Four days after All-Star Weekend, the NBA trade deadline came as scheduled.

This is also the last time the trade deadline is set at this point in time, in the latest league announcement, starting next season, in order to avoid a situation similar to Cousins in last season's All-Star Game (before the All-Star break, it was suddenly announced that he was traded to the Pelicans by the Kings and caused the main game to be unintentional), starting next year, the trade deadline will be brought forward to before the All-Star weekend.

Despite the final symbol, this year's trade deadline is no different from previous years.

There are still undercurrents and rumors.

The Cavaliers are the most active team on the market, and the team's inconsistency and poor record have forced them to start looking for a trade.

They first pulled in the Lakers, sent 2018 first-round picks, Channing Fry and Corey Brewer, and traded Jordan Clarkson and Nance Jr. from the Lakers.

They then made another trade with the Kings, trading George Hill from the other side.

After making those trades, they are also ready to send Wade back to the Heat.

Although the trading chips are changing, the general situation is still similar to that of the previous life.

At this time, Tang Tian made a move.

The Cavaliers originally planned to send Wade to the Heat and trade for a 2020 second round, but under Tang Tian's instigation, the Nets directly intervened.

Deron's injury has left the Cavaliers feeling like they've been pitted by the Nets, but they can't turn down an offer from the Nets.

They are willing to trade Wade for the second-round pick they received from the Grizzlies in the offseason.

The Grizzlies' performance this season surprised everyone, they were originally aiming for a championship and they were first hopeless in the playoffs, and then after Mike Conley was injured and the season was reimbursed, they directly began to bury Gasol Jr. and began to mess up.

Last summer, Tang traded Dillon Brooks for the Grizzlies' 2018 second-round pick, which means that the value of the sign has increased significantly.

And because 2018 is a well-known draft year, compared to the Heat's second-round pick in 2020, the value is more than twice as high.

Although he had an agreement with Wade to send him back to the Heat, those things didn't matter in the face of interests.

After saying hello to Wade, the Cavaliers made a direct trade with the Nets.

Wade was sent to the Nets.

Returning to the Heat was his original plan, but he didn't show resistance to joining the Nets.

At the end of his career, being able to challenge the Warriors with the Nets is also a good end for him.

Wade's arrival makes up for Brogdon's departure and provides a wealth of playoff experience, which is a great addition to the Nets' youth-dominated roster.

After taking Wade, the Nets immediately pulled the Pistons and the Rockets to make a three-way deal.

The Nets sent Gerard Green and got Willie Reed from the Pistons.

The Pistons sent Willie Reed to the Rockets for a 2018 second-round pick.

The Rockets sent a 2018 second-round pick to Gerald Green.

Green signed a 2-year guaranteed contract with the Rockets in the summer of 16, and played well in the 16~17 season, but he was also squeezed out of the rotation in the new season.

Reed is a 2.06-meter interior lineman, who is on the short side, but tough on the counterpart, excellent defensively, and has a good finishing ability under the basket.

He had a good performance when he was still with the Clippers this season, averaging about 10 minutes per game as the third interior lineman, but had 5 points, 3 rebounds and 0.6 blocks.

If the Nets want to play in the playoffs, Oden will definitely not be able to play as a substitute inside, and Reed will be traded to be used as the third center.

And trading Green to the Rockets would also allow them to consume the Warriors more in the playoffs, and the deal would leave the Nets with about $1 million in luxury tax, which would be a triple win.

After completing these two trades one after the other, the Nets' roster increased to 14 players.

However, the Nets are no longer prepared to make moves on the trade market, and they have their sights set on the buyout deadline in March.

There are plenty of good veterans expected on the buyout free market this year, and a championship-contending team like the Nets is attractive to them.

Two days after the trade deadline, Tang Tian met Wade at the Barclays Center.

Wade is no longer the Flash of '06, he already has a lot of white threads in his sideburns and beard, he has played in the league for 15 seasons, and he is now 36 years old.

However, when he saw Tang Tian, Wade was still full of smiles.

Last summer, he wanted to go to the Cavaliers to help James, but unfortunately it backfired, and he was tired of the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room, and now he has switched to the championship-contending Nets, which is actually a really good change.

And Tang Tian is the godfather of basketball, and for an old player like him, he will be more respectful and close.

"Now you have a chance to play against the Warriors." Tang Tian laughed and Wade quipped.

Wade hasn't been out of the East since '06, and he went to the Cavaliers to help James and also want to play in the Finals.

Tang Tian's joke caused him to burst into laughter, and he also nodded and hugged Tang Tian.

Wade quickly integrated into the Nets' tactical system, but Tang Tian didn't give him a lot of playing time.

On the one hand, the combination of Rondo and Mitchell is doing well at the moment, and he doesn't want to break it; On the other hand, players like Wade can only really play in the playoffs, just like Maddie at the beginning.

He now positions Wade as a mentor and asks him to guide Mitchell in his growth.

Wade is not resistant, in fact, after staying with the Nets for a while, he admires Mitchell quite a lot, even if Tang Tian doesn't ask for it, he does not give Mitchell a small stove in private.

With Wade's guidance, Mitchell's performance has become more and more consistent, and the details on the court have been significantly better than before.

Everything is going in a good direction, and fans have more and more reason to believe that the Nets can play the role of a challenger and take the unbeatable Warriors out of the horse.

But that's when the last thing the team wanted was a wave of injuries.

Tucker crashed into Griffin during the game against the Pistons and left the game early with a knee injury.

The MRI report after the game tested negative, and Tucker will be out for about a week.

Because of the short absence, Tang Tian did not use honor points to exchange for iron knees, but because the buyout deadline has not yet arrived, the team's small forward position is a little short, he put Kuzma on the activation list, and recalled two-way player Ding Yanyuhang from the Development League.
