Recently, the Nets' record is not good, and they have lost four consecutive games, and the Lakers, who have lost consecutively, and many giants have been injured. For the Nets and Lakers, it is imperative to complete the transaction as soon as possible to strengthen the team's strength, and the Nets have a lot of chips in their hands, and there are two trade exceptions, which are very likely to bring surprise transactions before the trade deadline. Of course, according to people close to the Nets, the Nets still don't want to take out Clarkston and Joe Harris as trading chips at present, unless they can exchange top players.
On the one hand, Clarkston has the ability to overpower Aldridge as a starter, and his potential is beyond doubt, on the other hand, Joe Harris is still the league's top outside player, and when the Big Three can't fit together, healthy Joe Harris is indispensable. However, if the Nets lose again, the sixth position in the East may not be saved, and it is passive in the selection of the playoffs, Harden does not want to see such a situation, after all, he has been pursuing the championship, if he can not win the championship for two consecutive seasons, Harden's first choice must be to leave the team at the end of the season.
Sources say the Pistons, the second-to-last In the East, are sticking to the idea of rebuilding and have also begun discussions with the Nets about a trade, targeting Clarkston and Joe Harris. Of course, this requires the Pistons to send grant, who is expected to become superstar. Grant's current popularity in the trading market is staggering, and the Nets don't need to reinforce on the offensive end, but on the inside and defensive ends need to be immediately combated. In fact, Grant's scoring ability is no less than that of the Big Three, and the fact that he has averaged nearly 21 points per game this season is a good proof.
The reason why this deal has a great potential to be promoted is because the Pistons have taken a fancy to the value of the trade between Clarkston and Joe Harris, hoping to exchange them for a higher draft pick, which is evident in the heart of reconstruction. Grant ostensibly doesn't want to play a supporting role, so he once refused to go to the Lakers to serve as the fourth big man, and of course, the Lakers' trade plan could not satisfy the Pistons. However, the Nets' big three lineup should not last, and if Harden wins the championship as he wishes, he may also sign first and then change out of the team.
Therefore, Grant still has the hope of becoming the second in command of the Nets, and the situation that Irving only plays on the road is not expected to change. As a result, the Nets are expected to complete the formation of the Big Four this season, Harden no longer needs to complain that the best players do not play, and Durant's pressure on the front line will be shared. The biggest problem left is head coach Nash, who is the most scolded by fans. Of course, the Big Four lineup can make up for a lot of weaknesses, and if Grant joins, Harden is really close to the championship this time.
