The Rockets were preparing to trade Barkley.

This is more than a trade, which means that the Rockets are unlikely to take advantage.

As one of the eight superstars in the league, only players who are changed to the eight superstar level are not considered to be at a loss.

But how could Barkley get the other six superstars in the league!

Lin Han, Jordan, O'Neal, Malone, Ewing, David Robinson, which of these six can be exchanged for the current Barkley?

Even Hardaway, a quasi-giant, and Grant Hill, can't be replaced.

Since the A goods traded cannot be exchanged for other A goods, then the next best thing to do is to replace them with B goods.

Anyone who has been in the NBA knows that no matter how much B goods there are, they can't get A goods.

There are only five players on the court who can play on each team, and it is useless if you can't play more.

The Rockets really don't want to trade Barkley if they can.

If you don't trade Barkley, as long as you don't face the Lakers, whether it's the SuperSonics or the Jazz, you can hammer it directly.

It's just that the goal of the Rockets is to win the championship, not to enter the Western Conference finals steadily.

Therefore, there are only two options left for the rocket.

If you don't trade Barkley, you have a 99% chance of making it to the Western Conference finals and a 1% chance of making it to the finals.

And what about trading Barkley?

It depends on what kind of chips you get after trading Barkley.

However, no matter what the chips are, the chances of entering the Western Conference finals will definitely decrease, but the chances of reaching the finals will definitely rise.

This statement may seem contradictory, but it is not.

In the end, the choice of the queen is that he would rather become dangerous in the process of entering the Western Conference Finals than simply enter the Western Conference Finals and be defeated by the Lakers in the end.

Fortunately, Barkley is really a sought-after commodity.

Although I can't exchange Lin Han's A goods, I can't exchange Hardaway, Hill and Webb, Payton and other quasi-A goods.

However, there are a bunch of B goods or quasi-B goods for the rocket to choose.

Take, for example, Tim Hardaway of the Warriors.

The Warriors want to get Barkley, not to say that Barkley fits into Princeton's system.

Barkley is a big man in the league who can take down the Warriors' chaotic locker room.

As long as the Rockets are willing, Tim Hardaway, a point guard who averages 20+10 per game, can be sent to Houston at any time.

For example, the 76ers also want to get Barkley, and as long as the Rockets want to, Jerry Starkerhouse is ready.

There are also Anthony Mason of the New York Knicks, Richmond of the Kings and a bunch of other players.

As long as the rocket wants to, it can be obtained.

However, none of these players were selected by the Rockets in the end.

Tim Hardaway faces Lin Han, can he play his strength as a B-level player?

No kidding, Tim Hardaway is indeed a B+ player.

But in the face of Lin Han, he may not even be able to exert his C-level strength!

Tim Hardaway's strength is all in the offense, if his offense can't beat Lin Han, it's waste, even more useless than Barkley!

As for Jerry Starkerhouse, Richmond and other offensive B goods, it is the same.

The Rockets don't need those players.

At the final trade deadline, the Rockets were only in talks with two teams.

New York Knicks and Pacers.

Anthony Mason of the New York Knicks and Davis Davis of the Pacers, these two are the main chips in this trade.

Neither is an all-Star, but the two are undoubtedly B-goods.

It's just that the way they add points is different.

Anthony Mason Jr., he's a defensive B+, an offensive B-.

Davis is a defensive A- and an offensive C.

In the end, the Rockets weighed in and chose Pacer Davis Davis.

As for the reason, it's very simple, Anthony Mason's strength and offense are still too high.

His B-attack, when he encounters Lin Han, he will play a few percent, and the rocket is not sure.

Removing the offense, Anthony Mason Jr.'s strength is just defensive B+.

And his defense is also unreliable, last season, Anthony Mason Jr. faced the Jazz's Lin Han in the Finals, and was taught by Lin Han.

Not only did he abuse him by playing, but he also abused him by fighting, which was worse than Barkley!

In that case, Davis Davis is still reliable in defending A-!

Besides, Dale Davis and Olajuwon are really a perfect match.

Dale Davis is one of the league's strongest defensive interior players with lower body strength.

Olajuwon, on the other hand, is one of the league's strongest interior players.

As long as there is Davis Davis, Olajuwon can also be freed from the single defense and not have to defend a single point.

