The Bucks are in flux, the dust has settled on the Thomas franchise, and Howard may be on his way out of the Lakers! Today, I'm going to delve into NBA developments. Here are some of the latest NBA news.
The trade curtain is drawn! Rockets veteran Kerry Thomas has reached an agreement with the Western Conference team, according to European media. Last year, the Rockets accidentally signed Thomas and became a big focus. In the last five games, Thomas contributed 16.4 points for the Rockets. He had blasted 27 points in a single game during his time with the Jazz and broke the scoring record five times. Thomas has all-around ability, scoring, assists and three-point shooting are very good. He also has an exceptionally aggressive defensive attitude. However, his annual salary last year was only 36 million dollars, the Rockets finally decided to let him go. Thomas is not bad, but has a bad reputation. The Rockets are in desperate need of newcomers this year, Thomas did not get too many opportunities.
Basketball 3-for-1 trade rumors surfaced as the basketball team auditioned with Clarkton and a first-round pick to get Bamba in a trade through the Magic. The U.S. media noted that the basketball team is ranked No. 1 in the East, but the interior strength still needs to be strengthened. Recently, Nash plans to elevate Aldridge to starting center, but Aldridge is 36 years old and at risk for heart disease, making it difficult to sustain a long-term fifth man position. Griffin's performance in the first half of the season has been up and down, with a three-point shooting rate of only 16.1% and an average of only 5.5 points per game.
Bamba is the No. 6 pick in 2018, 2.13 meters tall, averaging 10.8 points and 9.1 rebounds this season. If the basketball team can successfully trade for Bamba, Harden is expected to help him become the new "pie king". Bamba adapted to the trend of the times, this season developed a three-point shooting ability, averaging 1.4 three-pointers, hitting a high percentage of 33.4%.
Finally, Howard is leaving the Lakers. In an interview with GQ, Howard said he was leaving the Lakers. Howard is furious about this and believes the media has smeared his image. During his time with the Hawks, Howard was controversial for his arrest. He was named the Hornets' best teammate, but Howard, who was considered to be suffering from "cancer" in the deal, said he could contribute 17 rebounds if the Lakers gave him 20-25 minutes of playing time. However, the Lakers considered his $4 million salary too high. Howard gradually developed a three-point shooting ability, but the Lakers no longer seemed to need him. Under Vogel's tutelage, Howard's playing time was severely limited, he had a poor relationship with Davis, and the Lakers didn't seem to respect Howard. As a former All-Star, Howard wants to play on a team that needs him and respects him.
