September 22nd news, NBA preseason is coming soon, and the training camps of each team are about to begin. Although the new season is about to begin, it is also a period of frequent large transactions. Today, several good news came from the Lakers. First, according to the famous reporter Shams, Lakers and Pacers are in a stagnant trade. There are signs of recovery, and the two sides have further discussions. Secondly, news came from Boyang of the Jazz that the player himself wanted to be traded and left the team as soon as possible.
First of all, let’s talk about the transaction between the Lakers and the Pacers. The Lakers want to exchange Westbrook for Hilde and Turner. The Pacers want two first rounds, but the Lakers are unwilling to overdraw the future and are only willing to send out one first round. The negotiations between the two sides are stalemate. Now that the Pacers have taken the initiative to communicate with the Lakers after the negotiations have stagnated, they still insist on asking for two first-round picks, but their attitude has changed. The Pacers don't seem to want to miss this opportunity, and it is precisely because of this move that gives the Lakers room to maneuver.
followed by the Jazz's Boyan. After trading Gobert and Mitchell , the Jazz also began to completely rebuild, but for some players with ideals and pursuits, their future is obviously no longer in the Jazz. There was previously news that the Lakers were interested in trading for Boyang, Clarkson and Conley, but because the two of them had been together for many years, only Boyang met the needs of the Lakers. Now Boyang has taken the initiative to speak out and leaving the team, and many media have also confirmed the news that Boyang is expected to be traded soon.
These two things happened at the same time, which brought us a signal that the Lakers' "drag decision" played a role, and now they are slowly getting out of the passive situation. This change is a good thing for the Lakers. The Pacers have changed from being arrogant to taking the initiative, and Boyang has taken the initiative to apply for trading and leaving the team, which are all positive signals to accelerate trading negotiations. The Lakers have also become smarter this time. They have repeatedly exposed Westbrook to stay through the media, designed tactics for him, and asked him to play as a substitute. Rather than saying that this is a smoke bomb, it is a way to maximize profits. If you can get one less in the first round of picks, you can earn money. What do you think?
