On September 3, Beijing time, when I woke up, Nets fans should be happy! First, veteran Millsap officially signed with the Nets. This four-time All-Star forward finally chose the Nets among many interested teams; second, Aldridge has obtained the permission of the doctor to continue his career, and the Nets are still in the lead position to get him.
A few days ago, when veteran Rondo bought out and returned to the Lakers, we were all teasing the Lakers' lineup. Although he was a little older, he was full of star flavor. Data website ESPN Stats & Info posted data, the Lakers have 7 former All-Stars, including James, Davis, Westbrook, Anthony, Howard, Rondo and Gasol Jr., and in the history of the NBA, there has never been a situation where seven All-Stars play for a team.
But just a few days later, the Nets competed with the Lakers and were about to become the second team in history to have 7 All-Stars at the same time. These include Durant, Irving, Harden, Griffin, Millsap, Jordan Jr. and Aldridge. (As long as Aldridge is confirmed to return to the NBA, I think he has the greatest hope of joining the Nets, after all, he cooperated very happily last season)
In view of this situation, the US media "ClutchPoints" posted a composite photo of the Lakers All-Star player and the Nets All-Star player on social media, and wrote a post to joke: "2022 All-Star/Laughing and Crying Expression". Seeing this, I have to admit that the charm of this championship is so great.
In the current NBA league, the fact that the stars have two or two together has become a necessary condition for success. Because the Lakers have won the championship experience of the James + Davis combination and got Westbrook's trade, they instantly became one of the biggest favorites to win the championship, so they attracted veterans like Anthony, Howard and Rondo to join; and because of the combination of Durant + Irving + Harden, the Nets are so terrifying that a healthy Nets are, I believe everyone also saw it last season, so they have become another biggest favorite to win the championship.
At present, can the 7V7 All-Star War be staged? The biggest suspense is where Aldridge will go? Where is Jordan Jr.? Where will Gasol go?
