Danny Granger, Jordan Hamilton and two more players picked in the first round draft are moving from Florida to Arizona.
Without LeBron, Miami remains far from the top
The Miami team, struggling to enter the play-off, has played in the finals of the NBA League the last four years, and won the title in 2012 and 2013. During the summer LeBron James abandoned Miami Heat, while Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh remained. Presently Miami has 22 victories and 30 defeats, and holds the eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Cole went to New Orleans
Norris Cole, guard at Miami team, went to New Orleans. Miami Heat got the veteran John Salmons.
On Tuesday Dragić shocked the management of the club, announcing that he had no intention of signing a new contract after the end of the season. "I don't trust them any more. At this point of my career I feel it would be best for me and my family to move on."
The member of the Slovenian national team regressed since the previous season when he was considered the Suns' driving force; in summer Isaiah Thomas, another guard, joined Phoenix unexpectedly, and at the last moment also Eric Bledsoe signed a long term contract.
Thomas to Boston, exceptional Knight reinforced the Suns!
Phoenix aired the team well. Just before the end of the transfer period Thomas went to Boston. The new Suns game organizer became the outstanding player Brandon Knight, the best player of Milwaukee (17.8 points, 5.4 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game). The Bucks are getting the best rookie Michael Carter Williams, Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis. Philadelphia will have the opportunity for the draft in summer, according to the three clubs exchange rule.
Garnett back to Minnesota
The final day of the NBA League transfer period was very exciting. The veteran Kevin Garnett came back to Minnesota. Brooklyn got Thaddeus Young.
