NBA最新震撼消息,灰狼把中前鋒Karl-Anthony Towns送到尼克,換來前鋒Julius Randle+後衛Donte DiVincenzo+一首輪。

我的第一直覺是:灰狼究竟想要幹什麼?送走Towns換來Randle,這樣對嗎?

第二直覺是:Rudy Gobert+Julius Randle,這是灰狼新球季內線兩大核心組合,這是夢幻還是噩夢!

這筆交易當然要加點趣味,總評一下,

1、尼克漂亮操作,近乎完美。

從操作、隊型、天賦、團隊,尼克這筆交易根本就是全壘打,換來七呎長人Towns,進攻有牽制力可以拉開空間,過去兩年Towns更清楚自己定位和角色,防守意識和團隊都有精進,而且Towns還是一名場均20分-12籃板等級長人,尼克賺爆。

這筆交易會紓解尼克後場人滿為患,位置重疊浪費天賦,這是妙筆。更重要是禁區高度提升,高位、擋拆戰術更豐富,甚至可以提升團隊防守強度,這是尼克陣容畫龍點睛絕佳操作。

尼克後場還有Jalen Brunson、Josh Hart、Mikal Bridges三名先發主力,替補後衛Miles McBride也能得到上場空間和角色,Cameron Payne打替補控球同樣有機會進入輪換,失去狀況正在上升Donte DiVincenzo固然可惜,但Karl-Anthony Towns值得尼克做這樣的操作。

2、灰狼自掘墳墓,不知所以然。

灰狼把全隊第二好,內線最重要成員,防守效率正在拉升,全隊第二得分手交易出去,這並不是什麼好主意,尤其是灰狼中鋒Rudy Gobert和Julius Randle的搭配會很夢幻還是噩夢,灰狼教練Chris Finch肯定頭很大。

對灰狼來說最好消息是Donte DiVincenzo能做為球隊主要外線和針對性防守主力,另外就是Julius Randle搭Naz Reid的鋒線組合看起來似乎還不錯,就看Randle願不願意犧牲球權,更多打無球在禁區硬扛硬闖,在籃板和防守端打出他的價值。

如果Julius Randle願意做更多苦工,拚更多籃板,扮演更稱職禁區角色球員,灰狼或許還有轉機。

3、Karl-Anthony Towns悲中帶喜。

從心情、心境和奪冠前景看,Karl-Anthony Towns被灰狼交易是喜是悲?

可能悲中帶喜,因為尼克很可能因為Towns變身成為一支爭冠級別球隊,Towns有機會證明他是尼克爭冠最重要一塊拼圖。

喜中有悲,離開效力九年灰狼,曾經被視為灰狼救世主和未來核心,現在卻要重定位和調整角色,說不感傷那是騙人的。

4、尼克可能起飛。

這筆交易會讓東區發生更多變化,尼克需要質變,需要長人和禁區牽制,甚至需要一個更穩定更有感染力第二、第三得分點,Jalen Brunson、Karl-Anthony Towns、Mikal Bridges將組成尼克新三巨頭,尼克爭冠實力和天賦,陣容完整都不會輸給塞爾蒂克、76人、公鹿。

尼克該謝謝灰狼,因為Karl-Anthony Towns就像天上掉下來的禮物,他會是尼克爭冠陣容最重要版塊。
