Before the trade deadline, other teams also used their last chance to make reinforcements.The Lakers cut interior Medvidenko, signed veteran Jim Jackson, who was waived by the Suns, and recalled second-round rookie Ronnie Turiav from the Development League.Jackson has only 37 points, 24 rebounds and 11 assists in the Suns this season, shooting 295 from the field and 222 from three-point range, and he certainly can't help the Lakers.This means that the Lakers have given up on this season, and Kobe Bryant can focus all his energy on brushing up on scoring titles.The Nets traded veteran center Mark Jackson for Hornets forward Nakba.The summer "important reinforcement" player left after only half a season, and the current Nets team has no future to speak of.The Nuggets traded with the SuperSonics in exchange for the "rebounding maniac" Reggie Evans.Traded with the Trail Blazers in exchange for the self-proclaimed "Kobe Terminator" 196 forward Ruben Patterson.In exchange for Evans, it was a helpless move for the Nuggets, and Nene was seriously injured for the season, and Martin was also injured and missed more than 20 games, and the interior line was tight.The Nuggets suffered a big loss in the trade with the Nets, and Martin, who is on a max-salary contract, has only 136 statistics this season and continues to decline.Last season Martin was a disappointment, he didn't play very well, he was very good at playing.Because of the overlap with Nene's position, the two secretly competed in training, Nene hit Martin with his elbow several times, and then the two sides beat each other, Nene was injured in the eye socket by Martin, and went to the hospital for two stitches.This year, the two of them don't have to compete, and there are also a few big deals in the middle of the game.The Timberwolves traded seven men to the Celtics, with the Timberwolves trading Szczebiak, Olowo Kandi, Dwyane Jones and a protected future first-round pick for the Celtics' Ricky Davis, Mark Blunt, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed and a future second-round pick.In addition, the Timberwolves traded Scottishvili for a 2006 second-round pick from the Suns.The conflict between "Wolf King" Garnett and Szczebiak is not a secret, and now the team is outside the playoffs, and the two are even more incompatible.Garnett felt that his teammates were too bad, and Szzelbiak followed Wang Jun's example, and his courage soared.Dare to stare at Garnett in the locker room, and if Garnett makes another move, he will definitely fight back.If Garnett plays his teammates again, his reputation will definitely be worse than stinky tofu and will never be reversed, so he can only stare.Management can't stand it.Szebiak could only be sent away.The Timberwolves sent off the second master.If you only exchange for a cancer swing man, you will definitely become a bad team.The Magic sent blue-collar center Kevin Cato and a first-round pick in exchange for the Pistons' "parallel list" Milicic and "Wonder Boy" Arroyo.It is quite ironic that Milicic, who once beat Wade, Bosh, Anthony and other big names in the draft, changed to a first-round pick.Larry Brown is gone, Milicic is gone, and he hasn't worked hard to improve himself in the past two years.Got to this point.It's also self-inflicted.Then.The Magic traded with the Knicks, sending their leading point guard Steve Francis to New York in exchange for backup swingman Ariza and former Magic player "Penny" Hardaway.Francis has been mired in trade rumors in recent weeks.After knowing the outcome of the deal, he confessed his dissatisfaction with the deal."
I don't want to leave, I want to stay in Orlando and play for a few years.Am I angry hey, this is the NBA, you only have respect for business.I'm doing well here.Nothing to complain about.It's just that it's hard for me and my family to come to terms with this change, and I'm on the brink of hell right now. ”Francis also admitted.The source of the transfer rumours has been the disappointing performances this season.Since switching clubs with Maddie from the Rockets to the Magic in 2004, Francis has played one year and a half in Orlando.Last season, he averaged a team-high 213 points per game and a career-high seven assists.His form has dropped significantly this season, averaging just 162 points per game, and his assists have dropped to 57, as well as 34 turnovers per game, which is an astonishing assist-to-turnover ratio.Francis and the Magic also have a tacit reason: his conflict with head coach Brian Hill.Francis's performances have taken a nosed since Hill reused second-year student Jamal Nelson late last year, and she was banned for two games by the club for refusing to play half a month ago.Swapping Francis not only gives the Magic a locker room thorn, but also allows Hardaway, whose contract is expiring, to free up a lot of salary space after this season.Francis' salary reaches $13.7 million, and with three years left on his contract, it's definitely a big hole.Ever since "Assassin" Isaiah Thomas became the team's general manager, the Knicks have not stopped trading.Not to mention sending Hardaway, who was about to expire, he sent the team's best defensive swingman to the Magic.According to Chinese legend, there was a foolish man who wanted to lead his family to move the mountain for the convenience of going out, and he never thought about moving.Thomas, the foolish man of the United States, is even more bullish, he can dig a pit big enough to bury a mountain, and then bury himself with the soil from which he dug the pit.Francis will join Marbury in one of the most expensive backcourt combinations in the league, and the Knicks are already the league's highest-paid team.How to defend two tall and short defenders on the court together is definitely an unsolvable problem.Countless basketball pundits have expressed concern about the Knicks' future, and Thomas was happy when he held a press conference.He said confidently: "This deal has strengthened both of our teams.It could be now, it could be the future.We got Steve without giving up any important players and that's key to our future success. ”Head coach Larry Brown also said happily: "It's very exciting for the Knicks to get a player of the caliber and talent of Francis.Francis' experience will help the team in many ways and he will help our young players to develop further. ”It's clear that the Knicks are going to be out of luck.Francis has never helped young people grow up, so should he teach people how to rush to the basket with their heads down, so sudden that they can't jump up again and make a mistake After seeing the news, the Bulls uniform team were overjoyed.At the morning meeting, everyone was not optimistic that the Knicks could rely on Francis to play well.Even if Marbury is injured, the Knicks and Crawford need the ball, and even the "little potato" Nate Robinson needs the ball, otherwise he won't be able to play strong.Paxson smiled and said to college scouting director Ivanka Dukan: "Ivanka, you pay attention to the March Madness game, we can definitely get a good signing, and if you don't do it, you will be the top pick." ”Dukan laughed: "A lot of information has been collected, and the two best inside players are Teyrus Thomas, LaMarcus Aldridge.With the fact that there is a big man in Europe, we will definitely be able to pick a potential rookie. ”"Okay, feel free to report back."
Paxson took a deep breath and smiled, "I think the time has come for the Bulls to rise." ”s:
