Crazy New York: The swinging Nets and the Rockets

The day before the draft, there were two big trades.

New York: Bogdanovic, '25, '27, '29 and '31 first-round picks (all unprotected), '25 first-round pick from the Bucks (1-4 picks protected), 2028 first-round swap, '25 second-rounder;

Nets Out: Bridges, '26 second round;

One Bridges actually exchanged for five first-round rounders, and it seems that the Nets didn't look down on Green + a number of first-round picks at the price of a few first-round picks to be credible. And this will inevitably further increase the value of the player, recalling that the Huskies smashed a bunch of first-round replacement Gobert is already outrageous, and New York is even more outrageous. can't help but make the old buddies think of the sentence of Fengyue Field:

Raising the price of ×, no licking dog is innocent.

New York's move can be described as crazy, because Bridges is the top 3D and can't reach the All-Star level. The Nets' attempt to rebuild with him at their core lasted a year and a half, and failed. But then again, Bridges, in addition to not being an All-Star, has all the elements that New York needs.

For one, he is an alumnus of the University of Villanueva and was selected with the 10th pick in the first round in 2018. The big man in the New York team is from Villanueva, who was selected with the 33rd pick in the second round in '18; DiVincenzo, also from Villanueva, was drafted with the 17th pick in the first round in '18; Hart is still from Villanueva and was drafted with the 30th pick in '17. Goodfellas Brothers Basketball has evolved into dormitory basketball. Brothers can be superficial brothers, but the boys' dormitories usually get along with each other day and night, and if you don't want to be wronged outside or don't do your sister well, your roommates can really open their hearts and drink with you;

Second, Bridges is a true Thibodeau specialist, and he never missed any games during his college years, so he is undoubtedly an excellent embryo for working on the plantation. Isn't it exciting for Thibodeau to sigh that donkeys are not durable enough, and now that Bridges is in sight? From the perspective of passers-by, there is also a good show, when the most durable nuclear-powered donkey in the alliance meets the most impersonal farmer, I don't know whether the spear pierces the shield or the shield prevents the spear;

Third, New York has found a strong flank group that can theoretically match the Celtics, and if Bridges can successfully renew Anunoby's contract and add Hart, the three brothers will inevitably erase the fierce offensive fire. In case of emergency, let DiVincenzo appear together, and there is no pressure to put five outside.

Of course, there is one more thing that New York has to do next, try to use Randle and Miro as chips, with the remaining draft picks to continue to upgrade, and form such a regular lineup:

Backcourt: Brunson, DiVincenzo

Flanks: Bridges, Anunoby, Hart, Mr. X

Centre-forward: Hartenstein

Subs: Omit (Thibodeau does not need a sub)

Doesn't it look like it? In particular, if Mr. X is in place and the grade is sufficient, New York really has the capital to wrestle with the Celtics. After completing its work, the metropolis must have the pride and style of the metropolis.

Compared to New York, which is playing hard, the Nets' thinking is quite straightforward. Since the rebuilding around Bridges has failed, and it is not interesting to struggle any longer, they negotiated a deal with New York while they completed the hookup with the Rockets.

Rockets out: '25 Nets swap, '26 Nets first round

Nets out: 25 years of first-round swap with the Suns (Thunder first swapped with the Rockets, if the swap is successful, then swapped with the Suns), 27 years of the Suns first round, 29 years of the Suns, Mavericks and Rockets three first-round picks better in the first round;

It wasn't until the completion of the trade with the Rockets that the Nets' bad plans surfaced. 25 years is the legendary draft year, and it is serious to go all out, and it also retains the possibility of buffering for one year after the 25-year high-pick rookie joins, and then fighting for a high level in 26 years. Since it is going all out, the team will become a supermarket in the future. Quality or qualified role players, including Cameron Johnson, Finney Smith and Schroder, will be sold. Claxton will renew his contract first and then sell it when he sees an opportunity.

There may be and only a small train for the time being, buddy is young after all, so let him let go of his fingers and maybe he can pick out something. Even if you can't be one of the leaders of the future team, it's not too late to sell it after you raise your value.

Look back at the rocket.

After the transaction was completed, many remnants were puzzled, saying that Stone was doing a loss-making business again. In fact, the transaction between the Rockets and the Nets is essentially a futures exchange for farther futures, because the 25-year first-round swap and the 26-year first-round swap will conflict with the growth of the current six sons, even if the master is really selected. Don't forget that the rockets are holding a flower pick this year, where is the space for the new little ghost to thrive? Therefore, move the cash-in period of the draft picks back and sell the Nets' personal favors by the way to facilitate future negotiations.

Shipment of one round of one exchange, two first rounds of two exchanges. Among them, the 25-year-old sign is of average value, and it is expected to be like in the middle and late stages of the first round. The focus is on the first round of the Suns in '27 and the two first-round picks in the three first-round picks of the Suns & Mavericks & Rockets in '29. There is no doubt that the Rockets are gambling that the Suns will fall apart in the next two or three years and degenerate into a bad team in the league.

At the same time, the Rockets still retain the possibility of a draft draft day operation, because this year's probe pick is still in hand. At that time, a shuttle can be exchanged for a real star (Durant & Jimmy) to press the lineup, which will greatly increase the probability of directly entering the playoffs in the 24-25 season; Retirement can reserve future assets and then move. It is possible to advance or retreat, and individuals tend to enter, take chips to inquire about the price, and ask without loss.

Finally, a few more nagging, some remnants still have to be patient. From 20 years of demolition to four years, from the bottom of the league to the winning rate of 50%, is this rebuilding slow? If that's slow, won't the teams that have been at the bottom for years be alive?

Even if you compare the Thunder, which is known for its speed of rebuilding, you will find that the rebuilding speed of the rocket is not too slow. In 2019, the Thunder cleared the dual-core rebuild, and by chance, the old cannon joined and brought Alexander for a year, how many wins did the Thunder win in the 20-21 season? 22 wins; How many wins in the 21-22 season? 24 wins; How many wins in the 22-23 season? 40 wins; It wasn't until the 23-24 season that the rebuild was successful. The Rockets started to rebuild in 20 years, and after three years led by Silas, Udoka led the team to a 41-41 record in the 23-24 season.

Of course, since there is still the possibility of the Rockets continuing to improve in the new season, why bother shouting?

Although the road to reconstruction has been bumpy, we still believe that the future is bright.
