After the All-Stars ended, An Luo got a 4-day vacation.It was the only time in the long season.
An Luo, who left Charlotte, went directly to Los Angeles.During the New Year's Eve, you still have to spend time with your family.His old mother was complaining some time ago, saying that An Luo didn't have time to spend with her during Chinese New Year.Now, finally, there is time.Moreover, Tang Xiaoru has already returned to Los Angeles with her parents after the new year.Unfortunately, An Luo didn't have time to go back to spend the New Year with Father An this year.Of course, since he came to the United States to play, such things cannot be avoided.
After the end of the All-Star weekend, the NBA will enter a stage of chaos.Except for those teams that are bad, the teams that hope to advance to the playoffs will definitely try to win.And those teams that have been able to enter the playoffs are also gearing up, hoping to get a suitable position and get more opportunities in the playoffs.Those teams that are eyeing the championship are also trying their best to use transactions to improve their lineup strength.
动作最快的当属费城76人。他们在2月上旬，便与洛杉矶快船完成了一笔重量级的交易。他们送出兰德里·沙梅特、威尔森·钱德勒、穆斯卡拉加上2020年受保护首轮选秀权、2021年不受保护首轮选秀权（来自热火）以及2个二轮选秀权。从快船得到哈里斯、博班·马扬诺维奇、迈克·斯科特。
After this deal, the 76ers completed the upgrade at the fourth position and got the main power forward at the All-Star level.Harris played the most dazzling season of his career this season, averaging 20.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was close to 50%.The three-point shooting rate reached 43%. Although he unfortunately lost the All-Star selection, he already has the strength of an All-Star.In addition, Marjanovic is a high center and can relieve Embiid.Scott is also a good bench player who can improve the team's three-pointer threat.
So far, the 76ers have formed a very luxurious lineup.According to statistics, the 76ers are the only team in the league where the starting five tigers average more than 17 points per game.In terms of the luxury of the lineup on paper alone, the 76ers have already ranked among the strongest sequences in the league.Their goal is the championship!
The purpose of the Clippers is simple.They gave up this season and directly set their sights on the free market in the summer of a few years.After completing this deal, the Clippers need salary space, salary space, and trading chips.Coupled with the high exposure rate in Los Angeles, He Chou could not recruit one or two superstars.
It's just suffering from those championship teams in the East!Suddenly, an eastern "warrior" appeared, and the road ahead would be difficult!However, seeing that the opponent has completed the upgrade, the other championship teams will naturally not stand still.
Just before the trade deadline, the Bucks quietly acquired Mirotic from the Pelicans.The Pelicans intend to rebuild after Anthony Davis' stalemate.Therefore, it is understandable for them to send away players who are still worth a few dollars in the team and exchange some draft picks.But this deal directly allowed the Bucks to pick up a bargain.
This season, Mirotic averaged 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. With a height of 2.08 meters, he moves flexibly, and his skills are delicate and comprehensive, which his opponents dare not ignore.More importantly, he is a high-quality space four, with a 36.8% three-point shooting rate and an average of 2.7 three-pointers per game.Both internal and external firepower, full of restraint and presence.Isn't this the fourth position that the Bucks have always dreamed of and is the most suitable partner for Antetokounmpo!
As a result, the Bucks' lineup has changed from the previous two-star five-shot to two-star six-shot. Although it doesn't look as good as the 76ers' "Big Four" lineup, the combat effectiveness is also terrifying.Originally, the Bucks' outside shooters and the super-athletic Antetokounmpo have already shown super combat effectiveness.Now there is another anti-aircraft turret to share the offensive and defensive pressure for Antetokounmpo.The Bucks take off, just this year.
When the 76ers and the Bucks were satisfied, the Raptors also did a big thing.Two hours before the trade deadline, they completed a blockbuster deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.The Raptors sent Valanciunas, Deron Wright, CJ Miles and a second-round pick in 2024 to get All-Star center Marc Gasol.
The arrival of Gasol Jr. filled the last shortcoming of the Raptors-center.Compared with Valanciunas, Gasol Jr. has the upper hand in terms of range, support, and frame protection ability.Moreover, through this deal, the Raptors also got rid of CJ Myers' 800 million poison contract, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.More importantly, after having Lowry, Danny Green, Leonard, and Ibaka, the arrival of Gasol has undoubtedly raised the Raptors' defense to a more daunting level.And defense, in the playoffs, is a much more critical factor.
The top three in the Eastern Conference have all completed their lineup upgrades.The Celtics, who were originally the most optimistic by everyone, are still living on their laurels.Things got more complicated for the Celtics in the aftermath of their failed pursuit of Anthony Davis.The season has come to the present, if they still can't be twisted into a single rope, and they are still spent in internal friction, then the future will be difficult to talk about.Of course, once they are united, the current lineup is still very competitive.
In contrast, the teams in the West basically did not make any moves, especially the Thunder, Warriors, Nuggets, and Rockets, the four top teams in the West.There are also a little bit of minor repairs and repairs, which have little impact.
But the Lone Ranger did a big thing.They completed a deal with the Knicks in early February, sending away Dennis Smith, Matthews, Jordan and two future first-round picks, and got Porzingis, Hardaway, Courtney Lee and Trey Burke.Then he sent Barnes to the Kings for Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph.
This is to make it clear that Dongcic must be helped to the top!Clear out all the players on the team who are not suitable for him.Of course, Doncic deserves that from Cuban.He played at an All-Star level when he first entered the league. Not only is his statistics dazzling, but at every critical moment, this 19-year-old "rookie" can always stand up to take over the game, save the team many times, and turn the tide.
Of course, a wave of operations by the Lone Ranger turned him into an international Lone Ranger team, which Cuban did not expect.However, it can be expected that when Porzingis returns from injury next season and Doncic becomes more experienced, the Lone Ranger will become that wild western cowboy again!
