As the labor and capital reached an agreement and the suspension ended, the league teams also began to work hard. The first thing they had to do was to sign a plan.

The most eye-catching thing here is naturally Wu Feng turned to the Atlanta Hawks.

In his first season of his career, Wu Feng delivered a shining answer. Not only did he have excellent personal data, but he also helped the Magic to ascend the championship for the first time since joining the league.

Therefore, which team Wu Feng plays for the new season has become the focus of everyone's attention.

In the end, the Eagles took the risk and successfully introduced Wu Feng at all costs, ending the farce.

However, in addition to Wu Feng, there are many other stars who are paying attention to the whereabouts of the new season, and the "Queen Bee" Chris Paul is the first to be affected.

It is no secret that Paul wants to leave New Orleans. As early as two years ago, he wanted to go to a team with hope of winning the championship.

And this year, Paul was determined to leave the Hornets. The Hornets naturally wanted to trade it out without success in retaining Paul.

So, after the end of last season, rumors about Chris Paul trades were flying all over the world.

On December 9, Beijing time, the US media exposed a shocking deal about Chris Paul. The Los Angeles Lakers will exchange Paul Gasol and Lamar Odom for Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. Many authorities said that the deal was completed and was only about to be announced.

But just a few hours later, the situation turned 180 degrees. The transaction was forcibly stopped by the league and it is likely that it would be still in the womb.

The first person to leak the news was still the Yahoo NBA expert Wonarrowski. He updated on Twitter: Under pressure from other NBA team owners, David Stern stopped the transaction to send Paul to the Lakers! As soon as the news came out, it was quickly confirmed by other authoritative media. ESPN immediately reported that the transaction between the Lakers and the Hornets was stranded, and Paul may find it difficult to join the Lakers. Another person citing senior officials who participated in the transaction negotiations said: "This transaction is impossible, now it seems to be ruined!"

The two teams that originally traded had reached an agreement, but the transaction broke down at such a fast time, but in fact it was a reason. The Hornets are now in the league custody state and have the right to veto the team. According to media reports, after learning that Paul was going to the Lakers, the bosses of many other NBA teams could no longer sit still, and they "forced" Stern together and asked him to stop such a deal.

After the transaction was stopped, the official explanation from the league was that this decision was made for "basketball reasons".

In fact, a large part of the reason for the suspension of the NBA this year is that some small club owners are not satisfied with the current phenomenon of stars gathering together and running towards big cities. The new labor-management agreement has also greatly restricted super teams like the Lakers to monopolize the stars.

But as soon as the new agreement was reached, the Lakers immediately made such a vote, pulled Paul over, and it was possible to get Dwight Howard. The bosses of other teams must be envious and jealous. If the Lakers become such a big three, other teams will not have to play.

Against this backdrop, many bosses made a quick decision and "forced the palace" of Stern to stop the Hornets' deal.

In short, it is really difficult for the Lakers to steal Paul from the Hornets, a team hosted by the league, and Stern is under a lot of pressure.

However, the day after Wu Feng joined the Atlanta Hawks, Chris Paul's belonging to the new season was finally revealed.

On December 15, Beijing time, Chris Paul's trade was finally successful and joined the Clippers. The NBA then officially confirmed that the Hornets and Clippers' transaction was completed.

The Hornets received forward Amino, defender Eric Gordon, center Chris Carman and an unprotected first-round draft pick from the Timberwolves; the Clippers received Chris Paul and two second-round draft picks from the Hornets.

"When sending out stars of Paul's level, we want to ensure the best possible trade chips. We feel very good about the gains we have now," said Jack Sbury, chairman of the Hornets. "We feel that the future of the team is very bright now. We look forward to continuing to create a roster that will make the team feel proud. We thank Chris Paul, who is an outstanding player and has made great contributions to our team and we wish him good luck forever."

