In the deal with the Lakers, the Grizzlies got Mark Hill, Kwame Brown, and Pachulia three inside players to balance the contract, as well as two first-round picks in 08 and 10, and the first-round pick in 09. swap rights in return.

But in fact, for the Grizzlies, the real valuable assets are only two first-round picks and third-year blue-collar insiders Mark Hill, Kwame Brown and Pachulia, not in the Grizzlies long-term plan.

However, your arsenic, my honey, Kwame Brown, who has height, strength, top defense, and rebounding skills, has never lacked a market in the league. The Grizzlies are willing to put him in the trade. The Raptors immediately joined the trade.

After the introduction of Lewis, the Raptors formed the league's softest striker combination of "Lewis + Bosh + Barryani".Obviously, the team needs a "dirty job". Originally, their preferred object was Anderson of the Eagles, but Ke Yan did not intend to trade away his "confidant".

Kwame Brown's offensive skills are too rough, and it is not easy to eat cakes, but from a blue-collar point of view, it is still useful. After breaking away from a superstar like Kobe who is extremely strict with his teammates, he came to Toronto, which is relatively relaxed. The environment might also lighten Brown's heavy psychological burden.From this perspective, the Raptors' potential benefits from this deal are very high!

Especially when the chip they paid was only Kapono, and when they gave up the right to swap the team with the Eagles in the first round of the 0708 season, getting Kwame Brown to supplement the inside line is simply "for nothing"!

You must know that this swap right itself is impossible to fulfill. The Eagles record is far better than the Raptors, and the draft pick must be behind the Raptors. Exercising the "swap right" is equivalent to giving benefits to the Eagles.

But they gave up this swap right in the transaction, but they liberated the Eagles!Let the Eagles have something other than players in this deal.

Both the Grizzlies and Raptors are willing to facilitate the deal, and neither the Eagles nor the Bulls resist the deal. After mediation by several parties, the main plan of the deal was basically released.

Hawks send: Gasol Jr. rights, Brandon Bass, Karim Rush, Prigioni; Receive: Sefolosha, Shannon Brown, Hakim Warik, and unblocked The team's first-round pick in 08.

The Grizzlies sent: Kwame Brown, Hakim Warrick, David Navarro, the Lakers' 10-year first-round pick; got: the right to sign Gasol Jr., Brandon Bass, Kapono, Pu Reggioni.

The Raptors gave up the first-round swap rights with the Eagles in 08 and sent: Garbajosa, Kapono; got Kwame Brown, Karim Rush.

The Bulls sent: Sefolosha, Shannon Brown; got Garbajosa, David Navarro, and the Lakers' 10-year first-round pick.

On January 1, this big deal involving 11 teams and 4 players was reported to the league, and media reporters also learned the content of the deal in the first place!

As early as when the Grizzlies and the Lakers completed the deal, media reporters guessed that the Grizzlies deal was not over yet, and the team had accumulated a large number of insiders. At the same time, Gasol's departure also made Nava, who is also a Spaniard Luo Xinsheng cares about it.In this case, it is inevitable for the team to continue to operate!

It's just that no one expected the Grizzlies to make such a big commotion!The deal has also sparked heated debate in the league.

TNT's Barkley explained the trade on the show:

"In my opinion, the main purpose of the Eagles to make this deal is to improve the team's flank defense! This season, the Eagles' flank defense has obvious loopholes, and they have been blasted by many outside stars one after another! Losing Stevens After that, the team couldn't improve the team's defensive intensity as quickly as last season! Sefolosha is an underrated defender, and I think he can play a better defensive role than Stevens! Whether it is He can play his role against Ray Allen and Stojakovic in the playoffs, or against Kobe and Ginobili in the finals."

"Sacrificing Brandon Bass might have been tough for Ke Yan, but Larry Sander brought Warrick back to him. This young player has a similar size to Bass, a similar style of play, a similar The experience, the two even entered the league in the same year! I think Warrick might be able to take over Bass' role and do it even better."

After completing a wave of deals, rating deals is also the media’s favorite thing to do, and this time is no exception.In this wave of transactions, the Eagles got a high score of A. From all angles, the media couldn't find where the Eagles "lost money".

Even the Boston media, which is hostile to the Eagles, can only say that the Eagles are missing Prigioni. Once Paul is injured, there will be no guard who can control the field.

Well, this is indeed a hidden danger.But if you use this standard, the 73-win Warriors + Durant have flaws!

The Grizzlies got a C+ rating. It's an exaggeration to say that the media and fans don't know what they got for this deal?It seems that the only valuable gain is Brandon Bass, but he has a similar style of play to Millsap, and he can't be used together. What's the point of trading?

Except for Ke Yan and the Grizzlies management itself, most people would not have thought that the real goal of the Grizzlies is to "trade and add" Gasol Jr.

The Raptors' trade score is B+, which is not difficult to understand. After Lewis joined, the playing time of Kapono and Garbajosa was greatly reduced, and the value of the draft swap with the Eagles was also "0". Gambling on Kwame Brown's potential with chips may not necessarily make you a profit, but you will definitely not lose money!

The Bulls get a "B" rating, which isn't bad.Sefolosha has the potential to become a defensive champion, but the Bulls themselves are "defense strong and attack weak". The use of players like Sefolosha at the key position of shooting guard will only amplify the problem. The Spanish double stars join together, so that they can Being with each other, and secondly, it can lubricate the Bulls' rough offense.

