Now, there is news that the Nets and Lakers may directly make a blockbuster deal, with Westbrook and Irving being the main trading chips.
According to the famous reporter Bill Simmons, the Nets are now considering giving up Irving because the risk of renewing his contract is really too great. The contract between Irving and the Nets will expire next year. In order to minimize losses, the Nets are likely to sign and then trade away Irving. It is reported that the Lakers management is also looking at the possibility of acquiring Irving.
Another famous reporter, Kevin O'Connor, agreed with Bill Simmons's point of view. O'Connor said: "There is a rumor in the league now, that is, through a three-party transaction, the Lakers sent Westbrook to get Irving, and the Nets sent away Irving. Take Irving to get draft picks + cash, Thunder team give away draft picks + part of cash to get Westbrook."
The specific details are as follows: " Lakers give away 2 first-round draft picks + 40 million. The US dollar trade exception was sent to the Nets, and the Lakers got Irving. The Nets didn't want Westbrook, so Westbrook returned to the Thunder. "O'Connor did not disclose the chips the Thunder paid, but Westbrook will be there next season. With an annual salary of up to US$47 million, the Thunder need to give away 1-2 players + draft picks + some cash + other chips. "
O'Connor also said that most teams in the league don't want Irving, but the Lakers are an exception. Why? Because the Lakers have a person who is more difficult to deal with than Irving - Westbrook. If O'Connor's news It's true that the Lakers paid a lot for Irving, Westbrook + 2 draft picks + 40 million trade exception, 4 for 1, which seems like a bit of a loss, but they finally found a way to send Westbrook away
As for the Thunder, they. Currently in the rebuilding phase, Westbrook's annual salary of 47 million only has the last year left, so the Thunder can completely accept it. The key is that Westbrook is the first player in the Thunder's team history. By the end of next season, the Thunder can. Signing a smaller contract with Westbrook is also good for the Oklahoma City market. Westbrook can also end his life with the Thunder.
days ago, Westbrook returned to Oklahoma City to donate the basketball court.

There are various signs that Westbrook is likely to return to the place where his dream began.
If this deal is made, The three-party deal is reached, then Irving and James will reunite in Los Angeles. Although the two once won the championship together with the Cavaliers, the conflicts between the two gradually increased as time went by. Downplay, for the sake of the championship, James and Irving should be able to get back together.
