Change will lead to generalization, and generalization will last. This wise saying also applies on the NBA stage. Signings, as an important means that can change a team's record, have always been favored by every team. From Paul's joining, the Suns were reborn, and then Holiday's joining helped the Bucks win the O'Brien Trophy for the first time in 50 years.

A good signing is a catalyst for the team, which can help the team rise to the top and become the favorite to win the championship. The same good deal can also make players feel like a fish in water, reborn, and rekindle the fire in their hearts.

Today, let’s take a look at the six stars who are enjoying themselves this season.

Sixth place: Inside giant Drummond

Drummond was selected by the Pistons with the ninth overall pick in the first round of 2012. As a giant inside player, Drummond was once a giant at the basket in his peak period. Especially his sensitivity to rebounds made Drummond once the little prince of rebounds.

In the 2020-21 season, Drummond bought out the Cavaliers and joined the Lakers. However, Zhuang Shen, whose condition was declining, was once again extremely sluggish on both offense and defense. The Lakers' dreamy interior twin-tower combination did not show any deterrent power.

In the first round of the playoffs against the Suns, Drummond was useless for a time. He was completely beaten by the young Ayton and completely lost the dominance of the giant tower inside and the rebounding that he was proud of. The ball was also completely restricted by the Suns, and Drummond was completely lost, which also caused the defending champion Lakers to lose in the first round of the playoffs and return home in defeat.

At the end of the season, Drummond was once reduced from a top-paid star to a minimum-paid veteran. In desperation, he could only sign with the 76ers with a minimum salary of 2.4 million.

In the new season, Drummond became Embiid's substitute, but he did not have many outstanding performances. He could only become a blue-collar player, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, earning with the minimum salary.

However, everything has taken a new turn again. In the middle of the season, the Nets and the 76ers reached a buzzer-beating deal, and Zhuang Shen was packaged and sent to the Nets. For a team lacking inside players. Zhuang Shen's arrival will be a spring after rain for the Nets, and Zhuang Shen also seized the opportunity to start and once again performed at his peak with the Nets.

Zhuang Shen’s thick body and keen rebounding awareness gave Zhuang Shen a second spring in the Nets. He scored double-doubles one after another, not only helping the team end the losing streak, but also led the team for a time. The team came out of the trough. After Zhuang Shen came to the Nets, he averaged 12 points and 9 rebounds per game. For a top-paid veteran, it can be said that new vitality has burst out again.

It is reported that Zhuang Shen, who is in good form again, is expected to sign a 5-year, 40 million contract with the team at the end of the season. Regardless of whether the Nets will keep Zhuang Shen, Zhuang Shen has once again played at the top level with the Nets. The value of the insider will be an indisputable fact.

Fifth place: Dinwiddie bottomed out

Dinwiddie was selected by the Pistons with the 38th overall pick in the second round of 2014. As a legend of low-pick counterattacks, Dinwiddie became famous in the Nets. In the 2019-20 season, Durant and Irving were injured one after another. The young Dinwiddie once became the team's biggest asset, and Bing led the team into the playoffs. On the stage of the game, Dinwiddie became famous for a time.

However, bad luck always comes unexpectedly. Last season, the Nets formed the Big Three, but Dinwiddie only played three games. He was reimbursed for the season due to a torn cruciate ligament, which also put the Nets' dream of winning a championship at risk. broken.

During the offseason, Dinwiddie once asked for a maximum salary. The Nets were forced by the luxury tax and the two parties parted ways. Dinwiddie signed with the Wizards. With the Wizards, Dinwiddie was tepid with Bill. He didn't have many outstanding performances, he was just a starting point guard.

However, before the trade deadline, the Wizards traded with the Mavericks, and Dinwiddie became a victim again and was sent to the Mavericks.

After coming to the Mavericks, Dinwiddie also ushered in a new turn. Not only did he score a season-high 36 points in the game against the Kings, but against his old home team the Nets, Dinwiddie broke out in the crucial fourth quarter. , and finally hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to help the team reverse the victory.

