The Raptors have put Rudy Gay on the shelf, DeMar DeRozan has been in hot form recently, and they are ready to cultivate a new core.

The combination of DeRozan and Kyle Lowry will open a new chapter for the Raptors.

The Heat ranked eighth with 20 wins and 21 losses.

Although it started well, as the season progressed, the Heat's record continued to decline, and the management was losing patience with Anthony.

However, Anthony is quite happy. His average of 29.2 points per game is higher than Durant. Following Lin Ying, he is expected to compete for the second scoring title in his career.

In the Western Conference, the Spurs ranked first with 33 wins and 8 losses.

The Spurs' success in this "Overture of the Dead" was unexpected. They have mastered the "Hammer Tactics" and brought team basketball to the extreme.

Five players on the team scored in double figures, and two others averaged 9+ points per game. Parker, who scored the most, only scored 16 points. This scene has never been seen before.

The Thunder ranked second behind the Spurs with 32 wins and 9 losses.

Durant averages 29 points per game. This year's competition for the scoring title will revolve around Lin Ying, Anthony and Durant, and it will be very fierce.

The Lakers ranked third with 29 wins and 12 losses.

The combination of D'Antoni and the Lakers is not as good as imagined, but it doesn't seem to be that bad.

Of course, the best news is that Kobe did not play as high a load as in history, nor did he suffer an Achilles tendon injury.

The Mavericks ranked fourth with 27 wins and 14 losses.

The Mavericks are very active in the trade market and are very interested in Rondo from the Celtics.

But that's only to the extent that you are interested in Liu Yifei.

The Trail Blazers ranked fifth with 25 wins and 16 losses.

The Warriors are ranked sixth with a record of 23 wins and 18 losses.

Bay Area media began to express some dissatisfaction with Mark Jackson, believing that he did not develop the team's offensive talents.

The Grizzlies ranked seventh with 21 wins and 21 losses.

The Clippers ranked eighth with 20 wins and 21 losses.

So far, the Clippers' performance is not as good as last season, and they are also a very active team in the trade market.

At this point in time, fans who "hold shares" can start exchanging shares again.

Obviously, the New York duo in the East have the greatest hope, while in the West, the Spurs, Thunder and Lakers are the three strongest teams.

And other teams are obviously not willing to do this, and trade rumors are now flying everywhere.

…

At the end of the day's training, Dean Walken took Lin Ying to the office to chat about things.

"You mean, the Knicks want to trade me?"

Hearing what Walken Dean said, Lin Ying was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and then couldn't help laughing.

It's kind of interesting.

"It's not Pat Riley, it's someone under him, but it shouldn't make any difference."

Walken Dean isn't stupid either.

"Why don't you go to LeBron?"

Lin Ying put himself into the transaction.

There is no need to be overconfident in this, as the alliance's bargaining chips to replace him are very limited now.

It's a bit similar to the situation when Howard was the only one who could replace James alone. James should be the only one who can replace him alone now.

Or it can be understood that the transaction value is approximately the same, but it is basically impossible to exchange it.

"Yes, it's LeBron, and adding a first-round pick means your value is higher."

Walken Dean said with a smile.

Lin Ying thought for a while and then said:

"Is Pat Riley that stupid? Or is he just trying to mess with our mentality?"

His idea is very reasonable, because the Nets have no reason to change.

The Big Three didn't even beat the Nets last year, and they were beaten by the Nets in the Christmas game this year. Unless Walken Dean is possessed by Rob Pelinka, it seems stupid to think about it.

Not to mention that James' current transaction value is at its lowest, because next summer will be his personal player option.

Howard went to the Heat for half a year and finally left, leaving the Heat still unable to recover.

That was a bloody lesson.

Even from the Knicks' point of view, they have worked so well together this season and are more likely to win the championship than any other year in the past, so there is no reason to ask this question.

If he hadn't been familiar enough with Walken Dean, he would have suspected that the management was using this method to show favor to him and wanted him to renew his contract in advance.

Speaking of which, his contract also has a player option in the summer of 2015.

"You may not understand how eager Pat Riley is to coach Michael. At least now it seems that he has a greater chance of coaching you than Michael did."

Walken Dean gave a very reasonable explanation.

Riley is a good fortune teller and would not make such a mistake under normal circumstances, but he could not overcome his inner knot.

Everyone has something they want to get, and in order to get that, they often don’t think about so many things.

Lin Ying nodded.

This does make sense.

"I think this is an opportunity for us."

Warken Dean said.

"Um?"

Lin Ying looked at him curiously.

"I want to get the news out, so that the Knicks will be in chaos."

Walken Dean, this is a bit of a bad idea.

Especially at this juncture when James' contract option is about to expire.

This is equivalent to changing direction and sending a wave of assists for James to leave the Knicks.

"Good idea."

Lin Ying smiled and nodded.

The Knicks are the Nets' main rival in the Eastern Conference. Even if they don't succeed, it will cause bad blood between Riley and James.

Grit is like planting a seed in the heart. It will slowly take root and sprout, and eventually become a tree with full weight.

…

The time has come to the end of January, and after four rounds of All-Star voting, the 2014 All-Star substitute lists and individual event lists have all been released.

East: James, Irving, George, Anthony, Lin Ying.

Eastern Substitute: Deron, Harden, Wade, DeRozan, Bosh, Hibbert, Howard

West: Curry, Kobe, Durant, Griffin, Yao Ming

Western Conference Substitutes: Paul, Westbrook, Parker, Love, Nowitzki, Aldridge, Anthony Davis

In terms of individual competitions.

Three-Point Contest: Afflalo, Bradley Beal, Irving, Korver, Marco Belinelli, Curry, Harden, Love.

Slam Dunk Contest: Lin Ying, JR Smith, Paul George, Terrence Ross.

This year's three-point contest has a gathering of superstars, and Lin Ying participated in the dunk contest, which suddenly brought attention back.

Especially the dunk contest.

Compared to James who always says he will participate if given the chance, but always ignores it, Lin Ying's straightforward character is still endearing to people.

And he has also had many performance dunks in the past two years.

In addition, he also revealed in front of the media that he would bring a super assistant with him in the dunk contest.
