The Rockets' asking price for Gordon is at least a first-round pick or a young immediate player. If Tucker and Gordon can go to the 76ers to reunite with Harden in the end, they will be the Philadelphia Rockets!

Last season, Looney averaged 6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2 assists in the regular season and 5.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the playoffs. His rebounding and defense are an integral part of the Warriors' interior!
However, even if they face a huge luxury tax, the Warriors still plan to renew their contracts, but this is not necessarily the case for 3D player Otto Porter.
The Bucks failed to defend the title this year and stopped in the second round. The team did not make any major trading moves. However, the management still hopes to transfer power forward Portis. What he left behind.

According to BR reporter Jack Fisher: The Lakers hope to use the mid-level exception (6.3 million per year) to keep Monk.
Monk played very well as James's guard with a knife last season. He averaged 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 76 regular season games, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.1%.
As a 3D player, based on Monk's data last season, if he goes to other teams, he will definitely get a big contract with an annual salary of over 10 million U.S. dollars, but the Lakers can only give him 6.3 million a year at most. Whoring for free.
