Before the trade deadline, other teams also used their last chance to make reinforcements.

The Lakers cut interior Medvedenko and signed Jim, a veteran who was waived by the Suns? Jackson and recalled second-round rookie Ronnie from the Development League? Turyaf.

Jackson has only 3.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in the Suns this season, shooting 29.5% from the field and 22.2% from three-point range, which will certainly not help the Lakers.

This means that the Lakers have given up on this season, and Kobe Bryant can focus all his energy on brushing up on scoring titles.

The Nets use veteran center Mark? Jackson swaps Hornets forward Nakba. The summer "important reinforcement" player left after only half a season, and the current Nets team has no future to speak of.

The Nuggets traded with the SuperSonics in exchange for the "rebounding maniac" Reggie? Evans.

Traded with the Trail Blazers in exchange for the self-proclaimed "Kobe Terminator" 196CM forward Ruben? Patterson.

In exchange for Evans, it was a helpless move for the Nuggets, and Nene was seriously injured for the season, and Martin was also injured and missed more than 20 games, and the interior line was tight.

The Nuggets suffered a big loss in the trade with the Nets, and Martin, who is on a contract with a maximum salary, only has 13+6 data this season and continues to decline.

Last season Martin was a disappointment, he didn't play very well, he was very good at playing.

Because of the overlap with Nene's position, the two secretly competed in training, Nene hit Martin with his elbow several times, and then the two sides beat each other, Nene was injured in the eye socket by Martin, and went to the hospital for two stitches.

This year, the two of them don't have to compete......

There are also a few big deals happening in the medium term.

The Timberwolves completed a seven-man trade with the Celtics, and the Timberwolves traded Szczebiak, Olowokandi, Dwyane? Jones and a protected future first-round pick in exchange for Ricci for the Celtics? Davis, Mark? Blunt, Marcus? Banks, Justin? Reid and a future second-round pick.

In addition, the Timberwolves traded Scottishvili for a 2006 second-round pick from the Suns.

The conflict between "Wolf King" Garnett and Szczebiak is not a secret, and now the team is outside the playoffs, and the two are even more incompatible.

Garnett felt that his teammates were too bad, while Szebiak followed Wang Jun's example. Courage soared, daring to glare at Garnett in the locker room, and if Garnett did it again, he would definitely fight back.

If Garnett plays his teammates again, his reputation will definitely be worse than stinky tofu and will never be reversed, so he can only stare. Management can't stand it. Szebiak could only be sent away.

The Timberwolves sent away the second leader and only exchanged for a cancer swingman, and they will definitely become a bad team.

The Magic sent blue-collar center Kevin? Cato and a first-round pick in exchange for the Pistons' "parallel eye" Milicic and "Wonder Boy" Arroyo.

It is quite ironic that Milicic, who once beat Wade, Bosh, Anthony and other big names in the draft, changed to a first-round pick.

Larry? Brown is gone, Milicic is gone, and he hasn't worked hard to improve himself in the past two years. Coming to this point is also self-inflicted.

Then. The Magic and the Knicks traded to put their point guard Steve? Francis was sent to New York in exchange for substitute swingman Ariza and former Magic player "Penny" Anferne? Hardaway.

Francis has been mired in trade rumors in recent weeks. After knowing the outcome of the deal, he confessed his dissatisfaction with the deal.

"I don't want to leave, I want to stay in Orlando and play for a few years. Am I angry? Hey, that's the NBA, you just have to respect business. I'm doing well here. Nothing to complain about. It's just that it's hard for me and my family to come to terms with this change, and I'm on the brink of hell right now. ”

Francis also admitted. The source of the transfer rumours has been the disappointing performances this season.

Since switching clubs with Maddie from the Rockets to the Magic in 2004, Francis has played one year and a half in Orlando. Last season, he averaged a team-high 21.3 points per game and a career-high seven assists.

His form has dropped significantly this season, averaging just 16.2 points per game and 5.7 assists per game. In addition, there are 3.4 turnovers per game, and the assist-to-turnover ratio is staggering.

Francis and the Magic also have a tacit reason: He and head coach Brian? Hill's contradictions.

Since Hill reused sophomore Jamal at the end of last year? Nelson, Francis's performance has plummeted, and half a month ago she was banned by the club for two games for refusing to play.

Swapping Francis not only allowed the Magic to send away the locker room thorn, but also Hardaway, whose contract is about to expire. It can free up a lot of salary space after this season. Francis' salary reaches $13.7 million, and with three years left on his contract, it's definitely a big hole.

Since "Assassin" Isaiah? Thomas became the team's general manager, and the Knicks never stopped trading. Not to mention sending Hardaway, who was about to expire, he sent the team's best defensive swingman to the Magic.

According to Chinese legend, there was a foolish man who wanted to lead his family to move the mountain for the convenience of going out, and he never thought about moving.

Thomas, the foolish man of the United States, is even more bullish, he can dig a huge pit so big that he can bury the mountain, and then bury himself with the soil from the hole.

Francis will join Marbury in one of the most expensive backcourt combinations in the league, and the Knicks are already the league's highest-paid team. How to defend two tall and short defenders on the court together is definitely an unsolvable problem.

Countless basketball pundits have expressed concern about the Knicks' future, and Thomas was happy when he held a press conference.

He said confidently: "This deal has strengthened both of our teams. It could be now, it could be the future. We got Steve without giving up any important players and that's key to our future success. ”

Head coach Larry? Brown also said happily: "It's a very exciting thing for the Knicks to get a player of the caliber and talent of Francis. Francis' experience will help the team in many ways and he will help our young players to develop further. ”

It's clear that the Knicks are going to be out of luck. Francis has never helped a young man grow, so should he teach people how to rush to the basket with their heads down, so sudden that they can't jump up and make a pass and then make a mistake?

After seeing the news, the people in the Bulls uniform team were overjoyed.

At the morning meeting, everyone was not optimistic that the Knicks could rely on Francis to play well.

Even if Marbury is injured, the Knicks still have Crawford who needs the ball, and even "Little Potato" Nate? Robinson needs the ball, otherwise he won't be able to play his strength.

Paxson laughed at college scouting supervisor Ivanka? Dukan said: "Ivanka, you pay attention to the March Madness game, we will definitely get a good signing, and if we don't do it, we will be the champion." ”

Dukan smiled: "A lot of information has been collected, and the best two inside lines are Tyrus?" Thomas and LaMarcus? Aldridge. With the fact that there is a big man in Europe, we will definitely be able to pick a potential rookie. ”

"Okay, feel free to report back." Paxson took a deep breath and smiled, "I think the time has come for the Bulls to rise." ”
