The rumors about the Lakers and Kyrie Irving have actually been around for a long time. Now the trade negotiations between Lakers and Nets have reached a deadlock. In this regard, the Nets need to deal with Kevin first. -The problem of Durant , on the other hand, is that the Lakers are not willing to give up too many assets. Both sides have concerns. It seems that it is difficult for these two teams to resolve this transaction quickly, and in Beijing time On July 13, the US media "lakeshowlife" made a bold analysis. They drafted a trading plan involving 24 NBA teams. This plan would allow the Lakers to obtain Turner + Irving , and it would also allow the Lakers to acquire Turner + Irving . The Nets received 5 first-round picks in return. Why not take a look at this four-party big trade plan?
In the US media's four-party big trade plan, the Lakers will get Kyrie Irving, Turner and the Suns' 2025 second-round pick; the Pacers will get the sign-and-trade Ayton, Joe Harris , cash from the Lakers; the Suns received Kevin Durant, 2 second-round picks from the Pacers in 2023; the Nets received Westbrook , Hield , Bu Riches, Tucker, first-round picks from the Suns in 2023 + 2025 + 2027, first-round swap rights in 2028 and top-three protected first-round picks in 2029, first-round picks from the Lakers in 2027, First-round swap rights in 2029.
Originally, the Lakers were unwilling to take a first-round pick when sending out Russell Westbrook, but due to the existence of Irving, the Lakers were ready to take a first-round pick. It happened that the Lakers were interested in Turner. Interested and the Pacers are interested in Ayton, Turner is an inside man who can shoot and defend, which can obviously better help LeBron James to hit the championship, Irving + James + Big Eyebrow Brother + Turner, The Lakers can cry for the championship again. In this plan, the Lakers took out Tucker, Westbrook, 1 first round, 1 first round exchange rights and cash.
The Suns got Durant in the plan. This is the former God of Death. He lost in the finals last year and did not enter the Western Conference Finals this year. With Durant, the Suns will really be closer to the championship. , or in other words, to continue the championship, it is not a secret that the Suns owners do not want to spend too much money, which means that they are unlikely to swallow Myles Turner’s big contract, and through the US media’s plan, a On the one hand, the Suns got Durant, and on the other hand, they also saved money. This seems to be a good operation. In the US media plan, the Suns offered 4 first-rounders + 1 first-round exchange rights, Bridges, Second round pick, Ayton.
The Pacers are interested in Ayton, but their bargaining chips are not enough to make the Suns make a decision quickly, because the Nets have not yet released Durant, and the Suns also have reasons to wait and see, and the US media's plan directly allows the Nets to trade With Durant, everything became clear. In this plan, the Pacers got Ayton in a sign-and-trade. The Pacers sent Hield, Turner, and 2 second-round picks, and 2 of them are coming soon. A long-term contract in exchange for an insider like Ayton. If the Pacers wanted to get Ayton, they would probably have to offer such chips, but this plan accelerated everything.
The Nets are the protagonists in the US media's plan. They received a boatload of draft picks, 5 first-round picks, and 2 first-round exchange rights. However, because they gave away Harris, Durant, and Irving, in fact, They also reduced the total salary through this plan, saved money, got enough first-round picks, and got the young Bridges, Westbrook + Curry Jr. + Bridges + Simmons + Clarkston , this lineup may seem a little far away from competing for the championship, but it is still competitive. If it is determined that Durant and Irving cannot be retained, this will be a very suitable trade plan for them, isn't it?
