Legend of Tomorrow

Only Guo Xu and Roy were participating in the All-Star Weekend for the Suns. O'Neal took his girlfriend to Los Angeles to play, and the others were at home for the holidays. Among them, Roy only played 12 minutes, scoring 5 points and 2 assists, without any effort.

After the All-Star Game, the Suns players returned to their best physical condition and won the next game in February.

They only encountered a challenge against the Warriors. Relying on Guo Xu's outstanding performance in the final quarter, they reversed and won by 6 points.

Guo Xu scored 16 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and scored 48 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, and almost scored 50+ points. He broke through Curry time and time again, causing this unlucky kid to be questioned even more.

Curry can't become a star until he improves his defensive abilities. He needs time to accumulate experience.

Kobe scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, just one point behind Guo Xubiao. The difference between the two is the accuracy of shooting. Guo Xu is accurate most of the time. Kobe occasionally shoots more than 60% in a crazy game, and most of the time his shooting rate is more than 40%.

Before the trade deadline, there were several big deals in the league.

The Nets acquired star point guard Deron Williams through a trade, and sent Devin Harris, 2010 No. 3 overall pick power forward Derrick Favors, and two second-round draft picks to the Jazz.

Deron was quickly traded, which made people suspect that the conflict between him and coach Sloan was more serious than what the media revealed. The Jazz management had no patience with him at all.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Deron got more things in exchange, because the Nets also sent Troy Murphy as a package and called the Warriors to conduct a three-way trade. Now no one wants Murphy in the Hawks, and the Jazz are eager to send Deron away and have not packed up the team's junk contract.

In previous reports, it was rumored that Deron wanted to go to the Knicks to join Stoudemire because he was disappointed with the Jazz, and the Jazz management also promised to work hard to realize Deron's wish and let him go to the Knicks.

But the Jazz soon broke their promise and sent him to the Nets through a lightning trade. In an interview, Deron said that he was very frustrated to leave the Jazz, which he had been fighting for for several years.

Yes, I'm really frustrated. I originally wanted to stay with the Jazz. I also used to invite those who became free agents every summer for the future of the Jazz, hoping that they would come to Utah and work with me. But When I mention starting my career in Utah, they all ask, 'In Utah'?

Is this what a really depressed person would say? Regardless of his description or tone, Deron had an attitude of looking down on Utah. He is quite hypocritical. In his mind, the Nets are not as good as the Knicks, but they are also much better geographically than the Jazz.

The Nets have assembled the trident of Deron, David Lee, Pierce, and several outstanding role players. It will not be difficult to reach the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

The Timberwolves traded a first-round pick and a second-round pick to the Clippers' 2008 No. 2 pick Beasley.

With Griffin back this season and the addition of Jamison last season, Beasley's playing time has been significantly reduced. Beasley just plays randomly when he comes out. As a tactical terminator, he is dissatisfied with the lack of ball rights he gets, which leads to a bad atmosphere in the team's locker room. The Clippers can send him away.

Beasley thought Griffin was here to help him, but the management would have chosen to train Griffin if they had a right mind.

The Bobcats completed a trade with the Trail Blazers, trading Gerald Wallace for center Przybilla, forward Cunningham and two second-round draft picks.

Elvis Gerrard is probably the least valuable core player in the league.

The Bobcats did this deal simply to save money.

Gerrard signed a six-year, $57 million contract in 2007, expiring in 2013, with a player option in 2012. The average annual salary is less than 10 million, which is not expensive at all.

The Bobcats had previously prepared to trade with the Clippers to trade Gerald for Artest, but Artest refused to play for the Bobcats, causing the deal to unfortunately fall through. Many teams, including the Mavericks, wanted Gerrard to strengthen their wing defense, but the Bobcats, who were aiming to rebuild, only wanted to trade expiring contracts and draft picks. The Trail Blazers could meet their requirements, so the two sides hit it off.

It is worth mentioning that the transaction that has been hyped by major media since January did not happen, and the Knicks did not poach Carmelo Anthony in the mid-term.

Because the Nuggets want too many things, including this year's All-Star point guard Raymond Felton and Italian forward Gallinari, the chips they are willing to give out appear to be insufficient in sincerity, and only Anthony is useful.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Nuggets packaged Anthony and Billups in exchange for several potential newcomers from the Knicks. Now that Billups is with the Rockets, the two sides cannot reach a consensus.

If the Knicks send Felton away, the team will not have a reliable point guard. How will they be able to play in the playoffs? Just watch Anthony and Stoudemire take turns playing singles?

Anthony just wanted to play for the Knicks and stayed with the Nuggets after the deal failed.

The Knicks dodged a bullet. For this deal in the previous life, the Knicks gave away too many people and suffered serious injuries. Although they acquired Anthony and Billups, there were big holes in the lineup, and the record declined.

Anthony is a person who particularly likes to play in isolations with the ball, and his role is to score. Billups is also not suitable to partner with Stoudemire. He is not a point guard who mainly plays pick-and-roll.

The biggest protagonist of NBA mid-term trade is the Magic.

The Magic sent Vince Carter, Michael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick and $3 million in cash to the Pacers, getting Hedo Turkoglu, Azubuike and two Senior forward Earl Clark.

Carter's data has declined year by year. With a star's annual salary, he plays the role of a role player, averaging 14.8 points, 4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. The Magic had long wanted to send him away, but no team was willing to take him. It took until the trade deadline to convince the Pacers.

The Pacers were extremely reluctant to get Carter. The only thing that impressed them was the special option in Carter's contract. His final year was only partially guaranteed. Carter's annual salary next season is 18 million. If the Pacers waive him, they will only have to pay 4 million, saving 14 million in space.

Then the Magic sent forward Shawn Marion to the Wizards for General Gilbert Arenas. The Magic's goal is to win the championship. Marion lacks shooting range, and the offensive effect is not good when paired with Warcraft Howard.

If the deal continues like this, Howard will threaten to leave.

Howard can choose to opt out of his contract after next season and test the free agent market in the summer of 2012. If the Magic want to retain the core, something must be done.

Azubuike performed well for the Pacers, averaging 14.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 45.5% from the field and 40.7% from the three-point range. His fate changed after he was traded by the Warriors in advance. He was never seriously injured and just started his wandering career.

This large-scale transaction completely changed the Magic's lineup structure, and Turkoglu, who suited the Magic's tactical system, once again came to Howard's side. However, since Turkoglu left the Magic, his condition has declined sharply.

After Arenas came back, his condition became even more sluggish, shooting less than 40% from the field. It was a big risk to poach him, and it was 100% a bad contract. The Magic are desperate for results and make random transactions, so they are destined to be cheated by the Wizards.

After the Wizards acquired No. 1 pick John Wall, the coaching staff was interested in helping Arenas improve his statistics. He only managed 17.3 points and 5.6 assists in 15.6 shots, which was a pitifully low efficiency.

If he were a manager like Morey of the Rockets, he wouldn't even want to give Arenas away for free after analyzing the cost-effectiveness...
