I believe many netizens already know that Rockets and Thunder have made a small transaction of large scale.
Rockets get Feworth , Maledon, Hackles and Jerome and the second round pick, and the Thunder get Novaba , Brown , Chris and Burke. The eight players involved in
are not in the plan. Some fans joked that the Rockets and Thunder's general manager made this deal mainly to prove that he was working and was not lazy?
The Rockets sent out 4 people, but they still had to be replaced with 4 people, and the lineup still needs to be simplified.
The first person to leave is 25-year-old defender Jerome, who is 1.96 meters tall. This person has no value in training.
The second person to leave will be Morris Hackles . The Rockets are expected to buy out the 29-year-old forward, and NBA reporter Grant Afseth made a revelation.
Hackles has been traded 3 times in less than three months. He was first sent to the Eagles by the King, then transferred to the Thunder by the Eagles, and now he was thrown to the Rockets by the Thunder. Harkless didn't want to accompany the Rockets to play badly, and Stone was not interested in keeping him.
Lakers The opportunity to strengthen the striker is here. Once the Rockets buy out Harklis, he will become a free agent and the Lakers can sign him with their basic salary.
Hackles is 2 meters tall 01 wingspan 2 meters 13. This top 15 pick has been a rotation player since entering the NBA. He has 621 regular season games and 33 games playoffs experience. Although Harklis made average three-pointers, his defense was good and he also had certain passing ability. The Lakers signed him with basic salary. In fact, some American media have suggested that the Lakers target Harklis.
Hackles cannot solve the problem of the Lakers lacking outside firepower, but Eric Gordon can.
"NBA Analysis Network" said that the Lakers have always been eager to trade for Gordon , and general manager Pelinka may be willing to trade Reeves for him.
Reeves is the Lakers' hope star. The 24-year-old double-athlete guard , who is 1.96 meters tall, averaged 7.3 points per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 45.9%. He has a high football quotient and has a big heart. Previously, a reporter said that Reeves played the first round pick and the Lakers picked up the treasure.
"clutchpoints" also mentioned before that the Lakers are fully promoting trading reinforcement, and Reeves may become a victim.
Before, American fans also said that Reeves has potential to tap and is very suitable for the Rockets.
"NBA Analysis Network" recently proposed a three-party trading plan. The Lakers gave Westbrook , Reeves, Nunn and multiple draft picks, and won four strong players including Gordon.
The specific plan is as follows:
Lakers get Gordon, Pearl, Mike Dermott and Richardson .
Rockets got Reeves, Nunn, the second round pick in 2023 and the second round pick in 2024.
Spurs got Westbrook, the first round pick in 2027 and the first round pick in 2029.
Gordon's strength needs no need to say, he is a playoff tough guy who has been highly recognized by James .
Pelter is a center with a height of 2.16 meters. Last season, he averaged 13.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 61.8%, which can provide great help to the Lakers.
Michael Demott is a 2.01-meter forward with 15 playoff experience and a three-point shooting percentage of 42.2% last season. Richardson is a 1.96-meter-high defender with 30 playoff experience and his three-point shooting percentage last season was also as high as 44.4%. Both of them are the Lakers' much-needed sharpshooters, which can open up space for James and Davis .
