Irving's deal, because the Lakers have been unwilling to take out an additional first-round pick, the negotiations with the Nets have been put on hold. The Lakers took advantage of the Nets because the player himself is willing to join, and other teams are not interested in Irving. What was originally thought to be a solid deal suddenly turned out to be a deadly rival in the same city, " Clippers ".
The Clippers have always liked to intercept the "Lakers". The Clippers don't care whether they really need the players that the Lakers like. Nader has made the Lakers very popular. The bargaining chip offered by the Clippers this time is Morris Jr., Powell, Brandon Boston Jr. and the 2028 first-round draft pick. This offer is much more sincere than Kobe's. The rest depends on how the Nets decide? After all, what the Nets value more is getting two first-round picks, which is the key to their reconstruction.
The Clippers have signed Wall this summer. Leonard has returned from injury this season. If they can sign Irving again, they will really become the favorite to win the championship.
