NBA forecast

After a day without a game to celebrate Thanksgiving, the NBA regular season begins on Friday afternoon. Among the 10 games to follow, these also count for the Emirates NBA Cup, we find the visit of the New York Knicks to the Spectrum Center, home of the Charlotte Hornets. After falling to 12th place in the Eastern Conference, Charlotte is in doubt. Despite the great performances night after night of LaMelo Ball, who is easily the 2nd best scorer in the League with an average of 31.1 points, the franchise coached by Charles Lee is actually on a series of suffer loss. Having lost 7 of their last 9 games, the team featuring the French Moussa Diabaté and Tidjane Salaün must pull themselves together if they do not want their season to turn sour.

The momentum is against New York, which appears in 4th place in the Eastern Conference thanks to the 6 victories achieved in its last 9 meetings. It looks like the mayonnaise is finally taking hold between the newcomers Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges and those who were there last year, including the playmaker Jalen Brunson. The team coached by Tom Thibodeau, however, is still weak, as their two recent losses to Utah and Dallas admitted. After handling Denver well after their bad loss in Utah, the Knicks will try to do the same in Charlotte after having a non-game in Dallas.

2024 NBA Trade Deadline Analysis and Impact

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 11, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

76ers general manager Daryl Morey has always been a believer in the magic ball theory. In the past, the teams he led always advocated three-pointers and shots in the penalty area. However, this season, the 76ers team’s average number of three-pointers per game ranked sixth in the league. , the main reason is the lack of shooters with both quality and quality. The arrival of Buddy Hield is like rain from heaven

This year’s trade deadline is relatively deserted. In previous years, most teams would wait until the last minute to make a move in order to wait for the best offer. However, this year many teams completed transactions in advance to reserve more buffer space. OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam , Terry Rozier and other popular targets were all settled last month. The lessons from last year’s Warriors Gary Payton II trade are not far away.Pioneers suspected of hiding his injuriesbut the Warriors were unwilling to take back James Wiseman, whose relationship had already cracked, so they had no choice but to let the deal go through.

In addition, there are no blockbuster deals involving big-name stars during this year’s trade deadline. Rather than upgrading their roster, more teams are focusing on accumulating future assets or saving taxes.According to statistics from “The Athletic” senior reporter John Hollingerin the 36 hours before this year’s trade deadline, a total of 17 transactions occurred. Among the 46 players involved, only 18 were players that the new owner really wanted to keep. The others were either released immediately or were expected Only briefly crossing the water.

As mentioned in previous articles, the NBA has entered an ice age for transactions. Despite this, there are still many operations worthy of attention. The following will be a case-by-case analysis of the transactions that occurred on this year’s transaction deadline.

Extended reading: Summary of the 2024 NBA mid-season trade deadline: Is it the best option for the Lakers to stand still with the Warriors trapped in an uninhabited island during the ice age of trading?

Timberwolves, PistonsMonté Morristransaction case

Send to Timberwolves Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr., 2030 second-round pick Monté Morris Pistons Monté Morris Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr., 2030 second-round pick

Point guard is the Timberwolves’ most short-staffed position.Backup point guard Jordan McLaughlin’s On/Off Court NetRtg-16.8, ranking third from the bottom on the teamso the Timberwolves continued to explore opportunities to recruit point guards before the trade deadline.It is said that Dennis Schröder and Kyle Lowry were once considered by the front office staff.and finally the Timberwolves got Monté Morris.

This deal is a good deal for the Timberwolves becauseThe team has four original second-round picks available for actionit is acceptable to use a second-round pick as a bargaining chip, and Troy Brown Jr. and Shake Milton are not in the coaching staff’s fixed rotation list.

Morris, who was brought in by the Timberwolves, can just fill the vacancy in the team. Although he suffered from a quadriceps strain this season and did not return until late January, when he is healthy, his organizational performance is always very stable. , among all players with an attendance rate of 50%, his assists and turnovers have ranked among the top six in the league in the past five seasons. In addition, excluding this season when he played less games, his career three-point shooting percentage is as high as 39.2%. As long as he can get rid of injuries, Morris will definitely be one of the best backup point guards in the league.

As for the Pistons, they hope to accumulate more future assets. Last summer, the Pistons paid a 2027 second-round draft pick for Morris, and now reselling it to the Timberwolves can be regarded as recovering the original cost. In addition, Milton and Brown in the transaction package are non-guaranteed contracts for next season. If there is no plan for long-term cooperation, they can be released, which will not increase the salary burden of the Pistons team too much.

Celtics, Grizzlies Xavier Tillmantransaction case

Send Celtics Lamar Stevens, 2027 second-round pick (via Hawks), 2030 second-round pick (via Mavericks) Xavier Tillman Sr. Grizzlies Xavier Tillman Sr. Lamar Stevens, 2027 second-round pick (via Hawks), 2030 Second round pick (via Mavericks)

The introduction of Tillman adds depth and diversity to the Celtics’ frontcourt. After letting Grant Williams go during the off-season, the Celtics lack a small-ball center with better mobility. The 6-foot-8-inch (about 203 cm) Tillman has both flexibility and confrontation, and can fill in the gaps. In addition, his arrival also buys additional insurance for the Celtics. The team’s two inside pillars Kristaps Porziņģis and Al Horford have missed a total of 23 games this season.

