One 4-1 easy advancement, one 3-2 wins the match point! The best deal in the season is born, and the NBA landscape is about to change drastically

There are many heavy trades in the NBA this season, most of which have changed the league structure, such as the most exaggerated historical level trade Doncic's Dark Brows swap. After winning Doncic, the Lakers won a row of winning streaks and rushed to the top three in the Western Conference. Although they did not make a breakthrough in the playoffs, they did increase the team's lower limit. More importantly, the Lakers' future is guaranteed. They have obtained an epic new generation star, and they have no worries about the team's reconstruction and development after James retires. On the other hand, although the Mavericks have sent away the team-building core, their short-term combat power is still quite strong. When Irving returns next year and joins hands with Dark Brows, the Mavericks' lineup will definitely have the conditions to compete for the championship. Fortunately, they also won the No. 1 pick this year and locked in the draft favorite Flag, which may also have something to do with Doncic being traded.

Similar to the Lakers, the Warriors also reached a big deal, sending Wiggins and others away for Butler, who helped the Warriors to help them recover. In the early and mid-season of this season, the Warriors have already seemed dead. Young players such as Kumingga, Bogem and Moody are limited in strength. Curry was also in a bottleneck period at that time, and his feel was very unstable. He often scored single-digit points in a single game. The Warriors have been hovering in the middle and lower reaches of the West, and it is very difficult to enter the playoffs. However, as soon as Butler came, the Warriors were reborn and started in the second half of the season like the Lakers. They finally made it to the playoffs with a buzzer and defeated the Rockets, the second in the West, in the first round. Although the Warriors have stopped in the second round of the playoffs, the results are obviously beyond expectations. If Curry is not injured, they are likely to go further.

Of course, compared to Doncic and Butler's trade, there is another big deal this season that seems more worthwhile, that is, the trade of Towns. Last offseason, when the NBA preseason was about to start, the Timberwolves suddenly announced a deal, which made the entire league burst. They sent center Towns and got Randall, Divincenzo and a first round from the Knicks. From the perspective of the time, no one knew what the Timberwolves were looking for, and they actually sent off the All-Star inside player Towns and broke up the team's double tower combination. You should know that Towns has played for the Timberwolves for 9 years and has been working diligently during this period. Although the top limit for leading the team is average, he can continue to maintain the All-Star level. Moreover, last season, the Timberwolves had just achieved a breakthrough and relied on Edwards Towns to enter the Western Conference Finals. When the Timberwolves turned around, they suddenly wanted to demolish the team.

However, now looking at the hindsight, the Timberwolves' deal has other mystery. On the one hand, sending down Towns away can help them save a large amount of luxury tax and liberate their salary space, so as to prepare for the next contract renewal of Reed. On the other hand, the Timberwolves' lineup depth has also been improved. Divinchenzo is a good substitute to supplement his combat power, and Randall is also very suitable for the Wolves. The Timberwolves have relatively few independent offensive points, and Randall happens to get a lot of opportunities to hold the ball, sharing part of the pressure to hold the ball for Edwards. In this year's playoffs, Randle's performance was eye-catching. In the series against the Warriors, he averaged 25.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting percentage of 53.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.6%, and free throw percentage of 95.7%, helping the Timberwolves open up the situation many times at critical moments.

At the same time, the Knicks who lost Randall and obtained Towns also benefited greatly from the deal. They are in the great group of Brunson and Towns, and their books have improved greatly. Brunson is the Knicks' absolute ball-holding core. One of his strengths is breakthroughs. The inside requires space, and Towns happens to be a space-type center, which can complement Brunson. In the regular season, the Knicks' ranking soared to the top three in the Eastern Conference, which made another progress compared to last year. They easily defeated the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, and faced the defending champion Celtics in the second round, and they were unambiguous. They actually got the match point 3-1 (the score is now 3-2). This Knicks are really underestimated. Their starters are extremely tough, and they are all tough players, not afraid of training in the playoffs.

From this point of view, the deal between the Timberwolves and the Knicks is simply a win-win situation. The Timberwolves easily advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-1, and the Knicks won the second round match point 3-2. Everyone has a bright future, and the NBA playoff pattern is about to change drastically. Who would have thought that this year's Eastern Conference Finals match is likely to be the Pacers vs. Cavaliers. For the West, the Timberwolves have become the most competitive team. In the first two rounds of the series, they advanced very easily, and eliminated two traffic teams, the Lakers and the Warriors. No matter who enters the Western Conference Finals, it seems that it is very difficult for the Gray Wolves to pass the level. The Nuggets are not cheap against the Timberwolves because they consumed too much in previous games and were exhausted from the tiebreak for two consecutive rounds. The Timberwolves are not cheap, and Alexander's performance in the playoffs this year is difficult to convince. On the contrary, the Timberwolves' duo Edwards and Randle are undoubtedly more reliable. The Timberwolves are the biggest favorite to win the championship. Do you agree?
