One of the league’s biggest stars in exchange for this holiday season, the Holiday Pelicans are leaving the club after seven years in New Orleans. Playing on the Louisiana state team, the defender was chosen for the first in 2018 and the symbolic second top five of the league’s best defending basketball players in 2019.
The 30-year-old basketball player came to New Orleans from the Philadelphia 76ers, who were represented at the All-Star Game for the only time in their career in 2013.
The defender, who averaged 19.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists for Milwaukee last season, will be very hopeful. The organization hopes that the acquisition of Holiday will improve the team’s playoff results and convince the league’s MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will become a free agent this season, to sign a new long-term contract with the Bucks club. .
These trades are likely to become a central change in the makeup of the Milwaukee Club this offseason. For the Holiday Bucks, he didn’t skimp in New Orleans to transfer players Eric Bledsoe and George Hill and even three favorites to future rookie stock exchanges.

Interestingly, Bledsoe, who is leaving for the Pelicans, can boast an identical evaluation, but a year later, of his defensive skills. Like Holiday, the basketball player leaving Milwaukee was chosen once for the first (2019) and once for the league’s top five defending players (2020).
The main reason for the decision to say goodbye to the player who has represented the Bucks for the past three seasons was his weak performance in the playoffs, which have become an annual tradition. This year, in the decisive battle stage, Bledsoe scored 11.7 points per game, but posted a catastrophic goal of the game by attacking 39, and from the three-point zone, just 25 percent. accuracy.
Along with Bledsoe and Hill, the Milwaukee Club, which sent three future invitations to Louisiana, had already promised to transfer their 2022 pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers before the trade. The Bucks will no longer be able to add any more free first-round shouts to the trade this season.
Still, J. Holiday’s upcoming arrival wasn’t the only news from the Milwaukee camp when the transfer window opened. Adrian Wojnarowski, an NBA transfer market specialist and ESPN journalist, has announced that Bogdan Bogdanovic, a Serb, will be moving to the Bucks from the Sacramento Kings.

The 28-year-old defender has played for the Sacramento team since 2017, last season he averaged 15.1 points per game, bounced 3.4 balls and had the same number of assists.
Along with B. Bogdanovičius, defender Justin James will move to Milwaukee, and the Bucks will transfer defender Donte DiVincenzo and forwards DJ Wilson and Ersan Ilyasov to the Sacramento Club.
The first trade was also made by the Rockets organization, which has crashed almost every day. After not only Russell Westbrook but also James Harden, who did so last night, publicly expressed their desire to leave the club, the Houston team decided to begin a roster change by saying goodbye to Robert Covington.
Covington, who joined the team in the four-team trade last year during which the Rockets said goodbye to Clint Capela, will now represent the Portland Trail Blazers. For the defense specialist, the Portland Club Rockeets handed over Trevor Ariz and the first round of rookies this year and next.
Arriving in Houston, Covington became the latest piece of a puzzle for Daryl Morey, president of basketball operations who has now left the organization. In order to give as much room as possible to leave Texas for Westbrook’s infractions, which was already struggling, the then-Rockets boss traded in the team’s only senior Capel, leading Houston to one of the five lowest games. of the NBA.
Covington Houston, who played just 22 regular-season games with the Rockets, will be replaced by Ariza, who represented the team in 2009-10 and 2014-18, and has also managed to play just 21 games at the Portland Club.

Ironically, just a few days ago, with criticism from former and current Texas club players in the US media, Ariza was one of the players quoted as saying that he had been insulted a couple of years ago for the Rockets’ disrespect on the loose. market.
