Spending the most money and paying the highest luxury tax, the team is trying to strengthen itself, but the results are not improving, and it has even fallen out of the playoffs. This is a bit confusing. The boss is also a basketball enthusiast. He was selected for the basketball team during his university days. Although he didn't achieve much and hardly played, he just likes it. After graduation, he even served as an assistant coach at the school. It wasn't until his father's earnest persuasion that he was unwilling to return home to take over the family business. Later, under his management, the company became the largest lending company in the United States. Just when the former owner of the Suns was willing to sell the team, he, who had money and loved basketball, immediately spent $4 billion to buy the team. He is the current owner of the Suns, Ishbia. The first thing he did when he came to the team was to recruit players. Durant, who was still with the Nets at the time, became his first target after buying the team. For this reason, the Suns were not reluctant to send their two best top-level 3Ds, Bridges and Cameron Johnson, to the Nets. From the current market situation, the value of Durant's trade is still on the rise. The Knicks gave four first-round picks to the Nets to get Bridges, and now the Nets are offering three first-round picks for Cameron Johnson. However, after the Suns brought Durant, they couldn't even break through the Western Conference.…

The Lakers are rumored to be going all-in with a massive 15-player trade that has set the NBA world ablaze. It's said that they're planning a "four-team trade" involving the Lakers, Hawks, Nets, and Trail Blazers, with the ultimate goal of acquiring key players to build a team centered around Trae Young and Anthony Davis, while also transitioning LeBron James into a supporting role as the "third man." This news has sparked intense debate among fans: Is this a life-or-death gamble for the Lakers, or a strategic move? It's undeniable that such a large-scale trade carries significant risks and pressure, and one misstep could turn a bold bet into a costly loss. To understand the logic behind this potential trade, we must first consider the Lakers' current situation. The team has long struggled with roster issues, and this season has been another harsh lesson. Their mediocre record, limited salary cap space, and the looming end of James' career have pushed the management to take a big swing. However, this rebuilding demand didn't come from the management alone but was commissioned by the team's dual-core leaders. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the cornerstones of the team, but their current state is concerning. James, at 38, remains formidable but is showing signs of strain from carrying the offensive and organizational load. He urgently needs a young, creative backcourt player to share the burden. Davis, on the other hand, has requested a teammate who can bolster the frontline and reduce his physical toll (not to mention his injury-prone physique). For James and…

The Brooklyn Nets trailed the Philadelphia 76ers by 17 points at halftime, with a score of 47-64. Let's take a look at the scoring situation for both teams at halftime. For the Nets, Zha Wei scored 11 points, Claxton had 8 points and 4 rebounds, Johnson contributed 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, Russell added 5 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals, Sharp had 3 points, Ovom had 3 points, and T. Martin scored 8 points. On the 76ers side, Caleb Martin had 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, Embiid scored 17 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists, George contributed 14 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals, Maxey had 6 points and 5 assists, and Drummond added 6 points and 4 rebounds. In terms of overall strength, the 76ers are clearly the stronger team. They are aiming for a championship, despite their current poor record. The three superstars are still in the process of building chemistry, and it is expected that they will go on a winning streak to improve their standings. The Nets, on the other hand, have taken a different approach. They have traded away all their capable players. This is because the Nets had an excellent start to the season, which did not align with the team's long-term interests. Therefore, they successively traded away Schroder and others. Facing the 76ers in this game, the Nets surprisingly started with an 11-0 run, excelling on both offense and defense. However, this was not sustainable. Subsequently, the Nets experienced a scoring drought, only…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with a total of 9 matchups scheduled. The specific results are as follows: 76ers defeated the Nets 123-94, Suns lost to the Pacers 108-126, Timberwolves lost to the Pistons 105-119, Jazz defeated the Heat 136-100, Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Bucks 105-102, Knicks lost to the Bulls 126-139, Nuggets defeated the Spurs 122-111, Grizzlies lost to the Warriors 113-121, and Hawks lost to the Clippers 105-131. Stars such as Embiid, Haliburton, Hua Zi, Cunningham, Sensabo, Simmons, Towns, Jokic, Wiggins, Harden, and Zubac all had impressive performances. So, who will win the title of today's best player? Let's take a look together. In the game between the Knicks and the Bulls, three players from the Bulls scored over 20 points, including LaVine with 33 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists, Vucevic with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists, and Kobe White with 33 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. They completed a comeback after trailing by 11 points, leading by as many as 19 points, in honor of Rose Night! The Knicks missed a good opportunity, with Brunson scoring 33 points and 8 assists in vain, and Towns also did his best! He played for 37 minutes, shooting 17 of 29 (3 of 7 from three-point range), making 7 of 10 free throws, and scored an impressive 44 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 assists. Especially in the final quarter, Towns fought until he was injured and retired, scoring 25 points alone, but it was not enough to save the team,…

