The Phoenix Suns have made another significant trade, as reported by Shams. They have completed a 1-for-3 trade with the Utah Jazz, sending their unprotected first-round pick in 2031 to the Jazz in exchange for first-round picks in 2025, 2027, and 2029. However, it is important to note that these three returned first-round picks are the lowest among the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Utah Jazz. This move is clearly aimed at increasing the Suns' trading assets, as this trade triples the number of first-round picks they can use in trades, with the clear target being Jimmy Butler. A Heat journalist has stated that this trade marks the first step for the Suns in completing the Butler trade, involving multiple draft picks packaged together to acquire Butler, and this is expected to be at least a four-team mega-trade. According to Shams, the Heat have engaged in some effective discussions regarding potential Butler trades this week: "The current situation is that Jimmy Butler has applied for a trade for the third time. Earlier this month, he expressed his intentions to Pat Riley face-to-face, and last week, he also conveyed his thoughts to team owner Micky Arison and CEO Nick Arison. "I've been told that the Heat have had some productive discussions about potential Butler trades this week. However, this is a substantial contract, with a salary of 49millionthisseasonandaplayeroptionof49 million this season and a player option of 49millionthisseasonandaplayeroptionof52 million next season." "The final trade plan could involve two parties, or possibly three or four parties. But at the same time, Butler has…

The fans of the Tongxi team have recently become the "hot search" on the court, not their team. Imagine that the game has just been played halfway, and the fans began to vent their emotions, smashing water bottles, throwing debris, and even speaking without restraint to the opposing players. This scene is simply like a "classic plot" in a TV series, which makes people shake their heads. In the game against Shanxi, the Tongxi fans committed their old problems again. The referees and players are tired, and what is most speechless is that the scene almost lost control, and both sides almost broke out into conflict. As a result, the league had to punish them twice. However, the problem is that this does not seem to have made these fans remember. However, to put it another way, this game against Guangdong has made the Tongxi team's players perform quite eye-catching. Lin Wei, Leaf, Zhao Baqing and others played passionately, which was completely unlike playing a "life-saving battle". They played quite rhythmically, especially in the third quarter, when they launched a passionate offensive with the Guangdong team. Although they eventually fell behind by 12 points, their performance really had commendable aspects, especially Lin Wei's long-range three-pointer, which was simply stunning the audience. Who would have thought that these players could play such a beautiful game under such great pressure? Looking at the Guangdong team, Xu Jie, Walter, and Bazley's combination is simply a nightmare-level existence. They worked together to score more than 80 points, especially Bazley, whose two dunks directly pressed…

Basketball has a saying called "the heart of a champion," and football calls it "Guo'an always striving for first place." This is the spirit of Beijing people. We may not be strong enough, but we must persevere and maintain a spirit of striving and effort. This season in the CBA league, both Beijing teams have made significant investments during the offseason. The Shougang team has successively signed Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun, adding them to the roster with Zeng Fanbo, Lei Meng, and others, making their paper strength comparable to some championship-contending teams. On the other hand, Beikong is not to be outdone, having signed a package deal with Shenzhen for the frontcourt duo of Salinge and Shen Zijie, with Zhu Songwei joining the team on the perimeter, complemented by foreign players Rile, Tres, and others, making their strength also formidable. However, both teams have not performed as expected this season. Currently, Shougang ranks ninth in the league, while Beikong ranks tenth. Forget about contending for the championship; now, whether they can even enter the playoffs is questionable. In fact, your Beikong lineup, starting with Rile, Salinge, Liu Xiaoyu, Zou Yuchen, Zhu Songwei, and substitutes including Shen Zijie, Tres, Guo Hao, Zhang Fan, Meng Zikai, Liao Saning, Jin Xin, among others, is already a super-luxury battleship in the CBA. These substitute players could start for other teams, like Meng Zikai and Jin Xin, who were once the ironclad starters for Tianjin. But with this current record, aside from the impact of injuries, frankly, Min Lulei really needs to take responsibility.…

