首輪籤魔術師David Griffin:站在鵜鶘角度看Jrue Holiday交易案 - NBA - 籃球
在這筆交易中,受到較多關注的肯定是公鹿隊,畢竟換來了Holiday,後續又迅速補上Bogdanovic。當鎂光燈都聚焦在密爾瓦基的同時,筆者認為其實這筆交易的真正贏家在紐奧良,他們又再次成功趁火打劫了其他球隊。
讓我們先看看這筆交易的完整內容:
鵜鶘得到:Eric Bledsoe、George Hill、三個未來首輪籤和兩個未來首輪互換權 公鹿得到:Jrue Holiday
有沒有覺得似曾相似呢?來看看當時AD的交易案吧:
湖人得到: Anthony Davis 鵜鶘得到: Lonzo Ball、Brandon Ingram、Josh Hart、2019第四順位、2021前八保護首輪 (沒兌現直接變2022無保護首輪) 、2023無保護首輪互換權、2024非保護(可以選擇延遲到2025再拿,也就是鵜鶘沒有原先報導的2025選秀交換權)
撇除掉Ball、Ingram和Hart,賣掉AD和賣掉Holiday鵜鶘都各自收回了三個首輪選秀權和兩個未來首輪互換權。當然我知道Ingram等人的價值和Bledsoe不能相提並論,但Griffin兩筆交易時機都抓在他隊的痛點,狠狠的撈他一筆,這個真的要佩服他的操盤功力。
Jrue Holiday的價值筆者在這篇有較詳細的說明,有興趣的讀者們可以參考一下。簡單來說,攻守兩端都是相當不錯的球員,可持球可無球且有關鍵時刻的單打能力,防守端更是聯盟頂尖的水準。鵜鶘失去他自然相當可惜,但他的價值有三張首輪和兩個首輪互換這麼多嗎?我個人是存疑的。不過就跟去年出售AD的時間點一樣,Griffin抓住了這些買家最需要的時候,才將物品推銷出去。
當初AD喊出Trade Me的時候,Griffin並沒有急著將其脫手,還記得當初AD可是季中就喊吹密了,但鵜鶘一直等到休賽季才把他送走,這個忍耐和判斷顯示鵜鶘的制服組相當聰明,就是在等最好的時機。當年,他們等到了湖人,因為LeBron James年事已高,尤其18-19賽季湖人甚至連季後賽都沒進,在球迷和高層(也許還有LBJ本人)都忍無可忍的情況下,他們付出了高昂的代價來獲得AD,可以說是過去和未來累積的資產全部一次送給鵜鶘。如果當初鵜鶘是選擇在季中AD一喊吹密的時候就急著處理,回報會如此豐碩嗎?我想答案是否定的。
2019年休賽季他們抓準了湖人迫切的需求,在最好的時機點才把AD賣掉,今天Holiday的交易也是一樣,只是這次的對象換成公鹿罷了。Holiday的交易傳聞去年就有了,但他們仍在等最好的機會,這次又讓紐奧良成功證明了他們制服組的能耐。
看看今年的公鹿,輔以Antetokounmpo的MVP光環加上再次奪下東區第一,闖進總冠軍賽看起來勢在必得。結果令人難堪的是,在次輪就以4比1的難看比數被熱火以下犯上淘汰。面對這樣的窘境,公鹿隊內開始有怪聲出現,再加上王牌球員字母哥合約即將到期,密爾瓦基面臨龐大的壓力。倘若再不補強,很可能獲得字母哥要求離隊的下場,此時便是鵜鶘出手的最好時機。抓著公鹿是被動方這點,Griffin自然能獲得比較好的報價,這也是為什麼他這次交易被普遍認為是贏家的原因。根據Woj的報導,字母哥是這背後的幕後主使者也說明了一切,Griffin就是咬到了公鹿的壓力。
回頭看這筆交易,鵜鶘除了拿到首輪籤這些大量的正資產以外,還收進了Bledsoe和Hill兩名球員,現在就先讓我們把選秀權放在一邊,聊聊這兩人對鵜鶘陣容的影響。
Bledsoe的部分,的確他進攻手段不穩且容易腦衝,關鍵時刻很容易因為腦袋過熱在球場當機,但在球風順的時候他仍舊能對團隊做出正貢獻。至少去年他在擔任擋拆持球者時,PPP有0.98,勝過聯盟83%的球員,同時這樣的進攻方式占了他的進攻比重28.3%。正常情況下來說,Bledsoe應該還不到負資產那麼誇張。他和Ball組成的後場防線相當令人期待,尤其身體素質他又稍稍好上Holiday一節。的確,各方面來說他都遜色Holiday太多,但要說他是毒瘤,我想是太超過了。
鵜鶘選擇開放交易Jrue Holiday是個天大的錯誤!? - NBA - 籃球
根據NBA名記者Shams Charania的報導,紐澳良鵜鶘已經開放交易陣中明星Jrue Holiday,正在和多支球隊商討交易包裹。這使今年的交易市場注入一股新活水,一個場均接近20分5籃板5助攻的明星被放上交易桌,任何Win Now的球隊應該都會想嘗試得到他,但鵜鶘真的有必要賣嗎?或者說,他們到底想獲得怎樣的報酬呢?

