Almost at the same time as the Brooklyn Nets official website announced the trade, the Denver Nuggets held a press conference immediately.

"Welcome to all media friends" Nuggets general manager Marseille Ujiri said to the media in the press conference room of the Pepsi Center in Denver: "First of all, please allow us to say goodbye to Andre Iguodala, Kenneth Farriede, and Timofey Mozgov with gratitude, the Denver Nuggets are proud to have such hard-working, selfless and outstanding players, they are exemplary every day of their time with the Nuggets, and the team will always remember their contributions to the team. Wishing them a wonderful career to continue with their new team."

"In this trade, the Nuggets acquired the player we need the most - Brook Lopez, and now having Lopez as a 7-foot-tall dominant young All-Star center will lay the cornerstone of the team's future interior in one fell swoop, and we have reason to believe that Lopez will be a strong guarantee for the Nuggets' re-emergence," Nuggets general manager Marseille Ugery said confidently.

"At the same time, the Nuggets will also get Stephen Jackson, who has been in the league for more than ten years, Stephen is an old acquaintance of the Nuggets, he has a lot of game experience, and we have a lot of potential young players at the moment, and we are very much in need of Stephen Jackson to come to the team as a locker room leader and mentor, and use his leadership and championship experience to help young players grow" Marseille Ugery then began to detail the trade.

It was a "three-team, seven-man" deal involving the Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs and Brooklyn Nets, backed by multiple trade exceptions and cash deals. The transaction was completed.

The Denver Nuggets sent small forward Andre Iguodala, power forward Kenneth Faried, and center Timofey Mozgov and a second-round pick in the top 55 of 2014 to All-Star center Brook Lopez, guard swingman Stephen Jackson and a trade exception.

The San Antonio Spurs sent small forward Kawhi Leonard and guard swingman Stephen Jackson and a trade exception to get outside guard stalwart Andre Iguodala and point guard Tyshawn Taylor, as well as some cash.

The Brooklyn Nets sent All-Star center Brook Lopez, point guard Tyshawn Taylor, and some cash to small forward Kawhai Leonard, power forward Kenneth Faried, and center Timofey Mozgov, as well as a second-round pick from 2014 with the top 55 pick.

The transaction was more or less unexpected by many, but it was also reasonable, and there were many reasons that contributed to the completion of this transaction.

Since Gao Dazhuang joined the Brooklyn Nets, although the Nets' results are thriving, Lopez's position is relatively awkward, and his rebounding shortcomings have made the Nets injured more than once, in front of the tall and strong offensive force. Lopez's scoring ability also doesn't seem so important.

The Nets had tried to get Howard "Monster" through a trade. But after the Lakers explicitly rejected the trade request, the Brooklyn Nets relented and found other options.

Of course, one of the most important reasons for this is that the Brooklyn Nets are developing tall and strong to become the absolute leader of the team. Any player who stands in his way will be eliminated without hesitation. Even All-Star players like Lopez.

Now the same can be said. Being tall and strong is the only core and cornerstone of the Brooklyn Nets.

And the Nuggets have been hoping to have an All-Star caliber player again since Carmelo Anthony left New York, even though Kenneth "Half-Orc" Faried is very good. But he's not good enough to compare to All-Star center Brook Lopez.

Despite his poor days with the Nets, Lopez is averaging 19.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season, with a personal efficiency of 25.42 and a 51.7% shooting percentage, and he was named to this year's All-Star Eastern Team.

Obviously, his arrival will greatly improve the offensive ability of the Nuggets, and the Nuggets are also determined to build a team with Lopez as the core.

Andre Iguodala also left because the Nuggets could not meet his next long-term contract, and according to the agreement between the Spurs and Iguodala, Iguodala will give up his $16.1 million salary next season and sign a four-year contract with the Spurs instead.

In Iguodala's view, it is clearly better to get a long-term contract than to hold on to the final year.

For the San Antonio Spurs, sophomore Cowai Leonard is currently averaging 11.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, which is a very good stat, but again, Couwai Leonard is still a rookie compared to the long-standing former All-Star Andre Iguodala.

With the Spurs' core duo of "GDP" getting older, it's clear that the Spurs are looking to win the league again in Duncan's twilight years, and Andre Iguodala is the perimeter defensive gate they desperately need.

