As the new season approaches, all teams have started the mode of trading and signing.

The Lakers' acquisition of Paul triggered a catfish effect, just as the Lakers acquired Gasol in 2008 and triggered the Western arms race.

However, compared to the stable and harmonious environment on the team in 2008, this year's Lakers are a little turbulent due to trade rumors, injuries and many other problems.

Two veterans, Pau Gasol and Derek Fisher, have left the team.

Lamar Odom has been repeatedly put on the trade shelf, and his mentality has suffered.

Now that Paul has arrived, it will be a big question whether Odom can play with the Lakers with peace of mind.

The Lakers certainly want Odom to stay, after all, he won the Sixth Man of the Year in 2011, just when he was in great form.

Age 32 years old, acceptable.

However, Odom publicly stated that he no longer wanted to play with the Lakers, and he took the initiative to request a trade.

On December 29, two days after Paul came to the Lakers, the Lakers and the Heat made a deal.

Sent Odom back to Miami for a 2014 first-round pick and some cash.

This deal, which is equivalent to a free giveaway, has strengthened the Heat again.

Odom, on the other hand, has returned to the South Coast since 2005 and continues to partner Wade.

The Heat failed to assemble a troika last season and lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East.

Battier's contract expired in the summer, and the Cavaliers snatched Battier for 3 years and 10 million on Christmas Day December 25.

With Battier, the Heat can't beat the Cavaliers.

Now that Battier was intercepted by the Cavaliers, the Heat are obviously even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Odom's return has made the Heat stronger again.

The Heat have soared to third place in the odds to win the championship in the new season.

Second only to the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After the Lakers got Paul and sent Odom away, they began to hug people in the free market.

When the salary space is full, they are still the old way, using championship rings as bait to seduce veterans.

On December 29, the Lakers signed the Bucks' former All-Star forward, left-handed three-point sniper Michael Reed.

On December 30, the Lakers signed Grant Hill, who was once a super small and returned to youth after the Suns healed his injury.

On the same day, the Lakers signed 2000 No. 1 pick and former star power forward Kenyon Martin.

Guard, small forward, big front, the Lakers suddenly added three former star players.

The strength on paper skyrocketed, and the odds of winning the championship rose rapidly, occupying the first position.

For a while, the Lakers were full of beauty, and other teams could only stare dryly.

For example, last season's defending champion Dallas Mavericks, Cuban won the coveted championship, but chose to dismantle the team.

On December 31, the last day of 2011, the Mavericks signed and then traded to New York to send championship hero Tyson Chandler, and the Mavericks only symbolically acquired a second-round pick from the Wizards and Knicks guard Andy Laughings.

Because Cuban realizes that the Mavericks have an aging roster, no matter how much they strengthen this summer, they can't compete with the Lakers.

Tyson Chandler is important, but as a free agent, he will definitely get a big contract.

The four-year salary of 56 million and the luxury tax Cuban can afford to pay, but with the Mavericks' salary space locked up, they will have no room to maneuver in the summer of 2012.

After all, there are no big fish on the free market this year, and Cuban's idea is to endure for one season, and in the summer of '12 there will be Deron Williams and Dwight Howard, which is the real championship cornerstone.

This shrinking season, leave the stage to the Lakers.

And the Spurs, another traditional Texas powerhouse, lost their favorite Leonard in the draft.

Their plans were completely disrupted, and they had to keep the original lineup and continue tinkering.

George Hill, who was supposed to be traded to the Pacers in exchange for the No. 15 pick, stayed with the team.

But like the Lakers, once a player is tempted to trade him, it has a bad impact on the mentality and the locker room.

The Spurs' front court and backcourt are fully aging and are in dire need of fresh blood.

But he was repeatedly cut off, which made Popovich uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also the winners.

At the behest of Min Congda, James urged management to snatch Sean Battier.

James also called Battier, and the emperor went down to recruit him personally.

In fact, at the end of the Eastern Conference finals, James communicated with Battier.

This time, James invited sincerely, and the Cavaliers offered a bigger contract than the Heat, and Battier had no reason to refuse again.

As a result, the Cavaliers' strength swelled further, and the James-Irving champion combination.

Defender Hinrich, forward Battier, and center Camby are very strong lineups that run in well.

Therefore, in the ranking of championship odds, it is second only to the Lakers.

And experts generally agree that the Cavaliers are stronger this season.

The two teams are likely to meet in the finals for a long-awaited 23vs24 match.

Of course, this expectation has been around since 2009.

As a result, in three years, Kobe Bryant scored twice and James scored once, and they happened to be staggered.

I have to say that it is a great pity.

Now the Lakers have formed a super team again.

The strength of the knights has increased instead of decreasing, and the flame of hope has been rekindled.

In addition to these championship contenders, other teams are also constantly tinkering and strengthening.

One of the signings left Min very frustrated, and the Hornets' star power forward, David West, jumped out of his contract to test the free market.

The Hornets did not renew the 31-year-old forward, but instead let the Pacers win it with a two-year, 20 million contract.

Of course, the Hornets have Pau Gasol and the two are conflicting positionally.

But Gasol can be pushed to the center of the position.

Gasol with West is definitely a very strong inside combination.

So the Hornets let go of Gasol and signed Rockets veteran Carl Landry instead, Radmanovic who was accurate from the outside three-pointers, plus Ariza, Jack, Belinelli and others on the team, formed a pretty good lineup.

However, with Baron Davis and Pau Gasol still in their tanks, it is really unknown how well the Hornets will play in the new season.

Compared to the other teams, the signing continues.

The Los Angeles Clippers have been much quieter after completing a big deal.

The whole team is in full swing to prepare for the 2011-2012 new season.

Except, of course, for their general manager, Min Congda.

Min Congda has been paying close attention to the player market trends during this time.

He wanted to see if there were any other areas where he could assist.

The Lakers and Cavaliers have become giants with his help.

This season's playbook is that the Lakers and Cavaliers will meet in the Finals.

The Lakers continued to press the Clippers.

The Thunder and Grizzlies will grow.

There will be no room for the Clippers to survive in the West!

There are only spurs, and Min Congda feels that this old bone seems to be a little useless.

Just as he was thinking about how to help the Spurs, Ida came running to tell Min Congda the bad news.

"Mr. Smart, Coach Dunleavy was unwell during training and was admitted to the hospital."

"What? Lao Deng was hospitalized? Let's go, take me to see. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
