In the past month, the Brooklyn Nets have been mired in various trade rumors, and finally, on the first day of February, the Nets officially announced two "trades".

However, the protagonist of the trade is not starting center Lopez, who has been involved in trade rumors, but someone else.

The first news on the Nets' official website is that the Nets and the Hawks have reached a trade agreement, with the former trading center Greg Smith and forward Tonik Shengilia for forward Kyle Korver.

Nets center Greg Smith played in the Mexican league and NBDL, and in the 2011-12 season he performed well in the NBDL, averaging 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, shooting 68% from the field, ranking first in the NBDL league, and on February 8, 2012, the Rockets signed Greg Smith, who played in the NBDL, but was then packaged and sent to the Nets in the "big trade" involving tall and strong.

However, after coming to the Nets, Greg Smith played well, once occupied the position of the team's main center, helping the Nets to play a wave of 10 consecutive wins, during which Smith averaged 10.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game "quasi-double-double" data.

And another player on the Nets, Tonick? Shengelia is a young young player from Georgia who played as a small forward and entered the NBA with the 54th pick in the second round in the 2012 draft, and has a potential wing player.

The Hawks' Kyle Korver is a "veteran" player who played in the NBA for nearly a decade, and he was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 22nd pick in the second round of the 2003 draft. But it was then traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Korver's offensive approach is simple, shooting from range when there is a gap on the perimeter, but he is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

The "two-for-one" deal was based on an accidental injury to Atlanta Hawks interior Al Horford, who sprained his ankle against the Bulls and will be sidelined for two months.

The Hawks need a reliable interior for that, and they're eyeing the Nets' backup center Greg Smith, who has had very little playing time since Lopez returned and signed Anderson.

Also, young Tonyk? Shengelia is more of a "buy one, get one free".

And the reason why this deal can be successful is that the Nets promise to give Kyle Korver, whose contract is about to expire, a satisfactory extension.

After this deal. Korver's three-pointer would be a great complement to the Nets' offensive type. It also boosts the team's depth in the No. 3 position.

'Smith is a very dedicated player, he's been very committed with us, even after Lopez came back and he didn't play much. But he also faced it calmly. I wish him all the best in his new team," Nets general manager Billy King and a group of players including Tall and Strong sent their best wishes to Smith.

And for Korver. Nets general manager Billie King said: "Kyle Korver has proven himself to be a very valuable player, and we are looking forward to his return, he has a very positive impact on this team"

The second piece of news from the Nets' official website was an announcement by the Brooklyn Nets. They took over defender Carlos Delfino's contract and brought him to New York.

The so-called takeover contract, in practical effect, can be understood as signing, the essence of the takeover is that within 48 hours of a player being cut by the original team, a new team announces that it is willing to continue to execute his contract, so the player will join the new team with the same contract as the original, the advantage of this is that the player still uses the same contract, does not affect his Bird clause calculation and so on.

Delfino has played seven seasons in the NBA before, and the data shows that Delfino has played a total of 450 NBA regular season games for multiple teams, including 165 starts, averaging 7.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and shooting 38.2% from three-point range.

In the 2010-11 season, Delfino made a career-high 134 three-pointers, and in the 11-12 season, Delfino averaged a new personal high of 2.1 three-pointers per game, which ranked eighth in the league.

Delfino was cut by the team the day before yesterday after being traded to the Jazz, so the Nets immediately signed Delfino at this moment, and many media and experts believe that this reflects the role played by Gao Dazhuang in the team, because when he was with the Rockets, Delfino had a good personal relationship with Gao Dazhuang.

Nets general manager Billie King advertised that the addition of Delfino will further enhance the team's three-point ability, so as to complement the team's backcourt and better fill the void caused by Delon's absence.

……

In addition, after the Nets announced two trades, the NBA's official website also officially announced the starting list for the 2013 All-Star Game on the same day.

As in previous years, the 10 players who started the East and West were all voted for by fans, and more than 100 million votes were cast from 220 countries around the world.

In the end, Gao Dazhuang became the top voter in this year's All-Star voting with 2,691,437 votes, and he also became the first player after Jordan to enter the NBA All-Star Game in his rookie season.

