may very well indicate that they are about to rise again!

"I am now very curious about what the Los Angeles Clippers will do in the draft!"

Smith continued: "You know, in this offseason, the Clippers have nearly 50 million in salary space!"

"The huge salary space allows them to sign at least one superstar this summer!"

however

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Los Angeles Clippers did not make any trades at the draft.

Their two first-round picks went to Jordan Puer and Mann.

The team management's inaction has also caused dissatisfaction among many Clippers fans!

"The Lakers next door gave up two third-place picks and four draft picks in exchange for Anthony Davis! And what about us?? Only the salary cap space is left!!"

"Mazefak, tell me what the team management believes in!??"

“Why not find a star player for Ye Huan!??”

"I don't understand. I totally don't understand. All the management except Jerry West should be fired!"

.......

Amid the fans’ abuse!

November 7th, US time!

On the first day of the free market, teams across the league made many big deals!

The first to be affected is the big deal between the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets.

Shortly after the free market opened, Kevin Durant announced on his social media that he would join the Brooklyn Nets through a sign-and-trade deal.

In addition, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan also announced that they had signed with the Brooklyn Nets as free agents.

The Warriors only got Russell in this deal.

There were signs of Kevin Durant's departure a long time ago.

This can be seen from the fact that he repeatedly rejected the Warriors' contract extension proposals last season, and the conflict between him and Draymond Green has long been made public.

The Brooklyn Nets have never been short of big moves.

As early as that year, the luxurious Big Five consisting of Garnett, Pierce and Deron Williams was formed.

Their idea of ​​building a team is to sign superstars with high salaries, and they have never thought about rising by cultivating potential rookies.

After all, he is a rich man, so there is no need to waste time!

follow closely

The Philadelphia 76ers made a five-player trade with the Miami Heat.

The 76ers sent Jimmy Butler to the Heat in exchange for Josh Richardson, Hassan Whiteside and a 2023 first-round draft pick.

Jimmy Butler had the determination to be the boss as early as his time with the Bulls, and joining the Heat is a perfect thing for both parties.

The 76ers also acquired potential rising star Josh Richardson in this trade.

November 7th, US time

An earthquake-level deal that shocked the entire league!

The two teams involved in the transaction are the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns.

The core players of the transaction are the 18th No. pick Deandre Ayton and Paul George.

When the news of this transaction came out, most media and fans were stunned.

Deandre Ayton for George?

Is the Oklahoma City Thunder management crazy?

You know, last season, although the team was eliminated early in the first round of the playoffs, Paul George played at the peak of his career during the regular season.

Not only was he shortlisted for the league's double first team, he was only behind Ye Huan, Antetokounmpo and James Harden on the MVP selection list.

And what about Ayton?

Although he entered the NBA with the title of No. 1 pick, his strength is far inferior to Ye Huan and Luka Doncic.

He was even banned by the league for taking performance-enhancing drugs during the regular season.

Why can Ayton be exchanged for George?

Another thing is, is it really true that George and Westbrook are not better together than Booker?

Although Booker's scoring ability is a hot spot, he has not made it to the playoffs in the five years since he entered the league.

Just when fans were hotly discussing this deal.

After a few minutes

Free agent Leonard announced that he has signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Phoenix Suns!

Leonard joined, and Paul George and Devin Booker were acquired in the trade.

Phoenix has become a championship-level team.

It is foreseeable that this signing will be enough to change the fate of the Suns in the next three years.

Three years is enough for Leonard to bring a championship trophy to the Suns.

And before that

The Los Angeles Lakers are madly pursuing Leonard, they hope to form a Big Three of James + Davis + Leonard.

But Kawhi, who just led the Raptors to eliminate all strong opponents in the Eastern Conference, does not want to be the team's number two.

Teams across the league are actively working to strengthen their teams.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who reached the Western Conference Finals last season and went through seven games, still haven't made any moves.

There are only a few big fish left in the free market.

The Clippers management also began to take active actions.

They first contacted fellow free agents such as CJ McCollum, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

But these people all have their own pride.

They all rejected the Clippers' offer at the first opportunity and turned around to complete the contract renewal with the team.

“I want Russell Westbrook!”

Inside the Clippers' executive meeting room in Los Angeles

Ye Huan directly told Jerry West: "I really hope to fight alongside him!"

"But...Russell..."

"I have a solution!"

Before Mr. West finished speaking, Ye Huan interrupted and said, “Mr. West, you don’t have to worry about our coexistence!”

"We will become the best backcourt combination in the league!"