On January 23 at 3:45, the 28th round of the English Championship saw second-placed Leeds United host twelfth-placed Norwich. Leeds United achieved a significant victory in their derby match, improving their defensive performance. They defeated Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at home last week, with Daniel Farke's team securing a Yorkshire derby win and ending a two-game draw streak. Leeds United has won ten out of their last eleven home matches in the English Championship, making them the team with the best home record this season. Compared to the substitute lineup in the FA Cup, Leeds United fielded their strongest squad last week, with Solomon scoring the first goal three minutes into the game through a rebound. Despite dominating Sheffield Wednesday, they were unable to score further goals. In the 83rd minute, head coach Daniel Farke replaced goal-scoring Solomon with Ramazani, and the Belgian forward scored five minutes after coming on. In stoppage time, Ramazani's shot was inadvertently knocked into the net by Tanaka Bi with his heel, securing a resounding victory for Leeds United with goals from three players who joined the team this season. Due to Sheffield United's victory over Swansea in this round, Leeds United has dropped to second place, now two points behind the leaders. Head coach Daniel Farke remains tight-lipped about the transfer market, although Aston Villa's Buendia is rumored to be joining Leeds United. The German coach only confirmed that the player might leave Villa Park. Defender De Bajo, who has only played once this season, will not be leaving the team. Italian forward Wilfried Gnoto…

James has successfully helped the Lakers win a championship after joining the team. However, fans also understand that James is always a player who has changed teams four times, and he does not have the loyalty attribute of Kobe, so the sense of belonging to him in the Lakers is not that strong. In recent seasons, the Lakers' record has also shown a significant decline, and the outside world's expectations for whether James can lead the Lakers to win another championship are not high. James himself also understands that his peak is no longer there, and it is unlikely that he will rely on himself to win the championship in the Lakers next. The Lakers' attitude towards James is also quite sensitive because they are unwilling to continue to believe in James. Currently, Lakers reporter Buha wrote about the Lakers' handling of James and Davis and future development plans. This time, it is highly unlikely that James will continue to stay with the Lakers. Because the Lakers want to retain some existing players and assets for future rebuilding. Therefore, they cannot meet James' plan to strengthen the team and compete for the championship. Davis is also secretly competing, and he naturally knows that he is the future of the Lakers. Once James retires, he will carry the team alone, so he does not want to overuse future assets. The awkward thing about James now is that he is different from players like Kobe who are one city in the Lakers. As a player who travels east and west, his retirement…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Dominates Guangdong Men's Basketball! Xu Jie Targeted, Bazley Without Three-Pointers, Jilun Wat Injured The Shanghai men's basketball team faces off against the Guangdong men's basketball team in a home match! In the first game, Shanghai won by a large margin of 33 points. Returning to their home court for this match, they have no reason to lose and must secure a double kill.

In the first quarter, Guangdong trails Shanghai by 8 points with a score of 23-31. Guangdong took the lead initially with a 9-0 start. Shanghai then responded with a 10-0 run. Following this, Guangdong was dominated by Shanghai on both offense and defense, being completely overwhelmed. Shanghai only needed to restrict Xu Jie to disrupt Guangdong's offensive flow. Their defense led to offense, counterattacks emerged, and accurate three-point shooting naturally widened the gap. In the second quarter, Guangdong continued to struggle with scoring, compounded by poor free-throw performance. They were unable to capitalize on easy points, leaving one to wonder who to blame. Shanghai's offense was also average, so the point difference did not increase significantly. Zhang Haofei had consecutive misses, while Bradsoe scored three points, bringing the difference to 12 points. Xu Jie finally hit a three-pointer, but Wilson threw the ball out of bounds, and Ren Junfei had consecutive misses as well. Both Wilson and Li Hongquan missed their three-point attempts, indicating that both teams were struggling…