The game between the Warriors and the Nets was truly astonishing, as we watched the Warriors go from a lead of up to 18 points to a final reversal. Such an outcome was unexpected by many. Initially, everyone thought that the Warriors could easily defeat the Nets, considering they were among the top contenders in the West, while the Nets were in a rebuilding phase with inconsistent performance, making the gap between them quite evident. However, the game's outcome delivered a resounding slap in the face to everyone. Not only did the Warriors fail to maintain their victory, but they also suffered a stunning reversal, which was quite surprising. At the beginning of the game, neither team was in particularly good form. The Warriors seemed to be holding back, and the Nets were somewhat disorganized, entering a low point where both sides took turns missing shots, making the scene somewhat tense. Fortunately, Johnson of the Nets broke the deadlock with a three-pointer from the corner, helping the Nets score first. On the Warriors' side, they relied on Green's breakthrough layup to gradually find some rhythm, followed by Thomas' corner three-pointer that stabilized the Nets' position. Subsequently, Wiggins repeatedly attacked the basket, and Davis also scored with a reverse layup under the basket, allowing the Warriors to gradually regain their composure. Until the end of the game, Curry and Hield's consecutive three-pointers allowed the Warriors to suddenly launch an 11-0 mini-climax, overtaking the score. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Nets 67-58. Entering the second quarter,…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues. In the recently concluded Eastern Conference matchup, the Bucks hosted the home game against the Nets, who are known for tanking. What was expected to be an easy victory turned out to be a surprising 113-110 upset for the Bucks, even with their three superstars on the court, and this happened while Simmons was resting. In this game, Russell, the new addition to the Nets, started and contributed 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 12 assists in 27 minutes. Adding to his debut performance against the Raptors with 22 points, 2 rebounds, and 8 assists, Russell has achieved an average of 10 assists in his first two games with the Nets, completely revitalizing the team's offensive system. Even the head coach couldn't help but praise Russell's passing vision and high-quality pick-and-roll plays, and core player Thomas also expressed that Russell's addition is great, as he has a high IQ and excels in both passing and shooting. Seeing Russell's immediate success after leaving, Lakers fans must be feeling very regretful. Pelinka traded Russell for Smith and Milton, whose combined debut scores were not even as high as Russell's average assists, causing doubts among the Lakers players about whether this trade was really beneficial. It's worth noting that this marks the second time Russell has been sent to the Nets by the Lakers. During the offseason, the management repeatedly used Russell as a bargaining chip, making it clear that the Lakers' future does not involve him. Therefore, there was much concern from the…

Since Cui Yongxi was injured on December 12 last year, there has been little news about him. On the one hand, Cui Yongxi hopes to recover quietly, and on the other hand, it is also the characteristics of professional players - no games, naturally no heat. Such a situation is really good for Xiao Cui, after all, he suffered a serious injury such as anterior cruciate ligament tear, which directly ended the season and may even affect his future career.

