The recent situation of the Suns has been nothing short of disastrous. They even lost a game against the Hornets, who were already on a ten-game losing streak, which is incredibly disappointing. The atmosphere within the team, from top to bottom, has become utterly terrible. Everyone is filled with embarrassment and anger due to the loss, and a sense of oppression hangs over the entire team. Even outside the court, there are many discordant sounds constantly coming out. It is reported that after the game, there was a severe internal conflict in the Suns' locker room. The team members seemed to be blaming each other and not giving in because of the loss, as if they were "fighting for attention" over the defeat. There are rumors that Beal, considered the "third giant" of the team, had a very intense verbal conflict with the coaching staff. The source of the problem was that Beal openly clashed with a member of the coaching staff in the locker room. Perhaps everyone would be surprised that such a thing could happen in a team with three giants. But the reality is just like this. Obviously, Beal is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the team. He feels that he has made too many sacrifices for the team, but in the end, he still lost the battle that should have been won in the midst of consecutive defeats. The coaching staff always firmly believes that Beal must continue to contribute and make sacrifices for the team. In this process, no one in the team…

Official Announcement! Trade and Signing Completed! Lakers Championship Team in Place, Internet Celebrity Team Does Not Disappoint Beijing time January 16th news, the league today was born a trade and a signing.‌ The Lakers officially announced that the team has signed center Trey Jamison with a two-way contract. Jamison is 25 years old and stands at 2 meters 11 centimeters tall. This season, Jamison played 16 games for the Pelicans, averaging 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. It can only be said that this "big dummy" slightly increased the thickness of the Lakers' weak interior. As an edge player, Jamison's prospects upon joining the Lakers are not promising, and there is even a possibility that he will not get any playing time. Do not forget that there are more famous centers such as Hayes, Wood, and Colloch in front of him who cannot play. The Lakers' purpose in signing him may simply be to satisfy the mentality of fans who want to strengthen the team, while also giving an explanation to James and Davis. It has already been revealed by the Lakers' team reporter that new coach Redick prefers to let Davis play the center position, and the team does not want to trade for centers like Valanciunas, Kessler, and Lowry. Therefore, it is highly likely that the Lakers will end this season with such a center rotation. The Suns and Hornets have finalized the first trade of 2025 today. The Suns traded for Richards from the Hornets, sending forward Okogie, and also received a second-round pick, while the…

On January 17th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season continued with the Washington Wizards hosting the Phoenix Suns. This was the first matchup between the two teams this season, with the Suns winning both encounters last season, showing a clear advantage. However, since the New Year, the Suns have been struggling, currently holding a record of 19 wins and 20 losses, ranking 11th in the West. Additionally, there has been infighting in the team's locker room, with some players expressing frustration over their roles and positions. Subsequently, head coach Budenholzer made drastic reforms, demoting one of the three giants, Beal, and Nurkic to the bench, which had an immediate effect, with the team's recent form improving. In contrast, the Wizards have chosen to tank, currently with a record of 6 wins and 32 losses, suffering a 7-game losing streak and ranking last in the East. The team's core player Kuzma has been put on the trading block, but the market is not good, as his performance has indeed been poor this season due to injuries and other reasons; however, Poole has experienced a resurgence, averaging 21.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game this season compared to last. Before the game, American media ESPN also provided the latest win probability prediction for today's game, with the Wizards having only a 28.1% chance of winning, while the Suns' win probability stands at a high 71.9%. Obviously, the American media favors the Suns to continue their winning streak against the Wizards. In terms of starting lineups, the…

