Harden's trade shocked everyone, but it was more because of the timing.
To send away one of the core members of the team at the last moment before the start of the season is incomprehensible to most people.
However, once a transaction occurs, the public will not take it seriously.
Is Harden great?
Great, but no matter how great he is, he is only the third player in the Thunder. What impact can such a player have on the league structure?
Is Thunder powerful?
It's awesome. It can be said to be one of the most promising young teams in the league, but so what? Can it beat the Warriors? Can it beat the Lakers who have just formed a luxurious lineup?
There seems to be little hope.
You can't beat the Spurs even in the regular season!
So the shock only lasted for a day or two, and most people quickly forgot about it.
Only Deng Fang knew the importance of this deal.
It's hard to see what's special about Harden right now, he's just an All-Star player at most.
But Deng Fang knows that Harden is not simple, he will become another big killer in the league!
First of all, Harden himself is strong, has great passing vision, strong assist ability, three-pointers and breakthroughs, and almost no shortcomings.
Secondly, Harden is very smart and very good at using the rules. His ability to draw fouls is unrivaled in the world and is unmatched!
Furthermore, Harden is very durable and has almost no injuries. Even if he has a minor injury, he can get over it quickly.
For such a potential stock, as long as he is given enough playing time and shot rights, it is inevitable that he will amaze the entire league.
If the system hadn't allowed it, Deng Fang would have definitely replaced Harden!
09 How terrifying would it be for the two heroes to combine? That is a scene that many people want to see!
…
The shock caused by the Harden trade soon passed, because there are more important things, the new season is about to begin!
Every team in the league has undergone considerable changes this offseason, and there is a lot to watch in the new season.
The first is the warrior.
The Warriors traded Lopez away during the offseason and also sent away Prince, the hero of three consecutive championships, which surprised many people.
Who is Lopez?
The second contributor to the Warriors' first championship, the core inside player besides Curry!
Even if Yao Ming comes to the Warriors, Lopez will play a very important role in the second team. His presence is also one of the important reasons why the Warriors' bench lineup beats the entire league!
Not to mention Prince, he has contributed to the Warriors' three consecutive championships. He is also the one who has stayed in the starting lineup the longest and has worked with Curry the longest!
The Splash Brothers move without the ball, who is the most reliable at dealing cards at the top of the arc?
Prince!
Whose words carry the most weight in the locker room?
Prince!
Lopez and Prince are very important to the Warriors, but the Warriors actually sent them away!
It's okay to give him away, or exchange him for someone more powerful, but Deng Fang only got back a few draft picks!
And of course, cash!
Is Deng Fang crazy about money?
They just want to make money and don’t care whether they can win the championship next season?!
Of course, the Warriors are not just out and out, they also introduced three players, but these three are all rookies!
Barnes, Draymond Green, Middleton.
Some people believe that Barnes has the possibility of becoming a star, but how can Draymond Green and Middleton have a future?
Both of these are second-round picks, players no one wants!
Just rely on three rookies to replace Lopez and Prince?
Is Deng Fang dreaming?
The Warriors are messing around, aren't they?
This is a typical example of self-disruption. Deng Fang is destroying the Great Wall!
Doing nothing is the best choice for the Warriors and the most worry-free plan, but Deng Fang was so overwhelmed by victory that he started messing around!
The same was true for the Warriors last year, but after all, they were all veterans with rich experience. There is no need to adapt to the NBA. They just need to get used to it.
This year we are leaving veterans and replacing them with rookies!
It seems that the Warriors’ title defense in the new season is in danger!
Although Curry and Clay have not left, and although Yao Ming, Kirilenko and others are still there, for the masses, as long as there is unfavorable news about the Warriors, they will be happy!
As for whether it is really disadvantageous, then don’t care!
…
The Warriors' prospects for defending the title are worrying, not only because of their own problems but also because of the increasing strength of their opponents.
First up is the Heat!
The Heat made a big move in recruiting during the offseason, the most important of which was the introduction of Ray Allen and Lewis.
What kind of player is James' favorite?
Shooter!
Ray Allen and Lewis happen to be both shooters, and Ray Allen is still a top shooter!
With these two people joining the team, the Heat's space problem on the court should be much better.
If nothing else, at least James will be more comfortable!
Whether or not you win the championship is the second priority, but making the emperor happy is the first priority!
Of course, in addition to this, having been swept by the Warriors for two consecutive years, the Heat generals must also be holding their breath.
We are a team with the Big Three!
You can lose, but how can you be swept?
It was also swept two years in a row!
This is too shameless!
James said harsh words during the offseason: I will definitely work hard on three-pointers, and I must win the damn championship this season!
Although the great emperor rarely keeps his words, no matter what, he was once the number one in the alliance, so he still needs to be given some face, and he can't just take it for granted...
…
In addition to the Heat, the Nets are also making great moves, with reinforcements both inside and outside. The Pacers, who performed well in the playoffs last season, are also a strong team that cannot be ignored.
Of course, the biggest threat to the Warriors still comes from the West.
In the West, the Thunder's third young coach has lost one Harden, but their strength still cannot be underestimated.
After two or three seasons of polishing, Durant and Westbrook have become even more powerful and have much more experience.
Coupled with the newly promoted shot-blocking champion Ibaka and the newly joined Kevin Martin, purely on paper, the Thunder's strength has not weakened.
Harden is strong, but there is only one basketball on the court, and the Thunder's three young players don't have enough possession of the ball on the court!
This is good now!
Although Harden is gone, an efficient substitute scorer has arrived. Coupled with Dewey and the rising Ibaka, the Thunder will definitely be a stumbling block for the Warriors to defend their title!
Other than that, it’s the Lakers!
The Lakers are a team that is making a lot of moves this summer!
Introducing Nash and trading Howard, with these two big deals, the Lakers immediately became the favorite to win the championship!
Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol, Artest, just based on the names of these five people, no one dares to say that the championship has nothing to do with the Lakers!
The other one is the Spurs!
Although the Spurs don't seem to move much and keep a low profile every year, they have been regulars in the playoffs in recent years, and no one dares to ignore him!
Even if the Thunder's performance in the playoffs explodes, they still have to call the Spurs grandpa during the regular season!
If the Warriors want to defend their title, they must first overcome the three powerful enemies of the Thunder, Lakers and Spurs!
In addition, players like the Nuggets, Clippers, and Grizzlies cannot be ignored!
All in all, in the new season, all the heroes have joined together, the Warriors have destroyed the Great Wall again, and there is a lot of suspense about who will win the championship!
