In the end, the two teams, which had a lot of concerns about foreign players, made a big trade.

Busan KCC and Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang officially announced a one-on-one trade on the 10th. KCC 1 option foreign player DeYonte Burton and Cady Lahren, who is 1 option foreign player, will be exchanged.

KCC issued an official press release on the 10th and agreed to a one-on-one trade between Dionte Burton and Cady Lahren, the chief of the articles of association. Caddy Lahren is currently active in Anyang Jeonggwanjang after passing through Changwon LG and Suwon KT, and he was also a regular league king in the 2019-2020 season. Through this trade, it is expected to strengthen the height under the goal and add a sense of stability in the ball and water balance.




Burton, who won the MVP award by leading Wonju DB to the regular league championship in the 2017-2018 season, signed with KCC this season. It was an explosive expectation before the season, but it was sluggish. There was no movement as before in both air and defense. He played in 24 regular league games and averaged 26 minutes and 28 seconds, scoring 16.43 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. Each game had ups and downs, and loopholes were revealed in the team's defense.

In the case of Lahren, it was not good this season either. He was evaluated as a proven foreign player, and his defense under the basket was strong, but his scoring ability was not good. There was an outward appearance on the outskirts. He played an average of 29 minutes and 15 seconds in 27 regular league games, scoring 13.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks.

Both teams are inevitable choices, but there is a good chance that it will be a win-win trade.




KCC and Jeong Kwan-jang have only one foreign player left to replace. With more than half the season still left, the foreign player market has no attractive players to recruit. In other words, hasty replacement of foreign players is a disaster.

In the end, KCC and Jeong Kwan-jang are attempting to seal the two players, who are the Achilles' heel of both teams.

KCC's defense under the basket was the problem. Two-option Leon Williams is a hard-working big man, but he is underperforming. When choosing the button, he considered working with big forwards such as Choi Joon-yong, Song Kyo-chang, and Lee Seung-hyun. However, as Choi Joon-yong and Song Kyo-chang were unable to come out due to injury, KCC had to hold on to Lee Seung-hyun's defense under the basket. I wanted the button to help me a little more, but it didn't meet my expectations. In the end, he was inferior in defense and rebounding under the basket, and KCC felt the need to reinforce under the basket.




Jeong Kwan-jang said, "The athletic ability of domestic players is observed. There are Park Ji-hoon and Choi Sung-won and Bae Byung-joon. In addition, Jonghyun Lee and Jung Hyo-geun have a presence in the front court. There's Han Seung-hee, too. In other words, there are parts where the position overlaps with Larren.

2 option Alexander is not normal, but he is a big man. In other words, we needed a player to solve the game. Jeong Kwan-jang's motion offense has recently revealed its limitations, and he needed a player who could create shots. The defense was solid, but it lacked scoring ability. Eventually, he was able to load the shot creation and aggressive power by bringing the button.

First of all, KCC and Jeong Kwan-jang will be able to match the pieces that the team needs. This season, Burton and Lahren are 's sore fingers', but through the trade, they are going to a team that needs them more.
