Chapter 278 Trading
After the Cavaliers' two big players were sidelined, Matthew Dlavedova was also promoted to the starting lineup, and Vitesse was still off the bench.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that even if the fans scold Owen and LeFou, their team status will not change for the time being, and Vitesse is the last chance.
If he can't play well with the ball, the Cavaliers won't keep him even if he has a second-round pick.
Anyway, it doesn't help to stay, and the team won't renew his contract, this guy doesn't match James and Irving, and he will definitely be the object of sacrifice.
On January 4, the Cavaliers welcomed the Western Conference powerhouse Mavericks at home.
The Mavericks have been ruthless this season, trading back former championship hero Tyson Chandler in the summer, acquiring potential rising star Chandler Parsons, and not long ago trading Rajon Rondo.
got three tens of millions of stars in one go, and Nowitzki took the initiative to reduce his salary and get the fifth money in the team.
Their results in the first two months weren't in Pot 1, but they were very good.
Now the knight meets the calf, it must be difficult to fight.
As expected, the Mavericks were in control of the game from start to finish.
Irving was not in good shape and left the game early with an injury, and Love played the stats but it didn't make any sense.
Another injury is made, the Cavaliers are terrified, they have spent so much money to build a roster, if it is ruined by injuries, the management will go crazy.
Fortunately, Owen's side has not had much impact, just like Lefu before, it's just a small problem, just take a break.
David Blatter is under a lot of pressure, and now that there are fewer people, the more he will dare not fight the main force, otherwise if something happens, he will be the first scapegoat.
Well, wrong, the first scapegoat has already appeared, and Vitesse has finally been traded.
The Cavaliers weren't the only team that was bothering, so Waiters made a move, and the Cavaliers also got two additions and a second-round pick.
The Cavaliers need instant combat power, so they didn't directly exchange draft picks, and it just so happened that the Thunder needed to score because of injuries, and they also took out a first-round pick that could be conditionally protected in exchange for Vites, which can be regarded as true love.
The Cavaliers did a good job in the trade, the Thunder didn't have the immediate power in their hands, and they also pulled in a three-way trade for the Knicks, who had a mess and needed a major reshuffle, and thus got Iman Smith.
The Cavaliers just need a sixth man, Smith is one of their targets, and getting a defensive guard is purely cheap, after all, the Thunder and Knicks are in a very bad situation.
The problem now is that Smith is also a problem person, and he is older than Vites, and if he is disobedient, he will probably be more troublesome than Vites.
But the team has no choice, the summer has already gambled, and now I don't mind betting more, anyway, the main framework of the team has not moved, if it doesn't work, it can be traded again.
In fact, the team does have trades, and they are the interior line that the team lacks the most to help defend.
From the Thunder's first-round pick, it was for head coach David Blatter's former favorite, Russian center Timofey Mozgov, who played for the Nuggets, two protected first-round picks, and the Cavaliers can be described as painstaking.
The timing of these two trades is just right, and the Cavaliers' manager, David Griffin, is also a capable guy.
In the case that the players who were traded have not officially joined, Love led the team to lose to the bottom team 76ers, although he got 28+19 data.
He and Owen both belonged to the same category when they led the team, and there were no wins with statistics.
The 76ers drafted a bunch of rookies in the summer and traded out all the older ones on the team, and just as potential rookie Joel Embiid was also reimbursed, the team continued to mess up.
The knights can also lose, I really don't know if they are hi or the other party is hi.
Although there are no more stars, this also shows that the Cavaliers have not yet entered the state of competing for the championship, and the real strong team will not lose even if it is on the second team, because the tactics will not be a grade.
Now the fans of the Cavaliers are waiting for the new signings to appear and the main team to return.
The two people who were traded by the Knicks came to the team first, and Smith still has a little grudge.
The first time he participated in the training, Smith swaggered over, "Dude, let's go head-to-head, the main position of the team has not yet been decided." ”
Before Zhang Xiaotian could answer, James's face changed, and he said: "What a heads-up, Zhang is still recuperating from an injury, the main coach of the team has his own arrangements, I hope everyone pays attention to how to win together." ”
"LeBron, don't be nervous, I'm just kidding, let's get acquainted." Smith didn't care.
James had a serious expression, "Okay, I'll tell you about the team first. ”
Smith and Shampert were nagged by his confidant brother James for hours, and of course James invited the newcomer to a nightclub to have a good time.
Smith's debut with the Cavaliers didn't go well, and he was also associated with the Rockets, coming to Cleveland as a guest.
The Rockets gave up Parsons and Jeremy Lin, but the strength has improved compared to last season, and Ariza, who has returned to the Rockets, is indeed more suitable for the Rockets than Parsons, who has the ball.
And the newly signed Josh Smith and Corey Brewer are also great additions, allowing the Rockets to upgrade on both offensive and defensive ends once.
Irving and Love both performed well this time, but they couldn't compare to the Rockets' seven-man double-double.
Smith just hit a few irons on the court and didn't score a single point.
The fans panicked all of a sudden, and Smith looked less reliable than Vitesse.
James is also heartbroken, he has already talked about adding a visit, Smith can't fit into the team, and the Cavaliers don't have the leverage to continue trading this season.
Another new signing of the team, Mozgov, also arrived as scheduled, and James was busy again, because this is the head coach who has long taken a fancy to him, and it is estimated that it is easy to integrate into the tactics.
It's just that the team has lost three in a row after three consecutive defeats, and I don't know when it will be a head.
On January 9th, Smith started, and Smith scored and showed a strong scoring ability, which is also a rare shot.
Mozgov is a little better, and it feels like he's going to be a decent insider.
It's just that the team faced the second Warriors in the West who were playing at home, and they were beaten to no end.
The Warriors didn't make any big moves on the player side in the summer, just changed head coaches and then took off.
Former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson didn't lead the team badly, and they were questioned after replacing them with new coach Steve Kerr, but it turns out that some people are born coaches.
The more powerful Splash Brothers, finally reused Draymond Green, the Cavaliers are gorgeously losing streak.
