One for 5! The first business is closed! Congratulations to Embiid, one more championship assistant!
On February 8, Beijing time, the NBA completed its first signing before the deadline for the first time! According to ESPN, the Philadelphia 76ers traded Indiana's Hield for Morris, Korkmaz and three second-round rookies.
A 5-on-1 deal has been completed between the 76ers and the Pacers, which means Hield can switch to the team and start a new chapter in his career! Now, he officially joins the 76ers from the Pacers. Then, he'll join Embiid and Maxey in a big offense in the league!
Hield has played 52 games for the Pacers so far, averaging 25 per game7 minutes, scored 12 points, 32 rebounds, 27 assists, 44 of them3% hit, 384% of 3 points, 384% of free throws, 848% of free throws.
It was well known that the Pacers were interested in Hield three days ago, and in the summer of 2022, there were rumors that Hield could be sold. And, last summer, the rumors surrounding Hield joining the Lakers have become a hot topic! There are also rumors that the Lakers may buy Hield and Melstner together. But the reality is that the Lakers are able to impress the Pacers with just too little. So, Hilde's possible agreement has collapsed!
And now, Hilde has been replaced by the Pacers, which is nothing short of an accident! After all, this season, in addition to the Pacers' good results, more importantly, they are working hard for the playoffs. But in the end, they still gave the three-pointer to the Philadelphia 76ers, which no one expected. After all, the Pacers should be looking for a solid team, but their end result is completely different!
Hield, the top scorer with his three-point shooting ability, has joined Philadelphia, and it's fair to say that his departure is a good thing for the 76ers! Center Joel Embiid is the team's most valuable player, and the back is dominated by star Maxey, coupled with Hield's strong addition, the future of the Philadelphia 76ers is limitlessMeasure! Hield and Embiid can work well together on the inside and outside, which will help them complete their championship journey faster!
Perhaps with Embiid's absence, Hield won't have a good performance with the 76ers this season. But the 76ers are still very promising next season! The reason is clear: Embiid will return from injury and play the role of a king in the game. Imagine that a team that combines inside and outside is the team with the best chance of winning the championship!
