seems to have entered a period of silence during the NBA offseason. The expected trade of Durant and Irving has been met with heavy thunder and rain, but Mitchell 's trade has been opened up because of the Jazz management's lion. , so that and are discouraged and need to wait for further negotiations.
And this past night, NBA came out with 4 hot topics. The 76ers were investigated by the league for suspected recruiting violations. The Lakers refused to trade a new star Beverley , Caruso praised the Rockets for their talent, Gobert trade Being complained about. Next, letâs take a look at the detailed news:
1. Gobertâs trade was criticized
According to the famous reporter Windhorst: Many people in the league are complaining about Gobertâs trade. They think the Jazz got everything, Danny Angie (Jazz general manager) changed the game again.
In this transaction, the Jazz received 5 players, 4 first-round picks, and a first-round swap right. Among them, only 2029 is top-five protected, and the other first-round picks are unprotected.
It is this kind of transaction that instantly increases the return expectations of various teams for trading stars, especially the Nets . Therefore, they believe that Durant's transaction deserves more returns than Gobert, which leads to Durant's return. After shocking the league with his trade request, there was no substantial progress.
It is not difficult to imagine that in future star transactions, the team that sends away the star will obviously use Gobert's trading standards to hollow out the other party.
2. Caruso praised the Rockets' talent. Top
Bulls player Caruso talked about the team he is most looking forward to next season in a recent interview. He said that he is most optimistic about the Rockets.
Caruso said: "I really want to see the performance of some of the Rockets players, Kevin Porter Jr. , Jaylen Green, Smith, Christopher, and then there is a big man, I don't remember his name. , but he is the MVP (Shen Jing) of the Turkish League."
"I think they are very young now and have not fully evolved. They don't know where their upper limit is. I really want to see what they will do next. They have the best talent in the world."
can see , Caruso has very high expectations for the Rockets. In fact, the Rockets' current talent is indeed very high, but whether they can transform this talent into on-court performance and perform as expected remains to be verified. We'll see.
3. The Lakers refused to trade one player for Beverley
After the Irving trade stalled, the Lakers also started other actions. According to previous media reports, the Lakers intend to introduce Beverley, who had just been traded to the Jazz. This defensive champion is considered to be able to change the Lakers' backcourt defensive problems, but if they want to get Beverley, the Lakers need to pay a certain amount of chips for it.
But according to Marc Stein, the Lakers are not pushing for Horton-Tucker to trade for Beverley.
This means that the Lakers refused to trade Tucker Jr. for Beverley, and still regarded Tucker Jr. as one of the young stars that the team can rely on in the future. Unless other stars or quasi-star players can be traded, the Lakers are not willing to give away this talented new star for Beverley.
4. The 76ers were investigated for suspected recruitment violations
After the league announced an investigation into the Knicks' signing of Brunson, the 76ers were not immune. According to media reports, the league has begun investigating the 76ers because they signed PJ Tucker for suspected illegal recruitment.
Before the free market opened, the media revealed that the 76ers would have a good chance to sign PJ Tucker. Even the contract amount and length of the contract between the two parties were reported relatively accurately by the media. One minute after Tucker officially became a free agent, his agent announced the news.
After Tucker jumped out of his contract, many teams competed, including his old club Heat . However, after Tucker played there for a season and failed in the Eastern Conference finals, he did not choose to stay with the team, which surprised the outside world. Since then, it has been reported that the 76ers are Tucker's potential next home, and in order to help the team introduce Tucker, Harden deliberately chose to jump out of the contract and reduce his salary to renew.
We are waiting for the league to announce the final results of the investigation. Judging from past illegal recruitment cases, if the 76ers are ultimately confirmed to have violated the rules, they are likely to be fined by the league.
