The arms race of NBA has reached a fever pitch this summer, and every team is actively seeking opportunities to strengthen their lineups in order to go further next season. US media suggested the Lakers conduct a three-way trade, Irving Hayward teamed up with LeBron James to compete for the championship; in addition, according to famous reports, Harden is actively recruiting former teammate Tucker, and the two are expected to reunite in Philadelphia .
The US media suggested a three-way trade for the Lakers. James and Ou once again teamed up.
Although Irving executes the player option, there is still the possibility of being traded. The Lakers can still introduce this top guard partner James and thick eyebrows to compete for the championship. The European combination can also reproduce in the NBA again.
B/R reporter Eric Pincus proposed a three-party trade plan today. The Lakers can not only get Irving as they wish, but also bring in former All-star wing Gordon Hayward. The main content of this deal is:
The Lakers sent Westbrook , Horton-Tucker, Nunn, and got Irving, Hayward
The Nets sent Irving, and got Rozier, Horton-Tucker and Nunn
the Hornets sent Rozier and Hayward to get Westbrook
There is no doubt that once this transaction is completed, it will greatly improve the strength of the Lakers. The Lakers can also take this opportunity to return to the championship ranks and impact champion. The Lakers will gather the Big Four combination of Irving, Hayward, James, Davis, and immediately return to the championship ranks.
This deal is also good for the Hornets. By sending away Hayward and Rozier, the team can free up huge salary space and clear the way for the future contract renewals of Bridges and Sangoal.
In addition, Westbrook also has good strength, which can help the Hornets hit the playoffs ; and Westbrook's contract will expire next year, and the Hornets can free up huge salary space for reinforcement signings.
What's more important is that the Hornets boss admires Westbrook very much and hopes to bring him to the Hornets; and Westbrook is also the spokesperson of the Jordan brand. These reasons will be the reasons why the Hornets chose to get Westbrook.
But the difficulty with this deal is the Nets. If they only get players like Rozier, Nunn and Tucker, then the Nets will definitely not give up on Irving. After all, the three of them are not strong enough to help the Nets fight for the championship.
And the combination of Irving + Durant is enough to compete for the championship, if Irving doesn't cause trouble. Therefore, it is very difficult for this transaction to go through. So do you think this three-party transaction can be successful? Comments welcome below!
A famous reporter broke the news that Harden is actively recruiting Tucker.
According to US media reports, famous reporter Brian Windhorst talked about the current situation of the Philadelphia 76ers in a live broadcast.
Windhorst said: "In addition to renewing Harden, the Philadelphia 76ers will continue to explore other transactions. In addition, I have also heard a lot of news about Harris in the trading market. It is worth mentioning that , James Harden has been actively recruiting PJ Tucker."
Previously, Harden gave up the player option and chose to opt out of the contract. This move also brought the 76ers a full mid-level exception worth US$10.5 million, and also received a two-year exception worth US$4.1 million. In addition, the 76ers also have the right to sign before trading, which makes the 76ers' salary space more flexible.
Whether it is jumping out of the contract or recruiting Tucker, it shows Harden's determination to win the championship. Former teammate Tucker is very good, both offensive and defensive, has rich playoff experience, and has a very tough style of play, which is suitable for a championship team like the 76ers.
So can Harden successfully recruit Tucker, and can the two reunite in Philadelphia? Can Harden realize his dream of a championship? let us wait and see!
