After this news came out, the alliance was shaken.

The first and second teams in the East made a deal!

And it's the starting point guard swapped!

This is definitely the hottest news outside of free agent signings!

ESPN was quick to rate the deal as well.

The Cavaliers are rated S-rated: they get a more stable and mature star point guard, knowing that Delon is FMVP, and he will have a huge chemistry with LeBron! Not only that, but they also got rid of JR Smith's 3-year garbage contract and got quality young players like Jefferson Jr.! The deal Altman made before he took over was enough to make him famous, and the only thing to worry about is that Delon's oversized contract will limit the Cavaliers' subsequent reinforcements.

The Nets were rated A-: they got a young All-Star point guard, but it cost a bit of a lot and they needed time to process JR Smith's contract.

The general perception is that the Cavaliers made a lot of money in this deal, but overall the Nets are not too much of a loss, and it is a win-win deal.

After the Nets and Cavaliers trade was reached, Paul also quickly announced his decision that he would join the Rockets.

The deal was also closed quickly.

The Rockets sent Beverley, Decker, Louis Williams, Ligins, Hilliard, Harrell and Kyle Verzhe, a 2018 first-round pick, and $661,000 in cash to trade Chris Paul from the Clippers.

The deal was the same as in the previous life.

This is also the reason why Tang Tian was reluctant to get Paul in this way after discussing with Jones before, it was too nerve-wracking.

However, the knock-on effect of this deal is that Anthony, who has been deeply rumored before, said that he is willing to be traded to the Rockets.

The Knicks have a sparse record in recent years, and if they want to rebuild, they don't need a down-the-form Anthony.

But because Anthony has a trade veto, it's difficult to trade, and it makes his trade value low.

Now that Anthony has relented, there is a good chance that a deal will be struck between the two sides.

However, the deal didn't happen in the first place, as the Rockets were only willing to send Ryan Anderson, which was clearly not what the Knicks wanted.

"May we consider Anthony?" In such a situation, Jones made a new proposal to Tang Tian.

Although Anthony's form has declined, he still averaged 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in the Knicks last season, and his shooting rate reached 43.5%, which is significantly stronger than those second-rate forwards in the free market.

Anthony in his previous life, was traded to the Thunder this season, and then his form declined all the way, and he couldn't even start the game, which became a complete garbage contract.

Most fans think he is old, but Tang Tian knows that it has something to do with the Thunder's style of play, and it also has something to do with his own injuries.

Like Deron during the Nets period, Anthony's knee injury burden increased after gaining weight, and then suffered a more serious knee injury, and after the explosiveness decreased, the original offensive kaleidoscope was left to dry out on the spot.

But if you really trade over, it is not a problem to exchange an iron knee with the system and exert seventy or eighty percent of the peak strength.

This is also the best supplement for the case of not pursuing Hayward.

Jones began to make contact with the Knicks' management.

Because Anthony's contract is too large, JR Smith, who has just been traded, has become an add-on that must be added, which has also become a stalemate in the negotiations between the two sides.

If the Nets want to get Anthony, they have to add enough young players to the trade, such as Kuzma or Mitchell, but this is obviously not something that Tang Tian can accept.

Several rounds of negotiations were inproductive, and the deal between the two sides was put on hold.

A week has passed, and Anthony's deal has not yet been negotiated, but Irving's deal has been completed, and both players have completed the necessary medical examinations.

Tang Tian met Owen and Smith at the training hall at Barclays Center.

Smith's mood is average, and he knows he's just adding to the deal, and he's in the midst of trade rumors right now.

But Owen was unusually excited.

Tang Tian is the godfather, and Irving has played a lot in the Cavaliers and Nets, so he naturally respects and yearns for Tang Tian.

And the current Nets, Booker and Jokic are still young, and Butler is also positioned more defensive than offensive, and it is not an exaggeration for him to say that he is the boss of the team.

This can be seen from the fact that he put the Nets on the list before, and he can be regarded as getting what he wants.

Tang Tian is also more optimistic about Owen.

There is nothing to say about the offensive ability, it is at the super giant level, and the problem of defense can also be improved, and there is still a system if it is really not good.

Irving has been training since he came to the team, and he chose to leave the Cavaliers to prove himself, and he knew it would take more effort to do so.

Tang Tian arranged for Rodgers to train his defense alone, and he also hopes that Irving can lead the Nets to the next level in the new season.

At this moment, OJ broke out another piece of extremely exciting news.

Paul George, the centerpiece of the Pacers, has announced that he will not be re-signing with the Pacers next season and that he will play for the Los Angeles Lakers after his contract ends.

When the news came out, the alliance shook again.

First Irving, and then George, they are also stars of the younger generation, and they are all still under contract!

And even more exaggerated than Owen is that George designated the next home!

There are two meanings to this.

The first tier, who can only stay with the Pacers for one season at most, is the best option for management to wait for the end of his contract to get nothing and trade him before that.

That's why George chose to speak out at this time, and he made this choice after referring to the impact of the Durant and Irving incidents.

The second tier, only going to the Lakers, means that if the Pacers trade him to another team, he will still go to the Lakers after his contract ends.

That's a bit of an innovation.

The designated Lakers know that they can get George from the White Wolves next summer, so they naturally won't put too much leverage into trade negotiations with the Pacers, and other teams won't put too much leverage into knowing that George will have to be Lakers next year.

This is tantamount to infinitely reducing George's trade value, unless other teams are willing to gamble, or the Lakers are willing to spend money, otherwise George may not be worth as much as an average All-Star.

However, when Tang Tian heard the news, he jumped up directly.

That's George, peak George, if the Nets can get it, what else do they need for Anthony in the last years, this is to directly find a player who can play against Durant!

In the previous life, the Thunder played five or five with the Warriors in the regular season, and George's role was obvious.

And one thing different from his previous life is that George didn't suffer the same devastating knee injury as in his previous life!
