NBA preseason has started, each team adjusts and finds the state in the game, the veterans adjust their bodies, and the rookies adapt to the NBA rhythm, just for better performance in the regular season.
However, in this convergent time period, everything is not so smooth, the transaction is still going on, and the controversy is still happening. Recently, the NBA has once again reported a number of news : Harden and have made new progress in the trade, the Lakers lay off a guard, and Owen made a compromise.
Harden's trade gains new developments
Even though the Rockets trade comes to the former champion Wall, Harden is determined to go and expand the potential next home to four teams- Nets, Bucks , 76 Renhe Heat , just to go one step further from the championship and grab the tail of the peak period. After all, he is 31 years old, but his playing style is not so popular.
Currently, the Rockets are actively advancing related transactions. According to a former BR reporter, the Rockets offered the 76ers a bargaining chip for "this- Simmons + 3 first round picks", but the 76ers were unwilling to add Simmons Come to the transaction.
At the same time, the Rockets also communicated with the Nets, but were not interested in the Nets' offer of "balance players + draft picks", and the two sides fell into a deadlock. Harden's farce is still going on. The Rockets want more, after all, they are among the top 5 players in the league; and potential next players don't want to put their star in the trade and break the core of the original lineup. Harden was caught in a dilemma. It seemed that he was the only one embarrassed, unable to stay or leave.
The Lakers lay off a guard
Compared to other teams’ "farce", the Lakers are much smoother here. The off-season operations are quite beautiful. The two superstars- James and Davis -have long contracts. The rotation lineup has taken another step. The first two games of the preseason were double-kills of the same city's Clippers and . The atmosphere in the dressing room was excellent, and it seemed that all the preparations for the start were made.
However, the Lakers also encountered happiness troubles. There were too many players in the team and they had to lay off guard Zavier Simpson. Earlier, the Lakers signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Simpson, who lost the 2020 draft. Z3z
last season, Simpson averaged 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.9 assists, shooting 47.6% from the field and 36% from the three-point range.
Compared to last season, the Lakers' overall lineup is more complete and their strength has improved. The two sixths- Harrell and Schroder -are worth looking forward to, and Gasol's organizational support ability will Revitalizing the second team, James has the opportunity to get plenty of rest.
defends the title, the Lakers are serious!
Irving made a compromise
Recently, Irving can be said to have earned enough eyeballs and turned into a "big mouth", but his emotional intelligence is really worrying, and he is sweating for Durant. Not long ago, Irving announced the media blockade this season and will not accept media interviews, but then received a fine of $25,000 from the league.
Recently, Owen compromised with the league and has honestly accepted media interviews, but I hope he really wants to understand. After all, interviews are a must in the NBA.
In the first preseason game, the Nets double stars- Irving and Durant -joined forces to make an appearance, and the state is extremely good enough to surprise the league. At present, Irving and Durant have a chance to subvert the East together, but if they want to hit the championship, the two must make a choice and sort out the positions of the boss and the second.
