This season's Lakers' poor record, a large part of the reason is the management of the operation, such as sending away only ten million annual salary can sign Caruso, but transferred to Horton Tucker ten million dollar contract, and in the game also proved that Tucker is embarrassed, he is not a lottery worth scraping, so the Lakers are eager to send Tucker out, before they have contacted the Pistons, want to use TakGanen and the first round of 2027 to trade Grant, but the other side management did not hesitate to refuse.
But the Lakers still have not given up the deal with Tucker as the main body, the recent Kings player Hield is not in good shape, the Lakers think that this is a good opportunity to pick up leaks, therefore, they intend to use Tucker as the main body to trade the King's Hilde, which is the last attempt before the trade deadline, but according to the media, the King is not at all cold to the Lakers' request for this transaction, and does not look at Tucker at all, thinking that he is a marginal asset and will not bring substantial help to the team. So there is a high probability that the Lakers will not be able to change to the King's Hilde.
But there are media reports, the Lakers are ready to break the jar broken, if Tucker trade Hield fruitless, the Lakers this season is a complete play, so they actually came up with such a loss move to send James, and to choose James's next home in The Orlando Magic, after all, the Orlando Magic team now has a lot of potential young players, Sargs, Wagner, etc., these players are very good, and James has played a very good performance in the Disney park in Orlando, and led the Lakers to win the championship, This is a blessed place for James, so it is likely to be the second spring of his career here.
But James once said that because he spent too long in the park and could not see the children's families, he hated life in the park more and more, and if he was sent to the Magic team, he would immediately choose to retire. In the past, it was just a casual remark, but now it seems very likely that he will be sent to the Magic, and I don't know if James will fulfill his promise and choose to retire immediately.
The Blazers and Pelicans have had a poor record this season, the Blazers, who were originally bent on winning the championship, fell to the tenth place in the division, and the Pelicans are even more of a mess, so these two teams want to make changes, the two sides are interested in making a trade, the Pelicans want to get CJ McCollum of the Blazers, and it is still in the case of leaving Ingram and Cairn Williamson, but the Blazers are not stupid, they also want to get a lot of quality potential players, such as Hart, etc. That's a big help for the Blazers' roster depth.
If the deal is really reached, it will be a substantial improvement for the Pelicans, they will become another team in the league with a big three, and the Blazers can completely correct Simmons after sending McClem, his strength is not bad at all, and Lillard to form a new backcourt double gun, but also get a lot of quality potential players, for the team is also a big addition. This is clearly a win-win deal, and the deadline for the deal is getting closer and closer, depending on whether the management of the two sides can reach an agreement.
