Chapter 611 2015 NBA Trade Deadline (3rd Update!)

Tang Tian and Cole have a good relationship, and Dempsey asked him to give advice this time, which made him a little embarrassed.

"I know about your relationship, but Dinwiddie's progress is faster than expected. If we don't trade Cole now, we will lose him in vain in the summer, and he will get a very good opportunity when he goes to the Lakers. "

Dempsey continued on the phone.

This is true. Jeremy Lin's performance in the Lakers is not very good. If Cole goes, he may start from the bench.

It's an opportunity he won't have with the Pelicans.

"We don't need the Lakers' pick. If the Lakers make the playoffs, it will be a second-round back end that is basically worthless."

Tang Tian said on the phone.

"But that's all he's worth."

Cole is just a backup point guard with an expiring contract.

The value of the second round is also because the Lakers are more anxious. After all, this season is likely to be Kobe's last season in the playoffs.

"Show me the list of players that each team has on the shelves now, and I'll see if there are any suitable players."

Tang Tian knew that Dempsey said that the deal was imperative, so he could only strive to make the deal a win-win situation.

Dempsey sent the list shortly after hanging up the phone.

Tang Tian saw two familiar names on it.

Will Barton.

Barton was the second-round pick of the Trail Blazers in 2012. This is his third year, and he hasn't improved much.

This kind of player, the Trail Blazers may not implement the last year of his contract in the summer, so it is reasonable to put it on the shelves at this time.

Barton Tangtian still knew about it. In history, he later became a bench bandit of the Nuggets and a contender for the best sixth man.

Now with his low position in the Trail Blazers, pulling the Lakers in as a three-way team will definitely succeed.

But the problem is that Barton is that kind of assaulter, and his role overlaps with Gordon's. He is thin and has no defense, and he can only pass the three-pointer.

In history, Barton's progress was given by the Nuggets. Even if he was traded to the Pelicans, with Gordon and Morrow before him, it would be difficult to play.

After thinking for a while, Tang Tian passed him.

He set his sights on another person's name.

Bismack Biyombo.

Biyombo was in the same class as him, and was selected by the Bobcats with the eighth overall pick.

But his growth is far from expected. After playing for almost four years, he averaged only 4 points and 6 rebounds per game. The Bobcats will definitely not renew his contract in the summer.

At this time, it was put on the shelves by the Hornets (the original Bobcats officially changed its name to the Hornets in May 2014), which is similar to Cole's situation.

Biyombo Tangtian also knows that his strength is indeed not suitable for his pick. Even like Evans, he is the kind of player who has no offensive skills at all and can only rely on picking up leaks and eating cakes.

But he is black and tough, with a strong presence on the defensive end, averaging 1.5 blocks per game in a limited time.

In general, it is a weakened version of Whiteside.

I don't know if Whiteside's contract renewal next season can be done. If he is traded, it can be regarded as a spare tire.

And Evans is old, this is basically the last season of his career, even if Whiteside successfully renews his contract, he is enough as a third center.

After choosing, Tang Tian called Dempsey.

Dempsey won the best general manager because of Tang Tian's operation before, as long as Tang Tian is willing to give advice, he will definitely listen.

After getting the trade partner, he contacted the Hornets to prepare a three-way deal.

After Tang Tian hung up the phone, Olsen came in wearing a nurse's attire.

Pregnancy has not been successful, comrades still need to work hard!

...

Time flies, and a few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the transactions of various teams have begun to make progress.

With a few hours left before the deadline, deals have been concluded one after another.

The Suns became the team with the biggest moves.

They first sent their team's starting point guard Dragic to the Heat, and got Granger and Justin Hamilton with 2 first-round picks.

After struggling at the beginning of the season, the Heat performed well under the leadership of Wade before the All-Star Game, and still have a chance to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

Riley chose to reinforce at this time, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Miami fans who have been spraying him this season.

After sending away Dragic, the Suns followed up with a deal with the Celtics, sending their sixth man Isaiah Thomas.

They got Marcus Thornton and a 2016 first-round pick from the Cavaliers in this trade.

Thomas averaged 15.2 points, 3.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game this season.

The Celtics performed strongly under the leadership of Stevens and are still in the playoffs. This kind of reinforcement is also reasonable.

The two operations of the Suns looked like giving up this season, but the following transaction stunned everyone.

Brandon Knight, who performed well in the Bucks this season and helped the Bucks return to the playoffs as the starting point guard, averaged 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, was sent to the Suns in a three-way deal Team!

This transaction made fans shout that they couldn't understand it, and it also made Knight look at a loss after being traded.

But this is the NBA, and the fate of most players rests in the hands of the front office.

In addition to the Suns, as the trade deadline continues to approach, other deals have been concluded one after another.

The Thunder sent the team's sixth man Reggie Jackson to the Pistons, and got Kanter from the Jazz, Augustin and Singler from the Pistons.

The Jazz sent Kanter and got the Thunder's expired contract Perkins.

The Pistons got Reggie Jackson.

The Thunder's deal is different from the previous high-quality rookie exchange for draft picks. Jackson had some resentment towards Durant last season, and the starting problems with Westbrook became more and more serious. This is what the Thunder had to do.

In addition to the Thunder, the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers made a big deal.

They sent Afflalo and Alonzo Gee to the Trail Blazers for Will Barton, Victor Clayver, Thomas Robinson, and a future first-round pick.

This is basically a reinforcement deal for the Blazers, and Barton, whom Tang Tian paid attention to before, also went to the Nuggets as in history.

These transactions are basically the same as in history.

In fact, before the All-Star Game, the pattern of the East and the West has actually been settled, and it is unlikely that there will be a big deal.

Just as the trade deadline was approaching, the Pelicans also reached a deal.

They reached a three-way deal with the Lakers and Hornets.

The Lakers traded Ronnie Price and a 2015 second-round pick for Norris Cole.

The Hornets sent Biyombo for Price and a 2015 second-round pick.

The Pelicans sent Norris Cole to Biyombo.
