After sending Thomas, the Kings are hoping to get a point guard, and given the relatively young age of the team's players, this time, they want to get a veteran.

The King's chip is Marcus Thorton on the front line.

After making changes to the lineup this summer, the Kings' forward line was no longer crowded, and they let go of several players on the forward line before Evans returned to the point guard position.

In addition to Iguodala and Li Tian, there are four other substitutes on the front line: Marcus Thorton, last year's rookie Chris Middleton, this year's No. 7 show Ben McClymer, and veteran Quentin Richardson.

Thornton was the team's starter last season and has been squeezed to the bench this season, and while he does play an important role on the team's bench, the growth of Chris Middleton and Ben McClymer has led Kings management to believe that Thornton is not indispensable.

Ben McClymer has a very good offensive ability with the ball and a passable shot, while Middleton's off-ball running, outside shooting and defense are good enough to top up to Thorton's play in the game.

And the Kings' management also believes that Thorton's departure can give the two young players more playing opportunities, which will also help them grow a lot.

And Thornton is also a good trade chip, as an offensive player on the front line, although the statistics have declined this season, there are also many teams interested in it, and among them, the first team to be very interested in the media is the Nets.

The Nets have assembled a team that looks luxurious this season, but after the first month, they have only a 5-12 record, a win rate of less than 30 percent, which is clearly not satisfactory to fans and owners.

Judging from the problems exposed after the start of the season, the lack of impact is the biggest shortcoming of the Nets, Deron Williams is no longer the courage of the past, Johnson, Pierce, Garnett, Lopez and others are not players who are good at impact, even on the bench, they do not have too good raiders.

As a result, Thorton, who can shoot suddenly, was favored by the Nets. The Nets' proposed trade offer has also attracted some interest from the Kings, who have offered to trade Jason Terriga Reggie Evans in exchange.

Jason Terry is a point guard, a player in this position is exactly what the Kings need, and although Terry is not known for organizing offense, he has a lot of experience in the playoffs and even the Finals, which is exactly what the current Kings team lacks.

However, another player, Reggie Evans, the Kings did not want to accept it, and now the Kings have a lot of interior players on their team, in addition to Cousins and Thompson, there are Robinson, Hayes, Gobert and Murphy who was just traded on the bench, there are already six interior players, and in terms of style, Reggie Evans is also similar to Hayes and others.

However, Thornton's salary this season reached 8.05 million, while Terry's salary was only 5.63 million, and a simple one-on-one trade salary was not equal, so the Kings offered to get Terry and catch another player at the same time...... Alan Anderson.

While Thornton is said to have left Middleton, McClymer and Richardson on the bench at the back, there are problems in the rotation when players get a little injured, and Alan Anderson happens to be a swingman at the back.

The Nets initially didn't agree with the King's proposal, but after some haggling, the Nets eventually accepted it.

So on the fourth day of Thomas's trade, the Kings sent away Marcus Thornton, and then got Jason Terry and Alan Anderson from the Nets.

After these two trades, the Kings have a full roster of 15 players.

Interior players include Marcus Cousins, Rudy Gobert, Eric Murphy, Chuck Hayes, Jason Thompson, Thomas Robinson, and Andre Iguodala, Li Tian, Chris Middleton, Ben McClymer, Alan Anderson, Quentin Richardson on the front line. At the point guard position, there are Tyrek Evans, Jason Terry, and Jimmer Fredette.

After a bit of free agency and these two trades, the Kings' roster has become more reasonable, and it is foreseeable that the Kings will obviously not make any changes to the roster in the short term, after all, no team likes to be in turmoil all the time.

However, compared with the King's series of operations in the summer, the outside world has mixed reviews of the King's two transactions.

"The Kings' management sent away Isiah Thomas and Marcus Thorton, two of the most important scorers off the bench at the same time, which is hard to understand, and among the players they have traded, except for Jason Terry, the rest of the players are difficult to help the team, and even Jason Terry can't forget that he is already a 36-year-old veteran.

It looks like the Kings' uniform team is fully pinning their hopes on Chris Middleton and Ben McClymer, but it has to be said that this is too risky, and these two players can get up from the bench all season to provide the Kings with plenty of offensive firepower? This seems too optimistic!

The Kings' series of actions has the potential to disrupt their plans for the playoffs. ”

Of course, the outside world is not entirely criticized, and there are still many fans and reporters who approve of the Kings' two trades.

"Ben McClymer and Chris Middleton are two youngsters who need room to grow, they need more playing time to work out and improve, and their ceiling looks no less than Isiah Thomas and Marcus Thornton, and more importantly, these two youngsters are better defensive players."

"The arrival of Jason Terry will make up for the team's lack of experience, and as for getting Nikola Mirotic in another trade, I've watched this player play, and I think if he can join next season, it could be a new surprise for the Kings."

These voices were only aimed at the king's management, but a subsequent report suddenly pointed the finger at Li Tian.

"Exposing the inside story of the King's transaction, the two players left due to discord with Li Tian"

In this report from a well-known American website, it was pointed out that Isaiah Thomas had clashed with Li Tian in the locker room on several occasions, and Marcus Thornton was also extremely at odds with Li Tian, and the Kings chose to send Thomas and Thorton away from the team because of Li Tian's current affection for Adelman and his "special status".

There are a few sentences in this report that are true, but most of the content, such as the truth about Thomas's departure, is just speculation, but this speculation has convinced many people.

The relationship between Li Tian and Ajiali was once hot, and the "special identity" pointed out in this report also made many people believe, plus Thomas and Thorton had indeed been sent away, which made many people preconceived that they were the weak side, and human beings are always used to sympathizing with the weak side, so immediately after this report, many fans believed that the departure of Thomas and Thorton was squeezed out by Li Tian.

Originally, the two voices of support and opposition from the outside world were almost equal to the two transactions of the king, but under the influence of this report, the opposing voices suddenly gained the upper hand, and Li Tian was once again pushed to the forefront.

If it weren't for Li Tian's good performance in several consecutive games, I am afraid that a large number of people would have jumped out to lash out, but even so, there are still many doubts.

Fortunately, there are many fans who are still more rational, and there are also many true fans, these people realize the importance of Li Tian to the current king, so there are still many voices supporting Li Tian, and there is no completely one-sided situation as some time ago.

Li Tian was quite unhappy that the flames of war suddenly burned on his body, but with his previous experience, Li Tian knew very well that there was only one thing he needed to do to make these voices disappear, and that was to play a good game!

The Kings lost to the Thunder 95-97, and Li Tian scored 21 points; 116:112 defeated the Warriors, Li Tian scored 24 points; 112:102 victory over Jazz, Li Tian scored 19 points, 106:100 victory over the Lakers, Li Tian scored 26 points, 93:101 loss to the Clippers, Li Tian scored 20 points.

In many consecutive games, whether the team loses or wins, Li Tian has an excellent and stable performance, which makes the doubts of the outside world slowly disappear, and Li Tian's popularity has risen sharply both in China and in Sacramento.
