On February 18, the 2015-2016 NBA trade deadline came to an end in a deserted atmosphere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In about 4 hours, there were only 10 transactions in total, and most of these operations were just small transactions for sesame seeds for mung beans. Including the Magic-Pistons trade on Feb. 17 and a three-way trade by the Hornets, Grizzlies and Heat, there are 12 recent trades.

The Thunder sent DJ Augustin, Steve Novak and two second-round picks to get Denver Nuggets' Randy Foye.

The players involved in this deal are all marginal figures in the NBA, and they don't care if any of them loses in the deal.

In the Nuggets' view, Randy Foye became a free agent when his contract expired in the summer. And the Nuggets, who are rebuilding, will not choose to renew their contract, and now they can use him to exchange for two second-round picks out of thin air as soon as possible. As for Stephen Novak, although he scored a batch of open three-pointers, he was really useless on the court. Even if it is not traded, it will be cut to make room for people in the new season.

In the Thunder's view, last year's rookie Cameron Payne was also a lottery pick (14th pick in the first round, the last lottery pick in 2015), and there is still potential to be tapped. With him as a substitute for Wei Shao, there is no place for DJ-Augustin at all, and it is also a good choice to send Augustin away as soon as possible.

And Randy Foye is more reliable than Dion Vites, and he will shoot when he should be in the fixed position, and he will not take another step to find the cover like Vitesse. He can also come in handy during rotation time. Although the Nuggets are going to two second-round picks, what is the use of a second-round pick for a team as talented as the Thunder?

In addition, Markieff Morris, who had already been caught in trade rumors, ended up being traded. The Wizards sent Chris Humphries and DeJuan Blair, plus a protected first-round pick to get Markieff Morris for the Suns.

Morris is still so worth a trade, and to be honest, it was a surprise to the Suns.

Last summer, in an attempt to chase LaMarcus Aldridge on free agency, the Suns traded Marcus Morris to the Pistons. The Morris brothers, who finally got together to play, were dismantled.

From the team's point of view, players are commodities on the shelf, and it is understandable to trade him. But from a player's point of view, people with flesh and blood and feelings are ruthlessly treated as commodities in this way, and no one will feel good. And what makes Markieff Morris, who stayed with the Suns, even more unhappy, is that his brother Marcus Morris made so many sacrifices for the Suns, but in the end he was ruthlessly traded, and Markieff Morris felt that this was a shameless betrayal. As a result, his relationship with the Suns' top brass deteriorated dramatically.

The Suns are now firmly in the position of vice president of the West, and it has to be said that the conflict between Markieff Morris and the management has intensified.

In short, no matter who is right or wrong, trading is imperative. However, the Wizards also made a bloody effort to get Markieff Morris.

The Wizards now have John Wall under the leadership of John Wall and are on the path to revival. Despite Bradley Beal as a helper, it is still difficult for the Wizards to make the playoffs. They need a power forward who can grow with Wall and Beal! Nene Hilario, a strong man with only one egg left, is also old, and Jared Dudley and Otto Porter are no longer in the number four position...... And Humphries, who said that he practiced three-point shooting in the summer, after half a season, I can't see how much progress he has, and it is just right to use it as a chip trade.

The Houston Rockets, who have been sprayed this season, also made a trade, pulling the Pistons and the 76ers to make a three-way trade.

The Rockets sent Motai Yunas and Marcus Thornton for a protected first-round pick in 2016 with the first eight picks and the right to sign Chukudiyebel Maduaben (Nigerian, 26th rookie in the second round in 2011); The Pistons sent Joel Anthony and a protected first-round pick to the top eight in 2016 to get Marcus Thorton and Motai Yunas; The 76ers sent Chukudiye Bel Maduaben to the contract for Joel Anthony.

The Rockets had previously rumored a Dwight-Howard trade, but it never came true. In fact, he is not the source of the problem for the Rockets to this point, but he is indeed the only player with trade value. Originally, if one or two flexible interior players could be traded, the Rockets might be able to toss around in the playoffs.

Motai Yunas can play singles in the low post, has three-point ability, has a good basketball IQ and has the ability to play with one hand, which is quite a poor man's version of Gasol. The Pistons may have taken a fancy to him, perhaps just that.

