The Nets, who have lost five straight, are getting closer to falling out of the top eight in the East, but Durant is also difficult to return to the savior before the All-Star Game, Irving will not change his stubborn thinking, and Harden's injury problem is not big, but it is certainly still a little less profitable. And the sound of replacing Nash is getting louder and louder, but unfortunately it is also in vain. What can really help the Nets out of the predicament is to make a trade, initially, the Nets will certainly not trade the Big Three, how to find better players to help Harden achieve the dream of winning the championship, it is still very difficult.
However, it is reported that the Nets have accelerated discussions about a trade with the Clippers. They also rejected the option to trade Irving, because there were rumors that the Nets were willing to send Irving to the Clippers to form a new big three, in exchange for strong reinforcements such as Ibaka and Bledsoe. Now, the Nets and Clippers seem to be more realistic, and the potential solution they are discussing is a three-for-three, and the Nets only need to come up with interior star Clarkston, Nash's favorite player Carter and a first-round pick.
However, the Nets want the Western Conference powerhouse Clippers to swap out two top-tier forwards, Batum, Marcus Morris and a second-round pick. It can be seen that the Nets want to form a new championship-winning lineup on the basis of the Big Three. That's obviously a way to benefit the Nets more, but the Clippers seem to be a little bit excited. Although the Clippers still beat the Lakers in eighth place in the West, it is difficult to say whether they really have the motivation to play in the playoffs, after all, Leonard and George's combination will not be reproduced until next season at the earliest, and there is no need to fight so hard this season.
If you can get a young interior Kraxton and a first-round pick, it will definitely be beneficial to the future of the team. On the other hand, the Nets only need immediate combat power, or even be able to replace any supergiant in the Big Three. Statistically, Batum and Morris have averaged nearly 25 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game for the Clippers this season, and are impeccable on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. What's more, they are experienced players, and using them to play in the playoffs is far more reliable than players like Clarkston and Carter.
In addition, the Nets actually received an offer to trade Harden. In other words, the Nets had to make trades to keep Harden, and to consider trades from the perspective of assisting Harden to win the championship. Harden is actually just not satisfied with the Nets' inability to use the best lineup, and does not mind leading the team alone. If Durant continues to recover from injury or returns, Irving will not change his mind, and he is still willing to lead the team alone, provided that he can bring better players through trades. If the trade comes true, I believe Batum and Morris can satisfy Harden, nash's position will be more stable at that time. Nash and Harden, with their new championship-winning lineups, are hopeful of winning the title for the first time this season, which is probably a lot of faces.
