Embiid is firmly in first place, the Clippers are super counterattacking, and the Lakers are offering Murray 4 for 1
On January 20th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and there was another crazy night off the court, in which the league announced the latest version of the MVP list, in which Embiid continued to occupy the first position; the Clippers completed a super counterattack, and in the past 10 offensive efficiency, they ranked first in the league; the Lakers actively acted in the trade market and provided the Hawks with a 4-for-1 trade plan; the Rockets also intend to strengthen through trades.
The NBA's official website released the latest regular season MVP list, and Embiid is still the first in the league, with Jokic and Alexander ranking second and third. Embiid's performance this season is still strong, averaging 35.1 points per game, and has scored 30+ in 19 consecutive games, ranking sixth longest in NBA history, and only 32 games less than Harden's active roster. The only thing that can stop Embiid from winning the MVP is injury, as he has missed 10 games, and according to the league's new rules, he must play 65 games a season to be eligible for individual awards.
After a period of running-in, the team has gradually improved, and in the past 10 games, their offensive efficiency has ranked first in the league. It can also be seen that the Clippers' run-in has been very good, and with Harden's organization, Leonard and George can better devote themselves to the offense. In the past 10 games, the Clippers have also achieved 8 wins and 2 losses, and the momentum is still very good.
The Lakers have picked up recently, but the team has not stopped changing and wants to make some changes and target the Hawks' Murray. It is reported that the Lakers have offered a 4-for-1 trade package to offer Murray by sending D'Angelo Russell, rookie Schifino, a 2029 first-round pick and additional draft compensation. However, the Eagles are not satisfied, and the negotiations between the two sides are currently stalled. Murray's performance this season is still good, averaging 21 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.
The Rockets also want to strengthen through trades, and the team has been in trouble recently, and the team has suffered three consecutive losses and dropped to 11th place in the West. However, the Rockets will not make major changes, more minor repairs, and are talking to the Knicks about Grimes, and it is unknown whether it can be achieved. At present, the Rockets are also trying to send away players such as Oladipo, Bullock and Landale in order to make the roster more competitive.
