The suspension of Jefferson did not affect the Spurs. The team defeated the Magic at home on the night of the 14th and won a four-game winning streak.

In fact, Jefferson has been unable to integrate into the team since he was traded to the Spurs. On the contrary, Tang Tian made them play more freely after entering the starting lineup.

Because of the suspension season, like the previous All-Star Game, the time nodes of the season are different from the normal season.

The trading deadline refers to the last day of the season trading. After this day, each team is not allowed to trade until the day before the June draft.

It is also after the trading deadline that the league will calculate their total salary this season based on the latest lineup of each team this day.

Teams that exceed the luxury tax trigger line will also be levied on this day.

In other words, it is only before this that the final lineup of a team is basically determined.

(Note: After the transaction deadline, the team can still perform operations such as layoffs and signing free agents to avoid accidents such as injuries.)

The trading deadline is the 16th Thursday after the start of each season. In the past, it was about a week after the All-Star Game. This year's time node is March 16.

The teams were already undercurrents a few days before the deadline and rumors continued.

The Clippers' small forwards are weak, and they are trying to find a deal to replace small forwards, including Wizards' Nick Young, Warriors' Brandon Rush, etc.

Nuggets' interest in Kings star DeMarcus Cousins, general manager Ujri said he has prepared chips that the opponent cannot refuse.

The Rockets are interested in trading an inside veteran to prepare for the playoffs. General Manager Morey stated that the team will not repeat the same mistakes (finally ranked ninth in the Western Conference last season), and the goal this year is the playoffs.

The Lakers are interested in the Timberwolves' forward line Beasley. Beasley averaged nearly 20 points per game last season, but it was not reused this season. The second place played very hard at Minneposley, and Kupchek intends to take him under his command.

Dwight Howard has a strong tendency to execute contract options and will remain in Orlando for the Magic for a year.

According to Woj, the Lakers have put Paul Gasol on the shelves, the Spurs have put Richard Jefferson on the shelves, and the Wizards have put Nene on the shelves.

...

This year's trading deadline is obviously more rumored than the normal season. Due to the fewer games in the suspension season, many teams are more ready to move than before.

“The deal is not the style of this team.”

After the daily training on the day, all the teammates left one after another. Green and Tang Tian finally took a shower and chatted while changing their clothes.

Tang Tian nodded. The Spurs are the team with the least traded team in the league.

In the past two years, they have made 2 deals in total. One is to send veteran Ratliff to the Bobcats for a second round, and the other is to trade George Hill for a 15-pick draft pick in last year's draft.

Compared with transactions, signing and rookie training are their main methods.

Like Parker and Ginobili are their own rookies, and Green was also signed by the Spurs free agent after being cut by the Cavaliers.

This is a team culture, and it is also because of Duncan, the super cornerstone, that the Spurs have always been in the ranks of strong teams, and can maintain sufficient competitiveness with minor repairs and minor repairs.

"Don, do you think Richard will be traded?"

After chatting for a while, Green then changed the topic.

After Jefferson was suspended indefinitely, he never appeared in the locker room again, and his wardrobe had been cleared.

"meeting."

Tang Tian gave a positive answer. His previous life was not just a coach or godfather's words, which were somewhat similar to Popovich. They both served as the general manager of the team and still have some experience in this regard.

"So sure?"

Green had already changed his clothes at this time and asked curiously while sitting on the stool.

"Richard is now a negative asset to the team. The team's prospects are so good this season, and the management will definitely take action on the trading deadline."

"But his transaction value is very low."

There was no one else here, and Green didn't hide it.

"No matter how low it is, there are people. Richard is only 32 years old. There are players who are less valuable than him. No one is useless. If you exchange them, it might work.

Just like sockets and plugs, it may not match the size after using them for a long time, but you can continue to use them after changing them."

Green couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Tang Tian's metaphor is too vivid. The truth is indeed this. With Popovich's personality, he would do that.

The Spurs had no games this day, and the players went back to rest after training.

Tang Tian took Procopio to the stadium for extra training, and Leonard was there too.

Leonard accepted Tang Tian’s suggestion and began to train himself with Kobe as a template. He worked very hard and had already become a bit of a prototype in the past half month.

Tang Tian was also a good person to do it to the end, and asked Procopio to give him some detailed guidance.

After the training, both of them sat on the sidelines to rest.

Leonard sat there wiping his sweat, while Tang Tianze took out his phone and started to browse the news.

With less than 2 hours left in the transaction deadline, many transactions have been reached.

The most disturbing thing at this time was the Trail Blazers. With Roy's season reimbursement, the Trail Blazers' record declined significantly this season. After enduring half a season, the management decided to rebuild and began to clear the position and sell it.

They first reached a deal with the Rockets, sent off the team's starting center Marcus Camby, got the "parallel" Hashem Tabitt and Jonny Flynn, as well as the second-round draft pick from the Timberwolves.

Immediately afterwards, they sent the starting small forward, Elvis Gerard Wallace to the Nets, getting Memit Oku, Sean Williams and a first-round protected draft pick.

While completing these two major deals in succession, the management also announced the layoff of "No. 1 pick" Oden, and coach McMillan was officially dismissed.

This series of operations also announced the official end of the 1.0 era of the Trail Blazers Youth Army, and "Huang Mamba" has officially become a past trend.

Of course, there are far more transactions than Trail Blazers.

The Lakers kept Gasol and sent Fisher to the Rockets, and then traded four players with the Cavaliers to get Sessions;

The Bucks sent Bogut and "Captain" Jackson to come from the Warriors trade to Monta Ellis;

The Clippers, Nuggets and Wizards reached a deal, Nene returned to Denver, and the Clippers got their favorite small forward "single king" Nick Young.

At this moment, Tang Tian got a message, which was from the Spurs.
Chapter completed!
