Number 7 was chopped off! The Lakers refused to add reinforcements, and Beverley announced that he was being traded
In the NBA's transfer window, one big deal after another has made many people's lives different. The Pistons have officially decided to fire Killian Hayes, and the 23-year-old talented rookie will complete the final year of his rookie contract at $7.4 million per year. Although Hayes averages 69 points, 28 rebounds, 49 assists, but his three-point shooting percentage and 297% of the threes. The Pistons' move was largely an attempt to give a little leeway to the previous contract.
The Los Angeles Lakers, on the other hand, were more cautious in the trade. They coveted the Mavericks' strong foreign reinforcements, and as a result, everyone was sent out, and they only sighed. According to Haines, the Lakers are not planning to make a move before the deadline. The Lakers are currently in 9th place in the East, and they will have more chances to make the playoffs.
The Lakers look to have lost their championship this season. But the most interesting thing is that they will get three first-round picks at the end of the season, so they can buy another star player to flesh out the team.
Beverley's transfer has once again raised questions. He confessed that he had been swapped out for the Bucks. After that, this news was confirmed by journalist WOJ. In an exchange for Beverley, the Bucks gave Payne and the 2027 second-round pick option to the Philadelphia 76ers. While the Bucks maintain Lillard's excellent offensive prowess, the lack of a star like Holiday has greatly affected their play on the defensive line. Beverley's arrival has been a big help to the team's defence.
Beverley's arrival has given the Bucks a big boost, as he can not only play well defensively, but also help his teammates on offense. The Bucks are already their biggest rival after signing Lillard, and the addition of Beverley will also strengthen the team's defense.
Also in the spotlight are Eastern Conference side Knicks. After signing Anunoby, the team's results rose to 4th place in the Eastern Conference. But the team didn't stop their pace, and according to well-known journalist Woj, the Pistons reached a six-man deal with the Knicks. The Pistons traded Burks, Bojan, and Knicks for Grimes, Fournier, Flynn, Assidiacono, and two second-round picks. Bojan has contributed an average of 20. per game this season2 points, 34 rebounds, 2He had five assists and shot 41 from the field on 3-point shooting5%.If the trade goes through, the Knicks are now in fourth place in the West, and they will have a good cycle. They have: Brunson, DiVincenzo, Bojan Bogdanovic, Anunoby, Randle, Mitchell Robinson, Hart, Burks, Achiuwa, Hartenstein. Such a talented team is fully capable of competing for the title.
The Knicks' upward momentum is significant. They proved what they are capable of after signing Anunno Bi, and now they are also strengthening their squad and talent with a move with Arsenal. Everyone in this team has their own characteristics, both offensively and defensively, so we can expect them to have a good performance in the next games.
