At present, except for the Warriors, other teams in the league are likely to not make large-scale signings. After all, they have basically completed their operations and the team has not much salary space. On the other hand, the Warriors have only 9 people on their roster now, and the team has at least 14 people to start the new season. The next thing is to see Dunleavy's operation. Having said that, let’s take a look at the five most successful offseason transactions.

The fifth Nuggets traded with Valan

In this offseason, the Western Conference teams hoarded the inside, the Clippers got Collins and Daluo, and the Rockets won Capela and Durant. They were all for the Thunder, and they were also for the advantage of other teams. Although the Nuggets have the league's number one player, Jokic, who has an advantage against any inside, the biggest problem is that the current league is playing by lineup rotation, and Jokic cannot withstand such consumption.

So the Nuggets thought of a way to strengthen them. They sent Sharic to exchange for Valan, which was simply too profitable. Valan was a starting center, and the Nuggets just sent Sharic to a garbage contract. And the more important thing is that Valan can play a substitute for Jokic. After the transaction was completed, Valan still didn't want to come, but in the end Jokic called him personally, which moved Valan very much and finally chose to join.

The fourth Magic trade got Bain

The Magic fired the first shot of the big deal this offseason. It turns out that after the playoffs, the Magic had the goal of signing. They exposed the team's lack of space ability in the playoffs. At the same time, Pope's performance was very premium. After winning the big contract, Pope seemed to be unable to work hard. In this case, the Magic also wanted to throw his junk contract. The team originally had enough draft picks, so they were not afraid of squandering.

The team sent Pope, Cole Anthony and 4 first-round picks, 1 protected and first-round pick. The deal was given to the Grizzlies. Although they gave away many first-round picks, it was mainly because they sent away two garbage contracts. In exchange for Bain, it can be said that the Magic solved the problem of their insufficient space ability. His shooter is much better than Pope, and Bain also has the ability to take the ball offensive and processor, which can help the Magic. The third Nuggets trade was Cameron Johnson,

The Nuggets chose to sack Malone and the team GM last season, which was definitely wise. Now the team has no internal disputes. The new GM Tanzel was questioned at the beginning of youth, but they relied on their outstanding performance to prove their abilities. After his operation in the offseason, the team not only reduced their expenses, but also strengthened the lineup, allowing the team to compete for the championship. Porter Jr.'s deal is the most critical.

The team sent Porter Jr. and a first-round pick to exchange Cameron Johnson from the Nets. Porter Jr. has a scorer with an annual salary of 38 million yuan, and Cameron Johnson has more than 20 million yuan. The salary gap is too big. Moreover, Cameron Johnson has better defense and more reliable ability to fight tough battles. In addition to playing against the Lakers, Porter Jr. can play a salary that suits his value, and most of the time is a premium. Cameron Johnson's arrival undoubtedly has greatly improved the Nuggets' offense and defense.

The Heat traded Powell

The Heat team is famous for being stingy. Riley's principle now is that I can't make money, but I can't lose money. If I want to trade Durant, even Jovic is unwilling to make money, and Weil is unwilling to make money. Under such circumstances, Durant was unable to get it, but they still gained something based on this principle. In the previous transaction between the Clippers and the Jazz, they took Powell from it and strengthened the team's wings.

The details of this tripartite transaction at that time were: the Clippers got Collins, the Heat got Powell, the Jazz got Love, Li Keel and a second round pick from the Clippers. The Heat were equivalent to sending away the contracts they wanted to scatter, and in exchange for a starting point guard who averaged 20+ per game. This was too profitable. The Jazz bought out after getting Love. It is estimated that there may be no ball to play in the new season. The Heat who got Powell is obviously stronger.

The Rockets got the first trade in Durant

. There are probably no fans who have any questions about this deal. After all, Durant is still in the top ten in the league. As a result, the Rockets used a chip that the Suns thought was cheap and exchanged for him. There is no way to do this. The Rockets and Durant have been in love for a long time. Although the Timberwolves gave a very attractive offer, Durant did not go, which made the Suns have no choice but to agree to the Rockets' deal in the end.

They gave Jaylen Green, Dillon, 5 second round picks and the first round No. 10 pick in 25 years and got Durant. Although Jaylen Green and Dillon are both good blue-collar puzzles, the Rockets have paid too few draft picks, and the Suns are also very frustrated. Their lineup is probably not going far in the new season and may have been playing badly for many years. After the Rockets got Durant, they are probably going to win the championship.
