Downs' 224 million contract is terrifying! The Timberwolves gambled 1-for-3, and the Eastern pattern was earthquake

Oh, my God! Today's NBA is simply a frying pan! Dear fans, are you ready for the earthquake in the east?

Just now, a bombshell news came out - the Timberwolves actually sent their star Towns to the Knicks! This is not your average 1-for-1, but an earth-shattering 1-for-3 deal! In order to get Towns, the Knicks paid a lot of money and directly sent Randle, DiVincenzo and a first-round pick. This wave of operations can make those of us who are watching the excitement hi!

But wait, what are the Timberwolves doing? Just entered the Western Conference Finals, and seeing that it can continue to impact the championship next year, why did you tear down your home? Could it be that the boss suddenly turned into a miser? Actually, there is a secret behind this deal that everyone knows - saving money! That's right, it's the one that we ordinary people shout about every day.

The owner of the Timberwolves may have been watching a lot of money management classes lately and suddenly found that his wallet was about to be emptied by the team. You know, Downs just signed a 4-year 224 million contract, and his salary will soar to $50.05 million next year! This is not a small amount, it is estimated that even the boss will gasp when he hears it.

In addition, the total salary of the team has reached 277.1 million, the first in the league! The luxury tax is as high as 50.6 million, ranking third in the league. In this way, the boss may not be able to sleep at night, staring at the ledger all day long.

Second, the Knicks' gamble

And the Knicks on the other side were excited. They're going to have a big game in New York! You know, Downs is not an ordinary player, he averaged 21.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game last season, which is simply a living aphrodisiac on the basketball court!

The Knicks' operation directly caused their odds to win the championship soared to +700, ranking third in the league! It seems that fans in New York will have a good show next year, and the MSG arena is expected to be crowded!

Third, the pattern of the eastern region has changed greatly

At this moment, the whole east is going to change! It was already a situation of competition among the heroes, and now there is another dark horse. The Knicks are going to do something, and it is estimated that the Celtics, 76ers, and Heat will not be able to sit still.

Especially the Celtics, who originally thought that they were firmly in the top spot in the East, have suddenly emerged with a strong opponent, and they are afraid that they will be in a hurry. Coach Stevens is probably pacing around the office right now, thinking about how to deal with this new situation.

Fourth, what is the future of the Timberwolves?

Speaking of the Timberwolves, although they lost Towns, they were not all gained. Although Randle is a little older, he has about the same regular-season stats as Downs. And also got three-point sharpshooter DiVincenzo, who was the third-most three-point shooting champion in the league last season!

However, the Timberwolves, who have lost their twin towers, may face a lot of challenges next season. Especially if he meets the Nuggets again in the playoffs, Jokic is expected to wake up laughing from his dreams. After all, without Downs, who will help Gobert withstand Mr. Yoo's attack?

5. Psychological warfare of players

Finally, I have to say about the psychological state of the players. Downs posted an ellipsis on social media, apparently confused about the deal as well. I was traded from a team that I had played for 9 years, so I don't feel good about changing anyone.

But on second thought, maybe it's a new opportunity to come to the more competitive Knicks? After all, in New York, Towns can be the core of the team, and he no longer has to compete with Gobert for the inside.

And the other players of the Timberwolves, especially Edwards, are estimated to have mixed feelings in their hearts. On the one hand, he lost his good brother, and on the other hand, he could finally be on his own. This wave of operations can be said to be happy for all, or happy for all?

All in all, the deal sent a huge shock to the NBA. The pattern in the east has been completely disrupted, and there is one less strong team in the west. The next season will definitely be even more exciting!

Dear fans, what do you think of this deal? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, let's talk about this big game of NBA chess together!
