The US media commented on the 20 big fish in the free market: Wiggins missed the top 10 and Clay was ranked fourth
On February 1, Beijing time, as the trade deadline approached, the American media "fadeawayworld" selected the top 20 big fish in the free market for each team to choose, of which Wiggins missed the top ten, and Klay ranked fourth.
Fifth place: DeRozan
Averages per game: 22.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.1 steals
Potential next home: Lakers, Knicks
As the Bulls enter a rebuilding phase, DeRozan is no longer fit for the team's building plan, but DeRozan is a good addition for most competitive teams.
He can provide a consistent 20+ scoring ability, and can also make a cameo appearance as a second point of possession, while also having a certain amount of mid-range strong solving ability, and the defense will not be a weak link.
Fourth place: Clay
Averages per game: 17.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks
Potential next home: Nets, Mavericks
As one of the core players of the Warriors dynasty, Klay is also one of the best shooters in NBA history, but unfortunately Klay's athleticism has declined seriously after a series of major injuries.
Considering the Warriors' poor record this season, Klay is no longer for sale, and the Warriors are currently listening to offers for Klay, and for some teams that need projection and experience, Klay may be a potential option to strengthen the team.
3rd place: Markkanen
Averages per game: 23.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals
Potential next home: Hawks, Thunder
After developing into an All-Star caliber player last season, Markkanen has continued to perform well this season, shooting 40 percent from three-point range and being extremely well-rounded on both ends of the floor.
Given the Jazz's rebuilding timeline and team goals, Markkanen doesn't fit the team's core requirements, especially given that he may want to pursue a max contract, and the Jazz will likely send him away before the trade deadline.
2nd place: Lavin
Averages per game: 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals
Potential next home: 76ers and Lakers
The Bulls are in the midst of a rebuild, and LaVine has been put on the shelf, a trustworthy scorer with a problem of insufficient defensive quality and a less friendly contract.
But LaVine is a good three-man option for some teams looking to improve their immediate game, and there are certainly reasons for both the struggling Lakers and Philadelphia, who are trying to get closer, to go after him.
1st place: Mitchell
Averages per game: 27.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.9 steals
Potential next home: Knicks vs. 76ers
Mitchell wanted to join a big-ball club when he was first forced to leave the Jazz, and the Cavaliers clearly didn't fit the bill, and there were rumors that Mitchell wanted to leave with limited overall competitiveness this season.
The Knicks were originally one of Mitchell's favorite next moves, and his addition will make New York a first-tier contender in the East, as is Philadelphia, and with the addition of Mitchell next to Embiid and Maxey, Philadelphia will be expected to go one step further.
The rest of the rankings are as follows
6-10: Murray, Vucevic, Grant, Capela and Russell;
11-15: Wiggins, Bridges, Bojan, Clarkson and Hunter;
16-20: Hield, Hachimura, Caruso, Covington and Brogdon.
