On the first day of the opening of the free market in the United States, it was reported that two A-star stars, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, joined hands with each other to join the Nets, and the ecology of the powerful forces in the East District may have a new pattern.
Nets' record for the last season was 42 wins and 40 losses, with a low winning rate of 50% and ranked 6th in the East. Unexpectedly, they took two big fishes in the free market, including Durant and Irving, the penalty area "goal god" Jordan (DeAndre Jordan), and lost only the main point guard D'Angelo Russell, and their combat strength increased instead of decreasing. In addition, the team's physique was not bad, so there will be a good opportunity to challenge the front class of the East next season.
However, the Nets also bear great risks. The main reason is that Durant left the court early after only 12 minutes in the fifth game of the championship game of this year due to a ruptured Achilles tendon on his right foot. It is generally expected that at least one year of rehabilitation period will be needed. Even if he returns with full health, he will be able to recover from the peak period. However, he and Irving and Jordan join forces in New York will bring unlimited imagination space to this long-standing weak team.
Bucks were the top seed in the league last season and the No. 1 team in the East. At present, they have almost left a complete main lineup, only losing double-seater Malcolm Brogdon. Their combat power was not seriously damaged and they are still a popular candidate for the throne of the East.
In contrast, the trend of the main striker Kawhi Leonard, which won the first championship in the team history this year, is still unknown. If the rumor is as rumored, "forwarding west" to join the powerful Lakers or Speedboats, the combat effectiveness of the Tyrannosaurus will be greatly reduced, and the road to defending the title will also be further setbacks; if he decides to stay, the Tyrannosaurus will not only be expected to stay in the championship team, but will also be an indicator team in the East.
As for the third third in the East District 76ers , as long as the technical problems are solved, star guard Butler (Jimmy Butler) is expected to join the Heat, and top scorer JJ Redick also defected to the Pelicans with a gun. The 76ers only dug up power forward Horford (Al Horford) from Celtic. Judging from the books alone, the combat power of the 76ers has dropped slightly, but the lack of peripheral artillery fire in the formation is a big concern, and subsequent integration is very important.
In the free market battle this summer, Seltic may be the team that has suffered the most in the top four in the East District. Irving and Horford have successively left one after another. Even if the Hornets' main controller Kemba Walker is involved, it still cannot make up for the losses of the two good players running away.
