On January 27, Beijing time, closer and closer to the trading deadline, the free market has become more and more lively, in the past night, there were 3 trading dynamics, of which the Lakers refused to sell Wei Shao, unwilling to join the first round of signing; rocket Gordon trade value became higher, attracting the attention of many teams; Simmons has a new trading plan, and the 2-for-3 transaction with the Eagles officially collapsed.
Because the effect of Westbrook joining the Lakers is not very good, the rumors about his trade have also become more, and the only thing that can take over is the Rockets, but the Lakers need to add the first round of signing in 2027. However, the Lakers are not willing to give up the first round of signings at present, and the topic of trading Wei Shao is basically over. Last offseason, the Lakers paid a high price to get Wei Shao, but they would not admit defeat in the short term and then sell it.
Now that Davis is back, the Lakers also want to see the effect of the big three playing together, which is the result they want to see. In addition, it should be noted that when the Lakers traded WithErs, it was recognized by James and Davis, and it was their positive promotion that led to this big deal. More than halfway through the season, Wei Shao still maintains full attendance, and his sacrifice is also very large, and it will take some time to adapt to the beginning of changing himself.
It is impossible to trade Wall, but the Rockets are not in a hurry, the veteran Gordon in the team is still very sought-after, and the value of the transaction has become higher. Due to Gordon's injury in previous seasons, the value of the transaction declined, but this season he has performed very well, with 14.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists, and a three-point shooting rate of 44.6%. In addition to having a stable performance, there is also a wealth of experience that attracts the attention of some championship teams, and the Lakers have also been interested in it before. Now the Eastern Dark Horse Cavaliers are also actively seeking a shooting guard, and Gordon is one of the followers.
Simmons' relationship with the 76ers has not eased, and the Hawks have been in contact with Simmons recently, and the two sides have had specific plans, but unfortunately they have not been able to reach it. The 76ers wanted to get rid of Simmons and Harris directly, and get Collins, Bogdanovic and Gallinari from the Hawks, but unfortunately the Hawks were not interested in Harris and could not find a third team to take over Harris, and the deal was finally broken. With Harden's future uncertain, the 76ers are certainly willing to wait patiently until after this year's offseason, and the combination of Harden + Embiid is still quite exciting.
