As the trading deadline approaches, more and more trading schemes are listed and discussed by the US media. On January 27, Beijing time, the US media Fade World listed a big deal involving more than 10 people in 3 teams, in this plan, the Lakers sent Wei Shao and Thick Brow away, and obtained 4 new signings to join forces with James.
The specific scheme is as follows -
The Lakers get Ben Simmons, John Collins, Seth Curry, Lou Wei and the 2023 first round (from the 76ers)
The Hawks got Anthony Davis and Tobias Harris
The 76ers have Westbrook, Bogdanovic, Hunter, Munch, Okongu, the 2027 first round (from the Lakers) and two first rounds from the Hawks
Lakers: Two young stars
With such a trade, the Lakers' starting lineup could be adjusted to Simmons, Seth Curry, Ariza, James and John Collins; substitutes are Nunn, Reeves, Tucker, Anthony and Stanley Johnson.
The US media believes that the Lakers' new lineup is more reasonable and will also bring the team closer to the championship. Rid of the inefficient Westbrook and the constant thick eyebrows of injuries, the Lakers got simmons and Collins, two new stars, which is meaningful for the present and the future.
Simmons can be a qualified point guard, especially if he can make the Lakers' outside defense stronger. Collins' overall strength is not as good as Thick Brow, but his three-point shooting status is better, so far this season, Collins's three-point shooting rate is as high as 42.6%, while Thick Brow is only 17.5%. Collins can pull out the space better.
Seth Curry is an elite-caliber shooter who is well suited to play around James, averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game this season and shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range. Lv was able to bring experience to the bench.
Eagles: Trae Young welcomes superstar partners
The deal is also meaningful for the Hawks, with Trae Young welcoming a superstar partner and the Hawks once again entering the Eastern Conference. They can put up a lineup of Young + Hult + Harris + Thick Brow + Capela, and Thick Brow and Young will be one of the most threatening offensive duos in the East.
Capela and Brow have strong defensive prowess, the Hawks can build a two-tower lineup, and on the offensive end, Harris can be the third scoring point, and although he has never been named an All-Star, he has averaged at least 18 points per game for five consecutive seasons.
76ers: End simmons farce
The 76ers have been asking simmons for a high price, but have never been able to reach an agreement. The deal may not provide the best return on their minds, but it is also good for them to take a closer look.
First of all, the 76ers are equivalent to using Harris for Wei Shao, on the overall performance, Wei Shao is not worse than Harris, the US media believes that although the 76ers have little interest in Wei Shao before, but in fact, if they use Harris in exchange for Wei Shao, most of them are still willing to consider. After all, Westbrook's organizational skills are very good, and his contract period is shorter than Harris's.
Second, the 76ers exchanged Simmons and Seth Curry for chips bogdanovic, Hunter, Munch and Okongu, 4 are young people with great potential, in addition to 3 first rounds, which can be matched with Maxi and chase another superstar in the offseason.
The US media commented on the plan, believing that the Lakers became younger and more comprehensive, the Eagles found a superstar partner for Young, and the 76ers gained depth and draft signings, while dumping Harris's big contract. Do you think that this plan, the three parties who earn and who lose?