On January 16th, Beijing time, the Suns and Hornets completed a 4-for-2 trade. The Suns used Okeke + the Nuggets' second-round picks from 2026 to 2031 + their own second-round pick in 2031 to acquire Richards + the Nuggets' second-round pick in 2025! This trade finally solved the Suns' problem of starting center, as Richards' athleticism, rebounding, rim protection, and ability to score close to the basket are all urgently needed by the Suns. However, the Suns' problems cannot be solved by one person alone, and there will definitely be more trades to come. The Suns currently have the following remaining trade resources: Draft picks: first-round pick in 2031, second-round pick from the Nuggets in 2025; Players who cannot be traded (ranked from strongest to weakest): Beal, Jones, Durant, Booker, Dunn, O'Neal, Allen. Among them, Beal's trade veto power is unshakable, and Jones agreed to a starting position when he joined at the minimum salary; Players who can be traded: Plumlee/Iguodala (one of the two), Morris, Ball; Players the Suns most want to trade: Nurkic (no market); In summary, the Suns can use 2 draft picks + Morris + Ball + Plumlee/Iguodala + Nurkic for trading, and at most add Allen (in case of emergency). Among these, Morris (2.8 million), Ball (2.43 million), and oyster (3.3 million) can only be considered as extras with little trading value; Iguodala (1.86 million) is also not very valuable; only the draft picks and Allen (annual salary of 15.63 million) are truly attractive chips! And Nurkic (18.13 million) can only be a negative asset…

On January 16th, Beijing time, as the NBA season progresses and the trade deadline approaches, the Phoenix Suns have announced a significant trade that has been relatively quiet until now. The Suns have completed a 4-for-2 trade, sending away one of their key players to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for a star center, further strengthening their frontline capabilities. This move leaves other teams wondering how they will compete. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Suns have traded Dario Saric and three second-round picks to the Hornets for Mason Plumlee and a second-round pick. Notably, after the trade was finalized, Saric did not express any dissatisfaction with the Suns' management. Instead, he posted a farewell message on social media, using a crying laughing emoji to bid adieu to his teammates, including Kevin Durant, as if leaving were a form of liberation. Returning to the main point, as the Hornets' core center, Plumlee was also a long-time target for reinforcement by the Lakers before joining the Suns through the trade. This season, he played 21 games for the Hornets, averaging 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block in 21 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 56%. It's worth noting that Plumlee's annual salary is only $5 million, making him a cost-effective blue-collar player. In contrast, Saric played 25 regular-season games for the Suns this season, averaging 6 points and 2 rebounds in 14 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 49% and an impressive three-point shooting rate of 38%. Although it was difficult for the Suns'…

On January 17th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In today's focus game, the Suns challenged the Wizards away. Beal missed the game due to injury, and the Suns started an offensive spree in the first quarter, winning the Wizards by 13 points in a single quarter. Both teams had high offensive efficiency in the second quarter, with the Suns leading by 14 points at halftime. The Suns then expanded their lead to as many as 24 points in the third quarter, but the Wizards narrowed the gap to just 3 points in the fourth quarter. Booker hit a key three-pointer to help the Suns win without any trouble. The Suns finally defeated the Wizards 130-123 away from home. The Suns' record became 20 wins and 20 losses, while the Wizards suffered their eighth consecutive loss, with a record of 6 wins and 33 losses. Both sides data:‌ Suns - Booker 37 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, Durant 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, Dunn 18 points, 11 rebounds, Allen 21 points, 5 rebounds, Plumlee 6 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, Jones 9 points, 10 assists; Wizards - Poole 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, Kuzma 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, Culibaly 13 points, Sar 16 points, 9 rebounds, Valanciunas 11 points, 8 rebounds, Kispert 14 points, George 24 points, Champagnie 10 points.

Congratulations to the Lakers and Suns! A 4-for-2 trade has been completed, and Anthony Davis finally gets his wish On January 16th, Beijing time, the latest round of NBA regular season games have all concluded. In addition to the thrilling basketball matches on the court, several significant off-court news have emerged overnight in the league. The editor has integrated these reports for your information, please do not overinterpret them. Among them, congratulations to the Lakers, a signing and a cut have been officially completed, and Anthony Davis has finally achieved his wish. Congratulations to the Suns, a 4-for-2 trade has been completed, and the three giants welcome a super frontcourt player to join. Domestically, Yang Hanshen, the number one player of the Chinese men's basketball team, has officially teamed up with James, signing with Rich Paul's agency company to prepare for the related matters of registering for the NBA draft conference in April. Regarding the Suns, according to NBA reporter Shams, the Suns have officially reached a 4-for-2 blockbuster trade with the Hornets. The details of the trade are that the Suns sent Okogie + 3 second-round picks to receive Richards + a second-round pick from the Hornets. It is worth noting that this trade not only enhances the Suns' frontcourt strength but also saves the team at least 20millioninluxurytaxbyreplacingOkogie′s20 million in luxury tax by replacing Okogie's 20millioninluxurytaxbyreplacingOkogie′s8 million salary with Richards' $5 million salary, which can be considered a double success.