As for veteran Stephen Jackson, a member of the Spurs, according to sources, the reason why the Spurs made the decision to trade Jackson at such a special point in time is that he has many conflicts with coach Popovich, and the main purpose is to prevent him from "impacting" those Spurs players who have entered the playoff rotation.

……

"The Denver Nuggets got the coveted 'All-Star,' while the San Antonio Spurs got the 'now,' and the Brooklyn Nets are pinning their hopes on the 'future,'" was ESPN's comment on the 'three-way seven' deal.

Despite some controversy, most of the New York media also gave full credit to the Nets' deal.

There is a certain "conflict" between Brook Lopez and Gao Da Zhuang on the ball road, and if you have to choose between Lopez and Gao Da Zhuang, the shrewd New Yorker will of course choose the latter without any suspense.

Tall and strong, who has only been in the league for a few months, has already broken a series of league records, and he's still growing rapidly. He brought Brooklyn box office, attention, results, and hope for the future.

The Brooklyn Nets have also made a clear decision to build a team with Tall and Strong as the core, and the trades for Kawhai Leonard, Kenneth Faried, and Timofey Mozgov are all young players with great potential, and they have plenty of time to grow with Tall and Strong.

The oldest of the trio in the trade, Timofey Mozgov, is also only 26 years old, and he has the skills and skills of a small forward, with strong impact and incredible athleticism.

Mozgov's weakness is that he is not at the highest level in terms of his individual ability, and he needs to improve his shooting ability, but in Brooklyn he doesn't have to worry about offense, his main task is to defend. He could be a theoretically good interior player in the Nets' system. However, it remains to be verified whether it can be put into practice.

Kenneth? Faried is a player who is good at doing the dirty work, playing with a conscientious attitude, outstanding defensive skills, and a tough style known as the "half-orc". He is recognized as a defensive titan in the league.

"Faried has an endless amount of energy. He'll do whatever he can to grab the rebound. There's a desire to conquer rebounds" is Tall Strong's advice to Nets general manager Billy King, and it's the most direct reason why Faried came to Brooklyn.

And Kawhai Leonard, like Faried, was the standout of last year's rookies, and they are just as young and energetic.

Cowanard Leonard does not have any social tools software accounts personally. He's almost isolated from the world, Spurs coach Greg? Popovich once broke the news: "Leonard never spoke to me, so I don't really know what level of confidence he has, but when you watch him play, you know that he doesn't have any problems, he just plays and then goes home".

That's exactly what Brooklyn needs, a player who is committed and doesn't fight for leadership.

And Couwai-Leonard has terrifying hands, and when the hands are fully open, the straight-line distance from the tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb is 11.5 inches (0.2921 meters), which is reminiscent of Dr. J, who also has large hands.

In addition, Kawhai Leonard's long arm helped him grab a lot of rebounds, and the defense also put some pressure on the opponent, and the offensive and defensive role is obviously his long arm can always limit the opponent's "arrow" figure in the game.

Overall, Kawhai Leonard is an athletic forward with outstanding arms, underrated ball-handling ability, rarely fouls, able to finish offense and hit three-pointers, and a flank defensive stalwart with reach, speed, confrontation and awareness.

"It's a good deal," said Howard Baker, a veteran sports reporter for The New York Times.

"I respect the Nets' choice" Before parting, Brook Lopez wrote on Twitter, with a hint of reluctance and some unwillingness.

But the NBA is a commercial league, where it takes luck to be loyal to a team from start to finish, some people want to leave and don't want to stay, but only a small percentage of them are dominantly traded.

Actually, not everyone likes to move, adapt to new teammates, new coaches, new tactics.

The NBA's trade deadline is this week, and it's really crazy these days, and it's not about seeing NBA players express their feelings on Twitter, or lament the departure of friends and teammates, or wish them a better life in the future.

At this time, it's a bit like graduating from college and going their separate ways, and the people who used to be together every day are suddenly not so easy to see, which always makes people feel a little caught off guard.

In the face of transactions, the parties have been honed more indifferent than fans, and some players who are loved by fans can only repeat the same words repeatedly in interviews: "Business is business, this is the NBA, and transactions will always happen."

Gao Dazhuang was also traded, and it was "twice", talking about his being traded, Gao Dazhuang also said frankly: "At that time, I wanted to behave well and prove that their decision was wrong, but now I understand that business is business."

"Bless Him" Tall and Strong also gave Brook Lopez a blessing on Werther. (To be continued......)
