First, the Lakers completed the Grant deal discussion! According to media reports, the Lakers and Pistons completed the grant transaction discussion, and the Lakers are actively operating the deal about Grant. According to famous reports, the Lakers are very optimistic about Grant, and in the case of the team insisting on playing five small lineups, trading Grant is the best choice for the Lakers. The Lakers are willing to give out Nunn, Tucker Jr. and a first-round pick, and hope the Pistons take over The Bazemore and Jordan Jr. from a base-pay contract. However, the Pistons are not particularly happy with the Lakers' offer at the moment, and the Pistons do not want to take over from The Pistons, who are on contract with Bazemore and Jordan Jr. If the Lakers can provide the Pistons with two first-round draft picks through a three-way deal, then the Pistons are willing to consider the deal.
Secondly, the US media broke the news of the thick eyebrow Downs swap plan, the Lakers sent away Westbrook and Davis, traded Downs and Russell from the Timberwolves, and formed the new big three of James, Russell and Towns. The US media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
For the Lakers, in the eyes of the outside world, if the Lakers do not send away Wei Shao, the team simply cannot win the championship. As the Lakers' starting point guard, Westbrook's shooting performance was too poor. Us media pointed out that because Westbrook's contract is too large, it is difficult for the Lakers to send it away, and if it is packed with Westbrook and Davis, other teams may agree. The deal allowed the Lakers to get two young star players, Russell and Towns, whose shooting ability was better than Davis and Westbrook' and which greatly improved the fit of the lineup. With james' help, Russell and Towns had a chance to win the Lakers.
For the Timberwolves, through this deal, the team got two very popular stars in the league, which can drive the sales of team tickets. In addition, Westbrook and Davis are more experienced as veterans, and the Timberwolves have a greater probability of impacting the playoffs this season. In the Lakers, James and Tucker Jr. need a lot of ball possession, and to the Timberwolves, Westbrook can control most of the team's ball, which is his most suitable way of playing.
