Lowry for Irving ? Cheng Yaojin appears halfway, and Lakers 's wishful thinking may really come to nothing!
The Brooklyn Nets have previously said that the team management will give priority to how to deal with Durant 's transaction, and the Irving transaction will be dealt with later. But this summer, Irving's trade is almost certain, because the conflict between him and team owner Tsai Chongxin has made the transaction inevitable. According to previous reports, the team most likely to take over Irving in the entire league is the Los Angeles Lakers. They can be said to be second to none. The Lakers want to get Irving to reorganize the Big Three. Irving wants to join the team where his idol Kobe Bryant was alive, and then join forces with his big brother LeBron James to win the championship. This has long been an open secret in the league.
But even though the Lakers are eager to get Kyrie Irving , they are not willing to pay more for it. In the previous trade offer, the bargaining chips provided by the Lakers to the Nets were Westbrook + a first-round pick + a second-round pick. The prerequisite for the Nets to accept Westbrook's 47.1 million contract next season is that the Lakers must pay Two first-round picks as compensation. Therefore, there are huge differences between the two parties, which has caused the transaction to stall and is currently only in its infancy. With the Nets prioritizing the Durant trade, the Irving trade will be temporarily delayed.
It is reported that the reason why the Nets have not sent Irving to the Lakers is because they do not want to accept Westbrook's 47.1 million contract, which is 10 million more than Irving's 37.1 million contract, which will make them more leagues. Pay 50 million in luxury tax. Unless a third-party team is willing to accept Westbrook's contract, it will be difficult to reach a deal. And once no third-party team facilitates the trade of Westbrook and Irving, then before the arrival of the new season training camp, it is not ruled out that the Nets will use the extension clause to waive Irving. Of course, the Nets can use the extension clause to waive Irving, which is definitely a good thing the Lakers want. In this way, they will get Kyrie Irving for nothing without spending a single soldier.
But now it seems that the Lakers' wishful thinking may really come to nothing, because Cheng Yaojin (Miami Heat) appeared halfway. According to New York reporter Frank Isola, there is news that the Miami Heat will trade Lowry for Irving. This situation is not completely impossible. Although the Heat are the "most determined" team that wants to trade Kevin Durant , the Durant trade has not progressed, and the Heat general manager and Nets general manager Marks have already signed a deal with Las Vegas. Gas was met. This means that they may not be able to make a deal for Durant, but they are likely to facilitate a deal for Lowry for Irving.
If the Heat finally trade Kyle Lowry for Kyrie Irving, then everyone's expectation of Irving teaming up with James will be completely in vain! At the same time, the idea that the Lakers are looking forward to and the Nets will use the extension clause to waive Irving and then recruit him to their subordinates for their use will ultimately be a waste of water!
