This offseason, the Raptors keep moving.

First, after the draft, they decisively exchanged for Chris Middleton and Will Barton, and signed Dragic for 36 million in four years.

However, their reinforcement is not over yet.

The third person to leave was Tony Allen.

No one expected that the strongest defensive back in the East would be traded.

The Raptors' two champions were traded to the Pacers this summer.

They got a player that was enough to get a mass discussion.

This person is considered to be the enemy of the Clippers, Grizzlies, and Thunder Lights. It is precisely because he beat Li Xing in the NCAA Finals three years ago that so many things happened later.

His name is Dante Terminator, and he is Taylor Hansblu.

Hansblu has not made as rapid progress as Pacers have expected in the past three years.

His progress is slow, and his room for growth is getting smaller and smaller.

Pacers wanted to build a steel army with iron walls, so the deal went with the trend.

The Raptors have had enough of the starting trio with two defenders plus a small forward, with an average height of less than 194 cm.

They won't let DeRozan play the small forward position he doesn't like anymore.

Once this deal is reached, it means that DeRozan will return to the second position in the new season, and the Raptors will have one of them to start in the new season with two second-round picks this summer.

Some people also say that they may get Barnes to start.

However, judging from their current situation, the Raptors are extremely optimistic about the subsequent development of Middleton and Patton, that is, they will vigorously cultivate these two young people.

The Raptors' operations are not over yet.

They first announced the execution of Whiteside's last two years of player options, and then changed hands to trade the talented young center to the West.

The Lakers got Whiteside.

They paid a 13-year second-round draft pick.

Hassan Whiteside left Toronto with two rings, and his life here was not going well.

Initially, Li Xing's expectations for him were to support the team's second team.

It's hard to say whether Whiteside did it, Snyder has never been satisfied with him.

He felt that Whiteside could do more than that.

He saw Whiteside's talent, and he felt helpless by the young man's practice of wasting his own talent.

After two seasons, Whiteside has not improved at all.

In this way, he was sent to the Lakers.

At this point, as the defending champion, the Raptors have finished their work in the offseason.

It can be said that they completed every task planned for the offseason.

Strengthening the team's No. 3 position is completed.

Introducing a better number one position, it's done.

Get rid of Whiteside and it's done.

The Raptors' series of actions have made people full of expectations for their prospects for winning the championship next season, while another team is doing a series of operations with drastic measures.

The Lakers feel more and more urgent.

Kobe is one year older, and they know very well that in recent years, the Lakers' last chance to win the championship.

If they cannot build a championship-winning team before Kobe becomes completely old, they will sink for a long time.

Then, the first shock alliance transaction took place.

The Lakers traded Paul Gasol for Monta Alice and Luke Richard Barmot from the Bucks.

The Lakers strengthened the backcourt and wing defense, and the Bucks got a peak-tail All-Star inside after Bogut's injury and stop.

It doesn't seem to be losing money.

This operation allowed the entire league to see the Lakers' goals clearly.

Their targets are directed at Howard.

Howard is no longer the signature player you want to build a team around him, but his credibility has dropped to zero.

The farce of "Trade Me - Leave Me" made the Magic team, which was built with him as the core, break the team for him and fired everyone who was suppressing him, but the result was that this team became worse than ever before.

Since Howard entered the league, the Magic have been trying various lineups around him, trying to find the right way, perhaps this way is to find four players who can shoot three-pointers, and Howard will dominate both offense and defense in the penalty area.

It was enough to reach the 2009 Finals and the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals, but since then, the team has adjusted the lineup again and again to please Howard, but it can only be a one-round tour.

They have not been able to break through the first round in the past few seasons.

This summer, the fickle Howard has a new idea.

Howard said he just wanted to go to one team - the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets hope to form the Big Three they dream of, or the Dream Team, or the Super Combination, or any popular name these days.

Rather than saying Howard likes the Nets, he likes Deron.

Deron likes pick-and-roll offense, and he has the second strong pick-and-roll ability in the league. The two of them work together and will definitely complement each other.

This is Howard's idea.

He and Delong despise a drama "Where Are We Going" with him in the summer.

Some people say he had a talk with Deron, became a free agent together, and then went to a team that could accommodate them at the same time.

However, when Deron decided to stay with the Nets, Howard became a miserable child who was abandoned.

Originally he was a key player in the player market this summer, with many ideal teams taking him and Delon as the core of the adjustment plan, but in the past six months, Howard's series of puzzled "decisions" have thrown him off the normal track.

Now Howard finds that he can no longer control his destiny, and he has become a luxury product in this market that is priceless.

In the end, whether he goes to the Nets, the Lakers, or stays with the Magic, he must use 200% of his efforts to reshape his image in the new season.

As a "quasi-free agent" who has the right to choose his own destiny, Howard has made a series of "mistakes" over the past six months. He has destroyed the rules of the game in the player market. In the NBA world, those unwritten rules of the game will have to pay the price once they are destroyed.

"Breaking the word back" is the fatal mistake Howard made. When everyone thought he was determined to leave Orlando, Howard suddenly announced in mid-March that he had given up his free agent status and the contract was extended to 2013. When everyone thought he would stay, Howard asked for a trade again in June.

A hymn of loyalty seems so perfect under his interpretation.

When the deal was finalized, the biggest play in the free market came to an end.

Among the many competitors, the Lakers won.

Howard airborne the City of Angels, and no one knows what height they can reach.

In this growing competitive league, the Lakers have laid the cornerstone of the championship, and they also need to see the chemistry between Kobe and Howard.

Moreover, a contract renewal news that seemed less eye-catching was floating in the free market.

James Harden didn't want to be traded to the Rockets.

The Thunder added five million and eventually left him behind.

When Li Xing learned the news, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness.

He remembered that the three of them later separated and each achieved some achievements.

Because of his arrival, their fate changed.

"It's just forcing me to cause trouble."

Leave the Sea vaguely remembers that he said to Durant, "You must stay Harden."

It might have been a whim at that time. If he was given another chance, he would argue from ten aspects how cancerous Harden was.

It’s a pity that no matter how much you say now, it’s useless.

Harden stayed in Goose City as a foregone conclusion, and the third young master of Thunder did not separate.

Li Xing looked at the scenes during the offseason and felt so painful.

Although they have strengthened, other teams seem to have strengthened, especially the Thunder, who really left Harden.

Harden will be more mature next season. If these three players work together, which team in the West can resist?

Li Xing could not imagine that the three people with A's potential are in the same team, and they are all very young. It is really unimaginable what will develop into later.

"They may complement each other and may hurt each other."

Even the system doesn't know what they will become in the end.

Li Xing didn't know either.

He was scaring himself.

Other teams are strengthening, and the Raptors are also strengthening.

Their back line and wing were a big problem last season, and they were completely beaten by Durant, James and Anthony in the playoffs.
