NBA Big Devil: I rule the league with defense

After the All-Star Weekend, all the players returned to their respective teams. During the last rest day, most of them would not choose to train, but held their mobile phones in different places, waiting for the trade deadline. The last moment of the day is coming!

This is an extremely important day for all NBA teams!

For teams that want to compete for the championship, this is the last chance to strengthen!

For teams looking to avoid taxes, this is the last chance to save money!

For the team that wants to pick up the leak, this is an opportunity to buy a lottery ticket!

Compared with NBA teams that have the initiative, players are much more passive, especially for many marginal players. At this point in time, they are another peak period of unemployment.

And for those veterans who still have excellent strength, but do not match the strength of the current contract, this is a good opportunity!

As long as there is a slight concession on the contract, if the team agrees to buy out, it is very likely to bring yourself a chance to win the championship!

The probability of this is much greater than the probability of joining a team with a big contract to compete for the championship!

Of course, the premise must be not bad money!

Because for most veterans, as long as they receive their first veteran basic salary, it is very likely that they will continue to receive a basic salary for the rest of their careers!

Of course, unless you give up the big contract at the age of 28 or 29, apply for a buyout, and then go to the free market after winning the championship with a basic salary, this may also be able to get rid of the curse of the basic salary.

But people who operate in this way either have serious physical injuries or serious brain diseases!

The former is called rebirth from Nirvana, and the latter should go to a mental hospital.

Remaining until the trade deadline: 12 hours!

The trading market that has been calm has gradually turned some waves:

Toronto Raptors trade guard Jermaine Jackson to Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a second-round pick!

The Atlanta Hawks traded Nazr Mohamed to the New York Knicks for Antonio Harvey and Matt Malilong!

The Cleveland Cavaliers traded Terry Brown to the Chicago Bulls for some cash.

……

Except for the trade of some marginal players, and some teams with no hope of hitting the playoffs choose to save money, there is no commendable deal to see.

This year's trading market seems to be ending so uneventfully.

But everyone knows that a truly wonderful deal must be saved until the last moment of the deal deadline to actually land!

2 hours left until the trade deadline:

The Kings, Spurs, and Pacers complete a three-way deal:

The Indiana Pacers traded Brad Miller for Scott Pollard, Danny Ferry and a first-round pick.

The Sacramento Kings traded Scott Pollard and Hedo Turkoglu for Brad Miller.

The San Antonio Spurs paid Danny Ferry for a first-round pick in Hedo Turkoglu.

The Indiana Pacers got two rotation players and a first-round pick in exchange for Brad Miller, who was destined to be unable to keep.

The Kings took precautions and found perhaps the most ideal successor in the NBA for the aging Divac.

And San Antonio almost only paid the price of a draft pick to get a talented all-around striker seedling.

This transaction can be said to have benefited the three parties, and if you re-examine this transaction from a future perspective, you can't find any faults.

But this is not the focus of Han Mo's attention. Han Mo knows that the deal in his heart is coming soon!

Sure enough, another hour passed!

There is less than 1 hour left before the trading deadline!

The Philadelphia 76ers traded Art Long to the Washington Wizards for a second-round pick for Charles Oakley.

76ers, Celtics, Rockets three-way deal reached:

76ers pay 2003 first-round pick, 2005 first-round pick, three second-round picks, Michael Olowokandi, Mark Bryant

Received: Yao Ming, Glenn Rice

The Rockets pay Yao Ming, Glenn Rice.

Acquired: 76ers 2003,2005, 2003 first-round picks, Celtics [-] first-round picks, three second-round picks, Vin Baker.

The Boston Celtics paid Vin Baker, a 2003 first-round pick, for Michael Olowokandi and Mark Bryant.

The Boston Celtics traded All-Star center Vin Baker, who started drinking all day long after signing a big contract, for a younger, cheaper Mike Olowokandi and head-on Mark Bryant.

The Rockets exchanged Yao Ming for three first-round picks and three second-round picks. It can be said that they have won the future. For a rebuilding team like the Rockets, a big garbage contract like Vin Baker is one year more than one year less. Not a problem.After releasing the salaries of Yao Ming and Glenn Rice, although Vin Baker's salary is higher, the Rockets can still easily keep the total salary below the luxury tax.

The 76ers finally got their wish to acquire Yao Ming after paying the price of all the future. Yao Ming's injury estimate will not be paid until the Eastern Conference Finals at the earliest.Therefore, in order to cope with the remaining schedule, the 76ers traded the young Art Long for the experienced and extremely fierce Charles Oakley to temporarily top the inside line.At the same time, in exchange for the long-established striker Glenn Rice in the deal with the Rockets.

The two newly acquired players have extremely rich experience in the playoffs and a strong playing style, but the flaw lies in: age.

Charles Oakley is about to turn 40 and Glenn Rice is 36.

Although both of them were ruthless characters in their peak years, how much fuel is left now?

But then again, if they were young, they wouldn't be able to get them for such a small price!

The first game of the All-Star Game is here!

Charles Oakley and Glen Rice are still unable to play, and Yao Ming is still recovering from his injury in Houston, and the 76ers have yet to report.

But Han Mo could already hear Yao Ming's excitement from the phone call with him.

"Hey, buddy, if I knew that I could come to the 76ers to kill me this year, I wouldn't have the surgery!"

Han Mo responded with a smile: "Brother, if you hadn't resolutely performed the operation, I'm afraid this deal would not be possible!"
