February 23

As time entered the last 24 hours, the Cavaliers dropped the first blockbuster.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers sent: J.R. Smith, Shumpert, 2019 first-round pick (unprotected), 2021 first-round pick (unprotected), 2023 second-round pick, offer to Paul George."

"Paul George is not for sale to us, we will not sell it." Faced with the Cavaliers' idea of ​​making big news, the Pacers' general manager did not hesitate for a moment and directly chose to refuse.

"Should we offer Paul George?" Philadelphia is very clear about the Cavaliers' offer for Paul George.

"No, we can't shake the morale of the military." Although they have a lot of draft picks, the 76ers who have potential young people the Pacers need cannot provide them.

"I'm going to take a call and make a call." This is not a game, constantly filling cap space and flexible cash-out.

It will change the mood within the team

And he's going to do it now

"You will not leave the team today. The team will still count on your energy in the second half." Faced with Jermichael Green's phone inquiry, he gave half a yes.

"Sorry, Eisen, you have to go to Atlanta." Unlike Temple, who had already wanted to leave, Ilyasova has been working conscientiously as the substitute center.

"Thank you for your cooperation during this period, and thank you for not letting me know about this matter in the media." Ilyasova can accept the departure and leave with respect, and he has no reason to resent it.

"Two faxes of agreement from the alliance have arrived." After the phone call, the assistant to the general manager received a fax from the fax machine confirming the deal from the alliance.

"Call those two agents and tell them that they have been bought out and there is no need to come to Philadelphia to discuss." Splitter and Bogut, the "tool men" who fill the space, were already destined when they arrived.

Ilyasova → Atlanta Hawks

Tiago Splitter, Scott, two future second-round picks → Philadelphia 76ers

2018 second-round pick (Philadelphia 76ers, 56-60 protection) → Dallas Mavericks

Andrew Bogut + 2017 second-round pick (Dallas Mavericks, 31-36 protection) + 2018 second-round pick (unprotected) → Philadelphia 76ers

The salary increase of 14.51 million is still not enough for Philadelphia’s total salary.

Now they still have 20.609 million short of completing the target.

It's a pity that layoffs take time, and now they only have the option of 1 for 1.

"The news of the sale of Scott was released to the market." The 76ers, who have a bunch of power forwards, cannot keep another power forward.

In the last fifteen minutes before the gate closed, a piece of news came out

The Cleveland Cavaliers sent Dunleavy and Mo Williams in the 2019 first round (1-10 protection, protection successfully converted to 2021 and 2022 second-round picks) in exchange for Korver from the Atlanta Hawks

"Korver??? Griffin what are you doing? Don't we want a championship?" Paul George lowered his standard to Korver, and Cavaliers fans were angry.

After all, even they know

Irving and James can't get past the 76ers.

If it can't get past the 76ers, what should Cleveland do with the championship it hasn't won in decades?

Are we going to witness LeBron James’ escape again???

Countdown to 7 minutes

Minnesota Timberwolves receive: Mike Scott, partial cash.

Philadelphia 76ers: Brandon Rush

The news about the Philadelphia 76ers followed the news about the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Has Chris signed with a new team?" After completing the last exchange of expiring contracts, Travis Schlenk thought about the problem of the third center vacancy in the lineup.

"It's not signed, he's in the Development League." Chris Wood was in the Delaware 87ers, and the assistant general manager remembers it very clearly.

"Give him a contract until the end of the season." Boban and Baynes of the Pistons all had ideas about what they wanted, but in the end they didn't take action.

Because that would limit movement this summer...

"When I think of something, remember to remind me when the time comes."

"?"

"Buy me some March Madness tickets, I'm going on a field trip with the scouting team."

February 26, Philadelphia Training Center

"somebody is coming."

"It seems like it's Brandon Rush's car." Travis Schlenk made a lot of trades in two months, but in the end he only brought Brandon Rush, whose contract expired, to Philadelphia.

The rest were mostly laid off

"Chris, you have grown stronger." Unlike when he left last year, Chris Wood's body has become much stronger.

"Please." What is different from usual is that Yang came to the training hall today drinking coffee.

"No, no." Wood learned to control himself,

“Learning to control myself is a lot”

"Hello, Brandon." Looking at the gentle Brandon Rush, Yang understood why he wanted to get him.

because

He knows what good teams should do and what they shouldn't do.

Instead of rashly losing playing time

46,47,48,,49,50

"It's rare to practice three-pointers from the corner." McConnell, who arrived on time, teased.

"Tomorrow is really difficult. More practice is a must." Tomorrow's showdown cannot be done with 100 points of practice, not 150 points.

"Get out of the way." Young pushed McConnell gently with his right hand.

"Hit someone, hit someone!"

"I'll treat you to snacks for two hours. Get up and go change clothes." One dares to act and the other dares to cooperate. This is the relationship between the two.

"Let's start, practice shooting while running." After coaxing McConnell to the locker room, Young started the next exercise.

"Get quick shots from everywhere, let's get started." As a full-time trainer, he knew what Young was talking about.

…………

"Come to my place"

"Another cup of iced coffee??? You drank too much!!!" During lunch time, McConnell saw Young taking out another cup of iced coffee that he had just taken a few sips of.

"Occasionally, occasionally" Yang, who was holding roasted cauliflower and pasta, could only smile helplessly.

"By the way, let me tell you something, please listen." Twelve people were there, and Yang just happened to say a few words.

"It's best to go to bed early at night and don't go out too late to play."

"Tomorrow is important."

Yang would never object to playing with this matter, but playing too much at a critical moment is absolutely unfeasible.

February 27th was originally an ordinary regular season day, but today is anything but ordinary.

Philadelphia 76ers (46 wins and 12 losses) VS Golden State Warriors (49 wins and 9 losses)

The first team in the league and the second team in the league met today, and it was live broadcast across the United States.
