Beijing time on January 19, only about 20 days left from the trading deadline of this season, many teams in the league are eager to move in recent days, today we will understand some important developments in the trading market.
First of all, according to the NBA authority Wo Shen report, the Spurs, nuggets and a team that is not easy to name have reached a three-way deal, as follows: the Nuggets sent PJ Dozil and Pol Bohr, and got Brin Forbes; the Spurs sent Forbes to Get Hernan Gomez; the team that was inconvenient to name sent Hernan Gomez, got Pol Ball and Dozier. In addition, according to the Nuggets reporter Singer, the Nuggets also sent the 2028 second round pick to the Spurs in this deal.
The protagonist of this deal is undoubtedly Forbes, and his addition will give the Nuggets a big boost to the guard line. Since the start of the season, Forbes has averaged 9.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 43.2% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range, making him one of the most consistent pitchers in the league today.
Second, according to the latest news from "James Royal Reporter" Brian Windhorst, Nicholas Clarkston is not in the Nets' long-term development plan. It is reported that the team's management had evaluated the value of his trade at last year's draft, and they hoped to exchange Clarkston for some useful chips before the trade deadline.
Since the beginning of this season, Zhao Si can average 9.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 65.6% from the field, and his efficiency on the court is still quite high. It is worth mentioning that Clarkston is only 22 years old this year, and if it is cultivated, it is likely to become the next Capela, so it still has some value in the trading market.
So why did the Nets suddenly abandon Clarkston? The reason is that Sharp has been doing better and better recently, and he has a faster movement speed than Zhao Si, and can be the fifth position in the small ball lineup. In the past 5 games, Sharp has scored a total of 60 points, and his rise basically means that Clarkston has entered the countdown to departure.
In addition, according to the "Open Stand" reporter Jake Fischer, Jeramie Grant has a high probability of being sent away before the deal deadline. Sources revealed that the Pistons had used Grant, Sadiq Bay, Olynyk and a first-round pick to quote Ben Simmons to the 76ers, but the 76ers' management was not much interested in the deal.
According to recent news, unless Simmons' deal increases the 76ers' hopes of winning the championship, they will not easily try. According to Wasson, the 76ers intend to trade Simmons for a top 25 player in the league, but there is no similar offer in the market at the moment, so the deal has not progressed for a long time. Recently, some team management even said that the 76ers' asking price for Simmons was higher than before, which was unexpected.