According to reports, Cui Yongxi has completed his leg surgery and repaired the torn left knee anterior cruciate ligament. He is currently in good condition and has entered the stage of rest and rehabilitation. Another two weeks have passed, and finally today there is new progress. It is understood that Cui Yongxi's current rehabilitation is going well, and he has gradually gotten rid of the support of crutches. According to the previous plan, after completing the surgery on December 20, Cui Yongxi needs to undergo rehabilitation in New York for about a month, and the doctor helping him is a rehabilitation expert recommended by the Nets. Next, Cui Yongxi will also take a short vacation and return home in mid-January to spend the Spring Festival with his family. Later, Cui Yongxi is expected to return to the United States in March this year to continue rehabilitation treatment. Cui Yongxi's American agent believes that Cui Yongxi…

The highly anticipated second stage of the CBA regular season has been filled with intense competition, and recently, news about the traditional powerhouse Guangdong men's basketball team possibly terminating their new foreign player Les early has caught the attention of fans. From Barton, who averages over 10 points per game, to Arms, who can play over 10 minutes per game, to Les, who cannot even take the court, Guangdong's introduction of small foreign players this season has basically become a "joke" throughout the league. In this awkward situation, Guangdong seems to have迎来ed the best opportunity to strengthen their domestic No. 3 position. It is reported that the domestic forward Cui Yongxi, who was cut by the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, will return to China in the short term. This means that Guangdong will迎来the best opportunity to contact Cui Yongxi. Cui Yongxi, who has completed surgery and is recovering well, has a low chance of returning to the NBA in the future. It should be noted that during his time with the Long Island Nets in the NBA Development League, Cui Yongxi showed great potential but suffered a serious ligament tear injury, leading to his release by the Nets. Even the intensity of the Development League seems to be something Cui Yongxi cannot adapt to at present, let alone a return to the NBA in the future. Cui Yongxi, who is currently recovering from his injury, is the only one Guangdong has a chance to shake. Because once Cui Yongxi can fully recover to 100% health, the Guangdong team, which is plagued…

The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continues, with news about Chinese men's basketball power forward Cui Yongxi's imminent return to China heating up. According to informed sources, Chinese player Cui Yongxi, who was cut by the NBA Eastern Conference powerhouse Brooklyn Nets, is recovering well during his rehabilitation phase and has gradually started to get off crutches. It is reported that Cui Yongxi plans to return to the country later this month. This means that many CBA league teams, including the Guangdong team, will have the opportunity to contact Cui Yongxi in the near future. This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng, who want to strengthen their front line. As we all know, Cui Yongxi previously signed a two-year two-way contract with the Nets, but suffered a serious ligament tear injury while playing for the Long Island Nets this season, after which he was cut by the Nets. Undoubtedly, Cui Yongxi still has the chance to make an impact in the NBA when he is 100% healthy. However, after suffering such a serious injury, Cui Yongxi is no longer favored by the outside world to continue playing in the NBA. Therefore, returning to the CBA league may be a better choice for Cui Yongxi in the future. Since the dark horse Guangzhou men's basketball team has sold many key players including Chen Yingjun, Zhu Mingzhen, Jia Mingru, Guo Kai, and Li Yanzhe, and signed new recruits Guo Ailun, Ding Yanhang, and others to join forces with Jiao Boqiao to form a new…

Everyone knows that just a few days ago, the Lakers completed a super heavyweight trade. They reached an agreement with the Nets, sending Russell, Lewis, and three second-round picks to the Nets in exchange for Finney-Smith and Milton. This trade was like giving the Lakers a shot of super-strong stimulant, infusing them with confidence. Why? Because the team acquired Smith, such an awesome wing 3D player, and Milton is also a strong rotation player on the perimeter. Looking at it this way, the Lakers really made a big profit. Don't think that after completing this trade, the Lakers will stop before the trade deadline this year. Pelinka's mentality this season seems to be ready to go all out, determined to dispel the gloom of the past few seasons with no harvest. Some fans are wondering if the Lakers make another big trade, will they still have enough chips? After all, there are only so many players on the team who can play, and if a few more are sent away, the depth of the lineup will definitely take a hit. You know what? The Lakers have some pretty key chips in their hands, most of which come from the draft picks they own. As American media has tallied up, the Lakers have quite a lot of draft picks available for trading, enough to facilitate a super heavyweight deal. Lakers general manager Pelinka is very confident about making another big trade. Moreover, American media believes that the Lakers will definitely show great aggressiveness before the trade deadline. According to Lakers beat…