In addition, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers has been selected to the All-Star team 15 times in a row, which has broken the NBA historical record.

The Flyers were named to an All-Star for the 15th time, which also tied him for second all-time with Shaq O'Neal, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 19.

The starting lineups in the East are: Brooklyn Nets' Tall Strong, Miami Heat's James, New York Knicks' Anthony, Miami Heat's Wade and Celtics' Garnett.

The starting lineups in the West are: Kobe Bryant and Howard of the Los Angeles Lakers, Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Paul and Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Compared to the results of the previous official voting results announced by the league, the final starting lineup was no different from the last time the votes were announced, and Bosh failed to complete the comeback over Garnett in the final round of voting, missing out on the starting position.

In the West, Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American player, was less than 50,000 votes behind Paul in the third round of voting, but Lin was unable to complete the comeback with only 883,809 votes.

Howard's departure to the West is the biggest change from last year's All-Star starting lineup, and he joined the Lakers this season to replace last year's Andrew Bynum as the starting center in the West.

The vacancy left by Howard as the Eastern Conference starter was occupied by Garnett this year, and because starting guard Derrick Rose has been unable to play due to injury last year, Gao Dazhuang took his place as the "vote king".

There is no suspense in the starting lineup in the West, and the performance of Wade and Garnett in the East lineup is not the best level, both of them have a big decline in all statistics compared with last season, but the two are still successfully selected by virtue of their huge influence among fans.

The backcourt combination of the Western All-Star starters is clearly better than the East in terms of individual strength and performance, with Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant still being the league's best No. 1 and No. 2 players, and both have played one of the best seasons of their careers.

Kobe Bryant's 29.9 points per game is the league's highest in the league, and his 47.8% shooting percentage is a career high, while Paul leads the Clippers to a 30-9 record, and he is one of the biggest favorites for MVP.

The Eastern Wade's performance has declined a bit compared to the past, and the Flash's stats have slipped to the lowest value since his rookie season.

But the tall and strong "new army spurt" has more expectations in the East, and the rookie king is currently in fourth place on the scoring list with an average of 27.7 points per game, and is ready to replace Kobe Bryant as the league's best scoring guard.

The matchup between Tall and Strong and Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the most exciting.

For the first time, the All-Star Game eliminated the center position, and the frontcourt lineup was only set up with three forwards.

Howard and Garnett are the obvious starting No. 5 players in the East and West roster, and although Warcraft struggled at the start of the season, Howard returned to the league's No. 1 center as he recovered from injury and worked with the team, and he clearly had a huge advantage over the veteran Garnett, who was gradually declining in form.

The East wants to play against the West, and LeBron and Melon need to help Garnett more or find strength from the bench.

In the No. 3 and No. 4 forward positions, Durant in the West will once again play a peak PK with LeBron, two of the best players in the league today, while Carmelo Anthony, who is in excellent form, will face the impact of Griffin.

"Emperor" James really showed the confidence and domineering of the king after winning the championship, he averaged 26 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

Durant, on the other hand, is trying to catch up with LeBron and wants to be a more well-rounded player, averaging 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks in addition to his 28.7 points per game, and his shooting percentage has risen to a career-high 52.5%.

Anthony was reborn like the Knicks, "Melon" Anthony paid more attention to defense and was more selfless, averaging a career-high 29.3 points per game, becoming the favorite for the season's scoring title and MVP.

Griffin's stats, including playing time, have dropped from last season, but his flamboyant dunk performance is still the biggest attraction in the All-Star game.

Judging from the strength "on paper", the Western All-Star starters are stronger than the Eastern All-Star starters.

In addition, the remaining 14 All-Star bench players are voted for by the league's 30 head coaches, and each can vote for seven players in their respective divisions, including two backcourt players, three frontcourt players, and two position-neutral players.

However, the manager cannot choose the players he coaches the team.

The head coach of the East and West Stars will be the head coaches of the two teams with the best records in the East and West before the All-Star break, and last season, Tom Hiberdu of the Bulls and Scott Brooks of the Thunder served as the head coaches of the East and West Stars, respectively, and according to the rules, they are not eligible to coach the stars continuously this season.