It is worth noting thatHis shooting percentage in the penalty area dropped from 71% last season to 56%., considering the Grizzlies’ injury wave, the lack of experienced organizers to create gaps for him, and the fact that the Grizzlies team’s three-point shooting percentage ranks third from the bottom in the league, and the space on the court cannot be opened, which may cause Tillman to take more shots. difficult. After moving to the Celtics, the situation will be completely different. With Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday and Porziņģis around him to help absorb monsters, Tillman is expected to regain his previous destructive power in the penalty area.

In addition, on the defensive end, Tillman can reduce the opponent’s shooting percentage by an average of 12.9% within 6 feet of the basket, ranking first in the Grizzlies team (attendance rate is at least 50%), and can also be parachuted into the Celtics’ regular rotation. Second place in the substitute lineup, behind Porziņģis.

Miami Heat Trade Kyle Lowry to Hornets for Terry Rozier: Mid-Season 2024 Transaction Update

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 24, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

News about the mid-season trade in 2024 continues. According to the news, the Heat have completed the transaction with the Hornets. The Heat used Kyle Lowry plus a 2027 first-round pick to exchange Terry Rozier with the Hornets.

News about Kyle Lowry seems to be spreading rapidly in the near future and now has a direction. In last year’s offseason, the Heat came up with ideas for Lowry, who has one year left on his contract this season. They should decide whether to stay or leave him this season. At the end of last year, Lowry said in an interview that he would return to Toronto and play for him. The Raptors have retired for many years, and just yesterday, it was reported that the Heat will not wait until close to the trade deadline to move Lowry, and are likely to make a change in the near future. On January 23, US time, Lowry will leave the Heat immediately.

The Heat negotiated a deal with the Hornets, sending Lowry and a 2027 first-round draft pick to the Hornets in exchange for Hornets guard Terry Rozier III.

Lowry became a free agent in the 2021 offseason, and eventually moved to the Heat from the Raptors in a sign-and-exchange deal. The Heat sent Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa, and gave Lowry a three-year contract worth $85 million. This season, it is $29.68 million. Lowry, who is out of contract but will turn 38 this year, has dropped to 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists this season, which are the lowest points since the 2009-10 season. Since the 2010-11 season, he has been The main guard of the Rockets, he was then traded to the Raptors in 2012. After a nine-year career with the Raptors, except for sharing the point guard duties with Jose Calderon in the first year, he has been the starting point guard of the Raptors since then. He was also the main point guard when the Raptors won the championship in 2019. He is the first point guard in the history of the Raptors.

Because of these glorious backgrounds, although the Raptors are unwilling to keep Lowry in 2021 due to lineup reorganization and let him transfer to the Heat, Toronto fans still welcome Lowry very much, and Lowry still agrees with the Raptors. That’s why he revealed that he will Before retiring, Lowry returned to the Raptors and retired as a Raptors player. However, in the past two years, Lowry’s contribution to the Heat has not matched his salary. The Heat, who were eager to clean up Lowry’s salary, finally gave him a first-round ticket. Sign, trade with Hornets for Rozier. The Heat’s salary dropped slightly by 6.4 million after the transaction, which can help them save about 15 million in luxury taxes. The 2027 first-round pick given out is lottery-protected. If the Heat keep this first-round pick in 2027, they will send an unprotected first-round pick to the Hornets in 2028.

Rozier was the 15th overall pick in the first round of the Celtics in 2015. After being benched in the first year, he became a substitute guard for the Celtics in the second season, playing behind Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Marcus. After Smart, in the third season, not only did he improve the playing order after the Bradley trade, but he also served as the starter in all 19 games of the playoffs that year due to injuries to Kyrie Irving and Smart. His playoff averages were 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, which looks quite similar. Even though KI and Smart returned to the team healthy the following year, Rozier’s regular season data was revised downwards. However, he was still favored by the Hornets when he became a free agent after the season. In the end, the Hornets and Celtics negotiated a signing. In exchange, Rozier and Kemba Walker exchanged clubs. Rozier received a three-year salary of 58 million. After two years, he renewed his contract with the Hornets in advance. He is currently signing a four-year, 97 million contract extension. The contract has expired. There are 2 years after the season and 51.57 million, of which 26.64 million in the 2025-26 season is a player option.

Although Rozier was only a backup guard when he transferred to the team as a free agent, he became a competent starter as a combo guard after coming to the Hornets. Whether he started with Devonte’ Graham or later with LaMelo Ball, or served as the main point guard, his performance was outstanding. Quite satisfactory, and this season when Ball was injured, Rozier served as the Hornets’ main point guard, so that so far this season he has spent 65% of the time as point guard, twice as much as in the past two seasons with the Hornets. However, Rozier did not affect the offense because he was the main point guard. This season, he averaged 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and a shooting percentage of 0.458, all career highs, so his market price in the trading market skyrocketed.