But the Rockets are worried about Motai Yunas' back injury, and more importantly, General Manager Morey estimates that Motai Yunas, whose contract expires in the summer, will shout a high price of more than 12 million a year, as a notoriously miserly, he obviously won't give it, so he traded Motai Yunas as soon as possible.

In addition, the Pistons also sent Eithan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings to get Orlando Magic's Tobias Harris.

The Pistons have been looking for an opportunity to send Jennings away since they traded Reggie Jackson from the Thunder before the trade deadline last year. Jennings is now no longer as imposing as a rookie, and the Pistons are no longer expecting him.

Ilyasova can be used as a space striker, which is quite good; But if it's Harris, it's an upgrade! After all, Harris is better than Ilyasova in everything but his three-pointers.

Although the Magic team is reluctant to Tobias Harris, Aaron Gordon's amazing performance in the slam dunk contest a while ago completely made the management determined to make room for Gordon!

In order to completely clear the obstacles in Gordon's growth path, the Magic also sent Channing Frye to the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers, after trading with the Trail Blazers, sent away Anderson Vallejo and a protected 2018 top-10 first-round pick to get a second-round pick for the Trail Blazers. Then the Cavaliers used this second-round pick and Jarred Cuningham to trade Channing Frye from the Magic.

The Cavaliers' series of trades, which is rated A- by the outside world, is the highest rating among the dozen or so trades made by the trade deadline this season.

The Cavaliers got quite a few benefits from this trade: First of all, Frye's trade for Vallejo was an upgrade.

Frye's performance has been limited since spraining a knee ligament in training camp in 2014-15, but his projection is highly sought after by ESPN's true plus/minus, which ranks in the top 10 at the same position.

Some people don't like the pairing of Frye and Kevin Love, two anti-aircraft guns that will make the opponent unable to defend, but neither of them can protect the basket. As a result, Frye is likely to play off the bench and when Love is off, he could be paired with Timofey Mozgov or Tristan Thompson.

Even if Frye is poor in rim protection, replacing Vallejo with him would still benefit the Cavaliers.

Vallejo was a veteran starter but has never recovered since a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2014. In addition to his declining form, Vallejo's style of play is more suited to a center than a power forward – a clash with Mozgov and Thompson. Frye has a well-rounded style of play and can play in the number four position to open up space.

From an economic point of view, trading Vallejo's contract for Frye is better than just using the Brendan Haywood trade exception raw (technically the Cavaliers could use the Haywood trade exception to create a new one, worth the same as Vallejo's annual salary). As a result, the Cavaliers actually saved $800,000 in salaries and $9 million in luxury taxes.

It's a good deal to save that much money with a pick that could be the end of the first round. The deal also upgrades the roster, but the Cavaliers must pay Frye's fully guaranteed contract for the 2017-18 season, while Vallejo is on a non-guaranteed contract for the season. But it's worth the expense.

The Magic's trade with the Cavaliers was rated C-.

For the Magic, sending Frye away was meant to make room for Gordon, but it was more of a pure clean-up salary.

In fact, Frye's performance in magic is still okay. According to the NBA's official website, Frye won by 2.6 points per 100 possessions, and was the only player on the team to have a positive goal of playing more than 200 minutes.

But because he hindered the growth of potential newcomers, he became the scapegoat for the Magic's poor record in January, not to mention, and was ruthlessly sent away in the end.

In the long run, the Magic don't need Frye too much. Frye has been topped by Gordon since the start of the season, and the last time he played more than 20 minutes was on January 14, and he has been frequently DNP (did-not-play, not playing) by the coach...... With the addition of Eisen Ilyasova and Frye's contract becomes a burden.

Getting rid of a 30-something veteran's contract isn't bad.

Without Frye, the Magic could have up to 40 million of space this summer.

The salary occupancy of restricted libero Evan Fournier, Andrew Nicholson, and potential full free agent Brandon Jennings (salary space is taken up by restricted libero and full libero when salary space is calculated in the offseason) has been removed. However, the Magic could get more room by cutting Ilyasova, who was only guaranteed 400,000 in 2016-17.

The Magic can create cap salary space, and unfortunately, this may be the most unspent year in history, with many teams having a lot of money in their hands and not many stars to chase. The Magic's best target in reality is Al Horford, who can help the Magic escalate in the short term, but the value for money at the end of the contract is questionable.

