After the NBA trading market opened, the Lakers became the most active team again. Judging from the news of Durant applying to leave the team, Irving although he has implemented the player option, there is a high probability The Nets will use Irving After all, Irving is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. If he stays in the Nets, he will be passive and slow down. It is better to use Irving in exchange for more chips for reconstruction. According to US media, Westbrook and Irving are the main subjects of the transaction. The bargaining chip is entering the substantive discussion stage.
This news was revealed by Sun reporter John Gambadoro. He believes that the Lakers were rejected by the Nets before Westbrook's offer just because Durant did not take the initiative to apply for a trade at the time, and the Nets still have a glimmer of hope; But now , it is no longer possible for the two parties to continue to cooperate. Naturally, the Nets will also smoothly advance Irving's departure. Unfortunately, due to the deal between the Rockets and the Nets, almost all the Nets' first-round picks in the next five years will be occupied by the Rockets. , the Rockets are the biggest winner at this moment.
The Lakers are plotting a big trade! Irving may not be able to stay with the Nets
In addition, According to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, he explained the Lakers’ current offer for the Nets. The Lakers want to continue to trade around Westbrook and offer . The difference is that this time the Lakers are willing to take advantage of the two. There are three first-round picks, one of which comes from the first-round swap rights. This means that the worse the Lakers' record is, the higher the Nets will get the first-round pick. Basically, the Lakers gave away two first-round picks. With Westbrook, the 3-for-1 offer is indeed very pertinent.
The point is that Westbrook's contract will expire at the end of next season, and the Nets can release huge salary space; anyway, Irving's heart is no longer in the Nets. As the saying goes, strong-willed melons are not sweet. This time Pelinka used This way of robbing people, almost all the first-round picks before 2029 were taken away, just to bet on the potential value of Irving's deal.
Tsai Chongxin made a prompt decision, and Pelinka stayed behind.
If the Nets trade Irving and Durant this time, I believe Tsai Chongxin will not meet the needs of the two people, but will take more choices in his own hands; This is This means that as long as the other party is willing to give first-round picks and All-Star players, the Nets will pull the trigger of the transaction. Therefore, it is very difficult for Irving and Durant to join forces in the Lakers.. On the other hand, Westbrook no longer has the right to make his own choices and can only become a lamb to be slaughtered.
In the season that just ended, Westbrook's performance with the Lakers was very average. It can be said that his value is getting lower and lower. After the end of the next season, it will be difficult for Westbrook to get a multi-year long-term contract, so if this time Being able to be traded to the Nets, Westbrook may be able to play some value with the Nets and bring more opportunities to renew his contract at the end of next season or test the free market. This is actually a good thing for Westbrook.
The strange thing is that when Westbrook and Simmons join forces, both guards, who do not have shooting ability, can use their bodies to create teamwork. At least two of them can use assists to help their teammates score; now, the Lakers have refreshed With the new understanding of Westbrook's offer, we will wait and see whether the Nets will use this opportunity to trade for Westbrook. It is worth mentioning that if Irving is traded to the Lakers, it is very likely that the Nets will not grant Durant's wish for a trade if Irving is traded to the Lakers. I believe that Tsai Chongxin will not consider letting Durant go if he does not get a good bargaining chip. What do you think of such a big killer?