Among the players involved in this exchange, Chris Paul is naturally the biggest one. He was selected into the NBA with the fourth pick in 2005, joined the Hornets, and grew into the league's top point guard. He was elected Rookie of the Year in 2006, was selected as the All-Star four times, led the US team to the Olympic gold medal, and set several NBA records. In 2010, he recovered from a knee injury and still averaged steals per game and became the steal king of that year.

Last season, Paul played 80 times for the Hornets, averaging assists and steals per game. In his six-year career with the Hornets, Paul averaged assists and steals per game.

Gordon is the best performer of the three players the Hornets got. He averaged points last season and was the Clippers' No. 1 scorer, and he averaged rebounds and assists per game. The three-year career statistics are assists.

Kaman was selected as an All-Star in 2010. He averaged rebounds last season, and his career was points and rebounds.

Like Wu Feng, Aminu is both rookies from last year. She just finished her rookie season and Aminu can average points and rebounds per game.

This deal naturally caused an uproar, and its influence was not inferior to Wu Feng's transfer. After all, Chris Paul is one of the strongest players among the active organizational defenders.

The Clippers, who got Chris Paul, became a powerful team in the Western Conference playoffs. They already had the monster Blake Griffin, and now they got Chris Paul again. Many people are optimistic about the Clippers' performance in the new season.

In fact, the Clippers were also one of the teams competing for Wu Feng before. However, because the Hawks were too cruel, they withdrew.

It cannot be said that they settled for the second best deal with the Hornets to get Chris Paul, but because the owner of the Clippers, Donald, is the well-known "Grande". He knew that if he wanted to get Chris Paul, he had to pay a lot of money, so he wanted to get Wu Feng.

But the Eagles' cruelty directly shocked Donald Sterling, especially the three-year, 35.4 million contract they offered Wu Feng. Old Donald would not give Wu Feng such a big contract, a little guy who just had just the second year of his career, even though he was so dazzling last season.

Therefore, the Clippers decided to trade for Paul.

After being a bottom team for so many years, the Clippers finally wanted to spend a lot of money to win the championship. So the Clippers with Blake Griffin traded Chris Paul to build an empty-handed city.

In addition to trading Chris Paul, the Clippers had several quite a few signing moves a few days ago.

On December 10, the Clippers officially signed small forward Caron Butler. The only small forward defect in the team's position was also supplemented by the arrival of this strongman, and the last team puzzle of the new season was found.

In addition to Caron Butler, the Clippers also officially signed two rookies, Trae Tompkins and Travis Leisl. When the player market officially opened, the Clippers used such an important signing to strengthen the lineup of the new season.

In order to free up enough playing time for Caron Butler's arrival, the Clippers gave up the right to sign Ekdiogu, Jamario Moon and Clegg Smith.

In the current lineup of the Clippers, players who can play in the small forward position suddenly became very few because they did not sign these three people.

Obviously, the Clippers gave up these three players in order to focus on putting Caron Butler on the third position in the new season to support their crumbling small forward position. The current Clippers' lineup are still able to play small forwards, and these two players will become Caron Butler's main substitutes.

With the addition of Caron Butler, he has also become the oldest on the Clippers' current lineup. Although the 31-year-old veteran is no longer at his peak when he was selected for the All-Star Game in 2007 and 2008, he still has excellent offensive abilities.

Three days after signing Caron Butler, the Los Angeles Clippers won Chauncey Billups through bidding.

In a tripartite deal with the Wizards and the Mavericks, the Knicks got the long-awaited center Tyson Chandler. In order to clear the salary space, the Knicks had to send Ronituriaf to the Wizards and Andy Lawtings to the Mavericks. More importantly, they also used the amnesty clause to lay off veteran Chauncey Billups.

After Chauncey Billups was cut by the Knicks, many teams hoped to get the old point guard, but the "Flounder" said that if he joined a team that he was not satisfied with, he would rather choose to retire, and his goal was to be able to control his own destiny.

The Clippers finally had the last laugh, and they won Chauncey Billups through bidding. To be continued...
