NBA trading trends: Whereabouts of Horford, Melton, Collins and Bill

Horford joins the Warriors

Recently, rumors about Horford's trading have heated up again. It is reported that the experienced inside player has made a verbal promise to join the Golden State Warriors. It is reported that Horford's franchise will be signed with a one-year middle-class special contract. The reason why the Warriors are interested in Horford is because their requirement for the center is to have a certain three-point shooting ability, and Horford just can meet this requirement.

Horford's influence

Horford's joining will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the Warriors' tactical layout. His outside shooting ability will provide more choices for the team's offensive end, and at the same time, it can open up the opponent's defense and create better scoring opportunities for teammates. In addition, Horford's experience and leadership will also play a good role in driving young players and help them grow faster.

Melton joins the Lakers

In addition to Horford, another player who has attracted much attention is Melton. The young defender performed very well last season. His defensive ability has been widely recognized and is considered one of the most promising defensive players in the league. Recently, it was reported that Melton had reached an intention to join the Los Angeles Lakers, and his contract is likely to be the minimum salary of the veteran.

Melton's value

The reason why Melton was able to win the favor of the Lakers is that in addition to his defensive ability, there is another very important point, that is, his contract value. It is reported that Melton's defensive value is as high as $20 million, while the offensive value is only $10 million, which means that his actual contract value will be affected by injuries to a certain extent, and he may only be able to get a contract with a veteran's basic salary in the end.

Collins failed to trade successfully

In addition to Horford and Melton, there is another player's trading dynamics that have attracted much attention, that is, Collins. The forward player from the Utah Jazz did not perform well last season, and his contract amount was relatively high, which also added a certain difficulty to his trading path.

Corlins' destination

It is reported that the Jazz have been trying to send Corinth away. They hope to free up their contract space through a transaction to facilitate the introduction of other players, but they have not found a suitable trading partner, which means that Corinth is likely to stay in the team, and the Jazz may consider solving Corinth's problem through a buyout.

Bill is close to buying out

Let's take a look at Bill. This shooting guard player from the Phoenix Suns performed very well last season. He averaged 20+ points per game, and his shooting percentage was also very high. He is a veritable scoring machine.

Bill's Future

Recently, it was reported that Bill is close to reaching a buyout agreement with the Suns, and his future next home has attracted much attention. The Clippers, Bucks, Warriors and Lakers have all expressed strong interest in Bill. Among them, the Clippers are considered to be the team that Bill is most likely to be next. If the Clippers can successfully sign Bill, their competitiveness will be greatly improved and a stronger starting lineup will be formed.
