As the schedule progresses, the NBA preseason officially wraps up, with only 3 days left before the regular season kicks off. In the preseason, all the new faces of the teams also debuted one by one. The team's new faces have all been unveiled in the preseason. There are many high-profile stars among them, and Ben Simmons, who joined the Nets last season but did not play a single game, is one of them. Ben Simmons was sent to the Nets in a package by the Erse in a trade involving Harden last season but did not play a single game for the Nets due to a back injury and mental health reasons. In the preseason, Ben Simmons made his first appearance as a Bucks player, and as a former first-rounder plus All-Star, Simmons' performance today has given fans a piece of mind.

In one of the preseason games between the Bucks and the Bucks, Ben Simmons' performance has added to everyone's expectations for the Bucks' future this season. In this game, although Simmons did not contribute much on the offensive end, with only 7 points, he successfully limited the opponent's play in the match-up with the Bucks star, Alphabet, and eventually helped the team to take this morale-boosting game. You know, Alphonse is known as the first person in the league today ready to play, and Simmons in the defensive end of the excellent performance almost locked up Alphonse, who scored 24 points and 14 rebounds, but most of the points came from free throws. It is worth mentioning that Simmons also delivered ten assists and grabbed eight rebounds, combined with his huge impact on the defensive end, his defense and tandem ability can undoubtedly alleviate the huge pressure on Irving and Durant. And after the return of Joe Ha and other shooting groups, Simmons' value can only be maximized.

Now the regular season is about to begin, with Durant, Irving, and Simmons to ensure the basic plate, the replacement lineup strength, the Nets finally how far they can go depends on these two points: head coach Nash's ability to lead the team, the health of the giants. Among them, the health of the Big Three is the most critical, and the key to solving this problem is to give them more time to rest, especially in Durant at this point. Recently, the U.S. media broke the news that the Nets are brewing a deal involving three teams, which, in addition to the Nets, also involves two other teams, the Wizards and Jazz. The potential scenarios for this trade are: Curry Jr, Thomas, and Vernon Carey going to the Jazz, Guzman being traded to the Nets, and Clarkson and Salon Sharpe joining the Wizards. So what would be the impact of this deal if it is reached?

Last season, Guzman was able to average 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists during his time with the Wizards. After leaving the Lakers, Guzman was entrusted with heavy responsibilities in the absence of eight-inch bases, and he was efficient on ball-handling breakdowns and back-to-back singles, and as an all-around versatile power forward, he was able to provide instant power for some playoff teams. The Bucks, with their big three, need a wing who can run without the ball and can cut and defend to enrich the team's game, and as an all-around skilled power forward who doesn't take up the ball, Guzman is a great fit for the Bucks' playbook today. The Wizards are not unhappy with Guzman, but after the Wizards hit the playoffs, they also plan to rebuild the impact of the 2023 draft year, in full swing to boast a high draft pick, so the team also took this to free up enough salary and growth space to train newcomers, and Guzman also hope that in the next career can once again impact the championship, and Guzman playing next to Durant, Irving, his The job is much easier and more able to play his strong points.

For the Wizards, Clarkson is a guard player with excellent offensive ability, rich offensive tools that are not easy to be limited, and in good hands can even be the player who decides the trend of the game. Clarkson once partnered with Mitchell to form the Jazz's back court double, helping the team break into the playoffs several times, if the Wizards trade properly, Clarkson can be completely exchanged for a first-round pick, and Dillon Sharp played well in the preseason, eating pie finishes, rim protection, steals are doing very well, his positioning is clear, worth the Wizards to train.

For the Jazz, the playoff results in recent years have not been able to further breakthrough, and now the team management has lost patience with this lineup, sent away Mitchell and Robert in the off-season, and completely rotten reconstruction. Clarkson in the team has sent away the core determination to rebuild the situation, the situation is more or less awkward, plus he has turned 30 years old, and the jazz keeps his hope is not too big. And Curry Jr. is a rare 3-point shooter, the Jazz can also use him in exchange for some young players and future draft picks. And Thomas, Vernon Carey is a good qualification for young people, just in the new season when the rebuild focuses on training.