This season, the Phoenix Suns have found themselves in an extremely embarrassing situation. They have paid a luxury tax of as high as 188million,rankingfirstintheentireleagueandbecomingtheonlyteaminNBAhistorytospendover188 million, ranking first in the entire league and becoming the only team in NBA history to spend over 188million,rankingfirstintheentireleagueandbecomingtheonlyteaminNBAhistorytospendover400 million. With such a huge investment, the owner naturally expects a corresponding record, but the reality is cruel. Currently ranked 12th in the West, even if they win this game, they will only have 16 wins and 18 losses. At the beginning of the season, they were once at the top of the Western Conference, but then their state plummeted. The owner's expectations have been dashed, and if they cannot make it into the playoffs or the play-in tournament, it is likely that the team will be dismantled. However, rebuilding the Suns is also difficult, as most of the first-round draft picks are controlled by the Houston Rockets, who hold three unprotected picks. To rebuild, they must first regain the draft picks, otherwise, they would just be making wedding dresses for others. In fact, when they brought in Beal, there were many voices of doubt from the outside. Beal performed outstandingly with the Wizards, but his playing style is very similar to Booker's. What the Suns really lacked at the time was not another powerful scorer, but a point guard who could activate the team or a strong player who could hold down the interior. However, at a time when the management urgently needed to strengthen the point guard and the interior, they traded Paul for Beal…

Overnight! Suns Complete 4-for-2 Trade, Thunder Hit Hard, Rockets Interested in Booker and Fox The Phoenix Suns have completed a 4-for-2 trade with the Charlotte Hornets, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Suns sent out Okeke and three second-round picks to the Hornets in exchange for Richards and one second-round pick. The second-round picks sent by the Suns are from the years 2031 (from the Suns), 2026 (from the Nuggets), and another from 2031 (from the Nuggets). In return, they received the Hornets' 2025 second-round pick. Richards, who is currently 27 years old, stands at 2.13 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms, playing as a center on the court. This season, he has averaged 8.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. According to statistics, Richards has had a shooting percentage of 65% over the past four seasons, ranking fifth in the NBA during that period (with at least 800 attempts). He could be considered the big center that the Suns have been longing for. John Gambadoro, a Suns reporter, reported that once Richards adapts to the team, he is expected to become the starting center for the Suns. After much anticipation, the Suns have finally completed the trade to successfully bring in the big center Richards, and it is hoped that this trade will help them overcome their difficulties and get back on track! The Oklahoma City Thunder has suffered another blow. The team announced that their center, Hartenstein, has suffered a left soleus muscle strain and is expected to undergo another injury assessment in about…

The NBA regular season is nearing its halfway point, with intense competition in both the East and West. In the West, the Thunder are leading the pack, followed closely by the Rockets. The rest of the teams are engaged in a fierce battle, with the Grizzlies and Nuggets vying for third place. Eight teams - the Clippers, Mavericks, Lakers, Timberwolves, Spurs, Kings, Suns, and Warriors - have a maximum win difference of only 2.5 games. Even though the Suns and Warriors have fallen from first place in the West, they still have an advantage due to their early-season performance. However, it's becoming increasingly unlikely that either team will make the playoffs this season. The Warriors' Curry is getting older and lacks support in ball handling, while the Suns rely solely on Durant and Beal for scoring, lacking depth in other areas. This season's Eastern Conference competition is more intense than in recent years. The Cavaliers are looking down at the competition, while the Celtics, as defending champions, maintain their framework but are overly obsessed with shooting. Holiday is declining, and Porzingis is not integrating well, relying heavily on Tatum's scoring and Horford's system. This season may be their last chance to win the championship. Other teams like the Knicks and Magic are performing steadily, while the Bucks and Heat are catching up. Even the Pistons, who have been tanking for several years, now have a win rate exceeding 50%, providing more excitement. However, there is one team that started the season as a "championship favorite" but is now seriously considering…
