After the Mavericks' contract extension was completed quickly, the trade with other teams was not smooth.

No matter what player the Mavericks want to trade, they will get almost crazy offers from other teams, not even a normal role player.

No team is willing to assist the Mavericks, or even trade with the Mavericks.

But that doesn't mean the Mavericks can't be strengthened.

The Grizzlies chose not to renew Zach Randolph's contract after it expired, and Zach Randolph finally contacted the Mavericks and got a 1+1 veteran base salary.

Randolph is similar to Al Jefferson in that he is now old and can barely be a substitute.

The Mavericks haven't grown, and if there are no accidents this season, Randolph will get very few playing opportunities, and more often than not, Zach will play the role of a veteran on the team, helping other interior players to train their footwork and defense.

The Mavericks didn't make reinforcements, but that doesn't mean other teams won't.

The Cavaliers made big trades in the offseason, signing Wade and Derrick Rose in quick succession.

Last season, Wade signed with the Bulls with an annual salary of 20 million, along with Rajon Rondo, and then the Bulls did not choose to renew the contract after one year.

Eventually, Wade signed with the Cavaliers.

The same option is Derek Rose. Windy City Rose Rose was once touted as Qin Yang's lifelong enemy, but no one mentioned this claim anymore.

Last season, Rose seemed to play well with the Knicks, but in the offseason, the Knicks couldn't bear it anymore and would never choose to renew Rose's contract again.

Two pit goods.

Ultimately...... The Cavaliers took it all.

What's even more terrifying is that the Cavaliers also signed Chris Bosh, who has retired.

James then opted to run the next year's contract.

James: "The addition of Dwayne and Derek will make the team more competitive and our goals will remain the same this season. ”

James didn't mention Bosh.

But the media hyped it up.

The Big Three of the Heat are reunited after three years, this time in Cleveland, whether the three can lead the team to win the championship, talk about the previous deeds and statistics of the three, and remember the past glory, will definitely attract the attention of many fans, and there is nothing wrong with doing so.

But...... The original Big Three, now James is still a superstar, and the other two have only signed a veteran base salary, and they are outright role players.

The world has changed more than this.

Now the hype of the original Big Three is useless except for feelings.

The Cavaliers have a strong paper and start at least with the Big Five, but how far the record can be reached is another story.

Wade, Rose, James' outside combination...... The picture is too beautiful to look at.

The three of them are not good at three-point shooting and mid-range shooting, as long as the joint defense locks the inside, the Cavaliers will be dumbfounded, how to play this game?

The new season hasn't started yet, but there's no doubt that the Cavaliers are destined to hit the streets.

With the exception of the Cavaliers, there are still quite a few changes to other teams.

The Clippers opted to re-sign Griffin, which led to Paul asking for a trade.

Griffin has barely had any positive impact on the Clippers over the past few years, aside from his excellent dunks.

That's right, that's exactly what it is.

Griffin did a good job on the offensive end. The dunk flew up, and the mid-range shot became more and more accurate.

But when the mid-range shot was inaccurate, Griffin's interior offense was very wasteful, and then when the mid-range shot was accurate, he never went to the inside again, and it was terrible to be soft.

It's good to be able to shoot inside, but there's no way to be so soft.

Griffin's defense is particularly poor, and he is basically powerless in the face of guard breakthroughs, which makes the Clippers unable to compete with strong teams.

The most obvious result was that the Clippers never made it to the Western Conference Finals.

It is a tragedy that Chris Paul, the point guard who can be ranked in the history of the NBA, could not make it to the Western Conference Finals.

After Griffin's contract extension, Paul quickly opted for a trade.

In the end, the Rockets won.

The Rockets sent Patrick Beverley, Sam Decker, Louis Williams, Montrez Harrell, Kyle Wilcher, DeAndre Kings, Daren Hilliard, a future first-round pick, and some cash to get Chris Paul from the Clippers.

Seven-for-one trades are rare in NBA history, and generally have no beneficiaries.

Because the Rockets lost seven players or draft picks, getting a superstar has a big impact on the team's overall strength, while the Clippers will be rotten after the rebuild, and can only hope for the future.

But...... This time was an exception.

The price offered by the Rockets is actually not large, and there are three main ones, future first-round picks, Beverley and Louis Williams.

Beverley and Louis Williams have good stats, but they are not so good in the Rockets, and when Paul comes, Paul is almost alone on the point guard, and if he partners with Harden, the Rockets' guard line is not a big problem.

The departure of Louis Williams is also a good thing, even if Louis is very strong, but Gordon of the Rockets is also a player of the same type, and his strength is not weak.

Such a transaction has greatly enhanced the strength.

It can be said that after this trade, the odds of the Rockets to win the championship immediately increased a lot.

The backcourt combination of James Harden and Chris Paul is definitely one of the strongest in the league, both are players who can attack, pass the ball, and attract defense.

Paul's arrival caused an instant sensation in the league.

TNT experts said on the TV show:

"The NBA has entered the era of giants, there are no more than two teams, completely unqualified to touch the final championship, some teams in the league will be stronger and stronger in the future, and some teams will be weaker and weaker."

It's true, many teams will cut back on spending and work hard for next year's draft picks to trade away their team's best players on the premise that they won't be able to win the championship.

In this way, the strength of some strong teams will be stronger.

It's a crazy arms race.

Then the Celtics shot again, the Celtics played well last season, although they lost to the Cavaliers, but the team played very well, and this season, the Celtics once again strengthened, signing Gordon Hayward of the Jazz with a 100 million yuan contract.

Last season, Hayward averaged 20+5+3+1 per game.

If you look at the data, this contract is not a loss.

The Celtics quickly rebuilt successfully after trading the Big Three, and the Celtics after this season definitely have the strength to challenge any team in the league.

Also trading was Jimmy Butler.

Last season, Jimmy Butler played very well next to Rondo and Wade, both offensively and defensively, averaging 20+ points per game.

But Jimmy Butler didn't have an All-Star at all, he played hard, worked hard, and lacked talent on the offensive end, and the Bulls just gave up.

The Timberwolves have assembled Jimmy Butler and Wiggins, and Towns' potential roster looks like it's going to rise again.