Instead, you can roam the pitch unscrupulously, and you can help defend whoever you want.

It can be said that in order to get Barkley, the Pacers are really willing to go.

Dale Davis is the defensive pillar of the Pacers!

Half of the Pacers' strength is on Larry Brown's modulated defense.

And, in addition to defense, Dale Davis is also the executor of the Pacers' screen play, giving Reggie Miller how many three-point opportunities per game to cover?

Barkley is averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds per game this season, and the Rockets traded him for a player who is averaging 10 points, 9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.

In terms of data, of course, it is a blood loss.

Statistically, Barkley should trade Tim Hardaway, or Richmond.

Obviously, the Rockets are not interested in the overall stats of the players, but in the face of Lin Han and the Lakers.

So, after the All-Star, the Barkley deal that stirred up the entire league is finally over.

The Rockets and Pacers complete the deal.

The Rockets sent Barkley to get Dale Davis from the Pacers and former All-Star Ricky Pierce.

Pierce is the addition to that deal.

The 36-year-old is a well-known evergreen in the league, averaging 10 points per game in less than 20 minutes per game this season.

This 10-point average is not scored by an attacking team or a lotto team.

It's the Pacers coached by Larry Brown who got it!

This data content is leveraged.

Moreover, he is not only an evergreen, but also a microwave oven.

As a substitute, you can use a player who averages less than 29 minutes per game and averages 23 points per game.

Of course, it was in his prime, and now he is in his twilight years.

However, his offensive means are mainly mid-to-long-range shooting.

So age doesn't affect him that much, even in Larry Brown's system, he can average 10 points per game as a bench.

It can be said that in order to get Barkley this time, the Pacers are indeed very willing.

Not only did he send the team's defensive pillar, but he also sent the team's Super Sixth Man out.

At the same time, the Rockets, on the other hand, have the player they coveted to free up Olajuwon to help defend.

and a microwave player that greatly complements the team's thickness.

The Pacers' roster is extremely thick, and what is missing is a superstar, and with Barkley there is a superstar.

Sending away Davis would upset Larry Brown, though.

In Larry Brown's mind, none of the ten Barkleys can compare to Dale Davis.

It's more than a trade, and Larry Brown is definitely against it.

Trading Davis meant that his tactical system completely collapsed.

But who gave the Pacers' general manager the name to be Donnie Walsh.

One of the league's most famous general managers of the madman gambling type.

At the beginning, Donny Walsh used Schramf, an All-Star player who averaged 19 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, to trade from the SuperSonics to Derrick McKay, who averaged 13 points and 4 rebounds per game, was ridiculed by the Pacers' media and fans as "Walsh finally completed the team's rebuild, but he did not rebuild the Pacers, but the SuperSonics"

It's just that, soon, the Pacers fans and the media are really fragrant.

This is more than a deal, not only did the SuperSonics complete the rebuild, but the Pacers also completed the rebuild.

The SuperSonics got a much-needed core player, while the Pacers got a defensive stalwart.

Win-win!

Trading Dale Davis for Barkley is Walsh's style at first glance.

Why is the Pacers roster always so deep?

It's because Donnie Walsh can gamble and has a good eye.

Starting with his selection of Miller in Miller and Alford, he has barely missed a break in the NBA.

And other teams are willing to trade him, and they all know that Walsh is a kind general manager who likes to win both ways.

Walsh, like Spurs' Po Povich, is a disciple of Larry Brown.

But the styles of the two are completely different.

Pol Povich is a little junior brother, like the teacher Larry Brown, Larry Brown also feels the most sorry for Pol Popich, and of course, Pol Povich is also the most intimate teacher.

Larry Brown doesn't like threes, and neither does Po Povich.

Larry Brown is a fan of defense, and so is Po Povich.

Walsh, on the other hand, is a different story at all.

His teacher didn't like three-pointers, but he did just prop up a shooter to be the heart of the team.

Larry Brown likes to defend and doesn't like to attack.

But he swapped Davis for Barkley.

If someone else dared to replace Dale Davis, with Larry Brown's character, he would have stopped doing it a long time ago.

But who made this man was Donnie Walsh, his disciple.

