今天是2018年12月15日。自常规赛开始以来的60天里，三个戏剧性的、反复出现的故事线浮出水面:安东尼·戴维斯过早扭伤了脚踝，尼科·米罗蒂奇在夏天留起了胡子。新奥尔良似乎已经退出了季后赛的争夺，以低于50%的胜率排在第11位。这个挫折，再加上隆多和布吉的损失，已经挫败了眉头，因为他仰望着西西弗斯的不可能的任务，带领佩尔人进入季后赛。广告很有礼貌地走到管理层那里要求交易。湖人需要一个SG来搭配霍利迪，也需要一个可以替代阿尔茨海姆的大个子(如果有的话)，因为他们已经失去了布吉，而且他们的锋线将会非常的单薄。2.吉米-巴特勒和卡特在赛季开始时表现不错，狼队的胜率在50%左右徘徊。12月，在主场输给国王队后，这两位球星又一次公开争吵，灾难降临了。 The two have to be separated by coaches on the team bus after the two sub-tweet each other on the ride to the airport. Jimmy not-so-politely goes to management and requests a trade or he threatens to walk next summer. The Wolves are looking for a PG of the future and other young talent to put around Wiggins and KAT for cheap. They like the Blazers two rookie picks a lot. 3. The Kawhi Leonard experiment in Toronto has gone all bad. He's failed to give 100% and the Raptors are below-par in a weak Eastern Conference, sitting in 5th place in mid-December. His teammates including Lowry are not big fans, and behind the scenes the Klaw has cont'd to let his LA intentions known. He asks management to trade him to LA...again. At this point Toronto is screwed and Ujiri is fired while an interim GM scrambles to get any value for Kawhi that he can find. In short, Olshey pounces on a huge opportunity facilitated by the following: 1. The values for the Klaw and Jimmy Buckets has never been lower. Both teams are known flight risks throughout the league, and notoriously surly teammates not likely worth the rental or big bucks longterm unless you really 100% believe that either would help bring a championship. 2. There are teams that can offer each team mo' better trade packages than the Blazers. However, ALL of those teams (Boston, Philly, GSW, etc) will be highly competitive at this point in the season and not inclined to make dramatic trades for high-risk stars. 3. AD specifically asks for a trade to Portland to play with Dame. Portland offers the absolute best package they can for AD and good-enough offers to procure Jimmy and Kawhi in subsequent trades, given again their high risk to current and other potential trade partners. The Blazers, having just acquired AD, believe the Klaw and Jimmy will want to stay in Rip City to form a super 4 in Portland with AD and Dame. 4. The Blazers have started off the season better-than-expected and again sit in 3rd place thanks to the elevated play over last season of CJ, Moe, Zach, and ET. Here are therefore the respective trades: Portland > NO: CJ McCollum & Zach Collins for Anthony Davis & Alex Ajinca Portland > Minny: ET, Anfernee Simons & Trent JR for Jimmy Butler Portland > 6ix: Moe, Biggie & Meyers! for The Klaw http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yb8s8uca Resulting Lineup/Depth Chart: PG: Dame SG: Butler SF: Leonard PF: Davis C: Nurkic Bench: Aminu, Se. Curry, Stauskas, Baldwin, Layman Need to rent to some cheap free agents from Ice Cube to fill-out the roster. Especially some big men as we are pretty thin up front after this trade but definitely boast a star-studded starting 5 as well as a versatile 6th man in Aminu. Kendrick Perkins anyone? Lol. It has been foreseen and cannot be unforeseen :) #ripcity

海岭:波特兰开拓者队将会错过季后赛，离西部第三的位置差了一个赛季。除了开拓者似乎还在原地打转(在失去纳皮尔和戴维斯之后，他们重新得到了努尔基奇和塞思·库里)，他们还看着西部其他球队——那些伤病问题严重得多的球队——逐渐好转。布吉签约的想法可能会给他们一个巨大的刺激，但考辛斯和努尔基奇的同一个经纪人扼杀了这一切发生的机会。这太糟糕了，因为感觉开拓者需要猛龙刚刚经历的那种重组。