The Magic spent more money on the trade and then got players with similar talent to Frye and Tobias Harris. So the trading rating is only C-.

In addition, the Trailblazer, who made a small show of presence before the trade deadline, received a B- trade evaluation.

For the Trail Blazers, it's worth thinking about how to use the huge salary space before the trade deadline. Even after this deal, they still have ample salary space. At this point, it's not enough to eat up the expiring contract in exchange for a first-round pick, just like the 76ers got Javier McGee last year, and the Trail Blazers have to take a year's Vallejo salary.

In any case, the Trail Blazers would cut Vallejo now, and they have two options: immediately take Vallejo's fully guaranteed $9.4 million and 5% of his trade money in the salary cap at once, or split it into five seasons. There is no problem with the Trail Blazers' salary space and the extension of Aaron Kraby and Mayers Leonard.

The Trail Blazers don't have much room for upside in the draft, and the Cavaliers should still be a powerhouse in the East in 2018, and even if there are surprises, it's a top-10 protection. But it can still help the Trail Blazers, who last year paid their own first-round pick this year or next year to get Aaron Afflalo.

From an economic point of view, the pioneers are also beneficiaries. They only need to pay Vallejo 3 million, but they can split the team's salary of 10 million (the rest of the Cavaliers pay, because the Trail Blazers' salary is so low, they must reach 90% of the salary cap at the end of the regular season).

Now the Trail Blazers are just 4 million short of their goal. With a lot of money in his hand but not able to spend it, there is no one in this situation for the pioneers. And in order to spend money in an effort, the Trail Blazers sent the Heat some more cash in exchange for guard player Brian Roberts and an unprotected second-round pick in 2021.

After three trades in three days, the Heat finally saved $6 million by reducing their total salary to less than the luxury tax this season, and Pat Riley is notoriously budget-conscious.

Poor Roberts, who was sent to Miami by Charlotte on Wednesday in a three-way trade between the Hornets, Heat and Grizzlies, was made for the second time this week. Now, he was sent to Portland by the Heat.

The 30-year-old Roberts has played in 30 games for the Hornets this season, averaging 4.8 points, 1.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game. The situation now is that the Heat are no longer required to pay the luxury tax, and at the same time free up 2 player spots.

And for the Trail Blazers, they got the draft pick they wanted, and more importantly, the team's total salary finally reached the league's minimum threshold!

Before the trade deadline this season, the heavier trade should be the trade of the Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies.

Although it is located in a big city like Los Angeles, there are always a lot of rumors, such as Blake Griffin, who is going to be traded.

However, these rumors are also: Griffin is only 27 years old, and he was the third MVP in the regular season two years ago, proving that he can lead the team to the playoffs without Paul; In addition, he is a well-rounded offensive player who can adapt to any system; Defensively and constantly improving. If you want to shoot the league's top five active forwards, he also has a place.

Doug Rivers is obviously not stupid, and even if he were to consider trading Griffin, the conditions would be frighteningly high, and he couldn't take any of Curry, LeBron James, Durant, Westbrook and Anthony Davis, don't even think about it.

When the deal was finally struck, the rumors were dispelled.

The Clippers sent Lance Stephenson and a 2019 first-round pick to get forward Jeff Green from the Grizzlies.

Stephenson hasn't had a rough run since leaving the Pacers, his trials with the Hornets haven't been successful, and the same is true with the Clippers.

So far this season, Stephenson has appeared in 43 games for the Clippers, averaging just 15.8 minutes per game, 4.7 points and 2.5 rebounds. The Clippers had hoped that Finson would be the team's second offensive playmaker in the backcourt and share the pressure with Chris Paul, but that didn't happen. Thankfully, D'Angelo Russell managed to play that role well, so it wouldn't be useful for Stephenson to stay with the Clippers.

And the Grizzlies have been trying to peddle Jeff Green for a while. For the Memphis Grizzlies, Jeff Green is undoubtedly the most disappointing player on the team this season. Not only did he play poorly on the pitch, but his relationship with his teammates was strained.

Now that the Clippers want to take over, they are naturally willing to do it, and getting a first-round pick is a surprise.

The same team in Los Angeles, the Lakers never made any moves before the trade deadline, and only became a spectator in the end, which disappointed Yi Feng. (To be continued.) )
