According to sources, Lakers trade plan B was exposed. If they do not get Irving , then they will chase the two major shooters; in addition, after Durant applied for a trade, the Grizzlies also wanted to get him and gave A 5-for-1 trade offer; according to sources, Gordon is close to joining the 76ers and teaming up with Harden Tucker to once again compete for the championship.
Lakers trade plan B emerges
According to a report by Dave McMenamin, the Lakers' plan B in the trading market has been exposed. If they can't get Kyrie Irving , they will turn their targets to the two major shooters: Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon .
Since Durant applied for a trade, the Nets put the entire team on the shelf, and the probability of the Lakers getting Irving has also greatly increased. However, even if the Lakers do not get Irving, they still have Plan B. They will offer Rockets Gordon and Pacers Hield to strengthen the lineup.
Although these two are not strong enough compared to Irving, they can still bring a lot of help to the Lakers even if Irving cannot be obtained.
Hield averaged 15.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and shot 36.6% from three-point range. Gordon averaged 13.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and shot 41.2% from three-point range. Both of them will greatly improve the Lakers' outside firepower and make up for the vacancy left by Monk's departure. In addition, they will also have some help on the defensive end. Gordon is a very good 3D player.
However, according to sources, Gordon is close to joining the 76ers, and the Lakers may not be able to introduce Gordon. So what will the Lakers gain in the offseason? let us wait and see!
Grizzlies 5 for 1 Durant
The Grizzlies are also eager to get Durant, a super giant to strengthen the lineup, so that the team can become a real favorite to win the championship. For this reason, they have prepared a 5 for 1 trade offer. The main contents of this deal are:
The Grizzlies sent Jaren Jackson Jr., Bane, Brooks, and Durant from the Nets in the first round in 2023 and the Nets in the first round in 2025.
Obviously this deal is a great deal for the Nets. It's extremely good, three very capable young players plus two first-round picks. Such an offer cannot be refused by the Nets. As long as the Nets get these three players, they can basically ensure their hope for the future playoffs, and the Nets will not plummet.
For the Grizzlies, once Durant joins, his combination with Morant will make the entire league tremble, and the Grizzlies will become the biggest favorite to win next season. With Morant and Durant teaming up, plus the Grizzlies' original role players, their offense in the playoffs will become unstoppable, and the Grizzlies will truly evolve into a championship contending team.
Gordon is close to joining the 76ers
According to NBA reporter Evan Massey, sources revealed that the 76ers and Rockets have started trade negotiations for Eric Gordon, and Gordon will soon join the 76ers and join forces with his former teammates. Chong crown.
Once this deal is completed, the 76ers will have four old Rockets players: Harden, Tucker, Gordon and House. There is no doubt that the 76ers will be one of the favorites to win the championship next season. Whether it is Gordon or Tucker, they both have a very tough style of play, are both offensive and defensive, have rich playoff experience, and are very good players.
House is also an outstanding player, and his arrival can improve the 76ers' bench depth. The joining of Gordon and Tucker will turn the 76ers into a team with a tough style of play, and the two of them will also become the best helpers around Harden and Embiid .
