So the Nuggets' goal in this deal is extremely clear, and they are aiming at O'Neal.

After completing this deal, the Nuggets' current lineup:

Starting: West, Iverson, James, Martin, Camby;

Substitutes: Anthony Carter, JR Smith, Creza, Joe Smith, Reggie Evans, Heywood, etc.

Although it has not been able to complete the major upgrade on paper, the starting strength of this lineup is good, the key is that the bench depth is deep enough.

Its competitiveness is second to none even in the West.

3. Mavericks

After the Mavericks completed that four-party deal, the starting lineup has been confirmed, but the bench still needs some reinforcement.

They ended up bringing Brandon Bass from the Hornets in a second round.

Bass was the pick in this round in 2005. He has not had many opportunities with the Hornets. He averaged 2+2 games in the past two seasons, which is a negligible type.

Moreover, Bass is only 2.03 meters tall, which is obviously short as the inside.

This talent and data are basically the kind of person who bid farewell to the NBA.

However, he can still stay in the NBA because of his excellent physical fitness and good middle-range ability.

He performed well before when he played against the Mavericks, winning the only double-double in his career and deducting Nowitzki one.

He was like this by Cuban.

Don't think it's incredible, this kind of thing happens from time to time in the NBA.

The current lineup of the Mavericks:

Starters: Kidd, Bale, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Big Ben, substitutes: Harris, Marquis Daniels, Devin George, Brandon Bass, Diop, Barrea.

This lineup is not weaker than Kobe when he was there, and it is even stronger because of the reasonable combination.

Or in other words, after this wave of trading, the Mavericks returned to the first echelon of the championship.

4, Heat

Well, when you see this name, you will know who won the final victory in O'Neal's battle for O'Neal.

Of course, this process and the real result were something that no one had imagined before.

Let’s talk about the Pacers’ situation, their general manager is Celtic celebrity Larry Bird.

The "Forcing King" said that he was completely unhappy when facing O'Neal's transaction application.

His attitude is that he can get enough rewards to trade O'Neal Jr., and if he doesn't have one, he will keep it.

Some people will say, this is wrong, you can designate the next one!

This is also unrealistic.

There are two main reasons:

First, the alliance atmosphere at this time was not as exaggerated as that of Sun Hao in the era;

The second is also a more critical point. The so-called designation of next-generation players means that only 1 to 2 years of players’ contracts can be successful.

Because the contract expires soon, the parent team does not trade him where he wants to go, and there are fewer teams who are willing to trade him, and the success rate of designated next company will be high.

But O'Neal Jr. has four years of big contract, and this situation will not exist at all unless O'Neal Jr. is the second Carter.

Some people may ask, why will there be more cases of designating a next home in the future?

This is back to the first line, the alliance trend.

Because some players tasted the sweetness of doing this, others followed suit and signed short contracts.

After signing a short contract, the initiative is on the players' side.

But in this era, long-term contracts are the mainstream.

In addition, the new labor-management agreement with the longest five-year contract in history has not been released, and it has been signed for six, seven or eight years.

Based on these situations, the Pacers have significantly greater initiative in this matter.

So as the transaction deadline approaches, Bird's answer is: I can also want O'Neal Jr., but you have to pay more!

As a result, the Heat and the Suns received new offers from the Pacers respectively.

Heat: Odomga Karon Butler, Gay's first round next year;

Suns: Marion Gadio, Ga’s first round next year;

Seeing this bargaining chip, I believe most people’s reaction is this barren robbery!

Well, it's just a robbery.

Of course you can not!

So the Suns withdrew.

In this way, even if they get O'Neal Jr., their strength will be weaker than before.

And the key is that at this time point, they have not been able to strengthen from the free market yet!

In the end, the Suns management changed their thinking. No one would agree with this kind of robbery chip, and they could wait until summer to watch.

If this season still fails, it will not be too late to clean up the space and make this deal again.

The Suns think so, even after they withdraw, Bird already wants to prepare Plan B to appease O'Neal Jr.

Because Riley is in charge of the Heat, it is even more impossible for him to agree to the deal.

But no one expected that Riley would agree in the end!

O'Neal, little, bring his talent to the South Coast!!

However, from the perspective of the Heat, Wade is in the forefront, and it is definitely not appropriate not to find him an All-Star teammate.

It's a half-hearted refusal to Riley do this.

And if the transaction is put into the game planes like "Fantasy Basketball Manager" or "Dream Team".

Marion Gadio, the Suns, is S-plus A, and replace O'Neal, the S;

Butler Gaodom, on the Heat, has two A+ and one S;

In terms of choice, the Heat are more likely to reach a deal.

The Heat's lineup after completing the deal:

Starting: Jason Williams, Wade, Dorrell Wright/Capono, Haslem, O'Neal Jr.;

Because Butler was not able to stay, this lineup was somewhat different from the Celtics and Wizards.

But Riley bets on Wade's growth and the chemistry between him and O'Neal Jr.

5, Pacers

The Pacers can be said to be the most active trading market this season.

And for this wave of Olney’s deal, you may really have to say “Bird is awesome”.

Because you didn't report Caron Butler and Odom to the team, he sold them all!

He wanted these two people not to want them at all, but to ride a donkey and find a horse!!

He traded Caron Butler to the Raptors next door for Ruhr Dun and Jaylen Ross!

Deng is still a rookie contract, the No. 7 pick in 2005, and averaged the rebounds in the Raptors this season.

Rose is a contract of more than 10 million.

Some people may say, hasn’t the Pacers been exchanged for Granger? Why do you still need Deng?

Yes, but that doesn't conflict.

You should know that different from history, Granger played as a shooting guard with the Bulls.

Moreover, the three people in Pacers are all swinging people now.

Ellis is a double-athlete guard, Granger is a forward guard, and Deng is a forward guard.

It is impossible for you to expect these three people to be played together.

Without opening the sky eye, this is a screening process.

As long as two of these three people can fight, Bird will make a lot of money in this wave.

As for the Raptors, with Byron Davis and Bosh, the lower limit is enough, and they are now fourth in the East.

The battle power of Caron Butler is also aiming to achieve results.

Then there was Odom, who Bird sent him directly to the Cavaliers for the Cavaliers' first-round draft pick next year.

The top teams in the Eastern Conference are very strong, but the strong result is that other teams have relatively average results.

This gives many teams hope for the playoffs.