After Rozier joins the Heat, he is expected to become an important source of firepower in the Heat’s backcourt. He and Tyler Herro can join forces to start, making up for Lowry’s failure to provide much firepower support this season even if he starts. The aging Lowry will obviously not be part of the Hornets’ blueprint for the future. The Hornets currently claim that they will not buy out immediately and hope to find the next team willing to take over. However, no matter what happens in the end, Lowry can be expected to be at the trade deadline. After changing teams again a few days ago, the Hornets’ real gain is the 2027 first-round pick.

The Celtics have stood out at the top of the list of top favorites to win the ring at the end of the season. Not only because of their good performance last season, nor because of the potential of their squad, but because the Bostonians have so far the best record in the NBA, having won 11 of their 13 games. Tonight they travel to Charlotte to face the Hornets, one of the worst teams in the competition. The Hornets, defeated in their last four games, have lost 9 of their last 12 games. On the other hand, there is nothing to suspect that Charlotte’s situation will change, so the forecast seems very clear in favor of the visitors and it is a matter of discerning in principle what the final advantage on the scoreboard will be.

Recap of Tuesday’s NBA In-Season Tournament with Tyrese Haliburton Shining for the Pacers and Fights and Controversies Erupting

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 15, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers were the brightest note of this Tuesday’s NBA In-Season Tournament, the new tournament that experiments with the cup format in the NBA and which on this day was also marked by several fights and controversies, especially which ended with three being sent off (Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Jaden McDaniels) in the game between Warriors and Wolves.

Timberwolves 101 – Warriors 104

Not two minutes of the game had been played when, still with 0-0 on the scoreboard, Thompson (Warriors) and McDaniels (Wolves) began a brawl and numerous players ended up entangled in that incident, including Green (Warriors) and Rudy Gobert (Wolves ), who was saved from expulsion since the referees understood that he got involved to try to separate. The Dominican-American Karl-Anthony Towns was the most outstanding of the Wolves with 33 points and 11 rebounds while the rookie Brandin Podziemski, with 27 points, took a step forward for the Warriors who were without Stephen Curry due to knee discomfort.

Sixers 126 – Pacers 132

Haliburton, at an elite level in the NBA, gave a performance with 33 points (including 7 triples), 7 rebounds and 15 assists without losing a single ball that stopped the Sixers who had won eight games in a row.Joel Embiid (39 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists) was Philadelphia’s top scorer against the Pacers who have started the campaign very strongly.

Thunder 123 – Spurs 87

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 steals) led the Thunder’s beating and sneaked into the highly anticipated duel between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren. The two are two prodigious centers with a splendid future but they also both had an unfortunate day, since Wembanyama was left with only 8 points (4 of 15 on field goals) with 14 rebounds and 5 turnovers while Holmgren could only add 9 points (3 of 10 on shots) and 7 rebounds for the Thunder .

Nuggets 111- Clippers 108

Six losses in a row and five of them since James Harden arrived. That is the unfortunate balance of the Los Angeles Clippers, who have not yet won with ‘La Barba’ and who this time, despite putting up a fight, fell to the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic was once again great (32 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists ) while Paul George was the best of the Clippers (35 points and 7 rebounds).

Lakers 134 – Grizzlies 107

The Spanish Santi Aldama scored his best score in the NBA with 24 points, but his Memphis Grizzlies extended their crisis with a resounding defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. Aldama was also the protagonist of a fight in which Anthony Davis pushed him to the ground and the referees distributed several techniques between players from both teams. D’Angelo Russell, with 24 points, was the top scorer for the Angelenos.

Pelicans 131 – Mavericks 110

Luka Doncic had an evening to forget (16 points on 5 of 16 shooting) and the Dallas Mavericks lost to the New Orleans Pelicans who took a breather after five straight losses. Brandon Ingram and Jordan Hawkins contributed 25 points each for the Pelicans.

Nets 124 – Magic 104

With 12 points in the last quarter and 29 in total, Spencer Dinwiddie was the key man in the Brooklyn Nets’ victory in the fourth quarter (36-18) to defeat the Orlando Magic. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero were the best on the team from Florida with 21 and 19 points, respectively.

Pistons 120 – Hawks 126

Without Trae Young, who has just become a father for the second time, Dejounte Murray took the helm of the Atlanta Hawks with 32 points and 10 assists against Detroit. Marvin Bagley III had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Pistons.

Hornets 105 – Heat 111

Jimmy Butler scored 32 points boasting effectiveness (10 of 14) for the Miami Heat to defeat the Hornets. PJ Washington also scored 32 points in Charlotte.

Jazz 115 – Blazzers 99

Jordan Clarkson (30 points) was one of six players in double-digit scoring for the Jazz in their win over the Blazers. Jerami Grant (26 points) was the most productive in Portland.
