在今年交易截止日前的这个周末,一些重要交易将对未来几个赛季产生深远影响。独行侠令人震惊地通过三方交易将东契奇送至湖人,以换取戴维斯,而就在两天后,他们又达成了一笔从76人得到前锋凯莱布-马丁的交易。同时,福克斯加盟马刺,而扎克-拉文则被公牛交易到国王。此外,太阳依然在追逐热火球星巴特勒,并于一月份完成了两笔引人注目的引援。在从黄蜂获得中锋尼克-理查兹后,太阳还把2031年的首轮签交换给爵士,使得他们拥有三枚首轮选秀权。
ESPN记者Kevin Pelton对此次NBA主要交易进行了评分,并分析了所有涉及球队和球员所带来的影响。
交易详情:
- 独行侠得到:凯莱布-马丁
- 76人得到:昆汀-格莱姆斯、2025年76人的次轮签
费城76人 评分:A
This trade can be seen as a "remedial measure" for the 76ers after signing Caleb Martin to a four-year, $40 million deal last July. At that time, considering their limited salary cap space following Paul George's acquisition, it seemed like a smart move. I rated this signing an 'A' due to its creativity (including a $5 million unlikely-to-trigger incentive clause). However, seven months later, my confidence in this contract has waned.
Caleeb Martin is clearly not the reason behind the Sixers’ sub-.500 record this season; however, he also failed to become part of the solution. Despite shooting 38% from three-point range—above his career average of 36%—his overall scoring efficiency was below par with just a 47% field goal percentage on two-pointers—the lowest since his rookie year (36%). On defense too, Martin did not significantly impact team performance despite taking on tough defensive assignments and having one of the highest opponent usage rates at over 23%. The team's recent four-game winning streak occurred while he was sidelined with a hip injury and undrafted rookie Justin Edwards excelled in his absence.
The contrast lies in Quentin Grimes’s superior performance this season—with impressive stats including hitting up to 40% from beyond arc and maintaining a two-pointer success rate at54%. His arrival could lessen Philadelphia’s dependency on veterans Eric Gordon (36) and Kyle Lowry (who turns39 next month), both main options for coach Nick Nurse at shooting guard since their rookie seasons.