Dinwiddie came to Dallas with a new lease of life and became Doncic's best helper. Dinwiddie's arrival also made the Mavericks' record continue to improve, from the edge of the Western Conference playoffs. Once promoted to fourth place in the Western Conference, it is even expected to surpass the Warriors.

The acquisition of Dinwiddie not only brought the competitive state back to the 2019-20 season, but also helped the team win consecutively, which to a certain extent shared the pressure on Doncic. Regain new life from injury, complete transformation and sublimation.

Fourth place: Kuzma, who is back at his peak

Kuzma was selected by the Jazz with the 27th overall pick in the first round of 2017. As a championship-winning member of the Lakers, Kuzma once played at his peak. However, after winning the championship, Kuzma was in a sluggish state. He performed poorly last season and frequently struggled in the playoffs, becoming a burden to the team.

In the new season, the Lakers sent him away in exchange for Westbrook. With the Wizards, Kuzma once again regained his peak form. He also played smoothly with the Wizards and once became the Wizards' successor to Bill. The most critical scoring point.

Helping the Wizards reverse their defeat at critical moments several times in a row also made Kuzma famous. This young power forward was once forgotten and went to the Wizards, which instead brought this declining power forward back to the top.

This season, Kuzma averaged 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. The 17.1 points per game is a new scoring high in the past three years. Kuzma, who returned from the bench to the starting lineup, is also full of firepower.

After Bill was reimbursed for the season, Kuzma once led the team to victory, showing his super leadership ability. Although the Wizards have lost their playoff qualification due to the gap in the team's lineup, Kuzma's amazing performance is still fresh in the memory.

For Kuzma, who holds the championship trophy, there is no burden on his heart. Moreover, as a team with no championship ambitions, the Wizards are extremely suitable for Kuzma's performance and are even expected to become a team. An all-star player.

Third place: Championship point guard Lowry

Lowry was selected by the Grizzlies with the 24th overall pick in the first round of 2006. He has played for many teams such as the Grizzlies, Rockets, and Raptors. As a small cannon, Lowry gradually became famous in the Rockets and became an All-Star guard in the Raptors.

Lowry is physically strong, defensively strong, and good at both offense and defense. He led the team to win the NBA championship in the 2018-19 season, which not only brought the Raptors the first championship in team history, but also the first championship in Lowry's career. The first championship trophy.

In the 2019-20 season, Leonard, Green and other championship members left one after another. Lowry was distraught and had the idea of ????leaving, but in the end no deal was reached.

In the 2021-22 season, the Heat immediately completed the deal with Lowry after the trading market opened on suspicion of illegal operations. As a championship team, the Heat have extraordinary strength!

Especially tough defense has always been the guarantee for the Heat's survival. The Heat's technical characteristics completely coincide with Lowry's. Lowry has also been known for his defense throughout his career. The integration without any sense of violation made Lowry feel like a fish in water and adapted well to the Heat's tactical system.

And helped the Heat regain the top spot in the Eastern Conference this season, showing super strength. Lowry injected huge energy into the Heat and became the key to the team becoming the favorite to win the championship.

Second place: Harden, the all-around god of war who is chasing his dreams

Harden was selected by the Thunder with the third overall pick in the first round of 2009. As the former best sixth man, Harden Deng had a wonderful experience during his time with the Thunder. The Thunder's third youngster once made it all the way to the finals in the 2011-12 season. Facing the same Big Three, the Heat, the young Thunder's third youngster ultimately lost to the Heat. Ha. Deng also ended his journey to the finals for the only time in his career.

After that, Harden moved to the Rockets and successfully transformed from the best sixth man to a top superstar. He won all the honors in Harden's career with the Rockets, but he still failed to lead the Rockets to break through. The finals stage became Harden's only regret in his career.

