In this deal, the 76ers, as a third-party team, sent away Beno Udri's expired contract and acquired Jason Richardson.

The Pistons received the expiring contracts of Fields and Benno Udrih.

Prince renewed his contract with the Pistons in 2011 to a four-year, $27.81 million contract, with an average annual salary of less than $7 million.

It stands to reason that the price is high-quality and low-priced, and as the only remaining member of the Pistons' top five, keeping one of them will help the team rebuild.

But that's not what the Pistons' management thinks. They have only one idea in mind right now: cut off the past.

In this year in history, they used Prince Gadaye's bargaining chip to replace Calderon, a 31-year-old veteran.

It's not that they think point guards get better as they get older, but because Calderon's contract expires in the summer, and they can clear up salary space in the summer.

So you can definitely feel how valuable Prince is to the Pistons' management.

You have to admire Riley's vision here, he discovered this keenly.

Although it is a pity to send Fields away, Fields has shown the strength of an NBA-level player.

But getting Prince is definitely worth it for the Knicks.

You can even feel that this is obviously prepared for Lin Ying.

Riley has clearly felt the threat posed by the Nets and began to make targeted reinforcements.

James can go against Lin Ying, but doing so is obviously not worth the gain.

On the contrary, switch to Prince, and James can fully devote himself to the offense.

Moreover, there was no news at all before this transaction, leaving no time for others to react.

It must be said that this transaction reflects Riley's level of "magical fortune telling".

After the deal was completed, Knicks fans were in high spirits.

"I'm going to cum, 6-star Knicks! Riley, please allow me to kneel down and call you grandpa!"

"The most exciting thing is that after the completion of this transaction, we also saved more than one million yuan in luxury tax. The fortune teller really lives up to his reputation!"

"Prince will be one of the best players to defend LinK. Think about how he defended T-ma back then. I love Riley!"

"The Nets and the Celtics are all in the background. This year's championship will definitely belong to the Knicks!"

"His Majesty the King's second championship and FMVP are coming soon, this is LeBron's era!"

…

"Saucy is really a bit saucy."

After Lin Ying finished teasing her baby, she was also surprised when she saw the news of the transaction.

Prince can indeed be said to be the best forward defensive player the Knicks can trade at this stage.

Prince, plus Bogut who is about to come back.

The Knicks' defense is much better than last season.

However, his competitive spirit was suddenly aroused.

When Jordan first came back, he didn't say he was depressed because he was defeated by the Magic. Instead, he found the motivation to play basketball again.

Although the Nets were not defeated by the Knicks last year, if such an opponent can be defeated, it will definitely make people climax.

We didn't meet him last year, but he really can't wait to meet the Knicks this year!

…

Time flies so fast, it’s already April.

After more than a season of fighting, the 2012~2013 regular season finally came to an end.

At the beginning of the season, due to injuries to Bogut and Yao Ming, the Knicks and Mavericks' records were not outstanding.

However, as the season progressed, they gradually regained their form, and with the two returning one after another, the two teams quickly rushed back to the top half of their respective divisions.

This makes the already complicated season even more unpredictable.

Finally, on April 17, the rankings of the East and West were finally settled.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers ended up with 63 wins, the same record as last year.

In fact, the situation of the Lakers is somewhat similar to that of the Nets. Their bench was also very short of players last season.

Therefore, although Gasol's condition has declined, the additions of Mayo and Bu Laiqie performed very well, and this record is reasonable.

The Thunder ranked second with 61 wins.

It is worth mentioning that Durant averaged 28.1 points, 7.9 points and 4.6 assists per game, with assists setting a career high.

He is also the favorite for MVP this season.

The Mavericks ranked third with 59 wins.

After Yao Ming's comeback, the Mavericks went on a ten-game winning streak, strongly demonstrating their strength as the defending champions.

And the backup lineup of Barea, Carter and Scola is hard to ignore just because they are one year older.

If it weren't for Yao Ming's injury at the beginning of the season, they would still be the leader of the Western Conference.

The Spurs are fourth with 58 wins.

Although the ranking is the same as last season, anyone who has watched the game will know that the Spurs will not be that easy to deal with this season.

Judging from their performance in double-killing the Nets, don't be surprised when they make it to the finals.

The Grizzlies rank fifth with 53 wins.

It's not that enemies don't get together, God gave the Spurs a chance for revenge, and it was double.

Of course, for the Grizzlies, they have another chance to revenge the Spurs.

And because Gay was not traded away like they did in history, the Grizzlies' current salary space is also relatively large.

So you can think that whether this is Gay's last season with the Grizzlies depends on whether they can make another upset this time.

The Clippers rank sixth in the Western Conference with 50 wins.

Griffin played a very exciting season. He averaged 24.1 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. The "White Monster" showed his sharpness.

The question now is how far he can lead this Clippers team in the playoffs.

The Warriors rank seventh in the Western Conference with 48 wins.

The Splash Brothers are really just a splash right now, but Mark Jackson has injected defensive DNA into this Warriors team.

And a very interesting hypothesis is that Xiao Hua has already resigned from the NBA. According to the current situation, it is an inevitable trend for Tatum to take over.

As the saying goes, each generation has its own versions of gods. Without Green and without the birth of rules, whether the small ball era can come to the Bay Area will be a big question mark.

The Jazz rank eighth in the Eastern Conference with 45 wins.

Gordon Hayward averaged 16.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Although he is slightly inferior to Paul George in the same class next door, he is also a rising star.

The first-round matchups in the Western Conference: Lakers VS Jazz, Thunder VS Warriors, Mavericks VS Clippers, Spurs VS Grizzlies;

Let’s focus on the east side again.

The Nets' performance after the All-Star Game has been very stable, which allowed them to finally achieve the league's first record of 66 wins and 16 losses!

It is worth mentioning that this also refreshed Sloan's best record in his coaching career.

His previous best record in his career came from the 1996~1997 season.

At that time, he led the Jazz to achieve the best record in team history with 64 wins. They were also first in the Western Conference and second in the league.

Who is number one in the league?

69-win Chicago Bulls.

Winning first place in the league is a small goal achieved for the Nets.

And they are different from the Warriors in history who struggled to win 73 games to break the historical record. Because of their excellent lineup depth, they actually won this victory in a relatively healthy and relaxed state.

In other words, they accomplished a small goal, but still had a greater chance of achieving a larger goal.

That big goal is what they really want to pursue when Sloan comes to Brooklyn.

Also because of the strength of the team's lineup, Lin Ying's statistics this season have dropped somewhat compared to last season.

He averaged only 25.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

However, correspondingly, his shooting percentage hit a career high, reaching 55.8%, and his three-point shooting percentage also reached 41.7%.

This is incredible for a player who plays as a small forward and also plays a lot of shooting.
