Chapter 808: [Active market, rising team]

The Kings are playing well, the Western team is in danger, and the free market is very active.
There are only a few teams that can compete with the King, and the strength of the East and West is seriously unbalanced.
When Wang Jun and James were present, the top few in the east were inferior to the west. After Wang Jun retired and left the Bulls, the strength of the East fell again and again, and it was already so miserable that even the All-Star 12 could hardly make up.
This pattern has become more serious this season. NBA President David Stern called a management meeting to propose an attempt to reform the playoffs so that the 16 best teams can advance to the playoffs, rather than the existing top eight in the East and West.
This will make the competition more fierce, but when the idea is put forward, it encounters a lot of resistance. The Eastern team is the biggest opponent, because the weak Eastern team will greatly reduce the postseason status.
The bosses want to make more money. Now because of labor issues, the NBA may be shut down next season. Of course, there is no way to change the system.
Stern threw this topic out of frustration. Under the trend of elite concentration to the west, it is time to take some measures to ensure the balanced development of the NBA. In fact, the NBA has always lacked competitiveness. Not the best team has reached the round of 16, and there is no promotion or demotion.
If the competition is not enough, it is impossible to attract fans to a greater extent, and the money is not easy to make.
Both the Thunder and the Blazers have completed big deals.
Trail Blazers brand swingman Brandon Roy was reduced to a role player because of a knee injury. Insider core Al Horford was reimbursed for the complete tearing of the pectoral muscles. The Trail Blazers can only slap this season.
In the past season, Roy has suffered from knee pain without cartilage.
The meniscus is the cartilage between the two bones of the knee. It serves as a buffer for bone collision and a protective film to prevent direct collision of leg bones. Due to injury, the cartilage of Roy's two knees has been worn away. In order to return to the field, he has performed two large-scale operations on his knees, but the recovery is not ideal.
The doctor warned him that if he continued his career, he would probably spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. It's already a miracle that Roy can play this season.
The Blazers sent bench swingman Rudy Fernandez and edge point guard Patrick Mills to the Thunder, replacing the Thunder starting center Nenad Costic.
This is a win-win deal. Ibaka has improved significantly this season and has excellent defense. It is better to play inside with LaMarcus Aldridge. Costic's position is awkward.
Sending the Blazers to play the starting center, if the data is beautiful, it may be a big contract next year. Thunder sent him away to train young insider Cole Aldridge.
In addition, the Thunder also won two role players to make up for the lack of offense in the bench. No one led the offense in the second quarter. Fernandes' shooting rate is not high, but has the ability to hold the ball.
The Thunder has become the biggest dark horse this season, ranking second in the West, second only to the Kings.
Their tactics are relatively retro, and both insiders can pull out shots to create space for players to single out.
Westbrook, Durant, Aldridge all played star data, but the lack of stability, the shot choice was almost.
The top four kings, thunder, calf, spurs in the west. The Lakers are only ranked fifth, which is eye-popping.
The Grizzlies are sixth. The lineup configuration is similar to the Thunder. A group of young people are the core, with strong impact and strength.
The Nuggets and Hornets ranked seventh and eighth. The Rocket Kaman was injured. The inside defense was bad, ranking ninth, and he was half dead.
The Western demons danced violently and the competition pressure was too great. The Nuggets did not think there was hope of winning the championship. At most, it was a round of playoff games. They simply began to rebuild at the beginning of the season.
The Nuggets, Knicks and Timberwolves also made a tripartite transaction.
The Knicks got Cameron Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Corey Brewer, Shelton Williams.
The Nuggets got Pike Youdu, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Costa Cuvers, Villanueva.
The Timberwolves got two insiders, Anthony Randolph and Eddie Curry.
The Knicks didn't hurt at all, sent a few newcomers and bad contracts, and switched to the Nuggets two stars, it is impossible to manipulate without anyone behind.
The Knicks formed a lineup of three giants, Billups, Anthony, and Stardamer, and were very competitive in the east. The Knicks must pay more luxury taxes, and boss James Dolan won't care.
The Nuggets got four outstanding newcomers. Villanueva could open up a space to make a three-pointer and play well in the system.
The team's Avraluo is very young and is a good 3D player. The young point guard Ty Lawson plays better and better, and he is also the reason to give away Billups.
As long as Kenyon Martin's contract expires in the summer and gets rid of this long-running super baggage, the Nuggets have plenty of salary space to sign and sign up, promising next season.
As for the Timberwolves, which is reconstruction? It is clear to help the Knicks clean up bad contracts. Curry has become fat and can't play. He has no value except for the 11-year expiring contract. Randolph is also very poor, and the offense has no effect.
If there is no shady, the Timberwolves’ David Kahn must be the league’s dumbest manager. He hasn’t done a good job since he took office in 2009.
The Nets rely on several drafts, the rookie's play, temporarily ranked above the Knicks, fifth in the east.
The media increased the publicity of the two teams, and specifically mentioned that the Nets are preparing to take the arena to Brooklyn. This is the team that the league is preparing to compete with the Kings.
The Nets haven't traded yet. The surprise is that the team's inside Chris Humphries averaged 10 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. From the bench to a double-double player, he squeezed Favors onto the bench.
The management's goal now is to fight for a super point guard. At present, Harden and Harris have very ordinary organizational skills. At present, the Nets are generally optimistic about the prospects of experts.
In December, the best player of the month was selected, and the best player in the West was selected between Wang Jun and James. Even Durant, the record can not be compared with them.
Relying on the super performance of 91 points in a single game, Wang Jun won the best monthly in the west and Derek Ross in the east.
Wang Jun's data is significantly better than James, averaging 32.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2 steals per game.
James is more comprehensive, with 24.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 9.4 assists. As a forward, he often plays power forwards and ranks fifth in the league in assists.
Even so, James still didn't do his best, he didn't have enough playing time, otherwise he would compete for the assists. He did too many things and couldn't focus on assists like Rondo.
Wang Jun’s data is mainly about scoring, and he is defined as a scorer. He didn't think much, and he went to the extreme. The comparison between him and James proves that Almighty is not necessarily better than a fresh man.
In the regular season MVP rankings, Wang Jun ranked first with no suspense, followed by the Bucks Derek Rose, James was only ranked third.
There is no dispute about which of the two kings is stronger.