Jrue Holiday的價值
Jrue Holiday無庸置疑是個正資產的明星,場上可以貢獻19.1分4.8籃板6.7助攻的球員,毫無疑問對球隊有加分作用,再者他的命中率和三分命中率也是高檔的45.5%和35.3%。進攻端,Holiday是可持球可無球的雙能衛,進攻符合現階段籃球潮流,熱區集中在籃下和禁區,並不會像DeRozan需要體系配合,這樣的進攻模式基本上是隨插即用的。雖然不到Harden那樣的巨星等級,但30歲當打之年的Holiday在進攻端絕對沒有問題。
防守端呢?2018和2019兩個球季分別獲得年度最佳防守第一隊和年度最佳防守第二隊,今年場均也仍有1.6次抄截。進階數據來看,更能體現Holiday的價值,他的Diff%是恐怖的-5.0%,也就是說,他對位的球員命中率會比平常下降5%,這是相當頂尖的。6呎3吋的他絕對是目前聯盟後衛群中排名前幾的防守悍將。
攻守兩端Holiday都不會是球隊的負資產,那休息室文化呢?Holiday這塊也是聯盟中的佼佼者,事實上,他才剛剛拿下今年NBA的最佳隊友獎。在鵜鶘現在核心都是天賦爆棚年輕人的背景下,Holiday完美的扮演了休息室領導者的角色,前總教練Gentry也說過,他是鵜鶘無庸置疑的核心。身為已經在紐奧良深耕七年的球星,不論是年紀、輩分還是球迷喜好程度,Holiday在鵜鶘都扮演著重要角色。
說真的,除了他那一路到2022年,年均27M的合約以外,Holiday對球隊的所有貢獻都是正資產。

為什麼鵜鶘會想交易Holiday?
最根本的問題,就是那張合約,但Holiday並沒有對不起這個價碼,只是時間軸上跟鵜鶘的核心們錯開了。Ingram已經到了要換約的時候了,身為球隊的得分王,甫拿下MIP的他絕對是一張頂薪合約,再加上他才23歲的年紀,紐奧良不可能不續留這個未來的頂尖前鋒。不過,一旦這張合約簽下去,加上未來Lonzo Ball等人合約也跟著到期,鵜鶘的確可能為了薪資空間而放棄Holiday。不過,筆者並不認同僅僅因為薪資空間就把Holiday交易掉的決定。
首先,如果鵜鶘的核心決定是以Zion、Ingram、Holiday和Ball組建球隊的話,個人認為薪資空間不會是太大的問題。Zion要一直到2023年才有QO,這段時間之前鵜鶘都可以用很低的薪資去使用Zion,還記得Holiday的合約到甚麼時候嗎?沒錯,剛好是Zion換約的前一個球季,在2022之前鵜鶘應該是可以吃下Ingram和Holiday兩張大合約的,我不認為薪資空間應該是鵜鶘不留Holiday的理由。
如果考量的是球員屬性,認為Holiday需要球權的打法或許會壓縮到Zion和Ingram甚至是Ball的發揮空間,這點我也不認為是成立的。首先,今年當Holiday在場時,鵜鶘的ORtg是111.9,下場後則會降到110.9;防守方面就差的多了,當他在場上時,對手的ORtg是111.2,下場後則會暴增至115.5。從這個數據就可以看的出來,不論進攻還是防守,Holiday在場上時鵜鶘都打得比較好。
Report: Bucks trading big package for Jrue Holiday, acquire Bogdan Bogdanovic from Kings
The New Orleans Pelicans are trading point guard Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks, The Athletic’s Shams Charania and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski report.
The Bucks are sending Eric Bledsoe, George Hill and a draft haul consisting of three first-round picks and two future draft swaps in return in a deal reportedly reached Monday evening.
The Bucks reportedly swung another deal later Monday, sending Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova and D.J. Wilson to the Sacramento Kings for shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, Wojnarowski reports.
Bucks upgrade backcourt around Giannis
The Pelicans have reportedly been shopping Holiday, but preferred to avoid dealing him to a Western Conference rival. Instead, he’ll join Giannis Antetokounmpo on the East’s top contender.
Holiday, 30, averaged 19.1 points, 6.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds for New Orleans last season. He’s a strong defender and a capable 3-point shooter. He’s an immediate upgrade in Milwaukee’s backcourt.
Bogdanovic, 28, averaged 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists for the Kings last season. A 37.2 3-point shooter, he adds another long-distance threat that will allow the Bucks to continue to stretch the floor around Antetokounmpo.

Pelicans get big boost for youth movement
Holiday played seven seasons in New Orleans and was reportedly well-liked in addition to being one of the team’s best players.
But he’s 30 years old, and the Pelicans are building around a young core of 20-year-old Zion Williamson and 23-year-old Brandon Ingram, who emerged as an All-Star last season after being traded from the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Pelicans aren’t expected to contend next season in a stacked Western Conference. The draft-pick haul will allow New Orleans to continue to add young pieces around its core. It’s a similar package to the picks and players the Pelicans received in return for Anthony Davis last offseason.

Why did the Bucks give up so much for Holiday?
Story continues
Holiday is also a remnant of the Anthony Davis era and a player ready to contribute to a team looking to win now. That’s presumably why the Bucks made the deal and were willing to part with such a significant package.
After a second straight disappointing playoff exit short of the NBA Finals, the Bucks are desperate to build a core that can contend around Antetokounmpo as he approaches the final season of a four-year, $100 million contract. He has the option of signing a supermax extension with the Bucks this offseason or during the season, but told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet last week that his decision depends on how the Bucks build around him.
“I do not know what the plan is,” Antetokounmpo said. “It depends on what decisions they make. If they make the right decision, I’ll be there for many years. If they do not, we’ll see. The NBA is business, and we take it day-by-day. Hopefully, we can succeed together.”
The Bucks posted the NBA’s best record last season but suffered a stunning second-round playoff exit to the Miami Heat. A two-time NBA MVP at 25 years old, Antetokounmpo is a risk to leave for a franchise he believes is more capable of building a winner — perhaps that same Heat team.
Milwaukee is going all-in to convince him otherwise.
