Chapter 808 [Active market, rising team]

The Kings play well, everyone in the Western Conference team is in danger, and the free market is very active...

There are only a few teams that can compete with the Kings, and the strength between the east and west is seriously unbalanced.

When Wang Jun and James were in the middle, the top few in the East were not as good as the West. After Wang Jun retired and left the Bulls, his strength in the East continued to decline, and it was so miserable that even the 12 All-Stars could hardly get it.

This pattern is becoming more and more serious this season. NBA President David Stern convened a meeting of management and proposed to try to reform the playoffs so that the 16 best-recorded teams can advance to the playoffs, rather than the existing top eight in the East and West.

This will make the competition more intense, but as soon as the idea is proposed, it encounters a lot of resistance. The Eastern team is the biggest opponent, because the weak Eastern team will have a greatly reduced position in the playoffs.

The bosses all want to make more money. Now, due to labor and capital issues, the NBA may be suspended next season, so of course they cannot change the system.

Stern raised this topic and made it helpless. With the trend of elites concentrating in the west, it is time to take some measures to ensure the balanced development of the NBA. In fact, the NBA has always lacked competitiveness. It is not the best team to enter the top 16 and has not been promoted or relegated, which allows the bad team to play the bad.

If there is not enough competition, it will not attract fans to the greatest extent, and money will not be easy to make.

Both the Thunder and the Trail Blazers completed big deals.

Trail Blazers star swinger Brandon Roy became a role player due to a knee injury, and the inside core Al Horford was reimbursed due to a complete tear of his chest muscles. The Trail Blazers can only play badly this season.

Over the past season, Roy has suffered from cartilage-free knee pain.

The meniscus is the cartilage between the two bones of the knee. It serves as a buffer for bone collision and is a protective film to prevent direct collision of leg bones. Due to injuries, the cartilage of Roy's knees has been worn out. In order to return to the arena, he has performed two large-scale surgeries on his knees, but the recovery is not ideal.

The doctor warned him that if he continued his career, he would likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. It was already a miracle that Roy could still play this season.

The Trail Blazers sent substitute swingman Rudy Fernandez and edge point guard Patrick Mills to the Thunder for replacement Thunder center Nenard Costic.

This is a win-win deal. Ibaka has made obvious progress this season, has excellent defense, and has better partnered with Lamarcus Aldridge in the interior. Kostic's position is very embarrassing.

He can play center when sent to the Trail Blazers. If the data is good, he may compete for a big contract next year. The Thunder will send him away and train young inside player Cole Aldridge.

In addition, the Thunder also obtained two role players to make up for the shortcomings of the substitute lineup's lack of offensive ability. No one led the offense in the second quarter before. Fernandez's shooting percentage was not high, but he had the ability to play with the ball.

The Thunder have become the biggest dark horse this season, ranking second in the West, second only to the Kings.

Their tactics are relatively retro, and both insides can pull out and shoot, creating space for the stars to play singles.

Westbrook, Durant and Aldridge all played star data, but they lacked stability and had a little choice.

The top four kings in the West, Thunder, Mavericks and Spurs. The Lakers are only ranked fifth, which is surprising.

The Grizzlies are ranked sixth, and the lineup configuration is similar to that of the Thunder. A group of young people are the core, with strong impact and strong strength.

The Nuggets and Hornets ranked 7th and 8th respectively. Rockets Carman was injured, the inside defense was poor, ranked ninth, and he was half-dead and hung up in one breath.

The Western Conference is full of demons, and the competitive pressure is too great. The Nuggets do not think there is hope for winning the championship. At most, they will be in the first round of the playoffs, and they will simply start to rebuild at the beginning of the season.

The Nuggets, Knicks, and Timberwolves also made a three-party transaction.

The Knicks got Cameron Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Cory Brewer, and Sheldon Williams.

The Nuggets got Pike Yudu, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Costa Coofs, and Villanueva.

The Timberwolves got two inside players, Anthony Randolph and Eddie Curry.

The Knicks were not hurt at all. They gave away a few new players and bad contracts, and then exchanged them for the two Nuggets stars. It was impossible for anyone to manipulate them behind the scenes.

The Knicks formed the Big Three of Billups, Anthony and Stadamire, which is very competitive in the East. The Knicks will definitely pay more luxury taxes, and the boss James Dolan won't care about these.

The Nuggets have won four excellent new players. Villanueva can open up space and shoot three-pointers and play in the system, which is also good.

Avraro in the team is very young and is a good 3D player. The young point guard Tylawson is getting better and better. Letting him get on the post is also the reason why he sends Billups away.

As long as Kenyon Martin's contract expires in the summer and get rid of this super baggage that has plagued the team for a long time, the Nuggets have sufficient salary space to sign and sign and sign and have a future next season.

As for the Timberwolves, how is this reconstruction? It is clearly to help the Knicks clear the bad contract. Curry has become fat and cannot play at all. He has no value except for the 11-year expiration contract. Little Randolph is also very poor and has no effect on the offensive end.

If there is no shady story, the Timberwolves' David Kahn must be the stupidest manager in the league. He has never done a good thing since he came to power in 2009.

With the performance of the new players, the Nets are currently above the Knicks and ranked fifth in the East.

The media has increased the publicity of the two teams and specifically mentioned that the Nets are preparing to pull the stadium to Brooklyn, which is the team that the league is preparing to compete with the Kings.

The Nets have not made a trade yet. The surprise is that the team's inside player Chris Humphries averaged 10 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, becoming a double-double player from a substitute, squeezing Favors to the bench.

The management's current goal is to strive for a super point guard. At present, Harden and Harris have very average organizational skills. At present, the prospects of the Nets are generally favored by experts.

In December, the Best Player of the Month was selected, and the Best of the West was selected between Wang Jun and James. Even Durant's record was not comparable to theirs.

With his super performance of 91 points in a single game, Wang Jun won the Western Conference's best of the month for the rest of the year, and Derek Rose from the Bucks in the East.

Wang Jun's data is obviously better than James, averaging 32.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2 steals per game.

James is more comprehensive, with 24.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 9.4 assists. As a forward, he often plays as a power forward and ranks fifth in the league in assists, which is a pervert.

Even so, James still didn't do his best. He didn't play enough time, otherwise he would compete for the assist king. He did too much and couldn't focus on assists like Rondo.

Wang Jun’s data is mainly score, and the definition of himself is scorer. He thinks less and goes to the extreme. His comparison with James proves that omnipotence is not necessarily better than a person who has a new move.

In the regular season MVP rankings, Wang Jun ranked first without any suspense, followed by the Bucks' Derek Ross, and James ranked third.

There is no dispute over which of the two kings is stronger.
