Irving Join Lakes Hope is getting bigger and bigger. Warriors star Zhu Meng Green talked about this in an interview. Dream-Chasing Green thinks Irving is a very good player, James can make him do what he is good at (scoring). However, Zhu Meng Green is still very confident about the Warriors: "They will be very competitive, but they cannot defeat us (Warriors)."
Because Irving and Nets renewed their contract, the possibility of breaking up between the two sides is getting greater and greater. One view is that Irving will choose to abandon his last year's $36.5 million player option and sign with the Lakers for 6.4 million. In order to join the Lakers, most people will definitely not be able to give up more than $30 million, but anything can happen to Irving.
If such a thing really happens, there is no doubt that the Nets and Irving are losing both, while the Lakers will make a big profit. The Nets definitely don't want this to happen. Even if Irving is leaving, they hope to exchange some powerful players or draft picks from Irving. Irving will not give up $30 million until the last moment.
Nets hope to send Irving away through trading, which can reduce losses. Irving also hopes to join the Lakers through a trade so that he doesn't have to give up $30 million. The Nets rejected the trading plan of Westbrook for Irving, but if the Lakers are willing to put Davis into the trading plan, the Nets will be happy.
NBA-mouth Nick Wright reported the Lakers and Nets' 2-for-2 trading plan, believing that this will become a win-win deal. The specific transaction content gave Westbrook and Davis to the Lakers, in exchange for the Nets' Irving and Simmons .
After the transaction is completed, the Lakers will form the new three giants of Irving + Simmons + James. The Lakers' outside strength has increased significantly, but the inside has become a little stretched. However, the Lakers can let Simmons play inside, and can also reuse Howard . Since it was a trade to get Irving and Simmons, the Lakers still have 6.4 million available in the free agent market. The Lakers can try to make a quote for Bamba who becomes a free agent. As long as they can successfully sign Bamba, the Lakers will become a super team.
Davis is indeed a very powerful player when he is healthy, but Davis' biggest problem is that he is too easy to get injured and his attendance rate is too low. If the Lakers retain the 21-22 season lineup, it would be whimsical to win the championship next season. In such a situation, it is definitely worth trying to send out Davis and Westbrook for Irving and Simmons. Since the Lakers don't have to give out draft picks in this deal, if the Lakers have good results and become a championship team after the deal is completed, they will naturally be happy. If the effect is not good, it will not affect the future of the Lakers.
And for the Nets, when Irving is determined to leave, it is also a good choice to take over Simmons in exchange for Davis and Westbrook. After the transaction was completed, the Nets formed the new three giants of Westbrook + Durant + Davis. Swap James with Durant, the effect will be very different. Westbrook was able to average triple-double in the 20-21 season, leading the Wizards into the playoffs . Westbrook performed poorly in the Lakers, and many people think he is incompatible with James and has lost himself. By joining the Nets, Westbrook can be himself again, and his performance is expected to recover and play as a giant again.
Davis's strength in health reaches the top ten in the active service, and he is the most rare inside player for the Nets. As long as Westbrook can return to the top, coupled with the double-high combination of Durant and Davis, it is not impossible for the Nets to reach the championship next season.
