Recently, the trading market was blown by Mitchell. The Lakers missed the opportunity to trade Westbrook again. Seeing that Westbrook was about to start a new season in the Lakers, the road next season seemed to be getting narrower and narrower. Fortunately, Pelinka did not give up trading Westbrook. US media exposed two trading plans about Westbrook, and any transaction will be reborn.
First deal: Westbrook and Clay exchange their bosses, and the Warriors leave enough salary space to renew the contract, and the Rising Star
This is a simple and effective deal. The Warriors' current salary space is very tight. Wiggins, Poole and even Green, the Warriors are interested in renewing the contract, but the problem is that the salary space and luxury tax are too high for the Warriors. As early as before the playoffs last season, media reported that the Warriors would trade Clay.
Clay has experienced two consecutive serious injuries and returned to the arena, but Clay, who was once glorious, has become an occasional god, which is directly related to injury. Clay's contract will not expire until 24 years. If he is not traded, the Warriors' salary space will be locked. In this way, it would be better to get Westbrook. His contract expires next year and will be able to release enough salary space to renew the contract next season.
As a top 3D player in the league, Clay averaged 20.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists after his comeback last season. James has always been the core of the Lakers. Clay's partner James is the most suitable. Just like Curry's side, Fo Guang can still shine.
The second transaction: a recent transaction that has not won Mitchell, but Westbrook can be used for Conley, Boyn and Clarkson.
This transaction is even more worthwhile than getting Mitchell directly. The Lakers also gave Westbrook and two first-round picks as bargaining chips. Although their personal abilities are not as good as Mitchell, at least they can improve the Lakers by several levels in terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness. The Jazz are not short of good players, but unfortunately they have been rebuilt.
Clarkson can continue to deliver the best sixth man fire support in the second team, while Boyang averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, Conley averaged 13.7 points, 3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Their three-point shooting percentage is about 40%. If Davis remains healthy next season, then this Lakers can not only be able to gain a foothold in the league on the defensive end, but also have the top level of the league on the offensive end. It is inevitable that such a lineup will not enter the finals.
