This season's All-Star Game is over, it is obvious that the biggest winner of this season's All-Star Weekend is Ye Xuan, not only did he win the highest award in the All-Star Weekend in the main game, AMVP, but he also won the double championship of the three-point contest and the dunk contest, especially the championship of the dunk contest, which made Ye Xuan's popularity improved again.

However, shortly after the All-Star break, an official announcement from the host city instantly shocked the entire league's jaws, this is a super trade about All-Star players, and this deal may directly rewrite the current trend of the entire West.

Early in the morning of February 21, even some All-Star players who did not leave New Orleans were stunned by the news, the Kings chose to trade him out under repeated pressure from the gods, in this deal, the Kings sent DeMarcus Cousins and Omi Cosby, and the Pelicans needed to send Terrence Jones, a 2018 first-round pick, a 2019 first-round pick, and a 2018 second-round pick. and defender Buddy Hield. The trade also included guard Ronston Galloway, but the Kings are likely to cut him later.

This transaction is no less than the Paulo Gasol deal that the Lakers robbed the Grizzlies back then, so as to obtain the trade of Pau Gasol, who contributed to their next two consecutive championships, after all, the Pelicans are now in a very good position in the West, they are ranked third in the West, and they are higher than the traditional strong teams in the West such as the Spurs, and now they have Cousins in the bag, then their combat effectiveness will be improved again, The Lakers, who are currently leading the league, could also fall short in their confrontations.

According to Wojnarowski's previous revelations, the Kings were actively contacting for trade on the day of the All-Star break, hoping to get young talent, draft picks or expiring contracts, rather than a star of equal value to Cousins, and the Pelicans' offer finally impressed them.

The Magic also negotiated with the Kings over the past two days, but they refused to trade last year's top pick Brandon Ingram, and the Kings ultimately ruled them out of the selection range. In addition to wanting young players, the Kings also want to make a difference in this year's draft, and all of their own first-round picks are protected by top-10 picks from the Bulls, which is not secure; Although the Pelicans' first-round picks this year are not particularly valuable, they will face a series of contract renewal problems after this year, if in the playoff confrontation, the Pelicans are not able to win the final championship, then they will have trouble next season in renewing Anthony, renewing Holiday and Cousins, and now the Kings just want to be able to gamble, if they win the bet, then they have a chance to be like the current Celtics, Holds the Pelicans' first-round pick, which declined for a few years.

Cousins has been with the Kings for seven seasons, averaging 27.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season while shooting 45.1% from the field. The Pelicans' Hield was last year's first-round pick No. 6, This season, he averaged 20.4 minutes per game, 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists, and Terrence Jones did not fall after leaving the Rockets this season, but gradually found his rhythm next to Anthony and Bushy Eyebrows, he averaged 9.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season, and this is due to his low tactical status in the team, if the Kings develop him as the team's No. 2 man, it is also a good choice, of course, they need to find that No. 1 man first.

Cousins will be teammates with Davis, Anthony and Holiday in the future, and the Pelicans can be regarded as having their own "Big Four", and the twin towers formed by him and thick eyebrows are also very terrifying. At present, the Kings are ranked 9th in the West with a record of 24-33, and the Pelicans are ranked 3rd with 41 wins and 15 losses.

And after this transaction, various teams have also taken advantage of this wind to begin to officially announce that their teams have negotiated a deal, the first to release the transaction information, is the Wizards, they announced a deal on February 24, but the main body of the deal is not particularly eye-catching, the Wizards sent Andrew Nicholson, Marcus Thornton, 2017 first-round pick (lottery protection) and the Nets sent Bojan Bogdanovic, Chris McCullough.

The Mavericks have since announced a trade in which they have sent Andrew Bogut and Justin Anderson to the 76ers, along with a 2017 first-round pick (top-18 pick protected), in exchange for a promising interior caller, Nolens Noel. Of course, this deal itself will not have any impact on the structure of the league, but the 76ers' next move has attracted a lot of teams that hope to hit the championship - because they themselves traded Nolens Noel because of the surplus of interior players, so they bought out Bogut's contract directly after the trade was acquired, that is, Bogut now has a few days of claim period, and after this time, he will become a free agent, and the salary is also given by the 76ers, This has made teams including the Rockets, Lakers and Cavaliers who want to challenge for the championship look forward to it, after all, Bogut is a center with championship experience, if he can be successfully signed, then the three teams can be greatly relieved of the relatively weak interior situation.

However, for now, Bogut is still living in Dallas temporarily, waiting for these teams to come to him with sincerity. In addition to the X-factor of Bogut, the Thunder also made a deal that improved their strength, they sent Cameron Payne, Joffrey Lovelne and Anthony Morrow from the Bulls in exchange for Ty Gibson, Doug McDermott and the 2018 second-round pick, the main body of this deal is naturally Ty Gibson, after acquiring Gibson, the Thunder's interior offense has also been completely resolved, originally after trading out Ibaka, The Thunder are in a bit of a less than ideal situation right now, but they have been doing well this season because they have a completely rampaging Will, and now with another Ty Gibson, they have a chance to cause some problems for players like the Warriors or the Lakers in the playoffs.

