NBA On the second day after the trade door opened, two blockbuster trades came. How to define the operation of the four teams? The Jazz woke up with a smile and the Crazy Wolf, the Green Army shot the Pacers on the beach.
1. Jazz 1 for 9 and Timberwolves complete the transaction.
Transaction content: The Jazz sent away Gobert and exchanged Beasley , Beverley , Kessler (the 22nd overall pick in this year's first round), Vanderbilt and Bolma from the Timberwolves. In addition to the five players, Luo also received the 2023, 25 and 27 unprotected draft picks, the top five protected draft picks in 2029, and the first-round swap rights in 2026, a blockbuster deal of 1 for 9.
The Jazz trade Gobert to the Timberwolves
1.The Jazz wake up with a smile.
Gobert is the best defensive inside man in the league. He has won the DPOY three times, which gives him a high trade value. However, the past playoffs confirmed that his offensive skills are nothing but eating cakes. The most basic Facing a player of Doncic's height, he cannot send the ball into the basket. Therefore, if he is exchanged for 9 players, the Jazz will really wake up laughing in their sleep. The four players acquired by
are Beasley, the 16th pick in the first round of 2016, who averaged 19.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 37 games two years ago; Vanderbilt, the 41st pick in the second round of 2018, Averaged 6.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last season, the league's new rebounding maniac; Beverley is the best perimeter defender in many years; this year's No. 22 pick Kesler's upper limit is estimated to be Cavaliers Allen's white Center, Borroma, the 23rd overall pick in 2022.
Left, Vanderbilt; right, Beasley
In addition to the above four practical players, note that the Jazz have almost wiped out the Timberwolves' draft picks in the next 6 years, including 5 first-round picks and 3 not. How much is a protected draft pick worth? Fans have not forgotten that when Harden was traded to the Nets last year, he only got 4 first-round picks. The other 4 picks were first-round swap rights. The picks Gobert exchanged were comparable to Harden. , the Jazz really made a lot of money.
After the above analysis, if an inside man Gobert, who has limited offensive capabilities and is not suitable for the league's new style of play, is exchanged for four practical players and four first-round picks, will the Jazz wake up laughing while sleeping?
2. Crazy wolf.
We cannot directly define the Timberwolves as suffering a loss, but using the word "crazy" to define it is never an exaggeration.
1. Just returned to the playoffs last season, do they have hope of winning the championship? To be honest, in the Wild West, it is still difficult for them to reach this level, but the team has paid the future chips as mentioned above and bet on Gobert to increase the ceiling. It is really crazy!
2. The combination of Gobert and Towns is the first "Mr. 200 Million" combination in NBA history. It is also a pair of inside combinations, and each has its own shortcomings (Downs' defense, Gobert's offense). You will see it when you look at it. Feel crazy.
Crazy Timberwolves
3. The Timberwolves' lineup for the new season will make people crazy. Gobert plays five, Towns plays four, and Daniels plays three. The heights of the three are 216, 211, and 206 centimeters respectively. Plus, they are 193. With the tall Huazi and Shuila, when the Timberwolves face any team, they will say, "Hey, welcome to the country of giants!"
From a personal perspective, the Timberwolves have spent such a huge amount of chips to build a team without any standards. The teams that measure up, itâs crazy.
2. The Celtics (referred to as the Green Army) reached a 6-for-1 deal with the Pacers.
lost to the Warriors in the finals. The biggest problem of the Green Army is the lack of a qualified defender to organize the team. Therefore, the team's first task in the offseason is to find a high-quality brain; the Pacers are rebuilding, cloth Rogdon was put on the shelf last season, so the two teams reached the following deal:
Brogdon, a high-quality 3D defender
The Green Army got Brogdon at the price of: Theis, Nesmith, and three two-way players. Contract players Nick Stauskas , Malik, Fitz and Juwan Morgan also include a 2023 first-round draft pick. Stevens also showed his performance after being promoted to the front office. Showing his wisdom, he slapped the walker on the beach.
1.The Green Army gets the perfect puzzle.
Brogdon, a tall point guard with a height of 196cm, a weight of 104kg and a wingspan of 210cm. In addition to averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game last season, note that he also has the following two "characteristics":
A, Brogdon career So far, he has averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game with a 36.5% shooting rate. His shots are very reasonable, he never attacks blindly, and he has a rare rational brain.
B, Brogdon's size and wingspan give him the top defensive ability on the league's back line.
With the above two characteristics, Brogdon is defined as an advantageous "3D" point guard. Even judging from his toughness in playing and introverted personality, he has a bit of an old "old Celtic" character, which is perfect. Meets the needs of the Green Army.
The Green Army lacks a qualified point guard
2. The Pacers only received 2 potential stocks and 30 million salary space.
From the Celtics to the Rockets, and back to the Celtics again, Theis has gradually been marginalized; with three two-way contract players, you know that there is no immediate help for the Pacers; the only return the team has received is in 2020 Nemeth, the No. 14 pick in the first round, the 2023 first-round pick, and the 30 million salary space that can be freed up by the above players.
From the asking price last season to the present, the Pacers have only received the above return, which gives people a bad intuition, because people are afraid of competition, and horses are afraid of riding; compared with the Jazz who exchanged Gobert for 4 people + 5 first-round picks , what a huge loss. Therefore, it should be very appropriate to use the Green Army to shoot the Pacers on the beach to define the transaction between the two teams.
Conclusion: In the two blockbuster transactions that took place last night, the Green Army won in the present and the Jazz won in the future; the Timberwolves went blind and crazy, and the Pacers continued to march on the road of reconstruction, that's all.
