五年影响力交易回顾：绿军锁定冠军与湖人拆队的风云变幻
（原文发表于1月7日，作者为露天看台的Grant Hughes，文章内容不代表译者观点）距离2025年的交易截止日仅剩几周时间，现在是强调联盟格局会如何被重磅交易决定的好时机。我们将通过回顾过去五个赛季中最具影响力的交易来实现这一点，重点关注那些影响总冠军争夺、打造或摧毁一支争冠球队，并在联盟内掀起巨大波澜的交易。
虽然许多较小规模的交易对冠军球队和分区决赛球队产生了显著影响，但本文仍然偏向于涉及更大牌球员的重磅交易。例如，我们都同意PJ-华盛顿去年从黄蜂被交易到独行侠后成功帮助后者打进2024年总决赛，但这笔交易并不会比涉及名人堂球员及六个首轮选秀权的大型交换更有意义。目前，各支球队正在积极准备即将到来的2025年贸易季节。以下是过去五年中最具影响力的重要五笔交易。
第五位：2023年2月 篮网将杜兰特送至太阳
主要信息：
- 篮网获得：米卡尔-布里奇斯、杰-克劳德、卡梅隆-约翰逊，以及多个未来首轮签.
- 太阳获得：KD（凯文·杜兰特）、TJ·沃伦.
Duncan表示，在詹姆斯·哈登离队后的短期内，篮网超级团队梦已经破灭，而此时KD明确希望加盟太阳，使得情况愈加复杂。在筹码有限之际，他们依旧收获颇丰。这不是太阳第一次以高价追逐明星球员。尽管处于劣势地位，但篮网借此机会清理薪资空间，为未来铺平道路，同时开启了重新建设的新篇章。而对于伤病频发且灵活性下降失去竞争力优势之一，这也让他们面临困境。
第四位：2021年8月 湖人引入威少
Main Facts:
- Lakers received: Russell Westbrook, two future second-round picks. .
- The Wizards got:Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma and a first round pick (selected Isaiah Jackson). .
This trade marked the decline of the Lakers from title contenders. Although they reached the Western Conference Finals in 2023, it was not due to Westbrook’s contribution—rather his presence became detrimental. By trading away key role players like KCP and Kuzma who were crucial during their championship run in 2019 season proved costly as well for them later on. The pairing with LeBron James never clicked effectively either leading to poor results overall while he continued struggling through last seasons without sufficient support around him resulting ultimately into further trades down line just trying get rid off bad contract signed initially by franchise management that added more burdens instead of solutions towards building strong core again after all these setbacks faced together year-on-year basis since then onwards!
