Chapter 1180 2019 NBA Trade Deadline

The individual competitions and starting lineups were announced, and soon after, the substitute list selected by the coaches was also released.

This past summer, Butler stayed in the West, and with James and George traveling west, the competition for the Western All-Stars became increasingly fierce.

This makes coaches think a lot when selecting players.

The final list is also cruel.

Western Conference substitute list: Curry, Westbrook, Lillard, Jimmy Butler, George, Davis, Embiid.

Klay Thompson, Griffin, Towns, Jokic and other outstanding stars were all lost.

In comparison, the stars in the east are dim, which can be said to be the worst in recent years.

Eastern Conference substitute list: Lowry, Beal, Russell, Devin Booker, Hayward, Randle, Drummond.

After this list was released, it triggered a lot of discussion among fans on social media.

After fans clamored for the merger of the East and West divisions before the season, they are now clamoring for the merger of All-Star selections.

However, these things involving small city teams and the fans behind them are not so easy to change.

And like Philadelphia and Chicago, they are now reveling in the fact that someone on the team has been selected as an All-Star after so many years.

The All-Star game and substitute lists have been released. If this was done in previous years, fans can wait for the All-Star weekend with peace of mind.

But the additions made since last year are a major attraction heading into the All-Star break.

Last year, Tang Tian chose all the hard-working brothers. Whether he will continue to choose that way this year or find another way to think about it is also worthy of attention.

And the Eastern Conference changed from James to Antetokounmpo.

This superstar, who is considered by the media to have the opportunity to replace James in the low post in the Eastern Conference, is also worth paying attention to his selection plan.

According to the NBA's official announcement, the selection plan will be broadcast live across the United States on the morning of February 8, which is expected to be popular among fans.

However, fans have a good show to watch on this day, but general managers also have the busiest day of the season on this day.

Last season, Xiao Hua proposed that the trade deadline should be moved before the All-Star Game.

This move was supported by league management and fans, and Tatum also implemented it this season.

In other words, this year’s NBA trade deadline is February 8th.

For basketball fans, this will definitely be the most exciting and anticipated day during the non-game days of the season.

Along with the advance of the trade deadline, there are also various rumors.

According to Woj reports, Marc Gasol’s career as a Grizzlies player has entered a countdown.

The Spaniard, who has spent his entire career in Memphis, will eventually leave Memphis like his brother.

The Toronto Raptors are his most likely next destination.

The Bucks are now the dominant team in the East, and the Raptors and Celtics are the only teams that can challenge them.

The Trail Blazers put Anthony on the shelf.

Anthony's form has declined significantly in the new season. He has the last year of his contract left and is expected to be pursued by bad teams.

The Clippers are in the trade market looking to bolster their center.

Their current starting center is Thomas Bryant, a sophomore who has performed well.

But the Clippers now have a good chance of making the playoffs. They are worried about Bryant's playoff experience and hope to trade for experienced players.

The Celtics are looking to trade for a defensive swingman, and the Hawks' Bazemore is their primary target.

They are also interested in the Cavaliers' Shumpert.

The Jazz are looking for a defensive swingman and are interested in Crowder from the Pelicans.

…

The rumors are true or false, whetting the fans' appetite as in previous years.

In the anticipation of fans, time came to February 7 in a blink of an eye.

As the trade deadline approaches, rumors have reached a peak, and some small deals have been concluded one after another.

The 76ers traded No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz, who was plagued by injuries, and Jonathan Simmons, a first-rounder and a second-rounder from the Magic.

The Bulls sent No. 2 Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis, and in the second round in 2023, they got Otto Porter from the Wizards.

The Bucks traded Thon Maker to the Pistons for Stanley Johnson.

…

These warm-up transactions have quickly increased fans' attention to the free market.

At this moment, Dempsey found Tang Tian.

Stevens' brief comfort to Crowder was ineffective. As the trade deadline approached, Crowder was determined to have the Pelicans trade him away.

The question now is where to send Claude.

Crowder has little playing time this season, and his trade value is actually relatively low.

The only interested team, the Jazz, only offered Sefolosha an expiring contract and were not even willing to give up draft picks.

Tang Tian listened to Dempsey and was in no hurry to speak.

It was his recommendation to trade Crowder, but it turned out to be a failure in his "manager career". He had to do a good job in the aftermath.

"I think the idea of ​​trading with the Jazz is okay. Anyway, Crowder doesn't have a chance to play now."

Dempsey finally spoke.

The Pelicans are aiming to win four consecutive championships. Now that there is an unstable factor like Crowder, they don't ask for any trade returns. Sending him away is the best result.

Tang Tian nodded.

Sefolosha's contract has expired. Although his defense has declined due to age in the past two years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Coupled with his excellent three-point shooting in the past two seasons (38.1% last season, 43% this season), it is also a supplement to the Pelicans' perimeter.

"If there is really a deal, then I will go negotiate with them."

Dempsey finished speaking and left.

Now that the trade deadline is approaching, every second counts.

"etc."

Tang Tian grabbed him.

“With the Grizzlies, what’s going on with the Marc Gasol trade?”

Tang Tian didn't let him go, but asked about Gasol.

"Gasol?"

Dempsey was in a hurry to negotiate and didn't understand what Tang Tianwen meant.

But when Tang Tian nodded, he still answered truthfully.

"Gasol has little trade value now. He is 34 years old. Not to mention his struggles this season with the Grizzlies, he still has more than 20 million player options for next season. There are very few teams interested in him. , which means the Raptors want to take a gamble and create the Big Three of their dreams."

Tang Tian was amused after hearing Dempsey's words.

The Big Three in my dream.

Lowry, DeRozan, Gasol.

The garbage brothers plus an old Gasol in the playoffs are indeed very impressive.

"What bargaining chip did the Raptors give?"

Tang Tian then asked.

Dempsey was stunned for a moment when he heard Tang Tian's question, and he put aside his original idea of ​​leaving in a hurry.

"You want to trade him to the Pelicans?"

Dempsey asked in surprise.