A disciple who is completely different from Po-Povich's intimate little padded jacket.

A rebellious disciple who likes to say, "Teacher, I was wrong, but I just won't change".

Larry Brown can tear up the league, but he can't take Walsh.

In short, what will happen to this deal between the Pacers and the Rockets in the future, is it still Donnie Walsh's 'win-win' style.

Or whether both the Pacers and the Rockets will fail big, it's not clear yet.

However, the Rockets and the Pacers completed the trade, which naturally disappointed many teams that were not able to get Barkley.

That includes the Warriors, who have also been selling Tim Hardaway.

While not getting Barkley, Tim Hardaway also needs to be traded.

In the end, the two teams that didn't get Barkley, the Warriors and the 76ers, completed the deal.

The Warriors sent away Tim Hardaway and got Jerry Starkerhouse for the 76ers.

The 76ers sent Jerry Stackhouse away to make way for Kobe.

As the season progresses, the 76ers' bottom-to-bottom spot is becoming more secure, and their No. 1 pick is becoming more secure.

Compared to Barkley, Tim Hardaway is indeed not that good, but he is also an All-Star.

When Kobe Bryant was the second in charge, he was fully qualified.

When the time comes, as long as Kobe Bryant is in place, the 76ers will be able to take off directly!

On the Warriors' side, what is important is the potential of Jerry Starkerhouse to be Jordan and Lin Han.

Jerry Starker House is the next Jordan and of course the next Lin Han.

Since watching the cooperation between Lin Han and Wang Zhizhi in the All-Star Game, Adelman can't sleep every day.

Why doesn't his team have a perfect player like Lin Han?

Jerry Starkerhouse is certainly not perfect right now.

But he has the potential to become perfect.

At least, the combination of him and Wang Zhizhi will give Adelman unlimited room for reverie.

In case, Jerry Stackhouse grows into a player like Lin Han, and Wang Zhizhi also matures, when the time comes, won't the Warriors take off?

The 76ers and Warriors are all trading for a bright future.

Since it's all about the future, it's definitely not going to work now.

Now, the whole league is the world of the Lakers, Bulls, SuperSonics and Magic, Jazz!

Originally, there were Rockets before, but after the Rockets traded Barkley, the level of abuse in the regular season dropped significantly.

After the Rockets got Dale Davis, the team's defense was significantly strengthened.

But offensively, it's not so consistent.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are the complete opposite of the Rockets.

On the Pacers' side, after getting Barkley, the level of abuse in the regular season has been greatly improved.

Barkley and Reggie Miller also complement each other well.

Barkley can make space inside, Reggie Miller can make space outside.

Compared to the Rockets' Drexler, it is clear that Reggie Miller is the most suitable outside partner for Barkley.

So, Barkley back in the East can be described as like a fish in water!

The trade-off, of course, is that the Pacers went from being a team that only allowed opponents to score more than 90 points per game and scored more than 90 points themselves.

It became a team that could score 110 points on its own and 110 points on its opponent.

Naturally, the fans are happy to watch this style, and so are the players of the team.

Reggie Miller could clearly feel that his offense was getting lighter even without Dale Davis' cover.

There are more points, and the ranking of the scoring charts is also rising.

Coupled with the team's excellent record, Reggie Miller has no reason to be upset.

And Barkley was happy.

Being abandoned by the rocket made him hold his breath.

In the Pacers, let's not say whether they can win or not, but if they play well, that's for sure.

That feeling of being invincible has come back to him.

As for whether Lin Han will wither again.

That will have to wait until the finals to see Lin Han.

The finals, what do you care about now!

Perhaps, the only thing that's bad right now is Pacers head coach Larry Brown.

The stubborn academic coach suddenly found that the team he was carrying seemed to be completely unrecognizable.

And it's like a wild horse that can't be pulled back.

Barkley isn't Reggie Miller, he's not that obedient!

Moreover, Barkley held back the fire in the Rockets, and now the most hated thing is to be pressed by people!

Now Barkley, he just wants to him, let those who look down on him see what coquettish is!

"The Rockets went down but got hard, the Pacers defense went down, but the game went up, and Downey made a perfect pick"

That's what Lin Han heard from Jerry West about the Barkley deal.

The logo has a high evaluation of this than a transaction.
