The Spurs traded 3 for 1! The top center assists the No. 1 pick, book the team that will improve the fastest next season?

Compared with last season, next season, some teams will definitely fall from the altar, most of which are affected by injuries to core players. Like last year's championship Celtics, this year's playoffs lost his wife and his troops. Not only did he fail to defend his title, but he also injured his boss Tatum. He could not play next season. The Celtics' core lineup has also changed a lot, and he has basically left the ranks of the first-tier strong team. Like the Super Dark Horse Pacers, because the star of the main player was injured and Halliburton had torn Achilles tendon and had been confirmed to miss all competitions next season. The Pacers' highlight this year is likely to be just a flash in the pan. Of course, some teams are expected to rise super and their winning rate has increased significantly compared to last season, such as the 76ers. Although the 76ers team is generally not optimistic about winning the championship, neither Embiid nor George are the kind of players with a high ceiling.

But no matter how bad they are next year, they will definitely have a better future than this year! This season, the 76ers only scored 24 wins and 58 losses, and they were paddling throughout the whole process. With their lineup's book strength, they performed normally, and there was absolutely no problem in entering the playoffs. For example, the Mavericks, due to Doncic's departure, Irving's early reimbursement. As a team in last year's finals, the Mavericks' winning rate this season was less than 50%. In the new season, the Mavericks are likely to rise super. With Irving's return and joining forces with Dark Eyebrow, the dual-core strength itself is strong enough. In addition, their lineup is very deep, with most forward players. More importantly, Flag's arrival, and the three-no.com combination emerged. In addition to the 76ers and the Mavericks, there is another team that is expected to increase significantly next year, that is, the Spurs.

In fact, the Spurs are somewhat similar to the Thunder and Rockets in the past few years. As young teams, they have experienced a period of bad performance and reconstruction, and finally completed the bottom line, successfully entered the playoffs, and then to the championship. It is the Spurs' turn to start. Recently, the Spurs completed a 3-for-1 deal, and continued to improve their combat effectiveness by complying with each other's strengths and weaknesses. They sent away Malaki Blanham, Blake Wesley, and a 2026 second-round pick (from the Mavericks, 76ers and the Thunder with the one with the lowest pick), and won Kelly Olynick of the Wizards. Previously, Olynick was sent to the Wizards by the Pelicans (with the deal between CJ McCollum and Poole). When he arrived, the Wizards just chose his jersey number and was traded to the Spurs by the Wizards, but it was really miserable.

Last season, Olynick played for the Pelicans, averaging 10.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists per game, and a shooting percentage of 50%. As an inside player, he has certain outside shooting ability, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 38.9%. Previously, there was only one long man in the Spurs lineup, Wenban Yama, who was over 2.03 meters tall and had the ability to pull space. Olynick, who is 2.11 meters tall, can not only partner with Wenban Yama, but also form a frontcourt combination with Spurs new aid Connet (playing for the Celtics last season, reaching 2.18 meters tall), effectively expanding the team's offensive space.

For Wenban, he has a certain ability to shoot three-pointers. Last season, he averaged more than 3 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 35%. However, the Spurs hope that Wenban will participate more in the team's dynamic offense than fixed-point shooting. In this way, Olynick's tactical value will be highlighted - he can help the team maintain the "five foreign" formation, which is very important for the team's other two non-space young players, Castle and Harper (this year's second-tier pick).

Regarding Olynik, I believe many Cavaliers fans are deeply impressed by him. In the 15th playoffs, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics in the first round of G4 and swept their opponents 4-0, but their inside core Kevin Love was injured when he was plucked by Olynik while fighting for rebounds, and was eventually reimbursed for the season. Although the Cavaliers, who had James and Irving, made it to the finals, lost 2-4 to the Warriors and missed the first championship in the team history. If Love was not injured at the beginning, the Warriors might not have had the chance to create a dynasty. Olynick has always had a lot of small moves. He has been pushing and pulling all kinds of tricks when playing against each other. He can be called a master of Jiu-jitsu in the basketball world. In the eyes of his opponents, Olynick is an evil person. His "evil man" attribute may be of great help to the Spurs' impact record. There is no doubt that the Spurs will be rushing to enter the playoffs next season.

In this 3-for-1 deal, the Spurs sent away their first-round picks Branham and Wesley, who were selected in 22 years. In fact, there is no regret. After all, the team has too many young players and always has to sacrifice a few. Last season, Bruno and Westbrook's playing time was also declining, gradually falling out of the rotation lineup, losing the value of training, and sending them to other teams is also a win-win situation. In addition, if Olynick can really make great contributions to the Spurs, their other inside player, Sohan, may also be squeezed out their playing time, and Sohan will also come to the last year of his rookie contract next season.

In summary, this Spurs' deal is still very meaningful, taking into account both the present and the future. Don't forget that there is an All-Star in their roster - Fox. If Wenban stays healthy, Fox can maintain the level of the All-Star guard, and this Spurs has great hope of rushing to the playoffs. Last season, their record was only 34 wins and 48 losses, with a winning rate of 41.5%. Will the winning rate exceed 50% next season?
