Before that four-party transaction, if the Wizards could get Kidd to form the three giants, their competitiveness would be no less than the Celtics.

Unfortunately, just like the Lakers' situation, the Wizards don't have much bargaining chips to play.

The only valuable Hamilton is the one who is completely uninterested in the Nets.

So despite destroying the Bulls' three-party transaction, he was unable to win Kidd back as he wished.

But strengthening must be strengthened, otherwise it would be obvious that with the current lineup, it would be a disadvantage to compete with the Celtics.

And you may not believe it if you say it, the Bulls are among the targets of the Wizards' deal this time!

Some people may say that if the Bulls who were killed by the Wizards lost Kobe, would the Bulls be willing?

In fact, there are interests among NBA teams.

Even mortal enemies like the Celtics and the Lakers have had trades in history, let alone other teams.

To make an inappropriate analogy, this is like a couple, no matter how quarrels or how much they are, at worst, can they still get away with it?

The deal happened again, which was related to the Pacers' sale before.

So, a three-party transaction was about to come out.

The Wizards sent Hamilton and a future second-round draft pick to get Ron Artest;

The Bulls sent out Danny Granger and PJ Brown, getting Hamilton and the second round from the Wizards;

The Pacers sent Artest and got Danny Granger and PJ Brown;

This transaction is all necessary for all three parties:

For the Wizards, their outside defense has always been a big problem. Nelson and Hamilton have limited defensive abilities, and often they can only rely on McGrady to block the eye. Getting Artest's defensive gate is a one-time and for all.

The risk for them is whether Artest, who is "notorious", can play well with Yao Mai.

As long as Yao and McGrady can subdue Artest, this deal will definitely be a reinforcement for the Wizards.

You should know that in addition to defense, Artes is also a 20-plus player at the peak offensive end. At the age of 27, he is more than enough to be a third leader;

For the Bulls, it is a pity that it was not possible to get Kobe, but it may not be a bad thing.

Their current lineup has shown competitiveness, and they played a 55-5 start with the Lakers at the beginning of the season.

The problem is that the team is too young and lacks sufficient stability in performance.

If Granger is replaced by Hamilton, it will be an upgrade to the team's combat effectiveness.

This will also give the team more room for operation in the future.

You should know that Granger joined the alliance with Paul, and the two of them will renew their contracts together.

The Bulls already have two major contracts, Chandler and Yi Jianlian, and it is unlikely that they will renew their contracts at the same time.

So if you replace Hamilton, who has stronger combat power and high cost-effective contracts, Klaus's operation can be regarded as a textbook.

Well, many new 2K players can’t play dynasty for a few years. Did they discover the truth in an instant?

As for the Wizards' second round, which had almost no trading value, I just thought it was the previous tone;

For the Pacers, this is also perfectly in line with their reconstruction plan.

They must know the benefits of Artest, but the previous fight incident had too much impact.

Whether it is for the Pacers or Artest himself, separation is a better choice;

Not long after the three-point deal broke out, it was soon officially announced by the league.

And then, news broke out that the Pacers were expected to buy out Jiang PJ Brown.

The Celtics are very interested in it and are expected to cut Van Horn and sign Brown.

One wave has not yet settled and another wave has started again. The news here has not stopped yet, and news has also emerged in the western region.

The Nuggets and the Celtics also reached a deal.

The Nuggets sent out the team's sixth man Boykins and got Deronti West from the Celtics.

This is also a transaction that each person needs to get.

Let’s talk about the Celtics first.

The Celtics have two purposes for this.

The most important thing is to strengthen the Rondo.

Although Rondo is still just a rookie, he has shown an unparalleled fit with the Big Three in limited games.

For the Celtics who don’t have much time to go in, the sooner they are to straighten Rondo, the more they are conducive to improving the team’s strength.

Secondly, he was attracted by Boykins' scoring ability.

Although Boykins is short, he has a strong scoring ability. This season he has contributed nearly 15 points on the Nuggets bench.

This is a good addition to the Celtics, who have weak scores in the backcourt.

Let’s talk about the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are also the "victim" of the previous four-party deal.

Like the Bulls, they started to start the alternative plan B after the plan A failed.

Smith's unstable attributes make him unable to show his strength in the starting lineup.

On the contrary, if he is allowed to enter the bench, it will be more conducive to his performance.

West is a typical 3D outside line, with three points, defense and no ball rights. It's the most suitable pairing with Iverson and James.

Moreover, the Nuggets' reinforcement is obviously not over yet. Strengthening the inside to compete with old opponents such as the Lakers and Spurs is still their target before the trade deadline.

The All-Star starts, and the transactions continue.

This season is destined to be different from previous years.

But you can also understand that this is a chain reaction brought about by Kobe's trading.

Kobe's trade has been settled, and the teams that have obtained and cannot get have started to strengthen the mode one after another.

Some people may say, what are the Lakers doing at this time?

Well, what should I do, just like Sun Hao’s previous mentality, I sat and watched the show.

In fact, if you take a look at the current lineup of the Lakers, the core is stable, the rotation is excellent, there are veterans and newcomers, and there is nothing short of anything.

If you can't change to a player like Artest who can bring substantial improvement, then maintaining the current lineup is the best choice.

If you remain unchanged, you will not improve your strength on paper, but if you remain unchanged, you will not need to re-run. The improvement of tacit understanding is also a kind of strength improvement.

With successive transactions, the first day of the All-Star Weekend also ended.

The first day was preheated, with only two games in the Celebrity and Rookie Games, and the venue was not at home Mark Center.

But it was this day that there was a big surprise for the fans.

In the rookie challenge, Du... It's not Durant, David Lee.

This college opponent who once made Yi Jianlian shout "He is at least interrupted in the first round" in the draft, scored 30 points and 11 rebounds in this game.

Not only was he elected as the rookie MVP, he also set a record of 100% shooting percentage.

As for our little coach, he also performed well in this game, making 14 of 20 shots and scoring the highest 32 points in the game.

However, the first-grade team lost a big score, so the MVP naturally missed him.

But it is interesting that Durant looked serious during the post-match interview, which means he is going to make a comeback next year.

Thinking of Oden's election next year, two people who were unable to run together due to the butterfly effect, I don't know what kind of sparks will be sparked in the rookie match as opponents.

The second day of the All-Star Weekend event attracted more attention than the first day.

Although Sun Hao did not play in the dunk contest again as Barkley expected, he would still attend the shooting star.

When he first participated in the competition two years ago, he made a bold statement, saying that he would say to O'Neal that there were no two or three in this event, but 4, 5, 6 or even more champions.

Now he has completed two consecutive championships in this event, and the next one is the Dynasty!

He will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

Of course, there is another interesting thing on this day.

Before the All-Star Game, when it was earlier than the four-party deal, the league had a hot topic.

Barkley and "Famous Whistle" Bavita's 100-meter match!

The loser will donate $5,000 to the charity.

I have to introduce Bavita here.

This is a referee who is more famous than "Bald" Crawford.

And his name is completely positive and positive.

He counted some things he knew about fans. He was accidentally hit by a player and was injured and returned to the fire for two days. Because the plane was grounded in the snow and snow, he drove directly to arrive on time under the snow and wind.
