Two days ago, the Los Angeles Lakers completed their first blockbuster trade of the offseason. They sent Danny Green to the Thunder for a young Schroder. After learning that he was traded by the Lakers, Green was very frustrated. He said that just because I missed a three-pointer in the Finals, they thought I couldn't do it. Am I not as good as that guy? Unexpectedly, now, Green is traded again.
According to the NBA's famous Waugh, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Thunder have completed a blockbuster deal. The 76ers sent the insider Horford +1 first-round pick + one second-round pick to the Thunder. The 76ers got Danny Green + Ferguson from the Thunder. This is a win-win deal.
Oklahoma City got 2 more draft picks + sent Green to get insider Horford. Horford signed a four-year contract with the 76ers in the summer of 2019 with a total value of $109 million. His average data last season was 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. . The combination of his twin towers and Embiid did not achieve the results expected by the 76ers. In the next three years, Horford's annual salary will be around $25 million.
The Thunder are in the next big game and now have a lot of picks. Earlier news said that the Thunder are ready to send Adams away. With Horford joining the Thunder, it now appears that Adams leaving the Thunder is a high probability event. Let's look at Danny Green, who was traded for the second time in three days. He went straight from Los Angeles in the far west to Philadelphia in the far east. However, for Green, the Thunder's second trade may be a good thing for him, because he has the opportunity to prove himself again.
In the eyes of many fans, Green's performance in the playoffs is very bad, but he can still get a stable playing time, and several games are the highest plus-minus players on the field. The reason is that Green's defense, the role of defense can not be demonstrated with conventional data, fans value scoring.
Now it seems that the goal of the 76ers next season is to hit the finals. The 76ers All-Star guard Simmons's shooting is very bad, so Green will get a lot of shots, especially the chance to shoot three-pointers. In the 2018-2019 season, the Raptors have Leonard and Lowry, and Green is the team's third scorer. The season just ended, the Lakers have thick eyebrows + James, he is also the third scorer.
is different in the 76ers, because Simmons's shooting is too bad, Green may become the team's second scorer. It now appears that Green can start preparing to move.
