On November 17, Beijing time, after the NBA opened the trading market at 1 a.m., the NBA ushered in several major transactions. First, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns 2 for 5, sending Paul to the Suns, the West The fish belly changed and became a strong team of the Big Three.
But the transaction did not end there, it just started.
Rockets and Trail Blazers trade
According to ESPN reporter Adrian Wonalowski, the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers traded, the Rockets sent Covington, exchanged for Trevor Ariza and 2020 The first-round pick with the 16th overall pick and a future protected first-round pick.
For the Blazers, the deal can be described as 3 for 1. Covington is the top 3D player in active service. He can play at position 3 and at position 4. With three-pointers and defense, the average data per game this season is 12.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, 43.2% of the field goal percentage, 34.9% of the three-point field goal percentage, it can be described as excellent offense and defense!
Covington’s arrival has strengthened the Blazers’ long-standing weak wing defense, and Covington also has a three-pointer, which makes the Blazers’ lineup more balanced and both offensive and defensive. If you sign Melo Anthony, the Blazers The lineup is too powerful. The back line has double guns, the strike line has Anthony and Covington, and the inside line has Nurkic. This lineup can play against those championship teams!
For the Rockets, the trade of Covington has heralded the start of rebuilding. Covington is an important player in the Rockets' championship lineup. Now sending him away means that Wei Shao and Harden will also be affected in the near future. Take it away, the Harden era of the Houston Rockets is coming to an end! In addition to the above transaction, there was another heavyweight transaction that was successful. The New Orleans Pelicans and the Milwaukee Bucks completed the transaction. The Bucks sent out Bledsoe, Hill and three firsts. Round pick, got Holiday! The Bucks formed a lineup of Holiday, Antetokounmpo and Middleton. This lineup is enough for the Bucks to compete for the championship! For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo has already stated that the premise of staying in the Bucks is that the team management must do something. Now that the Bucks have traded to Holiday, Antetokounmpo must remain with the Bucks.
Holiday is 30 years old, his contract is two years away, and his salary is 26.3 million US dollars and 27.2 million US dollars. For the Milwaukee Bucks, Holiday is still very profitable.
For the Pelicans, it is very profitable to get Bledsoe and Hill and three first-round picks. Bledsoe and Hill can choose one as the team's backup point guard, and the other can be traded. And the 3 first round picks are really too profitable for the Pelicans!
The Bucks and the Pelicans traded like this. The Bucks used such a generous bargaining chip to trade to Holiday, which virtually increased the difficulty of the Nets trading to Harden! At the same time, the Lone Ranger was also very interested in Holiday, but the Pelicans did not want to send Holiday to the Western Conference, so they chose the Milwaukee Bucks.
Personal opinion
At present, the NBA has fallen into a chaotic era. Less than a day after the opening of the trading market, two Big Three teams have been born, and stars such as Harden, Wei Shao and DeRozan may also be traded. The next NBA will be even more sudden!