Then there's a blue-collar deal for the team, with the Suns sending PJ Tucker and the Raptors sending Jared Sallinger and second-round picks in 2017 and 2018. Tucker is actually a very good blue-collar player, but the Suns are reluctant to give Tucker a big contract next year, so they can only trade him.

And the Lakers have been brewing to seek a trade, first of all, they also contacted the Kings in an attempt to intervene in the Cousins trade, but before they had time to inquire, they were directly told that Cousins had been traded to the Pelicans, one of the Lakers' biggest opponents, which made the Magic a little helpless, but since Cousins is gone, then the Kings also have Rudy Gay, if they can trade Guy at a cabbage price, So at least the Lakers' small forward position can also be improved to a certain extent, to be honest, although the Lakers small forward position is now with Solomon Hill and Clarkson to top the cylinder, but the two of them in the face of small forwards such as Anthony, James, Pickled Pepper and Durant have a height and weight advantage, it still seems to be very disadvantaged, although Solomon Hill is originally good at defense, but his height is destined to allow him to only have an advantage when defending backcourt players.

And Rudy Gay is obviously not in the Kings' future plans right now, and now that they have traded Cousins, they must be ready for a complete rebuild. So now the Lakers don't have a chance to get Rudy Gay into their hands, but since the Kings are going to rebuild, then of course they want some top draft picks or some players with potential who can become the cornerstone of the team, and the Lakers meet this condition, except for Ye Xuan, only Clarkson and Randle are left, and these two Lakers are obviously reluctant to trade, so the final deal can only be lost.

But this time to the Kings, in the end, the Lakers did not gain nothing, the Kings in order to be able to reach the deal about Cousins, so in order to be able to make room, they chose to cut the veteran Matt Barnes, although Matt Barnes has some personality problems, but he was also one of the heroes of the Lakers in the past, and he played for the Lakers in the 10-11 season and the 11-12 season. Although the Lakers failed to win the championship in those two years, Barnes's strong defense still left a good impression on the fans, but unfortunately for various reasons, Barnes finally failed to stay with the Lakers, but went to the Clippers next door.

Anyway, now the Lakers are also looking for this kind of player who can make some contributions on the defensive end, so it is not a problem to sign Barnes directly with a base salary, after all, there is also a Ci Shiping in the team who is in a similar situation, the old Artest actually played a total of 11 games this season, and he played less than 7 minutes per game, but in addition to the three cores of the Lakers, he is the one with the highest voice in the locker room. And now Ye Xuan is even suspecting that the Magic is still keeping Artest, in fact, he is playing Artest's son's idea, although his son is still in high school, it will take at least two or three years to enter the NBA, but if he can cultivate a good impression now, then maybe in the future, he will be a Kobe Bryant, in order to come to the Lakers to play, and even force the palace team not to report to the loyal minister. As for why the idea of beating Atay's son? Then take a look at his son's dominance in high school competitions, and everyone will basically understand.

Although the Lakers gained a defensive stalwart Matt Barnes in the days before the trade deadline, the Magic still did not give up the opportunity to continue to strengthen the team, and he continued to seek the possibility of strengthening the team's interior defense. In the end, they locked their eyes on Ye Xuan's former teammate, Roy Hibbert, Hibbert has been playing year after year since he left the Pacers, and when he was in the Suns at the beginning, he was barely able to average 13 points and 7 rebounds per game, but then he was signed by Mr. Joe's Hornets, Mr. Joe gave up Al Jefferson and signed Hibbert, and originally thought that the annual salary of five million was cheap, but he didn't expect that Hibbert would play even worse this season, It's completely like the closest spectator to the players on the court, all kinds of sleepwalking, the Hornets are also pitted by him, and they were able to play the playoffs last year, but this year they went to the top ten in the East.

The magic felt that since Ye Xuan was able to successfully activate Hibbert when he was with the Pacers, then after he traded him, even if he couldn't play the kind of combat power he had when he was with the Pacers, at least he could recover some combat effectiveness a little, so he directly launched an inquiry with the Hornets, and on the Hornets' side, Old Man Joe was trying to find a way to send Hibbert out, and he had already decided to send him to the Nuggets at the price of a second-round pick. But now that the Magic has come in, it's not bad to sell him for a favor, so in the end, the Lakers traded Hibbert to the Lakers for the same second-round pick.

At this point, the Lakers' reinforcement plan before the trade deadline has come to an end, and now the Lakers' roster has finally expanded to 14 players, if this is still due to injuries and lack of combatants, then the Lakers have no other way, and then they may be able to wait for other teams to lay off or directly recruit fighters in subordinate teams.

There weren't many deals going on at this year's trade deadline, but because there were deals about Kaoshen, the newspapers were still full of analysis of these deals and prospects for the future of the alliance.