Fans and the media respectively expressed their views on the transaction results.In the eyes of the head coaches of several strong teams, the Hawks' deal was aimed at themselves.

Phil Jackson, for example, spoke during training.Ke Yan was afraid of meeting the Lakers in the finals, so he made this deal to prepare more manpower to target Kobe.

"Since the opponents recognize us so much, we have to believe in ourselves even more! We can rush out of the West, and Kobe can't be restricted by Battier and Sefolosha, right?" Phil Jackson said.

Ha ha!

Rivers of the Celtics is also pouring chicken soup into the players.Played two games with the Eagles this season, "played" two games, the two sides are considered to be a bridge!Rivers made a good pass to belittle the Eagles' operations during training, but found Angie after the training and asked the team to further strengthen the lineup.

"I have to say that our opponents are really strong. It's really hard for us to play against the Eagles." Rivers said truthfully.

"I'm going to find a way to contact some veterans now, and some of them will try to promote a buyout with the team and then join the team." Angie said.

He vomited blood and formed the Big Three. It is inevitable that the Celtics' bench strength is insufficient. Angie does not have Ke Yan's vision of "traversing people", so he can only rely on his own connections to strengthen. The "vision" must not be as good as Ke Yan's.

As for Popovich, he doesn't have much opinion on the Hawks' reinforcements.Zhuge Weiqi has not recovered from the Lakers "robbing" Gasol's deal, and his eyes are all on the Lakers!

After getting Gasol, the Lakers "improved by leaps and bounds" in terms of internal strength. The Spurs' "Duncan + Oberto" configuration may not be able to withstand it. Popovich also made two-handed plans. On the other hand, they plan to give the team's young insider Mahinmi more opportunities to exercise.

Pass the Lakers first before you have a chance to touch the Eagles!

The transaction documents still need to be confirmed by the league, and players also need to pass a physical examination before they can officially join. Therefore, in the Eagles' away game against the Nets on January 1, the Eagles lost three players.

But among the three players sent away, only Bass is a significant role in the Eagles.If, just if, if a new team is added to the league now, and each team has an "eight-man protection list", only Bass can squeeze into this eight-man list.

In this game, the two sides played against each other, but the difference is that the Eagles have defense.

Bass was not there, Ke Yan increased Garnett's playing time, and the Wolf King devoted most of his experience to defense. The shooting percentage of 21 of 10 shots and 25 points in the game was really not high, but he was comprehensive on the defensive end. Suppressed the impact of the Nets;

However, the Nets were defeated by the Hawks' offensive like a storm. After only resisting for two and a half quarters, they fell behind by as many as 24 points. The game lost suspense early.

保罗继续自己稳固的发挥，14投8中，其中三分6中3，罚球4中4，高效砍下20分12助攻的两双，三节打卡，帮助球队以117:89大胜篮网队。（29-9）

On January 1, the Eagles were a guest at Madison Square Garden and challenged the New York Knicks away.

After a few consecutive seasons of big coins and a dismal end, Dolan followed Isiah Thomas's proposal and formulated a long-term plan of "Keyan + LeBron". The team plans to use 1 to 2 seasons to clean up the long-term Rubbish contract, in preparation for welcoming Keyan in the summer of 09 and signing James in the summer of 10.

What is the way to deal with junk contracts?Either post the pick and send it away, or exchange the "junk contract", which is what the Knicks do.They are now committed to exchanging the garbage contracts in their hands for the garbage contracts that expire in 09 or 10 years, so as to free up the most salary space for Keyan to operate at that time.

Such a team naturally does not have the fighting power to show it.After defeating the Nets in three quarters in the last game, the Eagles once again "punched in three quarters" in this game, and easily opened up the point difference.

As a result, the team's three new players, Sefolosha, Shannon Brown, and Warrick all played 15+ minutes in their Eagles debut.

Sefolosha's performance was mediocre. He made 4 of 1 shots in the game and scored 3 points and 2 rebounds. The poor strength of the Knicks made his defensive skills not obvious;

Shannon Brown and Warrick had outstanding performances respectively.Before the game, Shannon Brown was encouraged by Ke Yan to actively fight with his body and run forward when he had the opportunity to break fast and counterattack. This arrangement just brought out his strong running and jumping ability and rapid impact.Shannon Brown made 3 of 2 shots, scored 5 points, 1 steal and 2 rebounds. All the points came from the attack frame after the counterattack (including a 2+1)

Shannon Brown is more unfavorable to the outside world, but Ke Yan is still quite optimistic about him as a good substitute.Warrick, on the other hand, is a purely trim contract, filling Bass' position by the way.However, in this game, Warrick performed well. Although he made 4 of 0 shots on the offensive end and only relied on free throws to score one point, his attitude was very good. To 6 rebounds.

After confirming the news of joining the Eagles, Warrick watched a lot of videos of Josh Smith playing in the Eagles.He feels that he has a similar style of play to Josh Smith and can imitate the opponent's play.

最后的比分定格在101：134，老鹰队客场以33分的优势大胜尼克斯队，成为本赛季联盟第一只胜场达到30场的球队。（30-9）

It is said that the Eagles' bench lineup has declined and they have stayed strong in the regular season, but it seems that even so, they still lead the league.
