Chapter 360: 2013 NBA Trade Deadline (3/10)

Tonight's All-Star Game was a fierce stalemate, and it was only in the final minute that Paul hit a key shot to help the West team win 143-138.

Anthony had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Wade had 21 points and seven assists, George had 17 points and four assists, and Irving had 15 points and four assists.

On the Western side, Durant had 30 points and 6 boards, Paul had 20 points and 15 assists, Griffin had 19 points and 3 boards, Harden had 15 points and 6 boards, and Kobe Bryant had 9 points and 9 assists.

The All-Star Game MVP should traditionally be awarded to the person with the highest score, so that Durant can achieve two consecutive All-Star Game titles.

However, the organizing committee finally gave the award to Paul, who had more comprehensive statistics, and it was the first time in his career that he won the AMVP award.

Durant: @!#$%^&*......

Tang Tian played 15 minutes under head coach Brooks in this game, and scored 11 points and 2 assists on 4-of-5 shooting and 3-of-4 shooting.

The first time I participated in the All-Star Game, I scored 10 points, which is already a very good result.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with Kobe.

Scored 3 three-pointers, 2 of which were Kobe Bryant's assists.

It seems that Kobe Bryant said to him yesterday that he wanted to recruit him to the Lakers, and he didn't just say it.

"This is the first time I've seen a boss willing to take the initiative to pass the ball to someone else, godfather, welcome to Los Angeles!"

"You may not have noticed that Kobe Bryant passed 2 balls to Don, and Don's 2 assists were all Kobe's, they have a lot of chemistry!"

"Kupchak, did you hear that? This is your best chance to save yourself and quote a poison contract next year! ”

"Yes, we have all the room to maneuver, Howard has the bird rights to renew his contract, and we have enough money to make an offer until then!"

"Don will bring a lot of energy to the Lakers defense and his passing will help the team on the fast break as well!"

"Don is the young Artest, and he's the only solution to the Lakers' mess!"

……

After the All-Star game, Lakers fans have completely fried the pot on social media.

This group of extreme fans, the same group of people who threatened to give Kupchak a mouth, are now eager to put a knife on Kupchak's neck and let him get Tang Tian to the Lakers.

But the fans' anxiety didn't really do much.

The Spurs may have received a lot of offers, but they all turned them down.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the All-Star Game has ended for 4 days.

On this day, the 2013 NBA trade deadline officially approached.

Whether Howard will be traded and whether Tang Tian will leave the team are the focus of attention of many fans.

As 0:00 approaches, all kinds of small transactions are constantly being exposed.

The Thunder sent a second-round pick, acquiring Ronnie Brewer from the Knicks;

The Thunder sent Eric Maynor, a trade pardon option from the Trail Blazers, and a rookie signing to Greek small forward Giogos Plitheath (28th pick in 2007).

The Mavericks sent Dundee Jones to Anthony Morrow in a trade from the Hawks.

The Rockets sent Marcus Morris to the Suns for a second-round pick;

The Rockets sent Patterson, Tony Douglas and Kerr Aldridge to the Kings in a trade for Thomas Robinson, Garcia, Tyler Hannikater and a second-round pick.

The Celtics sent Jason Collins and Barbosa to Jordan Crawford in a trade from the Wizards.

……

Some of them were rumored before, and some of them were sudden.

But overall, it's just a small fight.

And seeing that 0:00 is approaching, there is no big movement.

Just when the waiting fans were about to fall asleep, two whistle-blowing deals were struck.

The first one to break out was a serial deal.

The Magic sent Redick, Gustavo Ayon, Ismael Smith, and the Bucks in a trade for Doron Lamb, Tebias Harris and Benno Udri.

At the same time, the Magic also sent Josh McRoberts to the Bobcats and traded for Hakeem Warrick.

The Magic team in the summer's four-way trade made the first move.

And around the same time, the Lakers also closed a trade.

They sent Jordan Hill and Johnson Odom and a future second-round pick, traded for Shaun Livingston and CJ Myers from the Cavaliers.

The Lakers reached this deal, which means that Howard officially stays with the team.

And Tang Tian, who was surrounded by many rumors before, still stayed in the Spurs.

Tang Tian had already expected this result.

The Spurs' Shi Lezhi will trade him away at this point in time.

However, he noticed that the Lakers traded both of the men he mentioned at once.

Livingston is a good playmaker with the ball and defends on the line, while Myers is a very good 3-and-D.

It seems that Kobe Bryant has made a choice.

In this way, Kobe Bryant will most likely not break his Achilles tendon, and the Lakers will be much more competitive in the playoffs.

Of course, all this is just a matter of what the Lakers will ultimately do, and we will not know until the second half of the season.

After all, compared to adding a few role players, the Lakers' old guys, as well as the contradictions between Kobe Bryant and Howard, are the big problems.

After the trade deadline, the final lineups of each team have been basically decided.

Holt's home.

Buford was on pins and needles at this point.

The Spurs received too many trade proposals for Tang Tian at this trade deadline this past time.

Although the Spurs eventually refused, it shows that Tang Tian's market value is really large.

It's just a trade proposal now, and by the time the summer comes, it's likely to be a poison contract.

Popovich was also silent at this time.

He can basically confirm one thing now, the Spurs want to keep Tang Tian in the summer, and the poison contract is settled.

Although the Spurs don't have as many long contracts as the Knicks and Bulls before them, a contract close to 14 million a year is by no means a small contract.

For the Spurs, if they want to keep Tang Tian this time, they will have to bleed.

But bloodletting or not bloodletting, the right to speak is on the side of Holt and the other team's petty owners.

Holt didn't say anything, and he looked at Popovich very badly now.

Before he asked Popovich to find a way to reduce Tang Tian's playing time and number of shots, Popovich only made a symbolic appearance.

Now that's the result.

Three people, three different ideas, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the living room was very oppressive.

"I've already discussed with other bosses, it's impossible for us to pay so much luxury tax for Tang Tian."

It was Holt who broke the silence first, his attitude the same as the last time the three of them met.

Popovich coughed dryly twice at this time.

Buford glanced at Popovich and straightened his back.

"The kind of big contract for a year, my side can still solve it under the luxury tax." He continued.

He had already met with Popovich before he came, and together they were ready to try to convince Holt.