In the 2020-21 season, a frustrated Harden left his old club, the Rockets, and teamed up with Durant and Irving to form the Nets' Big Three. Harden also sprinted for the first championship in his career, but the three In the first season of the giants' combination, they were hit by injuries and eventually lost to the Bucks. The first season of the three giants' combination failed.

In the new season, due to New York's prevention and control rules, Irving was unable to play, and the combination of the Nets' Big Three was postponed again, but it relied on the super abilities of Durant and Harden.

The Nets are firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference and have not suffered any impact. Harden was troubled by injuries and his condition fluctuated slightly. He gradually lost his previous super scoring ability and his dominance on the court continued to decline.

This season Harden averaged 22.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 10 assists per game. His data has declined seriously. However, after being traded to the 76ers, Harden once broke out. Although the team has Embiid, Harden There hasn't been much improvement in scoring, but the containment and lethality are constantly upgrading. In the 16 games played by the 76ers, they won 11 of them. Harden's super team leadership ability and coercive power are still there. Put Harden in the top tier of superstars.

It is reported that Harden can sign a super contract with the 76ers at the end of the season. Although there are endless rumors about Harden, with Harden’s super team leadership ability, in addition With the 76ers' renewed personal ability, Harden is definitely worthy of a five-year, 270 million-dollar contract. In this way, Harden will also become the first man in the NBA with an annual salary of 60 million.

As a superstar, Harden’s personal abilities are understandable. However, Harden was once lost in the Nets this season. Fortunately, after coming to the 76ers, Harden recovered and regained his peak form. I believe As the game continues to deepen, the cooperation between Harden and the 76ers will get better and better, and Harden will work hard and strive for the first championship trophy in his career.

First place: DeRozan reborn from the ashes

DeRozan was selected by the Raptors with the ninth overall pick in the first round of 2009. As the guard with the most stunning feet, DeRozan once led the Raptors to the top spot in the Eastern Conference for many years. DeRozan was also a starter in the Eastern Conference All-Stars. However, the Raptors were disheartened after failing to make the playoffs many times.

In the 2018-19 season, DeRozan and Leonard swapped clubs. DeRozan started the Spurs era. However, DeRozan gradually lost his All-Star performance in the Spurs, and with age, DeRozan With the growth, DeRozan once lost his outside deterrence, the Spurs' record also continued to decline, and the relationship between DeRozan and the Spurs gradually came to an end.

In the 2021-22 season, DeRozan once expressed his love for the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Lakers finally chose triple-double king Westbrook, and DeRozan went to Chicago to start a new journey.

DeRozan in Chicago actually activated his potential. Not only did his competitive state return to its peak, it was even higher than at any stage in his career, becoming a top star.

And with DeRozan's super personal leadership ability, Chicago, which had been dusted for a long time, regained its glory. And was promoted from a poor team in the Eastern Conference to a super team in the Eastern Conference.

This season, DeRozan averaged 28 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game. The 28 points per game average is also a career high for DeRozan. After 4 years, he was once again selected into the All-Star starting lineup.

DeRozan was completely activated when he came to Chicago. The 32-year-old DeRozan is becoming more and more demonic as he gets older. His incomprehensible mid-to-long range has become DeRozan's secret weapon to kill people.

This season, during the Bulls' 9-game winning streak, DeRozan completed back-to-back three-pointers at the buzzer. Such a miracle has never been done by even the God of Basketball, becoming the first in Bulls history. one person!

Although the Bulls have suffered a series of blows and ups and downs recently, as the absolute leader of the Bulls, DeRozan still continues to output and once again performed amazingly, even becoming the Bulls' next to the basketball god Jordan. The most powerful super leader.

The Bulls’ dark horse journey continues. Whether DeRozan can lead Chicago to the finals is worth looking forward to. As the Bulls’ absolute leader, DeRozan will also become the Bulls’ ceiling. We look forward to DeRozan’s success. Luo Zan led the Bulls to soar into the sky and regain their past glory.
